Ashes to Ashes, and Dust Unto Dust"
BY MRS. j. E. HoLBRooK.

BY MRS. j. Z. HOLBRooK.
We all have stood near grave newly made,
Have seen dear form within it's depths laid,
While faith lay dormant, and would not arise
To cheer our hearts or wipe tears from our
eyes.
In vain have we wished that the dear one gone
Might gladden. our hearts by joining our song.
We've said, as we sighed for the sweet voice
hushed,
Ashes to ashes, and dust unto dust.
We all have had hopes we all have had aims,
Now, not remnant of which there remains !;
We've stood DER the grave of Ambitions past,
Seen aspirations too worldly to last;
All they have been lying low, years, long
years,
| All their bright gliding tarnished appears.
| Sadly, we've said er this memory crushed
Ashes to ashes, and dust unto dust.
! We all have trials, all have had pain,
To some it came back dreary refrain
We have all, at times, been shrouded in grief,
When naught on this earth afforded relief;
We have al made idols have found them clay,
For, as we held them, they crumbled away
| Then have we said, with hearts withered and
crushed,
Ashes to ashes, and dust unto dust
But, at the last there cometh a rest
For all who are weary, troubled, oppressed,
| And whoever is faithful may enter therein,
Freed from life of temptation and sin.
In yonder pure realm mansions there are,
Our pilgrimage, earthly forever, ends there
There only Wen lind O, firm is our trust,
All is not ashes, nor dust unto dust

Take Ny Hand.
BY ELLA WHEELER.

Strengthen me for every contest,
Let my PRAYERS be not in vain,
l would bless Thee. in nv sorrow;
would glory in my pam:
Make my spirit white-for heaven
Let ny soul be purified
In the blood that flowed so freely,
From the wound in Jesus side.
Grid my soul, oh God for battle,
am weak, o make me strong
Do not let my courage falter.
Though the strife be fierce and long;
And upon thy hand, my Father,
Let me keep ciinging hold,
Till nv feet have anded safely
In the city built of gold.

of the occurance. The girl is living
with q family at Boraxville, at the
expense of the county. and-though
at one time her life was despaired of,
is now reported as doing we'll. What
object the Churchill county authori
ties could have in allowing the old
reprobate beggar to escape the con-
sequences of his crime. is beyond
our comprehension. II the facts we're
as stated at the time, the old wretch
was clearly guilty of the crime of in.
fanticide, if not worse one-that of
incest-aud the authorities clearly
owed it to their sworn duty to bring
the matter to light by ligid legal
investigation. If he were discharged

false economy that would release a
brute guilty of heinous crime for
the sake of saving the costs of prose.

Once Beau went over 20 New York,

on Monday morning, and, as was Gus
tonlary, on Saturday received his bill.
Watching until no one was in the office
but Il rather innocent looking clerk,
Beau went up with the bill in his hand,
and, IN towering rage, demanded to

to insult its guests by presuming they

sented The clerk with ffty-cent cigar.
Before the next week was out, on Friday,
Hickman asked Gen. William Bailey, of
Louisiana, whom he knew very we'll
and who was stopping at the house, to
loan him 5000 for one hour. The Gen
eral did SO, and Bean, getting a $500 |
note walked into the office of the St. |
Nicholas and offered to pay his bill. OF |
course the clerk could not readily change |
SO large note, and Hickman, remarking
be was going to stay, and the bill could |
be paid any time, passed up stairs, and
handing Bailey the note, thanked him
cordially for the loan of the money. No
bill was sent him next Saturday, nor the
next. He was now in the fourth week
of his board at the ST. Nicholas, and as
his arrears were becoming large, the
clerk felt it his duty to call the atten-
ton of the proprietor to the matter.
He spoke of Beau as the Hon. Mr..
Hickman but the proprietor, on ex-
amining the register, recognized the
name of r. L. Hickman" as one of the

scientific writer says: "In very dry air
the insensible perspiration will be in
creased, and as it is true evaporation
it will generate cold proportionate to
it's amount Those parts of the body
which are most insulated in the DIR, and
furthest from the heart, will feel this
refrigerating influence most powerfully -;
hence that GOODNESS of the hands and
feet so often experienced. The brain,
being screened by the skull from this
evaporating influence, will remain rela-
lively hot, and will get surcharged be-
sides with the fluids which are expelled
from the extremities by the contraction
Of the blood-vessels caused by cold."-

How Much WILL KEEP A HoRsE.-
\ horse weighing from ten to twelve
hundred pounds will eat about six tons
of hay, or its equivalent, in a YEAR
And we suppose the real point to get at
is, whether one can keep his horses
cheaper on some other product than
hay. This is an exceedingly difficult
question to answer-it depends so much
on circumstances. We shall not attempt
to answer it fully at this time but will
merely say that, in our opinion, three
and half tons Of corn stalks and two
and half tons of corn would keep a
horse year in fully as good condition
as six tons of hay.
We may estimate, also, that it will
take three and half tons of oat straw,
and two and half tons of oats to keep
a horse year A bushel of oats weighs
thirty-two pounds, so that it will take
over l55 bushels and three and half
tons of straw to keep horse year
1t would take about two acres of good
land to produce this amount.

Ventilate the Living Rooms.

Whew! How can body breathe in
such room as this? Every window is
dripping with dew. The walls are COW

The air of the room is all saturated

escapes from the pots and kettles on

or what-not, are floating about, and
