The Rainbow Road TO heaven
By aEoRsE W. BUNdAY.

The burning sun .ho; down his rays
On fainting flowers f;
The brassv sky wac all abazo;
Birds pined for showers:
The hobolink, with open oeaa
And dropping wing,
perched on the reed, was still and weak,
Aud could not sing
The sheep lay painting in the shade;
The SWINE IN mire:
Tho foliage began to fade
Beneath the fire
The tender plants of buried seeds
In the hard crust
or the baked earth, were like good deeds
Hid III the dust;
When, 70! behind the looming hills,
Like sails at sea,
The,clouds arose, and thunder-thrlhs
Made melody.
Then precious drops came patterlng down
In welcome showers
A smil. was hid behind the frowp,
For Us and ours.
The rose raised up her ruby face;
The lily smiled
The meadow-ark sang songs or grace;
The wondering child
Gayed at he rainbow IN the sky,
Called il the road
Good children travel when they die
Aud 60 10 God.

Underground Irrigation.

Every farmer knows that the alluvial
soils, composed as they usually are, OF
silicious materials, when lying only n
few feet above the surface of the water,
are seldom afflicted by drouth, and as
a rule sandy loans extending to good
depth below the surface, also stand dry
weather better, than when resting upon
impervious clays near the surface.
For this reason probably the alluvian
of the California valleys, boarding on
streams, stands drouths to an extraor-
binary degree. A simple circumstance
has suggested to California farmer
underground irrigation. In summing
up its advantages, the Pacific Rura!
Press says:
every farmer, gardner or nursery
man, Will at once see and comprehend
the reasons why water applied, say one
foot below the surface, will do more
good to growing plants Of all kinds
than if applied on the surface OF the
soil. These reasons may be stated
briefly as follows 1t induces the roots
to work downward to meet IT, thus
giving them a deeper and better hold
on the soil and enabling them to secure
n greater amount of the plaat-sustain-
ing elements. Water thus applied
softcns up and lncsens the whole
ground, and does not, like water APP
piled to the surface, induce a crust to
form on the surface. Much less water
will be needed if applied underground
than if applied on the surface, because
the evaporation will be less. There
can be no danger of sun scaldIng plants
thus irrigated, while this is the great
drawback or danger attending surface
irrigation in the GUNNER.
"For the proof Of what we say, we
viii give the following facts: u Clark,
OF Sacramento, about half a mile east
Of Suffers fort site, has piece OF land
familiarly known III that neighborhood
as harp-pan land. The soil is stiff
adobe, some OF it pretty sticky clay Of
a reddish cast, and not over ten inches
deep. He has been trying to grow an
orchard and garden on tins land for a

The best permanent shade for plant
houses IS linsead oil and sugar of lead,
in the proportion of about n teaspoon
ful of lead to a quart of oil; but the
exact trial must be governed by the
amount Of shade required, which can
easily be proved by trying it upon
pieces of waste glass. First, wash tho
glass thoroughly clean, and then, on u
dry, clear morning, take the oil mix
ture and paint as thinly rs possible
over the glass with an ordinary pant
brush. BY dabbing it gently with n
dry brush, it will impart to it the APP
pearance of ground glass. The shad-
ing will stan! for season, and can be
removed by washing it with strong
peurlash water. ~ J. Mechanic.

Peruvian Antiquities.

A valuable collection of Peruvian an.
tiquities has lately been added to the
chronological section of the Berlin mu-
scum. 1t consists of number OF
mummies, articles of pottery and other
remains. Three of the mummies are
completely clothed, and the fabrics
which form their wrappings will serve
to show the state OF textile art at a re-
mote period among the Peruyians.
One of the mummies, that of a
woman, bears in it's arms the
image of an infant in clay. This
collection also embraces objects usually
found in ancient Peruvian sepulchres,
such as the food bag, the drinking cup,
and the spindle and loom-the last
named objects being found only in
women's tombs. These mementoes OF
extinct American civilization are very
highly priced IN Berlin, as belonging
to department Of ethnology which
previously was almost without a repre-
sentative in the Museum Gak

Catholic, and attethpt to organize In that ca
pscity, you should not be surprised to find op
posed to you all denominations not known as
Catholic, who recognize that which "Bishop
Gilmour speaks of as a grievance" as among
the most benefcient Of all our institutions.
And now to close. You think we have not
followed you closely through your former let
ter You cannot complain that we have not
done so in this. Part of your arguments in
your first were based upon false deductions,
and so were passed over. As We understand
1t, there have been but two propositions be-
fore US growing out of the pastoral. One as to
its political character, the other as to the right
OF the church to resist the civil Law. We
proved from the Pastoral itself its political
character so clearly, that you have admitted it
to be ga politico-refgio question" As such
it was justly subject to criticism, and that part
OF the argument may be regarded IS closed.
We have presented the scripthral argument
opposed to the Church's right to resist, and
demonstrated it to be adverse to the teachings
OF the Head of the Church You have sub
mitted no proof to the contrary, except the
single isolated text 1--WE must obey God rather
than men," If the church possesses the right
to resist the law, submit the proof. "To the
law and to the testimony; if they speak not
according to this word it is because there is no
| light in them"

TIE Democracy of this county
have nominated our contemporary
of the Messenger as their candidate
for Delegate TO the Constitutional
Convention. As between his fitness
for the position, and that of the
candidate whom the Republicans
have presented, no man can hesitate
in opinion; and as the position is
one 70 which the very best talent
should be called, politics should be
forgotten, and only fitness consider
cd. If the people of our county
want man in that convention who
win do them honor, and who win
make his influence felt in that hody.
General Buckland is the man!

THERE was slight prospect, last
week, that there would be rupture
between the railroads and the Gov
ernment, on account of the Postal
Service. The companies demanded
an exorbitant increase of rates for
running the postal cars, which the
Postmaster General refused to al
low, and if the railroads had persist
ed in their demands, the postal cars
would have been withdrawn, and an
entire change in the mail service
would have occurred. The matter,
however, has been adjusted, and no
change will at present occur.

Consideration.

C4tlzeRs OF Sandusky County, on
Monday next yon are called upon to
choose a Delegateto represent you
in Convention TO be held in Col
umbus, in May next, to which will
be intrusted the solemn and impor-
tsnt duty ofremoddIing or remaking
for you a State Constitution. Do
you understand the Importance of
the duty which devolves upon you.
You want a good constitution-one
which will lsecure to you and to your
children equal rights with ali other,
and secure no special favors to any.
You want a constitution which,
while it secures to you these, viii
also promote the best interests of
the State, wlthout detriment to any
portion thereof-Which will secure
an equitable basis of taxation,
where all property will be made to
bear its equal proportion of the ex-
penses Of government, and where
just laws Will punish crime and pro-
mote not only the physical, but the
moral and intellectual interests of
society. To do this you want men
there who are not only acquainted
with the wants Of society, but are
also Versed in the science of govern
ment. Nor is this all. You want
men there whose lives and charac-
ters and associations point them out
as men who can be trusted to
achieve such results. You know
every word Ofthis is true; and that
there is moral obligation resting
upon you, aside from your political
prejudices, to exert the power vest
ed in you to secure these ends.
Your duty is not merely to yourself,
it is to community at large, as well,
and you can only discharge that du-
ty righteously by endeayoring to
elect one whom you know can be
trusted to perform the duties requir-
ed for the greatest good of all.
The Republican party have pre-
seated you just such a man. An old
time resident Of the county, who has
been identified with it almost from
its earliest history; who has filed
Offices Of honor and trust with integ-
rity and to the entire satisfaction of
its people; upon whose escutcheon
rests no blemish; who understands
the peoples wants; who is verscd
in the science Of government, and
whose moral character is unim-
peachable. One, in fact, whose
name carries with it conviction of
uprightness and trust. Remember.
then, the duty devolving upon you
as citizens, and discharge that duty
as you would discharge any other in
which your duty to yourself and the
people generally were identical. I'll
you had job you wished well done,
you would select a good workman.
lfyou had an important trust to de-
eide, you would seek the best coun-
sel. You have both on hand now.
and you must select one torepresent

The nomination of Ex-Governor
Hayes, to be Assistant Treasurer, at
Cincinnati, is one of those fortunate
selections which the President usu.
ally makes, when he acts independ-
emily of politicians. No appoint
ment that he could have made
would have given greater evidence
Of his good judgment. The nomi-
nation was passed over, it seems, in
the Senate, because politicians had
given out that no appointment
would be made at once, and they did
not wish to seem to have broken
faith with aspirants, but his nom
ination viii be confirmed when the
Senate reassembles.
