Brair, June 29, > tha Editor of Trx Bk The past week the religious eloment Bunday at our quiet little town has been exer- | cised over the first the town wa fourteon year excursion enioyed sine wized, now The excarsionists on Sunday jacked four ear: aha & 8 sk sharp and coaches of the Ow Paul railroad, and at 9 « the train pulled out for Oakland, the | N Quaeen City of the far-famed L valley. The day was spent in Oak's grove, about one-half mile south of the depot, in music, dancing, beer ver drinking, singing, exhortation, p and preaching, the party dividing their time from these selections as best suited their respective tastes. Blair in the meantime was depopu- lated, not a score even gathered at any one of the numerous churches. The laymen were sad and the minis ters improved the occasion both in the public press and from the pulpit to disparage this, the first Sunday gala day. To an impartial observer the success of this new departure was no ocewsion for surprise. The citi- zens of Blair, second to none, per- haps, in the state in point of worth, intelligence, culture aud practical re- ligion, have cven extended all due cordinlity and respect to their ent spiritual guides and even re tolerate rambling itinerants of tender years, while they attempt counsel to their groy-haired seniors, Put Biair, unfortunately like many another fron: tier western town, has at times been luckless in her selections ot spiritual teachers, the blind have too cften at tempted to load those whose eyes were at least partially open, Of all forme of hypoerisy none is so damaging and damning us that of the man who in the guise of a spiritual Jeader cloaks his cvimes under a roligious mantle. Not loug since a most eloquent min- ister filled one of our prominent pul- pits, and nightly, ere the echo of the doxology and the sound of his parting benediction died away, he was en- twined in the arms of a noted harlot At last public indignation was aroused and the pair departed. The next and more recent case wae that of clergy- man of respectable pretentions, who the past year deliberately forged with his own right hand, the name of a member of his church, and on tha forged paper drew from the American Board ot Home DMissions, of New ck, four hundred dollars, when the crime (which had it occurred amo! the “‘wicked of this world”) would have promtly consigned the perpetrator to| a felon’s_cell within prison walls), the calpriv instead of being denounced by his church and cast out was quietly, Guiteau-like, removed and his perfidy rded by an appointment as gener- ole agent for Nebraska, Wyomi and Colorado, succeeding tho venera- ble Rev. Mr. McCandlish of your own city, and to-day the voice of thescoun- drel clothed in a holy garb furnished by the American Biblo society of New York, is sounding in the ears of the poor sinful cattlo and bonanza kings and the cowboys, and hardy moun- taineers of Wyoming and Colorado, Is it indeed, any wonder Mr. Kditor, that the good, pious people of Blair seck to escapo from the sound of ro- lizious teachers given over to whore- dom and rascality, and instead, flock to the Sunday excarsion trains to cel ebrate in groves sweet with the holy incense of heaven’s breezes! “‘G.” | Clear Water Orops.

The country around is both beautiful to the eyo aud good to own, as the bountiful crops will attest, Corn i the ““legal tender,” and the acrenge is about double that of any past year, owing to the fact that the older farmers have planted far in ex- cess, and pew farms are being opened and planted to corn, or sown to small grain, viz: Wheat, oats, flux, onions, ete, The potatos crop planted is im- mense. If the yield comes up to the present appearance, the old country will find a small show for their sur- plus potatoes The past week has been quite an onsis in this precinet, (Mills). The Sabbath echools concluded to nave a a jubilee, and they did on the 28th, and such a time!

More people work thoem- Ives into the hospital or the uru\ in a large city than anywhere clso. wuch larger number of men uml\.w.' down by hard work in middlo lifo can | be found in cities than in the count The people in the middle or lower| walks of life in a great cityare obliy l‘ to subject themselves to arigid cours If-denial all the time. Thero is always something to seey hear, or taste that they can not have. A who goes from the city to the co is ordinarily obliged 1o work g naliving, and to conduct with great propriety in ord quire a reputation and ment, It is wise and well to encourags the disporition of boys to remain in the country and to live on farms, provid- ing they have the taste for agricul- tural pursuits and the proper physical and mental requirements for « oe- cupations. The pleasures of conntry life have been suug by all the pocts from David to Longfellow. Novelists have never tired of deseribing the line characters they have found in the countr, The ecity painter beto himself to the trec-covered hills, the grassy helds, the singing brooks, and the bird-haunted groves when | wishes to portray what is beautifu Statistics show that vastly more peo- ple live in their own houses in the country than in the city. In an agri cultural community nearly every man is engaged in independent occupation, while the reverse 18 true in any of our large cities. Buesides, failures” among farmers are very rare and hardly ever occur unless they are the results of speculations. Peoplo in the country are at least measurably from the horrors of contagious diseases and from great calamities resulting from fires, floods, and the general stagna: tion of business which 1s ofton attend- ed by strikes and riote, Life and property are more secure in the coun- try than in the city. No matter whethor stocks ave rising or falling, whether rents sre high or low, wheth- er currency is scarce or plenty, the man who owns the farm ho tends will generally raise enough to supply the wants of his family and to meet the demands of the tax-gatherer. In timos of ealumity people in cities envy the lot of those iu the country, When the “‘heated term” comes on the own- ers of fine houses in the city are glad to forsake them for the pléasures af- forded by a modest cottago in tho sely every man who toils 10 got rich in a city looks forward to the day when he can own a ) in the ceuntry, . It does not follow, however, that all boys who are raised on farms should remain thero, M boys were mneyer ‘‘eut out” for and no amount of work in up will ever make good fa of them, They are better at figuring than at fenciug; botter at steamboat than a plow; better at sell- ing than producing; better at hand- ling dry goods than stowing away 1 They may be farm work, I @ o aiding a kward at any ki it they may be » which they are engaged, They set bad examples, and injure the land they should improve.
