But tie that is wholly human,

With her own dear name of-Jennie.

Too Bads-Bro. Balsley, Of the Fremont
Journal, who is as ugly as a mud fence, and
whose melodious voice would frighten q mule,
gets of the following. IN the first few lines he
would have it inferred that he has "been out
amongst them,D but we don't believe it, for
we do not think there is any girl in Fremont
SO hard up as togo with him;-F Findlay Courier.
Then follows our little doggeral about sleigh-
ing, which the editor of the Courier would
have been glad to cabbage, if it hadn't been
for twinge of conscience. We have nought
against thee, Brother GLEssNER, but yet, for
thy edifcation and enlightenment, we win ro-
late, in choicest verse, legend with moral,
which, if thou can'st find it, will lessen thy
vanity and produce a proper feeling Of humih-
ty. Listen:
One day a rather homsly man was walking in
the wood,
And as he walked he muttered, as though he
understood
That nature had been liberal, with al its varied
creatures,
But most munifcent had been TO him of ugly
features.
he started at the cry Of "halt!' and halted in
his walk,
he raised his eyes affrighted, and though he
tried TO talk,
His tongue stood still, as stood tho sun, on
Gibeon's battle hight,
When Joshua commanded his eyes glnred
at the sight.
Had no seen his face reflected from polished
mirror bright,
He might have started, but his eyes would not
have tokened fright;
But fore him stood phantom gaunt, uncouth
unshorn, ungainly,
And in his hand he held a gun-and thus he
spoke out plainly.
.Stranger, Avauntl prepare to die, for thee |
have been seeking
days, and now on thee my vengence
I'll be reeking;
I've vowed a vow, in which thy fate hath deep
ly taken root
That ugier man than I, If met I certainly
would shootl7
Stranger the irston hearing this, became most
strangely calm,
Looked at his threatener with smile, as
though he'd found balm
For many wounds, then smoothly said, advanc-
ing foot by foot,
f 'oorse than thee thour't sure look, shoot
stranger, pray thee, sboot."
There now, Brother Glessner, let us enjoy
,ur ugliness and our euphonious voice alone; if
lot, we viii come down to see thee, and then
hou'lt be obliged to "Shoot" us-in the neck,
with healthy supply of provender, and
'ther things whereof we viii not speak.

THE RECREANT PASTOR.
Story of his Folly -StatementO of Miss
J0hEOH'S Fatlaers.An Interview
With COOk-s.NObOdYH Hurt.ss q.

The n. Y. Times of the 18th says that on
Friday afternoon, as Miss johnson was return
ing from school, she was met by Cook, who
joined her and walked with her some distance,
talking with her as usual. Finally he proposed
that she should go to the Everett House, and
by various threats and representations indue-
ed her to accompany him. Miss johnson
states that educated as she was to regard her
pastor with reverence and to look upon him
as her spiritual and temporal guide, she nc
companed him unhesitatingly. Arrived at the
hotel Cook registered Miss johnson as his
sister, under the name of Miss Mary Campbell
andshe was assigned a room. Here her father.
yesterday morning discovered her, and with
her returned to her home.
Mr.. Johnston, upon whom our reporter called
last evening, states that at present he is disin-
cllned to make public the facts in the case
which have come TO his knowledge, but that
he has every reason to believe that nothing
has tTanspired which affects the innocence or
purity OF his child; that owing to the excitable
and exciting ordeal which she had passed he
has been unable as yet to converse with her
fully, and that until she becomes calneI he
shall not attempt to do So He saws further
that the proprietors and employees OF the hotel
assure him that during the time of his daughterT
absence from home Cook has only called at
the hotel once or twice, each time in the day,
and remaining but few moments at a time
He was at the hotel yesterday morning, and it
was then probably that he wrote the letter
referred to above. In regard to the failing Of
his daughter to notify her parents of her
whereabouts, he states that, having once taken
the fatal step, although innocent, she was
afraid to communicate with her home, not
knowing how her parents would receive her.
1t it his impression that Cooke from the var
ious accounts which had appeared IN the
public press, was forced, by the pressure of
public opinion and failure to accomplish ms
infamous purpose, to take the step he did, and
disclose his own identity and the hiding place
OF his victim.
Since Friday,and, upon leaving the girl at the
Everett House, Cooke has been, as was stated
by Mr.. johnson, "hoating around" He visited
Jersey City and Railway, n. j., and was
several times in this city. He was unable to
remain quiet in any one place, and ever since
the abduction has been IN a most unhappy
frame OF mind. Strange as it may seem, he was
unrecognized by any one who previously knew
him, and it was not until he voluntarily courted
publicity that his whereabouts were discover
cd
At o'clock this morning Cooke was visited
by q representative Of the Times at his cell IN
the Station House Of the Second Police. When
his visitor entered the prison he was standing
at the grating He appeared IN mn excfted
state OF mind, but was rational on all points
During the interview he paced the cell, at
times pressing his hands to his brow and

Let Common sense Decide,

What is the rational mode Of procedure in cases
of general debility and nervous prOstrationl Does
not reason tells us that udieious stn ulatiOn is
quired. To resort to violent pursation in such
case Is an absurd as it would be TO bleed starving
man. Yet it is done every day. Yes, this stupid
and unphiosophical practice is continued in the
teeth of the great fact that physical weakness;
with all the nervous disturbances that accompany
it. is more certainly and rapidly relieved By
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters than by any ether
medicine at present known 1t is true that
general debility is often attended with torpidity
or irregularity of the bowels, and that this symp
tom must not be overlooked. But while the dis
charge of the waste matter Of the system is ezpe-
dited or yuafed, its vigor must be recruited. The
Bitters do both. They combine aperient and anti
bilious properties, with extraordinary tonic pow
er. Even Whine removing distractions from the
bowels, they tone and invigorate those organs.
Through the stomach, upon which ihe great vege-
table specific acts directly, it gives healthy and
permanent impetus to every enfeebled function,
Digestion IS facilitated, the faltering circulation
regulated the blood reinforced with new access
sion Of the alimentary principle, the nerves
braeed, and all the dormant powers Of the system
reused into healthy action not spasmodieziiy, as
would be the case if a mere stimulant were ad-
ministered, but for continuance. It Is in this
way that such extraordinary changes are wrought
in the condition of the feeble emaeiated and ner-
vous invai5s by the use Of this wonderful eorrec-
tive, alternative and tonic Let common sense de-
eide between such a preparation and Frustrating
eathartie supplemented BY poisonous astringent
like stTyehnine or quinia.

Suspicious VisitOr,-An evil eyed indi-
viduai from furrin parts, crept into town, on
saturday night, and proceeding to the house of
Mrs A B Taylor, on Arch st., succeeded in ef-
fecting an entrance unnoticed. It being too
early to make a successful search for plunder,
he slowed himself away under bed, to await
a late hour when he could steal with "none
to molest or make him afraid" but "eternal
vigilance" forsook his burglarship, and the
hour for action found him fast asleep. When
he awoke, be found it high time for him to find
the outer world, if he would escape detection,
and started for the door. On his way he was
obliged to pass through room occupied by a
son of Mrs. Taylor. who happened to be awake
at the time, and seeing a man in his room, he
inquired his business. The thief drew plug
Of tobacco and threatened to Rre, if any roise
was made. The plug of tobacco did not re-
semble pistol closely enough to frighten Mr.
Taylor who called to his brother and started
for the intruder, who had hastened down
stairs; but not finding egress easy, he hid un-
der piano, where he was found, and solicited
in an effective manner to come forth When
questioned as to his business there, he refused
to disclose the object Of his visit, He was
taken to the proper home of such wanderers
and put in charge of Sheriff Young.

Storm and FlOOd.-Quite extensive DANA
ges are reported from different places, visited
by the severe storm Of the 18th. At Cave CITY
Kentucky, about fifty houses were demolished,
among which were the Masonic Lodge and
Church. Nine or ten persons are reported
killed, and large number wounded. The
rain poured in torrents, and women and child
ren were driven from their homes into the
freezing rain, without sufficient clothing or
shelter. About sixty families were rendered
homeless, and in immediate need of assistance.
In Cincinnati, heavy storm Of rain and
hail fell, accompanied by thunder and light
ming, doing considerable damage, from over
flowed cellars. The Little Miami was within
two feet Gifts highest water mark.
In Dayton, and Miamisburg, churches were
considerably damaged, by the wind. The en-
bankments on Hamilton and Dayton R. r.,
were washed away. The water in the Sciote
River was higher than it had been for wears.
Trains from Cincinnati to Columbus were de-
layed, by the bridges being washed away.
In the city of Shelby, Tenn, the Medical
College, and the depot of the Nashville
and Decatur Railroad, was destroyed. steples
were blown from churches, and several resi-
dences, more or less damaged. The storm ey-
tended to Murfreesboro, where several houses
were unroofed.
The low lands on the Maumee river. were
submerged and cleared of fences, and corn, by
the food. Michael Hayes, of Perrysburg lost
between 400 and 800 bushels of corn. which
was carried off in the shock. In Toledo. the
Cherry street bridge, was partly torn away by
the moving ice, the lower parts OF the city
were under water.

The principal damage ARISES from delays in
