Infdelity.

As a moral philosopher Josh was
opposed to infdelity. Here are few
of his mild comments on the subject !:
Did you ever hear Of mans
renouncing Christianity On his death
bed and turning infdel?
Neither gamblers nor freethinkers
have faith enough in their professions
to teach it to their children.
No atheist, with all his boasted
bravery, has ever yet dared to adver-
tise his unbelief on his tombstone.
A man may learn infdelity from
books and from his associates, but be
can't learn it from his mother nor the
works of God that surround him.
The infdel, in his impudence, will
ask you to prove that the food did
occur, when the poor idiot himself
can't even prove, to save his life, what
makes one apple sweet and one sour,
or tell why a hens egg is white and a
ducks egg is blue

A. D. Tenant Aged Eighty Years.

Among the social events which
transpired the past week was the
birthday party given by Mr.. and Mrs.
S. A. Spaford Friday evening in hon.
or of Mr.. A. d. Tenant being his
eightieth birthday. A large number
Of his most intimate friends-young
and old were invited to assist in
making his eightieth birthday one
long to be remembered. Mr.. Tenant
moved among the guests enjoying
social conversation with each one
present. He was gay, full of fun.
and moved about not tas though eighty
years of age, but as though he was
yet in the prime of manhood.
Mr.. Tenant may not thank us for
wishing him another eighty years lease
of life, nevertheless we do, with a
fervent hope that they may be attend
ed with happiness, temperance, charity
love, long suffering, kindness. etc.,
such as the past eighty years have
been. Eighty years of life in this
world is something very few enjoy,
and yet a great many might enjoy that
lease of life, if they lived in accor-
dance with the laws of health and the
better impulses of their nature. Eighty
years of active service is capable of
accomplishing much. The only neces-
sary essential to crown such an life
with success is right beginning. We
may differ, but we do not believe that
the life which is successful in accumu-
lating the largest fortune is the most
successful life, but the person who
accomplshes the most good, and blesses
humanity, leaves the world better for
having lived in it, ought to be preferred.
We have reason to believe that Mr..
Tenant looks back over his past life
with great satisfaction. A large fami-
ly of children administer to his every
want and take pleasure in serving him
during his declining years.
A few of Mr.. Tenants friends from
the second ward presented him with a
patent rocker easy chair as token of
their esteem and love which was kindly
received in the same spirit in which it
was given.
This party was among the most
pleasant ones held this winter and
Grandpa Tenant was thereby made
exceedingly happy as we'll as the
entire gathering in attendance. Re-
freshments were served in Mrs Spaf-
ford's usual style and elegance consist
ing of several courses.

r. P. Bronson's Farm Ledger.

Messrs. Scott Morrill, and Dewitt
Bronson, state agents for bronson
Farm Ledger and Business Forms
called at this Office and left copy OF
the above book for examination. We
noticed on the front page the follow
ing introduction: 'In presenting the
Farm Ledger to agriculturists, We feel
confident that the system will be ap-
proved and appreciated; it is concise,
thorough and practical.
A correct account, showing the
profits and losses contributes largely to
the success of the farm, as we'll as any
other business. In this work a separ-
ate account is kept of every farm
product, showing the gain or loss, and
which is the most profitable crop, as
well as what branch Of the business;
stock, grain or dairy pays the best.
The memoranda with each account
answers for day book. The breeding
account, while not essential, will be
useful as record in after years. An
inventory Of real~and personal proper
ty, and a summing up or recapitula-
ton of accounts, showing the total
amount received from farm produce OF
all kinds, the cost of producing the
same, amount due. and unpaid amount
of Indebtedness of the farmer, general
expenditures, amount received from
other sources and balance on hand, is
made January list each year
The work is so arranged that a
record can be kept of each years bus
mess for four years The owner will
derive a greater satisfaction in keeping
the accounts, and as a guide and
record it will grow more valuable to
him. with each succeeding year. The
great difficulty in modern farming is
that the farmer does net keep posted
as to the details of his own business,
the receipts and expenditures, the
expense account for his farm, the
amount of wages paid out each year,
and the rate, the cost of maintaining
his family, and the thousand and one
items that are necessary to be known
and referred to from time to time in
order to make farming pay. The farm
ledger supplies this need, as glance
at its contents will show.
This book is valuable work for
farmers and we hope the agents may
leave many in this vicinity.

The Necedah Republican speaks as
follows of Rev. Rowland's sermons in
that city a week ago. Sunday:
'Last Sunday Rev. John Rowland
preached two sermons at the Cong'l
church, and for which he secured
close attention of the large congregat-
ions on both occasions. His sermons
here have caused the entire society to
become enthusiastic in their praise,
and the favorable impression formed
at the time of the district convention
has been fully sustained by his visit.
His preaching shows IA depth of power
ful thought and scholarly research, and
is thoroughly imbued with the warm,
sympathetic spirit of the true christian
gospel. His delivery is pleasing. en-
ergetic, often very eloquent, and
somehow possesses the power to cause
the careless and inattentive listener to
become eager to listen to the gospel S
golden truths. His evening discourse,
"Cleave to That Which is Good" for
a practical theme, was piece.
His sermons are delivered without the
aid of notes or manuscript. At the
close of the morning service, hearty,
unanimous call of the society and con-
gregation was extended him, and has
been accepted. He expects to begin
work here sometime next month, but
his family will not come until May.
The society have placed the pastor S
salary for the coming year at 5000 and
the parsonage The salary to be paid
quarterly, and at the beginning of each
quarter The society will receive no
aid from the Fl. M. s. this year, and
has therefore become self sustaining

The liquor warfare in Kansas doesn't
seem to be drifting in favor of saloon

from an exchange testifes:

He has notified the city officials of
Levenworth that if they do not close
up the saloons in that municipality
within SO hours, he will bring quo aca'-

A. B. Breasted received telegram
Sunday the 7th inst. announcing the
death of his brother Col. S. L. Brast,
ed, Of Fond du Lac, that morning at
s o'clock, of consumption. He had
been failing slowly since his visit to
this city last May. It will be remem-
bered that he delivered the oration on
decoration day at the Opera Rink,
under the auspices of the g. A r.
1t was highly spoken of by all in at
tendance. None of those present on
that occasion thought for a moment
that the speaker, then in comparatively
good health, would in less than a year
be numbered among those who have
gone beyond the grave. He leaves a
wife and daughter to mourn his sad
departure. Mr.. A. B. Brasted, wife
and son Fred, left Monday afternoon
for Fond du Lac to be present at the
funeral ceremonies.
