Idaho news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1887-1891, 1889-12-07

THE News trusts that it win hear
nothing more from ''the business men
of Boise" through the Statesman
about the removal OF the Insane Asy-
lum to Boise basin, or to Moscow, or
to Lewiston, north Idaho, 1t may be
understood as well now as ever that
the Asylum is at Blackfoot to stay.
II the Statesman and the business
men of Boise desire to resurrect the
question of removal of territorial
buildings long since quietly and peace
fully buried, and to begin their work
at Blackfoot IN favor of Boise and
north Idaho, we warn them in due
season that they viii bring upon them
selves fight for the capital location
that will cost them more work and
more anxiety than now appear in their
calculations. When Moscow was given
the University it established a sort of
equilibrium in the line of public build
ings: the University at the north, the
Capital in the centre and the Asylum
in the south, and everybody seemed
pleased. Now the Statesman and the
business men of Boise want to dis
turb the equilibrium and concentrate
the buildings at two points; in this
they will oite off more than they can
chew Again we say, we trust we
shall hear nothing more about re-
movals. We do not want the old ques.
ton re-opened. Let Moscow have the
University and become the Athens OF
Idaho, let Boise be the city from which
shall emenate the laws and let Black
foot alone in the peaceful enjoyment
of what is her own, and all will be
well. There is enough for us all tc
do in building up the Territory anG
advertising it advantages, and we car
do better work of this kind than we
can in nursing envious, jealous teel
ings one towards another.

The Unruly Member.
BY RACHEL DEAN.

"Well, here / am at home again after
a davis visiting," said Il young lady as
she laid aside her hat and gloves
"How did you enjoy yourself?" was
the inquiry made by a member OF the
family. I'm sorry to say not parll-
cularfy well'' was the detected reply. :,
"Why, what was the matter:
Were YOU not feeling wcll?" "Oh yes,
as we'll as usual, but everybody talked
too much, and although l left home
with the intention of being discreet in
nv speech (knowing my failing.) the
first thing | knew was led into say
ing many foolish, unnecessary things.
1t really provokes me to think about it
now, and have to look back upon an
otherwise agreeable day with keen re-
pret. only hope that some OF my re-
marks may not he repeated. If they
are. I'll be certain to lose the good Will
and friendship of several persons with
whom I've always been Oh the most
friendly terms. ..
"Then, besides, how can | ever face
them again with the same framknrsS,
when I've. been talking SO .glibiy OF
tEeir faults and mistakes behind then
backs? l don't care how common tins

'Ehe Test CT the leisure Thought.

When the Psalmist prayed that the
meditation of his heart might be ac
ccptable in the sight Of God. he hao
about reached the limit of consecra
,ion; he was ready to surrender the
last stronghold of self.
The chronological succession of tue
Psalms can not now be ascertalned,
but there is strong internal evidence
that this prayer came after the affair
# Urah the Hittitc. David had prob
ably not then learned to appreciate tho
dangers that threaten even good man
in his hours of ease. But Bath-she'
ha's presence in the royal house was a
daily reminder to him of that fatal
hour when, in leisure walk upon the
lh,use-tOp, he was surprised into sin
which siladowod his own life and put
into the mouths of Gods enemies d
tnunt th;t has served its evil purpose
from that day to this.
,,ut activity can not continue al
wuv:. There must needs be Intervals
of rest in our daily life; moments
" hen the mind turns in upon ltself, OF
.ccks recreation in realms OF fancy, OF
falls into musings upon the past or the
future. At such times the enemy oil
souls is unusually alert, and the world
and the flesh are apt to allure us with
fascination that ii is hardest to resist.
10 he strong, then-Io foreg0 the sen.
suous delights Of unrestrained reverie
is a severe test of Christian charac'
fer. The wonder Of Jobs constancy
:. that ne could sit down in enforced
inactivity for days, and years, perhaps
of suffering, and yet without SIN. But
n0ssibly it was Jobs boilS that saved
him after all. Hemighl have found il
harder 10 be patient if he had been
condemned TO sit there aid merely
hold his hands-physically capable o
enjoyment, and yet surrounded by tht
rum of all that Nigh have given him
pleasure.
This habit of holy contemplation
and communion is what the ascetics o
old SO often vainly sought by fast ant
vigil. The mistake they made was tt
magnify sacrifice at the expense OF ser
vice, not knowing that the HEAVIER
within develops only as heart anC
mind and hands are busted in creating
heaven around III. n word of cheel

more in this development than all th'
dramatic sutltrings Of st. Simeon OF

acceptable unto God"

The Little Word that was Lost.

lost very little word
Only the other day;
A very naughty little word
l had not meant to say.
If only IT were really lost,
should not mind 4 bit;
I think should deserve prize
For really losing it.
For if no one could ever find
Again that little word,
So that no more from any lips
Could 1t be ever heard,
I'm sure we all Of us should say
That II was something hnc
With such completeness TO have lost
That naughty word OF mine.
But then 1t wasn't really lost
When from my lips u new;
Nv little brother picked it up,
And now he says 1t. too.
Mamma said that the worst would DC
could not get 1t back;
But the worst Of 1t now seems TO me,
I'm always on its track.
Mamma is sad, papa looks gricvcd;
Johnny has said II twice;
or course, 1t is no use for me
TO tell him it's not nice.
When you lose other things, they're lost
But lose naughty word,
And for every time twas heard before
Now twenty times it's heard.
II II were only really lost,
Oh, then | should be glad!
] let IL fall so careleSsly
The day that got mad.
Lose other things, you never seem
TO come npon their track;
But lose naughty little word,
It's always coming back.

"NYho in the world is kh0i you're
speaking toe" said one young lady to
her companion of the sans sex and
age It's they walked down one of the
avenues The other day.
"Thal lnan? He is the man that
mends my shoes when they need 1t,
was the reply. r.,
"Well," said the first speaker, II
wouldn't speak TO Hi"1; don't think
it's nice"
And why not!m queried the other.
ale is Il kind, faithful, honest, hard
working man. l. never pass his WIN
dow but see him Oh his bench work
ing away, and when l bow to him ana
give him 'Good-nlorning' he looks as
pleased as can be. Why shouldn't L
speak to him"
IL never speak to that class Of peo-
pie" said the other; "thcy're not my
kind" :,
II do,n was the rejoinder. II speak
TO every body l know-from Dr;;
Brown, our minister, to the colored
man who blacks our stoves and shakes
our carpets-and I notice that the
humber the one in the social scale to
whom [ protfer kindly words, the
more greattul is the recognition re-
cciye in return. Christ died for them
rs much as He died for me, and per-
hans if some of them had had the oppor'
tunities my birth and reariug have CIV
cu me they would be a great deal Dettel
than |. That cobbler is really quite
an intelligent man. I've lent him
books to read, and he likes quite q
high style Of reading, too.
The two girls were cousins, and they
finally agreed to leave the question as
to recognizing day laborers, mechan-
les, and tradesmen to q young lawyer
of whom they had a high opinion.
So the first time the three were to-
re,hcr one Of the girls asked him:
"If you met Myers, the, grocer, on
Broadway, would you speak to nm -
"Why, yes, certainly; why 90 you
ask ?'
"And would you speak to the man
who cobbles your shoes"
"Certainly, why not"' -,
"And the janitor of the building
where you have your otlice?'
"Of course"
"And the boy that runs the eleVa-
tor?"
"Certaiuly." ..
us there any body you know that
you don't speak to"
"Well, yes ; l don't speak to Jones,
who chealed a poor widow out or her
house ; or to Brown, who grlnds down ,,a
his EN- ployees and gives them starVa1
ton wages; or to Smith, whom /
know to he in private any thing but
the saint he seems to be in public. i
speak to every honest man l know
whom chance to meet. Why 90 you
ask =" :,
because we simply want to know" "
replied the young lady who had taken
her friend to task for speaking to a
cobblcr. In fact, she was ashamed to
tell him that he was referee i'll the dis
cussion on this point held day or two
before. ,
1t is the privilege of nobility to be
gentle and courteous to all. kindly

her who speaks them.

The InspiratiOn of Cheer.

Half the battle of life consists in
keeping up a cheerful spirit. When
deDression comes and the clouds, when
the spirit is loaled with deadenlng
pain, all work becomes a drudgery,
and life is a burden and difficulty.
Whatever is done is carried on under
compulsion, with wish that it could
be avoided, and Il feeling OF pleasure
if so mournful kind OF congratula-
ton can be called pleasure-that II is
at last completed. And even lfIpe-
cause there is will-power enough TO
drive it along and favorable clrcum,
stances to make it successful-it Will
afford but little satisfaction, for the
spirit will be loaded with forebodlngs
and the mind be full of the prophecies
of coming evil. If any good work be
we'll done, it must be amid buoyancy
and hope. With this experience, nc
matter how hard the task may be OF
how unpromising, there will be ener,
gy given to it, and that facility of skill
and tact that, unless the hindrances
are invincible, will carry it through
to a good end. Our religious work
very often lags and fails, not because
| we are not in earnest III lt-perhaps
we expend unnecessary labor on 1t,
but because it is done under a CLOUD
Hope is wanting. There is no enthu
siasm, no spring and eager onlooklng
and vision of Inevitable accomplish
ment. But if the heart is bright, II
will be able to go cheerful'y through
an experience, and also bear It's disap'
pointments, rejoice in lis tri5ulatlons
and not only believe, but know, thai
God makes all things work together
for good to those who love Him. 1t is
not possible, not for all of us, all the
time. Moods are many, and we are
liable to fall into dull ones betlmes
but it ought to be part of our Chris,
tiau effort to drive away the clouds II
possible and turn to the beautiful and
inspiring light.

A Nnu in the Ditch.

About eighteen years ago, three min
listers were walking on country ROAD q
little north of Aberdeen. 1t was late
at night, and they had been attending
a meeting in the country. AS they
went along, they noticed country
man in a state of intoXication scramo'
ling on all fours out of ditch.
One of the ministers said," L must
90 and speak to that man."
The two tried to dssuade him, tell
ing him it was Of no use, and ne
would get nothing but abuse. :,
But the minister said, "The Spirit
of God bids NE, and | must speak to
him."
By this time the man had got out OF
the ditch. The minister began to
speak to him, whereupon the fellow
! took Off his coat, and wanted to fight
him.
The minister said, ~ can fight, but
not with your weap ions !" and getting
down on his knees, he began to pray
very earnestly for the uan. AS he
pleaded, God touched the mans heart
and he got down OH his knees beside
the minister. By the time the minis
ter had finished the prayer, the drunk,
ard was ready to be spoken with and
he was pointed to sinforgiving Saw
| iour.
They stopped at the first cottage on
the road, and asked the people if they
could lodge the man for the night
After looking at him, the man said,
"Why, we have just been holding a
prayer-meeting for that very man.
He is my brother. We have had a
special prayer-meeting tonight to ask
| God for his salvation"
Five years afterwards the minister
was gladdeued by knowing that the
man was still standing living witness
to the power of God, and was being
used as a great blessing to others.

From Wall Street Today.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8, II a.m.-There was
quiet opening of the stock market this morn
ing, but decided activity was soon developed
in the coal stocks. Northern Pacifics, Louisville
and some Of the grangers by which the total
dealings was run up to a high figure for the
hour. London prices were quite irregular, but
first prices here were generally small, fractions
higher than last evenings quotations, while
Northern Pacific preferred was exceptional
with gain of "a per cent. The weakness Of
yesterday seemed to have entirely disappeared
and marked advances were scored in the early
trading. Northern Pacific preferred rose TX
per cent further to ~ and the common per
cent to SO, but the most important movements
were in the coalers, Lackawanna taking the
lead. and after opening up Is at 147s@ it stead
lily and rapidly rose to $50, net grain of Ok
per cent Delaware and Hudson rose IL to
to 1885, Jersey Central, ~ to 11sH, and Rock
Island, after opening down u rose l u to 1881
The improvement in the rest of the list was
generally from 4 to u per cent; Missouri Pa
ciic, Burlington, Reading and a few others
being specially prominent. There was some
weakness in San Francisco and it declined a
fraction, but late in the hour Manitoba rose TX
to 1921 and, though there was . slight recess
sion from the best prices among the leading
active stocks, the market at IL o'clock was still
active and strong ct about the highest prices
reached.
