TIE WORK OF THE HUsBANDMAN.
Encouragement the Bible Gives to the
TiIIers of tho soil.

encouragement the Bible Gives to tho
TilIers of tho Soil.
Tn these DAYS when so many Of our
Young men are leavi the farm for the
allurements Of city NE, It might be
proatable to turn to the Bible to see
what encouragement may be found In
n for the husbandr an and his work.
After the creation OF the earth we are
told There was not a man to till the
ground" (Gen. 2: b. so Adam was form
ed and placed in the garden OF Eden
TO dress 1t, and to keep 1t" Gen. 2: 16,
thus dignifying the occupation by Gods
own establishment 4 It. And after
Adams woful sin had brought a curse
upon the ground as we'll as upon man
kind. and Eden's gat s were closed be-
hind him. Gods command still was to
It'll the ground froi whence he was
taken" Gen. 3: ss). And after the flood
had wrought It's deN lstation, lest the
husbandman might be discouraged by
the fear OF s>like catastrophe. our God
graclously displayed his bow in the
heavens to seal his promise that while
the earth remaineth ''seedtime and har-
vest shall not cease" Gen. 8: 22).
While Bible precepts offer every en-
couragement to the faithful husband
man, he Is warned against Incidence
and incited to diligence by such pas
sages as The sluggard Will not plow
by reason of the cold, therefore shall he
beg In harvest ard have nothing
prov. 90 y: He that observeth the
wind shall not SOW and he that regard
eth the clouds shall not reap" I'm the
morning SOW thy seed and in the even
ing withhold not thy hand, for thou
knowest not whether shall prosper eth
er this or that, or whether both shall
be alike good" (Eccl IL: 4, 81; He which
soweth sparingly shall reap also spar
ingly, and he which soweth bountifully
shall reap also bountifully" QI. Cor. g:
6); HE that tilleth his land shall have
plenty OF bread but he that
maketh haste to be rich shall not be in
nocent" prov. Is: 1920; They shall
not plant and another eat they
shall not labor in vain" Qsa. 65 1928.
Not only does God call and encourage
the husbandman, but he promises guild
ance. Doth the plowman plow all day
to SOW? Doth he open and break the
clods of his ground? When he hath
made plain the face thereof, doth he
not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter
the cummin and cast in the principal
wheat and the appointed barley and the
rye in their place? For his God doth
instruct him to discretion and doth
teach him" Qsa. 2s: 24-26). To obtain
the divine blessing on his work the
husbandman must be faithful to his
Lord. The land is mine" Uev. 25: 23).
saith the Lord. But IF ye walk in my
statutes and keep my commandments
and do them. then 1 will give you rain
in due season, and the land shall yield
her increase and the trees of the field
shall yield their fruit. And your
threshing shall reach unto the vintage.
and the vintage shall reach unto the
sowing time and we shall eat your
bread to the full and dwell In your land
safely."-Mrs. A. H. Borden. in Ameri-
can Agriculturist. =.

GOLD NEAR SUNBURY.
Justice Emanuel Wilverf Has Found II on
Thomas Lyons Farm.

A large deposit of auriferous sand
and rock, containing gold and silver,
has been discovered by Emanuel
Wilvert, of this place, on the lands of
Thomas J. Lyons, about three miles
north east Of Sunbury. The discov-
cry was made at the head of a canyon
or gulch at an altitude of four hun
dred feet above the level of the river.
The canyon is full of dykes and at
the top of the hill where the find was
made is regular upheaval or erup-
ton covering from ten to twenty
acres full Of anetamorphic matter,
and red and black sand. The place
has been partly opened and about
ten feet below the surface a regular
vein was discovered which is liken-
ing to tree that has been crushed
between massive rocks. On the west
and east sides there are veins of
syenitic rock. The top rock over the
vein appears like hanging wall of a
sort of granite with gold disseminated
through it. Mr.. Wilvert had several
essays made by the Penn Smelling
and Refining Works, at Philadelphia,
who reported from $5 to $I4.ao gold
and from So to $s in silver taken
from the surface. He has lately gone
down some six feet, and two different
essays made by Messrs. Ricketts, &
Banks, of New York City. They re-
ported to him from 5000 to $ao.67
gold and a small quantity OF silver.
At the opening there is cone like
formation to look as though it had
been melted into regular mass,
running in an east and west course.
Mr.. Wilvert has lease on the lands
and is preparing to make a general
opening He says he expects thus to
open several fissures that are in tight
and is satisfied that there is large
quantity of silver ore below the gold
strata from the indications of the
dykes in the canyon, as every one
shows indications of silver further
down He has sent some of the ores
to a smelter to have a further test
made.-Smbuty DAILY.

The Fiowering Raspberry.

Those who have been along the rocky
banks Of the Hudson in summer time
must have noticed the abundance Of
what appeared at little distance to be
small purplish roses. Upon closer In

have turned out to be those OF the flow

feet high. The leaves are not COM

berry, but are large, simple and lobed.
All the young growth, as well as the
flower, flower stalks and unexpanded
flowers, are covered by numerous hairs

makes the plant clammy to the touch.

Rhea, in Josephine, Empress OF the
French" was greeted by an audience
which completely filed the Armory Opera
House, Saturday evening. In the play,
of course, Josephine is the central figure
and is represented as making a heroic
sacrifice for France in consenting to the
divorce from Napoleon. This, while no
doubt contrary to history, is a most
pleasing version OF this memorable event
in French history, and gives opportunity
for the display OF the actress talents,
While Rhea's Josephine Ia placed on
very high plane OF tragic sacrifice, she
does in one scene show that she is but
n woman after all. When told that
Marie Louise has light hair, she exclaims;
al did not think he would like light hair.
The sacrifice Josephine is represented as
making is all the more intensified Tor the
audience, which knows how futile it was.
The character of Talleyrand was prob
ably the most historically correct OF any
represented, II we except that OF Pauline
Bonaparte. Both were well acted and

The Mining School
Athletic Clubs
Dance
Was IA Success I'm Every Way.
About $50 Couples Dance TO the
sweet Strains OF the Firth
Infantry Band.

The party which has been the theme OF
the young people of the Portage Lake
towns for several weeks was given Friday
evening by the students OF the athletic
association OF the Michigan Mining
School. To say that it was an unquali-
fled success would not be sufficient praise
for there was that something added to
the usual successful ball which caused all
to remark repeatedly on the prettiness OF
the scene and the thorough enjoyability
OF the evening. To this the ladies pres
ent unconsciously contributed by appear
ing in gowns made especially for the oc-
casion, and one OF the student-hosts
voiced the sentiments OF his fellows when
he remarked that the ladies seemed to
have unanimously complimented them
and made the artistic success of their
party by that very fact.
The hall was most deliberately decorat-
ed in the most pleasing OF manners, with
flags OF all description. The stars and
stripes predominated and there were also
the flags of all the leading nations with,
as a crowning effect, the multi-colored
signal flags OF the Onigaming yacht club.
The music, rendered by the Fifth lnfan-
try band, was prepared especially and
the climax of this feature was the "M. M.
S. Two-Step," composed by Mr.. A. +.
Sherman, OF the Mining School. 1t was
encored and brought forth besides the
well known Mining School yell.
The executive committee in charge OF
the arrangements was composed OF W. f.
Dubois, A. w. Clark and Fred T. Greene,
and the following gentlemen took charge
OF the guests in the supper-room: X. ii.
Strickland. Fl. T. Seeley, F.W. Hoar, ii. b.
Randall, John T. Been, +. l.. Reynolds,
G. III. r. Harris and T. z. Zietuche.
About 1875 couples were in attendance,
for which number the dancing floor is ex-
cellently well adapted. The special train
from Calumet brought in but a dozen
people, the fact OF the appearance OF Rhea
in Houghton the next evening probably
preventing many from coming. Several
guests were present from Lake Linden
and LAnse. The Mining School parties
of the future will be looked forward to
az assured social successes.
