WHY NOT A DAY In THE wooDs2

"The groves were Gods first temples" They
are still his best TEMPLES, We often think.
Our churches with their pertentious por-
tails, sensuous music, tinsel and show, while
appealing directly to the worshippers ear
and eye, speak only of mans pride, his am
bition and the frailty of his work.
Not SO the groves. Dear reader,
ours, do the trees ever talk to
you. They do to us. Their lifting limbs
and bowling tops, all foliage burthened, in
deep solemn symphonies tell our soul Of
mighty masters hand and love. How, too,
the lightly stirring winds breathe of sweet,
strange and incomprehensible things. Their
rustling leaves, in ten thousand soft caden-
ces, whisper mysteriously of the glories and
hsrmonies inexpressable Of the far-off be-
yond. Anon, in presence Of an approach
ing storm, in what flowing measures do the
old woods sigh and murmur in dread of the
dark winter to come and its death; and how
the leaves, quivering and glistening be-
meath the bright stars of the eternal canopy
above, swell forth living hymn that sings
only of Immortality. Have you never heard
nor felt, then go to the woods, and, forget
ting the world and forgetting yourself, listen,
and you may hear sounds that are an echo
of THAT Voice." which cried in the wilder
ness to the strange forerunner who in the
waters of the Jordan baptized unto repent
ance. The groves were Gods first temple,
'His FIAT laid the corner stone
And heaved the pillars one by one"
and, there his voice can be heard BY such OF
his children as know how to listen. A camp
meeting will be in progress to-day at Hays
grove and during the week, and over next
Sabbath. 1t is beautiful place and q
pleasant drive there. There is something
strange in the spirit of these grove meetings.
You may not be able to hear word the
preacher SAYS or catch syllable of the
hymns that are sung, but there is n spell
about them, IN influence that is not felt be-
meath the vaulted roof The worship of the
directness, with a simplicity and "a truthful
ness which no church or cathedral affords
however grand or however solemnly dedica-
ted. 1t is the spirit and the voices of which
we spoke above, spirit that has come down
through the ages from our primntive pa
rents, from the worshippers on the Mount,
from the "Druids of eld'' and from that
faith which 'saw God in the clouds and
heard him in the winds"

State Fish Commissioner Gle arrived last
night with several tanks of game fish to be
deposited in the waters of the Little Arkan-
sas. The total number of hsh, we believe,
was 10000, but owing to the hot weather
and unavoidable delays in the Transports
tion, about 1900 of tho fish were dead.
Mr.. Gle reported at once to the Wichita
Fish Club, and under the direction Of w.
B. Hutchison, secretary of the club, the
commissioner deposited the hsh in the Little
River close, to Mr.. Woodman's place.
Mr.. Gle says that when the
weather is more propitiOus he
will put more fish in the Little river, and to
the full extent of the appropriation allowed
BY the legislature. The commissioners
efforts are laudable, but there is NO earthly
nse in attempting to stock the streams Of the
state SO long as the present law is in force,
practically putting premium upon fsh
piracy. The varieties brought by Mr.. Gle
consists of wAll-eyed pike, croppie, white
perch, ETC., in all consisting of ten varitiss.
The fish average fully three inches in length
and are not minnows, but capable Of taking
care of themselves against all other enemies
except the fool with net.

In a short time he found himself confined to

The perfection of the Brewers art has
been reached in the production of the
"Pilsener Beer"-it is of the most beauti-
full amber color, as clear as crystal; little
beads rise through the liquid as If it were
champagne, and its foam is like whipped
cream. Upon emptying a glass, it's ap-
pearance is fully borne out by its taste 1t
Is delicate, with smart smack of hops and
malt, and leaves lingering flavor on the
tongue. One of its best qualities is its
lightness, causing no headache, even if
used to excess. 1t is fully equal to, if not
superior, to any of the Eastern or foreign
brands in the market. 1t is highly re-
commended for family use, and all orders
will be promptly executed by
