Heaven.

Some have said the sweetest words
in the language are heart. home. hap
piness and Heaven. From them we
choose Heaven. Along the rugged
road of life the contemplation of
the enjoyment held out to.us, through
the word of God, not only cheer and
comfort us, but incite us to a more
holy living.
The first assurance we have in the
Holy Scriptures of the existence of
Heaven, we find recorded in the
translation of 'Enoch walked with
God. and he was not for God took
him. And again in the translation
of Elijah, 3 Kings 3 IL, and aEliiah
went up by whiriwind into heaven.
like Enoch he was taken to heaven
soul and body"
The angels that descended at the
birth of Christ, proves still further
the reality of Heaven: And sudden
ly there was with the angel multi
tude of the heavenly host praising
God"
''TheIe is glorious world of light,
Above the starry sky,
Where saints departed. clothed In white,
Adore the Lord most high"
No sorrow, disappointments, affiic-
tions or temptations, in that heaven
ly cline.
In this life we suffer many things
by disappointment and sorrow, hoping
and continually looking forward for.
joy and happiness, which we never
realize, It's just beysnd our reach.
Our happiness will never be complete.
until we reach the heGrenly pOrld.
If faithful in obeying the commands
God has left us, we shall, by and by,
realize to the fullest extent, the
glories of Heaven. ANITA.

We met as strangers, Lady,
And as strangers we may part,
Yet thy memory will loag remain
Enshrined within my heart.

Through the lapse of coming years
Forget that love-look, warm and bright,
Which flashed through happy tears.

And through the weary day,
Mid grief and care its whispers light
Makes music round my way,
'Tis breathing at the twilight hour
Some sad, beloved strain,
That with wild, resistless power,
Brings back the past again.
I Icannot forget thy beauty rare,
Of form, and soul, and heart,
Yet memory brings the mournful truth
That we must dwell apart.

OF friends you fondly love,
And health and pleasure brighten
The path where'er you move.

Yes, down thro' that path to the river,
That terrible, terrible pain,
To where-tho' we tried so to keep him,
Our efforts were baffled and vain.
The waters were waiting to take him
Bear him away from our sight,
And leave but the loneness and sorrow
The long, wearing hours of night.
Oh! close to his side thro' the tempest,
His eyes meeting mine, till at last
The shadows grew closer about us,
The film o'er the vision was cast.
It'll only the space could measure
The short, family breathings between,
While over his features but only
The rest from all suffering was seen.
In the hands of Our Father we left him,

He will guard all her treasures in
Heaven
He will guide tlro' Life's intricate

Governor Hayes.

T ttiC OhiO AOtotS
About two thirds of the Republican
newspapers of Ohio, outside of the
dailies in two or three principal
cities, have put up at their editorial
heads the name of Rutherford b.
Hayes for President, and nine tenths
of the others have emphatically ex-
pressed their preferences for Hayes
as their first and only choice. The
enthusiasm of the Republican press
on this point, and the comments of
the press of the State generally, make
very clear the fact that there is no
Republican Presidential movement in
Ohio of any significance whatever,
except that for Hayes. 1t may be
remarked that this is unanimity for
the Repu blican standard-bearer OF
last fall-the successful leader in so
many important political contests-is
in severe contrast with the torn up
condition of the minds of the Democ-
racy on the question of National
leadership.

The Record of the House.

Washington Dispatch in New York
Times.l
The meeting of Congress was
eleven weeks tomorrow. In two
weeks more the date will come when
the last session of Congress ended.
All the appropriations were made
and every action of Congress neces-
sary to the regular and continuous
operation of the Government had
been taken. Some of the most use
ful investigations ever made in Con-
gress had been conducted to the sat
isfaction of the people. A large
amount of really important work was
accomplished, though it was the
short session, when little more is ex-
pected than the passage of the Ap-
preparation bills. This year, in
eleven weeks, only eight bills of small
Importance have become laws. One
bill the President has vetoed. About
seventy bills have passed the House,
the greater number being pension
bills, or bills ofa private nature. 1t
ought not to be omitted as part
Of the record of the House that up
ward of twenty-one hundred bills
have been introduced. 1t is an in
disputable fact that the work during
the whole of this session has been
less than has always heretofore been
accomplished b, fore the holiday re-
cess. The House has nothing before
it for action. The committees are
preparing no work. 1t is not within
the recollection of members that the
list OF committees has been called
through for reports three times in
one session. In the first days of
session, before the committees are
fairly organized, the list has been
called twice. But on the third call,
so much business has been present
ed by those first on the list, that the
last committees to be called have not
even had the opportunity to report
their measures to the House. Last
winter, for instance, the Committee
on the Pacific Railroad could not re
port Tom Scott's subsidy to the
House, and he was compelled to de-
pend upon the chances of a two
thirds vote to secure a consideration
of his bill. When needing two
thirds, however, he received much
less than majority. This session
the entire list of committees has been
eight or ten times called through,
and only few of them have suggest
ed any subjects for legislation. The
Committee on Ways and Means
meets twice a week, but has done no.
thing that might not have been fin
ished in two working meetings. The
last day for the meeting there was
not a quorum present. The Commit
tee on Appropriations seems to be
hard at'work, but not one of the i'm
portant bills has been introduced, and
the Legislative bill is not likely to be
brought in for at least another week.
Meanwhile the delay can not be
charged in any degree to the RePub-
lican minority. They have not yet
had an opportunity to oppose or OBJ
struct anything. The responslblll-
ty is plainly upon the majority, and
the delay is due tc inexperience and
inefficiency, not to use words OF
harsher import. If the Republicans
should decline to interfere in any
way in the business of legislation and
give the majority full sway, the APP
preparation bills would hardly be fin
ished before the end of the fiscal
wear.

Terrible Snow Storm in Russia.

4 Sl1On otUt IA A4t16Stass .
The Moscow Gazette gives details
of q heavy snow storm which oc-
CURED short time back at Saratotf
and its neighborhood. The roofs of
some houses were forced in by the
weight, and the snow was piled on
the sidepaths of the streets to the
height of the first story; also, the
cold was so intense that an officer
was frozen to death while proceed
ing to the barracks. A detachment
of Cossacks found upward of thirty
dead bodies in the surrounding conn
try, and the small houses in the
suburbs were covered to an extent
that made it difficult to rescue the
inhabitants. A disaster occurred to
a pleasure party of thirty young per
sons belonging to the highest circles
of the town. They had gone to a
ball at country house and danced
until three in the morning. The
storm commenced about two, and the
more prudent endeavored to persuade
the others to remain all night, but
they did not heed the advice and
started homeward. The vehicles
soon got astrsy and separated from
each other, and finally stuck fast
in the snow, the horses refusing
to proceed. The occupants then at
tempted to reach Saratoff on foot,
but, with one exception, all wandered
about the remainder of the night,
and when help was sent, after the
news was carried by the successful
member of the party, they were found
in the morning to have suffered more
or less from the effects of the cold.
The only daughter of the Deputy
Governor of the city had her feet
and hands frozen, and her condition
was most serious.

Jones, she was always known among
her frierds and relatives as Nellie

name would have given her any sat-
isfaetion.
Welsh children are called by their
fathers first names; this is quite
common. and the custom in a
measure peva,ls in America. Among
my near neighbors in Wales was
the family of Llys y Gwynt. That
was the name of the house.
The fathers name was Rich
ard Thomas. But the children, with
one exception, were surnamed Pritch-
ard Zap Richard); the exception
among fen was Erasmus Thomas. 1t
is so throughout the principality, bnt
not so much as in former years. In
America also this is often found.
Robert Abram and Ellis Pritchard
were brothers, and were well-known
citizens of.Trenton and Steuben, in
Oneida County. Here, however,
this practice will soon die out, and
the sooner the better. 1t is an un-
fortunate custom, through which the
names of our ancestors are buried in
impenatrsble obscurity.
In regard to the future of our peo-
pie in this country as a distinct
Welsh-speaking nation, it is not easy
to argue definitely. In the Older set
Elements the children, although able
to speak the language, prefer to con-
verse in English. There is a strong
probability that in these localities
coming generations will gradually
work out the old tongue, and that on
the spots where now assemble
crowded audiences to hear Welsh
preaching, their descendants, in
larger gatherings and more commo-
dious churches, will gather to hear
gospel dispensed in the universal
languageof the country.
1t is in the new settlements of the
West that the Welsh language will be
perpetuated the longest. Thither
are the emigrants bound, and there
they settle in strong numbers. There
Welsh churches are built and Welsh
ministers ordained. The language
may yet become obsolete throughout
the land, but that period must be re-
mote; and when l attend our Els
teddfodau, and mark the enthusiastic
nationality, or gaze on the listening
thousands at the preaching anniver
saries, l am led to think that posi-
Jly it may never come. And for one,

full Welsh heart, "Oes q byd fr

"Do you mean Gov. Hayes, of

"He is very likely to be the man.
He has good record, he stands on R

THE CHANCES FOR REPUBLICANS.
"Do you think the Republicans

"They are sure to succeed, unless
they make some grave error. The
Democratic party has already killed
itself by its recent excesses. This
is especially true Of California, and
in a measure true of the country at
large. 1t was deprived of power for
a long time without learning the
uses of adversely. Its sudden pros
perity will prove fatal to it. Then,
moreover, it is the party of imitation,
which would ruin it, without other

election fully demonstrated that fact.
