THERE was a surprise sociable at the Riverside House on Wednesday even­ ing of last week, given In honor of and regard fur Rev. B. Brunning and wife, bv the members of the Unlversallst congregation, wlth^some friends of other churches. This shows the high regard in which these active and in­ dustrious people are held In our midst There were about seventy present, and the company made It In the high­ est degree a social indeed. The mat­ ter was very shrewdly managed, W. H. Ford and lady baying with apparent innocence invited the pastor to tea with them, with a view to spending the evening. The large company by arrangement very quietly entered the front parlor while the pastor and lady were back lb the private apartments of mine host. At an opportune mo­ ment they were invited to come Into the "front room" when the doar was thrown open upon a crowd of genial friends. From that time on, joy reigned supreme. In due time baskets irere unpacked, refreshments were In order, and all partook of an elegant collation. Happiness was the pre-emi­ nent feature all the way through. We are authorized te say that Rev. and Mrs. Brunning highly appreciate the honor, good feeling arid social joy of the occasion, and will remember It with great pleasure.

MORE towns die for the want of con fidence on the part of business men and lack of public spirit than from the rivalry of neighboring towns or ad­ verse surrounding. When a man In search of a home or a location gfte« to a place and everything Is brim full of hope and enthusiasm over prospects of the place and earnestly at work to build up the town, be soon become Imbued with the same spirit, aud as a result he drives down his stake and goes to work with the same Interest. When, however, be goes to a town and everyone expresses doubt and appre­ hension In the futnre prosperity of the place, moping about and Indulging In mourning complaints about imaginary ev|ls which are likely to befall the the town, he naturally feels that It Is no place for him, and at onoe shakes the dust from his feet, while he pulls wltb all possible speed for some other town. Consequently, try and make a live, enterprising, progressive town out of the one In wbloh yoalive.

We recently bad the pleasure of be­ ing conducted through those yards by the genial proprietor, G. W. Pratt. The breeding pens are situated on the top of an abrupt bluff overlooking Bangs' Lake, the yards for the same running down the bank to the water's edge, and the pens that are devoted to the raising of ducks and geese extend out into the lake. The season -has not begun as yet, although one brood of Wyandotte chicks which were making futile efforts to keep under the old hen and make her stand up high enough fer them to eat, were noticed, and we suggested tbe advisability of putting them back In the shell until warmer weather. After looking at the three pens of Wyandottes we were shown a 1 >t of Black Cochins, which were beau­ ties, and their heavily feathered legs show them to be well bred. They are undoubtedly the best lot of tbls breed in the coucty. In aa adjoining coop was a brood of Seebrights, and not far removed from here was a pen of tbe best Brahmas to be found. They are of the Duke of Tork strain and are a magnificent lot of fowls. On the shore were a lot of Pekin ducks which have just commenced laying. Mr. Pratt had more orders for these ducks last year than be was able to fill, and Intends to raise more this season. A flock of red Games were then shown, headed by tbe magnificent cock, Toung Robin Hood, a high-priced bird, purchased of W.. E. Walden, Watervleet, Mich. He Is a fine bird, wltb a clean cut, snake­ like bead, and has extraordinary length of limb. In tbe same building were a pen of pure black Tartars, oae of whieh Is sold and will be shipped to Pacific, Iowa. In a vacant pen stands a large Success Hatcher and a bono grinder. 8Mr. Pratt Intends making extensive alterations and additions to bis yards the comlag spring, to muot tbe de­ mands of his rapidly increasing busi­ ness, which has thus far been very suc­ cessful.^ He never has any sickness among bis fowls; using preventives al­ most constantly, to guard against tbe approach of disease.--LibertyviUe Call.

I wonder, my dear, what yon thought tbls Sunday--morning, when yea awoke and looked out to find this grand old world al| tressed op in her winter Mother Hubbard again; when you felt the north wind racing around every corner with its armfulls ot cloud flowers and missed the usual serenade by a band ot gay young songsters. Alas for flckle March! She has made us believe that she had stolen In thro' Spring's gates disrob. ed of all winter garments. 8h* has been smiling at us ever and ever so many days; wooed the violet's leaves from their winter retreat and coaxed the robins from their southern home. Last night she frowned on US with her cloudies t brow and then as if re* pentant began shedding frozen tears. Were you, like me, still earnestly wishing that • kindly southern breath would make war with these snow flakes by dawn, when Morpheus lisped you in his arms? The happy birds that have been building a summer house above my wind>w, and calling me from dream 'and as soon as the first golden streaks were Childrens'Pviaibie in the east, have flown toother lands. It's a genuine winter's day--nothing to tell us that Spring is ever coming except the oal endar. Yet after all wise heads have always tried to convince me that we appreciate noth- ng until it is beyond our grasp. That antic­ ipation is the dearest page in life's book. I do not believe it. I know that should some angel's wand change every flake into a lily with a diamond heart, before night closes in, it would be just as fair and just as sweet to me as tho' I had waited a century wishing and hoping. So if this capricious month would give to us all the gems of rosy June before she dies or even a breath of bonny May I doubt that I shall indulge in anticipations or longings for telrer days and it would de­ tract none of the beauty from the flowers to know that they grew and blossomed in a sin­ gle day, neither would it lessen my apprecla. tlonof them for they are truly one of the brightest rays of whole life.
