FETE HYGLEYs WATCH.-Our readers Of
course remember Mr.. Peter Hygleys watch in
the Color Guard. A pleasant incident happen
ed in connection with that same watch while
Mr. Collins was taking the part of the Dutch
man, sometime since in New York. The piece
had been played for two weeks, and one eve
ming as Peter was winding up his watch, gen.
tleman suddenly appeared on the stage with
this forcible remark "Look here Pete Hygley
you've fooled people long enough with that old
tin thing making believe it was watch"
While Mr.. Collins was celebrating as to wheSh-
er he should kick him off the stage, the strang-
er suddenly drew from his pocket an elegant
gold watch and chain, and presented them to Mr.
Collins as token of the appreciation in which
he was held The gift was valued at $500.

and ehastisement. We do well to accustom
ourselves to Gods hand, lovingly put forth to
subdue our iniquities.
8. A third child-like trait is trustfulness.
God requires of us implicit confidence in His
word. Where full credence is given to Gods
word there is life full of all goodness. Living
faith aud faithful living are nseparable.
1t is surprising how the words faith and trust
and their synonyms abound in the Bible. The
fact declares how essential is this trait. Why
are we so slow to honor God with childlike con-
idence?
4: Docility is another child-like trait. Col
eridge says 'DocilIty is the sign of Debility"
That is, readiness to be taught, indicates ca
paclty for instruction. Without teachable-
ness we hear and do not understand. We see
and do not perceive. The word we translate
disciple" signifies learner. Disciple itself,
which we derive from the Latin does not yio-
late the spirit of the Bible, in that its prime
meaning is "a little learner. And thus
points to humble child-like docility.
3. fifth trait 49, Guileess ness. The little
child has no skill to utter lies. His very soul
beams forth in his countenance. Men attem pit
to hide their inner life from others, and worse
than that, they successfully conceal it from
themselves. They entertain dodgers that con
science must not see." To prove the texture
of woven fabric we hold 1T toward the light
If we would not be judged and condemned of
God, we must judge and try ourselves by God 5
radent word which makes manifest the
thoughts and intents OF the heart
6. Freedom from servility is another child
like trait The little child is not cringing and
mean.
The Lord abhors the eovetous man, and he
has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ
and of Gvd.
So then, to enter the kingdom Of heaven, we
must be children in lowliness, in simplicity, in
nobility. in unworldliness. True character is
artless, but il is not weak. We are command
ed TO be men in understanding. To attain and
to keep the sweetness and innocence of chill
dren demands resolution, self-control, self
denial and the martyrs courage. Boisterous-
ness Is not energy. Gentleness and strength
are blended in the holy man.
"a man is never SO much man as when he
becomes most in heart a child" Moses, Have
lock, Keble. were child-like; but wise, strong,
and heroic men.
Children are not self-sufficient, with them
dependence is natural
6, Men renounce self only with struggling and
y! "a suhened will" But without self-renuncia-
s son, WITHOUT conversion that brings BACK
soinetnlng of the child-like spirit, we cannot
ehter INTO the kingdom of heaven,

Those "GOOd Times"

Where, o, where are the "Good
Times" which were promised the
people if they would vote for GRANT
last November and the Republican
State ticket last October?
The discharge of thousands OF
hands engaged on public, corporate,
and private industrial undertake
ings, during the past two weeks, is
an illustration of the very "Hard
Tines which were predicted by
the Democrats and Liberal Repub-
licans, should GRANT be reelected.
Those who voted for GRANT can
now see the mistake they made.
Only ten thousand men and wo-
men have been thrown out Of en-
ployment in Cincinnati during the

Auditors office. Why then does he
persist IN repeating and giving pub
LEFTY to that which he knows to be
false? He wants his readers to be.
lieve these statements. He wants
them to vote against RELFoRD on
Tuesday next. He wants BEDFORD
defeated and KICK elected Auditor.
Not because he thinks KECK more
honest d capable than BELToRD,but
KEcK, being a Republican, would
give to RAPER q small amount of
county printing that BEDFORD does
not give him.
That is the reason for all that
RAPER has said in regard to the In
Urinary; and Of all the attacks he
has made upon BEDFORD, and for
all the falsehoods he has uttered in
regard to each. Voters of Vinton
county! what think you of a man,
who, for the consideration of a few
dollars-a very few-would attempt
to cheat the county out of an hon
est and competent man for the Of
ficeof County Auditor by such base
means? A few dollars per annum
of net profit to him is such q con-
trolling motive as to lead him to dis
regard all moral principle and to
utter base and slanderous false
hoods. What would it not impel
him to do, were it q few hundred
dollars that he thought might be
obtained either by direct or indi-
rect means? He who would SLAM
der another in order to make . dol
lar, would get it by any other
means, however unlawful and sim
full it might be, was he not restrain
ed from doing so by fear. We are
glad that such u restraining prin-
ciple exists. We are glad to be
able to feel that RApER is better
than a thief; and that if his being
such is not dependent upon high
moral principles, he does, at least,
owe it to cowardice.

Mr., RApER, of the Vinton Rec

that is this: Some time ago, a let,

no coal Of any value or thickness on
the line az the Gallipolis, Macarthur
and Columbus Railroad. In a few
days after appeared u letter signed
"MARoUs BRUTUs," confuting all of
"PERRY's' statements. MI. langley
and myself, who were returning
from Urbana at this time, met Mr..
RAPER on the cars, when the con
versation turned upon the authors
of those letters. Mr.. RAPER at once
told Mr.. LANGLEY that he, MI. RA-

LANGLEY turned sharp upon him and
told him then there must be two
"MARCUs BRUTUs'," at the same
time showing him a copy of the
letter sent by myself as "MARCUs
BRUTUs." Mr.. RAPER then said in
a sublime tone: eyes, there must
be two;" and turned as pale as
death. Mr.. LANGLEY told him some
thing not very complimentary

BY ONE OF THE POOR PEOPLE.
CHAPTER /.

l. Now, it came to pass in those
days, when MILTON, whose surname
was BAY, had been chosen by the
people of Vinton county to 90 to
the greatest city in the land, even
Columbus, to make laws for them.
2. Many of the wise men gather
ed themselves together at the great
Capitol of the province of Ohio,
even at Columbus.
3. For the people of this great
province hath said unto them: Go
up hither and manage our affairs
that it may be well for us and
those that come after us.
4. And they went up to the capt
toll of this province, and took conn
Gil together, even in the Legislative
halls.
3. And the land was fruitful and
their store houses were well filed.
6. And the wise men at Column
bus drank much wine and cheap
whisky and became. drunken.
Z. And they spent the peoples
money in riotous living and failed
to make wise laws.
s. There were then such exam
pies Of corruption as had not been
seen in this great province.
9. For the wise men stole great
sums of money and received brides
in order to raise money to secure
their reelection.
10. And it was noised about that
MILToN's term would soon expire,
the scribe of the high priest, JOHN,
whose surname was RApER, sent
out q proclamation into all the land
Of Vinton, inviting all the faithful
and elders of the people to come up
to the city Of Macarthur, and select
one from amongst their number to
make laws for them.
II. And they came unto that
place as they had been hidden.
II. And after they had come to-
gether, they all with one accord
cried out, let us have MILTON to
make laws for us.
ID. Now this MILTON. dwelt on
the waters Of Raccoon, and was q
man Of great repute, as a dealer in
stock.
IA. Moreover he hath served
them two years, and hath received
bribes enough from lobys to secure
his reelection.
10. And MILTON greatly desired
to be chosen, so he commenced
with the scribe of the high priest
JOHN, the editor Of the Vinton Rec.
ord.
lG. And RAPER loved MILTON
and his soul cleavc unto him.
II. And MILTON said unto RA.
PER, swear unto me that thou will
be true unto me, and RAPER sworc
unto him.
10. And MILTON gave RApEI
much money, and some wine, and
cheap whisky, and he departed even
unto his own house.
10. And RAPER wrote in the
record, advising people 10 choose
MILTON.
90. And this thing greatly pleas
ed the faithful, and they cried out
great and mighty sheep Broker
whose surname Is BAY.
81. Now this MILTON is q man OF
stature, and dwells in u large brick
house, and trades horses, cattle.
and lambs,
20. And MILToE went out unto all
the land Of Vinton, and made
pledges and paid money to get
votes to secure his reelection.

COMMUNICATED.
FalSehOOd Corrected.

In the last weeks Record, JOHN
has got my name connected with a
statement as false as hell itself.
On the Both day of September,
1873, 1 met with JOHN Il, RAPER on
the road east Of Allensville-it be-
ing the first time that draper" ever
spoke to me, when he inquired the
way to the residence of the under
signed. He was informed that
PHILLIPS was not at home, that |
was the man PHILLIPS. "JoHN"
then began to ask questions in re-
gard to the character of HARRISON
LYLE. The statement made by
RAPER, last week, is as false and
base as the dirty scoundrel from
which it emenated-the, c not being
one sentence Of truth IN It,
| told him most emphatically
that l never saw LYLE drunk,
neither did l ever hear any one else
say so. But to the contrary, since
these base charges have been made
against LYLE in the Vinton Record,
the neighbors of LYLE most posi-
lively say that they never at any
time saw him intoxicated in an in
innate acquaintance of more than
20 years, and my informants, as to
the sobriety Of Mr.. LYLE, are not
confined to Democrats, but Repub-
licans. ~,
l desire to say that JOHN I. RA-
PER is an Infamous liar, and q
mean, low, dirty scoundrel, not en-
titled to the confidence of any one.
Democrats of Vinton county,
vote for LYLE for Representative, in
him you a repose confidence; he
is honest, Industrious, competent,
and will represent Vinton county
with honor to himself and constit-
uents.
