CastOpia

1t is mistake to suppose that Castoria is
not adapted to grown persons as well as Cnil>
dren. They only need to increase the quanti-
ty. But children have so maLy complaints
for which Castoria is adapted-like Wind
Collie, Sour Stomach, Worms, letter, Teething
and Group, that it is especially recommended
Tor them.
Its efforts are more certain than Castor OIL.
1t contains no alchohol and Is pleasant to take
as honey. 1t never gripes. By regulating the
stomach and bowels the CastOria coOls the
blood. expels worms and prevents feverish>
ness. quiets the nerves and produces health
then of course children can sleep In quiet and
mothers can rest.

WILLIAM z. FiNCK.
A Proposition Made Twenty
Years Ago For a Division
of tine School Fund.

William E. Finck is the Democratic
candidate for Supreme Judge. He L
also a very devout Catholic, and it ha.
been stated lately that he was in favo
of division OF the school fund.
In this connection, a reference to Mr.
Finck's conduct on this very importan
business when he was a Whig, repre-
senting his country in the State Senate
in 1853, becomes decidedly interesting
and shows him to have harbored idea'
then, on the school question, of so dan
gerOus character as TO make him ar
unsafe man, politically, to elevate te
the Ohio Supreme Bench.
Soon after Mr.. F.nck's election as
Senator the school law came before the
body for discussion. On March s, 1858
when, as the Senate Journal of thai
day records:
"Mr. Finck moved to amend the
amendment by adding to the end Oi
Section "a the following proviso: Pro.
vided that whenever any person hav.
ing certificate authorizing to teach
school in any county in this State, shall

districts of any such township, of hav.
ing taught any number of scholars resi-
dent in said township not less than
twenty, who have not attended any OF
the other common schools, or other
schools named in this act, of the town
ship during the year, and who have
been enumerated for school purposes,
stating the number of scholars taught
and the time they were In attendance,
the said township board shall draw the
proper order for the pro rata amount to
which such person shall be entitled for
such services from the School Fund,
taking into consideration the number
of scholars so taught and the same shall
be paid from the school fund, as in
other cases and for the purpose of as
certaining such pro rata sum, the said
Board shall ascertain the total amount
of school fund for the proper township,
applicable to each youth entitled there
to for the year, and shall allow such
teacher upon the principles above nam.
ed"
The foregoing amendment was de-
feated by large majority. But if the
people of Ohio desire to have their
school funds divide6we know of no
one who will more gladly help them to
do SO than William E. Finck.-CSncira-

THE claim of t'solid South" islikely

sion, and the Republicans are using il
with great force against them, chiefly
because of Democratic efforts to keep
it "solid." Recently the country has
been surprised with the news that
South Carolina is likely to be carried by
the Democrats. The careful Southern
correspondent of the Cincinnati Com.
mercial gives this startling insight OF
the methods by which this result is to
be reached "The outsider is apt to be

which the colored voters can be pro.

troops into the State. He says it is all
nonsense to talk about the presence of
troops intimidating the white men, as
every one of them will vote If the

BE PATIENT.-Be patient with your
friends. They are neither omniscient
nor Omnipotent. They cannot see your
heart, snd may misunderstood you.
They cannot know what is best for
you, and may select what is worst.
Their arms are short, and they may
not be able to reach what you ask.
What if they also lack purity of Pur-
pose and tenacity of affection; do not
you also lack these graces? Patience
is your refuge. Endure, and in endu-
ring, conquer them, and if not them,
at least yourself. Above all, be pa
tient with your beloved. Love is the
best thing on the earth, but it is to be
handled tenderly, and impatienee is b
nurse that kills it.
Be patient with your pains and cares.
We know it is easy te say and hard to
do. But, dear child, you must be pa
tient. These things are killed by en-
during them, and made strong to bite
and sting by feeding them with your
frets and fears. There is no pain or
care that can last long. None of them
shall enter the city of God. A little
while and you shall leave behiad you
the whole troop of bowling troubles,
and forget in your first sweet hour of
rest that such things were on the earth.
Be patient with your deferred hopes.
The heart is sick, no donbt, but sick
hearts must take the tonic of patience.
All that is worth hoping for will come
to the Christian. The hope itself is put
In peril by the impatience that weak
ems and prostrates yonr strength. Here
also you have no better resourse than
patience. You will reach next year
just as soon by taking it quietly; the
end of your preparation for life's work
your apprenticeship or college course
will come of itself. The end of all
your labor is not far beyond, and need
not be sighed for or impstiently eX-
pected. Clad in patience, you walk in
an invisible armor, against which
temptations to repine and murmur fall
harmless. Put on patience against
your hungry hope.
Be patient with yourself. You are
full of faults, and your life abounds in
self-debasement. Some confidence in
yourself is needful to your success.
Be patient with God. 1t seems al
most irreverent to counsel you so. And
yet, you know that even against God
you have cried out in your impatience.
Your garden did not bloom in season,
or bear fruit in abundance, and in your
heart you said, "Cod will never re-
ward me according to my works. He
has flowers for others, and fruit even
for the ungodly, but me He leaves in
want. When shall my turn Gomez"
Be patient. He has one time and you
have another. Your time is when you
desire; His time is wheD you can use.
He sees your day Of real want; you see
only the hour of ,caprieious wishes.
For Him and for you there is abun-
dance of time. His years shall not
fail, nor will yours. You can afford to
wait. Be anntient.=Methodist

Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandruf,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create new growth, except.
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair splendid, glossy ap-
searance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and /
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"

PRAY SHORTER, BROTHER.-Whe
DIR. Woods and Prof. Stuart were in
the prime Of their usefulness and fame
at Andover, ii occurred to the students
that the prayers of these distinguished
teachers at the seminary devotions
were longer than necessary, and how
to remedy the difficulty was a subject
of much thought and conversation. No
one was willing to 'belP either of the
old professors. At length committee
of the students was appointed to confer
with them. The committee divided
itself into halves, and at the same hour
one part went to DR.. Woods, told him
of the delicacy which the students felt
about addressing Prof. Stuart on the
matter of his long prayers at the chap
ell, and implored the mediation of DIR.
Woods with the professor, to induce
him to shorten his petitions. The rest
of the committee also conferred with
Prof. Stuart to the same effect, with re.
gard to the prayers of DR.. Woods, and
besOught his intercession with the VEN
erable professor of theOlgy to abbrevi-
ate his suppfications. On the depar
ture of the committees each professor
instantly seized his hat and cane and
started for the house of his associate.
They met midway, near the old man.
sion house. Prof. Stuart, his eyes dan
cling with fun, at once hailed the good
doctor with the startling information
that the students thought his prayers
were too long. And Immediately DIR.
Woods graveiy quenched the spark
ling light in the Hebrew professor
face by telling him that the same view
in regard to his petitions. The two
professors continued their walk and
meditations. Both came to the conclu-
sion that each of the offenders had been
taken in his own net, and subsequently,
the chapel prayers were shortened, or
else entirely relegated to the students.
