ISOLATION it proposes to take away. You
know there are millions of people who get
their chief consolation from this book.
What would you think of crusade of this
sort? Suppose n man should resolve that
lie would organize a conspiracy to destroy
all the medicines from all the apothecarics
and from all the hospitals of the earth.
The work is done. The medicines are
taken. and they are thrown into the river
or the lake. or the sea.

presidents of the United States have per-
mitted polyxamy in Utah, you are not,
therefore, to conclude that they patronized
1t, that they approved it. when, on the
contrary, they denounced II. All Of Gods
ancient Israel knew that the God Of the
Bible was against polygamy, for in tho
four hundred and thirty years of their
stay in Egypt there is only one case of
polygamy recorded-only one. All the
mighty men of the Bible stood aloof from
/ polygany except those who, falling into
the crime, we're chast,sed within an inch
of their lives Adam. Aaron, Noah Jo-
/ seph, Joshua, Samuel, monoaamists But
you say, "Ddnt David and Solomon favor
4 polyEamy" Yes; and did they not get
well punished for it,
7 Read the lives of those two men and
you will come to the conclusion that all
the attributes of Gods nature were against
their behavior. David suffered for his
crimes in the cavcrnS OF Adulam and Mas
sadn. in the wilderness of Mahanaim, in
the bereUvem"ntS of X!klau The Bedouins
after him, sickness after him, Absalom af-
ter him, Ahithopcl after him, Adoniah af-
ter him, the E1omitrs after him, the Sy-
riaus after him, the Noabites after him,
death after him, the Lord God Almighty
after him. The poorest peasant in all the
empire married to the plaiuest Jewess was
happier than the king in his marital mis-
behavior. How did solomon get along
with polyaamy? Read his warnings in
Proverbs; read his self disgust IN Ecclesl-
aste%. He throws up his hands in loath-
ing and cries out, VANITY Of vanties, all
is vanity" His seven hundred wives
nearly pestered the life out Of him. Solo
ONION got well paid for his crmes-well
paid.
repeat that all the mighty men of the
scriptures were aloGt from polygany, save
IA they were pounded ana Hailed ana cut
to pieces for their insult to holy marriage

TIE GLORY OF CHltlsrlAN WOMANHOOD.
Another false charge which iufldelity has
made against the Bible is that it is antagO-
nistic to woman, that 1t enioiia her degra-
dation and be.ittles her mission. Under
this impression many women have been
overcome of this plague Of inhdelity. l.

A CALL FOR THE WITNESSES.

Ii the Bible is so autagonstic TO woman,
how do you account for the difference in
woman's condition in China and Central
Africa, and her condition in England and
America? There IL no difference except
that which the Bible makes. In lands
where there is no Bible she is htched like
a beast Of burden to the plows, she carries
the hOd, she submits to Understandable in
dignities. She must he kept in private
apartment, and if She come forth she must
be carefully hooded and religiously yelled
as though it were a shame to be woman
Do you not know that the very first
thing the Bible does when it comes
into new country is TO strike of
the shackleS of woman's serfdom' O
woman, where are your chains today
Hold up both your arms and let us see
your handouts Oh, We see the handouts.
They are bracelets of gold bestowed by
husbandly or fatherly or brotherly or sis,
terly or loverly affection. Unloosen the
warm robe from your neck, o woman,
and let us see the yoke of your bondage.
Oh, ! find the yoke a carcenet of silver, or
string of c@rnelians, ora cluster of pearls,
that must gall you very much. How bad
you must all have il.
Since you put the Bible on your stand in
the sitting room, has the Bible been o you,
o woman, curse or a blessings Why is
it that woman when she is troubled will
go 10 her worst enemy. the BibleY Why

first mishap that has attended the blast
ing, and fortunately little harm was
done. Heavy timbers were put over the
ditch before the blasts were fired, but
this stone got through them somehow.
The blasting on the ditch for the water
pipe between the stores of Bond Bros.
and Mr.. Wales has been finished. The
main across the creek to supply the north
side of the village with water has been
laid. 1t is of eight-inch wrought-steel
pipe and it is placed from one to three
feet below the bed of the creek. 1t con-
meets on the south side nearly in front of
the bakery with the main running down
Mill street past this office. On the north
side it connects with the main going up
to Merchants Row between the town
hall and the Baptist church. a large
amount of pipe has been laid the past
week, the amount of help obtainable
considered. 1t is hoped that more hands
can be secured when haying is over. The
present point of interest is the bed
of the creek Just above the Main street
bridge, where men are engaged in blast
ing for the intake pipe. This will be of
steel. 1t will have its upper end at the
intake on the creek bank on DR.. Mellen's
land and will come down the bed of the
creek and through the canal under Mr..
Marshall's store to the pumping station.
The $4,000 of 30-year village water
bonds have been sold to the Peoples
Trust Co. of st. Adams for 90 cents on
the dollar. They yield SOS, 500, or S1200
less than their face value; and the pur-
chaser gets tri1e less than four-and-a-
quarter per cent on the money he has
in them. The sale was not made until
after the fullest investigation of the Bos-
ton, New York and other bond markets.
Ninety-SiX cents was the best offer that
could be had and the Peoples Trust Co..
who are firm believers in Vermont in
vestments were the only ones who
would give that. 1t should be remem-
bcred that there has been a decided
change in the money market since last
August, when the bonds were author
lied. Only large cities are now able
to float at par bonds bearing a lower
rate of interest than four and a quar-
ter to four and a half per cent. More
over, bonds of villages are not legal
investments for the Massachusetts say
ings banks, the laws of that State limit
ing the holdings of these institutions to
the bonds of "towns" and 'cities. -
which are independent corporations,
while villages are not. The village of
ST. Adams could get but 9S for its four
per cent bonds. a year ago the tow n
bonds of Bristol in aid of the railroad
$4,000 to run - years at four per cent
were sold for SO. The sale of the Mid
dlebury bonds was made on Friday by
Chairman Wilds of the board of trustees
and Cashier Pinney, and enough of the
purchase money has been paid over to
meet the first payment on the water.
