these she flung at the men. Not n wuri
was spoken. The woman leaned on tho
0 p and looked up at the stars, that
seemed to speak back to her. The two
men. hiding in the shadow of a yellow
bluff, put off their strange, striped gar
ments for the clothes the ferry woman
had given them. As they came forth
she turned and pointed the way off into
the forest. One of the men crcpt close
to the woman, leaning on the ferry rope
and looking at her curiously, whispered:
''Why did you do it?" With a little
smOthered cry in her throat she said:

long. You'se jist rs welcome as eff you

The shapes sped off into the wood and
the woman on her knees in the shadow
of the yellow bluff rolled the cast off gar
rents into a huge bundle and made as
if she would bury them in the sand. She
thought better of it, however, and step
ping into her ferry pulled it out into the
middle of the stream Leaning over the
edge of the raft she tossed the bundle far
out into the water. For a little while it
bobbed along on the wave made by the
ferry, looking like the bloated carcass of
a drowned hog or calf, and then s~tealthily
the strange waters sucked it down. The
ferry woman looked up at the stars,
sighed, and grasping the rope pulled her
ferry back to shore.

gun and looking down on the Bonded

COMPLAINING.

What an immense amount OF trouble
people can bring upon themselves by
crossing the bridge before they get to
1t. Half of our troubles In this world
are but Imaginary. Take persons in
business as examples. They find the
tide turning against them. In spite
of all efforts to build themselves up
and accumulate they find the tide run
ming the other way. They at once per-
chance think the fault must be In the
mean, underhanded workings of a
competing neighbor, and as an act of
retaliation they begin to play the same
game. Feeling guilty, they exaggerate
every action of friend and foe until
they become like Ishmael, with their
hand against every man and every
mans hand against them. A miser-
able life is the result. why not keep
a sweet, happy disposition, instead of
sour, discontented one? Make those
around you happy. Have smile
when you meet them, and eneourag-
ing words instead of a perpetual growl.
If any persons in this community are
gloomy and morose through business
cares, and hate everyone and every
thing, let them try the experiment OF
feigning the opposite feeling and see
what the result will be.-West Side.

ANSWER TO sKFPrIc.

What right has ''Skeptic" or anyone
else to question the goodness of God
when He is crowding His mercies and
blessings on them, both temporal and
spiritual, every day. The man who
cannot look up and see the goodness
of God every day is like the hog that
eats acorna under the tree. First-God
as q creator and benefactor, certainly
had .ght to require test of love
and obedience; He would neither be
kind, good or lust without it. Second
1t is presumption to say that man
had not the ability to resist the temp
tation, for herein lies the accountable
ity; an migrate father is one who re
quires an impossibility or makes an
unreasonable demand. God set life
and death before them; the one prom
ised on condition of love and obedi-
ence, the other the result of sin and
disobedience. ]. r. K.

FRIDAY, SEPT. q, 1883.
oUR PUBLIC ScHooE.

Prof. Hunt informs US that our pub
lie school has about the same number
OF pupils in attendance this year as
last, and the school has now settled
down to good work. We predict that
this viii be successful and beneficial
school year. Prof. Hunt is an able
and eflicient teacher, and Miss Griggs
Is q splendid assistant. They viii do
their part well.
The public school of neighborhood
should be a measure of its prosperity.
Wherever you find good school you
will flnd prosperous and happy COM
munity. In order to have . good
school It is not only necessary to have
good teachers, but also that they should
be sustained by, and should have the
hearty cooperation of not only the
trustees, but the patrons of the school.
There is no person from whose labors
are derived such a diversity of benefits
as the teacher. His good influence, if
he possesses the requisite qualifications
of teacher, is felt in every home in
the district.
Every person, with or without fam
ily or business, should be interested
IN the education of the youth. If we
wish our town and vicinity to prosper,
let US keep up good school; and to DO
this it is necessary that the parents in
the district see that every person of
school age attend school regularly and
punctually; and to assist the teachers
by encouraging the pupils to adhere
closely 10 the regulations of the school.
A little more interest and attention
given 70 the progress of our public
schools by all parents, and better
idea of educational necessity ineulcated
in the minds of the youth, would pro
dnce wonderful results.

REJoINDER ON sPIR1rUALIssr.

ED. ExPREss:-Your last issue con-
tains an article signed "Fair Play y
who attempted reply to some ques-
tions of mine and also some structures
on spiritualism. The article in ques-
tion, however, is nothing but fiat de-
nial, and displays no force but temper.
If he viii read DR.. Henry Shades 'De-
fence of Spiritualism, he win find on
page SO of said book an open avowal
of freeloveism, and entirely ignores
the marriage relation.
In December, 1888, Mr. Henry Sey-
bert left by will a large sum of money
to the State University of Pennsylva-
MIA to establish chair of philosophy,
and made it on condition that COM
mission of scientific men be appointed
to investigate ''modern spiritualism. -
This commission spent nearly all of
the year 1884 in their Investigations,
and ''Fair Play" can procure copy by
writing to said university. We make
the following extracts from said re-
port:
"It has no foundation on facts; its pretended
revelations are all in the dark-or in hidden
state"
"It is a delusicn detrimental to morals and vir-
tue and subversive Of those principles that
underiy the purity Of society"
DIR. Slade, Mrs. Patterson and DIR.
Furson were paid $500 each to come
before said commission and exhibit
their revelations, and this was the re-
suit. Now we challenge "Fair Play
to make, or produce any medium that
can make, in open daylight on top OF
table in open view, written or oral
communication from the spirits.
Only God, who is the only being
above nature, can perform supernat-
ural act, that is, an act above natural
law. Spirits are created beings. and
as part of nature are subject to nat
ural law, and can do no supernatural
act involving creative power. Chris
tianity is evidenced by its influence on
society, its divine character is proved
by its fruits. Spiritualism is supremely
disproved by its evil effects on society,
by its want of candor, and by its want
of open daylight above-table revela-
tion. More anon. F. NJ. P.
