John Bohcn. a boy about sixteen years

the head last Sunday, on James Keely's
farm, by horse that he was trying to
harness. up The skull was fractured
from the left eyebrow to tho upper part
Of the forehead, and it is feared that the
results may be serious. The boy is known
in town, having worked at the Contin.

We heve noted elsewhere the fact that
Mr.. G. H. Allen, of Grand Meadow, was
nominated tor County Commissioner of
the Second District, and that he is re-
garded by all who know him as an ex-
ccllent man for 80 important an office.
We allude TO the subject again for the
purpose of doing justice to Mr.. D. w.
Donaldson, one of the truest men in the
county, who was candidate, and to the
town Of frankfort, always overwhelming
~ republican precinct, which asked his
nomination. Racine, during the last nine
years has had the Commissioner, and for
one term the Senator was selected from the
ranks Of her citizens. This year she
asked and obtained the privilege of fur
nishing candidate for the Legislature.
During the two years last past, Grand
Meadow village had one OF her best citi.
Gems in the Assembly of tho State, while
during all this time Frankfortl has had no
candidate for Commissioner, only to have
him withdrawn on the day of his ncmin.
alton at the belest of the Austin dictators,
and one candidate for Treasurer, only to
be beaten by the treachcry of his pretend
ed friends. This year she asked to have
one of her citizens designated for Com.
missioner, and the request was denied.
For two years Frank tord had stood firmly
for Grand Meadow-asking nothing but
success for the ticket. During nine years
she had stood by Racine faithfully and
unsel6shly, and now asking The meagre
distinction Of naming the candidate for
Commissioners, she is.met BY the joint re.
fusal Of Grand Meadow and Racine.
Trankford does not merit the cold shout
der from the towns named, and the policy
which dictated it is neither sagacious nor
just. II is Of no consequence to MI. Don.
aldsnn that he was not nominated, for the
Office confers upon the encumbent little
either Of honor or emolnment, but that
circumstance docs not make It any the
less wrong to deprive sister town Ut a
right which can not be disputed upon
any theory either Of principle or policy.
6uccess gained by ignoring justice is
worth less than failure occasioned by re-
speeding the rights Of others. Frankford
wss entitled to the candidate.

Tobacco.

| see an article going the rounds O
the papers headed, "No smoking il
the barn" Why not ''no smoking al
all 2" What are houses, barns, anc
estates, compared to the temple O
God ? Who will spare them, and ye'
destroy his own soul?
Mankind can not flourish under
the curse of tobacco. All our purest
and holiest conceptions of life and
duty languish and die under its with
ering blight. What harm does it do :
1t is nothing to smoke, it is so fash.
ionable you say.
What harm can it do when the in,
sidious fiend insinuates itself into ev-
cry blood particle, nerve and tissue OF
the human frame and deadens theil
substance until the soul is dwarted in
to an emasculated mummy.
How the heart struggles to resist its
assaults. How it calls on the lungs to
beat back the intruder. And the
breath rushes out loaded with its nox-
ious fumes as vile as aught Satan
could rake up flom the sulphorous
ashes of Hades.
And yet these fumes have been
through the whole circulation Of the
body and every blood particle has
shrunk in dismay at the pollution.
The tobacco fiend poisons and dis.
organizes the whole circulating sys-
tenn, and, young man, made to
achieve noble ends, how can you 90
it while sucking such an abomina'ion
into your soul.
A French saying Is current that to-
bacco is the tomb of love. True. 1t
makes a man not only unlovely but
unloving. 1t blunts ones sensibili-
ties. An inveterate smoker is incapa-
bic of softer and tenderer emo
tons Of life. HIS affections are a
fraud His finest feelings have fallen
a prey to the poison. What harm
does it do y? Look around you, and
see it's work. 1t sways the scepter
over almost every unhappy home,
robbing the domestic circle OF its fe-
licity.
1t is a boon companion with crime
and bars the march Of civilization. 1t
is a pioneer in the pathway to poverty
and bankruptcy, to dessolate hearth
stones and divorce courts Wv

Religious Views.

Mr.. MCMAsTER-A few remarks
and scriptural quotations 1t is I'M
derstood, that the principles OF our
government, are, all men are created tree
and equal, possessed of certain inalien-
able rights, among which are life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
We understand from scripture that
the whole race Of man sprung from
one family. Each member of the
government owes obedience to the
laws Of the government, and each
member of the family, obedience to
the known will of God. In both cases
subjects are rewarded as they give, or
refuse obedience to the laws of gov
ernment. We are passing away

not feel an interest in the question:

been that the Holy Scriptures settle
this question. Eternal life, life e.er-

Make Your Heaven Here.

There is no royal 70 ID Or short cut
to Heaven. If you want Heaven
for yourself in the world to come,
prepare it for yourself in the life that
now is. You have no reason to think
you will enter upon the next life in
any wise changed in character from
what you are when you leave this
"He that is holy let him be holy still.
He that is unholy, let him be unholy
STILL" And the character with which you
leave this world will be the slow and
natural growth of the years Of your
whole earthly life, and cannot be the
result of anything else, the teaching
Of any theology or man to the coll
trary Notwithstanding. The true con-
ception of human existence doubtless
is as one in this world and the next
this is the rill, that the river this the
dawn, that the day this the bud,
that the flower this the blade, that
the full corn in the ear. Heaven is
not something to be won or got or
bought, either by ourselves or some
body else for us but it is something
to grow into. In the next world you
are simply your own old self, only
moved on, and moved up, Sweden.
borg somewhere gives us a represen-
tation of persons who had died and
did not for considerable time even
know that they were dead. Their
old thoughts and feelings and loves
and desires ofthe earthly life remain
ed, and the world which they had
entered did not at first seem different
from the one they had loft, only it
was spiritual instead of physical. -
Hence they went on with their old
pleasures. Only by degrees did they
perceive their change Of states-and
that as they themselves became, BY

velopment, capable of deeper seeing

BE Economical.

Take care Of the pennies. Look
well to your spending. No matter
what comes in, if more goes out you
will be always poor. The art is not
in making money, but in keeping it.
Little expenses, like mice in a barn,
when they are many, make great
waste. Hairby hair, beads get bald
straw by straw the thatch goes off the
cottage, and drop by drop the rain
comes into the chamber. A barrel
is soon empty, if the tap leaks but
drop a minute. When you mean to
save, begin with your mouth ; many
thieves pass down the red lane. The
ale jug is great waste. In all other
things keep within compass. Never
stretch your legs further than your
blankets will reach, or you will soon
be cold. In clothes choose suitable
and lasting stuff, and not tawdry
fnerios. TO be warm is the main
thing, never mind the looks. A fool
may make money, but it needs a wise
man to spend it. Remember, it Is
easier to build two chimneys than to
keep one going Ifyou give all to
back and board, there is nothing left
for the savings bank. Fare hard and
work hard when you are young, and
you will have chance to rest when
Won are old.

dies only'--lf any costly fabric is ex.
hibited it is "for Americans" n
short time after the marriage of the
Duchess of Edinburgh, says a cor.
respondent, was in Worth's with a
lady friend who was selecting some
dresses Mr.. Worth, who rarely
makes silk dress of any kind under
1000 francs Il speak from experieuce),
was advising her to trim with imi-
tation lace dress for which she was
to pay $3.50 in gold. She said she
codld not think of wearing an imita-
ton. Wait a moment, said Worth,
and he came forward with one of his
women walters showing an exquisite
morning dress just completed for the
duchess. 1t was pale shade of pink
gross grain, trimmed intricately with
imitation of Valenciennes the price
was 1900 francs. The humble re-.
publican was not moved by the ex-
ample of the "Grande Duchesse Ma
rie," and would not take lesson in
imperial economy.
