like that of Mr.. Everts as to preclude
comparison. being of the impassioned,
emotional, stump>speaking sort. Mr..
Beach is grandiIoquent almost in his
delivery, and is personally studiously
dignified He is white-haired, white
whiskered old man, with bald-eagle
face, and big, round head. His
features not mobile, and be has no
power of mimicry, consequently
there is mover any touch of humor
in his speaking, although he deals
effectively in sarcasm. His voice is
musical, powerful, and under good
control; and his available vocabulary
is sufficient to supply him with APP
propriate and strong English. he is
more popular as a speaker than Mr..
Evarts but less meritorous from alit-
erary standpoint; more forceful than
Mr.. Porter, but less entertaining.

Patronlze Your Home Merchants.

To all our people we commend the
following rules which have been
deemed so suggestive that merchants
in other places have united in causing
their publication as an advertisement:
1st. 1t is your home; you cannot
improve it much by taking money
away to spend or invest.
End. There is no way of improving
place so much as by encouraging
good merchants, good schools and
good people to settle amongst you;
and this canpot be done unless you
spend your money at home.
80. Spend your money at home,
because that's where you generally
earn il; it is your duty.
4th. Spend your money at home,
because when it is necessary for you
to get credit it is of your own town
merchants you have generally to get
it, and they must wait for the money,
therefore, when you have the cash in
hand spend it at home.
9th. Spend your money at home.
1t will make better merchants Of
your merchants; they can and will
make better assortments and sell at
lower rates than if the only business
they can do is what is credited out
while the money goes to other critics.
9th. Spend your money at home
You may have sons growing up who
will some day be the best merchants
in the city; help lay the foundation
now; it is duty; it may be your
pride in after years to say, "By my
trading at the store | got my son q
position as clerk, and now he is
proprietor;"tbe you will think it hard
if your neighbors spend their
money but of town. Set the example
now.
7th. Spend your money at home.
Set the example aud this Summer try
and buy your dry goods, groceries,
meats and everything at home, and
you will see wonderful change in a
short time in the business lookout of
the place; therefore, deal with your
merchants.
9Th. Spend your money at home.
What do you gain by going off Z
Count the cost; see what you could
have done at home by letting your
ne erchant have the cash. Strike q
balance and see if you would not have
been Just as well off, besides helping
YOUR merchants.
9th. Spend your money at homo;
your merchants are your neighbors,
your friends; they stand by you 10
sickness are your associates; with
out your trade they cannot keep
their business. No stores, then no
banks, no one wanting to bay prop
erty, to settle and build up youc place.

This, That and the Other.

There is transcendent power in
example. We reform others uncons-
ciously when we walk uprightly.
To all men, and at all times, the best
friend is virtue; and the best compan-
ions are high endeavors and honorable
sentiment.
The heights of earthly promotion
lift US no whit nearer heaven. 1t is
easier to step from the lowly vale of
humiliation and sorrow.
They that deny God destroy
mans nobility, for certainly man is
kin to the beast by his body; and if
he is not kin to God by his spirit, he
is base and ignoble creature.
The soul that does good to others,
grows in goodness. He that is me-
dunn of blessing to others is himself
blessed thereby. Hence selfishness
folly as we'll as sin; for while
it prevents our doing good to others,
in the same degree it prevents our
doing good to ourselves.
If any one speak i'll of thee, flee
uOtl0 W I1IuO wv IL hi0
examine thy heart; if not guilty, it is
a fair instruction; make use of both;
so shalt thou distil honey out Of gall,
and out of an open enemy create q
secret friend.
The habit of looking on the bright
side is Invaluable. Men and women
who arc evermore reckoning up what
they want rather than what they
have-counting the difficulties in the
way, instead of contriving means TO
overcome them-are almost certain
to live on corn bread, fat pork and
salt fish and sink into unmarked
graves. The world is sure to smile
upon man who seems to be success
ful, but let him go about with
ores tfallen air and the very dogs in
the street will set upon him. We
must all have losses. Late frosts
will nip the fruit in the bud, banks
will break, investments will prove
worthless, valuable horses will die
and China vases will break, but all
these calamities do not come together.
The wise course to pursue, when one
plan fails, is to form another; when
ono prop is knocked from under us,
to fill it's place with a substitute, and
evermore count what is left rather
than what is taken. When the final
reckoning is made, if it appears
that we have not lost the conscious
ness of our internal rectitude; if we
have kept charity toward all men; if
by the various discipline of lite. we
have been freed from folIies and con-
firmed in virtues, whatever we have
lost, the great balance sheet will be
in your favor.
The love that survives the tomb is
the noblest attribute to the soul. If
it has woes, it has likewise its de-
lights; and when the Overwhelming
burst of grief is luled into the gentle
tear If recollection, then the sudden
anguish and convulsive agony over
the present ruins of all we most loved
are softened away into pensive medi-
taticn of all that it was in the days
of its loneliness. Who would root
such sorrow from the heart? Though
it may sometimes throw passing
cloud over the bright hour of gayety,
or spread deeper sadness over the
hour of gloom, yet who would ex-
change it for the song of pleasure or
the burst of revelry. No; there is
voice from the tomb sweeter than
song; there is a mberance of the
dead to which we turn even from the
charm of the living.

Peace VS.. War.

We willingly do what we can to
hasten that good time when peace
shall cover the earth and the nations
shall learn war no moro. We coca.
sionally receive from Amasa Lord, OF
Elgin, Ill. the western secretary oil
the American Peace Society, sheet
containing carefully prepared statis-
tics, and pointed articles, showing
the curse of war, and the blessing OF
peace, and never fail to make lib
eral extracts from it. We CLEAN the
following from the last sheet:
DR.. Peidesux says that Cesar slew
l, 122, 1000 of his enemies in the fifty
battles he fought, and probably the
ambition of this single man cost the
lives of 1000, 900 human beings. Save
US from C@serisml An equal num-
Der wore probably destroyed by
Alexander and NapoIeon-making
5000, 900 of mon butchered by these
great commanders.
Edmund Burke estimated the total
OF human slaughter down to his own
time at 50, 600, 900, 0OO-nearIy thirty
five times the present population of
the globe.
Our boosted civilization has in.
creased human slaughter by mechani-
cal invention just as it has increased
the products of labor; so that war
has become scientific butchery," as
NJ. Passy, of Paris, has characterized
it.
In only three of the small Prussian
provinces there were in October, af-
ter the three months war with France
80, 754 widows Of soldiers and 1880
soldiers orphans reduced to misery
and thrown upon the public for sup
port. A French woman exclaimed
to reporter of the war: ooh, sir, it
is not we who made the war, but it
is we who arc the sufferers.
DR.. Draper, alter thorough search
of the records, declared that $780,
900 men were killed, wounded and
injured for life during the American
civil war of 1875.
England expends $3.50, 900
81, PSI, 900, 000-more than her ma
tional debt every thirty years on her
military and naval establishments.
During the past ten years of peace the
United States have expended $3.50.
900, 900 on her army and navy. The
cost was $73, 356,514 in 1874. And
yet the new tax bill became law in
face of the fact that we would be bet
ter off with half this expenditure.
But worse than all is the moral and
physical degen eracy occasioned by
war. Europe keeps 5000, 900, of the
most able bodied men under arms.
What becomes of the 100000 wo.
men whom they ought to marry and
suE5ort?
The soldiers are the pick of the
masculine sex. War demands the
best; and as for those who are not fit
for soldiers they are declared just fit
for labor, and to be the fathers of the
next generetionl Hero the physical
degeneracy comes in. Darwin and
Huxley say that the world progresses
by the survival of the fttest War
reverses the policy and leaves the
least fit to survive in posterity.
Horace Mann said that Napoleon
shortened the stature of FrenchmeH
two inches by constantly selecting
out of 30,OOO,OOO people the tallest
men for the army!
As the moral result of the war, the
Duke of Wellington said that Men
who have nice notions ofreligion have
no business to be soldiers" Bacon
said that Except you could bray
Christianity in morter, and mould
it into new paste, there is no pos
siblity of holy war"

HEAD AND HAND WoRK.-1t is no
less fatal error to despise labor when
regulated by intellect, than to value
it for it's own sake. We are always
in these days trying to seperare the
two; we want one man always think
ing, and the other to be always work
ing, and we call one gentleman and
the other an operative; whereas the
workman ought often to be thinking,
and the thinker often to be working;
and both should be gentlemen in the
best sense. As it is, we make both
ungentle, the one envying, the other
despising bis brother; and the mass
of society is made up of morbid think
ers and miserable workers. Now it
is only by labor that thought can be
made healthy, and only by thought
that labor can be made happy, and
the two cannot be separated with
impunity. All professions should be
liberal, and there should be less
pride felt in popularity of employ
ment, and more in excellence of
achievement. -Raskin.

NOW.
BIZ ROSE TERRY COOKE.

When am lying pale and dead,
Come not, dear friends, around my bed,
And pour your loss in deafened ears
And wash my needless face with tears.
What thrill ef hope or tenderness
Will beat beneath my burial dressf
What look of gratitude arise
And lift the lids of sightless eyesi
What loving voice escape those lips
From which no speech or language slipsl
Alas l cannot rouse and saw:
"If ye Lament me l will stayl"
Speak while hear, and while long
To feel your love is true and strong,
While peace can sooth my troubled brow.
Wait not to miss me; hold me now
Set not your kisses on my cheek,
Nor on my mouth, too cold to speak;
And in your fruitless grief forbear
To shed their sweetness on my hair.
In life l long to feel their breath,
But what are kisses worth to Deathi
Like blossoms dropped ON ice and snow
Like songs when bowling tempests blow
wasted gift, a vain caress,
That might have been a power to bless,
longing answered all in vain,
touch that Death must needs disdain,
That might life with joy endow.
Oh il you kiss me, kiss me now.
Remember not when 1 am gone
The deeds l did or would have done;
How much loved, how vainly strove
To find an answer In your love;
Nor weep to think what loss is yours,
Since neither life nor love endures;
Say not with tears and cries and prayers:
would we bad shown him tender cares,
Had patience with the faults we knew,
Chung to the heart so warm and true,
That now we weep with hopeless pain
And know will never come again."
All breathe not then the useless vow;
But if you love me, love me now.
Nor, standing round my wintry grave,
Too late to serve me or to save,
Fling on it all you have to give;
"At last his follies we forgive"
An angel might repel with scorn
Such speech of poor repentance born,
Might weep to see such Leyite pride
Pass coldly by a coffins side.
No if within your hearts there be
kind but sumbering thought of me,
A memory of the vanished past,
A hope of peace and love at last,
A speechess prayer, a silent sense
That sometimes speaks in my defence,
That say "0ur life is not too long,
And we, perhaps, were sometimes wrong"
All list to that pleading voice
And bid a living heart rejoice
If late remorse or grief allow
Rorgiv sness then, forgive me now.
