largely upon the labor question, favosipg
eight hours for a days work and depreci-
atIng the employment of children in Iacto-
ries Other speeches followed, but were in
terrupted frequently, and unpleasant ex-
pressions were exchanged. +. p. Devices,
Chairman of the State Central Corr mittee,
read a more conservative platform than
that read the night before, and it vas loudly
che, red. Emerson, Of Beaver, moved that
it be adopted, when there were loud cries of
+. w gag laws" Hold on" The dele
gal. irnm fayette alluded to the mob of
Luz,rne, which brought forty delegates to
their feet.

strike out that portion Of the platform pro-
voked tbs liveli$st discussion between the
labor and grecnback elements, and the
SPEECHES all siiuded to 'the two elements in

nesday night last, in the Methodist E Episcopal
Church, at Lei.her's Ford, Indiana, is regard
ed by many people III that State as direct
interposition of Divine Providence for the
punishment of the scoffer. A revival had
been in progress in the church for two
weeks. Elias Bdinger, married man,
about twenty-five years of age, and Robert
King had been disturbing the meetings by
making sport of those who led services. On
Wednesday night, about seventy-Gve persons
we're present. During the exercises, Bdinger
and King began to create disturbance. Mr..
Jones, the minister, went to expostulate with
them, laid his hand upon Bidingers shoulder
and urged him to change his way Of life.
Bidinger replied with an oath that he would
never change his ways. A few moments af-
terward, while Michael Shade, a member of
the congregation, was leading in prayer,
lightning flashed into the church, extinguish-
ed all the lights, killed Bidiuger and prostra-
ted King upon the floor. King, as soon as
he returned to Consciousness, called upon the
spectators to pray for him, declaring himself
converted. The occurrence resulted in swell.

salvation into that church.

A BITE.-Iu the western section of this
county, there resides an elderly farmer who is
passionately fond of sport especially fishing
and huntiDg-and he has son who is chip
of the old block in that as well as in other re-
spects.
One day last summer, the old gentleman
left home, but before going set his boy at
a lob he was anxious to have done. Return
ing sooner than he was expected, he found
that the boy was missing.
"Where's Tom ?" he growled, as he entered
the kitchen.
"Gone 6shing," said the girl.
Fishing the rascal ; I'll fish him when I
catch him."
And away the angry old fellow went for the
brook. Coming within hailing distance of his
hopeful son, who was bending eagerly over the
stream, the father yelled:
"Tom! you scoundrel, Tom!'
There was deprecating movement Of one
hand on the part of the boy, who did not,
however, turn his head. Still more angry the
avenging parent came nearer and bawled
out
"Ill learn you to stay home and work
when"
Ssh! Sh! Sh! father" said young Isaac
Walton. "I've got bite"
The old fellows passion perceptibly cooled
at that announcement, and, luck for the boy,
the latter just then hauled up handsome
perch. This was too much for the dad, who
sprang forward and helped unhook the fish,
and then
"Tom, have you got another hook ?"
Victory perched on the boys fish line.

A COOP WITNEss.-The plaintiff, in case
before recent term Of the District Court, was
somewhat disturbed on learning that a GER
tain individual, whose reputation for veracity
was none the best, was to be witness for the
defendant. The fellows capacity for false
swearing was notorious. and, unless his integ-
rity was shaken, the plaintiffs case was a
"gone goose" He hied himself to brother
litigant, and asked him if he would believe the
witness under oath.
"No," was the reply, "you know he lisa liar?"
"Yes"

"Well, I want you to 60 on the stand and
swear to your belief
The friends countenance became troubled,
and he replied:
"My dear fellow, would do you almost
any favor, but, you see, have got him EN-:
ployed as witness for myself next week, and
I can't afford to impeach his veracity.
The plaintiff sought testimony elsewhere
and the false swearer got his price from both
parties.

THE LOST CAUSE.

The following lines were composed in 1866
being suggested by an epitaph written by thu
authoress, at the request Of lady Of Mem
phis, Tennessee, and placed in the cemetery
of that place, over the remains Of one of oul
fallen braves Although time has obliteratec
many of the features of that sad epoch, still
from the innermost recesses of the hearts O
those who passed through the ordeal, comes {
responsive thrill at the mention of our ''Los
Cause "-Fairfeld Herald.
"THE BANNER OF THE BARS"
BY MRS. CLARA DARGAN MLEAN.
Aloft it streamed DER hill and dale,
Ger river, lake and plain
1t waved above ten thousand braves
Amidst the leaden rain,
At masthead 1oated wild and free,
Beneath the midnight stars,
And morning broke upon it there
"The Banner of the Bars!'
How wildly beat each Southern heart!
How fond each maiden vow!
All silent are those burning breasts,
And hushed those voices now.
Yet victory weeps her dear bought prize,
Nostain its honor mars;
Lay it away with tears embalmed-
"The Banner OF the Bars"
Low in the dust itS folds must lie,
And draped in deepest woe,
But who shall dare to mock it there,
To taunt a fallen foe?
AS woman turns to him she loves,
loved better for his scars)
We now adore with tenderer pride
"The Banner of the Bars"
The epitaph runs thus: Beneath this slab re-
poses the mortal body of Confederate Soldier.
Pause here! And while you drop tear TO hi
memory, sigh also for the Lost Cause to which
he gave his life."

BUDDING RosEs.-This is simple process
by which amateur cultivators can increase
their stock A sharp penknifs can do duty
for a budding knife, and the handle of tooth
brush, if ground down smooth, will answer
for spund to aid in lifting the bark. From
the last of June to the last of August. is the
best time for this process, as the bark can
then be more easily raised from the wood.
Take smooth stalk and make a horizontal
cut across the bark, through to the wood, but
not into it. From the centre of this crosscut
make another cut straight down the stem, an
inch or more in length. These two cuts will
resemble T. Slide off the bud you desire
to propagate with one cut of the spenknfe, cut
ting it close to the main stalk. Now with the
edge of the spund turn back the bark on each
side of the straight cut and insert the bud on
the wood of the branch to be budded, fitting
it tightly to the crossed cut. With bit of
soft yarn, bind down the bark, leaving the
point of the bud exposed. A handful of dam
pened moss must then be bound round the stem,
taking care to leave the tiny point Of the bud
exposed to the air. In six weeks the rappngs
may be removed, but all other shoots must be
kept from growing on the budded branch.
By this means rose bush can be made to
bear a half dozen different colured roses.

substantial subscribers, in recent conversa-
ton, gave his experience in treating neat
stock affected with the habit of eating wood,
chewing bones, etc. His cattle we're one
spring affected in this way; they became thin
in flesh, refused to eat hay, and presented a
sickly appearance. He put about four bush.
els of leached ashes in his barnyard, and
threw it out to them, about shovelful each
day. They all ate it as if with evident rel
ish. After turning them out to pasture, he
put one peck of dry ashes per week on the
ground in the pasture. They ate it all up
and gnawed off the grass where it had been
lying The cattle began to improve, gaining
flesh and looking better than they had for
several years. He now gives one quart of
ashes, mixed with the same quantity of salt,
to twelve head of cattle, about once week,
and finds it to agree with them wonderfully.

school, recently went to the teacher with tears
in his eyes, and said that his mother was dead
and that he couldn't stay in school. Of
course the teacher told him to 90 at once, but
just as he was leaving the room she asked
him when his mother died. "She died four
years ago, ma'am," was the young urchin's
reply. The teacher let him 60, however, as
a reward for his ingenuity.
