Friday evening the young women's
progressive union was openedl at the
rooms In the Rodick block. For long
time 1t has been felt that there should be
ia the town an institution which would
provide for the women and girls OF the

tion of this union, which begins in a
modest way, but which will, no doubt, be
enlarged as necessity demands.
All women and girls in town are cor
daily invited to join. 1t lis planned to
have the rooms open two evenings week
during the winter, from to 10 O'Clock.
Girls from fourteen TO sixteen years of age
will be ciassed as junior members, and
their hours will be from to S.
Young women over sixteen years old are
clsssed as senior mem bers, aud their hours
are from to 10 O'Clock. The object OF
| the association is to provide place where
young women may spend an evening in a
social way with profit TO themselves, and
| where their physical, intellectual and
moral development will be looked after.
A reading-tsb and games will be pro-
vided, and physical culture and sewing
classes will be organized. The physical
cultuse classes will be under the super
vision of Mrs. Weeks. wife ofthe physical
director OF the Y. NJ. C. A.

twelve miles from Corinth, on the night
Of Oct. 2. On the Sd a battle was kept
up all day between Van Dorn's advance
and force sent out by Rosecrans. On
the morning Of the 4th the confederates
advanced with a fearful assault on the
FEDERAL center. The federals bravely
w1thstood the shock while their artiI-
lery made lanes through the confeder-
ate ranks. Wavering at first, they rail-
lied, and then there followed a desper-
ate struggle, in which the confederates
were forced back in confusion to the
woods in the rear. Finally the federals
charged furiously over the entrench-
ments and drove Price and Lowell back
in wild diSmay. Van Dorm began a
hasty retreat, and was pursued by
Rosecrans for distance. So ended the
gallant defense Of Corinth, covering
Rosecrans with honor. His force was
only 10000, while that of the confeder-
ates had been increased TO $4,000. In
the engagement and pursuit his loss
was 1900. He estimated the confeder-
ate loss, from reliable data, at 5000.

Iceland has been under Danish rule
since A. D. 1887. 1t is therefore greatly
influenced by Danish thought and Gus
tom.
The first record we have of evangelical
preaching in Iceland Is that of the resi-
dent priest at SkaIholt, who on All
Saints Day, 1880, just thirteen years
after the memorable day at Witten-
berg, preached a powerful sermon
against the worship of saints. He was
reproved for this act by the bishop,
but he defended his position by the
Scriptures, especially the writings of
ST. Paul. The bishop in reply said that
Paul was the teacher of the GentileS,
not our teacher.
That the Reformation had taken
some foothold in Iceland at an early
date we may infer from a resolution
passed at Althing, 1888. In which the
people are admonished to keep the
holy faith, Gods law, which He has
commanded, and the Holy Fathers de-
creed"

that the message they bore was not

There are many people nowadays
who never go to church. They pay no
attention to the preacher. They new
er read the Bible. The only Christian
teaching they cannot avoid is the week
day sermon preached to them by the
conduct of their Christian neighbors.

THE MisTLEToE BoueH.

Thomas Haynes Bayly's song of the
Mistletoe Bough" was founded upon
a story told in the poem of ITALY by
Samuel Rogers. The story was that
Ginevra, a beautiful girl. of a noble
family, was to wed youth Of excellent
birth. Guests had assembled, but the
bride was missing. ALI search proved
fruitless. The expectant bridegroom
sought death, and found it in war. An
aged father for many years sought his
lost child. After his death an old chest
In the castle gallery fell to pieces when
being removed, and inside was the skel-
eton, on which was found jewelry, a
wedding ring and a seal inscribed
Ginerva. The words of the song and
the music are Bayly's:
The miStletoe hung In the castle hall
The holly branch shone on the old oak
wall;
And the barons retainers were blithe and
gay,
And keeping their Christmas holiday.
The baron beheld with a fathers pride
His beautiful child. young Lovelrs bride;
While she with her bright eyes seemed
to be
The star of the goodly company.
"Pm weary of dancing now" she cried:
Here tarry a moment-Pu hide. I'll
hide!
