Newspaper Patrons.

The Athens Post says this: "One
thing we have noticed from the time
we entered upon our apprenticeship,
forty-eight years ago the 10th day
of this month, that Providence gen
orally smiles benigantly and pros
perously upon the man who keeps
himself square on the printers
books. You take the subscription
list of any country paper where the
advance system is not religiously
adhered to, call out the names of
those who pay promptly, then visit
their habitations, and in nine cases
out of ten you will find them in the
enjoyment of all the ordinary COM
forts of life-pleasant and conten-
ted households-the husband kind
and industrious, the wife happy and
affectionate, children sprightly and
well behaved at home and abroad,
sleek cattle grazing in the green pas
lures and good stock feeding in the
stalls, thrifty fruit and shade trees
around, flowers blooming in the
garden and about the yard, and an
air of neatness, comfort and sub
Stance without and within. Now
take that other class of patrons
those that have to be "ding-donged,
out of it" at the end of the third
year; what is still worse, the news
paper sponge, who is not able to
pay for paper, but ever ready to
borrow from his neighbor-ten to
one you will find mojority of these
always afflicted with "short crops"
always "hard one," always "out of
kelter," axes, ploughs and hoes
eternaIly dull, horses that look like
the genius of famine, cattle nearly
related to Pharaoh's lean kline, and
too poor to low without leaning up
against the rickety fence, gates off
the hinges, doors half hung, win
dows gulltless of glass, not fruit
or shade tree in sight, rank James
town weeds blooming around the
door sills, and, instead of luxuriant
meadows and perennial pastur es,
sassafras and briar bushes growing
in the fence-rows and broken places,
and hill-sides furrowed with gullies,
and punches of tall ,sedge waving
mournfully in the wind all over the
farm, and worse than all, morose
and unhappy husband, disconten
ted and ill-natured wife and disobe-
dient, intractable children
The reader may think this is a
fancy sketch; but it amt by good
deal. "There is more truth than
poetry in it."

One thing that aided in the over
whelming pronouncement Of Ohio
against Greeley,was the lithograph-
phed circular issued by the Greeley
managers on the eve of the election
and signed by these promineno
light of Democracy, Thurman,
Pendleton, Ewing, and McCook.
1t was deliberate attempt to cheat
those to whom it was addressed in
to the belief that had received q
written letter from the gentleman
allowed named. With such purport
it was a singing insult to every
Democrat who received it, and was
so regarded. 1t also ignored the
existence of Liberal Republicans,
and the appeal was made solely in
the interests of the Democratic par

The Soldiers Funeral---Ad-
dress of Bishop Whipple at
the Grave of Gen. Meade.

The address of Bishop Whipple
at the grave of General Meade was
very impressive. In the course of
his remarks, he said:
81 have not come to bear tributes
of respect to this great soldier who
is dead. The city, the State the ma
tion-all have none this. Until
longest time shall last, among the
names which are inwrought in our
country's history, his name will be
a household word. l stand by the
grave of the one 1 loved, and my
thoughts are of that great One whom
he leaned as he went down into the
dark valley, and Of the land of beau
ty which is afar off.
How poor are the words of praise
of the sleeping dead! Far sweeter
is the voice from Heaven: BLESSED
are the dead who die in the Lord;'
and to know that he whom we loved
so we'll, when his hands were un-
clasped from earthly things, could
say, with the intuition of the bless
ed: " The Lord is my shepherd,
therefore can 1 not want. Though
l walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, l will fea: no evil"
During our late civil war, in the
darkest days, l happened to be in
Washington, and l received a tele-
gram from our brother, asking me
to come to his camp and celebrate
the Easter communion. 1t was
a strange place for Easter flowers,
and Easter songs, and the Easter
story of the Resurrection; but |
don't recall q service more redolent
of the peace of Heaven. Many of
the bronzed men that knelt that day
at the Lords table, like him who is
lying here, are sleeping with the
dead. Others are scattered afar in
this busy world. I knew that day
that we, too, had centurions who
feared God and prayed alway.
"Death came to him hardly with
the sound of football. There were
a few days that his friends waited
upon medical skill, but his thoughts
were in the land whittier he was GO
ing. The tears of penitence and the
look of faith were blent in dying
prayers. He asked his pastor for
the Communion, and he gathered by
the Lords table mama for the last
journey. And so he fell asleep, in
the blessed sleep.
The country needs men-not men
that curse and swear, not men who
cheat and lie, not men who never
pay any act of worship but ut the
dram shop; but men that beliasai in
God, and are ashamed to sin, men
that can show us how to live, and,
if need be, show US how to die. II
we thus live-fearing God, and liv-
ing in holy obedience to His law
it will matter little when death shall
come, for though we shall go to lie
down in the quiet churchyard, they
that have lived and loved here to-
gether will soon be together.
