Home,

Best Of all things to US is home. II
hours of ambition and pleasure we may
sometimes forget its exquisite sweetness
but let sickness or sadness come, and
We return to it at once. Let the hollow
hearts that feign friendship which they
do not feel, stand revealed before us
let US know, as we all must at moments
that however important we may be in
our own estimation, our places would
be filled at an hours notice should we
die tomorrow; then we whisper to our.
selves the magic word Home, and are
comforted.
Home, Sweet Home!" 1t does not
matter how humble it is, nor is it less a
home for being palace. 1t is where
those we love dwell-wherever that may
be-where we are valued for ourselves
and are held in esteem because of what
we are in ourselves and not because of
power, or wealth, or what we can do
for other people.
Who would be without a home p
Who would take the worlds applause,
and honor in place of the tenderness of
few true hearts and the cosy freside
meetings where the truth may be spo-
ken without disguise, and envious car
pings are unknown In life's battle
even the hero finds many enemies and
much abuse and SANDER and detraction i;
but into home, if is what it ought
to be, these things never find their way.
There, to his wife, the plainest man be-
comes wonderful tbing-a sage, a
man who ought to be President Of the
United States, and would be were his
worth known.

Litlls Hero.

Two children still and stark on a
snowy slope-the girl raped round in
the coat Of the boy, and both young
faces fixed by frost in the calm repose
of death-was the picture presented to
the eyes Of wearied searchers near
Mount Ayr, Ia, the other day. This
winters cold has taken many life, but
none of the unfortunates we're found
in so touching an attitude as this. 1t
was not in the heat of the conflict that
the boy died; there was no rafting
drum to stir his thickening blood, nor
comrades eyes to mark his heroic fall
nothing to rouse his young enthusiasm.
Bat the little coat folded careful ly about
the girlish form, and his own naked
breast, teld of the quiet courage and
self sacrifice with which he had met the
pitiless blast that blew as cold on him
as her.-Chilsicothe 70 Gazette.

prices, The road has paid expenses,
paid interest on the bonded debt and a
large per cent to the stockholders, from
the beginning. 1t carries coal from
Youngstown to Lake Erie at sixty cents
per ton less than any other road. That
is to say it carries at from forty to sixty
cents per ton while other roads charge
from one dollar to one dollar and twenty
cents per ton, and every other article is
carried in the same reduced ratio.
So. effectual has been its success in
competing with other roads, of the com
mon gauge, that all the roads centering
at Y Youngstown have offered this road a
bonus of thirty cents per ton on all coal
that is carried from that point and vi
cinity. This offer, il accepted, would

A Formally Compllea win,

In Augusta no provision has been
mace this winter for feeding and lodg.
ing tramps. A vagabond went into q
police-station and wanted to sleep there
"We only lodge prisoners" said the
sergeant behind the desk.
"You only lodge prisoners" repeated
the vagabond meditatively.
That's ALL" was the reply; "you've
got to steal something, or assault some
body, or something Of that kind"
live got to assault somebody, OF
something of that kind" again repeated
the va9aboud, thoughtfully. Then he
reached across the desk with his long
arm, and knocked the sergeant off his
stool, saying, as the officer got up with
his hand to his eye, "Give me as good
bed as you kin, sergeant, cause ]

Local Railroads.

The fact that notwithstanding the
general depression in business that still
exists through ut the country there
should still be 10 much interest mani.
tested in the bidding of local railroads,
shows that the facilities and advantages
of this means of locomotion and trans
portation are SO well understood and
appreciated by the people generally
that they are willing to make temporary
sacrifices in the way Of subscriptions
and taxes in order to secure them. One
cause of this wide spread feeling. so far
as this region is concerned, is the fa-
vorable showing that has been made on
behalf Of the Narrow Gauge railroads,
which roads by reason of their CON-
parative cheapness in first cost and far
greater economy in actual working ex-
penses, have commended themselves to
universal public favor The late report
to Congress in favor of a line from
Lake Erie to the Missouri river,in which
elaborate comparisons were made be
tween the Narrow Gauge and the Stand
ard tracks, has especially reused public
attention to the fact that local roads can
be built at small cost and run so as to
serve the immediate interests of those
who build them much more satisfacto-
rily than the Standard track.
As to the general advantages Of rail.
ways to the country through which they
pass, the arguments derived from actua
experience are too plain to need amplifi
cation at this late day. We observe
that out on the line of the proposed
Bellaire and Southwestern Narrow
Gauge road they are holding series oi
interesting meetings, several Of which
have been addressed by Col. Sullivan
who certainly presents some facts to
the people calculated to arrest their at
Wheeling Intslligencer.

Cheap,

A funny joke and all the more pala-
table as its truth can be vouched for,
occurred at prominent church in this
State. 1t seems that worthy deacon
had been very Industrious in selling a
new church book, costing Is cents. At
the service in question the minister, just
before dismissing the congregation, rose
and said: "All ye who have children to
baptize will please to present them next
Sabbath" The deacon, who by tie
way was little deaf, having an eye on
selling the books, and supposing the
pastor was referring to them, immedi
ately jumped up and shouted: "All who
haven't can get as many as you want by
calling on me, at Is oents each. IN. r.

How Jaky Watts Played &c Upon
. Benny Richards.

nO" S8Ay "8ktH Tuay yeO IL OROu
l. Benny Richards.
Jaky Watts and Benny Richards were
sitting in the dark in Watts kitchen the
other night, cracking hickory-nuts and
telling how good their respective fathers
we're. Jakey heard his fathers step up
stairs, and suddenly became silent.
Mr.. Watts had thrown out hint at
the dinner table that be would tend to
Jaky when he came home for tying his
sister up in bag When Jaky heard
the old gentleman's step approaching the
kitchen stairs, he said:
"Benny, something makes me feel as
if had forgotten to shut the back gate ;
I'll be back in a minute" and hurried
out of the door.
Mr.. Watts came down to the kitchen
shaking with suppressed rage, land seeing
a lone figure sitting in the dim light OF
the aee, he grabbed it up BY the ear and
raised 1t out of the chair. Benny set up
terrible bowling.
Mr.. Watts waltzed him around the
room, jerking out such remarks as, "Pll
teach you to perpetrate such things in
my house; you thought you'd maltreat
your little sister, did yor9 suppose
you'll want to put me in bag next =
The Richards boy Net up prolonged
how, interrupted occasionally by quick
"ouch!" J" and vigorous effort to cover
some tender spot with his hands.
Mr.. Watts gave him final wrench and
flung him up against the table, with the
observation that he guessed he wouldn't
forget this right away.
Benny rushed out Of the house, sniff,
fling, and uttering all sorts of threats
against Watts.
Jaky stopped him in the yard and,
with an expression Of. open n-mouthed
wonder, exclaimed:
"Why, Benny, in the world is the
matter2 Do you feel sick 7"
Benny did not stop to explain, but
sneaked over the fence and home, drop
ping a bad word at. every. step.
Jaky looked very weak as he came
into the house rubbing his legs and Show
ing disposition to run at every motion
his father made, and looked exactly as if
he had been whipped.
Mrs. Richards called the next day in a
high state of indignation. She took up
her quarters in the basement hall, with
Benny under her arm. and told the Watts
folks just what she thought of them.
She became highly indamed and chok-
ed with passion, and reminded them that
they couldn't ride over her, il Mr.. Watts
did hold government Office, not if she
knew herself. She woald like to see her
self associating with people as would set
upon and maliciously maltreat tender
Infant ...-....
Then she danced away with the assu.
rance that they hadn't heard the last OF
it. Mr.. Watts investigated the matter q
little, and he ami Jaky held business
meeting in the wood-shed, much to ia
ky's disgust.
The matter was thoroughly explained,
and Mrs. Watts sent bowl of currant
Jelly around to Mrs. Richards.
Mrs Richards says she never really
knew what dear, good lady Mrs. Watts
was before; but Benny says that all the
currant jelly in the district can't efface
the memory OF one night, and he longs
to be man, so that he can revenge him
