i ¥ rows whence he expects to reap golden grain in the harvest time, Effeminacy should be the last characteristic of a traely noble mind, just as a tear disfigures the brow of a manly form and when the full blown dignity of manhood has appeared on the world stage then office, emolument or position will be discarded when it is associated with an act of wrong-doing; proudly will it scorn and spurn even prosperity that is basely purchased. When I speak of the heroic in man I am irresistibly carried into its very open—yiz: duty. To do your duty, there is what I con- sider to be the crowning glory of education. To do ones duty is to do the thing that ought to bedone. It is that which God and nature have ordained to be done by us and conse- quently comes to us with a moral sauctien. Very frequently, we confund duty with self- interest, whereasin reality they are poles asunder. It is our duty to obey established laws enacted for our material or spiritual betterment, although to do so, we may have to forego ourself-interest. Eyerythinggreat, magnanimous and enduring that has been done on this earth has been uccomplished under the guidance of duty. Everything small and miserable has been done under the guidance of self-interest. The history of man and the heart of man will never permit the confounding of the two. Duty makes the soldier, duty makes the citizen, duty clothes us With the vivele robe of truth and gives us the greatest happiness that comés to men on this earth, inasmuch asit is a dictation of his conscience. A man's heart may have been overwhelmed with many joys. It may have been soothed by many satisfactions, but I doubt ifever a joy or satisfaction so enraptured him as on that day or hour in which be laid aside that flimsy garment of his own self-interest and did\his duty to his family, to himself or to his fellow-mortals. Duty confronts us atevery step during ovr chequered careers. We are confronted by it in the church and in the home; in the school- room and the legislative halls; it meets us in the street under the grab of proverty. I plucks the millionaire by the street and con- ducts him to the home cf Lazarus. It rises up spectre-like before the gaze of the states- man in the person of the people that he re- presents, aud if he neglects its presence it will inflict a wound upon his honor which timeand perhaps enternity will not heal. ** Don’t then seek extraordinary means of fulfilling your duty. Such are not called for. In silonce and retirement wonderful works are accom- plished. The great scientists that have given new lustre to genius and new powers to man worked out their theories in silence and solitude. No extraordinary means did they DISTRICT COURT 18 GRINDING Judge W. S. McClenahan and Stenographer Moody did not reach Grand Rapids until Tuesday nightand court was not convened until Wednes- day morning. The grand jury has been “in the hands” of County Attorney Spear, and he is laboring hard to “get even” with a few of his persona! acquaintances. The farce 1s still in progress with no immediate hkelihood of an adjourn. ment. Two more indictments have been returned against ex-Treasurer Miller and one against E. J. Forrell on a charge of careless bookkeeping while he was county auditor. Mr. Spear personally dislikes Mr. Farrell. It is reported that the county attorney puts in most of his time with the jury giving advice and making legal argu- ments to bring about results that will serve his purposes. It is expected that some sensational developments — will be handed before the jury adjourns. Four civil cases have been disposed of. The First State bank of Grand Rapids secured judgment against A. B. Jones ona mortgage sale fore- closure. Thomas Trainor got judgment by direction of the court against David Maturin in the suin of $189.19. J. N. Marr was given a verdict by a jury in an action brought against F, F. Seaman. Mr. Marr was awarded damages in the sum of $180 and given possession of certain dis- puted lands. The case of John Clark against W. C. Tyndall is now being tried before ajury. The rightfull possesion of a team of horses 1s in dispute, Criminal charges of a serious nature prefered against County Attorney George H. Spear are under con- sideration by the grand jury today. pS ee at ig resort to in order to verify them. but the plain book of nature. Look at brick, stones and mortar.

You bring| timber to it a stone which the ages will never dis- turb and how little soever may be your part in the common edifice it will be there eter- nally. Thusin the middle ages people saw Christians quit their country to devote them- selves to some cathedral which was being built on the banks of a distant river; satisfied with their days work beeause it was fruitful they gazed, when evening came, upon the structure to see how far the work had risen towards God and when after twenty or thirty years of ubsent lobor the cross shone upon the summit, they looked upon it for the last time and taking with them their children and their souvenirs they went uway without leaving their names behind them to dig in peace with the blessed thought of having done something for God. You must, too, be builders of your own characters. You must bring together the stones of good conduct and cemented by noble labor near the ediffice of enlightened virtuous manhooag and womanhood. Keep far aloof from the goal of voluptuousness. Soil not your souls with the ignoble stain of false, fieeting sensual pleasure.

It has frequently been reported of late that row boats on Pokegama lake are bemg taken from their accustomed places by sneak thieves and left along the shore by said thieves whereever happen to disembark. Owners of boats do not take kindly to this condition of affairs and are vigor- ously protesting. Some ot the parties guilty of the offense are known and a continuance of boat stealing will cer- tainly result in arrests and prosecution. One cottager on the lake came to town the other day with pretty good evidence against an offender, and in- teded to swear out a warrant but later considered that the same purpose might beserved by speaking through the Herald—Review.
