Pant mp thy scyhe, and stop the running sands,
Come, rest awhile and warm thy chilly hands;
For we have met amid the tropics storm,
mid hVhtninss flashes and the plaques dread
ofttimss I've married. with thee blow for blow,
Have laughed 20 scorn thy dastardly attack
When Afric's fever bound me ON the rack
Have met thee often on my pleasure tours,
And ilurneyrd with thee where fair virtue pours
Her sweetest blessings through the summer days;
Where youth, gay, buoyant youth, with guileless
Gathered the wi a flowers from the green hillside,
or played with tie ripples Of the dancing tide;
Sang with the wild birds notes of praise To God,
And chased the phantom JOY firm sod TO sod
I've seen thee glance at beauty's cheek,
And listen to her voice whene'er she'd speak;
Gaz n her ruby lips and rounded form,
Feast on her graceful shape and bosom warm
Then raise thine hand, armed with thy treacherous
And sheath its brightness In her broken heart
I've seen thee follow manhoods neetest stride,
Bounding DER ice aud snow, the nations pride;
o. ,tormy seas thou tread 1T with h IN the deck,
waitest the moment when his ships wreck,
Then ieavst his frozen form upon the snowy beach.
Oh, have met thee oft, throughout my life,
Bit never feared tree In tho lhickest strife;
I've ate and drank with thee rom eve TIL morn,
Our Glasses drained till alio her day was born.
Hidden In ambush oft I've drawn thy fire,
Unnnsked thy batteries, forced thee to retire,
Baffi a. outhanked thee, put thee to the rout,
Spiked thy last battery, left thee not one scout
Now sound truce! truce twixt thee and mel
NV years will be but few ere shall be
Named with the countless throng who've passed

Who'ye lived and loved, and molder'd to decay.
Put up thy soy he, nor stop my feeble breath.

Wanted a Recess.

In the early days of Michigan there
lived in Livingston county an old chap
who would bring suit against any man
on earth on the slightest possible pre-
text. The fact that he was often beaten
and saddled with costs did not cool his
ardor bit. On one occasion he sued a
man for waking him out of an afternoon
nap, and again he took out warrant
for man who accidentally knocked his
hat off. One day death came suddenly
to the old mans wife. He was, as usual,
engaged in a law suit, and had just told
the jury what he expected to prove in a
case where boy had let his hogs out of
the pen when q messenger came In with
the sad news.
"Your Honor, I've just heard that my
wife is dead, said the old man as he laid
down his notes.
"Then I'll adjourn court"
"Oh, you needn't do that. Just an
nounce recess for fifteen minutes until
/ run home and tell 'em not to lay out
the body in the best bedroom. One of

The Baptist society has been organ

and attractive church building on
Third street, which was practically
rebuilt last season at q considerable
cost. Its pastor is Rev. J. F. Merri-
man, and its officers are Geo. M.
Palmer, clerk and Geo. w. Mead,
treasurur. The board of trustees who
control its affairs, are w. G. Durkee,

Besides the above, there is an Epis-

our most influential families, who
worship in q neat edifice on Broad

at present.
The Christian church, a modest I'M

schools. having an annual enrolment OF
over eleven hundred pupils, and Off
cered by twenty-one experienced and
earnest instructors, carefully selected
with view to their success as teachers,
from the best schools in the country,
east and west. The system comprises
twelve grades, eight being preparatory
to the High school, which completes
the four remaining years Of the course
of study.
The schools are working under
special charter granted by the State leg
islature, comforting all legal authority
to the board of education, to properly
conduct and control them. The High
school course of instruction is very
thorough, practical and sufficiently adj
vanccd to easily admit its graduates to
the Sophomore class of American col
leges. Working under the estate law
for the encouragement of higher educa-
ton" our High school scholars pass
| their examinations here for admission
to the State University. The High
| school and all final examinations in
studies here are recorded in the Uni
versity books. THIS school has an I'M
usually good corps of teachers, who
have made special preparation for theIl
work. They are scholarly, earnest
practical, wide awake to the interests OF
the school, and apace with the modern
methods of instruction.
The High school has an excellent Ii
brary, containing some 500 volumes o
standard works in the various depart
mcnts of literature; = good laboratory
which is constantly receiving additions
in illustrative apparatus, both phlioso
phica and chemical. The rhetorical
work of the school is done in societies
in one of which, the "Philalithian," tn

The systems of education employed
to soften and cultivate the human race
arc as varied as the productions of the
soil. Germany has its own peculiar
methods, France has created one, Eng
land and America differ, and Legislators
in all past ages have varied as to means
and methods of teaching; but on one
point there is a harmonious chord, that
education is not only essential to good
government and the progress of society
but a positive necessity. Wherever
there is to be found good schools there
will be found refined and intellectual
industrious and progressive community
awake to the sensibility that our fire.,
institutions and popular form of gov
eminent require obedience implicit t.
the laws under which we attained OH
glorious independence, and to perpetu
ate which there is no feature SO mucl

cation.

SOUTHWESTERN MINNESOTA
Is Where Blue Earth County
is Located.

The st. Paul Gtobe of recent date
contains the following statement:
"Mr. c. W. SIayton. the enthllsias.
tic land agent of the land department
of the st. Paul & Sioux City road, who
has recently returned from England,
where he went in the interest of the
department he represents. begins to
see the results of his trip. Several
parties he conferred with while in
England have come over to Minnesota
and located in the southwestern part
of the state. which, in the opinion Of
many people, possesses very superior
attractions for mixed farming. Here
it is that the great State of Minneso-
tn furnishes the best climate. the
best water, the best grasses and the
richest soil, which is better adapted
to stock raising and general farming
than any other country in the world.
TO this proposition Mr.. Slayton is
committed, and with him in this be-
lief are thousands of others. If there
is any one calculated to develop this
important and rich portion of the
state, it is the sturdy English farmer,
especially after he has become Yam
keeized. Through Mr.. Slayton's eff
Orts a most valuable accession to our
population is being made. The Eng
fish farmers that ale going in there
are of the best class, and all have
some means. They are establishing
diaries, putting in mixed crops, of
oats, wheat. barley, flax and corn, and
are introducing valuable stock, which,
if kept up for few years, cannot
fail to make that part of the State
the garden spot of the commonwealth.
Mr.. SlaytOn firmly believes with Mr..
j. II. Drake that man who lives in
Il country where he cannot raise corn
is Il long way from home, and is de. D
termined to demonstrate that mixed
and stock raising 60 together
1t looks as though he
would succeed. Yesterday another
party of half dozen English farmers
and went out to the south
western part of the State to select
land and commence farming, and
others are to follow"
OF all this southwestern territory,
there is not county that has SO many
natural advantages as Blue Earth,
and we say this with all due respect
to the other counties, and in no dis.
whatever TO the many
attractions they all possess.
We would only ask those i'm pur-
suit of homes to come and look
through our county. The proof of
the pudding is in the eating"

Intermediate and Grammar, and is dc.
signed to afford to Normal students am
pie opportunity for observation and
practice. The rooms occupied by these
grades are models of comfort and beau
ty, and the instruction of children, I'm
der the direction of the most accom-
plishcd teachers that could he secured
from the celebrated Normal and training
school of Oswego, n. Y, is up to tho
highest standard of modern scientific
methods. The success of the work in
this department of the school during
the past year is believed not TO have
been surpassed in any other school in
the Northwest. Tuition in this depart
mcnt is only $3.50 per quarter.
CABINET AND APPARATUS.
The school is provided with good
sets of philosophical and chemical ap-
paratus, physiological charts and mod
els, a geological and neurological col
lection, and fine collection of mounted
specimens of the birds and quadrupeds
of the State. These afford excellent
material for illustrating the natural
sciences, and are constantly available
for use by the teachers in both the
Normal and Model departments.
REFERENCE AND GENERAL LIBRARY.
During the past two years an addition
of over $500 worth of reference books
and works of standard literature has
been added to the previous collection.
The new selection was made with great
care, and the school now possesses what
it has long needed not only an excel
lent reference library but good num-
Der of the best works in all departments
of English literature.
LABORATORY.
The chemical laboratory is provided
with the modern cOnvcniences, an
abundant water supply, assay furnace,
ventilating shaft, and individual tables,
furnished with the necessary apparatus,
at which students make analysis and
conduct experiments themselves. The
department of natural science continues
in charge of Prof. A. f. Bechdolt, A.
NJ, graduate of Lafayette college, and
as scientist without superior in the
State.
READING ROOM.
Among the recently added but most
valuable features of the school is the
reading room, neatly furnished, adorned
with pictures, (among them two fine
large water colors, prepared by men,
beers OF the drawing classcs,) and pro-
vided with much of the leading period
