POETRY.
Crown Hi in.
In 1835, when Dr. Webb, and other
titer ;
they
missionaries sailed, the -last words
heard from their native land were "Crown ,
Hiin Lord of all.'
They hushed their, breath, that noble
band,
ToatcIi the last farewell,
The deachonie shore reoeeding fast
With every ocean swell.
Above the city's noise and din,
A ng rose on the air
A soiiff of tiiumph and of jar.
JProui loved ones gathered there.
"All hail the powej- of Jesuj ri
And, clear us bugle call, j :
The words came' floating otfthe air;
Gh! crown IIiniXordf all I'1 -;, V1
They taught theitpirit'of the hyiiiff?3 ' -
Danger aud death looked small
To thii: brave quesi who gave tbeirlives
To crown Jliui Lord of ull.
A battle hymnthat song sped on
"The world for Christ "" the call,
For every Island of the sea
; .Shall crown him Lvd of all.
On Himalaya sunny stope,
Bv DelhiVivinjilv dl
They lay their lives dowu at his feet,
And crown Him Lord of all. j
- !
Tlie Southern Cross begins to betid,
The iRornitiir dawns ut lat, j
Llol and shrine and mosque and tower,
At Jesus' feet are east.
Triumphant Zion, lift .thy head,
Let every burden fall;
Come cast your trophies at His frier,
And crown Him Lord ot all !
L. M. Latimer, in Woman's Wprlc for
11 omen,
Culture is something-above andi beyond
education. One may be very learned in
certain directions, may be an authority In
language, science or art, yet may not have
attainetTtrue culture. We can coufceiye of
a. scholar, a learned man, who shall be
coarse, sensual, rough in speech ad man
ner; in short, a barbarivn of the Dr. John
son type; but when we speak of a cultured
person, we admit no such possibi Itics in
our thoughts.
A rich field may be ploughed Uep, but
with furrows crocked and half-turned, -un-tihtly
stumps may be scattered here and
there, and wild brambles and thistles may
flourish in every 1 fence corner ; yet if theT
ground be well harrowed and gopd seed
used, a fine and remunerative crop may be
prowu; nevertheless, nonecould assert that
theland had been well cultivated. Beside
this field lies perchance another, less rich
and generous in soil, whose owner ha3 re
moved every stump, weed, and unsightly
bush ; it has been carefully drained, tW
ploughing has been exact,' -smooth" and
deep ; then the earth has been enriched and
harrowed thoroughly ; the best seed have
been sown with the nicest care ; the result
is beautiful to the eye, a delight io tall who
look upon it ; the grain is of the jiweetest
quality, though pssibly not so greajt in ex
cess of quantity above that grown careless
ly, but the chances are that thclcareful
planter will also be the careful gleaner, and
that the latter crop will be garnered well,
and disposed of to the best possible ad
vantage. i J 1
The difference .in the management of the
two fields illustrates the difference between
education simply and thorough culture.
The latter perfects, as far as possible, by
eraclTcatina everything" that the highest
standard would condemn, arid adding any
thing that would embellish or please. It
has to do with mind' and heart, and their
outward exuression in manners. It has
a
also to do with the spiritual nature and
graces, charity, kindness, benevolence, gen
erosity, truth, honor, purity, love ; all thcBe
enter iuto and form a' part of its chafm its
powers . j
The attainment of thorough culture is
almost impossible to one who has not de
scended from educated, cultivated ances
trv. It is a herculean labor "for otie who
has been reared roughly, coarsely, by uncd
.ueated persons to acquire "a smooth, clear
articulation, a perfect pronunciation, the
polished, graceful manner, and the jsteady
tact that belong by nature and birthright
to. the child of culture. An uncultured
person cannot speak jpne sentence, Cannot
even cross the room without betray jng, to
the ex pert,-about the grade of society in
which he was bormIt is really wonderful
how tenaciously these little peculiarities of
"speech and manner, that betray the nation
ality and the rank of life, wili-cling p one.
About the best that cau be done is toj polish
away the great roughness by continual
grinding oirthc wheel of persistent stjrivirg.
by -drilling the tones of voice uponj vowel
and consonant soundspract icing over, and
over again correct pronunciation, accji dril
ling the body in calisthenics. These two
classes of exercises followetLday after day,
year after year, with continued merdal ef
fort in readingand studying the best books,
that is, the kindly, gentle pure,j6wect
book,, instead of wild, fierce, harslk pas
sionate books, together with frequenting
the best society attainable, and "being in
love and charjly with all-men," will gradu
ally bring man or woman into the oul;ward
ranks of culture. Promotion will depend
upon the amonnt of natural susceptibility
and the forv-c of continued effort. EX.

Hon. Jeremiah S. Blaclf, ex-Judge

cently stated :
All public men must take their
side on this question. There can be s
no neutrals, lie that'ie not for us is
against us.
We must have legal pro
tection aratnst these abuses. This
agftation once begun, and the magni-
lude of the grievance being under-
stood, it will force our rulers to
give us-a remedy against it.i The
monopolies will resist with all their
arts aud influence, but fifty millions

and Pacific Railway, and one hundred and
fifty miles west of Dubuxue City.
The lake is two or three feet higher than
the earth's surface. In some places tue
wall is ten feet high, fifteen feet wide at the
bottom and tive feet wide on the top. An
other fact is thc size of thc stone used in
the construction, thc whole of them varying
in weight from three tons down to one hun
dred pounds. There is an abundance of
stones in Wright county, but surrounding
the lake to. the extent of five or ten miles
thorp are none. ISo one can lorm an idea i
of live means employed to bring them tothe
$pot or who constructed it.
Around the entire- lake is a belt of wood
land half a mile in length, composed of oak,
With this exception the country is a roll
ing prairie. The trees must have been
planted there at thc time of the building of
the wall.
In the spring of the year 1850, there wa?

damages to prevent iuundatim. The lake
occupies a ground suriace ol ,Svio acrc3i

The water is clear and cold, soil sandy
and loam'; It is singular that no one has
been able to ascertain where the water
comes from nor where it goes, yet it is al
ways clear and fresh.
Rejoiceth not ix Isiquitv. Among
onr most cherished memories is that of
a Chtistian lady who would uot listen to
an evil report; who would say at once to
the gossip that brought it : "You may lie
mistaken; then; may be some explana
tion of the matter; we had better not
talk about such things even if we know
that they are true. Hasn't that person
any noble or amiable traits of character ?
Hasn't he Rome good that we cau talk
about ! It is a great deal better for ns to
con verse about pure things than about vile
things. If there is really any carrion in
our cominnunity tainting the air we had
liettcr bury it as soon as possible. The
sight and sni. U of it will do no good. It
may do us and our children a eat deal

about the faults of others before my lit

forted in their naughtiness by hearing
how naughy other people are. And now

folks and getting oar hearts set against

bnnish gossip, with all it blighting iu

Prerequisites of Success.
Integrity of character and truth arc the
prerequisites of success in any calling, and
especially so in that of the merchant.
These are the attributes which hover fail i
to command respect and win admiration,
io one lulls to appreciate them; ana it j
i they "do not pay," in

the phrase, they brinr an amount of satis

is not betrer stock in trade than those
principles; no capital goes so far or pays
o well; or is so exempt from bankruptcy or
loss. When known, they jiive credit ami
confidehce,and in the hardest times will

you ari unlimited capital to do business
upon, and everybody will indorse year

business, look well to these indispensable
clcments f guCeess, and defend them as he
would the apple of his eye. It inattentive
and reckless here, he will imperil every
thing. Uaukruptcy in character is seldom
repaired in an ordinary lifetime. A man

so the man who suffers in character, lie
just and truthful. Let these be the ruling
j and predominating principles of your life,
and reward will be certain, either in the
happiness they bring to your own boom.
or the success whicli will attend upon all
your business operations in life, r both."

when the dispatch, telling of Disra

obituary piireon-hole is one of the
handiest. things in a printing office.
It contains ti e very articles that may
be wanted when there is no time to
write them. Notable persons may
die suddenly, even when the ncwspi
per forpis are ready to be locked up,
and if the obituaries were not nady
belorehand the papers would have to
go without them. It was what might
be called a close shave in the ex-pri-micr's

comingj in so late. A great deal of
matter jihat was ready for thc forms
had to be lifted out, for the sketches

The Knack ol" lojng Things.
"Some people have t"hc knack of
loing these things." said a lady the
other day : "while I well, it is with
louse keeping as it u.-ed to be .with
arithmetic 1 have no rift. Yon
o
iv now there are people who cannot do
anything with figures."
Oi course there ' a difference in
people, after due allowance has been 1
made for education, but many would
be surprised if thoy were told that
the reason why thev cannot do cer
tain things is because they have not
really tried. Herein lies thc secret of
the poor performance of ordinary du-
tics that we frequently see; the wo
man is content to leave the more se
rious matters of life as the girl left
her arithmetic, with thc poor conso
lation that she is not elected to. do
anything with figures, and she is like
ly to regard those able to accomplish
creditably the tasks ,set before them
as having a certain mysterious knack,
a- "slight-of-hand" "way of getting
along with them. It is wonderful to
fiee how much ingenuity is displayed

oy some women wno, wifn very nine
money, arc always dreWed in perfect
taste, and with no apparent effort-to
keep old furniture from looking shab
by, old carpets and curtains fresh and
bright, but these things arc accom
plished by much thought-and a great
deal of hard work. Nothing helps a
person to do things like doing them.
One seeing only the result is not very,
much to blarne for thinking them
brought about in some magical way.
It has. sometimes seemed as' if-more
hard brain work was done during
houe-c!eaning and , spring-sewing
than v.vuld suffice to produce a toler
a by good history of the State of New
York. It would be easier to wrile a
poem. than -to turn an old carpet so,
that every sjmt-and worn place will
come where1 it will not get the daily
wear and tear, or where it can be cov
ered with a suitable picce-of furnitur, -or
to make a new coat for the boy out
of tlie" old 'soiled one of his father's.
These eSorts of genius will probably
never be appreciated, or estimated-at
their full value; but there is a great
discipline to be had from them, which
in the great economy of nature must
surely count for what it. is worth.
