A Singular Adventure.

Once upon time traveller stepped into
a stage>coach. He was a young man
starting In life. He found six passengers
about him, all grayheaded and extTemsiy
aged men. Tho youngest appeared 10

young traveller struck with the singularly
mild and happy aspect which dis,in-
gulshed all his fellow w>passengers, de-
termined to ascertain the secret Of q long
life and art OF making cid age comfortable.
lie addressed the one apparently the
eldest, who told him he had always led
regular and abstemious life, eating veg
etables and drinking wafer. The young
man was rather daunted a; this. inasmuch
as he liked the good things OF this life. Ho
addressed the second, who astonisbed him
by saying he had always eaten rcast bsef
and gone TO bed regularly fuddled for tho
last seventy years, adding. ali depended on
regularity. The third had prolonged bis
days by never seeking or accepting Office;
the fourth by resolutely abstaining from all
political and religious controversies; and
the ffth by going to bed at SUNSET a.d
rising at dawn. Tho sixth was apparently
much younger. than the other hve-his
hair was less gray and there was more OF
it--a placid smile, denotinG a perfectly
easy conscience, mantled his face, and his
voice was jocund and strong. %. =.
They were all surprised TO learn that he
was by ten years the eldest man In the
coach.
"How Is 1t that you have preserved the
freshness OF life r. exclaimed our young
traveller,
The old gentleman Immediately answered

remark, ''but always pay promptly for

IN SEARCH OF A HOME.
We once had home and place where
TO rest,
Kind fortune did smile and with her we
were blest;
But now we are pilgrims and still we must
roam.
So onward VIC go In search of home.
Strangers we have been. but kind friends
we have met;
Although hard is our fortune and sad Is
our fate,
We have left our much loved one no lon>
ger to roam,
Whilst onward we GO in search of a
home.
Our own native mountains we have left
far behind,
In the land of adoption home we shall
fnd,
And thus whilst we wander, were not left

So onward we go IN search of home.

As onward we 90 in search of home.
No lion is there 10 disturb or molest,
But the bright iwinkiing star that guides
TO the West,
We will seek for Its light and its glorious
renown,
AS onward we 60 in search of a home.
On the ocean Of life once more we set
sail,
Jehovah's S our pilot, We fear not the gale,
He'll guide and direct to the land of the
biest,
And safely well glide to our haven of
rest.
A farewell 10 our fienJis, how sat- is the
word:
May your souls ever rest secure in the
Lord,
May your moments of life be calm and Ee-
rene
In the sweet blooming Eden wei meet
you again.
To the man of revenge, Oh, what shall we
say?
The black ball of hate its victims would
slay:
An eye for an eye, shall this be the word?
The battle we'll fight, but Love is the
Sword.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind.
MEssHs- EpIToRs.-A visit just made to
this steadily growing little city of Central
Indiana has suggested some things which
may be OF interest and use 20 some of
your readers.
On the way down we had rare treat
in the reading of Henry Ward Beecher's
sermon on hdsting to be rich, a timely,
pointed and stirring discussion of that
theme. If anybody thinks that this mex
haustible preacher, a well of living water
indeed, is drifting away from bible re-
ligion and doctrine, let him read tbs dis
course and feel the solemn power with
which he brings the great word to bear
upon the subject. But brief passage in
the sermon has special application to q
form of unchristian zeal which sometimes
prevails in the Christian Churches. 1t is
that of getting members away from other
churches The preacher characterizes 1t
as church stealing and justly is il TINS
characterized. 1t is the taking Of that
which does not belong to the proselyte
my more than does the stolen property to
! the thief And besides the disgrace of
such conduct before the world, there is
the waste of energy and persuasion and
influence in weakening and impeding tue
cause of Christ rather than the opposite.
For what is gained by the disturbance of
church relations in one quarter for the ad-
vantage of another--in the removal o. q
member from one church to another
The aggregate strength of the church is
not increased; and the strength and skill
which should be employed in making con-
verts from toe world Is thus wasted. Be-
sides such conduct results in the banish-
ment from the heart of that spirit without
which there can be no real progress In
christian life or christian work.
Ard the same Is true of the sabbath
schools. 1t is no more right to induce
scholars already belonging to one school
to leave it and join another than 1t is to
take by the exertien of sundry, secret in
f1uences . member from one church to
another. 1t is species of thieving that
ia dishonorable and injurious. Christians
as the children ofthe glorious God, should
disdain such practice. 1t is not worthy
of such high pretensions and will meet
with the desired disspprobation. II any
where LOFTY spirit of honor and geuerosi.
ty should prevail IL is in the christian
church and 1t should inspire every chris
! tian worker.

THE ELECTIONS.

/ Elections were held on Tuesday
OF this week in quite a number OF
States. They were Of a more or
less local character, yet involved
some points of national importance.
We can give complete returns only
so far as received up to the time of
going to press. In tie city Of Chi
cago the Citizens ticket" COM
posed Of half Republicans aud half
Democrats, in opposition to ticket
by tie so-called "Court-House
ring" was successful. A great re-
formation is expected in conse-
quence and Chicago appeals to New
York and other cities plymouth
included) 10 GO and do likewise
The state itself mas gone Republican
as usual, but with some splendid
gains. Wisconsin has gone in the
same way. Minnesota in the same
way. A Temperance ticket was
run but did not amount to any
thing. Massachusetts, has gone Re-
publican as usual. In New York
state the Democratic party has prob
ably been successful as the state
could not overcome the vote of
New York city, and the questions
at issue did not rouse much interest.
The fraudulent voting in New York
city was enormous. We shall have
to wait however, for full returns in
order to give the exact gains and
losses. New Jersey is divided as
usual with gains and losses and the
balance favorable to the Republi.
cans. Maryland returns are not
reported to any great extent except
in the city of Baltimore which went
Democratic. In Kansas little inter
est was taken in the election and
only half vote was polled. In
general, better members have been
chosen for the Legislature than
formerly. We shall hereafter pre-
sent a summary ofthe political sit
lation for the year, and point out
he gains in the elections of this
week that are Of national import
lnce.

THE STEAMBOAT HORROR

Last Thursday night about seven
O'Clock one CT the most terrible dis
asters that ever occurred in our
Western waters took place at Neely's
Landing, below Grand Tower on the
Mississippi River. Tie packet
Stonewall vas burned and about
two hundred lives were lost. She
had great quantity of hay on board
which caught from the pipe of one
of a card playing group. Tie alarm
was given and the bow of the boat
was turned toward the shor,. But
the boat ran upon a sand bar in
water seven feet deep, and nearly
the whole number on board PERISH
ed. In fifteen minutes the entire
boat was in flames, and only one
yawl was attached to the boat for
use. That was soon filed and it
foated away. All the rest Of the
passengers threw themselves into
the water. The sand bar was two
hundred yards from shore. In an
hour all was oyer, and only thirty
to fifty had struggled to land. There
were two hundred and fifty on board
including officers and crew, when
the fire broke out, of course the sad
catastrophe was the result Of care
lessness. and the great loss the re-
suit of want Of proper provisions
for such an event, hut these con-
siderations do not take away the
gloom of such a horror.
