HENRY WILSON'S HUMBLE ORIGI

HENRY Wilson'S HUMBLE ORIGIN
A correspondent of the Salem (Niass. J
Gazette writes: MANY anecdotes con-
corning the late Vice-President, will
doubtless be recalled. I have one, re-
ceived some years ago from an eye and
ear witness, which shows that the al
fusion to humble life was iistasteful
to his parents. Twenty years ago,
when Henry Wilson was elected United
States Senator, his townsmen, always
kindly approaching the advancement
of their fellow citizen, held a meeting
to testify their satisfaction ut the event.
One of the speakers, after landing Mr..
Wilson, said And when we remem-
Der whom he sprang FROM etc, MIR.
Goliath, Henry Wilson's father, was
sitting near the orator, much gratified
by the homage to his sons charac-
ter, but at this point said, to
him, what does he mean2 I've a
good mind to get UP and kick, I"
etc. In choosing charge of surname
in early life, Henry Wilson was iniiu-
enced by the fascination of q leading
politician of his native State, who seems
to have decreased in proportion as Hen
ry Wilson increased. Gen. Jane s
Wilson, of Keene, Democratic Speaker
of the New Hampshire House of Rep
resentatives, then in the early prime
of life, of captivating address, fine per-
son, 1.-THE and nervous in frame and
phrase, of attractive conversation as well
oratory, and surrounded with all that
should constitute earthly happiness.
But his change in politics in the cam
paign of 1910 seemed unmake him as
the same campaign made the fortune of
his Natick namesake.'

YOURSELF.
Press,

You cannot find more companiona-
bic person than yourself, if proper at
tention be paid 10 the Individual. Your
self will go with you wherever you like,
and come away when you please-ap-
prove your Jokes, assent to your propo-
sitions, and, in short, De in every way
agreeable, if you only learn and practice
the true art of being on good terms with
yourself. This, however, is not SO easy
as some imagine, who do not often try
the experiment. Yourself, when it catch
es you IN company with no other person
is apt to be severe critic on your faults
and foibles, and when you are censured
by yourself, it is generally the severest
and most intolerable species of reproof
1t is on this account that you are afraid
of yourself, and seek any associates, no
matter how inferior, whose bold chat
may keep you from playing the censur.
Yourself is likewise jealous friend. IF
neglected and sighted it becomes bore
and to be left, even a short time, 'sby
yourself is then regarded as actually
cruel pennance, as many may find when
youth, health Or wealth hath departed.
How important is it then to ''know thy
self, to cultivate thyself, to respect thy
self, to love thyself warmly but rational
ly." A sensible self is the best of guides
for few commit errors but in broad dis
regards of its admonitions 1t tugs con-
tinually at the skirt of men to draw them
from their cherished vices. It holds up
its shadowy finger in warning when you
go astray, and it sermonizes sharply on
your sins after they have been commit
ted. Our nature is twofold, and the
noblest part is the self to which we re-
fer. It stands on the alert to check the
excess of the animal impulses, and tho
it becomes weaker in the fulfllment of
its task by repeated disappointments, it
is rarely SO enfeebled as to be unable to
rise up occasionally sheeted and pale,
| like Richards victims, to overwhelm the
| offender with bitter reproaches. Study,
therefore, to be on good terms with
yourself. It is happiness to be truly
pleased with yourself-Er.

BOUNCING A MINISTER. Gray
wife was very i'll in Chicago, and the
family, obeying the physicians injunc-
ton of quiet, tiptoed silently around her
bed. The Rev. d. A. Morrison called to
look after her soul, and wo uld not heed
the husbands request not to disturb her
but persisted in exhorting the sick
woman to prepare for death and in pray
ing for her salvation. At length, Mr..
Gray pulled the minister out of the room
boxed his ears with his first and threw
him into the mud of the streat. A JUS
tice impressed with the Nervousness of
a.prayingand exhorting minister, sent Mr..
Gray to jail for thirty days. About the
same time the wife died, killed, accord
ing to the belief of the physician, by the
excitement of spiritual ministrations.
The facts aroused strong sentiment
favorable to the prisoner, and he was
pardoned out of confinement after only
two days of it /; but nothing has been
done to the Rev. Mr.. Norton.

How FAR WILL BEES GO FOR HONEY.

How FAR WILL BEES GO FOR HONEY.
The above question, says the Rural
New Yorker, we belive, has never been
satisfactorily answered. A bee-keeper
once tried the old experiment OF busting
the bees with -four as they left the hive,
then rode to heath seven miles away,
where he discovered his white bees bus
lily engaged in collecting honey. This
experiment, however, cannot be relied
on, for the the simple reason that pollen,
with which bees are frequently compile
teiy covered, bears a close resemblance
to flour, and might readily be taken for
it when bees are on the wing. 1t is our
belief that they seldom venture more
than three miles from home, for we
have known them to be in a starving
condition apiary only four miles away
was fiourishing and gathering stores rap
idly. 1t has in recent years been prov
ed by italian hybrids that queens have
met with drones which were known to
be at least three miles away, but this will
scarcely apply to working bees, fitting
about from flower to flower they must
become weary before they are four or
even three miles away from home.

referring to the late trial, thanked his
audience for their patience and con-
sideration. Without any concerted
action, this church had stood for two
years with immense sympathy for
their chosen head and pastor; and
what they had done was spontaneous.
This unity of the church in sorrow and
affection for two years was not from
any arrangement with the pastor, but
from an indwelling spirit of God.
They had passed through the Red Sea.
like the children Of Israel, aud were
now on the other side. and the wheels
of Pharaoh's chariots they could now
see sticking in the mud
The speaker deprecated alterations
of households; invoked them not to
break up the harmony of church :
God had not baptiscd him for nothing,
bnt was preparing him for work,
though he did not know what it was.
Things were being consccratcd for
great mission, and God had comforted
them. BY the way he felt this church
was consecrated for new work, and
they were to be employed to unsteel
hard heart, and make holiness not
poem, but q reality. Let them rejoice,
as God was leading them step by step
to Zion.

Hon. John !. Ingalls, honored Win

company with Hon. NJ. N. Murdoch,
he arrived here about an hour before
shutdown from Arkansas City. having
entered the county on the west at Ok
ford. Immediately upon his arrival
our citizens began calling upon him.
He was taken in carriage around the
town 10 tae places of interest. and out
upon the mound east of the village he
obtained, as he said, ''onc of the most
enchanting views his eyes ever beheld.'
Upon his return. at dusk, callers con-
tinued to flock about him to form his
acquaintance and TO do him honor.
Finally so many citizens expressed a
desire to hear some public declaration
OF his sentiments upon affairs of State
and Nation, the assembly was called 10

and fully against the present Indian

and National intercourse was being
established to the south OF us. He
repudisicd the present Quaker Indian
policy, and avowed his purpose to
withhold no efforts IN attempting its
overthrow and the establishment of a
Territorial government in the Indian
Territory. He especially deprecated
the effort now being made by the adj
minisiration to transfer 10000 Sioux

Territory south of us. His opinions
aud purposes were heartily applauded,
and his hearers felt that they had

Nation. lie assured his audience of
desire TO become acquainted with their
wants and necessities, and invited
communication and information upon
all important questions. The social
intercourse was kept up until late
hour. On Sunday morning the Sena-

well pleased with his visit, our people

For the EAGLE.
The Fourth on the COwskin.

Mr.. EDITOR: Let me tell you some
thing of the grove meeting on the 4th.
The rain III the morning laying the
dust and making the air SO pure led us
TO anticipates happy time. We started
out about s O'Clock in the morning,
took in our neighbor Koith's young
folks so as to complete the load, and
| then we were con our winding way"
to beautiful grove on the Cowskin
called Works Grove" OF all the
streams | ever saw this is the most
crooked, and in the future, at no dis
tant date. we shall try to change the
name, tor it is pity that such a beau
tiful stream with such groves aud
springs could not have prettier name
In our drive we saw such hedges and
such trees, such wheat fields aud corn
tasseled out, and in Mrs. Reynolds
yard completely covered with flowers,
felt truly that even Solomon in all
his glory was not arraycd like one of
these" and nowhere could there be
such a delightful country as this. We
reached the grove in good time, had a
chance TO look around some and ad-
miro those large trees that threw out
their branches over our heads, as much
as to say awe welcome you,n and the
little cooling spring that ripplcd along
the bank TO quench the thirst of the
weary one. Could we, amid all this,
forget God? No, no. The very seem
cry around us had tendency to ele-
vate our thoughts TO that Great and
Good Being who has given all things.
Services commenced by singing the
old but applicable, praise God from
whom all blessings flow.' Prayer by
Rev. Mr.. Mann. Rev. Mr.. Nessley then
chose from the bible his text, the 147th
Psalm, part of the goth verse: "He
hath not dealt so with any Eeticn."
He went Oh to say what had been done
as Nation, low the word, the preached
gospel, had been sent to every cline
and people betting the whole world as
il were, doing more for the advance
ment of Christ's Kingdom than the
mother country had ever done, wind
ing up with the one thought that our
future prosperity depends wholly on
our acknowledgment of God. Ireally
wish you had his sermon, for it was
really an excellent one for the occasion.
The Rev. AIr. Mann then took the
ground, and his remarks were brief
and to the point, and as he said he saw |
the cloud coming which made his hear
crs rather uneasy, SO closed his dis
course.

The mineral resources Of the region

The agricultural and mineral value Of
this country, which many people sup
pose to be worthless, has long attract
