The many friends of Mrs. A. M. Diaz will
be glad to welcome her this afternoon at the
First Parish church, where she speaks on
"Women'S Work for the Millennium" The
following extract from an exchange will show
the spirit of her thoughtful address: make
women think and they will think themselves
up to higher conditions make women think,
and they will come to such sense of their re-
sponsibiliies and possibilities, that all ignoble
aims will be forever crushed out of existence.
The influence of all this will be seen, in the
ordering of their lives, in their social inter-
course, in the home atmosphere, and ia the
characters of the Children

A LifeIike Picture.

Messrs. Sawyer and LeProhon, agents for a
we'll known firm who deal in soda, have Just
had sign painted for them by Cloudman,
representing the firm trademark. The sign is
SO artistic that it is elevated above the level Of
s:gn-painting to real art. The trademark is a
cow, and the way in which COW was selected
WAS this: A member of the firm said he didn't
think trademark was necessary. "Oh, yes, II
is" said friend. "Well then, said the manu-
facturer, "what shall have" s'Have cow, u
said the friend.
The COW in question was selected as the
trademark, and consequently for the sign. 1t
was one of herd of four, imported Jerseys
and took the prize at the Centennial This
COW was Lady Manda, and valued at many
thousand dollars, giving 10 quarts of rich milk
a day.
Mr.. Cloudman has given all the points of the
Lady Manda with great accuracy and to the
great delight OF celebrated stock breeders in
this city and vicinity. The coloring is very

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1883-11-29

OK recent morning, in Cincinnati,
q band of colored persons marched to
the waters edge on the Ohio, just be-
low the Newport and Cincinnati rail-
way bridge and directly opposite
Sausage row, where the vilest negro
desperadoes resort. They had come to
take part in the ceremony of baptizing
by immersion a newly-converted sister
The weather was very cool, and the
early morning, when few people were
stirring, was chosen to escape inter
ruption. After n song and a. prayer,
the gowned minister and the candidate
"A coal-black, stout young girl
waded slowly into the chilling water.
The girl shivered at first; but, exhort-

Make the GallOws Less Interesting.

If anything would convince me that
hanging should be abolished it would
be the universal accompaniment of the
spiritual adviser and the triumphant
entrance into glory of the condemned
and executed criminal. 1t is impossible
that any moral effect, such as is
desirable, should be produced when a
hanging, instead of proving a terrible
punishment, is made the termination of
an interesting devotional scene where
the murderer is given the most fiatter-
ing and respectful attention and his
"last words" made the sensational head
lines of every daily newspaper in the
land. IL is foolish to mitigate the ter
rors of the law by such means, and the
custom should be abolished. Let it
once become q law that from the
moment sentence of death is passed
upon criminal he is never to be seen
or heard of by the world again; that
all persons about him and admitted to
him are bound to silence concerning
him, and the punishment will assume
an aspect more terrible. - Washington

The Future Life.

/ don't believe that we carry into the
other life this material body, although
we do carry our personal identity, our
reason, our moral sense, our magma
ton, our affections, our aspirations, our
high, coronal and perfect man. don't
think that we carry the generative
process, or the appetites or passions.
Those are baser organs belonging TO
this life, and when this world is over
what is the use of carrying that which is
useless? Men carry umbrellas when it
rains, but they are of no use when the
rain is over. 1t 10 very we'll for a man
to have a bodily appetite as long as he
is to act in his body, but when he goes
into another sphere he will not need
them. 1t is asked of me if man will
not repent in this life can he he ex-
pected to grow better in the life to
come? / answer, yes" A man might
find it impossib to lead a better life
in New York, but carry him to Oregon,
away from the bad influence surround.
ing him here, and allow other and bet.
ter influences to act upon his nature,
and he would live better life. He
might never repent in New York; he
will repent and do better there.

In Behalf of the Crank.

No other epithet is flung about so
freely, so promiscuously and so I'M
thinkingly among us self-complacent
Americans as that little sentence, "Oh,
he is a crank" 1t is applied to anybody
and everybody who has intelligence
enough to conceive an idea little out
of the common way and earnestness
enough to advocate it. 1t makes no
difference whether the idea is destined
tomorrow to revolutioniZe the whole
country, or has not vitality enough to
impress any one else than the author
All the same, the man who speaks a
new word and gives evidence that he
believes it a true one may be prepared
for the semi-amused, semi
reception which is waiting for all
"cranks."
We pride ourselves on our tolerance,
and glory in the personal liberty of be-
lief and action which we give to all our
fellow citizens. But for everything
that is novel, from a machine to II moral
reform, it is the tolerance of contempt
and n personal liberty that goes no
farther than bodily safety. 1t is more
intolerant aud narrow to put man in
prison for preaching a belief that he
solemnly believes will better the world
than it is to jeer at everything he says,
call him a crank and bring ridicule
upon him and his belief on every pos
sible occasion.
1t is the cranks who move the world,
after all, and it is the people who laugh
at the crank and indulge in a good
natured, easy-going complacency,
grown fat and thick headed on self-sat-
isfaction, that laughs Unfortunately
at crankS and derides new ideas as
cranky theories. There is something
alarming to lovers of progress in this
growing tendency of Americans TO jeer
down every novel proposition as cranky
and to apply the epithet crank" to
every man or woman with an out-of-t the
way idea. 1t shows that we are grow
ing inaccessible to new ideas, narrow
and bigoted; that we soon will not
have, if this continues, healthy,
broad, generous tolerance for whatever
is labeled progress. 1t is not neces-
sary that we should take up whatever
scheme comes along, but if We would
justify our pride in our tolerance and
freedom from bigotry we should give a
respectful hearing to new schemes and
new ideas and be willing to admit the
possibility of their soundness even
though our individual judgment does
not commend them.-BOSton Globe.
