Ilsink u Moment.

Think o moment. Will you be led to
say: "The good old ways are good
enough for me, F" and so drop into the
swollen ranks of teacherdom, or rattle
awhile on martyrized piano, and then
set up for musician, though you have
not a particle Of music in throat or
tinger-tip? Or will you stay ut home
and let papa support you until you
grow tired of doing nothing and ex-
pecting nothing. and proceed to marry
some man whom you endure rather
than love, just to get decently out of
your dilemma?
Nay, I do you injustice. Few girls
who breathe the free air of our western
prairies will be SO cowardly. I may
not construct your horoscope, but this
much 1 will venture-that when you
marry, no matter what you find, you
will seek not name, behind them, to
cover up the insignifcance Of your own T;
not "good provider," to feed and
clothe one who has learned how to feed
and clothe herself; not natural pro-
tector, to shield you in his plaidie, the
laddie, from the cauld, cauld blast; but
you will seek (and may heaven grant
that you shall find) that rarest, choicest,
est, most elusive prize of mans exist
ence, as of woman's: one which
mournfully I say 1.-THE modern mar
riage is by no means certain to involve,
namely, mate.-Francis E. Willard.

The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1886-02-13

The great economist of the Admins
trati0n is Miss Cleveland. Perhaps
she has been the means of saving the
country many hundreds of thousands
of dollars. 1t is owing greatly to her
talent as q mistress of q household
that the ancient scheme has been
abandoned of building q new White
House and turning the present one
into executive offices. Though the
Executive Mansion docs not combine
all the elegances, it possesses most of
the c0nveniences and comforts needed
in the abode Of the President, and at
the same time the business Office Of the
Executive. Our President, under its
present aspect, thinks it is all that is
needed, that it combines with the
proper amount of luxury most of the
comforts of more splendid establish
ment. This comes, in part ut least,
from the commOnsense arrangements
by Miss Cleveland, who has displayed
the happy knack Of making the veneer
able establishment to do its best. Not
for long time has the White House
been as inviting and comfortable az
now. It is an agreeable private house
az well as . public Office. And it has
not cost much, either, to complete the
transformations which has produced an
amount Of comfort, not to say elegance,
which many supposed the venerable
Mansion was not capable Of affording.
The fact is, the old White House is on
its legs again, 30 to speak, and the
project for q new one has receded. An
addition to the old establishment, for
which there is q plan, one house of
Congress having once voted the money,
is far more probable than the grand
affair which would make q certain
property extremely valuable couple
of miles away. And all by the touch
Of q woman's hand.-Ex.

"oUT OF THE HURLY-BURhY.'

In the "whirligig of time Mr..
Gladstone again becomes Prime
Minister of England. Thus, in
spite Of the harsh criticism against
his ''temporizing policy" the old
mans administration has received
magnificent endorsement from
his people. Something akin to his
position is that at present occupied
by Mr.. Cleveland, we imagine.
After the politicians have howled
themselves hoarse over. the Presi-
dents systematic mel hods." the
people will quietly but irmly sane
ton his every act. Being but
mortal Mr.. Cleveland v N of course
occasionally make nj stakes, but
the people, looking thf Tough them
at his honest endeavo3s to be con-
sistent and right, vii accept the
will for the deed, and his course
will be heartily an p earnestly
endorsed.

On last Monday one of the most
extensive riots occurred in London
that has been Witnessed in that
city for years. Fully fifty thou
sand working men engaged in the
disorderly demonstration, which
lasted six hours, during which time
more than two hundred shops and
stores were rified of their contents,
and a large number of fine build
ings had every window and nearly
all the furniture in them broken
to pieces The police were power
less to preserve order. A most
remarkable feature of the riot is
that nobody was killed, although
several persons were badly bruised
in the melee. Quiet settled over
the city on the approach of night,
and at dark it looked as if there
was to be- an end to further vio-
lence. The next day, however, the
demonstrations were renewed, but
the rioters were dispersed without
loss of life.

Mr.. Edmunds has a bill to put
the Mormons in chancery. 1t pro-
poses that the act of the Legisla-
ture of the State of Deseret, under
which the church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints was incor-
porated, shall be repealed and
annulled, and that the temporal
affairs shall be managed by board
of trustees, to be appointed by the
President of the United States, by
and with the consent of the Senate,
and that they shall close up the
institution as rapidly as possible
under the direction of the secretary
of the Interior. The Attorney
General is directed to institute and
prosecute proceedings to forfeit
and escheat to the United States
all of the property owned by the
Mormon church with the excep-
ton of the buildings used for pub
lie worship, and the Secretary of
the Interior is directed to sell it,
and invest the proceeds for the
benefit of the public schools
The laws organizing and Great
ing the perpetual Emigrant Fund
Company are also annulled, and
the Attorney General is directed
to dissolve the corporation, to pay
its debts, to dispose of its prop
erty. and to devote the proceeds to
the benefit of the schools The
Legislature is forbidden to create
any company or association for the
purpose of bringing emigrants into
the Territory. This bill, if passed,
will do more to suppress Mormon
ism, it is believed, than any other
means that can be adopted, as the
church is known to be q very
wealthy corporation. The money
causes very close adhesion among
the Saints. Elk.

One of the most notable after
dinner speeches of Minister Lowell
in England has just been publish
ed. It was called out by some
allusion to the Christian religion,
made in q tone of general skeptic-
ism not uncommon among literary
men both in this country and in
England. He said:
IL fear that when we indulge our
selves in the amusement of going
without a religion, we are not, perhaps,
present by an enormous mass all about
us of religious feeling and religious
convictions, 60 that, whatever it may
be safe for us to think, for rs who have
had great advantages, and have been
brought up In such way that q certain
moral direction has been given to our
character, I do not know what would
become of the less favored classes Of
mankind if they undertook to play
the same game,
"Whatever defect and imperfections
may attach to few points Of the doc
trinal system of Calvin-the bulk If
which Is simply what all Christians
believe-it will be found that Calvin
ism, or any other ism which claims an
open Bible and proclaims cruciied
and risen Christ, is infinitely prefera-
BILE to any form of polite and polished
skepticism, which gathers a. its vota-
ries the degenerate sons of heroic an
cestors, who, having been trained in q
society and educated in schools the
foundation of which were Laid by men
of faith and piety, now turn and kick
down the ladder by which they have
climbed up, and persuade men to live
without God and leave them to die
without hope.
1.-THE worst kind of religion is no
religion at all, and these men, living
in ease and luxury, indulging them
selves in the amusement of going with
ont religion may be thankful that
they live In lands where the gospel
they neglect has tanned the beastliness
aud ferocity of the men who, but for
Christianity, might long ago have
eaten their carcasses, like the South
Sea lslanders, or cut of their heads
and tanned their hides, like the m0n-
sters of the French Revolution.
"Wheu the microscopic search of
skepticism, which has hunted the heav-
ems aud sounded the seas to disprove
the existence Of a Creator. has turned
it's attention to human society, and has
found place in this planet where =
decent man can live in decency, COM

The great latter day evangelists,
Moody and Sankey, commenced q

Some of our State exchanges
think it is a joke when we advise
the planting of certain vegetables
in the latter days of January or
early in February. They forget
that some vegetables are very
hardy and only the severest cold
win hurt them. In fact, they grow
and do well ordinarily through the
whole winter.
