EXTREMES.

In the natural world extremes are generally
not far apart A long wet spell is usually
followed by a long dry spell. This principle
seems to run through every thing. Ultra men
are not safe leaders. Besides being unreason'
able, they are liable at any moment to shift
their position and advocate the cause which
they once denounced. Ultra politicians are
not to be depended upon. Extreme temper
ance men often turn out sots. In religion,
men who become more orthodox than the Bible,
are liable to become at any moment as hetero-
dOX as Satan.

[Original.J


That there is in the world book which is
called the Bible, no one who is not hOpelessly
insane, an idiot, incorrigibly ignorant, or the
inhabitant of some heathen land, will deny.
This book that is called the Bible, claims to
be of divine origin. This is either true or it
is false, and if the Bible is of divine origin,
the religion of the Bible is of divine origin
and if the Bible is not of divine origin, the
religion of the Bible is not of divine origin.
This is so clear that no one will call it.in ques'
tion.
One among the many proofs of the divine
origin of the religion of the Bible, is the
fact that it lives and flourishes in spite OF
the follies and frailties of those who profess
it. Those whose business it is to propagate
the religion of the Bible are often little better
than the verieSt traitors. PrOfeSSed Christians
often conduct themselves in way emnently
calculated to bring the religion which they
profess into disrepute. Ministers of the gos.
pei, aside from the fact that they are beset
with all the infirmities of sinful humanity,
frequently fall into gross and fragrant lmmor'
alities The records Of the Church show that
no inconsiderable number of Christian minis
ters fall into open profigacy. We hear OF
them becoming drunkards, OF libertines, OF
absorbed in worldly pursuits, but their unmin-
isterial and unchristian conduct has no more
effect in retarding the spread Of the gospel
than the dropping of a pebble into the ocean
has in stopping it's motion. The Church is
not absolutely dependent upon any man or set
of men. If all the ministers of the present
day would desert the cause which they have
espoused and become pagan priests, God would
raise up men to preach the gospel Civil and
military schemes are hopelessly ruined by trait
ors and deserters; but the spread of the gos-
pei suffers no loss by this class of individuals.

@TThe real evils which war against us and
our true interests are not temporal, but spir-
itual are not without us in our circumstan-
ces, however untoward these may be-, but are
within us, in our hearts, and spring from
guilt and pollution, from our unruly tempers
and our unholy passions. Let the heart be
right with God, then it will easily adjust itself
to it's surroundings. But then to be right
with God it must be right toward men also.

How THEY RATE BEAUTY IN TEXAS
The young men have way in Texas of rating
the girls as they do cotton. If only moderate
in style and appearance she is a good ordinary,
if more than usually attractive she is good
middling, but if superior in all the graces and
charms, then she is the highest grade-mid-
ding fair. Further west, in the cattle region,
she is long horn if only of moderate beauty,
but short horn if of superior attraction.

IMPARTING INFORMATION UNDER Diff
CULTIEs.-It was on a street Car coming up
from the Union depot yesterday a man with
a very hoarse voice looked across the aisle at
a man with country satchel between his feet,
and said:
''Wintry day, isn't it 20
'Hey?" called the other as he put his hand
to his ear.
''Seems like winter, doesn't ?'' shouted
the man with the hoarse voice.
'sHey hey ?' asked the deaf man.
''He says" began man who was standing
up. she says it seems like winter''
At this moment the hoarse-voiced man rose
up and slid out of the car. AS he did so the
deaf man rose up, laid two parcels on the seat,
and called out:
:'Speak louder I'm deaf!''
''He says it seems like winter" bawled the
man standing up.
''Who says so ?"
He turned around to that hoarse-voiced
man, but that person had skipped.
''Who says so ?'' demanded the deaf man.
'I-I-why, say So"
''Well what of it I? Haven't seen enough
to know that it is winter weather? Don't
try any of your guys on me or I'll knock the
top of your head OFF,
Then the deaf man sat down and the mid
die man sneaked out and dropped off the car,
and said he should spend the rest OF his life
looking for the hoarse man.

the profit from the contentment of the animals
for they do thrive better in such buildings
The Ohio Farmer says of making cutters in
stables
'First drive in your largest or longest cow
and chain her up in the back stall next drive
in your smallest or shortest cow in the front
stall. Then give them meal or other feed in
their managers, and while they are quietly and
comfortably eating, seeing that they are stand
ing squarely on their feet, carefully mark the
position of the hind feet upon the ground and
draw a line between these points across the
entire stable. This line will mark the posi-
tion of the front edge of the manure gutter or
trough Back of this line dig out square
ditch 16 inches wide and or 10 deep. Into
this drop your plank gutter which should be
made of two inch plank. The bottom plank
should be II or IL inches wide, and the sides
from to inches wide according to the meth
cd adopted of spiking them together, so as to
leave your manure gutter full twelve inches
wide in the clear and not less than or inch
es deep. The top of this trough must be well
braced at intervals IF feet to prevent the
pressure of the ear IN from forcing in the side
planks and thus making the gutter too narrow

MADISON LETTER.

The weather which was all that could
be desired during the early part of the
Assembly, suddenly changed, July
30th, and the rain came down i'll tor
rents. The zeal of the campers was
equal to the occasion, and each service
in the large pavilion was well attended,
and the interest continued without
abatement until the close. The Mis-
sionary and Temperance days were re-
plete with marked enthusiasm. and
the calculation of great and important
facts. The unanimity Of feeling re-
garding the prohibition movement
which characterized the speeches of
many, coming as they did from differ
ent parts of the State, indicates that
the work is of much greater extent
than is generally supposed. Wiscon-
sin may be the last to wheel into the
line of this onward march of pro-
gress, ~ but even nowshe has reason
to be proud of those wlo contend for
prohibition via of third party. Tues
day evening, Aug. 1st. Hon. Geo. W.
Vending, of Bloomington, ILL.,, gave a
lecture on "Voltaire'. This, with the
one he delivered the following MORN
ing on Immortality, ranks rs the
very best given on the Assembly
grounds. His sweep of thought, beau
ty of diction, fervor of imagination,
coupled with the most powerful elo-
quence we ever heard, renders it utter
ly impossible for tongne or pen to de-
scribe these two efforts He did not
appear as the representative of any de-
nomination, or even as tie champion
of christianity, but, SIS one who
was most terribly in earnest to
know the truth, and to become
satisfied on questions of eternal
interest to a human SOUL In
his lecture on ssVoltai.s' he gave
a brief history of the msi and of his
career as opposed to the christian re-
ligion, and then ignorinepersonalities
he sifted that system of thought.
known as Infidelity. The following
are some of the propositions which he
substantiated in the most forcible
