Blind love is moro than wrong, it is
wicked Such love is often but sensuous
passion. Pure love is intelligent love; it
is not sensual, but spiritual. It's fountain
is in the soul-not in the physical senses.
These may be proper avenues to its source
and agents to awaken its activities, but
Judgment based on informed reason, and
Christian conscience enlightened by the
higher law of moral obligation, should
guide and control human love in its choice
and committals, Heaven doesn't make all
the miserable matches, and is not to be
held responsible for all their wretched re-
suits. 1t warns its heirs against being un-
equally yoked together with unbelievers
and infidels. 1t cautions against blind
love as dangerous to concord in the home
and to the hope of Heaven.
Marriage is ordaiucd of God and honor
orable among men. Therefore it is not
by any to be entered into unaGvisedly or
lightly, but reyerontly, discreetly and in
the fear of God" God hath set the soli-
tary in families.
To be loved the wife must be lovable.
Woman should be companion-a help-
mate to man. Heaven will help every one
that loveth God with all the soul and
seeketh wisdom from on high to guide the
heart into its human love so that married
life shall prove an incalculable blessing
and source of strength by union of
hearts, and not"a mere joining of hands.
Intelligent, sanctifying love in mated
souls makes home haven of rest and n
heaven Off rejoicings. Blind love has often
turned to hate, and made many house
hold no home, but desert waste, howl |
ing wilderness and hell on earth. Man
had better never we'd than to make the
mistake of many. Woman had better die
IN "old maid" than to marry drunkard |
or dough head, rascal or rake.
Love should see with both eyes. Love
has no business to be blind.

Rhodope and SGomrus, by moderns Du-
pinshadagh. Fqrther west, on the South
ern frontier of Servia, it becomes the
Mount Orbelus of the ancients. Between
Servia and Albania, it is the Mons Scard-
us, or Kara dagh, and thence crosses Al
bania, terminating again with the sea,

average elevation of these mountains is
about 1000 feet. The highest peak n.

ODD FELLOWSHIP. - The Oakland
Transcript of the Goth ut., had an ex-
celIeat article on the origin and purposes
of Odd Fellowship. Odd Fellowship
was Instituted in the United States in
1919, and the progress the Order has
made in this country since that time is
s'.hothing truly marvellous. In the
United States ii numbers more than half
inlllion OF members, which number
would be doubled if the Order were as
well known and its principles as thorough
~ understood ig other States as in Cali
f'rna. Here we have at the present
time 2i2 lodges embracing a membership
Of over 10000. Originally there have
been 205 lodges established, of which
huaiber Is have surrendered their char
ters and gone out of existence. This
dissolution Of lodges was not, however,
IA consequence of any dislike to the Or
der or its workings. The lodges were
such ones as were located in mining
tIwnS, and when the mines failed and the
towns which had been built to minister
- the needs of the miners fell into decay,
the members of the local lodge scattered,
5nincd lodges in other places, and their
lodge shared the fate of the locality where
it was Instituted. An example of this
can be fonnd Ia our neighbor county of
Shasta. Clear Creek Lodge had at one
time hourishing membership. 1t was
located at Horsetown, at that timo the
second place in Shasta county. Horse
town to day does not number more than
twenty men for the whole precinct. The
Lodge, of course went down, but at
later day another one was instituted at
Ihty liIll, since removed to Igo City.
The Success of Odd Fellowship is due
to the fact that it is an institution exact
ly sui ed TO the wants OF the masses of the
pAoplc. As the Transcript well says ::
Its ritual teaches the highest principles
o virtue and morality; its system of pay
ing weekly benefits to all members who
are sick or in distress wns entirely oriei-
na'. Ia Other Societies aid may be given
TO those who need it; an Odd Fellow is
never thus minded of his poverty, for
the 'um allowed belongs to him." 1t is
all WED TO the wealthy and the poor
alike, when sickness overtakes a mem Der
his sc is acted upon in his absence, and
The procedure in all cases is alike.

A NOTABLE DEATH.-W. j. Brown
low, or Parson Brownlow, died at Knox
vile, Tennessee on Monday, after long
illness. Parson Brownlow was one of
the famous men of the nation. He scrv-
ed an apprenticeship to the carpenters
trade and then became a Methodist
preacher. Later in life he assumed edi-
torial control of the Knoxville JVhtq, and
was bitter opponent of Democracy. lie
was rabid pro-slavery, but when the
Democrats Of Tennessee undertook to
carry that State out of the Union, Brown
low became one Of the staunchest of I'm
ion men. East Tennessee voted against
secession, but secession carried and
Brownlow became a prescribed man.
No men were more loyal than the South
ern Unionists, and from East Tennessee
went forth a number of regiments of
mountaineers to do battle for the
Union. After the war had been
brought TO a successful termination, the
services of Brownlow were not forgotten.
He was twice Governor of that State, and
also served term Of six years in the
United States Senate. He was an inva-
lid for years before his death.

BRIGHAM YOUNG preached in the Tab
ernacle Sunday sermon iustifying the
Mountain Meadows massacre, on the
ground that the Gentiles had killed the
original Mormon Prophet, Joe Smith, and
had driven the Mormons from Missouri
and other States by force and arms. He
concluded by defying any power on earth
or in hell TO overthrow his Church, and
assured his hearers that the Mormons
would continue their practices and dot
the whole of Utah with their temples.
The vengeance of outraged law should
not be permitted to rest satisfied with the
execution Of John ID. Lee. Lee was only
n tool in the hands Of those smarter than
himself.

DEMOCRATIC PRAIsE.-The Northern
Democrats are patting Ben Wade, Wen
dell Phillips and other radical Republi-
cans on the back for kicking against
President Hayes Southern policy. 1t is
the Democratic hope to create such q
schism in Republican ranks as will pave
the way to Democratic triumph in the
nation in 1880. But their efforts will
be fruitless, for the masses of the Rcpub-
lican party will stand by the President in
his efforts to the settlement of the South
ern question until his policy is proved a
failure. Politicians may try to keep
active sectional issues, but when their
objects in so doing are understood. they
will be checkmated. We hope more than
we erp6ct from the new line adopted by
Mr.. Hayes, but it would be no part of
patriotism to throw obstacles in his way
to prevent it having fair trial.

Hirst nnIa Of CATION.

The arst bale Of the season Of le7f-Te
was sold yesterday at twelve cents per
pound by Thos. Il. Allen & Co. to Yer
o Rhodes. The bale classed as good
middling, wa strong staple, and weighed
598 pounds. The bale ought to have
brought more money, and it should have
been put up at public auction, christened
in champagne, ETC., as has been the Gus
tom, but it seems the custom has fallen
into disuse this season, and is honored
more in the breach than in the observ-
ance. The high price given for the first
bale acts as a premium, and it encour
ages cotton culture and that worthy
rivalry which is the life and soul of all
industries.

ing, and.was shipped to W. B. Galbreath
d Co. 1t was also sold at auction and
was purchased by Hugh Rose for Hobart

as low middliEg. The first Arkansas
bale came in on the same boat on the
same day as the second Mississippi bale.
