James Russell Lowell, whose death
more than one nation mourns, was Il
firm believer in Christianity. In Il re-
cent after dinner speech, he replied to
some skeptical toast-makers as follows:
II fear that when we indulge ourselves
III the amusement of going without a
religion, we are not perhaps WARE how
much W. are sustained at present by an
enormous mass all about us OF religious
feeling and religious convictions, so that
whatever it may be sale for us to think
for us who have had great advantages
and have been brought up in such IL way
that IL certain moral direction has
been given to our character-I
do not know what would be
come Of the less favored classes OF
mankind ii they undertook to play the
same game. The worst kind OF religion
is no religion at all, and these men living
in ease and luxury, INDUCING themselves
in the amusement OF going without re.
%ligion,' may be thankful they live in
lands where the Gospel they neglect has
tanned the beastllness and ferocity OF the
men who, but Tor Christianity, might
long ago have eaten their carcasses
like the South Sea Islanders, or cut of
their heads and tanned their hides like
the monsters OF the French Revolution
So long as these men are dependent
upon the religion which they discard fol
every privilege which they enjoy, they
may well hesitate a little before the,
seek to rob the Christian OF his hope and
humanity Of it's faith in that Savior who
alone has given to mar that hope OF lii,
eternal which makes life tolerable, ano
society possible, and robs death Of it,
terrors and the grave of it's gloom"

The following taken from the Dell
Rapids Times is Il temperance lesson
on which comment is unnecessary.
Mrs j. Lonsand two little children were
sent down to the country poor farm Fri
day, being in destitute circumstances.
Mrs. Longs husband, the horse trainer,
deserted his family and left the country
some time ago, since which time she and
the children have been obiectsof charity.
AS she is consunptive and in Il delicate
condition, the city authorities deemed it
best to send her to t! H"'.' IA II, Whore
she can be taken cal, i hr tter than here.
The poor woman naturally a.IureH COR
siderable grief at her departure owe" her
sad situation, and it aroused i the
hearts OF those present sincere sympathy
for her and indignation against the
worthless fellow she calls husband. Hers
is but one OF many cases showing the
Indebtedness resulting from slavery to
strong drink, and presents a stronger
argument than pen can against the drink
VII. 1t is just such cases as this that
make people prohibitionists. Long IS
said to be Il first class horseman, an ex-
pert trainer, capable OF making a good
living for his family, but he will not, or
cannot let liquor alone. During the
residence Of himself and family
here, he has made considerable money
but most OF 1T went for drink, which
caused him to lose Il good position with
G. p. Cunningham, and his wife and
children were neglected and abused. Now
he has left them to the cold mercies of
the poor farm. The Times is not given
to the advocacy Of extreme measures,
but nearly everybody with a feeling of
humanity will agree with it that Long
should be given a warm reception il he
ever returns to Dell Rapids.

A New Kind of Bell Toy.

Stamps, postmarks, coins and auto
graphs are common enough in the way
of "crazes," but boy with a passion
for bells is something of a novelty.
Johnny Martin is the Office boy of a
San Francisco firm, says the New
York San, and has great liking for
bells, and he never tires listening to
them. It is positive mania with him.
Some weeks ago he sent type written
letter on the letter head of
the firm to well-known bell manu-
factory in New York State, asking the
price of bells, particularly large
church bells, weighing from 10000 to
10000 pounds. In reply he received a
circular and price list, and polite let
ter earnestly soliciting his patronage.
He acknowledged the receipt, saying
that he thought their prices too nigh,
and he could do better in San Fran
cisco.
The bellmakers at once sent their
best salesman to California, with in
structions to secure the contract at
any price, and few days ago he walk
ed into the San Francisco house, and
courteously asked for Mr. John Martin.
No one knew him until the agent
showed the letters, and then the book
keeper said "That must be our
Johnny" It was. He was called in
and confessed. The agent was very
wroth, and demanded the instant dis
charge of the lad, but the firm said
mo" They said boy who could
write such good business letters was
the kind of a boy they wanted, and
they promoted him. He says that
when he gets rich he is going to build
a church, and hang in it the biggest
bell that this Eastern firm can cast.

to battle in a barnike structure, which
was as forlorn in aspect as those VINO

constructed of rough pine boards. For

These outlets issue from the west side of
Hot Springs Mountain from twenty-five
to seVenty-hve feet above the level of the
valley, and form q beautiful, clear
stream of water twenty or thirty feet in
width
A popularity in regard to the group
ing of these springs is the fact that all
flowing from the mountain ON the east
side of the creek, with one exception, are
hot, while the group flowing from the
valley on the west side and only a few
feet away are cold, with one exception.
This exception sends forth water which,
besides having other mineral qualities,
is highly impregna5ed with alum, and is
extremely efficaciOus in catarrhal trou-
bles and for sore eyes.
The only requisites to a course of bath
ing are pair of course heavy towels and
bath prescription, which is given the
patient after thorough examination of
the heart and lungs. 1t is considered
dangerous for persons afflicted in these
organs to use the waters for bathing
purposes. Plain and vapOr baths, most

The Age of Decay.

Birth, growth, maturity, decay,
death-such is the normal history of
man. The three periods af life should
sustain certain proportion to each
other: twenty years of growth, sixty
years of maturity, twenty years of de-
cay. This is what might be counted
upon as the ordinary course of human
life, but for the fact that we labor IN
der load of ancestral transgressions
of physical and moral law, supplement-
ed and intensified by our own personal.
delinquencies and follies.
How pleasant is the picture! Twenty
years of happy childhood and youth,
sixty years of intellectual progress and
achievement, with domestic and social
joys, and then twenty years of slow,
almost unconcioUs decay, characterized
by sN'nity of mind, pleasing memoir
les, and joyous anticipations of a great
er life beyond the grave.
Sadly different is human existence
as we see it. We look with wonder
upon Gladstone, past eighty, still Wig
orous in body and mind, still strong
and wise to Lead the great Liberal
party of England. We accept three
score and ten as life's natural limit, and
expect only labor and sorrow if this
limit is passed.
We are doomed, we think, by our in
heritance; and to some extent this is
true. But we should remember the
law of recuperation. The torn flesh
heals; the broken bone reunites
Diseases tend toward recovery. The
weary toiler rises from sleep strong for
new labors. The wise physician bases
his hopes upon this law.
And this tendency of Nature to heal
herself may be greatly assisted by
careful and intelligent living, so that
it is always possible that the man of
unfortunate ancestry may secure for
himself a good old age, and start his
posterity upon an ascending plane.
Do what we will, however. life must
have it's end. When the age of decay
is reached, hidden changes are going
on, the elimination of which is the last
great change. The muscles shrink;
the brain shrivels; the nerves lose
their sensibility and active power; the
arteries, perhaps, become chalky or
fatty; the heart is weakened; the cir
culation enfeebled; and at last the end
comes.
During this final period, then, we
must take things calmly; avoid ex
cesses of all kinds; guard against
exposures to cold; keep up degree OF
mental activity; cultivate cheerful
ness; and look forward with hope

WISCONSIN SOLONS.

TIE 22d being the last day for business
time. Among important business trans
acted was the passage of the Worlds Fair
bill which appropriates Sos, 000-this was
the amount agreed to by the committee of
conference and accepted by both houses;
the Kingston bill, which makes radical
changes in the Cooper election law, was
concurred in: the memorial to Congress
asking for election of United States Sena-
tors by the people was also concurred in.
Before the close of the noon session Speaker
Hogan and Chief Clerk Perth were pre-
sented with diamond studs. The Senate
concurred in bill compelling boom and
dam companies to pay to the State a ?
per cent. tax on their gross earnings. The
night session of the House. which lasted
until midnight, was the noisiest ever
known. One member threw pitcher of
water over other members, and then threw
a tumbler, which smashed on desk. Many
bills were passed hurriedly, and also a
memorial to Congress asking the removal
of distractions in the way of dams and
booms in the Upper Mississippi River. The
Senate concurred. This is a blow against
the Weyerhausers. Both houses finished all
business at 1890 at night, and afterward
held a mock session lasting until midnight
The record shows that the House has passed
33S and killed 476 measures. The Senate
passed ISL and killed 207 The remaining
three days of the session will be allowed
the Governor to sign bills.
