The Dove.

The dove, or pigeon, was the first bird
to be domesticated; dove-cotes are al
luded to with their windows" or lat
ticed openings, in the book of Isaiah.
The dove is mentioned more than fifty
times in the Scripture; and. while dis
tinguishing gonah or pigeon from tor or
turtle dove, the Jews we're perfectly
aware of their natural affinity, and spoke
of them together. They were the only
birds admitted for sacrifice by the law
of Moses, and both had been 80 used by
Abraham. The dove is first mentioned
in the history of Noah's flood.
1t has been said that the dove, or
pigeon, does not care particularly for it's
brood. This is untrue. A few years
since two pigeons had built their nest in
the top story of dove-cote. and had
Matched their young. which came out Of
the eggs about the middle of March. On
the 10th very severe storm of snow
and snow drift set in. The door of the
dove.cote looked to the northwest.
whence the storm was coming; so that
the snow blew right into the portal
where the young pigeons were lying,
only day or two old. The storm was
severe, and the young brood would no
doubt have persisted but for the happy
expedient that the father of the young
pigeons adopted. He stood in the door
way, with his tail spread out to the
storm and the wings in futtering pc.
sition. evidently with the intention OF
stopping the draught, so as to shelter
his naked offspring. and there he stood
for hours with the snow thick on his
back and tail, breaking the intensity OF
the cold. But for this the young must
have died.

Spiders for Partners.

A syrup bother has improved upon the

by the genial air of his bottling room,

and walls of the bottling department.
Said the bother to an interviewer:
These creatures know more than a
great many people. Spiders do not care
for sweet things, and never drop into my

THE MICHIGAN CORRESPONDENT
IN NEW ENGLAND.
1903 Tacoma Building

No matter how happy ones adopted
home may become, nor how dear the
new friends may grow to be, one turns
with keen relish to the old homes, to
the hearts and scenes of early days. We
grow old to others, but ourselves keep a
tight grip on the early events of life. so
it is that we gladly turn the key in our
Detroit home and go eastward to the
dear old places of New England. Dur
ing the winter we have talked of trips to
the old world, and of the cheap rates to
California, but when it comes to the
deed we have but one place where we
really desire to go, and that is home.
How swift the years come round! Rid
ing down the Connecticut river to our
fret stopping placeit seems hard to con
vince ourselves that it is ten months
eince we rode up the river Detroitward.
Then, too. so we'll do the fathers and
mothers-or we more often now say
9'grandfathers and grandmother" keep
their youth that it seems more certain
that it cannot be year since we were
here before.
THE RETROSPECT OF DETROIT 81"
1t is however full year and we feel
signs of age! We are still aching from
the work of Y p G. U. Detroit, '97.' AS
one member of the committee said, so
perhaps here many felt, more and more
tired each day of the week following the
close of the Convention" But it is all
over! We were almost sorry to have it
over, for the intense life of that Conven-
ton made US feel we had been on long
voyage with pleasant companions. We
have read the many kindly things said
by various correspondents and are glad
these words have been written, for we
are helped by them to feel that our Wis
itors did have profitable visit and that
the Convention will be of service to our
cause. IL this is really true. we are re-
paid for our hard work and the anxiety
we felt lest we could not entertain the
Convention as it should be entertained
A few of our workers the visitors met
but there we're others behind the scenes
doing valiant service. and especially
would we like to record the names OF
our faithful and clear-headed treasurer
Mr.. L. E. Wise.
Two features of regret cloud the day:
since the Convention. One is the sick
ness of President Felt. A week after

In view of the assassination of
Canovas. and the confession OF his MUIR
derer that the Spanish premier was
killed out of revenge for his prosecution
of the Barcelona anarchists considerable
attention is given to the persistent and
circumstantial stories of cruelties in
tiicted upon prisoners in Spanish jails
and these stories are no longer ignored
by the general European press and pub
lie. The arrival of a company of So
called Spanish anarchists in London,
after being released from custody by
the authorities of Barcelona, gives the
subject of their alleged sufferings spe
cial interest in England. These exiles
declare that, in order to induce them to
confess their guilt in connection with
bomb throwing and other outrages,
they we're subjected to such tortures as
having their finger and toe nails torn
out, burning with branding irons, tear
ing with hot pinchers, being deprived of
water for eight days. and fed during the
time on salt food. If Spain is guilty of
these cruel fortunes no wonder an aven.
ger has arisen from the ranks of the an
archists who believe in the righteous
ness of revenge. The fortunes of the in
QUESTION are not in accord with the civ
ilization of the nineteenth century, and
Spain will suffer by the imitation of its
methods.

The Sixtieth Annual Session OF the
Illinois Universalist Convention will be
b cid at Earlville, September 2Sth, 18th
and Both 1897.
Each parish is entitled to two lay del
epates and for every twenty-five families
above the fret twenty-five contributing
to parish expenses, an additional lay
delegate. No parish should fail to elect
delegates and parishes should be care
full to select those who will attend the
session.
The meeting this year will be more
than usually important. Besides the
questions of local interest to the church,
delegates will be chosen to represent
Illinois in the biennial session oil the
General Convention to be held IN Cni-
cago in October.
Several questions demanding the best
thought of the ablest men in the churcn
will be up for consideration in the ses'
sion of the General Convention.
Universalists of Illinois must first
consider theee questions in their state
convention. A large attendance VIII
add to the interest, enthusiasm and I'M
portance of the occasion. An attend
ance OF one hundred, who pay full rare
going, will make it possible to secure
excursion rates for the return.
In view of these considerations and OF
the fact that this is to be the Sixtietn
Annual Session there should be large
and enthusiastic gathering.
1t is expected that the annual session
of the Young Peoples Christian Union
will be held in connection with the con-
vention.
The Universalist Women's Association
OF Illinois will also hold it's annual meet
ing sometime during the session.
1t is the duty of delegates to attend
and they will not neglect their duty.
Universalists not delegates are urged to
come and sea and hear. Earlville is on
the main line of the G. B. & @. r. r., is
easily accessible and the people there
invite and expect large attendance.

AS she grew up she became very
beautiful and had many admirers,
among whom was Henry Siddons,
young actor i'll her fathers company,
who had little difficulty in winning tho
girls heart. Mr.. and Mrs. Kemble had
made up their minds that Sarah should

Sarah left the company, too, and hired

a lively correspondence and finally,
