In thia lntitudo and locality thoro {s but about four fnches of snow, which, lowever, proves sufliclent to make excellent sleighing,—the sur- faco of tha ground boing smooth, and the snow Iying evenly.

'Tho total manufacturo this scason up to Jau. 1, at all points on tho river, waa 214,- 000,000 feot. Inucluding the loge on hand, the total product the comimg senson will bo about tho samo amount.

THE FLOURING MILLS AT AINNEATOLIS aro all in operation on full time; raw matorial in plonty, and the product fluda a ready eale. The total numbar of mills now oporated is four- toen, and threo more aro nearly completed, and will bo in operation iu a fow days. Gov.

Tho total number of run of stono at the falls, including tho new mills, 1g 187,—daily capacity, 8,830 barrels, The’pro- duct last soagon was 511,000 barrels of flour, and 40,408,000 pounds of feod. About 8,000,000 bushels of grain was roduced during the post yoar. All the numorous manufacto- xies are running about as usual at this time of year; honce thero is littlo, and no unususl, sufforing om account of stopping manufactorics. The same is truo of all parts of tho State, 80 far as Tean loarn, Min- neapolis would be more directly affected by busi- noss-stagnation than any othor city in the State, for the reason that its numerous mills and other branches of industry are literally the life of the place, and on them, in one way and anothar, the population depond himost outirely for snbsiat- ence, Millioos of dollars of capital aro mvested thero, and the pereons employed i the mills aud varions manutuclories aud works consiitute a Tutgo wajority of the population of abont23,000. {3 by the situation, there 18 VERY LITTLE SUFFERING among the popul this tuno of year, Thus is especinlly gratifying when it Is known that thero is sueh wide-sproad sufforing in the ast, Whenevor it hos been. necessary to cur- tall expenses, orreduca the numbor of employos, tho courso of tholarre manufacturers at the Falla'of St. Anthony towasrd their omployes has Joon characterized by maguaminity ond gen- crosity; bence this fortunate condition of the thousands of oporators at that poiut, Tho pros- pects, nover discouraging, are bow brighteniag ; and it Is tho unanimous opinion of tho lsrge manufacturers aud cupitulists that all branches of business at tho Fulls will be better in n short tiwo tuau_during Jest scason at the same time of year.

'Tneir religlous hitoraturo i the highly pieturesque’ nnd allogorical way they' xop- resentod thoir notfons of Creation, and that un- seon and hidden forco that nnimatos, guidos, end rulos the world, Whon languago was poor, thin, and mongra, spiritual and abatract ideas and' concoptions woro roproscntod by notaal things, and all naturo beoamo o dictionary of symbols. 'To read theso anclont books lterally, would make them a colleotion of tho most silly and ludicrous stories, & huge henap of tho vorioiit trash, For instance, everyono rovolts at tho ugly story of Hophwatus splitting opon thwo hoad of Zous with an axo, and Atheuo springing forth full-armed, but when you find in this sav- 'Lord bad beon talliing to -bim. n¥g imagory that Zous was thg bright sky, thnt his forohend was the Enst, and that Hephiestos waa tho unseen sun, and Athone was the morui- ing dawn stepping forth from the fountaba al light, it begins to Envu pootic moaving. Agsain, when wo read how Apellon and Arte- mis ‘murdored {ho twolve childron of Niohe in cold Dblood, wo aro horrifled at s peo- Elu that could worship such foroclous gods; ut when we discover that Niobo, in that anaiont langunge, was tho origiual namo of wintor, and that no moro is meant by Apollon aud Arfomis than that the voruul forcos of nature, with their benutiful darts,—tho sun-boams,—slow the ive aud the snow,—the childron of tho winter,-— it becomos really a very protty proturo of ancierib thought. Wo think that old Baturn was s horri- blo monster when wo rend how hoe ate up his own childron, but when we find out that Saturi wus the name for old Time, that cats up all tho dnys, wooks, months, and years, Wwe are 1o longor offonded at hls peculiar uppotite. In thig way wo might travel ti ‘ml{{h all msmn\oglw cnl literature, from the most classic and elogani to the most rough and barbarous, and, instead of feoling disgusted at the grotesquo and loose) imngory, come out with profound "astonishmon : that & people so far mway upon the vergeol’ history, apparently in the twilight of the world'ss morniug, could look so deoply into nature, andl fael 80 much of its unearthly meaning, It is, ncr doubt, truc that tho great mass of tho peoplo, dull, eruol, aud material, ofton read theso myth- ologica! storics as literal history, and henco thore sprung up among them a coarso and re- volting form of worship; but tho ghllonnphnm, tho wen of thought and resonrch, nlways ro- gorded thom us only poctic and picturesque ways of vepresouting the biddon forces of mna.- Luro, spirituul idens, or_dimly shadowing forth the gouse of & God. Now, 1t seems to mo wiy might wisely tako a hint from all this, as to thes most proper way of interproting sundry paw - sagesin tho Biblo, especially in the Old Testn - ment, which, if pressed too litorally" will certainly involve us in grave dificalty, from . which it would bo impoasible to find a 1ational cacape. For instanco, were somo Oriental: scholar to find an Eastern book containing 1. story about Treos of Lifo and Knowledgo hav. - i:? ‘once grown in a primal gavdon, and how a1 talking nnd conversublo wonlte wheedled the first . woman into eating the fruit of one of the trees, rothor against her will, but deceived by his po.- lite and fascinating speach, would Lo not in: - slaotly, from his knowledgo of Oriontal litor. - ature, prouounce the story an allogary that doubtless ehrouded somegreat mysterious truth i’ Why not, then, bo equally reasousblo in o construction of the story when wo find {t in the1 Bible, Wo find, on reading tue Bible, and: espeainlly ita more nnclent books, that the He.- brew literature, in its early formative state, like) tho literature of all other nations, was objects - ive—that is, thoy spoko of things spiritual, ab- - stract, and supornal s if they wero living, visi. « ULlo, concrete renlitics. When spesking of fall- « ing into temptation, thoy would say, **Wo bave geen tho Dovil.” Whatwo call a kindly, protect. ing Providence, they called a rock, a fortress, buckler, or high tower. Whon an old patriarch hind & good dream, o vivid impulse, intuition, o1 presentiment, he would say that tho Augel of the « ‘What wo callt thie lighe of consciouca, thay somotimes called a . pillar of eloud by day to guide them, aud a pillss * of firo by night to stand €entinol over thon . Now, it wo read that snciont picture-language, ¢hat lighly pootic litorature, 08 we do our mod. - un prose-history, wo shhll wmako it & jungle of * swurdities, sud lose the faiv trute 't contains. “ \Wo muat allow for this montal parallax,” says - Max Muller, *orall our roadingof those an. - ciont skies will bo erroncous.” My text i token from a etory in the Bible: that' requires to be thus generously deall with or wo shall find ourselves inyolved. in troublo that will bo inexplicablo. T'hat God did ever actually rain brimstone and . fire out of Heayon upon the dovoted citios of the plain, and did actuslly tura a poor woman runhing for her lifo into apillar of salt for boing : curious onough toglance ovor her shoulder t gee the feartul atorm that was falling upon her - once ploasaut homo and dear neighbors would I e siniply ridioulous and absurd. Wo must find! s more rational oxplication of such strange maw - , vels or mako the Bible a scandal and an _offense. tomany pure and thoughtful minds.

Lhe Church of Momo- 1y looka for the golden-ago. in tho past, and be- comes pillar of salt. 5 ¥ But Iwishto givea few individual applica- tions of this law of growth and development. To haltin our education, to cease storing the mind with useful knowledge, is to petrify. Alany talk as it natare was s plonum, something fin- iuhad, and that God had closed his account with it, and_evor sinco had boen resting snd cou- gratulating himself thatbhis work was go very good that ft could not be improved, this a8 it may, it s atill true thot man is still iu tho pro- cess 0f making, and has not received, and is not likely very soon to recoive, tho bonediotion of & completed work. His nataralattitude is that of a orpotual socker. 1f ho would live and thrive, nn sliquld over seo boforo him some new powor Lo neods, and hurry forward and try to overtako it. Whon we weigh the body, it is its prosont weight in avordupois wo seok, but when we try to weigh the mind it is not what it kmows or Laa done, but its prosumptive valuo, its otontial Powurs, the amount that maybe made of it, hat we desire to know. Aud, now, we grow on- 1y 80 far aswe sre anxious to ontor upon this ideal estato, como into the owuership of onr bost powers, thoughts, feslings, and actions. Wo grow ouly 80 far as wo bocomo discontonted with the Actunl, and sack to draw freslior water from the doop wolls of tho Poxsible, ** Caro is taken," says Gootlie, ** that the trecs do mot grow info the sky,” but man is o _tres, Imny sdd, that must grow into the sky aud push out its boughs into tho flnest ether of thought, or become a dend tres dropping with decay. This is why socioty is #o much likea Baroum's musoum, crowded with statues, mummies, and wax-flgures, iustead of & wide fiold of mentsl activity whero every.one, according to his. cir- cumstances and obility, was trying to larvost all the knowledge he could. 'Iho doom i8 upon us sll to go forward and lialher finer tlowers and froit than wo bave yot dono, or turn to pil- lars of salt, We must thiuk, or abdicato the power of thonght, We must think in tho direc- tion of something now sud fresh, or cease grow- ing and come to montul paralysis, on know that in climbing o precipice or some staop ascent that it is daugerous’ to look down, for the Lead may grow dizzy, the Laud rolax, and then all may be lost. Bo,too, in our strugyle aftor moral worthiness to cherish the halit of looking back and mourning ovar the slips and the stumbles we have made will certainly prove fatal to growth, Lot tho dond past it dead. What though that past bo all “ablazo with 8hamo and rogrot, aud romorse burna {ho soul with a flercer flame than that which licked up thocitiesof Sodom and Gomarrah.” Cnn you put out that fire by tarung round to ook ot it? Help comes from tho robound of the conacicnce from tho staggoring blow it has recoived, plant- ing its foot more firmly to meet the next ne- soult, Very much that is called ropentance is morely & snd looking back and peltiug one's soll with momories, ‘Lruc - repentance i8 o forgetting of thoso things ‘which ara bohind and a reaching forth unto thogo things which are beforo. ** Salvation doos not come out of the momory, It is the fair obild of faith and hopo, boru on the bright dawn ot the future,” We havo all dono wrong, atrangely and foolishly gone nstray, sua the bost wuy to shotw that we ave benrtily sshamed of it iu not to do 80 again, sud meet the temptations of tha fu- ture with mora zesl and cournge. Somo religions teachors mako & groat ado about what they call the duty of solf-examing- tion, or intorviowing one's olt, in order to flad evidoneo of ono's roligious state, That groat and good man, Jonnthan Edwarde, wrote his work on the affoctions for the purpose of help- ing people plously inclined thus to” analyze aud dissect themselves, It ought to bo called 2 trostise on tho morbid anntomy of the mind. We have any amount of this kind of lllerature,— the diariey of peoplo who ovory day keps tally of thoir frame of focling,—ond I verily bolieve that it i8 just about the driest aud most uuwholo- gome kind of readiug ono can find in religious litoratura, There is no way one killsmoro quick- ly what fow flowers grow in tho soul than to bo thus constantly handiing them, How can auy one grow who Las it for o habit to ho thus con- atantly looking boek in this way of sell-mapec: tion ?° When n boy, my fathor gavo mo a swoall f“wh of ground toralso some wstermolong upon, [ wag vory anxious to havo them Lurry and got ripo, nnd would go out every day and thump hurd upon them to see 1f the rind would give the sound that indicated riponosa. DBut the poor things, under so much. umm‘zlng‘nu took to rot- ting, aud nover riponod ub all, Thoy wara killed hf' too much examiuation. If I had lot them alono, the winds, raing, aud Buy, in the natusal way, would have done s great deal better by them, Now, the true Isw of Christian growth isto look right forward, doing tho duties of to-dsy in the light of conacience sud plaoning botter things for the future, - Nothing givea such & hard sud ugly twiat to the chinracter as to b constantly loaking baok to soa Low far one hus come and what sork of stops they have made, Goorge Fox iu about the ouly one I remombor who over wrote n disry of his religious life that did not provo to bos pillar of salt, Ho rarely over alludos to any frame of foeling a8 an ovidouce of Lis apiritual rowth, but goos straight forward, telling whoro En wout, what ho did, what kiod of succoss ho had, and nover ovou intimatos shat Lo has any fearu fov the patoty of hia soul, and doath with him was eimply ono day forgetting to live." 1 You wont to potrify, put yourself in tha habit of looking back in the way of self-cxamination. If you want to grow put yourself in the attiludo of ovor looking forwatd snd trying to make overy coming day better than tho pust, There are many that kave o way of nursing their errors, petting aud coddiing thelr troubles, until they bacomo too enfoabled to perform the duties that sro beforo them, The oune do: child in hoaven tekes awwy all thought about the living childven, Wo' cannot forget owr dead, but, it I8 not by looking buck on tha joys we hava lost, but forward to the immortality thas awaits us, that we most honor thelr mamory and learn wisdom aud pationce, Cher- igh thelr memorlss ouly o far aé you can bring porfuine out of thom a8 oherlshed flowers to nl‘ncd wore Jove, s\eatnoss, aud . sympathy upon otbara, Weo Lave no lolaurs mosbldly to look basks however wise, good, or’ hlows up ontof Tholionry are fast coming n upon us laden with other dutlen too dlvine to be neglocted; respon- sibilitles too grave fo. bo ovorlookod § opportunities too proglous to leso.

AR S VA T e e R e s CHEHICAGO WEEKLY TRIBUIE ‘THE LEADING NEWSPAPER If THE NORTHWEST. ‘[HE PAPER FOB THE FARMER, ‘ MECHANIC, MANUFACTURER, MERCHANT, BANKER, -PROFESSIONAL MAN, AND THE FIRESIDE, PROSPECTUS FOR 1874, The coming year promiges to be the most eventfulin a political sense that we have seen since the closo of the war. The questions which havo engrossed and divided the public mind during the past twenty yesars are rapidly .passing away, end we find growing up in differont parts of the country a party called by vari- ous names-~-in California tho Ind pendent party, in Iowa the Anti- Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the Roform party, in Illinois the Farmers’ Movement---having & com- mon purpose-and- inspiration, and exhibiting & strength which proves that it pnswers one of tho chief de- mands of tho hour. The CHICAGO TRIBUNE will give a large share of its attention to this NEW MAN. IFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI- MENT. It holds: 1st. That the old party orgamza tions aro essentially corrupt and fraudulent. Having no longer any principles to carry into effect, thoy have become mere business onter- prisos, meking & show of opposition to each othor, but really sharing in the procceds of profligate and dis- honest legislation, To suppose that any healthful reform con flow from the pretended efforts of these wor: out end demoralized partnership is altogether vain and illusory. 2d. That the tariff system now in vogue is a cunning device to rob the many for the benefit of the few, and that its effect is to cause farm pro- ducts to exchange for about one-halt the quantity of foroign or ¢ pro~ tected” goods they would otherwise buy. 3d. That railroads cannot exact more than & fair rate of intorest on the capitel actually invested in them, and that when, in addition to this, they claim dividends on watored stoek and fraudulent bonds, the State may rightfully interfere for the protection of the people ; thatunjust discriminations between different localities are in violation of law and should be prohibited. 4th. That subsidies or bounties o money, land, or public credit, to railway, steamship, or other corpo- rations, are fagrant abuses of the powers of government, fraught with the gravest dangers to the people, and tending to promoto corruption, extravagance, spoculation, and financial disaster. The genecral character of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well established to meed recapitulation, It is slways independent and fear less in the oxprossion-of its views In its news department it is secon. to no paper in the United State! The Weekly Edition contains & eaxr’ fully propared summary of the ne’ of tho week, brought down to t hour of going to press. Titerary, political, finaneial, : cinl, and agricultural topica W constitute, as heretofore, leadi, festures of the Weekly Edition, aL no peins will be spared to increase its “attractivenoss in these dopart- ments. Its market reports are un- surpassed, embracing all the infor- mation which farmers roquire for the intelligent transdction. of busi- noss, both as sellers and buyers. THE WEEELY TRIBUNE is a large oight-page sheot, of tho samQ size as the Daily Tribune, consisting of {ifty-six columns of closely«- printed matter, and, as 8 family Tewspaper and in its general malke- up, is unsurpassed by any paper in the land, THE TRIBUNE will be furnished during the ensuing year at tho fol- lowing rates, payable in advance: WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
