CastaIia in Verse.

Castalia is little town
Its county is Winnesheik,
If you re looking for location
This is just the place you seek.
The town is growing very fast,
The people are very neat,
And in tending their own business
The people can't be beat.
The mayor is A. c. Tatro,
He draws his honor right we'll,
He doesn't hold court very often,
Cause the people behave too we'll.
The marshal is Ward Tatro,
He looks as harmless as fly,
But let Ward get after you once
He'll strike both hard and high.
We have three churches in our town,
Methodist, Universalist and U. B.,
And this is the reason the people
Are all so good you see.
Jas. Stewart keeps boarding house
And sets first rate table.
The food is good, the cost is low,
And to pay the price you're able.
James Musser is notary public,
With good points not few;
He's man of serling qualities,
A citizen good and true.
G. G. Johnson is our blacksmith
And is always found at his shop.
Bring in your horses to have 'em shod
And get the work done meats top.
A. Hetland is clerk at corner store,
And vows he'll remain batch.
So is it any wonder
There's patch upon patch.
Mr.. Small is our doctor,
And is ready at any call
When accidents happen
Which to us oft befall
Gibbs & Swanson own the hardware,
Anything you want can be found;
Fine goods and low prices
And everything new and sound.
Lee Fan runs the lumber yard,
And says business is rustling.
He has so very much to do,
1t just keeps him hustling
VIM. Haefner keeps merchandise
And says business is fine,
Has everything and anything
In any kind of line.
&c VIM keeps hotel and restaurant
And dishes up grub in fine style,
And the scent of everything good
Can be smelled nearly mile.
W. K. Riggs is P. M. and druggist,
And has fine line of drugs;
You can procure anything you want
In the line of bottles and jugs.
Well, these are enough for this time,
| So I'll use this as my text;
Please don't forget the rest Of these

Origin of the Sabbath.

The Sabbath as a religious institu-
ton is far older than the Pentateuchal
legislation. It, too, can be traced back
to a Babylon1an prototype, not, how
ever, as a day Of rest from labor, but
as a kind of atonement day, when by
various rites and by observing GER
tain restricted regulations the anger
of the gods could be appeased. On
this old institution the Hebrews In
grated their religious ideas and pro-.
duced the unique institution Of day
observed as a respite from the weeks
toll and which, from being an 'inaus-
picious" occasion, q dies ir@, is viewed
as "a delight" Professor Jastrow in
