| Compare with me. ye women, if you can.
How soon. my dear, death may my stems
attend,
How soon t may be thy lot to lose thy
friend
These farewell lines to recommend to thee,
That when that knots united that made
us one,
may seem thine, who in effect am none
And if see not half my days that's due,
What Nature would God grant to yours
and you;
| The many faults that well YOU know I
have
Let be inferred in my oblivious grave;
If any worth or virtue is in me,
| Let that live feeby in thy memory
| Mistress Ann received for her poetical
| talents the title of the Tenth Muse and
the most distinguished men of the day
We're her friends and admirers. When we
examine the poetry of that period and see
the miserable attempts at rhyme made by
many writer's We must believe that Mrs.
Bradstreet was as learned as her coadjus
tors and vastly more poetical.
The preface to the third edition, printed
in 165S thus sketches her character: 'Ir
is the work of a woman honored and es-
teemed where she lives for her gracious
demeanor her eminent parts, her pious
| conversation, her courteous disposition,
her exact diligence in her place, and dis
Greet management of her family occasions,
and more so, these poems are the fruits
of few hours :urtailed from her sleep
and other refreshments"
| When Mrs Bradstreet wrote her poems
she could have had no models save
Chaucer and Spenser. Milton had not be-
come known as writer and Shakespeare
was not read by the Puritans of New
] England
Ann Bradstreet died In 1872, at the age of
90 and was the mother of eight children.
In the Bradstreet lineage are Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, William Ellery Charming,
Wendell Phillips and Richard Fl. Dana.

Stain of Orange Juice

will you kindly tell me how to re.
move spots caused by the juice of an
orange from a blue satin dress?
M. P.'
You might try sponging the spots
with a weak solution of common am
monia and water, putting a piece of
blotting paper under the spot sponged
to preevnt the formation of a. ring on
the silk. But blue is delicate, and | do
not promise this treatment will i'm
prove the present state of the stain
1t can scarcely make 1t worse. The acid
of the fruit juice has doubtless taken
the color from the silk, and if the am
monia fails to restore 1T l fear moth
ing else will remedy it.

Do not use any powder that will

stains with this, then wash off thor

minium in my own kitchen is cleaned

ACCEPTS. Invitation
Sixty, Signify: Their Willingness to
Accept Christ and Unite With
the Church. !,

- The services at the Methodist
church Sunday were largely at
tended, and the stirring, thoughtful
sermons of Evangelist Hugh T.
Smith were followed with the clos
est attention. There were many evil
dences that the claims of Christ up
on the life of men are being thought
fully considered by many people IN
Webster City.
In the morning Mr.. Smith spoke
on the question "Is it we'll that you
live in Webster City?' At the after
noon service, his subject was, What
are you good for?" And the even
ing address was on "Man-stealeTs or
Soul-winners." All were strong adj
dresses, tremendously gripping the
large congregations, which listened
to them.
The first week of the evangeistic
campaign was fruitful in results. AS
result of the pastors invitation
Sunday morning to unite with the
church, either by letter or profession
of faith, sixty came forward. These
represented all ages, including a
number of parents, and many Of the
young people of the Sunday school.
It was an inspiring scene, aud
brought tears to many eyes.
Many compliments are heard con-
corning the work of the mems Choir
us during these meetings. Their
singing Sunday was of a high or
der. They will furnish special mu-
sic for the service tonight and
throughout the week.
