Gg- What blessed day is Sunday to the
weary man who necessarily catches but
brief glimpses of home during the toiling
week, who is off in the morning while the
little eyes are still closed in slumber, not
back at night till they are again sealed in
sleep What would he know of the very
children for whom he tolls, were it not for
the blessed, breathing respite of Sunday?
What honest worldngman's child will ever
forget this day, when, clean and neat, it is
his privilege to climb papa knee, and hang
about his neck, and tell him the news
which goes to make up his narrow little
world? Narrow, did we say? We recall
the word, for it widens out into the bound
less ocean of eternity. Sunday for the
workingman's children! So would we have
it--a day hallowed by sweet, pure, home
influences, when the little band, quite COM
plete shall rest from labor, and love shall
write it down the blessed day of all the
seven.

eB- When the brethren of Joseph had
cast him into the pit, they beheld COM
pany of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead,
"with their camels bearing spices, and
balm, and myrrh, going down to Egypt"
To-day the caravans of Syria do the same
thing, travel the same road, carry the
same articles of trade, and their sharp
eyed leaders are as ready for bargain,
whether in precious stone OR a slave-boy.
Odd enough it is too, how cheaply across
the desert freight is borne. A camel load is
about 700 pounds avoirdupois, and is taken
from Bagdad to Aleppo, distance of six
hundred miles, for twenty dollars in gold.

G8- A Green Bay (Mich.) clerk, who
had a mind for logic applied it to farmer
with advantage, thus: Farmer" Got any
cow bells?" Clerk" Yes; step this way"
Farmer" Those are too small; haven't
you any larger? % Clerk" No sir; the
large ones are all sold" Rusticus started
off and got as far as the door when the
clerk called him back. Look here, 'stran-
ger; take one of these small bells for your
COW and you won't have half the trouble
in finding her for when you hear her bel
you will know that she can't be far OFF. F"
The logic was irresistible and the farmer
bought the bell.

THE ELECTION IN wEsTCHESTER.
Tho Republicans Victorious.


The election in Westchester county IL not prov
ing altogether triumph for the republicans, has
certainly surprised and discounted the democ-
racy Although the latter gave the State ticket of
their party slight majority, the nominal victory
was more than Offset by the defeat OF their
local ticket. After the most strenuous efforts
on the part OF the democrats to elect their candi-
date lor state Senator, Judge Robertson, republi-
can, mas again been returned to that important
position by nearly 1900 majority. The republicans,
however, have lost the First and Second Assembly
districts, the latter by an exceedingly close vote.
Both OF these districts were represented by repub
llcans In the last Legislature. The Shrevalty, as
predicted In the HERALD of last Sunday, has
been secured by Ziba Carpenter the re-
publican candidate. by o majority OF nearly

competitor. In the towns of Morrisania West
