For the Spectator.

Letters, says Ike Marvel, 'are the only true
heart-talkers and are worth all the ip-talk in
the world" Whether or not we are prepared to
admit quite as much, we yet do know that let
ters are our good monitors, they are, also, our
great comforters, and from our hearts we say,
blessed be letters. Oh the glory, the freedom,
the passion of letter. have little packet,
not very large, now soiled with frequent hand
ling, which often [ take out from its hiding
over with such sorrow and such joy, such tears
and such smiles as [ am sure make my heart
kinder and holier, and send me forth stronger
for the battles of life. There are in this little
packet letters in the familiar hand of sister, =
What tender affection What repeated assur-
ances that there is a vacancy in the home circle
I pity those who have outlived the tears that
such letters cali up to the eye. There are 9TH
ers in the budget in the trembling and unsteady
hand of an invalid. Icould almost thank heaven
for a sick sister. She is so gentle she gains a
mastery over our sterner nature by very con-
trast She is kind, shedding her kindness as
Give where the angels Ive" Her kindness
and gentleness are sWeetly tempered with that
meekness and forbearance which are born OF
faith Trust comes into her heart as rivers
come to the sea- But to return to the letters
There are still others in the packet, with some
times scrawling postscript at the bottom with
its gigantic is SO carefully crossed and extra p's
so heavily marked by the careless hand Of a
dear brother, written when his heart was full Of
glee, and the hopeful joy of buoyant youthful
ness And there are still other letters In my
packet of some of which may not write. But
the contents of all are stored far away in the in
ner chambers of the heart. So now will gather
up my letters carefully, to be read again when
the heart is faint and sick of all there is unreal
and selfish in the world, when it is weary of
strange faces and new voices, and longs for the
old familiar sounds of the home loved ones, and
the friends of other days. May God bless all
the writer's of my letters, and in the dark hour
ly to His sustaining Grace, and lean confidently
upon His strong arm, begging that He will lead
us away from the vanities of this world to the
fulIness of that joy which the good inherit.

A beautiful PRAYER.

Father Oh let my cry be heard, and an
swered for the eternal safety of father, mother,
sisters and brothers. Oh +! that the last day
may not be day of wrath and vengeance to
any of us, that may not hear one of those be-
loved voices calling on the rocks to fall and hide
them from sighted and despised Creator.
| will not take back my prayer it shall lie be-
fore Thy Throne, my Heavenly Father, offered
with a strong crying of the heart Thou canst
not deny to hear me, for plead the sufferings
and death of Savior. Oh! Jesus, be Savior
"a precious, priced Savior to these. By Thine
agony, by Thine hour of desolation, | plead
with Thee. | know that thou lowest to save
the souls of men; they are more valuable to
Thee than to their blinded owners, for Thou
canst see unveiled the eternity unrealized
by them. Oh, hear me, Jesus | will nottake
back my prayer 1t shall lie before Thy Thine,
and Thou wilt hear me, | know Thou wilt, but
until the answer comes, and | may not live to
see it, l will not cease to cry and would have
more, | would have these dear ones give up all
for Christ; | would have them so realize the
unspeakable value of things unseen, in COM
parison with the present, that they may earnest
ly desire and strive to give up time talents, in
fuence, means, life, to glorify God while ON
earth, knowing that a reward is laid up for the
faithful servants of God.
This, oh my Savior, is the intense cry of nv
soul. ask tnlS Ior tnenl, ana II tney must be
sanctifed by aff1iction, l ask it for them; yes,
in the depth of my love for them, ask 1t for
them, if by this means only they could be made
to see Thy face. Men think it strange that
God sends affliction to bring hearts to know
Him, but it is their own fault. Men have no
time to think of their souls, they are so busy
with earth's trials But in afiiction how do
these all stand back and leave the soul face to
face with its Maker Yes, if by means of deep
sorrow only can those love be saved, ask Thee,
[ pray Thee, O my God, to give them that
anguish, for well | know that an eternal
weight of glory can repay abundanty for any
earth pain; and Oh if their sanctifcation and
conservation to God can be promoted by Thine
infinite will, by anything that l can suffer, ]
freely offer myself. As Thou wilt; but Obi
let this be prayer accepted and put by to be
answered in Thine own good time Amen.

LIMA OHIO Ian 9. 1861

LIMA, OHIO, Jan. Z, 1901.
Messrs Editors :-Yo our toady Governor not
only undertakes to get you to disfranchise your
selves and to enfranchise the negroes by threats
of greater exactions from his masters, whose sa-
trap he is, but, in addition, he undertakes to
call the conservative men of the North rabble,
or what is equivalent to that. [ wish him to
know that he is as wide of the mark as the toad
that undertook to enlarge itself to the dimen-
sions of the OK If he will come here he will
find that the hardfsted yeomanry of the coun-
try are those in opposition to the despotism
that he and other demagogues in and out of
Congress are wishing to fasten on the country
in the place of the government, State and Fed
eral, made by Washington and his fellow patrl-
OTIS.
This is the third Judicial district of the State
and is a farming community and has conserv-
ative majority of over 5000, and in our Con-
gressiona district, we have commanding ma
jority and send conservative man to Congress,
but, on account of the demagogism around him
he is powerless for good.
The Fall elections, doubtless, surprised the
friends Of civil liberty throughout the world
1t is, however, a matter of easy solution: We
have here a corrupt political clergy with an oc-
casional exception) who have made their dupes
believe that they are the special messengers of
Heaven sent to punish outside barbarians, such
as their opponents North and the white men
South. What corrupt clergy in all ages has
done for the world, need not tell your readers
here they are the power behind the throne
greater than the throne itself, and to which the
demagogues in and out of Congress are pander-
ing. Such being the case, the contest will be
stubborn but with their limitations of Barebones
Parliament, hope they will ultimately disgust
even their own dupes. Our conservative vote
was in round numbers 2l4,O 900, but with negro
votes in violation of the State constitution and
other appliances, equally disreputable, they out
voted US $4,000. My best wishes to all my old
acuuaintances. JOHN IRWIN.

POetr o..
Coming Home.

o, brother and sister, growing old,
Do you all remember yet
That home in the shade of the rustling trees
Where once in our household met?
Do YOU know how we used to come from schoo
Through the summers pleasant heat;
With the yellow fennels golden dust
On our tired little feet?
And how sometimes in an idle mood
We loitered by the way;
And stopped in the woods to gather flowers,
And in the fields to play?
Till warned by the deepening, shadows fall,
That told of the coming night,
We climbed to the top Of the last, long hill
And saw our homes in sight
And brothers and sisters older now
Than she whose life is DER,
Do you think of the mothers loving face,
That looked from the open door?
Alasl for the changing things of time;
That home in the dust is low;
And that loving smile is hid from us,
In the darkness, long agol
And we have come to life's last hill,
From which our weary eyes
Can almost look on that home that shines
Eternal in the skies
So, brothers and sisters, as we go,
Still let us move as one,
Always together keeping step
Till the march Of life is done;
For that mother, who waited for us here,
Wearing a smile so sweet,
Now waits ON the hill of Paradise
For her children's coming feet

Mater Christi.
THE MOTHER OF CHRIST.

''Daily beneath his mothers eyes,
Her lamp matured his lowliness;
Twas hers the lovely sacrifice
With fillet and with flower to dress.
Beside his little cross he knelt,
With human heavenly lips he prayed,
His will within her will she felt,
And yet his will her will obeyed.
He willed to lack he willed to bear;
He willed by suffering to be schooled,
He willed the chains of flesh to wear;
Yet from the world her arms he ruled.
As tapers mid the noontide glow
With merged yet separate radiance burn
With human taste and touch, even so,
The things he knew he willed to learn.
He sat beside the lowly door;
His homely eyes appeared to trace
In evening skies remembered lore,
And shadows of his Fathers face
One only knew him. She alone
Who nightly to his cradle crept,
And lying like the moonbeam prone
Worshipped her Maker as he slept"

"LOve on the Brain"

The spnghtly Local of the Atlanta (Ga. J
Era thus discourses on this subject. We omit
the exordium and peroration, and give only the
body of the dissertation:
Ordinarily the patient, while laboring under
this disease, is unfit for business. There is a
sort Of willie the-wisp figuring between him
and his daily labor, uniting him for a sober
computation of units and making Balaam of
him generally. He suffers a loss Of appetite
to the intense qualification of his landlady He
looks upon bacon and cheese with ultra con-
tempt, and wants something more ethereal. lie
thinks about the honeydew of Hybla, and wishes
some OF the drugstores in the town had a sup
ply He studies Byron and Moore, and quotes
from each with remarkable facility. Lala Kookh
becomes favorite, especially certain portion
of the fre-worshipers.
The disease is confined to no particular age
or station. We had an attack Of it when about
fifteen. 1t was so severe that our motherWant-
ed to give us paregoric. We told her that the
pain wasn't that low down. We recovered in
course of time. Once it broke out fully in the
shape of certain question to a certain lady.
She answered in monosyllable of two letters.
1t brought us to our senses. 1t swept the mist
from our eyes like fog before hurricane. We
hadn't expected anything of the kind, and was
sure it had thundered. We looked for the
cloud, and saw large white bird sailing on a
pond Thought we were much the same kind
of bird with our wings clipped. A few days
after we told our chum that we didn't see any
thing in that Haunting Dorothy Diddle to admire
And we didn't.
The disease develops most singularly in those
who are advanced in years. Any one who has
seen an old man in love has seen Natures har-
lequin The old dame gets up another more
ludicrops, or more inconsistent. Every one
feels like laughing at the poor old fellows in
frmities. We once saw an old man who was
suffering from an attack of it. He was well
enough advanced in life to have half dozen
grandchildren. We knew him well. He was
playmate of our illustrious grandsire, who
wasn't a quartermaster in the revolutionary
war; IF he had been we would have been bet
ter off than we are now. We had noticed for
some time singularity in his conduct. We
saw him several times with roses stuck in his
buttons hole We caught him once reading
Burns Highland Mary. We were out with
him once looking at his stock, and we asked
him which was his favorite heifer He said
widow Wilkins The cat was out We
knew what was the matter but when, several
months after, we saw him washing the dishes,
while the widow-that was-nursed the baby,
we thought he was cured permanently.

must be borne in mind that the majority Of
the persons registering here, in truth, re-
side in adjacent or remote sections Of the
county. We would have been pleased to
show in the attached table the exact number
of voters IN each civil district, but could not
do so from the fact that those whe registered
here failed to give the district in which they
