It wns the wettest year with one exception that had over been known in Iowa. People saw that tliey could travel and carry goods by steam boat , and so they were crazy for boats. Dur ing tlio year certain parties of Fort Dodge contracted for a lijcut draft boat built on tin Mononguhclu river , which came round to DCS Mollies by Way of Plttsburg and the Ohio and Mississippi rivers iu the fall of that year , ami iu November it sailed to Fort Dodge , and carried material irom hero to be used Iu building the court house thorc. That was several months before the trip ot the Charles Uogors , which was referred to as the Ilrst to Fort Dodge. Hut some people ol this city decided to have n boat of their own. So during the winter of 1853-0 they built n boat ou the island under Court avenue bridge. The engines wcro made here , " In "tho old Hemingway works , on liHst Walnut street. About the beginning of May the boat started down stream ou its trial trip. The engines worked badly , and when Kcokuk was reached , the boat was tied up for repairs. After nearly n month it got back to DCS Moincs , mid its owners despaired of over making it go. Hut old Dr. Hull , the father of Lieutenant Gen eral Hull , came to the assistance of thu own ers , and had some necessary changes made in the machinery , and while they were doing so they were olTered u paying cargo to Fort Dodge. The boat , without \vaitmg for all the changes to bo made , accepted the cargo and sailed for Fort Dodge. The river then was low and falling fast , so there was no chuncu for dancing or othof festivities along tlio route. Fort Dodge was reached without serious accident , although the boat nud some narrow escapes from old dams , bars ami reefs.

So Robert had hastily to provide an other subject , and ho fell upon that ol the squire. Mr. Newcomo's eyes llashod. "Ho ia coming' back ? I ain sorry for you , Elsmorc. 'Woo is me that I um constrained to dwell with Maseeh , and to have iny habitation among the teats of Kodiirl" ' And ho foil back in his chair , his lips tightening , his thin long hand ly ing along the arm of it , answering to thai general impression of combat , of the spiritual athlete , that hung about Him. ' I don't know , ' ' said Robort.brightly us ho leaned against the mantol-plouo , looking curiously at his visitor. "Tho squire in a man ot strong ehuraotor , of viut learning. His library is ono oC the finest in England , and it is at my service. I am not concerned with his opinions. " "Ah , 1 goo , " srtid Nowcomo , in his tlryoBt voice , but sadly. ' 'Yon are one jf tho"pcoplo who believe iu what you -I remember. " call tolerance- "Yes , that is an impeachment to which 1 plead guilty , " said Uobort.per- liaps with equal dryncsd'and ; you liavo your worries driven you to throw tolerance overboard ? " Nowcomo bent forward quickly , Strange glow and iiiteiiHityot the fanat ical eyes strange beauty * ol the wasted persecuting lips ! 'Tolerance ' ! " ho said , with irritable vehemence "tolerance ! Simply an- otlior name for betrayal , cowardice , de sertion nothing clso. God , llcavon ; Salvation on the ono side , the devil nnd hell on the other and ono misor- iiblo life , 0110 wrotohod sin-stained will , to win the battle with ; and in such 11 state of things you" ho dropped his voice , throwing out every word with a scornjul , sibilant cniphaMb ' 'you would have us bohitvo in though oar friends were our oneniios and our unemles our friends , ah though otoi-iml misery were [ i bagatelle and our faith a mere altern- utivo. 1 stand for Christ , and his foes are mine. " "Uy which I aupposo you moan. " said Robert , qujutly , % 'tlmt you would hhut your dour on thu writer of 'Thu Idols of Iho Markot-phiuo'l1" "CVrtalnly. " And the priest rose , hlo whole atten tion concentrated on Robert , as though iqmo doopor-lyiug motivu were sud denly brought julo play than any hug- Lrccitud by the conversation itsolf. "Cort'iinly , .Itidgo not .o long as a man has not judged lilmai-H onlv till then , As to nn open < Mieinytho C'nrint- inn's pfttli is ploar.

Ho wae about to imlulgo Llmsolf In such a quteh passage of arms as nil such natures as his delight in , when Uiff look traveled post the gaunt figure of the Hltuallsl rlcar to Ills wife. A sudden pangsmoto Hileiu'ed him. She was sitting with ho fnoe raised to Xowcoiuo ; and her bean tiful gray eyes were full of a H'crct pas sion of sympathy. It was like the sud- tlon ro-emorgiMu't' of poincihing roprus- sod , the satisfaction of wimotlung lam- gry. Robert moved do or to her , and the color flushed over all his young boy ish face. "To mo. " he said , in a low voice , his eye llxed ruUiiMMin her than on Now- come , "a clergyman has unough to do with thoHi foes of ( Jlirlst ho cannot choose but recognize. There is no making truce with vice or cruelty. Why should wo complicate our task and spend in needless struggles the energies we might give to love and to our brother ? ' ' His wife turned to him. There was trouble in her loolc , then a swift lovely dawn of something indescribable. NOw- come moved away with a gesture that was half bltlonu'ss. half weariness "Wait , my friuiiuy' ho said slowly , "till you Imvo watched that man's books eating the very heart out of a poor creature ns 1 havo. When yon have once seen Christ robbed of a soul that might have been Ills , by the infidel of genius , you will loathe till this Laodicean cant of tolonuicc us 1 do ! " There was. an awkward pause. Lang- ham , with his oyeglasfl on , was care fully examining the make of a carved P'iper-knifo lyin T near him. The Hrained ! , preoueupu-d man of the high churchman had noveltuhi'ii the small- out account of his presence , of which Robert had linen keenly , not to say humorously , conscious throughout. Hut after a minute or so the tutor got up. strolled forward , and addressed Robert on some Oxford topic of common inturoht. Nowcomo , in a kind of dream which seemed to have Maidenly descended on him , stood near them , his priestly cloak fall ing in long folds about him , his ascetic face grave and rapt. Gradually , how ever , the talk of the two men dissipated the mystical cloud about him. Ilo began - gan to listen , to catch the savor of Langliatn's modes of speech , and of his languid indifferent personality. " " 1 must go , " ho said , abruptly , after a ininulo or two , brcakrng upon the friends'conversation. " 1 shall hardly got home before dark , " lie took a cold , punctilious leave ol Catherine , and still a colder ant" slighter leave of Langhnm. Elsmero accompanied him to the gate. On the way the older man suddenly caught him by the arm. "Elsmere. le.t mo T am the elder by so many years let mo speuk to you. My heart goes out to you ! " And the eagle face softened ; the harsh , commanding presence becnmo enveloping , magnetic. Robert paused and looked down upon him , a quick light of foresight in his eyo. IJo felt what was coming. And down it swept upon him , a hur ricane of words hot from New- come's inmost beiiiir , a protest winged by the gathered passion of years a'srainbt certain "dangerous tendencies" the elder priest discerned m the .younger , against the worship oi in- toll'jot and science us such which ap peared in Elscnioro's talk , in Elfomoro's choice of friends. Tt was tlio eternal fu-y of the mystic of all ages. 'Sc'holaroliiji ! learning ! " Eyes and lips Hashed into a vehement scorn. "You allow them a value in them selves , apart from the Christian's test , it is the modern can leer , the modern .curse ! Thank God , my years in Lon don burned it out of mol Oh , my friend , whutjiavo you and I to do with all these curious trillings , which lead men oflcncr to rebellion than to wor ship ? Is this a time for wholesale trust , for a maudlin universal sympathy ? Kay. rather a day of suspicion , a day of repression ! a time for trampling on the lusts of the mind jip less than the lusts of the body , u time when it is bettor to believe than to know , to pray than lo understand ! " Robert was silent a moment , and they stood together , Noweomo's gaze of fiery appeal Used upon him "We arc differently made , you and I , " said the young rector at last , with difficulty. "Where you see temp tation I Mio opportunity. 'I can not conceive ceivo of God us the Arch-plotter against His own creation ! " Nowcomo dropped his hold abruptly. "A groundless optimism , " ho said , with harshness. "On the track of the soul from birth to death are two sleuthhounds - hounds sin and Milan. Mankind for ever Hies them , is forever vanquished and devoured. I s > co life always as u threadrliko path between abysses along which man creeps" and his gesture illustrated the words "with blooding hands and foot toward one narrow politary outlet. Woe to him if ho turn to the right hand or to the left 'I will repay , saith the Lord ! ' " Klsmcrc drew himself up suddenly ; the words seemed lo him a blasphemy. Then something Hiayed tlio vehement answer on hiti lips. It was a souse of profound intolerable pity. What a maimed life ! what an iiulomHablo fcoul ! lludnandhood. fatherhood , and all the sacred education that ilows from human jo.v forever sclf-furbiddcn , and this grim creed for recompense ! lie caught Nuweomo's hand with a kind of filial eagerness. "You are n perpetual les on tome , " ho said , most gently. "When the world is too much with me I think of you'nnd am rebuked. God bless jou ! Hut 1 ' know myself. If I could'see life and God as you see them for ono hour , L shall cease to bo n Chrislin in the next ! ' ' A Hush of something like somhro re sentment passed over Nowcomo's face. There is a tyrannical element in all fanaticism , an clement which nmkcb apposition a toi'iuont. lie turned ab ruptly away , and Robert was left alono. THE WORK OF NOBLE WOMEN , Report of the Soorotnry of the Christian Association. THE NEW HOME ON BURT STREET. All tlie PnymiMitH Itarcllccti Promptly Met nnd die Outlook U Most ; A Year's Ciooil Deeds. Tlio Cln-l-itliui U'otnon. Quietly and unostentatiously the Woman's ' Christian association has been doing a gooil j work In Omaha , nnd HIP rosultH are best 1 told In the annual report of the scr.rotnr.v , Mrs. J. G. Ilulncs. Five yours ago , a few ladles met in the- parlors of the M. ! : . church , to dccido in which of the many Holds that Omaha offered , their efforts would bo pro ductive of the most good. The ono to Improve prove- the temporal , moral and reunions wol- Inrct of women nnd children was thu one cho.son , nnd to that end the efforts of the as sociation have ever sineo been directed. The Ilrst contribution was a S.T bill from a lady to pa.y the rent of three small rooms , and with this in the treasury the association com menced its work for the buncllt of tbu destitute women and child ren of Omaha , Committees wcro appointed , the city canvassed , and all cubes of deserving necessity relieved , but the or ganization of n bureau of clniritii-s lust win ter has rttndori'il the work of the association In this direction somewhat lighter. The re port of the secretary says : "Near thu oloso of the second vear wo " rented a small house on Fariium , io"x ) , and learn from this yeiir'B report that wo had given assintanco to more- that two hundred women und children. From thu third nuiiual report wo learn there hud been in our little homo -ira inmates. Thirty-four old ladies had been cured for ; lit. children had boon brought hi during the year ; 205 girls found homos and employment. From the nogin- nlu.of the fourth year , December , 1 SSI ) , to June , 1S7 , I0 < > had been cared for In the homo on Farnam street. Being unable to rent this house on Farnaiu streolaiiy longer , nnd feeling the necessity of u perinmiciit home of our own , wo purchased the property on Burl street. 2718 , for fo.Ulil ) , making a p.iymontof S1QO ) , the remainder to bo paid annually in payments of about the HUIIIU amount. We uro happy to say that we were able to meet promptly the second payment duo on this hoine last Juno , owing to the liberality of citizens interested in our cause. The indebtedness of this property has still further bcoit lessoned during the 'past year by a bciiuest of $500 loft to us. This bequest - quest was especially gratil'.vitn : to the IIRSO- elation , because it was prompted not only for services rendered , hut by u sincere apprecia tion of thn good work wo were doing'with which she was no much impressed during her short stay with us. Past experience makes our faith strong that this property will soon be free from all incuinbranccs. This homo was not opened until October. The house ia largo nud convenient for our work , and at present provides a homo for aged women and children. It is now known as the W. O. A. home. On the -same lot wo have a cottage given us by tile Motor compnnv , which has been rented far the past year , and has been the only source of income to the association with the exception of a little nionoy for board from llwse who may bo able to pay. This house is greatly needed for the children , and we trust onr llnniicial committee will soon see its way clear to give it to us for that purpose. " During the last year thr > new homo has sheltered 210 inmates , 10" of whom wore children , and although at times "tho homo" has been crowded" , but \ory little sickness has been icported. In addition ID Iho above , the association is currying on another good work , in tlio "Young Women's Homo' ' on Dodge street. The report tolls the object of the homo in the following words : "Do not think for ono moment that it is an institution for charity boarders bccuuvoof its name. It is not ; there is no more charily about it than there is aboi't any Christian homo in this city. There is nothing about this homo that should lessen the feeling of independence wliich all Rolf-supporting icol. Certain prices are paid for board , regulated according to room taken and the ability of applicant , to pay never more than J.l per wool : for heat , light nnd board. Young ladies ura delighted to pay for the privileges of , this home , even though tncy might obtain board elsewhere for the same amount. Much is done for the intellectual improvement and social culture of the mem bers of this family. " Continuing , it appeals for heln as follows : ' Oh , how much ivis need a homo of this kind for the protection of the young working girls in this city of lOJ.OOi ) inhabitants. It is hard to turn them from our door simply for w.uit of room , and to meet this donclency another yearn "boardof directory" ' will bo established , its object being to find Immoa within the means of working women which t-hull bo comfortable and safe. To strangers coming to HIP city ns workcw or students sucli a buraau is invaluable , ns they are cn- atiled to quickly find shelter without nnxloty a * to its respectability. " Ono other work bus been taken In hand by the association , and that is the establishment of a Woman's Exchange. A suitable buildIng - Ing has been secured at 1017 Farnaui street , and of it thc.roport says : "Cue of these rooms was lilted up as a lunch room and thrown open to thu public. It has boon liberally patronized to the present time by our best business men. This exchange has about niriitty consignors who help furnish eatables for this lunch room , and it is known several women help very largely to thu Mipport of their families by the sale of their articles. Orders are filled promptly for all kinds of fancy work us also bread , cako.-i , pics , salads , etc. Those ladius ( members of iho board ) , Imvo been earnest and faithful , giving much valuable time , rind to them and their president , Mrs. Bosworth , the association wish to express their appreciation for their earn -ht efforts for the success of thulr undortiikiiig.
