cent Health Congress and Exhibit
at Hastings, England, expressed
the opinion of the wonderful sani-
itary effect of bathing in tepid wa

fact that frequent bathing in warm
water is compulsory.

Childhood.

Childhood is summer bloom
That ever well may grow,
And send its sweetest, best perfume
When zephyrs of innocence blow;
But when the wind OF knowledge bowls,
And passion tempest mournful growls,
Its petals fall, the blast has shorn
The plant of all the dew of morn.
When mighty life hath bid adieu
To joyous vernal years,
o, see how full it doth Undue
The mind with higher fears!
And thus the souls hard battle comes
OF seeking lore, and crushing wrongs;
And thus the fight of life shall last,
Till life in death has calmly passed.
When childhood's gone, it is the last
OF earthly joys so purely pure.
All! fare thee well, thou beanteous past 7!
To note thy fight we loath endure.
And, while within advancing years,
We mark the change from calm to fears.
o, let us look to God to save,
And leave lost childhood in the grave.

Rev. B. F. Alexander, presiding
elder, and Rev. J. l. Hoffpauir were
in town Friday, looking after the
building of new Methodist church
in Colfax. They report nearly
$500 already in good subscriptions,
with a fair prospect of more. The
presiding elder is doing rushing
business on his last round, holding
as many as four quarterly confer
ences in a week. He seems to be
extra spry now that he has a good

A Business-Like Suggestion Evolved BY
Though tfuI Young Man.
In this period of financial depres-
sion, it is expedient for society to COM
bine business with their pleasures, to
mingle with their expensive gayeties
schemes to assist indirectly in paying
for them. There are many ways in
which this can be done. For example
an invitation to party might be made
to read somewhat after the following
pattern:
"Mr. and Mrs. Handmedown present
their compliments to Mr.. Adolphus
Smalltalk. and request the pleasure of
MIR. Smalltalk's company on Thursday
evening. Mr.. Handmedown desires to
call Mr.. Smalltalk's attention to the
fact that Handmedown & Blk have on
hand first-class assortment of gents
furnishing goods of the latest spring
styles.
IN. B.-Our prices are as low as the
lowest.
"P. S.-Positively no credit"
Or Mrs. Swelling, wife of the distin-
guished livery stable proprietor,
might thus devise her invitations to
an afternoon tea:
"Mrs. Swelling will be happy to see
Miss Giddychippy on Friday afternoon
at five o'clock. Get your carriage at
Swellrig's. He is the boss"
These suggestions will be readily
appreciated by some of our four hun
dredest society families. Chicago
