An Inquiry.

The Hartford Democrat of last week con-
tanned communication of political nature,
signed "Ivuros," in which the following sim
gular paragraph occurs:
There is another element, and a very i'm
portant one, to be taken into consideration in
This matter, and that is the fact ofthere being
in the county large number of voters who
hold the balance ofpower, and who have been
acting in good faith with the Democratic
party and who will not support candidates
for office unless they are qualified intelectu-
ally and morally, and who will faithfully dis
charge the duties of the offices to which they
aspire Would it not, therefore, be suicidal up
on our part to drive them to the wall by pre-
senting candidates who they could not sup
port, and either suffer the election to 90 by
default or cast their weight in the scale of
the opposition. thereby defeating us at this
time, and consigning the party, for all time,
to the tomb ofthc Capulets?
We would like to inquire what this 'ele.
mcnt" is, and of whom it is composed, who
arc only "acthg in good faith with the Demo-
cratic party"-who are with it, but not oft !?
Does Iyuros mean to assert that in case cand-
dates selected by the element to which he
alludes are not nominated by the Democratic
party on the 30th, those whom he claims
hold the balance of power" and are acting
with the Democratic party, will bolt the
nominations and vote the Radical ticket?
Is the threat of this writer merely the out :
spoken desire ofany faction, whoever they
are, to embrace the first convenient opportu
nifty to abandon the Democratic organization
and go over to the Republicans? We hope
lie speaks for himsefalonc and that there cx-
lists 10 such element" in our party.
1t seems to us but fair that those who enter
into the contest in the Democratic ranks for
the nominations should abide by the result,
even if their views in that regard should not
accord with those of the majority of the
party,

CARE OF THE CHILDREN.

The fact being we'll known that the
mortality among children is much great
er during the summer season than dur
ing any other portion of the year, parents
and guardians ought earnestly to consid-
er how they may preserve the health of
the little ones committed to their care.
The rate of mortality among children
would not be so large as it is were prop
er precautions taken in regard to their
clothing, their food and their habits.
The nrAsaruatian- of a child's health
While 1T requires constant care, is SIM
pie matter after all. 1t might be so
cared for that in most cases the child
itself might learn what to do for itself,
and when and what to eat and to change,
what to do and what to avoid, in order
to escape sickness. Indeed, any child
that can understand s'you must moi"
can assist very much in the work which
is for its own good, at least in regard to
eating the unripe, unhealthy fruits which
come far easily within the reach of those
who know no better than to eat it. By
every means, and careful soatchinq, the
children ought to be prevented from
partaking of the many unhealthy articles
of fruit and confectionery which are Of
fered at street stands and other places
for their temptation. Temperance in all
their eating and drinking should be
made established habits with the little
ones, and the result would be good fol-
the future as well as for the present
Next in importance to caring for the
child's stomach is the caring for its
body. Cleanliness, it is hardly to be
supposed, would need much said in it:
favor. Frequent bathing of the face
and hands is not only productive of good
but it is very necessary in order to keeI
the pores of the skin free from aecumu
lations of the imperceptible dust which
is floating continually in the air. Blu
the matter most neglected in the car
of children is the paying of proper at
tention to their clothing. This shoult
be of character suited as far as posi-
BILE to the sudden changes of the season
While it should be light and cool, it
texture ought to be such as to protec
the body against sudden cooling by light
soft woolen fabric which would absor
the Precipitation. or entire suits of such
ought to be put upon every child. 1t
a mistake to suppose that children car
not catch cold in the summer. The
certainly do; everybody does who
not guarded against it, and summt
complaints have their origin in colds {
frequently as in anything else. Exit
care during this month in these parti
ulars would greatly reduce the mortalit
among childred and save many youn

"Well I'll make up one, if 1 can't
think of a real one. There was once a
very proud girl, who was loved by a
most worthy man, man noble of heart
and purpose. She became engaged to
him, and the time was set for their mar
rage. Well, as said, the girl was
wilful, naughty and obstinate, and she
promised to go out of an evening with a
man whom her lover disliked, and who
was not really worthy of her society.
Her lover demonstrated with her. plead
ed with her, all to no purpose. She
would have her own way. At this her

him that she never loved him. Then
he left her, not in anger. as she desery-
ed, but in sorrow and forgiveness"
"But did the girl really love him,
Miss Pauline ?'' .
"Yes. better than her life, but she
was too proud to confess it. She pre-
tended to scorn love, and in consequence
she has learned the value of it. To-
night she is trying to fill the aching
void in her heart with hope-trying in

The false whiskers were cast aside,
and the radiant face of Herman Aldrich
beamed down upon her. The old pride
flashed up for an instant, and then it
was lost in the torrent of bliss that
swept over her heart. aa
"Oh, Herman, my ownl my own!"
She sank upon his breast and his lips
met hers in one lingering kiss
Two months later Mrs. Herman AL
drich appeared in society at the metrop-
oils, but with softened pride.

CHURcH DIscIPLINE.-lt is too much
neglected? When the church with which
| am connected, undertook, a few years
since, to discipline member for a serl-
GUS fault, this member not satisfied with
the decision of the church wanted
council; his request was granted. Dur
ing the labors of that council one OF
the members, acting as pastor to one OF
the prominent churches in Orleans Coun-
ty. said to the writer. .You need not
fear to go ahead of the other churches
in discipline, we all have members IN
our churches we cannot discipline.
We often hear it said, at is easier
to get one into church than to get one
out. If there was more caution and
care in admitting members and if more
evidence ofthe '.new birth was required
of them, there would be less members
in them that cannot be disciplined and
less needing discipline.

FAREWELL?

Once more, o God, Thy praise to sing,
Our burdened hearts we hither bring,
While tears unbidden swell;
For dark the cloud of sorrow lowers,
A sad, and bitter task is ours
We come to say farewell.
We bless Thee, that in commune sweet,
Tho1'st oft permitted US to meet
Our loved and cherished one;
And now, when called from him to part.
Give strength to each 'erfowing heart
To say-"Thy will be DONE"
Watch O er him, from Thy throne above,
Upon his soul, may heavenly love
And holy peace descend
Oh, guide him, whereso'er he roam,
And guard, and bless his earthly home !;
Be with him to the endl
And when our years have feeted past,
Oh, may we all unite at last,
With Thee on high to dwell );
Where perfect joys unrufied flow.
And those Who purely love below.
1May never kaoac fare,oeH

A JEALOUS HUsBAND's REVENGE

A JEALOUS HUSBANDS REVENGE A
man in Portland married a widow. She
had a fashion, which is too common
among ladies who b ave buried man,
of giving him glowing accounts of the an
gelic virtues of the departed. AS pro-
hibition law is in force down in Maine, he
could not drown his sorrows in liquor,
so he nerved his soul to terrible revenge.
One night when his wife was sleeping
soundly, perhaps dreaming of the ''6rst"
victim of her charms, he arose from his
bed, took sledge-hammer and deliber-
ately raising it to his shoulders, he
marched to the graveyard and smashed
the tombstone of his dead rival into little
bits Now, when his wife says anything
about the virtues of the dead man, he
replies, ut may be all very true. old
gal; but he can't smash my tombstone
! There's where I'm ahead, .

The Rev. DIR. Stone, of San Francisco,
is reported as saying that ''the newspa-
per is more feared to-day in Congress
ional halls and The high places of cor
ruption and villainy, than the laws and
courts, the sting of conscience, and the
Divine wrath" This is only another
form of saying that exposure in iniquity
is what men dread more than the moral
consequences of their crimes. The evil
dences are too patent to be questioned
that net only public men, but multitudes
of others. have no fear of God or of
eternal perdition before their eyes. The
moral sense seems to be sadly wanting
in the public mind. and the dread sane
tions of religion to be less and less pow
erful to restrain men. Our hope for
the reformation Of society, and even for
the preservation of the good that remains,
is in the Gospel and in the Spirit of
God. We need a revival of pure and
undefled religion throughout our land
and throughout the world. "Thy king
dom come" must be the earnest prayer
of all who look or hope for the better
| ment of society

DOES GOD ANSWER PRAYERS
BY HARRIET BEEcHER STOWE.

There are two striking cases-one in
the Old Testament and the other in the
New-of men beloved of God, praying
perseveringly and with the utmost in
tensity and fervor for something which
was denied them. An answer to a pray-
eris not necessarily an affirmative an
swer. 1t may be an answer in the neg.
ative-an answer Of the wiser love that
sees further than we do and refuses in
mercy. Yet there are some people who
talk as thnnnh IF ,,ra..>- .-.---y--
and of course answered in the afirma-
tive, and the thing we ask given, there
were no use in praying. "Who is the
Lord. that we should serve Him, and
what profit shall we have to pray to
Him?" But prayers are often answered
in the Affirmative. The voice of Chris
tian experience, through all time, has
united in calling our God ga very pres
ent help in time of trouble" Very
present, either to remove the trouble or
help us arise above it. The true doc
trine is, that God our Father is reality
Ia living, loving presence-throbbing
with sympathy, but with plans and
purposes, and knowledge of the situation
Intimately transcendins ours, that He
is near TO US, hears our prayer. considers
it tenderly and patiently, and does for
us the very best that is possible consist
emily with the best good of all. That
it is not always possible for God to grant
what we ask is made certain by the
most interesting and most awful prayer
ever left on record-the prayer offered
in extreme anguish by His only and
beloved Son. Itwas to attain the SYM
pathetic insight of a personal experience
that our Lord passed through depths
so deep that no son or daughter of Adam
ever could sink below Him. In the aw-
full passage He felt the same agonized
inability to endure that we feel, and
called out as we do for relief; but with
the controlling sense of a nobler pur.
pose which He preferred even to that
present relief And in this sense every
true prayer is answered. For when we
pray truly we always do in our deepest
heart, in our higher and better nature,
/ so confide in nrr- -HoauosAlu Rather 4ia&
we prefer His will even to the most i'm
portant clamor of our own wild desires,
