R.S.V.P.The Bank of Northwestern Iowa
purchased the Sioux State Bank of
Hawarden, last Tuesday. This institution
was owned by Messrs.
Granger, Dunham and others, and is
one of the prosperous fixtures of
that splendid little city. Messrs.
Pitts, Kessey and Gibbs of the Northwestern
will increase its capital and
bring back to the bank a long experience
in banking which will increase its
business and make new friends for it.
The Northwestern is one of the oldest
and best in the country, their customers
have received uniform kind
and courteous treatment and the
change means much for the benefit of
the town of Hawarden. They now
operate a bank at this place, Orange
City, Ireton, and the one spoken of
above makes the fourth. The new
bank will deserve and, we predeict, receive
a very large share of buisiness.
-From Alton Democrat Dec. 5th,
1891. Bethel Literary and Historical Association. Washington, D. C., January 1, 1892.
THE OFFICERS AND MEMBERS of the Advisory Board have the honor of inviting
your attention to the annexed schedule containing a list of the speakers with their
subjects for the months of January, February, and March, 1892. The board aims now,
as it has ever done during its ten years existence, to have an arena where the best
thought and most practical information can be disseminated for the public good. To a
large extent we feel that our efforts in this line have not been in vain. The Literary is
not narrowed by any sectarian creeds or partisan politics, but it has shown itself to be broad
and liberal, seeking only to pay tribute to history, art, science, and literature. The
board solicits the hearty co-operation of every man and woman who endorses mental
advancement, so that it may be known far and wide that there is an Association at the
National Capital that freely opens its doors to all reputable persons who may choose to enter
its halls and enjoy the benefits of a literary evening. The meetings are held every Tuesday
at eight o'clock p. m. during the session, and you are cordially invited to be present. The U. S. Senate,

THE BROMPTON PRINT, 130 STATE STREET
1892Josiah Howe Carter The eightieth birthday of Mr. Carter was
made the occasion of sincere and hearty
congratulations by his family and friends. Remembrances, letters, and telegrams were received
by him from near and far, testifying to the impression which had been made by his straightforward, cheerful, and helpful life. Standing
alone, the last of a large family of brothers and
sisters, with one of his own home circle left to
keep him company, his friends and neighbors
brought him the warm greetings of respect and
love.
Several days previous to the anniversary Mr.
Carter received a notification from his pastor,4 the Rev. William R. Lord, that he should call
and take possession of him on the evening of
the twenty-second. The following note was also
received:— Dear Mr. Carter:
Will you come to tea with us six o'clock on
the twenty-second, and let you us wish you many
happy returns of your eightieth birthday? Sincerely yours,
H. B. BLACKWELL.
LUCY STONE.
ALICE STONE BLACKWELL. The invitation was accepted; and Mr. Carter
took supper at his old home of many years on
Pope's Hill, Dorchester now owned and occupied
by the friends who had so kindly summoned
him again within its portals. At the proper time he was conducted by Mr.5
Lord to the vestry of the Harrison Square Unitarian
Church, with which he had been actively
connected as teacher and superintendent in the
Sunday-school, member of the choir, and deacon
in the congregation of nearly forty years. Here
his neighbors and friends had assembled in large
numbers to greet him. Under the leadership
of Mrs. Lord, a fine bank of potted plants' had
been arranged in front of the platform; and,
when the guest of the evening had been placed
in front of this, the suprises in store for him
began. The first of these consisted of the leading
in, by Mr. Lord, of his daughter, her husband,
and son from Northhampton, of whose presence
he had not known. Following them, during the
evening, came many friends from the immediate
vicinity and some from a distance. Under the
direction of an efficient committee, refreshments
were served from a tastefully decorated table by
some of the young ladies of the society. During
the evening a birthday cake, made and decorated
by Mrs. Lord, and surrounded with twenty-one
candles, the symbol of the recipient's perpetual
youth, was presented to Mr. Carter. A little
later Mr. Lord called the company to order, and
spoke as follows:--
REMARKS OF MR. LORD. I was taught by my parents to hold Washington's
Birthday in high regard; and in my manhood's
years the day has grown to be even sacred. So has the character of Washington grown upon
me that he seems to me now not only the star of
our past history, but the ideal toward which our
country must move. Till I came to Dorchester, 22d of February,
so far as I was concerned, had only this importance,
and belonged exclusively to the "Father7
of his Country." But, after my advent here, I
came to know that the day had even additional
importance, because it was the natal day also
of one who may, in a way, very properly be
called the father of this large company of neighbors
and friends gathered here to mark his
eightieth anniversary.

 me now not only the star of
our past history, but the ideal toward which our
country must move. Till I came to Dorchester, 22d of February,
so far as I was concerned, had only this importance,
and belonged exclusively to the "Father7
of his Country." But, after my advent here, I
came to know that the day had even additional
importance, because it was the natal day also
of one who may, in a way, very properly be
called the father of this large company of neighbors
and friends gathered here to mark his
eightieth anniversary. As Washington is the
Father of his Country because of pre-eminent
services rendered, so may Mr. Carter, for the
time at least, be regarded as a father to us,
because of kindly service rendered by him and
received by us all how often! We are not here,
therefore, simply to celebrate the eightieth birthday
of a neighbor,--rather, it seems, to take
advantage of the occasion to show Mr. Carter our
appreciation of his generous and cheerful life
among us. What one of us has not received from or
through him some friendly token, some feast of8
music, fragrance of flower, or cheerful word? And no cause of benevolence or reform has ever
lacked his ready assistance. Allow me to illustrate Mr. Carter's kind attentions
to you all by a personal reference. The
first Sunday I supplied your pulpit upstairs Mr. Carter put into my hands, with a friendly word,
a cluster of lovely flowers, which was earnest of
all his constant little and great services since. This is a privileged time for us, when we may tell
Mr. Carter, to his face, some of the things we
think and feel about him. We may, therefore,
take this opportunity to thank him for the way he
is teaching us to grow old cheerfully. He is
rather a remarkable man who, when he grows old,
does not live in the past, talk of the "good old
times," and condemn the present. Mr. Carter,
in spite of many disappointments and losses (more
than come to most men), insists upon living in 9
the sunshine and reflecting its cheer and hope
upon us all. We count it a privilege, therefore, to meet and
bring him our thankful and hopeful greetings. It
is a happy occasion for us as we know it is for him. We want him to live to see many anniversaries
not alone that he may go on blessing us with
sunshine, but that we may in some such manner
greet him again. At the close of Mr. Lord's address he called
upon Mr. Carter's son-in-law, the Rev. Frederic
A. Hinckley, of Northampton. Mr. Hinckley
made feeling reference to his entrance into Mr. Carter's family nearly a quarter of a century ago,
to his participation with Mr. Carter in causes of
social and political reform, and to the many joyous
and sad experiences which the years had brought. He closed with the following poem which he had
written for the occasion:-10
J. H. C. February 22, 1892. "I am eighty years young to-day! Do you hear what it is I say? I am eighty years young to-day!"
So speaks from summit of the years,
Deeper than any word of seers,
Perpetual youth the living cheers. Backward it looks where mem'ry hies,
Forward with eager, longing eyes,
To catch new visions as they rise;
But here it stands, strong, hopeful, bright,
A messenger of life and light,
to warm and bless the day and night. With mind to see the thought that leads,
With heart to feel for others' needs,
Its creed it found in kindly deeds. In rend-rind help at friend's demand,
In scatt'ring flowers with lib'ral hand,
It sheds its radiance on the land. 11 “Eighty years young!" we hear it say,
And come our happy debt to pay
To you who wear that crown to-day.
With greetings in which friends combine,
I mingle these poor words of mine,
In prayer it ever may be thine. Bright and kindly speeches followed from Lucy
Stone and Henry B. Blackwell. Then Mr. Lord
read this little poem contributed by Miss. Catherine
Wilde:— 1812 FEBRUARY 22 1892 With open hand, with kindly heart,
With counsel wise and weighty,
The friend who always does his part
Has reached the age of eighty.

Eighty years young!" we hear it say,

With counsel wise and weighty,
The friend who always does his part
Has reached the age of eighty. May sunshine gild his birthday feast,
May happy years come arter,
He helps the lowliest and the least,
Hurrah for Mr. Carter!The following letter was then read from a
former pastor and friend: -
1812 80 1892
February 22.
God bless you my dear, good friend. I thank
you heartily for your great fidelity to me in the
past, and for your constant friendship.
All hail to No. 80.
Cordially and gratefully,
Caleb D. Bradlee.
With this note I send a volume that I hope
may please you.
At the request of Mr. Carter, Mr. Lord
then read the verses which follow from Bryant, with
the closing lines added by himself: -13
Waiting by the gate.
Beside a massive gateway built up in years
gone by,
Upon whose tops the clouds in eternal shadows
lie,
While streams the evening sunshine on quiet
wood and lea,
I stand and calmly wait till the hinges turn for me.
Behold! the portals open; an o'er the threshold
now
There steps a weary one, with a pale and furrowed brow;
His count of years is full, his allotted task is
wrought:
He passes to his rest from a place that needs
him not.
Again the hinges turn, and a youth, departing,
throws
A look of longing backward, and sorrowfully goes;
A blooming maid, unbinding the roses from her
hair,
Moves mournfully away from amid the young and
fair.Once more the gates are opened: an infant group
go out;
The sweet smile quenched forever and stilled the
sprightly shout.
O frail, frail tree of Life, that upon the greensward strows
Its fair young buds unopened with every win
that blows. And some approach the threshold whose look
are blank with fear,
And some whose temples brighten with joy in
drawing near,
As if they saw dear faces, and caught the gracious eye
Of Him, the Sinless Teacher, who came for us
to die. I mark the joy, the terror; yet these, within my
heart,
Can neither wake the dread not the longing to
depart.
And, in the sunshine streaming on quiet wood
and lea,
I stand and calmly wait till the hinges turn for me.And now so many of my dear ones,
Fathers, mother, brothers, sisters, wife, children,
all save one,
Having passed within the gate,
While I a little longer wait,
To blind grief and blinder science I give the lie,
Feeling sure that I have not lived to long to die! The guest of the evening now arose, and with
deep emotion said: "Children, Friends, and
Neighbors,-- You overcome me quite by these
congratulations, these tokens of your love and
respect, these banks of flowers, this sumptuous
repast, your presence from far and near. Oh,
how poor are words to express one's feelings,
when one is moved to the very depths of his soul!
Oh that I might have words to express my feelings! I thank you all, kind friends, from the
bottom of my heart." After another hour spent
socially, the company broke up, with mutual
good-bys and God-speeds.16 EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS. Nathaniel T. Allen wrote:-- Accept our warm congratulations upon completing
