T TRUST,

40 not ask that God shall always make
My pathway light.
only pray that He will hold my hand
Throughout the night;
do not hope to have the thorns removed
A That pierce my feet.
only ask to find His blessed arms
sN My safe retreat.
II NO atfiicts me- then, in my distress,
Withholds His hand,
II all His wisdom cannot receive
Or understand
40 not thin . always know His why
Or wherefore here;
But sometimes lie will take my hand anil make
His meaning clear
IL IN HIS furnace lie reines my heal
To make it pure.
only ask Tor grace to trust His love
Strength to endure;
ANA 1t herce storms beat round me- and the heavens
He overcast
Iknow that lie will give His weary one
Sweet peace at last.

CLOVER FOR lIoGS.-An Ohio hog-rasei
advocates the system of pasturing on clover
during the summer. He presents, Il, the ad-
vantage of his plan, the statement that IN
acre OF ground in clover will pasture five hogs
f0ar months, and that it will take the corn
from half an acre to feed them the same time
The cultivation of the corn he counts equal t.
the rest of the other half acre. He further
claims that hogs pastured on clover are in faI
better condition than if fed on corn, as they
are better framed healthier, and eat better
and also states that the land is enriched by the
clover paSturng.

mass meeting to consider the cause of the
present decentralization The call for til
meeting has been signed by many of the best
citizens of Chicago, and it is intimatcd that
they will seek to encourage a more stringent
enforcement ofthe present laws regulating the
sale OF liquor. The evidence in most of the
recent murder cases in that city shows that
drunkenness was at the bottom of the murders
committed; and hence, probably, the determi-

prerogutivc Of the press to correct and

Let no one take anything that has

that should be the case, then let him

Why DID Jacob Weepl

jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up bis

face clean, we cant see that Jacob had
much to weep about New York Globe.

him in the face ?-N. o. Delta.
Gentlemen hold your tongues. The
cauee of Jacobs weeping was the refusal
Of Rachel to allow him to kiss her again.

cause he hadn't kissed her before, and
regretted the time he had lost-Age.
Green-verdent, all Of you. The
fellow boohooed because she didn't kiss
him in return.-Lancaster Advertiser.
Jacob was q man that labored in the
field. When he kissed Rachel, he had
just returned from his labors, and had
not washed his lips. After he had soilcd
kachel's ckeek, he wept for fear she
would think he was one of the "free soil
ers. - Detroit Free Press.
No, gentleman, none Of you are cor
rect. The reason Jacob wcpt was, he

The reason Jacob wept was because
Rachel would not let Lin stop kissing

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1.-THE st. Louis bound pas.
senger train, on the Rockford, Rock Island & St
Louis X. r., which was due at Alton Junction at
6:lO this forenoon, when about three quarters OF
mile below Upper Alton, colliied with the
freight train going north. The baggage car and
first coach telescoped and Immediately took fire.
Most of the passengers were caught between the
seats of the car and terrible scene eusued, il
being very difficult To get out Of the car. -Four
charred bodies were taken frOm the wreck: JO-
seph Tweesin, Mrs. Reuben Raines and two 9th,
ers not identified. Among the most seriously
wounded are Reuben Raines, L. Bainhardt, A.
Manbe, NJ. Cannon, Fred Bugle and several 9TH
ers, in all, four were killed, and fourteen woun-
ded. The freight train was behind time and
should have taken the side track at the junction,
but it kept straight on. The conductor Of the
freight train, named Baker, jumped of, when the
collision occurred and sought safety in fight.
The whole responsibility Of the accident rests
with him.
passenger who was on the train says one
man, name unknown, was caught in the timbers
of the by the feet only, but efforts to relieve
him were futile. An axe was cent for at his re-
quest to cnt his feet off, but before it arrived the
flames reached him and be WAS burned to death.

D0uRlas for Grant.

The New National Era, edited by Frederic
Douglas, has an honest, manly article in favor of
the reelection of President Grant i'm 1S72. The
reasons given are admirable, and they are pre-
sented very forcibly. We give the article entire
1t is now timely and proper to make known to
our respected readers and friends our fixed and
unconditional purpose to support L. 5. Grant for
denomination and reelection, by the Republican
party, to the Presidency in lS72. We do this be-
cause upon the whole we consider his nomination
the most conducive to the unity and ascendency
of the great Republican party, and to the prog
ress and completion of the great work devolved
upon the Nation by the late war; We do so be-
cause he is an honest man, answering in pur-
pose, wise and temperate III measures. We do SO
because he is tried man, and has proved HIM
self worthy of all confidence in guiding the ship
of state in whatever storms may arise, as well as
those which have already arisen. We do SO be-
cause he is friend of civil service reform and
that he will use his wisest and best influence to
purge the Government of corruption, and that he
will render all its Departments pure aud etf-
cient any man can i'll his position possibly ren-
der them. We do SO because he is friend to the
Indian, and is the first President of the United
States who has recommended policy which, in
our judgment, can save that much abused race
from cruel wars and ultimate extinction. We do
SO because he is firm and unfiinchng in his meas
ures to enforce the Constitution and the laws for
the protection of all the rights of our newly ell
franchsed people, and thus to secure to that peo-
pie, with all Others, an equal chance in the race
of life We do SO because, whatever mistakes he
may have made during his term of office, as
the spots upon the sun, compared with the emf
nent success which has distinguished his Admin
istratiOn. We do SO because among all the able
and patriotic statesmen thus far named as possi-
BILE candidates for the Presidency in 1872 there is
not one the certainty of whose election is well
assured as that of U. S. Grant.
We have been in no haste to make this
nOuncement, and We shall be in no haste to re-
tract il, We have done with n full kuOwI-
