"When you find q man writing

Pay for your home paper first.
Then if you have any money to

others. It is hardly the fair
thing to read your home paper

for those published abroad. 1t
is both unwise and unjust. A
dollar spent at home gives zen
couragement to home enter

The POWER OF THE BIBLE.-The
chief duty of Professionalism is with the
Scriptures. 1t is clearly to declare and
publish them abroad. The Bible does
not need any defense, so much as it needs
proclamation. 1t defends itself wherever
it is known. Deep in every Soul there
dwells forever a witness to the truth,
whose clear eye and steady voice will see
and respond to it wherever it is known.
We do net need to implore men to be-
lieve the truth. We only need that they
shall apprehend it, and then We may
defy them to deny it. And thus the
Bible, as eternal truth, needs no other
argument for its support than itself clear
ly preached.
There are defenders of the truth who
think it otherwise. They treat the Bible
as weakly infant, which must be boil
stored up and carefully sustained, lest it
lall. And SO they bring together their
learning and philosophy, their human rea-
soning and research, which they use as
proof to keep the Bible up, trembling all
the while lest one of these should fail,
and the truth, unsupported, sink to its
hurt. But the Bible disdains all these
appliances. 1t is no weakly infant. 1t
has more than a giants strength, and
cannot only stand unaided, but can walk
forth alone conq1ering and to conquer

Secrets.
January, 1877.

The moment the girl has secret from
her mother, or has received a letter she
dare not let her mother read, or has a
friend OF whom her mother does not
know, she is in certain danger. A secret
is nc ia good thing for girl to have. The
fewer secrets that lie in the hearts of
women at any age, the better. 1t is al
most test of purity. She who has none
of her own is best and happiest. In girl
hood, hide nothing from your mother
do nothing that, if discovered by your
father, would make you blush.
When you are married, never, never
conceal anything from your husband.
Never allow yourself to write letter
that he may not know all about, or to
receive one that you are not quite willing
that he should read. Have no mysteries
whatever. Tell those who are about you
where you go and what you do.
Those who have the right to know,
we mean, of course. A little seeretive-
ness has set many scandal afoat and
much as is said about women who tell
too much, they are much better off than
women who tell too little.
A man may be reticent and lie under
no suspicion not SO woman The girl
who frankly says to her mother. II have
been there. met so and so. Such and
such remarks were made, and this or that
was done, will be certain of receiving
good advice and sympathy. If all was
right, no fault will be found with her.
If the mother knows out of her great ex-
perience that something was improper,
or unsuitable, she will, if she is good
mother, kindly advise against irs repeti-'
ton. 1t is only when mothers discover
that their girls are hiding things from
them that they rebuke or scold
innocent faults are always pardoned
by kind parent. You may not know.
just what is right-just what is what is
wrong, yet. You can't be blamed for
making little mistakes, but you will never
do anything very wrong if from the first
you have no secrets from your mother.

Hard Questions.

The journal which asks the following
questions in reference to the Presidential
election is Republican journal. We
would like to see them answered:
"We should like to have the opinion OF
any Republican organ on these two points
First, whether the Hayes electors from Lou
isiana have been appointed in such manner
as the Legislature thereof has directed,
when the returning board was an illegal
body, and continually violated the law ::
second, whether the votes of electors NOT
legally appointed are to be accepted withou
anybody except President Ferry having a
word in the matter. A third gu, stiop
which might be asked, concerns citizen of
Ohio more intimately than anybody else.
1t is whether Gov. Hayes will accept the
Presidency at the hands of electors not le-
gally appointod."-Springfield Massachu-
sets Republican.

The name Central seems to be an un-
lucky one for railroads. The Vermont
Central went into the hands of receiver
long ago. The New Jersey Central is in
danger OF the same fate The Michigan
Central has paid no dividends for four years
The Illinois Central divided only two per
cent. for the last six months The
Florida Central is soon to be sold out by
the State of Florida. The Great New York
Central alone remains unframed, but its
head is gone, and there is no telling what
will happen to it. ". Y. Sun.
And the Sun might have added the
Mississippi Central which is in the
hands of Receiver and will be soon
swallowed up by another Central" but
we have faith that it will come out all
right.

OUR news columns contain daily re-
ports of the contest for United States
Senators in the spurious (RadicalD Lou
isiana Legislature. One of the objects
of the returning board viliianies was to
secure the election and admission of Sen
ators who would keep up the Republican
majority in the United States Senate,
and would come to the aid of Morton,
Boutwell, q Co. in their scheme to bull
dose Mississippi and prevent her Senator
elect, Col Lamar, from taking his seat
1t is to be hoped there is enough honesty
among the Republican Senators to thwart
the scheme of the conspirators by pre-.
venting the admission of bogus Senators
from either Louisiana or South Caro- lima.

The removal of ordnance stores from
the Southern arsenals to those in the
Northern States continues. 1t is under.
stood that the military authorities have
orders to transfer 100000 pounds of
ordnance and ordnance stores from Baton
Rouge, La, to New York, including 400
barrels of powder, guns, shot, shell, etc.
From this it would appear that the ghost
of the rebellion" is haunting the AID,
ministration. 1t need have no fears OF
Southern resistance to the threatened
revolution of its partisans to obtain I'm.
lawful possession of the government, ex
cept, to back up the friends of the Con
stitution and the laws in the Northern
States. The South will lead no move
ment against the usurpers. She will
follow.

A CHRISTIAN work of art of the fourth
century has recently been added to the
museum of the Vatican Library. 1t is
portion of glass taxa, decorated with
painted figures representing the baptism
of child, who is placed under vessel,
from which streams of water ISSUE. The
mystic dove, with outspread wings and
olive-branch in its beak, deseends upon
the head of the child. A figure on the
right of the child, dressed in tunic. pal
lium, and girdle, acts as the officiating
priest, his name, Mirax," being placed
upon his neck. Near the child's head
also is the word "Alba," probably indi-
eating the name. This taxa was prob
ably an offering from relations or friends
on the occasion of the baptism of child
in early Christian times.

A BUREAU OF STATIsTICs.-Ho
Jas. Hill, Secretary of State, in his
annual report to the Legislature, now
being printed, recommends the establish
ment of Bureau of Statistics, in con-
nection with the office of the Secretary
of State. 1t is clear that it ought to
be made the duty of some department
of the State Government to compile an
nually for public information and future
reference, the population, elections,
financial, educational, agricultural, man,
ufaeturing, etc., etc. Such an annual
compilation would be of great public use,
and the recommendation of the Secre.
tary of State is a move in the right di
rection.l

This is the way the Radical partisans
put the case. The only truth contained
liz the above paragraph is that the Re-
publcans once held control of the State
government. The balance is all gam
mon. The State was not prosperous.
There was constant strife between the
races because the blacks were taught by
their would-be leaders that the resident
whites were their implacable foes and
that ''to get even" with them they must
keep up an unrelenting warfare. No
land can be prosperous in which internal
strife, like consuming fever, feeds upon
its vitals. Taxation" so far from being

proof that it was heavy, it is onl y neces-
