She has Drifted Away.

She has drifted away to the beautiful shore
To the shadowy homes of the seraph land,
And the white sails flash when her bark went oer,
We saw as we wept by the shining strand.
Oh our thoughts were full with the after years,
As she smiled her adieu DER the dark waves
crest,
And our eyes dropped downward mid silence
and tears,
And she drifted away-away to her rest.
She drifted away ere her girlhood's morn
Wore on to the ripeness of blushful day
Like a tender violet rudely shorn
From the flower crowned scepter of rosy May !;
Ere her poor hearts freshness grew sore and dim
Or the cherub of peace ceased to gladden. her
breast
Ere wild Woe chanted Hopes dying hymn
She drifted away-away to her rest.
She drifted away when Autumn came
With gorgeous pomp of crimson and gold,
When the forests were lit with his wings of flame
And the wandering winds blew drear and cold,
With her soft eyes bright with celestial fires,
And meek hands folded athwart her breast,
To the wild, sweet music of angel Tyres.
She drifted away-away to her rest.

A little girl who has been rebuked
by her mother for killing flies, and
told that God loved them, walked
slowly up to the window where be-
wildered fly was hummingand ouzzing
about on one pane. She watched it
lovingly for some time, and then, al
most too full of grief to speak plainly,
she began to utter carressing words.
" Doz ee fe know dat bod loves 90 :?
Doz 90 luv Dod?" Here she extended
her hand fondly toward the insect, as
if to stroke away the terror that she
had inspired. "Doz 90 want to see
Dod? Well" in tone of intense love
and pity, at the same time putting her
finger on the fly, and softly crushing
it against the pane,-"well, 90 shall" "

Beecher on Early Marriage.

From the late Plymouth Church Sermons.
Atno after period, perhaps, in their
life, do young men need the inspira-
ton of virtuous love and the sympa.
thy of a companion in their self-deny-
ing toll, as when they first enter the
battle for their own support. Early
marriages are permanent moralities,
and deferred marriages are tempta-
tions to wickedness. And yet every
year it becomes more and more diff
cult, concurrent with the reigning
ideas of society, for young men to
enter upon that matrimonial state
which is the proper guard of their vir-
tue, as well as the source of their
courage and enterprise. The battle
of life is almost always at the begin
ming. There it is that man needs
wedlock. But wicked and ridicu-
lous public sentiment puts man who
is in society. or out of society, for
that matter, largely on the ground of
condition, and not of disposition and
character. The man that has means
wherewith he can visibly live amply,
is in good society, as a general rule.
The man that has virtue and stern
manliness, but has nothing withal ex-
ternal to show, is not usually consid-
cred in good society. Ambitious
young men will not therefore marry
until they can meet their expenses ;
but that is deferring for years and
years the indispensable virtue. So
ciety is bad where two cannot live
cheaper than one! and young men
are under bad Influences who, when
in the very morning Of life, and bet
ter fitted than at any later period to
grow together with one who is their
equal and mate, are debarred from
marrying, through scores of years
from mere prudential considerations
and the heart and the life are sacri
feed to the pocket. They are tempted
to substitute ambition for love, wheI

Tom CORWIN.-"While Tom Corwiu
was a member of the General Assem-
bly, of the state of Ohio" says one of
our contemporaries, " he brought in a
bill for the abolition of public punish
ment at the whipping-post. He made
a speech thereon, to which an elder
ly member replied somewhat as fol-
lows:
"' Mr. Speaker, the gentleman is
not so old as | am, and has never seen
so much Of the particular operation
of the system of punishment which
he desires to abolish. When | lived
in Connecticut, if a fellow stole a
horse, or cut up any other rustics, we
used to tie him right up, and give him
a real good thrashing; and he always
cleared right out, and we never saw
anything more of him. It's the best
way of getting rid of rogues that was
ever tried, and without expense to the
state. Corwin rose in reply:
"'Mr. Speaker, | have been often
puzzled to account for the vast in
migration from Connecticut to the
West; but the gentleman last up has
explained it to my entire satisfaction
The bill was passed without further
discussion.

WILCOX & GIBBS
SEWING MACHINES
FOR
FORTY-FIvE DOLLARS.

About "Factory worn" single threaders, "adver-
tised by other parties" (see Express for no
chant tailor, or any other tailor ever uses loop
stitch machine, but double threaders only.
Why don't tailors use the Wilcox s. Gibbs
Machines Answer-because it makes the loop
stitch and lift gets unlooped at the end of the
seam, the seam will pull open without breaking
the thread. Try it, and then you will know why
tailors don't use them.
But the Wilcox & Gibbs agent told us it made
the "twisted loop" stitch, and "fast seam," and
that it was "frst class" machine, and run worry
still. and it cost sos with a small cover and Bar
mum self seam.
Did the agent make you believe it made fast
seam; Yes; and he proved it by cutting off
part of the stitches on the right side and then it
would hold to pull hard upon, straightacross the
seam.
So will the seam of any Of the little cheap loop
stitch machines if managed Just in that way, but
that does not hinder the seam pulling open, ifit
happens to get unlooped, neither does the high
price that you paid for it, its running still,
nor its twisted loop, make it any safer than the
work of machine that costs but SIS. The twist
is only to twist S25 or $50 more out of your
pocket than you ought to pay for them, thinking
that You are getting a fast stitch machine, when
in fact it is only loop stitch, is well known,
is liable to let your garments part asunder at
times when you would choose to be clothed rath-
er than naked.
Husband" said Mrs. G. "what kind of ma
chine did Mrs. D. stitch my dress on"
"Why, on her new Wilcox & Gibbs"
"Well, the first time wore it, one of the bias
ing seams in the waist pulled open. One stitch
broke, and then cne side pulled off. leaving the
loops of thread in the other side. Now, will
never have another stitch of work done on it,
nor any other loop stitch machie, and when you
get me a sewing machine, you may order me fast

stitch, and it runs much stiller than any of the
old style shuttle machines, and the shuttle is
very easily threaded and regulated. 1t costs
only a trife more than the Wilcox & Gibbs, and
would sooner buy it if it cost siz times as much,
| for, as Governor Hartman of N. H, said in his
letter to Judge Ba rrett 81 regard it as far ahead
of any other sewing machine in existence" and
certainly think it very silly to pay great price

Drunkenness is on the increase in
Russia. The consumption of alcohol
ic drinks has increased in the empire
since 1863 over one hundred per
cent. The number of persons who
died in drunkenness last year in Rus
sia was 2, 2,T48, seven and halt a day.
In a single district, that of Kazan, the
deaths from intemperance have risen
from II in 1854 to III in 1864. At
Moscow, according to the statistics
furnished by the Chief of Police, the
number of persons arrested for drunk
enness was,in 1912, 1924, and 22,794
in 1868. Who will send temperance
missionaries to Russia?

Your admirable needle woman is the only
seamstress that defes extortionate men. They
cannot cheat it, nor starve it, nor deprive it of

wearied and avaricious manufacturer. AT last

that cannot be oppressed nor kept in suffering.

Down on Chloride Flat, says a
White Pine paper, there is a miners
cabin, built out of chunks of Ligh-grade
chloride ore, estimated at $4,000 a

and the rocks in the walls, if crushed,
would yield about $4,000. That
house is for sale.

So they laid them down on the mat at the door,
While the old woman finished sweeping the

capital of the United States 10 that city

dered to that project by the Chicago news
papers is considered as influenced by in
sincere motives. St. Louis has put her
self so prominently forward that the

aroused, and the journals now think that
it would have been wiser to have secured
first an agitation and strong public SEN
timent in favor of removal to some point
in the Mississippi Valley. and then 10
have brought forward the claims of ST
