WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 2.
Hon. William Window. ex. Rep
rese utative, ex-senator and Secre-
tary of the Treasury, was in appa-
ren,ly good health when he left

To the Memory of Prof j. !. Nelson.

/, The faculty of the North Mis-
sonri State Normal school, would,
if they could, give fitting expies.
sion to their high appreciation of
the beautiful and exemplary char
acter of their late friend aud CO.
laborer, Prof. j. |. Nelson, who
has for five years held the chair Of
Mathematics and Astronomy in
the Normal school of the First
District.
We would bow in submission to
this dispensatlon of Providence,
in calling to his eternal rest this
patient, earnest and beloved work
err, SO full of labors and cherished
plans for the extension and up
building of his chosen profession
and the efficiency and influence Of
the school with which he was con-
nected. 1t must be the wisdom of
God that he is taken, though in
explicable and inexpressibly sad
| to us.
We delight to bear testimony to
his faithful service; his cheerful
encouragement to students and
teachers; friend and companion,
and his manly and noble bearing
on all questions of right and duty.
| He loved the beautiful and the
good. Astronomy was to him a
beloved science-the stars his
fsvorite study.
The tirts of flowers or the glow
of an autumn sunset touched his
poetic soul as with the magic
wand of enchantment. Yet back
of this was the strong man, famil-
lar with the PHILOSOPHERS of books,
trained to the responsibilities of
every day practical life, and pos
sessed of that logical acumen,
which fitted him SO we'll for the
responsibilities of a Mathematical
teacher.
| If there ever was a man fit to be
carried out amid the acclamations
of a grateful community, that man
was Prof. Nelson. Dear and gen.
erous soul! His life must be, to
those who cherish his memory, a
perpetual protest against whatever
| is low and sordid in private and
public object. 1t stands as a
memorial of personal honor that
never brooked stain; OF knightly
valor without a thought of self; of
heroic constancy from which no
cloud of selfshness could ever hide
the path of duty.
| We extend heartfelt sympa-
thy to his bereaved wife and
daughter, and beg to assure them
that we shall hold him in grateful
memory, as a friend and brother
whose place cannot be filled. We
cannot feel that he is dead, but
rather that he has been translated
and,is to-day resting under the
shade of the trees-the beautiful
palms of Paradise.
''oh you
Earth's tender and impassoned few
Take courage to entrust your love
To Him SO named-who guards above,
Its ends and shall fulfill
Breaking the narrow prayers that may
Beft our narrow hearts, away
In His broad. loving will"

to follow his life and listen to his teachings, as l
have they might perhaps have learned what the term
Christian means.
Can Won make me believe that any true disciple OF
Christ could voice such insulting sentiments as our
daily papers have refreshed with as coming from
ecors Of Christian churches? Most emphatically no !
They have done more 10 hurt the cause OF the Prot
estant Episcopal Church than our so-called hereto
