alliance. Out of this Lucifer’s coming spring

Vldll'il conschncrs. And through all the first

centur ies of Christianity, fast ’ng, as a religious 
symbol, thongh frequent, was entirely volun-

t‘ll'y; and it was not until the end of the sec-
ond century, that amorig even one sect this re~
ligious ceremony became an ordinance This
sect, calling themselves “Montanists,” Aar‘rer
their leader—a heat-hen converted tn Chris—
tianity, and a religious fanatic—became zeal-
ous :irlvz‘cates of selfmartyrdom. They intro-
duced among themselves the. most iigoious
modes of life and coveted persecution. And
though they were eventually expelled from the
Church, and during the few centuries of their
existence were a distinct sect, the rules thry
had instituted and practiced gradually gained
admittance into the Church itself. The Mon-
tanists bad severely fasted upon every Wed~
nesday and Friday, in commemoration of
the days when Christ was taken prisoner
and crucified, had made a practice of liv-
ing many other days upon dried, uncooked
food, and had annually, and with intense rigor,
celebrated the forty hours during which Christ
lay in the sepulcher; and about the sixrh Cen-
tury the forty hours’ fast had expanded into
the forty days’ fast called Lent and was kept
in the Church itself. But not; until later still
did the keeping of Lent become an ecclesiastical
ordinance, and tasting come to be regarded as
an imperative means of grace.

So much for the gradual growth and estab-
lishment of the Lenten fast in the Church of
Rome. The Greek Church keeps a Lenten fast;
of forty-eight days, and so many 0 her fasts,
all of which are observed with the greatest
severity, that only about one-fourth of the
year, or, perhaps, one hundred days, are not
given up to this religious cbservanCe. How
horribly wicked, to these people of tasting pro-
clivities, must the millions of mortals seem
who are content tzi eat three grioi “square”
meals a day—— if they can get; theml—the year
round! The Jews and Mohammedans, too.
have their friquent fast day 5. But in no
Protestant denomination is fasting obligatory
upon the members of its communion, though
many religious teachers consider fasting a. use-
ful eXerCise preparatory to means of grace.
The Church of England, e~pecially, regards it
as a praiseWorthy, but not an obligatory cas-
tom. Among many Episcopalians, bom—ver,
Lent is as rigorously observed as among the
Greeks and the Romanists.

And, now, “by is Lent, this great spring-
tide fast, still commemorated? As a sanitary
measure, it is certainly excellent. After the
rich and hearty feeding of winter, a few weeks
of plain living, and almOst entire abstinence
from flesh, and gravies, and butter, Will do
more toward («nab inga person to Withstand the
la silude, and disorlers of the stomal-h and blood,
caused by the enervating warmth and dampness
of springtime than a dozen bottles of medicine.
Then, too, the qucter mode of life which Lent
makes obligatory, is a needed rest to pecple
who go largely into society during the winter
months. But, certainly, the world Will wag
its way just about the same, and the living is-
sues of the day will work to their natural and

one undiacth red.

Ir there was half as much wisdom in the
world as learning there would be a dal fewer

The moment a man is known to possess
good common sense, he is not thought much of

Blessed is the man whose youth and old age
are alike full of joyous anticipations.

If good thoughts occupy our hearts and

Foolscap Papers.

THE other evening 1 was sitting in a hotel
office in a neighboring but not a neighborly
t iwn reading a tract which had been given me
by a long-complected man with mild-mannered
spectacles, to get my mind quieted down so I
could go to sleep when I went to bed in a room
that generally has but little sleep for me, and
just as my mind was getting into a coudrtioa
that it was entirely clear of its Conscience, I
became aware of a rattling conversation being
carried on by two satirical drummers who sat
at the hotel stove and dizrn‘t care what they
said, as they were on salary and wanted to

Topics of the Time.

—The chair upon which President Garfield
sat on the grand stand during- the inaugural
ceremony was the same used by Washington in
New York at his inauguration as first President
of the United States.

—The salaries of the officials and employés of
the Govermnent in lVashmgton amount to
more than $6.000,000 per unnum. The regular
payment of $500,000 per month ought to make
local trade in Washington lively.

—The emigration to southern Oregon the
last yea r was large. The climate of that region
is deli rhtful, and high it the tributaries of
the Co umbia is a beauti hi and fertile coun—
try, destined at some time to be thickly popur
lated

 

—-A letter recently received from London-
derry, Ireland, represents business in a very un-
settled and unsatisfactory state owing to apita~
tions over the Land League and new Land Bill,
at present absorbing so much public attention
throughout Great Britain.

-—Most people have always regarded the Ger-
mans as the champion beer drinkers, but now
comes the Journal of Applied Science to prove
that this supposition is false. While the annual
consumption of beer in Germany is 22 gallons
for every person, it is 33 gallons in Belgium, and
34 in Great Britain.

—An Arthahasca (Canada) farmer opened his
potato pit recently to see how the tubers had
stood the cold spell. To his surprise he found it
occupied h hundreds of rats, apparently in a
state of hi ernation. He quickly reclowd the
pit, and expects to realize a bonanza from the
sale of rat-skins to manufacturers of kid gloves.

—Colorado herdsmen complain bitterly of the
past winter. The loss among the herds has
been unprecedented, according to a well-known
stock-dealer; how great it is impossible nowto
compute. The weather has been most severe
and destructive in that part of the State which
lies west and north from Pueblo, and thousands
upon thousands of cattle have been frozen to
death there.

—The Territory which will first be turned
into a State is Dakota, and after her in close
succession New Mexico and Washiu ton. “If
Dakota should be divided, the uortiern part,
which may be called Pembina, will not be far
behind \Vushington. Next in order of admjs
sion will probably be Montana and Arizona.
Idaho, Utah and Wyoming are not likely to
come in during the next ten or fifteen years.”

—Au old Ruby Hill miner who has had fifteen
years’ experience under ground, say 3 he has ob.
served one peculiar fact,that between 12 and 2
o’clock in the night, if there is a loose stone or
hit of earth in the mine, it is sure to fall. Says
he: “About this time it seems that: everything
begins to stir, and immediatoly after 12, al-
though the mine has been as still as a tomb be—
fore, you will hear particles of rock and earth
come tumbling down, and if there is a caving
piece of ground in the mine it is sure to giVe
way.”

—Tbe work of restoring Palestine to the pos-
session of the Jews drags along so slowly that
the receipt of $200 to help a Jew ish colony near
J affa. is chronicled as an im portant item in the
history of the movement. This sum has been
raised by some Jews in Chicago, who have
formed a society for the purpose of raising mo-

Black Hawk lood. For a working horse the best
stock is now considered to be the Norman or Per-

circumstances, and greatly esire to get acquainted

seeking an acquaintance, and one which few young
ladies would think of noticing. But if you wish to
merit a reply write a straightforwanl note, free
from flattery, stating where you saw the ladv and
how you have heard of her, and that you desire an
acquaintance. Then describe your own antece-
