Letter from Harper's Ferry.

Mr.. Zttle-A number of the mem
bers of the Y. NJ. g. A., of your town
paid us visit last week and held reIig-
ious services in the different churches
as follows: Friday night in the Luther
an church; Saturday morning in the M.
E. Church at 8 o'clock p. NJ, in the
PRESBYTERIAN church; at 4 in Storer Col
lege Chapel; and at night in the M. L.
Church. All these services were inter
esting and impressive. They gave evil
dence that they are band of earnest,
active workers in the Masters cause.
BY their gentlemanly bearing and chris
tian courtesy in the families with whom
they stopped, they have won golden
opinions, and made many friends, and
the universal sentiment is that they
will favor us soon with another visit.
We regret that the circumstances
connected with their first visit to our
town were not as favorable as we could
have wished, the wcather,tor one thing,
being intensely cold, so that the attend
ance at their meetings was not as large
as otherwise would have been. Never
theless their presence and services were
quite inspiring and produced good ef-
feet. AS practical result, at the close
of the beautiful and impressive service,
Saturday night, in the NJ. Z. Church,
dozen or more names were secured as
the nucleus of a similar organization
here. We hope to have the pleasure
soon of reporting it in successful opera.
ton. We have the material and all
that is wanting is mutual and hearty
cooperation. The Y. NJ. c. A. is ano-
BILE organization and is doing an i'm
merse amount of good throughout the
country. 1t is beautiful sight to see
our young men consecrating their God
given talents to the cause of truth and
humanity. May their influence and
usefulness increase a thousand fold.
Both the church and country are loudly
calling for them. Never has there been
time when cooperative effort was more
needed for moral, social and political pu-
ri6cation. ClNlS.

V. and VIM. b. Osbourne, who depart
ed this life March the 18th, aged 7
Little Bertha now is sleeping,
In her little narrow bed,
Driving winds and pelting tempest,
Cannot reach her little head.
Fiercest storms may rage above her,
Sunshine gather, flowers bloom,
Winter wane and spring-time hover
All above sweet Berthas tomb.
Nothing now can ever harm her,
In her little grave so low.
For her waxcn hands are folded,
And her dewy eyes are closed.
Twas in vain they tried to keep her,
Loving friends did plead her stay,
But the angels softly whispered
Darling Bertha come away.
Now she's with her loving Saviour,
la that land of perfect rest,
She has left world of sorrow
And is numbered with the blest.
Then fond mother cease your weeping
Loving father dry your tears,
Bertha is not dead but sleeping
Till her Saviours voice she hears.

INSTRUMENTATION as. Is7s.


1t has been the fashion to elevate to
places of high honor, men who would
not be trusted across the street with a
shilling, and official rank is no longer
an indication ofprivate morality. Hence,
we have that widespread corruption
which pervades every department OF
the public service, and taking this
stand ,point, it is easy to understand why
so many prominent politicians become
the victims of iuvesti CATION.
The problem of the age is, to re-es-
tabish the ancient standard of political
morality and it well becomes US to scru-
linize closely the personal history and
the private character of those who are
presented for office.
When man comes before the peo-
pie for nomination he throws his whole
past life open to public inspection; we
nave as much right to examine 1t as we
have to read the records in the County
Clerks office, and no false delicauy
should screen him from investigation or
criticism. II is far better to criticise a
candidute than to expose nomme'i
and i, is infinitely better to have a eau
dijate discarded by the convention than
to have an c@csr disgraced after his
election.
We strike at no one in particular, but
we have good men enough to work the
ship aud we want it understood that
the convention must enlist strictly
first class crew.

ROTATION OFFICE.

Wherever an officer has shown him.
self honest aud efficient he should be
retained for another term of service.
We ought not TO turn out man who
has been tried and tested upon the hap
hazard of doing better. The cry for
rotation in office is the claptrap OF
those who are out ard who want TO get
i'm.
Other things being equal, the man
who has already served an apprentices
ship in AL office is better qualified to
perform its duties than mere stranger,
because he has obtained that education
which is only acquired by experience.
The people do not want to pay taxes to
teach new man the details OF official
business every four years. That very
successful merchant, A. Il. Stewart has
made it rule, never to discharge
man who has proved himselftouest and
capable. When bank officer has learn
cd the duties of his place and shown
himself worthy Of confidence and trust,
do the stockholders turn bin out and
take the risk Of experimenting with a
stranger? An officer is simply man

DEATH FROM OH OF BrcrER ALMONDS
"A FATAL MIsTAKE.-Our community
was startled last Monday evening 10y
the announcement of the death OF Mrs.
Philip j. Staub, from the effects of poi
sou administered through mistake. Mrs.
Staub had been afflicted for some time
with heart disease, and had procured a
bottle of something to quiet her nerves,
which bottle had been placed in cup
board by the side of another one which
resernbled it closely. The latter con-
tanned the oil of bitter almonds, dead
ly poison, for which there is no anti
dote. Shortly before nine clock Mrs.
S;aub retired, and asked her daughter,
Mrs. George Gruber, to give her some
of her medicine. Mrs. Gruber went TO
the cupboard, picked up the bottle OF
poison and asked her mother if that was
the right one. Upon her replying in
the affirmative, Mrs. Gruber admins
tered teaspoontul of the oil two
drachms) to the unfortunate wonan,suf-
fcient to kill several persons. The mis-
take was at once discovered, sweet milk
was given, and the physicians sent for.
Drs Leonard and Jones arrived IN
about twenty minutes, but the patient
was too far gone to render the use OF
the stomach pump expedieut. The pulse
was scarcely perceptible after the use OF
spirits, and in about forty five minutes
after taking the fatal dug, Mrs. Staub
was corpse.
Mr.. Staub, the husband of the deceas-
ed, had been using the oil OF bitter al
monds for several years for deafness,
and it is said he did not believe it was
poisonous. Some time ago he had in
duced one of his neighbors to use it.
Our drug stores do not keep it; the arti-
Gle used was procured in Urbana. Mrs,
Gruber, of course, is plunged into the
deepest grief, and has the heartfelt SYM
patty of our citizens. Mrs. Staub was
born in Shepherdstown, Jefferson coun-
ty, w. Va, and was y years OF age:
Two of her sons are keeping splendid
hotel in Terre Haute, Ind, and other
children reside in Greenville, Illinois.
The sorrowing relatives have been mott

has beeu in business for many years.
