Little Chance That They VIII Bring Any
Romantic Return to Three Maidens.

Little Chance That They VIII Bring Any
Romantic Return to Three Maidens
From the Boston Herald.
Mr.. George r.. Farrell is in q pleasant state
OF anticipation just at present for he is locking
forward to visit from three young and charm
ing girls. Mr.. Farrell is in charge of the boat
house on West Boston bridge, at the foot of
Cambridge street, where he has been established
for dozen or more years.
A few mornings ago, while moving from his
raft rubbish brought along by the tide, he saw
bottle bobbinS up and down. He had seen
many bottles there before and this one would
not have excited his attention had he not after
several pokes at it noticed what appeared to
him to be something that gli.tered like gold.
Although mindful of the fact that ..all that gilt
tiers Is not gold he nevertheless stopped
and picked the bottle from its wet bed in the
Charles river, and found it to be common
pickle bottle. There were no pickles in it, how
ever; instead there were several cards, a piece
Of paper, and some pretty colored bows. This
he could discern without very careful exami-
nation. Returning to his boathouse, treasure
in hand, and with not a little feeling of curios-
lty, he removed the cork and then The contents
The first thing he pulled out proved to be q
white card with the following inscription, writ
ten it red ink. adelaide C. Sterling, IS years,
months IL days; eyes light blue" Just below
the writing was small bow of light blue silk,
attached to which was q lock of golden hair
bordering on the red. Over this sample"
was piece of isinglass sewed to the card.
He pulled out another card, prepared like
the first, and bearing the name: "Phillis E.
Dutton, aged IS years, Z months; light blue
eyes" lock of light brown hair was caught
by bow of dark blue silk.
The next thing extracted from the bottle was
a card of the sane size, nicely encased in ISM
glass. 1t bore the following name: '.Miss
Marguerite NJ. Moulton, 19 yeaiHs, month, 1 day,
Boston Mass" On the upper left hand corner
of the card were the following lines cut from a
newspaper, and attached b. thread:
BE quick TO praise. lie slow TO scorn.
For what the future holds who knows!
Today the vine has but a thorn
Tomorrow brings the rose.

DEATH OF MRS. EDWARD PRICE.

We regret to announce the death Of
Mrs. Edward Price, who has for the
past three years, resided at st. Paul.
The cause Of death was brought
about by injuries inflicted two weeks
ago by falling on the sidewalk.
The deceased was born in Wales,
in the year 1S49, and when a
young girl came to this country, and
made Mankato her home. She was
married at Blue Earth City about %
years ago, and leaves three children.
The deceased is a sister of Mr. w.
E. Edwards, foreman of the Fibre
Works, and also Of the late Mrs. Day-
id Dockins. She was member Of
the Methodist church, and all who
knew her, declare she was woman
of great powers, and in her death a
bright and shining light has gone cut.
The remains nwere brought TO Man
kato Saturday morning, and at 1880
o'clock, Rev. T. II. Rule accompanied
the mourners TO the cemetery at
Minneopa, and read the burial service.
We can but say Of her that she rests
from her labors, and her good works
remain TO tell the story of her life.

COMMUNICATED.



Editor Free Press:
Your weekly issue credits the Presj-
dent of the Mankato Christian En-
deavor Union with the following re-
marks at convention recently held
in this city:
''The days have gone by when a
church should exist as a depository
for religious relics. whose efficiency for
healing is past A sin sick. soul can
never be cured by the touch of theo-
Ogicaldogmaa any more than by decay
ed piece Of the true cross or the hol-
low tooth Of c2n0niZed saint. Mod
ern science teaches that life only can
beget life. and il is only live issues in
the hands OF living Christians, inspir-
ing living Lord which can touch souls
into life
When fiippancy viii pass for argu-
ment and vulgarlty is identified court
eousness, the above quotation may
pass for a Theological dogma" |
hold in too high regard the religious
instincts of the young people who lis
tened TO this IngerSollIan twaddle TO
believe that they could approve, much
Gus and unchristian like.
To me and the thousands Of my
fell0w-citizens OF this city, who glory
in the Cross Of Christ Crucified" such
pueTile pratings appear irreverent, if
not blasphemouS. Who has informed
Mr.. Hughes that the pieces of the
true cross as preserved in the most
ancient basilicas of Christendom are
'sdecayed, - or that the teeth Of canon
lied saints are necessarily 'hollow:"
Could not this new theological light
be satisfied with the sacriligiouS sim
lie regarding the incense and altar,
which have ever been associated with
religion. without defiling with unhal-
lowed touch the blood stained wood of
the cross and disparaging the memo
ries of those whose lives were moulded
by the teachings and example of Him
who died upon it:
How different the sentiments of the
Apostle Of the gentiles, "God forbid
that I should glory. save in the cross
of Jesus Christ and of him crucifiedi"
It is not the alleluiahs OF Easter nor
the glorious anthems Of the ascension
that are best calculated to heal the
dirge of the f'AIiserere" reminding the
sinner of his deplorable state, whilst
promising him pardon through the
merits of Good Fridays victim: for
not by the resurrection Of Christ, but
by His death was the penalty paid for
sin. We should therefore revere and
respect the Gross, got because OF the
preciousness Of the wood but for the
relationship with our Redeemer, and
saints relics are worthy OF honor mas
much as they are the members of
those whose souls have been sanctIfied
by Gods grace and love. These words
Of Wendell Phillips should be borne
in mind: We seem TO imagine
that whether knowledge viii die with
us or not, it certainly began with US.
We have a tender pity for the narrow
ness, fgnorence and darkness Of the
bv gone ages. We seem to ourselves
to not only monopollZe but to have
begun the era of light In other
words we are too fond Of taking of
our hats when we speak Of ourselves. /"

Of railroad side tracks and yards. As

in the new side tracks. the extension
OF the yards, the additions to the
