In scarlet hose the school girl goes
To the school-house under the hill;
Old women meet, with shutting feet
And winged voices shrill;
And whip in hand the farmers stand
Around the throbbing mill.
The river cresps, the meadow sleeps,
Embossed with cart and plough;
Huge hives of gold the harvest holdi
The weeds forget to grow;
Unfenced and strong, tireless throng,
The prairie breezes blow.
Well scenes like these the heart may please,
But dearer far to me
The rocking shore, the pillows roar,
The foam-iowers of the sea,
And furroughed plain, that yields no grain
But deathiess melody.

number of braves with whistles, who beat time
to the music they made-very mournful music
it was. They had been going on turning and
playing the whistles and beating time for
forty eight hours, and without morsel of food.
On the second day the party saw one man

this contingency frequently arose in his occupa-
ton nothing was thought of the announcement
until the next day, when, he not having returned,
inquiries were instituted, but trace of his
whereabouts could be found. Five days later he
was found in distant Western city, over 1000
miles from home, about to take train which
would carry him still farther towards the Pacific

course of typhoid fever from which he recovered

failure to be on hand, he started in pursuit of
her. He stopped at various hotels and restaur-
ants, boarded and left trains, always with g
definite purpose. frequently he came to his
senses and knew that he was far from home and
travelling under delusion, but before he could
fully recover himself the hallucination was strong

BALTIMORE, June 2l.-Rev. George Morrison,

from Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. AS it has
reference to Mr.. Beecher's sermons on evolu-

''BRooKLYN. N. Y, June 49, 1885
Dear Sir-I thank you for your friendly soic
itude. l am sure that in the end you will not be
disappointed, though on some points you may
not agree with me. The foundation doctrines, as
hold them are personal God, creator and
ruler over all things; the human family univer
sally SINFUL the need and possibility, and facts
of conversion; the divine agency in such work;
Jesus Christ the manifestation of God in human
conditions; His Office in redemption supreme.
l do not believe in the Calvinistic form of
stating the atonement l do not believe in the
l do not hold that Christ's work WAS to satisfy
the law broken by Adam for all his posterity.
The race was not lost, but has been ascending
steadily from creation. l am in hearty accord
with revvals and revival preaching, with the
educating forces OF the church. and in sympathy
with all ministers who, in their several ways,
seek to build up men into the image of Jesus
Christ, by whose faithfulness, generosity and
love | hope to be saved and brought home to
heaven.
My sermons as published in the daily pa
pers, am not responsible for. They are frag-
ments and often utterly incorrect. They will
be revised and corrected by me before published
with authorization and in the autumn will
appear in book form. | am truly yours,

Some years ago family named Metcalf lived
on the West Side. A change in business caused
the Metcalfs to move to Madison. short time

kee they adopted little girl and legally had her
name changed to Metcalf Her previous name
was Petite. In time she grew TO be very
beautiful young woman. She was extremely
popular Everybody knew Pet Metcalf. All the
young beaus of those days paid her attention.
She was devout member of the Spring street
Methodist Church, and at the time the congre-
CATION worshiped in Ogdens Hall, in Fourth
street, Miss Metcalf was its organist. position
she filled most satisfactorily. Later she became
the organist of another prominent church on the
West Side just as she was poisoning into
womanhood she wss married to a young gentle
man named Adrian Webster. Webster was
smart weeonnected man, and in course Of
time became cashier or teller of the old Bank of
Madison, which failed some years ago. Upon
the failure of the bank Webster and his little
family came back to Milwaukee and lived there
until three or four years ago. Webster entered
the employ of Samuel 5IcCord, the well-known
broker, and for several years was his book keeper
and general Office man.
Soon after returning to Milwaukee, it became
noised about that there skeleton in the
Webster family and before great while there
was separation, and Mrs. Webster disappeared
from view. Her husband broke up housekeep-
ing, and with his son began boarding in Fourth
street, near Sycamore Then story leaked out
that the wife had become confirmed drunkard.
Everything possible was done by the husband
and his relatives to save her. but to no purpose.
After Mrs. Webster disappeared nothing more
was heard from her until about two years ago.
One night at midnight she drove up to the
boarding house of her husband and son,
on Fourth street, and wanted them to
DO something for her. She was partly
drunk, her clothes were soiied, and
she presented a very bad appearance. She said
that she had just got out of prison, and wanted
to reform The husband had just lost his posi-
ton. and was unable to do much for her, but he
did all he could and home was prepared on the
West Side, where she lived for a short time Then
she quit it and left the city. No trace could be
found of her. The husband went to st. Paul,
where he is now holding good position in one
of the banks. The son is grown up and little

former friends had made up their minds that she
was dead, so when she reappeared in tho city a
