The Church's Mission.
BY W. r. EVANS.

There is an idea too prevalent in these
days. that the church is merely an insti-
tuition to save men from hell-a kind OF
an ark in which one can sail with ease to
the land of bliss.
This is all true in a.,certain sense, but
doubt much, whether the man who joins
church with no other motive than that
of gaining heaven after death, will ever
enter into that blessed place.
Heaven with all its emoluments is the
reward which the Great King confers
upon his adopted people after severe
conflict and earnest labor.
The church has grand and important
work to perform. 1t is to exhibit Christ
in his person and character to the world
"Ye are the salt of the earth" The
light of the world, a city set upon a hill
that cannot be hid" Every follower of
Jesus is to be his witness" Ye shall be
witness for me in Jerusalem, and also in
the ends of the earth" This was word
of anticipation for all believers, a commits
sion to all followers, a legacy to all loyal
servants of Jesus Christ. The commission
to ego and preach the gospel to every
creature" was not given to the Apostles
as such, nor to the disciples as followers
of Christ. 1t was given to them all.

The Waverly Republican has an editori-
al on the subject of Probate Courts, and
sends it marked. Now our opinion is
that each county should have one Court,
similar to our Common Pleas. but with
Probate jurisdiction. 1t should have a
competent clerk, and should always be
open for probate and testamentary mat
tiers, and the issuing of marriage licenses.
A first class; honest, sober lawyer should
be the Judge. AS the Republican says.
when the wife dies the husband goes
right along with the estate, and no costs
are made. So when the husband dies
the wife should not, in her widowhood
and sorrow, be compelled to pay out
large sums to lawyers and Probate
Judges to settle up the estate. Husband
and wife, in their worldly possessions,
should be equal partners, the survivor
going right along with the business.

Faney's Picture.


The dim, shadowy forms of bygone days
Are so slowly and silently creeping,
Closely around me, in the misty rays,
OF dusky twilight and darkness meeting.
While the shades of night are lengthening fast,
The pale round moon climbs to her cloudy
hight,
And the sweet-scented air with breath of flowers,
Fans my throbbing brow in the silveFy light.
And there for me Fancy paints picture
OF the quaint old Homestead, low crumbling
walls,
With its bowers of grape and garden hooks,
Deep rocky caves where sunshine never falls.
Where weird silvery CLEANS of rifted light
Make crown of gold for each mountain
hight,
That glowing bursts forth in transient gleam,
Ger that low cottage roof in ripple bright.
Twas not trailing silks. neither velvet pile
For the power of wealth as brief as fair,
Nor music's flying festal hours,
Nor the fash OF jewels and curling hair
That through memory's shadows came to
Like early spring-times hidden flowers
twining
Happier dreams of the echoless past,
Round my lone heart with a silver lining.
FOR saw Inere IN InaJ painted picture
Where gentle mother with love and care,
Soothed many a weak childish sorrow
With a joy and a sweetness ever rare.
Twas fair sweet face, and with gentle hand,
Grasped faith and hope for her crown and
shield,
Striving my ever erring steps to guide
Safely across life's weedy stubbled field;
Twas the voice of love and the beacon light,
Shining afar off in the starry skies,
That lent to my aching and fainting heart,
The blessed vision that my childish eyes
Saw in my happier innocent days,
As with laughing voice gayly sang
The free wild sons of my mountain home,
That through the forest depths and green
woods rang.
And the old-fashioned songs lov'd so well,
Iheard again where the wild flowers bloom,
And slowly keeping time with the measure
Was the the low clicking noises of the loom
That came to me as 1 stood all alone,
On the messy bank where the lilies bend,
As if listening to that good old song,
That with the warbling birds sweet music
blend.
And they chant and sing in the forest shades,
When the shining waters peacefully flow,
Awakening the sprites that fain would sleep,
Meath the coral caves where the suns bright
glow
Would scorn to disturb in their rocky bed,
The secrets well hidden by wind and wave.
But the merry songsters their tale would tell,
With Tapping of wings both bold and
brave.
And knelt down close by the bubbling spring,
Filling high my cup with the dewy draught.
1 drank again of that sparkling water,
And sweeter, purer, was never quaffed.
And the path that led from the cottage door,
Once tenderIy pressed by little feet,
With the rose that climbed the lattice-work,
Fancy paints for me in the picture neat

Joe Eylar, of the West Union Defender,
is bad Democrat, but he generally has
pretty clear perception of common hon
esty. Speaking of the attempt to get up
war for the purpose of stealing Cuba, he
says:
at has always been a difficult matter
for us to conceive how Christian people
could for moment tolerate war which
ended with the. annexation of coveted
territory by the victorious party-that is
if there is any honor involved in the con-
troversy. Nations occupy much the same
relation to each other that individuals
do; and the man who would whip anoth-
er man, and take his watch or pocket
book for the trouble, would not stand
very high in any community; and he
should not. Why should nations escape
condemnation for acting precisely SINH

LET us HAVE PEACE"

The noble man who uttered the above
words, is entitled to the lasting gratitude
of every honest, Christian man and
woman. not only in this country, but all
over the world. Gen. Grant has his fall
ings, and we have never attempted to
apologize for them; but his noble work
in the cause of Christian civilization
should hide multitude of sins.
When the great soldier said let us
have peace" he meant all he said. Un-
der his administration he maintained
peace with the powerful nation of Great
Britain. So far as in him lay, he main
tanned peace with the savages eff the
Western border, and now we are to have
no war with spain. All honor to the
great soldier President.

"Requiescat." F"

The last number of the Hiilsboro Mail
made its appearance Oct. %. Its sands
of life had been running feebly for some
time previous, and its demise was not un-
expected by those who knew its failing
condition. 1t is well known that the
Nail was brought here for the purpose of
running out" this paper, but as usual
with such attempts, the only result has
been to run itself out, and involve its
publisher and his hackers in pecuniary
loss and embarrassment. We might be
justified in saying more, but it is not our
nature to exult over fallen foe.
We suggest as appropriate to the oc-
casion the epitaph written for tender
infant untimely bereft of life:
"since 50 soon I'm dead and done for,
1 wonder what was begun for
Highland Ne1rs.
II was commenced because the fools
were not all dead. The men who urged
the proprietor of the Nal to go to Hills
borough, we are charitable enough to be-
lieve, while they thought to punish the
publisher of the Ne1cs for something for
which. possibly, he was not at fault, but
they themselves were, did not intend to
invite Mr.. Butler to ruin, nor did they
intend to defeat the Republican party
of Highland county, and turn it over
to the Democracy; yet they most effect
ually did both these things. And it was
not difficult for an impartial looker-on
to have foretold the result. We were
really sorry to see the Nail removed, for
we believed the publisher was to be sac
rifced for the benefit of the envious, dis
contented spirits-only few in number
who thought they could run the Neuos
better than Bro. Boardman could. Two
papers of the same politics in one county
like Highland, Ross, Scioto, and Law
renee, are hurtful to the party which
tries to support them. 1t is very hard
matter to run out an old and well estab-
lished paper. 1t has been many times
tried, the number of successful tits have
been very few indeed Warerly RepubH-
can.
We are sorry for Mr.. Buffers failure,
as he was good editor, and very pleas.
ant gentleman. But an old paper, well
established, cannot be run out The
good will of newspaper constitutes the
principal part of its value. Senator Put
mum sold the Chillicothe Advertiser for
$4,000 We suppose the material in the
Office could be bought new for one third
of that sum. 1t was the good will which
in the main made it cheap at $4,000.

F. NJ. Brandes and Emma r. Turner
were agents for the Howe Sewing Ma
chine Co. in Columbus, and about ten
days ago. when in the country attending
to their business, they attempted to cross
a creek near Shadeville, and were drown
ed. The stream washed the wagon and
horse down some distance, when the
wagon caught on sand bar. The unfor-
tunate man and woman clung to the
wagon for some time, and parties on
shore attempted to aid them, but the
stream being wide and rapid, they were
unsuccessful.

A great many Democratic papers are
eager for war. One reason is, the Con-
federate Generals want to get into SER
vice where they can get some pay.
Some of the Democratic papers-all
h onor to them, take an honest course in
this matter For instance, the New Lex
ington Herald says:
Every person found interfering with
other peoples affairs should suffer the
penalty of his infraction If he persist
emily prowl about for the purpose of aid
ing and abetting some person possessed
of more courage than himself, for the
purpose of taking the life Of some one,
we feel inclined to the opinion that that
person who is so sought to be made the
victim of a deVilish and. blood thirsty
nature, would be justified in removing,
in a summary way, such being from the
stage of worldly action.
If citizen be permitted to do this,
then why not collection of citizens-a
nation of citizens if you please.
From what we can gather of the "Vir-
ginius" matter, we are led to the conclu-
sion that those who controlled and man
ned that vessel were nothing more nor
throats, thieves and aiders and abettors
of men who were seeking the lives of
their fellow men, and therefore we con-
clude, have suffered the just penalties of
their crimes. Does any person suppose
for a moment, that such set of scoun-
drels would be permitted to live in some
of our Western States.
We think their captors would permit
them to live just the length of time that
it would take to find tree and no longer.
Would the government raise any breeze
about such en- occurrence? We think
not. Then why all this clamor and all
these blood and thunder stories
And the Chillicethe Advertiser, one oi
the best Democratic papers in the State
says:
THE CUBAN QUEsTIoN.-There has been
considerable excitement during the past
week over the announcement of the cap
ture of the Virginius and the wholesale
butchery of those on board of her. Nc
one ceases to deprecate the shooting OF
those men, but when it comes to a ma
tional question, when the fact stares US
in the face that this vessel was fitted out
and filled to overfowing with arms and
ammunition to be landed on the Island oil
Cuba for the purpose of arming insur-
gents, then the grave question arises
has the Government of the United States
sufficient reason for declaring war? We
cannot think it has. These men were
undoubtedly in the employ of the in
surgents, and the vessel had no right to
be sailing under our flag. They were on
an expedition that was far from peaceful
and with their lives the men upon he1
have paid the penalty of their rashness
to say nothing else. We can not believe
our Governmentw will be precipitated into
of every man to help sustain the honor
of our flag.
