RUTHERFORD Il. HAYES.

hNlhkhFOhD ID. ia
RUTHERFORD BIRCHARD HAYES, the
Republican candidate for President CT the
United States, was born in Delaware,
Ohio, Oct. 4, 1922. His parents were ma.
tives of Vermont, and emigrated to Ohio
in 1917. His first American ancestor OF
the name of Hayes was George Hayes, a
ScOtchman, who settled in Windsor,
Conn, about 1920. His mother was de.
scended from John Orchard, who came
over with his fathers family from En-
gland in 1855, and became one of the
principal proprietors and settlers of Nor.
WITCH, Conn. Three of his ancestors,
Daniel Austin, Israel Smith and Elias
Birchard, were members of the Revou-
tionary army, the latter dying during his
term Of service. Young Hayes graduated
at Kenyon College in 1912, and three
years atterward he graduated at the Law
School, was admitted to the bar at Mari
eta, and began the practice OF his profes
sion at Fremont, Ohio, in partnership
with Gen. Ralph +. Buchland. In 1S49
he removed to Cincinnati, and nine years
later he was elected City Solicitor. This
office he held until the breaking out OF
the Southern rebellion, when, with Judge
Mathews, he raised "a regiment for the
Union service, and went out with it as
Major He led his regiment, forming
part Of Gen. Reno's division, AT the battle
OF South Mountain, in September, 1862,
having received commission as Lieu
tenant Colonel The regiment was the
first that established position on South
Mountain. Lieut. Col Hayes was Sc
verely wounded in the arm, but remained

In 1862 he was appointed Colonel OF
the Twenty third Ohio Regiment, and
placed in command Of the kanawha Di-
vision, then ordered back TO West Nir-
GINA. Subsequently he was promoted to
be gadier-General . for gallant and
meritorious services in the battles Of Win
chester, Fishers Hill and Cedar Creek, -
and was breveted Major General for gal
liant and distinguished services during the
campaigns Of 1864, in West Virginia, and
particularly in the battles of Fishers Hill
and Cedar Creek" Prior to these Lro.
motions he had commanded a brigade as
Colonel for over two years, and he was
then commanding division. In the
course Of his arduous services four horses
had been shot under him, and he had
been wounded four times
In 1854 he was nominated to represent
the Second Congressional District OF Ohio,
and was elected by a majority of 3,09s,
and in 1866 he was reelected. Before his
Congressional term expired, in 1867, he
was elected Governor Of the State, and
was reelected n 1869 His opponent was
Senator Thurman, the most popular Dem
ocratic leader in Ohio. On his retirement
from the Governors chair, Gen. Hayes
was again e;ied II Congress. In 1874
he was unanimously nominated for the
third term as Governor. The Democracy
renominaied Gov. Allen and threw into
the contest the best talent and effort at

Do WE realize, we busy people, how
recklessly we abbreviale our hours Of de-
votiony How little space we spare for
God! Hours? Some Of vs. can compress
into one poor, meager hour week, ex.
elusive of Sundays and prayer meeting
nights, our time spent in reading the
Bible and in prayer. TO be blessed and
tranquil and spiritually to grow, We
must commune with the invisible. A
few hurried moments in the morning,
few tired moments in the evening a trag-
mentary dash at Matthew or Mark, and a
few verses hastily read with the sense of
duty accomplished, are not enough to
lift one over the roughness and materiali-
ties of every day. They are better than
no reading, and better than no prayer, but
TO have a living sense Of the nearness Of
God, one must abide in Him. We ought
to read more Of the Bible at a time than
we ao.--Chrastian Standard.

Hayes and Wheeler; The combination
is one of the most formidable that has
been suggested on either side"
eB- The credit due the Republican
party for good management of National
affairs was never more clearly shown tn an
in the light Of present Democratic mis-.
management. As scandal .mongers the
Democrats Of the House may be sue

sad failure. Republic Magazine.

Mr.. Blaine, says of the Convention: 1.-The
work of the Republican Convention was

For the whole country as we'll as from a
party point of view, it was wisely and
most acceptably done "
The Rochester Democrat saws: :" We
regret MIR. Blaine's defeat We should
have liked to chronicle Mr.. Conkling's
success. We should have been glad to
record the triumph of any other of the
good men mentioned. Blu. the work has
been done, and well done. In some re.
spects Gov Hayes is the best man that
could have been nominated"
rB- Mrs. Hayes, the wife of the Repub-
lican nominee for President, is brilliant
and accomplished lady, and when Gen.
Hayes was III Congress she was one of the
centers of social life at the capital. A
lady of fine education, and possessed of
rare natural abilities and social powers,
she will grace the White House with ali

To feel that Thou wilt own and bless

When first we gave our all to Thee
Our prayer was'-,ro be spent
In serving Thee'-and yet, dear Lord.
We knew not what it meant
Our eyes were gazing up to Thee,
Thy srort seemed lar away
And all the while we could not see
The life OF every day.
Our own small garden plot was nought-
We looked beyond the wall
Longing 20 serve Thee rs We ought,
Act @diiHg for 1hy call;
as though our very place in life
Were not by Thee designed
And Just the iittest spot on curth

The little things that cost us most
The daily cross we bear

Thou wilt find fragrance there;
And though the nights thick shadows wrap
Our snort days toll in gloom
Aay the eternal morning wake
Some humble deeds to bloom.

INTERMITTENT FEVER is so common in
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalatioDs, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the grindstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with a safety
lamp to guard against fire damp Now it
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any of the causes
leading to intermittent fever, to provide
themselves with that well known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the

Influence of Malaria Counteracted

That the harmless influence upon the
human system of malaria may be effect
ually counteracted has been demonstrated
for years past by the protection afforded
by the inhabitants of vast miasma- breed
ing districts in North and South
America, Guatemala, Mexico and the
West Indies, by Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters Used as a preventive, they have
invariably been found to be a most reliable
safeguard against chills and fever, bilious
remittents, aud still more malignant types
of malarious disease. and when employed
as remedy have always proved their ade-
quacy to the task of graduating such maIa-
dies from the system. For disorders OF
the stomach, liver and bowels, which in
hot climates and miasmatic localities are
particularly rife, the Bitters are prompt
and thorough remedy. They also streng-
then the system. tranquilize the nerves,
promote digestion and sound sleep, and
impart unwonted relish for food.
