One evening last week a pale delicate
young girl with a world of pathos in
her large blue eyes, was wheeled into
the Tabernacle in an elegant little hand
coach, and an opportunity given her to
relate her experience. She had for
years been an invalid unable to walk
but her soul was filled with divine
love, and an earnest desire to attend
this National Camp Meeting inspired
her with almost superhuman effort to
make the attempt. She said her SOULS
sincere desire had long been to become
an efficient labOrer in the vineyard of
the blessed Master, and now despite her
terrible afflietiOn she rejoiced with ex-
-eeeeding great joy; counting the afflic-
stiOns of this life as but for moment,
booking forward to the recOmpense. of
Teward. Her thin pale hands were. eIas-
ped and the love-light of perfect con-
secratiOn iIlumined her countenance as
her tremulOus lips breathed forth the
inspiration of her soul. Her fair hair
was brushed with a careless grace back
from her white, pure forehead and rip
pied over the pillows like little waves
of sunshine. How fair she looked
How pure in her ETHEREAL loveliness.-
IF such as she are conscious of imper-
lection and frailty and of the great need
OF the renewing power Of the Holy Spir-
it, and of more perfect conservation to
God, what a fearful need presses upon
the souls of us more earthly ones whose
hearts and souls are not unblemished
with the taint of earth.
On motion Of MI. Stanley, a commit
tee consisting of Messrs. Stanley, Will
liams, Hall, Byers and HaIladay was
appointed to take the necessary action
to procure tent after the model of the
tabernacle tent for the use Of the Ohio
Conference in its meetings.
1t is understood that the tent will be
procured in season for the meeting of
Conference at Washington Court House
in October.

Nearer Home.

One swectIy solemn thought
Comes 10 me DER and DER;
I'm nearer my home to-day
Than 1 eyer have been before;
Nearer my Fathers house,
Where the many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea;
Nearer the bound Of life,
Where we lay our burdens down;
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown.
But the waves Of that silent sea
Roll dark before my sight,
That brightly the other side
Break on a shore Of light
Oh, ifmy mortal feet
Have almost gained the brink,
lit be lam nearer home
Even to-day than think
Father, perfect my trust,
Let my spirit feel in death
That her feet is firmly set
Onthe Roel, ofa living faith. E

BY WM. ERCKNANN-CITATR
At the extreme end of the village of
Dosenheim, i'll AIsace, few steps above
the sandy footpath which leads TO the
wood, stands pretty little house sur
rounded by fruit trees, its fiat roof laden
with heavy stones, its gabled front pro-
jecting over the valley. Flights of pig
cons are whirling about, hens scratching
under the hedges: upon the little gard
en- wall is perched a cock whose crow is
repeated by the echoes of the FalbeFg;
two branches ola vine cover the front
of the house and spread themselves out
under the roof; a staircase with wooden
railing, on which clothes are hanging
out TO dry, leads up to the first story.
Mount this staircase, and at the end of
a short passage you come to the kitchen
with its plates and dishes and fat soup
tureens; open the door on your right,
and you enter the large sitting-room,
with its old oak furniture, its ceiling
supported by heavy brown beams, its
Old-fashioned Nuremburg clock ticking
the time.
A woman about thirty-five years old,
wearing a closely fitting bodice of black
silk and black velvet cap, with wide
hanging ribbons, is sitting there spin
ming.
a man in a plush coat and brown
breeches, with wide forehead, and calm,
thoughtful expression, is whistling to q
fat, chubby-faced boy, and jumping him
on his knee.

'fCounty Politics.,


Under this head the Niles Lndepend-
ant Of last week publishes an article
over a column in length, the main
and probably the only purpose Of
Of which is to excite opposition
TO any gentleman, who may hap
pen to be a resident of Warren, re-
eeiving a nomination for a county
Office. The article complains that
candidates residing in Warren are
not unfrequently successful in obtain
ing nominations. Certainly a resi-
dence in this city should not be a bar
10 candidacy for an Office. But if the
people Of the county are of opin-
ion that it should, they have the need
ed power to punish all such presump-
tuous gentlemen. The county nomi-
mating convention to be holden on the
22d inst, will be composed of seventy
five delegates, and of that numberthe
city and township of Warren will be
entitled to eleven. 1t can not be fairly
claimed that with only about one vote
to seven, the city has the power to
dictate the nominations, in spite of
the balance of the county.
Then as to the present offices, there
are not half the offices in the Court
House now held by persons who were
citizens of Warren when elected.
Judge Yeomans came from Kinsman;
Capt. Moses, Recorder, from Hartford;
Mr.. Kennedy came from Pennington
to fill q olerkship in the Auditors
Office; Sheriff Dickinson had but re-
come from Johnson. Althree
ofthe County Commissioners are from
the country, and from time immemor-
ial that office has been filled by gen
tlemen living outside the county seat.
The melting cause of the plaintive
in the Independent is discov-
cradle in the concluding paragraph
Of its jeremiad. We are therein in
formed that the b~dependant has a
for the poorest paying
ofice in the Court House"-that Of
Prosecuting Attorney-and that it
nervOusly solicitous that w. T.
SPEAR, Esq, should not prove more
han a match for A. ]. DYER, Esq.
Now, gentlemen of the hadepen-
liant, we beg you not to exercise your
selves up to 1902 in the shade. Re-
member that while The dog-star reign
and the elements glow with fur
1ace fervor, you should aim to keep
,ool, and try to console yourselves
With the hope that when the day OK
he convention comes around, the
people will settle the vexed question
satisfactorily to themselves, at least,
~ nominating the best man for the
poorest Office in the Court House.

We wish to give the Chronicle to I'M
derstand, that we prefer the success of
temperance principles, to the success OF
seheming politicians, even though they
be in the Republican party. Will the
Chronicle say this for us?-AGhoRiHg
Courier.
We prefer to let you say it for your
sell, hence quote the foregoing. Doubt
less ~you'really desire the success of tenn
persnce principles. 1t looks, however,
that in your anxiety to do something for
those principles you are so blind to the
real necessities of the times that you are
more likely to do the cause substantial
injury than to advance it. We honestly
believe that there is no hope for anti
liquor legislation, in Ohio, outside of the
Republican party. Our personal oppor-
tunities for observing the course of
legislation on that question for the four
years last past, constrains us to arrive
al the conclusion that the Republican
party Of Ohio is a good enough temper
ance party for all practical purposes
Gentlemen who are fond Of dabbling in
the theoretical and impracticable, of
course are never satisfied with anything
sublunary.

The Mahoning Courier complains
that the CHRONICLE misrepresented
1t in regard t0fthe Vienna ale barrel
performance. That is apoor way Of
attempting to back out Of an unjusti-
fable insinuation against a Repubh-
can candidate and an outspoken ad-
vocate OF sound temperance legisla-
ton. The Courier has a weakness for
going off half cooked. It manifestly
lust now has 8 violent itching to be
considered the mouth piece Of the Ill
ira prohibitionists, heneeits intemper-
ate and impracticable zeal, leading 1t
to play second fiddle tothe Democrats
who expect throughthe Vaccinations
ofths Courier defectionists to elect q
Democratic representative in Mahon-
ing county. We would just remark
to the Courier that a Republican leg
islature, in the winter Of 1870, placed
upon the statute books of Ohio the
most efficient and practicable temper
ance law ever enacted by any State, or
that is now q Law in any State in the
Union. And II the whole hog or
nothing gentlemen who want i'm
possibilities; if they ever have any
definite idea of what they do wan,
would take the pains and spend the
time necessary to secure a faithful
fulfllment and execution Of the pres
ent excellent Republican temperance
law, instead of worrying so much
about what other people ought to do,
they might possibly be Of some real
benefit to the cause Of temperance.

Hon. Samuel F. Hunt, late State
Senator from Hamilton county, and
present Democratic candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, having been
Intercepted by the editor of the Nj
ners Journal as to his reason for re-
fusing to support the Miners Bill
while it was before the Senate, and
also why he refused to votei in favor Of
appointing the mine inspecting COM
missioners. replied by letter, which is
published in the Journal. Mr.. Hunt
excuses his remissness on account Of
want Of suficienttime to consider the
provisions Of the bill. But the fact
is the bill was introduced by Senator
Dougherty at least six weeks before
the close Of the session, speedily refer
red toa select committee, before whom
appeared, indifferent occasions, sever
al gentlemen representing the cause Of
the miners, and also gentlemen oper-
ators, who were opposed to the bill
becoming q law. That Mr.. Hunt
should be so ignorant Of the proceed
ings had in the Senate in regard to the
bill, as to say, as he does in his letter,
that "There was no one to my knowl-
edge, from the mining sections te rep
resent their interests and urge the
passage Of the bill during the session."
is admittingt that he was culpably in
different to business that attracted a
great deal Of attention and discussion
inthe Senate. Now we are per- onally
cognizant of the fact that for about
two months of the session there were
two miners present urging the
passage Of the bill -Messrs. Roy and
Lewis of this county. But they were
plain, unassuming men, and Of course
it level occurred to Mr.. Hunts mind
that men Of their professions could
possibly have any business with Sena-
tors. The fact is that Mr.. Hunt is a
young gentlemen more ambitious to
array himself in fashionable attire,
and to excel as a popular beau, than
to be esteemed an industrious legisla-
tor. He has no more sympathy with
the toiling millions than has the Car
of Russia.

The gainesville Narrow Gauge r. r.
We happened in gainesville one day
last week, and had an opportunity Of
learning and seeing something concern
ing the narrow gauge line o frailroad now
in course Of construction from Paines-
vile, or Fairport harbor, on Lake Erie,
to the coal fields and iron furnaces and
mills in the Mahoning Valley. The COM
pany have determined to build a road Of
three feet gauge. Work has commenced,
and several hundred hands are now n
gagged in grading on the road bed be-
tween gainesville and Chardou. By the
terms Of the stock subscription the cars
are to be running between the above
named places by the first OF January,
1872. The company is sanguine thatt the
line will be in operation to Chardon
by Thanksgiving day. During the past
week engineers have been down along
the line as far as the northern part OF
this county. Inasmuch as the subscrip-
tons to the stock south of Chardon are
conditioned to be payable If the entire
line shall be completed in 1872, it is
reasonable to believe that this company
is in earnest in this enterprise, and APP
pearances certainly would seem to indi-
cate that it is to be pushed persistently
forward to completion within the next
sixteen months.
Now is the time for Warren to take
earnestly hold of the Warren, Vienna
and Sharon Railroad. The opinion
seems quite universal that this road
should be Of three feet gauge, and that
1t should be built forthwith-at least in
time to meet the gainesville road on its
reaching Warren during next summer
or fall. We are glad to observe that
much interest and a very friendly feel
ing generally exists among our citizens
the Vienna road, and If words
an ything real, it would seem that
the money required to build the road
could be raised without serious diff
Guilty. 1t is a foregone conclusion that
the future prosperity Of Warren, and
also the welfare Of the agricultural in
terest for miles around us, are to be
promoted by the construction Of
a road that would bring cheap coal to
this point for use in manufacturing.
We want an Independent line Of road,
owned by persons interested in making
1t tributary to the prosperity Of the
place. But this whole matter is so
familiar to almost every one, that words
need not be multiplied in its advocacy.
The point to make is, that the Paines-
vile road will soon be britt. Probabili-
ties favor the building, at no late day,
also, Of the Ashtabula road. With these
new lines, and those already in opera
lion through here, it would seem that
The question Of connections for the
Vienna rood is not involved in insuper-
able diff .ulties. Instead OF being die
.ated to, as to conditions Of connection,
5erms Of receiving and Transporting its
&c, it is altogether likely that
Dur road will have the advantage Of
strings to its bow, when the
for music arrives.

Church RuIIdIng.

Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler, D. D., in q
recent letter to the N. Y. Evangelist,
says: 1.-THE first thing in a church is
good hearing. I am always thankful
that my own people modelled Lafayette
Avenue Church after Mr.. Beecher's.
Prof Henry, of the Smithsonian Insti-
tute," Of Washington, has pronounced
those two churches the finest models for
good acoustics in the land. And such
capable judges of audience rooms as Mr..
Cough, Rev. Newman Hall, and Mr..
Chidlaw have endorsed Prof Henry's
opinion. A sermon once lost among
gothic arches and columns and ~cleresto-
ries, rarely finds its way to any human
BAL or conscience. The best constructed
audience-room should be nearly as broad
as it Is long, with q ceiling about forty
feet high; the pews should be in semi
circles, and the aisles converge to the
pulpit"
We publish this for the benefit o fcon-
gregations about to build. Its too much
the fashion TO sacrifice "good hearing
to aesthetics. Most churches are too
long and not wide enough for goodhe hear
ing. t5s

National Industrial Exposition.

The Fortieth Exhibition of the In
dustries of our land, to be held by the
American Institute in New York city,
commences September :, and will
continue to Nov. 4. We have had
the pleasure of attending two of these
great exhibitions, held in an immense
structure in the upper part of the city,
and found it on each occasion to be
one of those interesting sights, in the
shape of a grand fair where can be
seen the choicest productions ofartists,
artisans, inventors, manufacturers,
hortierlturists &c, &c. There can be
seen the best and most recent tri-
umphs OF American skilled products,
as well as the latest and most APPROX
ed manufacture, in SEXUAL operation.
1t is 8 sight indeed worth seeing.
Should any Of our readers be in New
York during the time of ae exhibit
ton, they should not deny themselves
the pleasure Of a visit.
