1t is an indisputable fact that there
are men who have lost an arm or a leg
in their countrys service who are now
obliged to call in requisition all their re-
sources, both physical and mental, in
order to keep the wolf from their doors.
When I look about me and see many
of the wives of my former comrades in
arms, who one day enjoyed all the luxu-
ries and comforts of life, now brought
down to the level of common paupers,
| am 10th to believe my vision real To
the shame of those whose duty it is to
look after the widows orphans, and mu-
tilated heroes of the late war; such is
positive fact.
There is no class of persons in the Uni
ted States so deserving of consideration
as the pensioners of the Government, and
yet there is no class of persons in the
country who are treated so unfairly, and
whose interests are regarded so indiffer-
emily as the men who suffered their limbs
chopped off in order to save the country
Raising monuments to commemorate
the heroic dead is of course proper and
right, but | appeal to Congress and 9TH
ers in the name of our common country
to care for the living FIRST. Was it a
usual thing on the field of battle to care
for the dead and leave the wounded to
lie suffering and uncared for?
Come folks be consistent be just.
be liberal, be brotherly, be charitable, and
give your attention more particularly to
the living monuments.
And not to increase the pensions on
account Of increasing the expense of the
Government is preposterous. Suppose
(and it is merely suppositionl the m
necessary Incidental expenses of the Sen
ate and House were Topped off, and the
much abused franking privilege was
abolished, these alone would nearly. if
not quite. counterbalance an increase of
pensions 20 per cent.-Correspoade'ace

Clark Powers, a boy about II years

last week for knocking down and kick

a visit to VIM. Nunns who lives on the
boys farm. near North Danville, and
got showed in, and the boy ordered her
to take her ..old horse out of the barn,
but she refused to comply with the re-
quest, for fear that the horse would die

A SAD ROMANCE years ago
wealthy young Englishman came to this
country on tour of observation, and at
the hotel where he stopped, when MAX
ing Boston his headquarters, it was
known that he was of an aristocratic FAM
lily He was always in funds. and conse-
quently had plenty of friends, but the
down-stair attractions of the Parker
House-the bar and the billiards got
the better of him, and soon his habits
became very intemperate. More than
once he was kept out Of the station
house by friends. His conduct finally
became such that the young Englishman
had to change his boarding place, and
he went into Howard street, notorious
locality. In the mean time the drafts
ceased to come to him, and poverty star
ed him in the face until he was turned
into the street From post to pillar
he knocked around, and had grown SO
neglected that even his most intimate
friends could not recognize him. All
this time he craved liquor, and became
an inmate of one of the lowest dens in
North street, associating with thieves
and prostitutes of that locality. A few
months ago body was found floating in
dock not far from the scenes of his de-
bauchery. and rested at the dead house
for Identification. An inquest was held
and the usual coroners verdict in such
cases given. A few weeks ago an agent
from England was in town searching for
the young Englishman. 1t appeared
that his parents had died about year
ago, and he was the sole heir to the for
tune, amounting to 9229.0OO. Through
the agency of the police it was satisfac-
torily shown that the young Englishman
had fallen overheard from the effects of
whiskey and that his body had been
buried at the expense of the city.

A NEW SwINDLE-One of the most
extraordinary swindles in these days of
lodges has been brought to light. A
man in Madison Mass sent great num-
bers of circulars to various people
throughout the country, Offering to for
ward to them by mail ''a handsomely
bound book with a rich and peculiarly
interesting picture for frontispiece exc
cuted in the highest of French art, in
several colors.' Every bachelor" the
circular said, should read it-every
married couple, and unmarried ladies,
if they like Every one should keep it
in the trunk or the pocket. Sent by
mail, on the receipt of eighty cents. "
The bait took; great many people sent
the money and what does the reader
suppose they received in return? The
New Testament. with a cromolithograph
of the Virgin and Child +, The state
constable who went to Madison to seize
the obnoxious literature was met by the
man who said he had violated no law
but promised to do so no more.

\ BEAUTIFUL PAssAGE.-Robert Coll
yer is the author of the following beauti-
full passage: 1t was noticed that when
the hapless Marie Antoinette stood before
the judges to receive her sentence of death,
as her hands rested on the wooden bar
before her, her fingers wandered as if
they were touching the keys of an organ.
| think it must have been that, III her ex-
tremity, when heart and flesh failed, she
found refuge in some great melody that
heard by nc soul save her own-poor
lady lifted her up above her enemies,
and helped her to keep that brave look
at which they could not but wonder and
so, through music, God was the strength
of her heart. So may souls still find sue
cor in their dire need, in the trial of and
for their life [ can think of no soul
quite forlorn and helpless that can not
call up and feel the power of a great
psalm in its trouble. God answers as
surely true singing as true prayer; and
| believe that, half the time, if we would
sing when We pray, instead Of praying,
our burden would not lie nearly so heavy
upon us, nor the world be so dark about US.

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked.
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that n new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

but the great trouble with them is,
their education is mainly of this or
der, if they don't become very great
they are extremely likely to become
the very opposite. There is no mid
die ground for them, for they we're
not taught to regard any, and con-
sequently, they are, as a general
thing, unfit for it. Poverty has
helped men to solve some of the
greatest problems of life. Half its
brave deeds have been a necessity,
and the most of its noble sayings
have been born of a determined OPP
position. 1t does a man good to
put him at his wits ends. Emer-
gencies make men. Any man can
be a pilot or a general in calm; but
storms show the mental. Reputa-
tion is made more by boldness and
