look for the finishing stroke to confirm
their suspicion. Many seem to be chos-
en- in the very furnace Of affection, and
walk amid its flames through their whole
natural life. There are cases so peculier
that even those who believe God doeth
all things well, stand amazed, and won
der that they who walk the furnace of
such fiery affection are not utterly CON
sumed even though they behold the Son
Of God with them. But here is that
miracle Of supporting grace that sub
lime endowment of strength equal to
the day that cheerfuness of a firm
hope like an anchor to the soul.
We know one whose life thus far has
been striking illustration of our scrip
tural motto. In early life, previous to
her marriage, it was made her filial duty
to have the care of bed ridden mother,
who was entirely helpless For three
years she met every want by night and
by day, in which labors her entire
strength was so taxed that she was pros
trated under the heavy and continuous
burden. And when death relieved her
another member of the family was
thrown upon her care, and then another,
and another so that four found kind
ministrations at her hands, one after
the other, in a series of years, till their
death. Then, when she met the claims
of him who had chosen her for his CON-
panion in life, it was an introduction to
a new sphere Of increasing care and toll.
Here, in addition to her own family
cares, she ministered for twelve years to
the constant wants of her husbands
mother, whose earthly pilgrimage was
of ninety years. Then came
the burden and care of his two invalid
sisters and it was her hand that smooth
ed their pillow, it was her loving voice
that cheered them in the anxieties of
dying hour And in all these years of
care and toll for seven individuals, every
duty was cheerfully performed, and no
one ever heard an impatient murmur
from her lips. In the care of her seven
children, five we're reared and went forth
from her watchcare the sixth died in
early womanhood, and the seventh alone
remains under the paternal roof. But
he, since the age Of twelve years-he is
now twenty eight--has been subject to
epileptic fits, that occur almost every
hour of the day and night, requiring
her constant presence and attention.
Not day has she been exempt from
some heavy burden for nearly fifty years.
Not day but she still cheerfully takes
the burden up, and will continue to do
SO till God sees fit torelieve her. This is
the unknown, hidden religious life of
one who lays no claim to higher life !"
than others, but who exemplifes religion
as real, as approvabIe by God. as any
martyr ever did. And who shall say
she will not be as worthy of crown
when her life-work is done

gational church, Tuesday evening Feb. s,

an excellent discourse upon the general
subject of temperance from Pauls illus

ing the absolute necessity of bringing
into subsection the lower nature and ap-

this life or the life to come. At the close

TOWNsHEND.

The selectmen have so far closed up
the accounts for the building of the new
bridge over the West River as to ascer-
tain just what the cost of it is and, to
the establishment of many of the tax
payers the whole expense is but little
over four thousand dollars, and, besides.
it is quite safe to say that it is probably
the most substantial bridge over that
river.
For some unaccountable reason there
has been more difficulty in the man.
agement of the district schools the pres
ent winter than usual. Whether the
boys and girls have developed more of
Young America than usual, or whether
the teachers have more generally failed
to command the respect and retain the
control of the pupils, or whether the pa
rents have been more remiss than for
merly in the discharge of their duties to
their children, are questions which it is
not easy to answer satisfactorily to out
siders. The school in the village closed

CHRONIC CATARRH.
A PREVALENT DISEASE.

Perhaps no disease is prevalent as Catarrh.
This is owing In some respects to the many sudden
changes in the air. This fact has induced many
worthless remedies to be thrust upon the public

after trying so many of these so-called specifics.

The M.ssfssippi Election.

The Hon. Job E. Stevenson, of Ohio. now
in this city, received the following letter
yesterday from an old resident of Missis-
sippi. The writer is . native of Kentucky,
and most reliable and intelligent man.
To spare him from the Mississippi plan We
spare his name. He says:
suggest to our executive comuihtee that
perhaps it would be we'll enough to ask Of
our Northern friends now in New Orleans
to spend . short time in taking an insight
into the conduct of the recent election in
this State. Idare say nosuch fasee has ever
been committed in any country purporeing
to be an election. Indeed, their majority, the
Democrats, is so great that their o86cial
organ is ashamed to publish the returns.
Some cay it will reach 60,0oO. Grant car
ried the State four years ago by about
10000. A pretty good turn in four years.
1 hope our friends will consider Of the
matter seriously, a. it is Of vital importance
to %, and may prove Of greater importance
in national point of view.

The Result In IsauisIana..


L0IN4, according to Democratic authe1-
ity, L ouisians was claimed for Moncure for
Treas urer By, 4600 majority. In making mp
this count Csddo woA put down at geo
DsR0crstic majority, and Boseeir. at 70 Re-
publican. According to the figuring Of we'll
posted politioians, the fourth congressional
district alone shows . Republican gain of
majority CT l64, which the Deeaocrats are
figuring and basing taeir calculations upon.
IN support of our assertion regarding this
district, We have only, to call the attention
Of our readers to two or three little facts,
~ follows. In 1874 ,Caddo was claimed By
the Denocsats by 800 majority, and 90
counted in making up their estimates.
This year she retarns nearly t500' Re-
publican nsH,ity making ReDSS Shos.
Of 170c., In the came Democratic couAt
Bossiera was allowed &C. Republican
majority. This yssr she gives ever LEGO
majority, . Republican gain of HOO. BY
adding tho two gains together We have
clear Republican. gain in tho two parisAes
Of 27ooss In De Soto parish. according to
Democratic fguses of the election of sH4
and the present election, we have gain of
full 500 And what is the case in. these par
ishes is true tkDoughous the entire district.
These facts, together With the faot that the
Democratic majority has been greatly re-
duos3 in New Orleans, will prove oOnClu-
sivssy to any man who will take moment
to study, that the Democratic 2laimsof hav-
inlaarried louisiana are all bosh. Our ad-
vices from all p0rticAs of the State are to
the effect that the Republicans have made
publish elsewhere, from Mr.. Packard, as
cures rs that Louisiana is Republican be-
y0nd the shadow of . doubt.-Shreseporz

"Burleigh" writes from New York to the
Boston Journal a. follows:
The Catholics took the field Is Catholics in
Brooklyn. I have before me handful,
issued under Catholic authority and sent to
the Catholic voters of the city. The one
have was sent to gentle man supposed to
be Catholic. His wife was of that faith,
but he was not. The sheet lie . white one,
embossed with the Cardinals coat of arms;
crosses under this, and under that Q run
ming line, reading: Catholic first, citizen
next. Bishop Gilman" The circular is
filed up with advice to Catholics to make
their influence felt, and the name Of every
candidate for office who is q Catholic was
printed plainly on the circular. OF course
the Tilden electors are not omitted. Our
people are quite sensitive on the subject of
the tampering with our public schools,
turning the Bible out of some. and Protest
AMI teschers out of others. When this mat
tar comes into politics, - it certainly will
come, this direct interference Of the Catho-
liz priests with the great national election
vili surely be remembered, and. like chick.
ans. win come homo to roost."
