Hope stole On its pinions of snow
to the bed of disease; and the suffer
rers frown became a smile-the en-
blem of peace and endurance. 1t went
to the house of mourning-and from
the lips of sorrow there came sweet
and cheerful songs. 1t laid its head
on the arm of the poor, which was
stretched forth at the command of
unholy impulse, and saved him from
disgrace and ruin. No hope, my good
brother? Have it. Reckon it on
your side. Wrestle with it that it
may not depart; it may repay your
pains. Life is hard enough at best /;
but hope shall lead you over its noun
tains and sustain thee amid its pillows.
Part. with all beside, but keep thy
hope.

The best cure for hard-times is for
money to invest it at home. Never
send it to the great cities with the
hope of obtaining large interest and
speedy returns. Those cities are filled
with sharpers who live by their wits,
II rather by proving upon the honest
people of the country, and have always
on hand glittering schemes to tempt
the unwary, and fitch from them their
hard-earned money. These genteel
swindlers are ever ready to sell shares
in coal companies, in oil companies,
in gold and silver mining companies,
and stock in speculative concerns
which have no existence save in their
own imaginations. Never invest a
penny in railroads in places you know
nothing about. Unless you want to
be deceived, swindled and robbed be-
ware of glib-tongued sharpers and
their schemes. Instead of investing
your capital in distant places, keep it
in your own neighborhood, under
your own eye. Build houses, invest
in manufactures, improve your farms,
and keep your money in circulation
by giving employment to mechanics
and laboring men. BY doing so, not
only will yourself and your fellow
citizens be benefited, but you will
syoid the danger of being robbed by
those who will only laugh at you and
treat your reproaches with ridicule.

The ST.. I.onis Times pixes q rif

The st. Louis Times gives a rich
account of two Evangelical followers
of the sainted John Wesley who got
into an alteration. One saint accus-
ed the other of making false entries
on his ledger; the other saint became
indignant and had the saint of the first
part arrested on the charge of being
drunk. His honor fined the inebriate
$14 including costs. He still insists
most emphatically that he has been
cheated by the orthodox accuser.

COVERT, March 18th, 1872.
Mr.. E~DIroR:-On the ninth day of January last,
a copy of Woods Household Magazine strayed in
to the Bovert Post-ofice, and our Postmaster,
Mr.. d, Il. Allen, who is also Superintendent of
our Sabbath School, in glancing over the contents
noticed the offer to any Club, Lodge. or Sabbath
School, of a Smiths American Organ. for the
price of the instrument in subscriptions to the
Magazine. Here thought our Superintendent, is
good reading, why may we not have both? The
price OF the Magazine is one dollar per year, and
for one hundred and twenty-five subscribers we
can have a No. L Organ, price sl2o,00. With char
ac~teristic promptness he presented the matter to
the school next day, and, though the scheme ap-
peared visionary to the most of us, the ball was set
in IN otIon, and il was not suffered to rest until one
hundred and hfty-three names were obtained,
which, with the addition oftwelve dollars in cash,
entitled us to a Smiths American Organ, style
No. 3. price one hundred and sixty-fve dollars
The list with the cash, was sent to the publishers
the Organ twas promptly forwarded, and last Sab
bath its powerful tones filled our place Of worship
for the first time. We can cheerfully testify to
the reliability of the publishers of Woods House
hold Magazine. They give US our moneys worth of
valuable reading, and in addition, a frst-class
Cabinet Organ; and we will further say to all Clubs
or Societies, that are in want of an Instrument,
first find a leader who has GO In him, then GO
and do lkewise.-O. o. S.-IFrom The Sentinel,
South Haven, Michigan, for March 80 IL.

Encouraging.

We are constantly adding new SUBJ
scribers to our subscription list, which
is very pleasant and cheering to us,
and a sure indication that the DEMO
era is being appreciated by the peo-
pie of this county. We deprecate
blowing or self-praise at all times,
but we cannot help it when facts stare
US in the face. When we receive
forcible demonstrations, in the shape
of names accompanied with the stamps,
and a request to have the DEMOCRAT
sent, we cannot but believe that our
endeayor to print q good, readable
paper, is being appreciated by all sects
and parties in Preble county. OF
ELEVEN new names last week for the
DEMOCRAT, SEVEN were Republicans

indorse our position in regard to the

will not be fools on religion, politics,
Oh temperance, nor beasts from intem-

An old gentleman from the rural
district was in the city yesterday,
wearing a large white hat, pretty well
on the back of his head. A preco-
cious youth stopped him to ask if that
was a Greeley hat. "Greeley, h-ll,
no." said the stranger, FEit's all the hat
I've got, and I'm going nov to have it

That old gentleman was a promi-

A Bangor, Maine, prohibitionist was

strongly urged its strict enforcement.
To emphasize his remarks he gesticu-
