THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT BY A. J. HILL. ~ Friday. June 8, 1883. Adams Count) Sabbath School Cooweoliou. The convention met June sth, in the M. E. church, and was called to order by Rev. Teague. Religious services were conducted by Rev. J. Bruckert, of Preble township. Delegates were present from Root, Preble, Kirkland, Washington, St. Marys, Blue Creek, Wabash and Jefferson townships and the city of Decatur. The county president being absent, on motion Rev. Teague was made president pro tern, and Dr. Slirock and Rev. Dustman, secretaries. The usual committees were appointed. Rev. Sprunger, of Berne, made en interesting address on the subject: “The best incentives to parents, young people and children to attend the Sabbath school” Others followed with valuable suggestions. The subject, “The blackboard in the Sabbath school,” was considered by Rev. Bruckert and others. Its judicious use was generally recommended, after which the convention adjourned until tbe afternoon. Devotional exercises were conducted at two o’clock by Rev. Dustman. Miss Sallie Osborn, of Geneva: read an admirable paper on the subject, “Infant class teaching,” which was heard with most earnest attention. Both as a literary production and as a discussion of tbe subject, it was par excellence. The convention, by a unanimous vote, requested her to furnish a copy of the paper to one of our city papers for publication. Rev. Dustman address the convention on “Opening and closing exercises for the school,” developing some good points. Au excellent paper on “The relation of the Sabbath school to the church,” was read by Rev. Wood, of the United Brethren church. The paper was worthy a place on the programme of a state convention. It is seldom our privilege to hear as fine a discussion of the important subject it contained. The convention also requested that, if possible, it be published.

Rev. Teague was called by the con vention to speak on the subject ‘ Should persons attend more than one school.” The answer was no, from the following considerations. Ist—A division of interest is detrimental, 2d—lt creates confusion in the members really belonging to a school; 3d— No teacher can sufficiently impress the scholar, nor adopt a system in teaching, to such as are migratory: 4th— It gives rise to local prejudices, jealousies and invidious comparisons and rivalries which are detrimental: sth— It takes children too much from the home on the Sabbath, and also from their own church, to which parents and children should be first devoted. The convention was in harmony with these sentiments. On motion, Rev. Teague was made permanent president, Dr. Shrock and Rev. Dustman permanent secretaries, and G. W. A. Luckey treasurer for the county convention until the next regular meeting. The evening session was not largely attended on account of the weather. Religious services by Rev. Reynolds. Very interesting addresses were made by Revs. Wood and Reynolds, and the meeting was profitable. It is hoped, however, that our people will take a greater interest in the county work and its conventions. Every county vice-president should this summer look to the interests ofhis respective township in the Sabbath school work. A W«bm*i Experience. Mothers and daughters should feel alarmed when weariness constantly oppresses them. “If lam fretful from exhaustion of vital powers and the color is fading from my face. Parker’s Ginger Tonic gives quick relief. It builds me up and drives away pain with wonderful certainty.”—Buffalo lady. Married. At the Miesse House, June Ist, by the Rev. M. A.

It is the best article sold for restoring gray hair to its original color, beauty and lustre. The strawberry social at the M. E. church, with its literary and musical features, made the occasion a pleasant one for all who attended.

[ We were handed the following paem by our old friend, the authoi, John , French. It shows clearly tbe hardships of early pioneer life, and no doubt many old residents can testify to this . truth from their own experience:] o the Farmer* ol Welle Couutr. A farmer's forest life, 1 owe, has many charms for me ' hive ear, my friend, awhile and the wherefore you shall see. He first selects a tract of land, mid birds and blossoms fair, l And settles in his mind his home shall now be there; Erects a neat log cabin, out in the open Woods—- ■ Has neither stock nor cash, nor much of household goods: But hopes of better days gives strength unto his arm, And long and hard he labors to clear him up a farm. His clothes are coarse and common, and scanty, too, at that; But instead of getting poor, he is rather getting fat. Toil gives him a good relish and sweetene t his repose, For change and recreation to the forest now he goes. f With his rifle on his shoulder, and with Jowler by hie side, The space between him and his home is t soon made very wide. He scours both hid and valley for turkey, bear and dear; Returns al night quite weary, with lots of merry cheer—(sometimes.) . His wife and little ones, all smiling and all fair, > Now hasten out to meet him, and sooth his 1 brow with care. His tea, perhaps of sasafras, of spice-bush or of sage, I Has long been waiting, but goes first-rate, 1 11 venture to engage. i For 37] cents he d toil all day in summei, 1 And keep as busy, too, at that as any little drummer. I He'd sell his corn at sixteen cents, not always sure of that, * And pork §1.25 that was all rolling fat. With tow and linen pantaloons, and hat of chip or straw, We lived upon equality and seldom went Co law i Our corn we ground in Laud-mills to make our bread and mush; ' And often went round all barefoot—o, hush, hush. Our wives, our sons and daughters could fare but 1 ittle better — > Tie what lam saying, mv friends, true to [ the very letter — For fifty cents per week was all onr gala could git; They thought a chance like that a very happy hit. ( Six cents per pound for butter, and eggs 1 three cents per doxen, . The highest price to be obtain'd from merchant, friend or cousin. ' In striped linen or linsey dress, they'd cut 3 a merry dash, Which they had spun and wove and made without a dime in cash. 1 I Lave tried thus far to picture a forest life, And now return again to the farmer and his wire, To dwell on their privation many long years ago— Listen, wy dear young friends, ifyou really wish to know. ■ All clad in coarse, plain homespun, and neater than a pink, He takes his family to church to worship i God, and think About their future home in a clime more bright and fair. Then cons ecrates himself anew to God by faith and humble prayer. Young lady and young gentleman, you scarce begin to know The dangers, toils and hardships we had to undergo tn c.-'aringup this country, that s now so bright and fair, Which you from us inherit, without a seeming care. Ab! where are those hardy pioneers, who early settled here!' Most of them gone, and very soon the last will disappear. I, too, am frail and getting old, and soon must pass away. Hell, be it so; 1 am content since I have seen this day. Forty-five years have passed away,—years of change and toil, — Since I first settled in your midst and purchased of your soil. 'Twas then a howling wilderness, with scarce one stick amiss; Nor did I then begin to dream of seeing a day like this. Stick to these farms, youug men, improve and keep them nice, They will yield you health and plenty and keep you out of vice. The rush for learned professions is rushing into strife, And oft is reached at the price of happiness for life. And now a kind and parting word to little girls and boys: Seek God in early youth for pure substantial joys. Young men and women soon you'll be and have to fill our places, I trust with pure and honest hearts and smiling, happy faces. This is precisely the way I commenced an this country, as Wm. Studabaker, Caleb Truax, John Lian and Boweu Hale will testify. So good by. Jobs G. Fbench. The County Superintendent of pubachools will be in his office Mondays cf each week until further no’ c >.
