We are in receipt of the following from
one of our subscribers, who is spending a
few weeks in Chicago.
Fox LAKE, July %, 1890.
Three weeks ago DULY , | left Broad
street station, Philadelphia, at 1920 +.
NJ, after taking my seat in a beautiful car
of the limited express, on which, II neces-
sary, passengers are waited on by porter
ana maid. and every surrounding is caleu-
| lated 10 make Il traveller feel at home, al
though going almost at lightning speed.
We passed many pretty Residences along
the Pennsy lvania road. Supper WAS an
nounced as We were entering AL
| toona, and we, of course, went 10 the din
| ing car, where We found everything first
class to partake of, after which we felt
| very much refreshed. We went into the
| observation car as We passed CressOn, a
beautiful summer resort, and had a beauti-
full view of Horseshoe Bend-a turn of
the road around the Allegheny noun
tains. Two engines were attached to the
train, one at each end, and in going around
| the bend We could see both engines, and
| also had a fine view of mountain and val
ley scenery. We pass out Of Pennsylva-
| pia through Ohio and Indiana into Illinois.
All along the line we saw farmers har-
vesting wheat and cutting large quantities
! OF grass lot nay, put III lillnols tnC wheat
was more backward than in other States.
We arrived at Chicago July Cd, at 9.45
A. NJ, where my son. Morris, met me at
the depot. We wen to a hotel, dined,
took a walk TO the Board of Trade build
| ing, and at 3 P. M. started on the Wiscon-
| sin Contra railroad for Lake Vile, and
| from there took a carriage ride of five
| miles to Fox Lake. Fox Lake is in Lake
| county, and there are 81 lakes in the Ii
ty. These lakes have on their shores many
beautiful cottages, which are summer res
licences for people from Chicago. The
lakes answer the same as Atlantic City
does Tor Eastern people. There is good
fishing, rowing and sailing on these lakes,
| and large and small steamers ply on several
| of them to carry passengers to the land
ing, where "busses'' take them to differ
ent trains. Most of the farmers are Ger
mans, and many of them take boarders,
as there are not enough hotels and cot
tages to accommodate the people. The
nearest railroad to these lakes is five miles.
! The road has been built only three years
| and it is astonishing TO sec the improve
! ment that has been made in so short a
time.

High hopes that burned like stars sublime.
Go down the heavens of freedom,
And true hearts perish IN the time
We bitterliest need them.
But never sit we down ana say,
There's nothing left but sorrow;
We walk the wilderness to-day,
The promised land tomorrow
Our birds of song are silent now,
There are no flowers blooming
But life beats in the frozen bough,
And freedoms spring is coming;
And freedom 5 tide comes up AWAY,
Though we may strand in sorrow:
And our good barque, aground to-day,
Shall float again to morrow.

With smiling failures glisten;

And yet the tide heaves onward.
We climb. like carols. grave by grave,
Yet beat It pathway sunward.
We're beaten back In many a fray.
Yet newer strength we borrow.
And where our vanguard rests to-day
Our rear shall rest tomorrow.
Through MI the long dark night of years.
The peoples cry assembled;
The earth was wet with blood and tears,
Ere their meek sufrerings ended.
The few shall not forever sway.
The many toll in sorrow;
The bars of hell are strong to.day,
But Christ shall reign tomorrow.
Then youth flame earnest, still aspire
With energies immortal;
TO many a haven of desire

And though age wearies by the way
And hearts break in the furrow.
We sowed the golden grain to-day
The harvest comes tomorrow.

The public schools are not Goodies" in
which these truths are taught, The whole
curriculum palpitates with divinity. Cath
olics have excelied Protcatants in teaching

cspts of a pure life. ireland has the most
y%irtuous p~easantry in the world, eanfessedly
as the outcome of early education. Before
their first communion boys and girls are
specifically taught the duty and the reason
ableness of personal purity.
From the point Of view of science, they
should thus be taught in our schools. This
cannot be done in The direct manner that
we teach them to let alcoholic drinks and
tobacco alone, but by aboIishing the recess
and using that time for physical training
according TO the systems OF Dcisarte and
other masters; circulating the White Cross
pledge and literature Ito be had of the w.

in reference TO a life of personal purity.
Fewer pupils should be assigned to each

the basis of al education.

insignia of impurity upon the walls; and
not to accept debasing literature upon the

that they may help the teacher to guard

We quite agree with our esteemed con-
temporary the Daily STATE Gazette, Tren-
ton, that General Fisk, as a temperance
Republican, could have been a tremendous
power in this State and throughout the
nation, - as indeed lie trds a tremendous
power in this State and throughout the
nation as a Prohibitionist. That General
Fisk did not accomplish any tangible and
practical results which show themselves on
thu statue books Of the State or nation by
his reforming work for temperance" rs
alleged by the Gazette, if true, was not the
fault of Fisk or his friends, fwhO did all
that was possible in that directionJ, but
because of the unreasonable and unreason-
ing opposition of the sa-callcd temperance
Republicans of this State, who had it in
their pows to accomplish that very re-
suit.
That they failed to do it was because
they did not love temperance reform less,
but loved the Republican party more.
Had the party which made the supremacy
ridiculous pretence of being the only trne
temperance party of the country, supported
General Fisk as it would have supported
him as a rum candidate ON the Republican
ticket, there wouid havc been no trouble
about ''the reforming work for temper
ance, and the statue books Of the com
monwealth would have been loaded Down
miff. ann Httopf{tp of tHppsBraI pn npapr-
ments. But they didn't so elect, and
chose rather that the political Barahbas
of the Democratic party be released unto
them, and the errpcifixion Of Fisk and the
Prohibition party.
But we arc not so sure, after all, that
General Fisk would have been more CON
spicuously a tremendous power i'll the
true temperance party" than in tho Pro
hibition party. In fact, we very greatly
question it, since it is now no longer a ten
tatiye affair. We are not sure, either, bnt
that Fisk, as an earnest protestant against
the cowardly and trucuient policy of his
old party on the temperance question. did
vastly more for the cause of humanity, at
home and abroad, outside the party lines,
han he could possibly have done within
them. Fisk, with his enlightened con-
science and strong convictions on this
line, unqnestionably prepared the public
mind for the reception of prohibition
truths in a way he could not nave done as
a Temperance Republican.

If. however. as a temperance Republi-
can he ''could have been a tremendous
power in the State and throughout the
nation what comes of the like hypoth-
esis concerning the scores of dismounted
temperance guns within the Republican
camp We see hut very little evidence of
their tremendous power" Brewer
| Kreuger was a bigger man at the Chicago
convention, shat nominated Harrison, than
was Warner Miller, and While Ex-Governor
Foraker goes bowling up and down the
State of Ohio without a vocation, Vice
President NJ orton merrily jingles the VINE
deeanters Qhroueh 4 proxy at the Shore
ham hotel, Washington City. Then what's
the matter, too, with Griffin, and Crosby,
and Bradley, and Buckley, trnc temper
sncc Republicans, +" every one of them, in
everything except the tremendous power
feature.
The only tremendous power object
lesson we now recall is that of Presiding
Elder Ballard, wko, by the grace oil Baby
McKee's grandpap, is made postmaster ut
Ocean Grove. Bnt then some af the
wicked Republicans themselves say that
this is lone more in the interest of the Re
publican party OF the State than of the
temperance party, but who believes it?
IF, however, there should Toe, as 1t is DOS
s!blc there may, other tremendous pow
err Temperance Republican timber
a1oat throughout the STATE or nation. We
advise them TO drop a line to Bro. Ballard,
Ocean Grove, y. J.. ar the editor Of the
STATE Gazette, Trenton, and ascertain the
heneeness OF the " hcnceness concerning it.

One Of the most amusing cases Of alb

on certain famous professor of one Of
the northern colleges. He was one day
in book store, deeply absorblA in find

customers, and as the professor started
to leave he stopped to shake hands with

his hand to sweet faced lady near the

from "The History of Delaware County

seems, disguised as Indians. They were

artificial Indians, for Jay is not above

It would seem that during the sum-
mer of this year these Indian outlaws
showed the first "act of hostility on the
