men who fought, or labored with

The Dam Roaring.

"A young man went to see the
daughter of Presbyterian elder.
lately, whose house was near a mill
dam. 1t being the spring of the
year, the waters made considerable
roar as they tumbled over the dam.
The modest young gentleman tapped
lightly at the door at first, and receiv-
ed no answer. He tapped again
still no answer. Again and sgain he
repeated his knock, but still he was
unheard. Mastering up courage he
proceeded to inflict some severe
thumps on the door, which brought
the staid old gentleman out.
81 suppose" said the youngster,
who had by this time become slight
ly savage from being compelled to
wait so long; 81 suppose you, sir,
couldn't hear my knocking for the
dam roaring"
"The dam roaring! What do you
mean, sir? How dare you speak in
that way?' said the diyine, somewhat
angered by hearing the young man
swear in his presence.
Il mean that I suppose you could
not hear my knocking on account of
the dam roaring"
Dam roaring again You young
scoundrel? Have you the impu-
dence to insult me with a repetition
of those words? Begone, sir"
"My dear SIR" quoth the now be-
wiidered youth, 81 intended to say

two words.
''Insu!t on insult" shouted the in

Political Campaigns and News
papers.

J
We ask the attention of the friends
of Republican principles to the fol
lowing pertinent suggestions made
by cotemporary:
The Democracy, encouraged by
their successes in the late elections,
are leaving nothing undone that may
enhance their chances of electing the
next President and securing a major
ity in Congress. We may count on
their fighting with desperation for
for every foot of ground, and it is
the part of wisdom for Republican
Central Committees, and sll other in
Auential men in the party, to also
make timely preparations for the
campaign. We always lose votes by
deferring to late day work that
might be done early. We have eve
ry thing to gain and nothing to lose
by q thorough discussion of the is
sues Of the canvass.
With this view we wish to urge up
on Republicans the importance oi
largely circulating reliable Republi-
can newspapers. There is no way
by which the work of campaign can
be so efficiently and cheaply done as
this. Speeches, meetings, process
sions, etc, are all well enough in
their way, and are perhaps a neces-
sity of an exciting campaign, but
committees generally commit grave
errors in spending too much time
and money in this kind of work, to
the neglect of the more potent infu
ence at their command through the
proper use of newspapers.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on a
single meeting, which is considered
success if 4 couple of thousand peo-
pie come together and hear a speaker
for an hour or two They return to
their homes, think over what they
have heard, and no doubt are to a
certain extent influenced by it; but
give those same voters good news
paper to read regularly, and they
will be thoroughly posted on the
political issues, will be armed with
arguments to meet their opponents,
and what is better, will be found,
very generally, active and efficient
workers in the cause, whose influence
will be felt in the community.
We are all influenced in our opin
ions very much by what we read
more, perhaps, than many Of US are
ready, at first thought, to admit
But this is particularly true of the |
masses of the people, who do the
voting, and whose reading is neces-
sarily confined to one or two news
papers. These, we may be assured,
will be pretty thoroughly read, and
the thoughts thus imbibed will gain
a permanent lodgment in the mind,
and become part ofthe convictions
Of the reader.
And now is the time to begin this
work. Before the excitement of the
comes on, mems minds
are much more easily influenced than
ifterward They now have time and
opportunity to think calmly upon the
questions presented, and opinions
.hus formed will not be easily chang

The Guests of the Heart.

Soft falls through the gathering twilight
The rain from the dripping caves,
And stirs with Q tremulous rustic
The dead and the dying leaves;
While afar in the midst of the shadows
Ihear the sweet voices of bells
Come borne ON the wind of the autumn,
That ftfaly rises and swells.
They call and they answer each other
They answer and mingle again
As the deep and the shrill in an anthem
Make harmony still in their strain;
As the voices of sentinels mingle
IN mountainous regions Of snow,
TIL from hilltop to hilltop chorus
Floats down 10 the valleys below.
The shadows, the fire light of even.
The sound of the rains distant chime
Come bringing. with ram softly dropping,
Sweet thoughts of ashGdowy time;
The slumberous sense of seclusion,
From storm and intruders aloof
We feel when we hear in the midnight
The patter oil rain on the roof.
When the spirit goos forth in its yearnings
10 take all its wanderers home.
Or atar in the regions Of fancy
Delights on swift piniens to roam,
| quietly sit by the fire-light-
The fire-lightse bright and 50 warm
For know that those only who love me
VIII seek me through shadow and storm.
But sh0uld tney De absent tnls evening,
Should even the household depart
Deserted, should not be lonely;
There still would be guests in my heart.
The faces Of friends that / cherish,
The smile, and the glance and the tone,
VIII haunt me wherever wander,
And thus l am never alone.
With those who have left far behind them
1ne joys and the sOrFows of time
Who sing the sweet song of the angels
In puTer and hoIier cline!
Then darkly, o eyeningof autumn,
Your rain and your shadows may fall:
Ny loved and my lost ones you bring me-
My heart holds feast with them all

BEAUTIFUL ALLEGoRY.-Mr. Crit
tenden was engaged in defending a
man who had been indicted for a
capital offense, After an elaborate
and powerful defense, he closed his
effort by the following striking and
beautiful allegory.
When God in his eternal counsel
conceived the thought of man crea-
tion, he called to him the three min
listers who wait constantly upon his
throne--Justice, Truth and Mercy
and thus addressed them:
''Shall we make MANI" Then said
Justice, go God, make him not, for
he will trample upon the laws. -
Truth then made answer also, 80
God, make him not, for he will pol
lutte thy sanctuaries." But Mercy,
dropping upon her knees and look
ing up through her tears, exclaimed:
80 God, make him-I will watch
over him with my care through all
the dark paths which he may have
to tread. Then God made man and
said to him: so man, thou art the
child OF mercy--go. deal with thy
brother.'

~ A Memphis paper publishes
a sensation story OF the terrible deeds
of desperate, named Baker, in
Northeastern Texas, whose thirst for
blood, we are told, is utterly un-
quenchable. He he's murdered more
than forty persons, and is still at
large, every day adding fresh victims
to his horrible cruelty, Lately he
went, with two companions, to the
house of an old man, an acquain-
tance and friend of his father in-law,
and riding up, deliberately shot two
coiored men who came to the door.
The old man went out to demonstrate
with him, when he said, with ma
lignant smile, cold man, you are of
no account; you've ouiliyed your
usefulness" and presenting his re-
volver, fired, IDilieting a fatal wound.
The poor man fell to the ground, and
his two daughters ran to his assis
tance, when Baker knocked one of
them down, and left her bleeding and
senseless. He then went to the fire.

house had stood long enough, took
shovel of Goals and threw them upon
a bed. Another daughter pulled the
bed clothes off to extinguish the fire,
when he drew knife and mutilated
her person in a horrible manner.
