"In Trouble" Go to God in prayer,
By promise He will meet you there,
And grant you prompt and sure relief
From all your sorrows, pain and grief.
am TroubleY" Unto Christ repair
In faith, and love, and fervent prayer;
He in return will soothe your heart,
And bid all troubles thence depart.
Art thou afflicted, thou shalt find
In Christ true solace for the mind;
Hence, seek refuge in the Lord,
And thus secure blest reward.
Art thou with troubles sore oppressed,
In mind and heart broke down-distrcssed
Unbar your door and let Christ in;
A ''present help" you'll find in Him.
A refuge from all storms at sea
The Savior promises to be
To those who shall in him confde,
And take Him for their constant guide.
Pour out your prayers into His ear,
And in reply He will appear
A very present help, indeed,
To you and all who stand In need
OF help divine, to pass you Ger
To that celestial, blissful shore.

Wait for the Evidence.

1t is a notorious fact that the self
styled ''independent press" is the most
violently paltizan of any in the country
to-day, whether talking about politics.
morals or religion. This style of press
has been bounding Mr.. Beecher ever
since Tilton made his Statement :" and
now that the Case is in court, and every
fair person awaits the evidence. this
press is doing its utmost To 1orestall the
verdict, and destroy the public conf
dcnce. Prominent in this crusade is
the Springfield Republican, and North

opened into the same entry as did the
sitting room, but before she could open
it another shot was fired, and Mrs. Low
pushed the door violently into Mrs.
Martindale's face, crying, .'Oh, my God,
he has shot me :" The blood was
streaming from her head and covered
Mrs. Martindale's arms. The latter in
her fright then closed the door again,
and the wounded woman turned and
walked down stairs into William Pow
er's barber shop. The surgeon soon
arrived and prohed the wound. finding
that the ball had pierced the skull be-
hind the ear. He could not reach it.,
and she will doubtless die.
In the meantime another shot had
been fired. This time the wretched
murderer had taken his own life. Stand
ing in the entry, as his wife went down
stairs, he placed "a revolver to his left
temple and killed himself almost in

The Natural Result of Personalities.

The telegraph reported the other day
that Charles X. Lands. of NineEtnd

wounded Fri Carruth. an editor of n

of this tragedy seem tn he these: Mr..
Lands some wears ago purchased Il bar

and well matmcd plans for improving
the same, he has built up the city of
Emelaud, Il place of some l2.WW people
Owning all the land. and having peculiar
ideas on certain subjects. Mr.. Lands
sold his lots with certain restrictions
and conditions. some of which may
seem to he very arbitrary. On certain
streets and lots Il certain style of house

Not the least uutic,;tllr feature of

that no Intoxicating liquor could ice sold
in any binding in this large and thrifty
town. Consequently Nimrlamd has been
the temperance town par excellence of
the corIntr, 4; and for this feature alone
Mr.. Lands should have great credit
But Mr.. Lands had some domestic
difficulties. Some Years ago he clipped
with and married the daughter of IL
very eccentric man. What has tran

these vulgar and insulting thlusts at
his domestic peace WAS shown Mr.
Lands 10y his wife on Friday last. when
taking the paper in his hand he went
at once To Carrutl's office and shot HIM
without IL word. When the officers
came Ia arrest him, Lands still held

The Hardwick Liquor Agency.

Mr.. Editor Il wish to correct Il por-
ton of the article which appeared in
your last number relating to the "Hard-
wick Liquor Agency" 1t is true that
my books show Il sale of $S3l worth of
liquors. but not for the town of Hard
wick. Besides Hardwick. have sold
to nearly all of the town of Walden. all
of Stannard. West Woodbury.. and one
district in Woodbury.. south of Mack

population in all the localities where |
have sold. amount to about $500. which
Is about hrccfuuIths of one pint of
liquor to each person. Besides this. |
have bought all the liquor used in my
business for the manufacture of tinctunc.
bittcIS. etc. of the town. which amounts
to nearly onc-titth of the whole. and
this is reclaimed in the sales. and hrlI.>
mike he S-;5l. The amount used hv
me deducted from the whole. would

each person.
The above statements are Facts hich
