A WONDERFUL WORD.

There is . lamp whose steady light
Guides the poor traveller in the night,
It's Gods own Word Its beaming ray
Can turn midnight into day.
There is store-houSe of rich fare
Supplied with plenty and to spare:
IT'S Gods own Word 1t spreads feast
For every hungry, thirsty guest.
There is chart whose tracings show
The onward course when tempests blow i;
It's Gods own Word There. is found
Direction for the homeward bound.
There is tree whose leaves impart
Health to the burdened, contrlte heart !;
lis Gods own Word 1t cures our sin
And makes the guilty conscience clean.
Give me this Lamp to light my road
This store house for my daily food;
Give me this chart for life's rough sea :
These healing leaves, this heavenly tree.

CHILDREN.
HOW THEY ARE TAKEN CARE OF.

1t is simply astonishing how soon
young children pick up slang words,
vile words, profane words, and attach
to them meanings. 1t is equally sur
prising how instinctively they conceal
all this knowledge from their parents.
and while the mother thinks her little
girl a model Of innocence and purity.
her neighbors may know that such is
very far from being the case. Therefore
it is not possible for the mother to cul-
tlvate too great an intimacy with the
child. She should have the juvenile
heart spread out before her as q mirror,
rejecting every thought. every feeling,
every passion Of the child. Thus she
will be able judiciously to administer
antidotes to vice and build up safeguards
to virtue. Girls are as a general rule
brought mp in Ignorance of very much
which it concerns them to know. MANY
a young lady dances on the verge Of
a precipice, not knowing her danger,
and many fall from virtue because their
mothers had not the courage to warn
them Of the pitfalls in their pathway,
and the steps leading thitherward. The
love of purity, like the love of fame,
grows by what it feeds, and dies if it
have not suitable nutriment. The gin
and boy who have steadily held up be.
fore their eyes an ideal of high and pure
womanhood and manhood, who are taught
from early childhood that their bodie:
and their souls are alike sacred to purity
will hardly fail to realize in maturit,
the highest wishes of their parents il
these respects. Heroic virtue is neve
the result ofignorance in man or woman
We who know the shoals along the en-
trance to mature life, should build ligh
houses on sunken reefs, plant buoys il
dangerous places, and build lifebcat
for the rescue of the shipwrecked.

WHAT MEN NEED WIVES FOR,

1t Is not to sweep the house, and make
the bed, and darn the socks. and cook
the meals, chiefly that a man wants a
wife. If this is all he needs. hired helm
can do it cheaper than wife. If this
Is all, when young man calls to see a
lady, send him into the pantry to taste
the bread and cakes she has made: send
him to inspect the needlework and bed
making; or put broom into her hands
and send him to witness its use. Such
things are important, and the wise
young man will quietly look after them.
But what the true man most wants
of true wife is her companionshiu.
sympathy, courage and love. The way
of life has many dreary places in it, and
man needs companion to 90 with him.
A man is sometimes overtaken with
mlstortuneS he meets with failure and
defeat; trials and temptations beset him
and he needs one to stand BY and sym.
pathize. He has some stern battles n
fight with poverty. with enemies and
with sin; and he needs a woman that
while ne puts his arm around her and
feels that he has something to fight for

THE MORAL HERO.

1t is easier to fulfill the greater than
the smallest task 1t is easier to per-
form the moral deed which the world
must witness than to grasp the small
temptation which comes IN our private
hours, inviting to little sin which the
world can never know. He is the moral
hero-how few who can challenge the
title. that can resist the almost HARM
less impulse of selfshness, like that
which prompted the mind of Christ to
turn the stones to bread who can go
through the day and feel that he has
been faithful to every moment, and has
lived in Christian relations with every
man with whom he has met. And there
fore, small duties are the real test of
power. You cannot know mans tenn
per in company see him at home. You
cannot judge his piety at church OBJ
serve him through the business hours Of
single day. You cannot infer his be-
nevolence from his public charities and
large subscriptions watch his inter,
course with the poor. It's the frequent
gifts, it is the manner of giving
more than charity. the sweet expression
the cordial sympathy, the tone of kind
ness which makes the penny of more
value than the eoldly given pound; il
is these. and the frequency of these, thai
determine the purity and love of a per
sons soul.-T. Starr King.

"IHET MELT AND PRAYED."-A dis

LEWIS THOMAS, ESQ.
Mr.. Thomas came TO Hancock county
in October, 1881, when he was Is years
old. He settled with his father on the
river in Marion township. One of the
first things his father did after reaching
tie county was to sell horse to Richard
Dukes for some hogs. Mr.. Thomas
father owned five horses, when he came
to the county, and by selling three of
them he was enabled to get supply of
provisions and other necessary comforts
until he could get in a crop. The winter
of 1S31-32 was extremely cold The
summer after Mr.. Thomas came to the
county there was great deal of sickness
i'll the neighborhood; several members
of his family were sick, and one of them
died. Another man named Hamilton,
who lived where Mr.. Swab now lives,
died. Barnabas Dewitt, who resided
where Geo. Burns now lives, died, and |
left a wife and two children. Squire |
Ward, whose home was where Wm.
Ramsey lives, and William Ward, who |
lived on the Geo. Wiseley farm, also |
died, making five men in all, three of !
them leaving families. There We're
other persons in the neighborhood sick.
But notwithstanding all this, the settle
ment got along well. A good deal of
work was done, and the crops yielded
well.
At the conclusion of Mr. Thomas re-
marks the Society, on motion, ad-

There are no good reasons why times
should be hard. Crops throughout Hancock
county never were better; and soon they
will begin to move. The money shut up in
the county treasury will be distributed, and
an excellent trade awaits you. I'm time of
peace prepare for war; put your advertise
ment before the people; if you really have
something the people want, let them know
it by putting out your sign, scattering your
business card far and wide, by putting up
posters, etc, and, what will do you more
good than all else. by putting an attractive
and snowy advertisement in your county

your views, but the paper which has inde,
