Misery of lnhdelity.

An eminent artist, who was an avoWed un-
believe, was employed by gentleman living
in the country to paint the portraits of his
family, While he was employed in cxccu.
ting his commission, he was an inmate Of the
family Of his employee. The family I've
knew it we'll was beautiful specimen of
Christian ORDER culture, and affection.
1t was u pious home, on which God Iibc-
rally shed the blessings Of his providence
and they were consecrated and refined by the
influences OF his grace. Christianity never
looks more beautiful than when it is seen in
the virtues and joys Of a home whose sphere
is all governed and animated by its influence.
1t was scene to touch the susceptible heart
OF the artist, 1t did affect him profoundly.
He saw there a happiness which he had never
seen beforc--an oasis which blooms not in the
dreayy wilderness ofskcpticism. Before Icay,
ing, he said to his smployer, -" Sir, woull
chcerlully give away all the fame and riches
Of this world, il could have your faith !"
An American professor, while pursuing his
studies in Germany, was in habits OF some
what intimate intercourse with a rtnowaed
scholar, who was . pantheist.
The latter once said to him. " would give
the world, if / had it, to be able to say thor
to my God as you do to yours"
Yes, the in6del is sometimes conscious Of
his own misery, especially when it is brought
into bold contrast with the chcoriulnoss AMI
serenity Of true aud living Christianity.
He, then, has vivid sense Of the dismal
present and yet more dreaded future, which
is the portion Of that man who lives " with
out God in the world"
Without God in tho world - Never was
the miserable condition Of an unbcIioviog
soul SO powerfully printed ina few words.
! What a droary chaos mast world be with
ont u Gyd-bcginpjng in chance, existing
without coot.o or direction, AID ending in
nothing What must b the condition ot
4 soul which feels itself drifting blindly along
in such a goddess world, through unknown
space and duration Nc wonder il such a
soul, When it come. ia contact with a calm
thoughtful, intelligent, happy believer, shouic
be struck with the hidoous contrast Of the
70 lcss and hopeless gloom within and aroua(

And the soft south air is bringing to me
Perfumes as sweet as in the June buds lie.

Md catch the sound Of children at play.

Brilliant in coloring as the sky,
And the reapers binding their golden sheayes,

Before it should reach Octobcrs brink
But with every breath of the scented breeze
There is rustling down withcred leaf,
And hear the signing among the trees
That is like the prelude to grief
And though the sun shines with spendor like June
BY this should know 'ts fall afternoon.
AT the open window sit and see
Clouds that are passing-hopes that are past,
And the soft south air is bringing to
Memories crowdng thick and fast
And some Of the dreams | recall to-day
Arc swept like the withered leaves away.
At the open window | still remain,
And my soul il yainy trying to see

Knowing how much that gain Eould be.

Illusions Of Life.

Man is never satisfied with his lot. The
heart demands something more, something
higher, something better, whatever blessings
it may already enjoy. The scriptural Adam
and Eve are typical. The garden of Eden
is ours. We bask in its sunshine, the fra
grant flowers are all around us, plentiful
fruits invite us to partake Of their riches
Well were it for this physical frame if we
knew Of no fruit forbidden us to taste. For
what is beyond reach tompts us more
than anything q and in obtaining it We
exile ourselves Paradise. Remorso for
transgrcssion is flaming sword that pre-
vents our return

probably as lin as there is in the
whole regions But the woods are
nothing but it is true, and green,

ness, VIC fulfil law 1t is we'll that no ma
terial paradise is sufficient paradise for U.s.
In this circumstance Of his being, man DIFF
fers from the aniual. I'ao lion in the desert,
the tiger in the jungle, the ape in the woods,
has no aspirations above his state. But the

Special Notice to Teachers.

Special Notice to Teachers.
The ''Meigs County Educational As
sociation'' will hold their Annual Insti
tute in Pomeroy, during the week com
mencing August 27. 1t is hoped that ;
very large proportion of the Teachers o.
the County may avail themselves of this
most valuable, yet almost gratuitous
means of benefting themselves and ad.
vancing the cause of popular education
The services of competent lecturers from
abroad have been secured. Among
these, Mr. Smyth, our able State School
Commissioner, is expected.
! Arrangements have been made fol-
boarding the Teachers gratuitously, in
private families.
By order of the Exec. Committee.
THE BELL-EVERETT CONVENTION,
Which met at Chillicothe the other
day, nominated full electoral ticket
This was consistent and right. We do
not suppose they expect to carry large
vote. But if they are honest men, and
believe they are sustaining correct prin-
ciples, the smallness of their numbers
should not abate from the respect they
deserve from their fellow citizens who
disagree with them. We think they
are all wrong, but if they will repudiate
all corrupt "fusion" and vote their own
ticket, in a hopeless minority, we can
we'll believe them honestly in earnest, and
shall treat and respect them accord
ingly. The evidence of their sincerity
would have been more satisfactory if
they had nominated full State ticket
instead of pledging themselves, as they
did, in not very straightforward
course, to one, at least, of the Demo-
cratic candidates. But let that pass
If all the parties and factions would but
run their own candidates, the people
would have an opportunity to decide be-
tween them. But with the "fusions"
and coalitions forming in most of the
States, the votes of the people will be
without significance beyond the present
success of few scheming politicians.
We shall hail the day when shams, dis
guises, intrigue and double-dealing shall
be driven from the political arena, by a
fair, honest, distinct enunciation of prin
ciples, and an appeal to the unbiased
Judgment of the people on the opposing
issues. And to aid in bringing about
this result, we would like to see every
party stard upon its own platform, there
to receive the judgement of the people
upon its simple merits.

DIR. S. A. WEAvER's CERATE.-It is now
about ten years since this article was first in
troduced to the public, and such has been its
success, that from the annual sale of few
thousand bottles of it, the sales have now
reached Millions in the same length of time
Now what is the reason of this great increase
of its use? Simply from the fact that there
never has been an article that could be COM
pared to it, for curing many of that class OF
diseases which have always been said to be in
durable. 1t has cured diseases after they have
stood for years, and every other tried remedy
has failed. 1t has effected permanent cures
Another reason of its great success is from the
fact that when one person uses it, he finds out
what it will do and tells it to his neighbors,
and the use of one bottle is sure to make sale
Of hundreds of others. We have never puffed
it. or tried to force it upon the public, but have
left it to make its own way and establish its
own reputation. and it has so far done it, that
in most places where it has been introduced
it has taken the place Of all other Ointments
and Salves.
