For the Northern Tribune:
The assembling together of so many
people of different denominations and
societies to pay the last tribute of re-
spect to the memory of disciple and
faithful servant of Christ, Rev. j. Ii.
Magoffin, was grand homage to the
Gospel of the Divine Teacher The
Masters spirit in the unity; truth, good
ness. and beauty In the services. All
that could temper the heaviness of
earthly grief seemed, to our sOrrOwing,
Sympathetic thoughts, tn reign in the
home visited by the Angel of death and
eternal life. We feel assured, that there
is one comfort, the only consolation for
the loss of our beloved, to the widow and
fatherless. to the church deprived Of a
pastor and to the community, that one SO
dear to them has gone.
'where the Faded Flower shall Freshen,
Freshen never more to Fade;
Where the the shaded sky shall brighten,
Brighten never more to shade.
Where the morn shall wake in gladness,
And the noon the Joy prOlOng;
Where the day light dies in fragrance,
Mid the burst Of holy song.
Where no bond is ever sundered,
Partings, claspings. sob and moan,
Midnight waking, twilight weeping,
Heavy nOontide-all are DONE"

his Maker.

Magoffin will remain in the parsonage
with her wants supplied for the present.
The large interests of this growing

Ths traverse Reg,on.

Messrs II. r. Page & Co., we'll known
publishers, of Chicago, contemplate the
publication of work, which, if the
enterprise succeeds will be one OF rare
interest and value. They propose to
publish in a large and elegant bound
volumn, work entitled "The Traverse
Region Historical and Picturesque"
The work will be profusely embellished
with illustrations, printed on fine heavy
paper, gilt edge and bound in heavy
embossed covers. 1t is expected that
about year will be necessary to bring
out the work. Mr.. Geo. B. Pratt arrived
in Cheboygan this week and will have
his headquarters here for the present.
Men will be sent into various portions
of the territory to present the project to
leading citizens to see if sufficient en-
couragement is offered to warrant going
on with the work. Messrs III. r. Page e.
Co. have published several local histories
which in every instance have been very
popular. We have seen notices of local
newspapers, and also autograph letters
all of which are strong endorsements OF
the works mentioned, and of the pub
fishers. Such work as is proposed
would be specially valuable to ChebOy-
gan County, and should be literally en-
cOuraged. lt.

For The Tribune:

For The Tribune:
What is meant by "Shodyism." as ap-
piled to society people, and belongings ?
When people, who have been reared in
poverty and Obscurity, have suddenly by
some turn of the wheel of fortune, be-
come comparatively rich and indepen-
dent, begin to put on airs, and talk about
style in dress, and equippage, &C., &c.
all the time showing plainly, their
origin and ignorance, sensible people,
call them ''shoddy, is, trying to
appear what they are not.
Why is it, people are ashamed of
having learned lessons, in the school Of
adversity? If some, have been born and
reared in the lap of luxury and idleness,
and been kept at some popular school,
and learned to thrum on the piano, and
acquired the ease and confidence, con-
slant attendance in society" gives one,
are they thereby. superior, and to be
admired and envied, by others, who have
toiled faithfully, in the sphere allotted
to them?
1t is nice to have an easy manner, and
to know just when to speak, and how
much to say, and to be able to dress we'll,
and to be considered "the ton," and all
that. But of the two, if you cannot have
both, isn't it nicer, to know how to be
useful, and to be able to make and keep,
your house and family comfortable, and
to have the sense of Independence, the
consciousness of capacity, used and i'm
proved, gives one? Always, the man or
woman, who has the power and the will,
to act, and to accomplish. is the one, to
be envied and respected. 1t is not
poverty that makes one low, and inferior,
but cOarseness, boorishness and vul-
garity.
One can be lady, or gentleman, and
not understand all the ifs and ands Of
fashionable etiquette. An unpresumlng
and unassuming exterior, with an
evident desire to please, and do ones
duty, shows under all circumstances, the
true lady and gentleman, not but there
are certain customs, it is we'll to observe;
but the idea, that those who follow or have
learned some useful and remunerative
employment, are not as high up. and not
as worthy, as those, who have never done
anything, but play tho agreeable, is
absurd, and inconsistent, with our repub-
lican principles.
To work, to labor, to do something, and
to be selfsustaining, is wholly to your
credit, and meyer, do you so forget the
dignity of your calling, as to cast your
eyes down, abashed, before the ShOddy
Aristocracy
All the mincing and mouthing about
this and that "style," and the advantage
of being raised lin the city," and know
ing intimately. this or that, person, or
custom, as though it made one superior,
to country born and bred,' is species
of humbuggery, that merits, only our
supreme contempt, and indifference.
Those who have originated better
thoughts and modes who have invent
ed easier and better ways of labor, and
thus lightened the toll of thousands, are
the real Kings and Queens, to whom we
are willing to do homage. The mere
fact, of the adventitions circumstances OF
wealth, and your mot being obliged to
work." will never In our estimation.
entitle you, to any undue measure, OF
our reverence regard. TRULY,
