The pedigree of the new Premier,
Disraeli, is an object of interest to the
English newspapers just now, and one Of
them recalls the result Of O'Connell's in

tiles between the two orators, on one oc-
cason, Dan expressed conviction that
his opponent was lneal descendent of

Fruit prospects in Western Michigan

7 -Frult prospects IN Western Michigan
seem to be good. No season, says the St;
Joseph (Berrien County, Trare7er, ever
gave better promise Of full crop of fruit
at this period than this season does. Not
enough buds Of any variety of the peach
are found to he injured to prevent full
crop, or all that the trees are capable of
bearing. The vines for predicting the
small fruit are III excellent condition.
Should there be no late frosts the crop
promises to be abundant.

the ''bloody Instructions to starve the

ing "to plague the inventors )" and the
Turkish garrisons are suffering from sour
vey and like disorders. Their only sup

CANDIDATES BEFORE THE PEOPLE OF

the list'o of opposing candidates for state
Offices:

Governor. m Jewell, Q Z English,
TT Governor, F Wayland, Ephram Hyde,
Sec State, III Appelman, l. Pease,
Treasurer. Il w Vessels Z 5 Moseley,
Comptroller j " Manning, Jesse Oiney,
The democrats have recovered some
what from the cold shock Of the chilling
news from New Hampshire They are
rallying again, and now express them
selves sanguine Of success. If they lose
Connecticut, they IN measure lose tier
all, for Connecticut has been regarded by
their leaders as certain for their presiden-
tial candidate as New Hampshire is count
ed upon by the republicans. The poll of
vote will be unparalleled. It is the last
battle which the Johnsonians and copper
heads can fight in order to prevent the
removal of Andrew johnson, If Con-
necticut decides against the republicans
the Senate may hesitate to convict A. j.
If the vote is against HIN the Senate will
feel encouraged to depose a chief nlagis-
trate who has become the most serious
INSTRUCTOR of the laws and a clog upon the
prosperity of the country.

Destiny.

There oft seems destiny urging US on
To the pathways In life that we tread,
A fate on whose bosom our spirits have flown,
4 stream whose deep waters rush on tothe bourne,
Where our hopes lie withered and dead.
There is surely Will that is greater than ours,
A spirit that we cannot restrain,
A hand that oft brushes hopes smiling young
flowers,
A heart that will wther the sweetest love bowers,
Nor bring back their beauty again.
And that fate is embodied. for seldom is seen
A smile On the sad, gloomy brow,
No fowerets are there, no leaflets of green;
We sigh as we think of the joy that has been,
And the misery that waits on US now.
Some bright spots there are mid the gloom of
the past,
Yet little they bring us of cheer,
The present is dark, to the future at last,
We look for some comfort, it too has been cast
In the same leaden hue Of despair.
Then sick of our bondage we'd gladly give DER
The chains so unwllinely ours,
And, weary of life, in death would explore
Eternty's realms for happier shore,
And Heaven for its loveliest flowers.

COMNoDoRE BIDDLE AND TIE JAPANESE
SENTRY---W observe an incident that never be-
fore came under notice, or ifso had been forgot
ten that ''whcn Commodore BiGLle was paying
visit to japanese junk in Jcddo bay, in 1916,
sentry pushed Ism back into his gig, as he was
canbering over the bulwarks. The commodore 5
official wrath was kindcd; he returned to his
ship and sent pcremptory demand for an apollo
gy and indemnity for the insult. The reply was
returned rs speedily as the circumstances would
admit that the sentry had acted without orders,
but that his head, which had been already cut
off was at the commodore service
This was certainly nlaniicscing most accom-
modating disposition. and WAS all that could
be expected under the circumstances"

Gods Dav.

Sunday was always to Willie Goodhue Gods
day. He never spoke of it in any other way.
If his little sister asked, of a Sabbath morning,
Nv hat day is it, Willie" He would always
answer with a smile, as though he were glad,
"Why, don't you know, Many? 1t is Gods
day.
His older brother had gone away from home
on a visit; and Willie now missed him very much,
was anxiously watching for hisreturn. "Grand-
pa" said he, looking up from his play, do you
think Thomas will be home by next Gods day %
One Sunday, he found Many in corner of
the room, locking at box of jack-straws which
had been given him the day before Willie was
shocked not because Many had taken his play
things, but because she had them out on Sun
day. "Why, Many ~ he exclaimed, did you
forget it was Gods day %
WANTED to know what made the child speak
in this way. l thought it was beautiful, but
strange, for little fellow like him. So l called
him to my side, and asked:
awhile, why don't you say Sunday or Sabbath
day as We do"
Because said he, "grandpa told me once
that this was God S own day that he kept out of
the week for himself: lie gave us six days to
work and play in; but this he kept for himself
and grandpa said that we must never spend a
moment more than we could help for our business;
for, if we did. it would be stcaug-stcaling God S
hours, you know. And. so it s right t. call it
Gods day, isn't it | like to; and, besides it
makes me think and remember. I'm afraid [
should forget sometimes as Many does, if
didn't"
What Willie said made me feel ashamed cf
myself | couldn't help thinking how often [
hid forgotten and stolen Gods precious, holy
hours. May he forgive me.
