Emerson, Sumner, Phillips, Garrison, Mrs

bright eager gray blue eyes and firm, tender
lips, sitting quietly in some corner listening

A Pretty Girls Eyes.

Although nonsense may be common in
ultra fashionable circles, it is nevertheless
often unique. At a recent reception one fair
maiden remained persistently seated while
the other girls walked about a great deal and
struck pretty poses while in conversation
with the gentlemen. Somebody asked why
this attractive creature remained in her
chair.
Because she doesn't feel like standing"
was the reply.
'Oh, then she is lame.n
'No, no. She has upward eyes,
And what are theyr'
"Why, she has discovered that her eyes
are exceedingly handsome when wide open
and looked down into. but when the observer
is on level with them they are not half 50
charming. 1t seems to be popularity of
her orbs- So she sits down all the while
when on exhibition, so that the fellows as
they stand before her in conversation must
gaze down into her face, and in so doing en-
counter her eyes at their best. New York

gregation present. the church being we'll
filed. Rev. W. S. Marquis, moderator
OF the Rock River Presbytery, presided.
Rev. j. M. Linn, of Geneseo, preached
the sermon from Numbers, xv;37 The
preacher in the course of his sermon set
forth in clear and forcble terms the dis
tinctive features, of the Presbyterian
church, laying particular stress upon its
adherence to apostolic simplicity in form
of worship, the piety of the clergy and its
only form Of government. He reviewed
the history Of Prssbytenanism, and
showed that 1t had ever insisted upon "A
thoroughly educated ministry, unswervs
ing adherence to the pure word of God,
liberality in promoting the cause of
Christ at home and abroad, and at the
same time the preservation of the spirit

attracted from his present important
field by other 'gates" swinging upon

him. He charged the new pastor to be

Following Mr.. Johnston came the Rev.
J. B. Little. of Daven port, who delivered
a most effective charge to the people,
He demonstrated that no success could
reasonably be hoped for them as IA church
so long as they failed to cooperate with
their pastor. He charged them to receive
with meekness the preached word
to sympathizc with their minister
ia all his efforts to advance their spiritual
interests, to guard well his reputation
and faithfully redeem the promises they
had made to him, not only with regard to
his temporal support, but also as to that
encouragement and cooperation upon
which tho success of his work largely de
pended. Mr.. Marquis then declared the
pastoral relationship censummated and
the exercises were brought to II close by
the benedction by the pastor, Rev. A
B. Medium.
The congregation then descended to the
lecture room where social reunion was
held, cake and coffee being served by the
ladies of the church.
