TY, MISSOURI, MONDAY, NOVEMBER ils, 1916.
THE HEART.

Oh. could we read the human heart,
Its strange mysterious depths explore,
What tongue could tell or pen impart
The riches of its hidden lorei
Safe from the worlds distrustful eye,
What deep and burning feeling play,
Which cen stern reasons power defy,
And wear the sands OF life AWAY.
Think not beneath a smiling brow,
To always find a joyous heart,
For wits bright glow and reasons flow
Too often hide a cankering dart.
The bird with bruis'd and broken wing,
Oft tries 10 mount the air again,
Among its inmates to gladly sing
Its last melodious dying strain.
The fire that lights a flashing eye
May BY a burning heart be fed.
Which in its anguish yearns to die,
While yet it seems to pleasure we'd.
Oh! do not rashly judge the heart,
Though cold and vain it seems to be;
Nor rudely seek the veil to part
That hides its deep, deep mystery.

More constant thar the evening star
Which wildly beams above
Than diadem-ohi dearer far
A sisters gentle love!
Brighter than the dew-drop on the rose,
Than natures sIaile more gay

Stepped in @loves's purest ray.
Gem Of the heart !! Lies gift divine,
B~equeathed us from a bove,
Glad offering at affections shrine
4 sisters holy love.

THE NARCOTIC MEXICO.

In order to give The reader a clear idea
of the chief dangert to the American army,
and the main obstruction in the way of their
march to Mexico by their present route, We.
copy the following extract from. the Gin
c~innati Daily Chronicle, whose editor (Mr.
Mansfield was formerly, if we mistake mt,
an officer of the United States Army. The
article was written before the capture of
Monterey was known:-[No Statesman.
We assume that Gen. Taylor is at Monte
rev. If there has been a battle We have no
doubt he has been victorious. We have
none of the doubts which appear to be felt
in som quarters about the dangers and diff
i~iculties Of the army. The army is able to
take care of itself so far as battles are con-
cerned. That is not the difficulty. The
difficulty is the length If the Ane Of rperd-
TINS, and every step into that difficulty
The reader who has never thought Of mill
tary matters will easily perceive the truth
of these facts:
1. An army must be supplied with provis-
ions from its rear. In the present instance
there is no prospect of getting provisions
from the Mexicans. The country through
which Gen Taylor is to move is thinly pop
ulated ard poor. The supplies of the army
must be derived from New Orleans. The
line of supply is, therefore, an immense
one.
?. 4 train of Baggage wagons may be
cut off BY a very small party Of men. A
guerilla warfare adopted by the Mexicans
would be the most effectual one.
$50. It follows from this that Gen. Taylor
cannot safely leave any part Of his line of
supply beyond the Rio Grande uncorrrrd.
tits not a case in which a Spartan band are
simply to cut their way through the cne-
my's line. 1t is a case i'll which a large
part of the army, must be continually en-
gagged IN getting supplies and defending
them. Every post and every town Gen.
Taylor conquers, then, must be defended
by troops left behind. Atevcly stcr lie adj
rances, then, his armyi is diminished, and
the difficulties of supplies increased.
"Vyith this general view of the case, let
US see what sort of a journey, in distance
and country, lies before Gen. Taylor.
From Saltillo. south, TO Mexico there is
aroad but it is Tie only continuous road
passing in that direction. The distances
Oh that road are as follows:

SIR: You are charged on the books Of
this office, with $l,525, the value of the
clothing and blankets furnished for the use

be held accountable. In order to relieve
yourself from this accountability, you will
enter on your first muster roll all articles of
clothing and blankets issued to the men
under your command, and request the Pay
master to deduct the several amounts from
their first payment.
You are also held responsible for the
camp and garrison equippage received for

The Spirit If the Federal Press.-We
have never seen the opposition press more
bitter illibcral, and reckless in Its spirit.
All truth seems to be sacrificed; all Justice
Frustrated, under the influence Of faction.
In the midst Of i war, which has been wag-
cd against rs by a furious enemy; in the
midst of long-standing grievances, which
they had perpetrated against US; whilst the
honor OF the nation is at stake; whilst eve
r, patriots heart should be enlisted in the
service Of he country, and every hand
should he employed to promote her into
rests, We see an Infatuated press cxaSgera-
ting every difficulty, and ridiculing the re-
sources Of ourt,casury. The wing press
of Nashville is making the coarsest and
most unfounded attacks upon the President
and his cabinet. The most absurd rumors
are propagated about the plan of the cam
paign. One Of these editors (the "Savan-
nah Republican'') asserts tina: "General
Taylor will be pushed forward at IN into
the country, at least TO Saltillo, without
provisions or transportation, and thus will
the whole American force be sacrificed by
the wiseacres at Washington"
But the favoritc topic of denunciation is
the state of the treasury. The "New
York Express recklessly and absurdly es-
Inmates that " $4,000 have been already ex-
pended" 1t ridicules our means for OBJ.
tanning loans to carry on the war, and urges
as one reason why We cannot make any loan
upon good terms, that "the tariff, our great
means Of repayment, has been made less
productive, and at the same tine the coun-
try has been, blythe war, plunged into ex-
pcnses that have no end" This assertion,
like all the rest, is without any foundation.
We state upon authority which cannot be
disputed-from an extensive investigation
into the receipts and profits of the reve-
nue., made at the great emporium Of COM
.merce, New York, and at other points
that the estimate of the Secretary of the
treasury Of the proceeds of the tariff of
1916, to the amount of twenty-eight mill
ions, is most likely to fall short OF the
truth. The estimate is now about thirty
millions, instead oftwenty-eight. The OBJ
jects Of the federal press, however. are OBJ
vious. They wish to increase the expen-
.scs of the treasury, to make it more diff
cult to obtain any loans, if the Secretary
should attempt to make any; to raise the
interest which we SHOULD pay; TO cramp up
tie sincws of war; and to swell the clamor
of the manufacturers in favor of the key
note which Mr.. clay gave out the other
day at Ashland-of "REsToRArIoNL-RE-
STORATION' Of the tariff of 1912. We
trust the good sense Of the people, the firm
ness of their representatives, and the re-
suits Of the tariff of 1916, will arrest these
clamors, and paralyze these Efforts

Monterey to Mexico

III nothing but distance were in the
way. that alone presents almost an impossi-
bility to the army; but there are other great
diff cuIties in the way.
in the first place, from Monterey to Sal
tillo, is a very difficult road, filled with de-
files. We will suppose that has been over
come. Then commences the greatest diff
Guilty. The next step is one hundred and
eighty miles through a country which is de-
Scribed as ali drif plain, almost without
water, and equally without inhabitants
On tits point W may add, what seems not
to be entirely understood, that nine tentbs
of the Mexican people are south of San
Luis dc Potosi and Trenillo. This being
the crse, very little, we may say nothing, is
gained by any conquest short Of the city Of
Guanaxuato."

nEClDEDLY the very best and most effect
~ ual remedy ever yet discovered for Worms
While it invigorates the whole system, it at the
same time destroys and expels all the worms
from it, completely destroying the superabund-
ant slime or mucus so prevalent in the stomach
and bowels of children the immediate cause OF
all their bad health. The mucus forms the bed
or nest in which the worms produce their
young, which when removed from the system,
worms can no longer exist in it, This mcdi-
cine is pleasant to take and entirely harmless
in its effects on the system, and will not injure
the most delicate constitution Having a ca
thartic effect on the system the health of the
patient will always be benefited by the use of
1t, even if worms are not the primary cause OF
their sickness. The attention of parents is
particularly called to this article.
