Miss, or Madam, somebody, an itin-
Grant evangelist, who has been gather
ing into the fold some old and hayward
sheep, found strayed in the Hurricane
woods, has accepted an invitation to
visit Potosi, the current week. The old
sinners of the mines are scrawny set,
scarcely worth the trouble of looking
up. Some of them have lost their wool.
and are too tough for mutton. Perhaps
the tallow and pelts viii pay the fair
shepherdess.
Our pulpit in the Congregational
church is still vacant. A good, Chris
tian minister, who is not over anxious
about high salary and desires to ben
eft his kind, could find paleasant home
in Potosi, just now. There is a new
parsonage with garden and COW pasture
attached. No unworthy persons need

ment mail-carrier, and takes his APP
pointed place in the sanctuary Nearly
two generations of children have learned
to love and honor him. Many young
man and woman now gone from our
midst, look back with pride and pleas
ure 10 the Sunday School teachings of

can any man give to the world than a
life devoted to the moral and religious
culture of the young.

Sunday evening there was an .'ethe-
rial mildness'' in the air which made
our young people think it was spring,
and many were promenading the side
walks inviting her gentle caresses. As
group of two young ladies was leis-
urcly sauntering up town, they espied
mooley cow gravely observing them.
"She is going to hook they screamed,
and quickly retreated beyond the dan
ger line, not noticing, in their terror,
the old COW was innocent of horns and
meant no harm. Moral-Never run
from a moody COW and accuse her of

''Adam," whose brilliant corrusca-
tons illuminate neighboring heb
domadal, is still housing about in
churches and halls after crumbs for his
weakly jokes. His comments on our
Home Entertainment were not relished
by our people. The boys and girls has
lily improviscd little fun for them
selves, and with the commendable OBJ

concluded to give public exhibition.
If adam" paid his money for the pur-
pose of criticising and exposing the de-
fects and shortcomings of his village

stage?
