Rest Island is in Lake Pepin, or the
Mississippi river, which is the same
thing, sixty miles below Minneapolis
on the Minnesota side. One hundred
and sixty acres of woods just as
the Indians left it, and very beautiful
| for situation. Lake Pepin is Mime
sota's finest sheet of water, having
the Mississippi river flowing through
its entire length. In addition to the
island, I have secured on the main
land some two hundred acres Of farm
and meadow land. On this fine tract
we have established a national mis-
sion, where any drinking man, who
wants to go in for clean life, may
come and be at home until he shall be
strong and able to make an honorable
way in the world.
In the winter, when outdoor work
is impossible, we shall have schools of
bookkeeping, stenography and the
common branches. There will be no
excitement, no games of chance, no
tobacco; but the great future will be
the bible study. [ have no mission to
the incorrigible, but only to those who
want to be clean. There will be sensi-
BILE, practical evangelistic work every
day in the year, with systematic in
struction every morning in the bible.
AS fast as men grow strong we will
try to secure suitable positions for
them. If one fails we will gladly re-
ceive him back if we believe him hon
est in his desire to be clean.
By the mercy of God that has kept
you out of the bondage Of drink and
spared your home the pain and shame
Of drunkenness, I solicit your aid to
the National Mission at Rest Island.
In the name of Christ,
JOHN G. WooLLEY.

The person who screams, or uses
the superlative degree, Or converses
with heat, puts whole drawing rooms
to fight. If you wish to be loved, love
measure. You must have genius Or
prodigious usefulness if you will hide
the want of measure. This percep
ton comes in to polish and perfect
the part of the social instrument. So
ciety will pardon much to genius and
special gifts; but, being in it's nature
a convention, it loves what is conven-
tional, or what belongs to coming to-
gether. That makes the good and
bad of manners; namely, what helps
or hinders fellowship. For fashion is
not good sense absolute, but relative;
not good sense private, but good
sense entertaining company It hates
corners and sharp points Of charaet-
er; hates quarrelsome, egotistical,
solitary, and gloomy people; hates
whatever can interfere with total
blending Of parties; whilst all partic-
ularties as in the highest degree re-
freshing which can consist with good
fellowship. And, besides the general
infusion Of wit to heighten civility,
the direct splendor of intellectual
power is ever welcome in fine society,
as the costliest addition to it's rule and
it's credit.-Emerson.
