FROM "WYANDOT DEWDROP." She Discusser Point of Criticism and Adds Nime lttMiiiioii TliouiglitH. Dear Friends ok II. L. C la somewhat of a critical mood I am led to ppeak on criticism, though, aware critic are not favorites in thU society or elsewhere. I think we do not Btop to consider the full ralue of criticism, and unle-8 we are severely criticised we do not regard critisism in a bad liht at alL It is the easit thins in the world to criticise. It does not require learning, f-kill or genius, but just every-day common clay will answer the purpose as well. And don't wo all avail ourselves of the privilege? From the president down to tne boot-black, everybody is criticised and commented on. If nobody criticises you then you are of no account, net worth anybody's notice. The best people in the world like to find fault It seems to be human nature for everybody to indulge the opinion that they could do auch better than the one in question ; they can see the shortcomings and pick out the Haws with unerring precisiou. Haven't we, beard people express the opinion that they could have Diadd the world on a ruore approved plan and could run it better than it ia run it" they only had a chance? -orne peoplo lay they would have no euch tiling aa winter in a world of their construction, bat summer the year round land birdd and flowers and a moon every night. And Dtber people would not have any summer in their world, heat ia so weakening, oppressive and tiresome and engenders indolence. Thus it can b seen how utterly impossible it ia to please everybody. Every man finds fault with his neighbor and the way he manages his household affairs and complains oi his neighbor's children growing up wild and reckless, livery woman criticiaea bar neighbor's dresd, her equipage end her furniture; finds fault with her Loupe, the fiie of her rooms and the decoration of her parlor ana the way ehe pets her children. The school teacher ahjo cornea in for a share of criticism ; each family lias a suggestion to make that would improve the school, and how much letter it would be than it now is ; and the Siinister in the pulpit is not forgotten, hia lermons are too long or too short, or dull tnd monotonous ; tho church is too large !or the congregation or has not the proper rentilatkm, the singing is too high or too ow and the members are so still' and formal, that one goes to church to teseen and tbe other one to see, and another one to criticise. Criticism eeetns inherent in the human race and we have no fault to find with it; doubtteM it remedies many evils; mankind writhes under it. and a well known writer r-aya "tbe fear of what people will say" does mors to keep the world moral than anything eUe. Yet it ia one of the greatest abnurditiea as well as evils to govern ourselves and our conduct by what people will say. To give up to the world and to the ridicule with which the world enforces iU dominion every trifling question of life and appearance would be tossing courage and firmness to the winds, nd. like a football, we would be kicked hither and thither by every thoughtless peraon that chanced our way, and by our pliablaness we wouid not pit&se anybody. We would have no etamina and no character, and our life we could not call oar own; how foolish it would be to blend with every wave of popular opinion, and shape oar destiny thereby. Children and young people hould be taught from their eariiuot days to insure their principles against the perils of ridicut, and to exercise reason and judgment ia their conduct and life. If we live in the constant dread of laughter we can no more enjoy life than if we live in the constant fear of death. If yon think it right to differ from the tin? s and to take a decided itaud for any

point of morality, do it however rustic or oid-faehioned it may apperr to other eyes. J)o it not for notoriety, but '"seriously and grandly, as a man who wore a houl of his own in hia bosom and did not wait until it was breathed into him by the breath of fashion." Let people jeer and call you queer if

I they will, but rpistance will eoon convert I unprincipled wit into sincere respect, and 1 no after time can tear awav from vou these noble feeling4 of a successful exertion in a righteous caue. W rather like criticism, but not habitual critics. We cannot play at criticism and be harmless; every word we have spoken to man, woman or child has gone out and will come back again usually in the spirit it was sent forth. We cannot be too careful in guarding against caving anything hastily i we do not mean, hut nn'u In-foro thinking: our slightest word may be the means of making r marring 60ine one's life. Criticism, liko many other habits, usually bt'gius at home. W'j have seen at the fireside the critic on the throne of criticism condemning the whole household in a self-righteous spirit. Many people all unconsciously fad into the habit of criticising, not with any unkindnesa, but wish to show how they under the circumstances would have done much better. No doubt criticism does much good in the world, its friction rubs oil" tho tharp corners of many evils and elevate? the tiiora's of a community and people that otherwise would degrade. Again, I say, do not be tossed to and fro by what pt-o-ple ma' sav. He sure you are right, then remain "linn as the rock of tiibraltar." Am highly pleased with the selection of the Columbian city for the reunion and anticipate a never to be forgotten time. 1 should like rO much a pioneer poem, or, in other words, will be phased to rereivs) through the medium of the ''page" any selection of copied or original verses pertaining to pioneer life among the Indiana. Who cf the II. L. C. will fa or my rejUt'Rt? Little Nuisance. I read with deep rvpret the crumbling to a.-hes of tour lovely j home, and bare often thought of all the I pad incidents of life. It would be eal inI deed to fctand by and watch the llaiaes devour our home. I pympathi.e with youreelf and 'Iven." With greetings for all and a bright wish for the success of the Chicago reunion I am, as ever, 'Vyaniot Dewimku." DRUMMOND'S BOOK ONCE MORE. "IlawkeyeN" Answer to Portion of "Hownrr'' Kec-riit Criti-iin. Ihn Timt Sw.um You say you are sur. prised at ray criticism of Drummond's "Natural Law in the Spirit World." I read the work very carefully. I had Iiis "I.ovo the Greatest Thing in the World," and was so delighted with it that I eent for this, and read the preface and introduction with pleasure and but little objection. I thought he ought to have named it 'Spiritual Law in the Natural World." On page he says, "So the spiritual world becomes slowly natural ; and the natural world becomes alowly spiritual." "Nature is not a mere image or emblem of the epiritual. It ia a working, model of the spirita!." "The earth is crammed with heaven, and every bush afire with (rod." l'aga 47 he saya, "Aa the natural laws are continuous through the universe of matter and of space, as will they be continuous through the universe of spirit." .Same page: "Many of the natural laws have no connection whatever with the spiritual world." I call this a plain contradiction. Again, page 50, he says: "At tho beginning of natural life we find the law that natural life can only come from pre-existing natural life." So there ia no natural man now, and never has been, only as he came from pre-existing natural man. Tage 57 ho pays "to call this a material world is an absurdity." So then to call man a material, as natural man, is also an absurdity. So man is not "born of the Ueah," but the spirit. There was no "pre-existing" "flesh" for him to be born of. I'aes 72 and 73: "The spiritual man is more distinct in point of fact (from the natural man) than is the plant from 1 ho stone." "Compared with the deference between the natural and the spiritual the culf which divides the organic from the inorganic is a hair'sbreadth." "The natural man ia endowed simply with high quality of the natural animal lite, But it is life of so poor a quality that it is not life at all." Where was this "pre-existing poor quality of life?" where "tho antecedent poor life?" "The barrier which separates kingdoms from ono another restricts mind not lees than matter." "No organic change, no modification of environment, no mental energy, no moral ell'ort, no evolution of character, no progress of civilization can endow any ninglo human soul with the attribute of spiritual life." "Nor is the natural man refused admission on unexplained grounds. Ilia admission is a scientific impossibility." The natural man cannot receive the things of the spirit of God ; neither can he know them, ile must be born again, and is as helpless as a stone, a plant, or an animal. On page 71 he save -. "Regeneration haa not been an outstanding dilliculty, but an overhelming; obscurity." Mania helpless as a etone, "Degeneration is the possibility of life embraced by the majority of mankind." "More difficult still is the life of upward growth." "Men attempt it for a time and despair overtakes them, while the good ia far awav." "Defeneration is eniv." "Why 7" "Already in each man's very nature this principle ia supreme." "lie feels within his soul a silent drifting motion impelling him downward with irresistible force." Pages So and Hii. And then say thin is because "he simply let his life run." Bocaute he neglected to rise to life beyond

his capacity, or ability. He is not concious of n lack. Does not see the "black culf," like the stone don't know any better, but, "it is patent to every one who considers even the natural bearings of the case, that the end of theso things is Death." Does a stone consider? And will a wise, lovin r God land it in the hell

of a neglected life? Tage S7: "There is in every liviug organie jj a law of Death." "The natural tendency of everything is to die. This is their nature, the forcee of nature are ministers of death," "This law. which is true for the whole plant world, ia also valid for the animal and for man." "Air ia not life, but corruption." "Life is merely a temporary suspension of these destructive powers." So I suppose the devil must be the ruler and Go t subordinate in this world, and as these natural laws rule in the spiritual world it must be t-o there. And yet, "how shall wo escape" if we fail to use the functions we do not possess and cannot reach? I'age hS. Well, words cannot do this page justice and I will quit. I have read the book over again, a great part of it two or three times, othera probably a dozen times. And the more I study it the more its absurdity, sophistry and self-contradictions appear. He eays: "I'.ut wo find that this old theology is scientific." Nothing new. Paul, Augustine. Calvin, Newman ail taught the samedoctrine. The predestined btone, plant, animal or man, infant, or old age, muet inevitably work out its doom, in line of the nature that it possessed, and not of its own choosing. He boasts of his living in Christ, or Chric-t living in the Christian, and dooms nil others to degeneration, decay and death, and to the "hell of a neglected life." I have been over all his ground, felt every experience he mentions, reioiced in his faith, hia salvation, his Christ within. Have never given up a Rood, or helpful promise, or encouraging assurance, or hopeful, loving aspiration. I know what it is, and how, Christ ia in the Christian. And 1 have gone further than this, and found that (Jod ia in Hia creatures, and that there is no respect ot persons with Him. All are made out of the same lump of clay. "A dispensation of the epirit is given to every mau for his profit." (iod had no poorer spirit or life to give to one man than another. He had nothing but His ofru infinite life to breathe into man. We are all His workmanship, all reaching up to life and immortality. And in a way corresponding with the power (Iod has jiven and the power we exercise, we make progress. We often do not know how nor why, but it is better to tako the supreme law that Jesus gave us, the law of love, ea an explanation of it all. than to run into such wild speculation as Druniinond, Calvin or Augustine gave us, to confuse and discourage ad ellbrt to do good. "Love, the greatest thing in the world," was quite a help to me, but I ieel like this book ia so bad I would rather never have seen one of Drummond's books. I do not like to read or discuss the "if I srifnHjlr'' doctrine of fatality, predestination, election, reprobation, etc., even if tho supply of brimstone is about exhausted, and the babiea are not counted now in taking the census of tbe infernal regions. And thia book is the worst form of thesfl old degrading dogmas I ever saw: and l'rummond doea not even believe them himself. seo bottom of page 77, and a hundred other places, fw pelf-contradictory. With kind regards for all, and an enrnest deeire for truth to prevail, I leave the fcubjett. Hawkeye. PROGRESS. The OKI and the New an Looked nt by "TusuinWiii." Dear Howards Ureat improvementa mark the Might of tiino. The stupendous achievements of art and ecienco are revolutionizing these mundane chores. King money's boundless resources are brought in requisition to establish, mammoth factories for the manufacture of countless agricultural implements and eolf binders, dispensing with the services of hosts of laborers. Obscure villages are thickly doited with 6tately tin plate, furniture and plate g'.ass emporiums, hell aggrandizement is the principal motive power that propels these colossal enterprise?. The old log cabin of the sturdy toil-enured pioneer, through the crevices of which stern poverty peered in and took on invoice of the rude furniture constructed by unskilled labor, is replaced with the sumptuous mansion of wealth and opulence, replete with all tbe conveniences and luxuries of modern times. The old log school house with its breakneck appendages has yielded to the innovations of stately temples of erudition; glittering and refulgent gems of knowledge are dispensed there; science and philosophy marvelously advance the young ideas; great improvements from the ancient methods of imparting instruction mark the accelerated and impetuous advance of the golden epoch. Where aro theillimitablo swamps that bore upon their mighty bosom myriads of frogs making night hideous w ith their discordant notes; those numerous ponds, slashes and swamps of transparent water of brilliant yellow, rife with miasma and the germs of the dreaded ague, and teeming with musical mosquitoes, thai dense clouds of smoke alone could put to flight; whose placid waters of fabulous depth tho undaunted hunter waded in quest of the "ead-eyed coon," the savory 'poseum and wild hog and deer, browsing on their marshes, have been converted into alluvial meadows and mammoth fields, pendant with enormous ears of corn. The hooting of the owl, the weird and plaintive nott-s of the ravenous wolf, dread depredator and fearful decimater of the sheepfold, are no longer heard in the hallowed valea of fair Indiana. iorgeous church edifices of architectural b'-auty, grandeur and magnificence, rear their stately spires in tbe vast regions, and stretches of territory once iufested by beasts of prey, roaming at will through the mighty forests, the sweet refrains and transporting anthems of the organ and piano, and festive violin, dow enliven the regions once vocal with tbe symphonies of the insects, birds and beasts enumerated. Progress, giant strides of advancement, and vast improvement are visible throughout Indiana's elysian and alluvial vales; divers rural, village and city ceiueteries, alone bear iudellible beacons of gro-s negligence, sadly at variance with thö prowess of a grand and overtowering commonwealth that glories in taking the lead in all manner of grand displays and glittering equipages, that never tirea in boasting of her unrivaled educational facilities, of her magnificent state house, almost vieing with the dazzling gorgeousness of Solomon's temple, and the admiration of AE1 Si HAPPY! 3 m s tm Relieved me of a severe Wood trouble.

Many thanks, Jessia Clyde, for your criticism. "Tl'sclmhia." A DOVE RETURNS TO THE ARK. "Hen Hur" und Soint r the Idcns Obtained from tli Hook. Dear Howard Friends I'erhapa tew if anr have missed me from the I'ae, as my visits are few and far between, but I am one amonz the many who would rather read than to write. It is bo much more ditlicult to prepare the foo l than to cat what eome one else has prepared, but I do not admire or esteem any one who eeeks to live o.f other people's labor, it they are capable of performing anything for themselves, so with the one talent I try to do all I can, hoping for an improvement in the future. I lately read a book entitled, "Ben Ilurr, or The Tale of a Christ," written by Gen. Lew 'Wallace. He was aeked by Col. Bob IngerRoll why he knew that Jesus Christ ia the son of God, and certainly there was too much contained in the question to be answered right then and there, and that furnished the occasion for him to write the book. I will give in brief the particular points I understand him to teach, and if I am wrong it ia an easy thing for some one to correct me: The first thing is, that there is an Almighty lieing that guides and controls the destinies of men and angels. He proves this by relating the history of our Savior coming into the world. The peculiar circumstances under which lie should Le born, and that uncommon star that appeared at the time of his birth, and how the wise men were led to the very place. These men were a part, if not all of them, astrologers, and knew the movements of the heavenly bodies. They, as well as the Jews, w;re looking for a new king. The former expected a redeemer and savior of the world, but it seems that the greater part of the Jews only looked for a temporal or woridly king that should restore to them their government which was under the Ilomans at that time. Ttie spiritual kingdom was as total darkness to moit of them which led them to the conclusion that Christ was an impostor. The writer teaches that all the prophecies were fulfilled concerning the Savior, and that in due eenson he came. You that doubt the divinity of Christ, rea l "Hen liar," and you that do not, read it, for it is a royal feast to the believers. Not that 1 prize any book above the bible but there are so many people who won't take an interest in reading this book of books. The writer seema to be familiar with the Holy Lands and also the manners and customs of the people. One other point that is worthy of comment is that of true and false love, showing the purity and sincerity of one, and the deep-seated deceit and falsity of tho other, which I understand tbe first to mean the humble and true believer in Christ, which will be blesfed in the end; the other the unbeliever and persecutor of the Nar.arene and hia followers, which hath no promise of any good. This is but n brief mention of tbe book. I hope no injustice has been done, for it is not rieht to misconstrue the meaning of another's language. I am glad our executive committee has decided where it will hold trie reunion. 1 expect to be among the number if possible. Thanks to those who gave me a welcome and I send a cordial wolcome to all. "White Dove." Petersburg, Ind., April 24. AN IMPORTANT MATTER, Promptneti "lf to Secure Quarters at the Columbian 1 xpoMlhjiu To the Howard (7i.cn The chairman ot the oxecutivo committee again begs leave to call the attention of the members of tho club to a recent letter to the pago concerning the advancing of monoy to secure quarters at Chicago for reuuion duringthe world'i fair. I do not think the membors of the club are awaro of the necessity of at once acting upon this subject. I have as yet received but $0 of the $50 required. I think there are many who will attend, bot each one is waiting for tome one pise to respond. I aay it i? necessary to act at once as the house may be rented to other partita at . any moment, and if

we should lose tbe chance we might not be able to Eecure any other suitable quarters for our reunion. Allow me to again urge the members to action. The chairman of the excommittee is not in a position where ho can take the time to write personal lettars to every member of the ciub. Therefore tho members wid greatly obliee the committee if they will at once remit $2, necessary for securing quarters. In case tbe parties do not attend, money will be refunded. And if thoy do attend the amount is credited on their expenses at reunion. Money may be remitted to chairman executive committee. Out of a membership of nearly :U0 sure'v we can find twenty-five who will remit 52. I'ieasa let tbis suffice to bring in the required amount. Occasional Visitor." Chairman Executive Committee. Greencastle, Ind., April 24, 1802. THE WASTE OF MANHOOD.

Extracts From a ltecent Discourse 1y the Kev. Dr. Clvrlaml. To the Howard Clcb The following extract is from a sermon preached by tbe Kev. Dr. Cleveland .Sunday, April 23, 1SD3, at the Meridian-st. znethodist episcopal church in tbis city. His text was a pait of Matthew X.Ü., 12, and his subject was "Manhood." I feel very eure that the readers of the "II. L. C." columns will appreciate thia extract: "The most serious waste is the waste of manhood. A nation exists for naught if it does not produce great men. Babylon fell because she did not produce manly men, and today her former glory is a lurking placo for devils, the did not produce manly men and is forgotten. The garners of Sicily are empty, but the bees still fetch honey from the little garden of Theocritus. Tennyson could not have existed without Theocritus. "When Greece and Home and Judea no longer produced great men they perished. Nations which live for riches and not for men sink into oblivion. All things are for manhood, and those who make machines and trust companies, but destroy men, have no reason for existence. If it contributes to the growth of men, then it does its work. To make one such man as l'iato, Washington, Enrereon or Lowell, the commonwealth would do well if it did nothing else for a thousand years. The world ia God's kindergarten for the training of men. We don't know what we can do till we try. Stupidity is for the most part indolence. We are God'e relatives, and a growinu man is close to (Iod. Don't get discouraged. You haven't got some things, but there aro lots of thinss that you have eot. Then be alert, and alive, and grow, and develop. If ghosts are dead people walking about, the world is already too full of them. There ia no tame goodncßs in the world. There is much that is simply animal indulgence, ripening into 6tupidity. The heaven of the new testament is the place beiugs come out of. They are active and moving, and that is what is needed to develop mankind." Bex Akdys. When C'louri Are Dark.

My heart prows sal When I rell-ct upon my future goaL My life is dark n. liüht pours in my soul ; While far buueath the awful gloom woe Yawns for its victims, yet my (iod wlli aare rne And take this heart, this erring heart, be save me.

I dreado i thy appearance once, but now I long to h'jarthoe whisper, "Come, Ocomo!" Then fare thee woll, O life, we now must sever, I to reside in death's cool shades forever. ALZIXA EMS WKtTO.V. Wilbur, Ind., April 27. April. I?ut yesterday the brijjUt gnn shone In Iueid beauty from the skies, Sweet Spring embraced tho wintry zone And bade the tenior plants arise.

Today as shiverinz by the fire, I pit in contemplative ruoo 1, I hear the winds in savag ire Go howling through tho solitude. Thus 'tis with life our lam y takes I s forth where many blossoms wave, Kut when tomorrow's son awakes Our hopes are slumbering in the grave. Alzina Emü: Wintox.
