The editor of the MarshalltOwn,
Iowa. Statesman says that, after con-
sidering the question all winter he
comes to the conclusion every spring
that the circus Is immoral; but then
the bill-poster comes along with big
pictures, and his mind changes as
follows: As we gaze at the lions,
tigers and monkeys, and think that
nature made all OF them, we are not
SO sure. And when we look at the
beautiful young lady, with nothing
on but blue ribbon round her waist,
pointing with one foot to six O'clock.
and the other to high noon. and
think that nature made her, too. just
as shs was, except the blue ribbon,
we begin to look up to the circus.
But when the brass band begins to
play. and the elephants go round. we

Not for Daniel.
TAlhiOn New Era


Daniel w. Voorhees, may be "sil-
very-tongued orator." but his "silvery
tongue" first warbled in praise OF the
the accursed institution of human
slavery which disgraced the annals
OF this country for nearly a century.
His "silvery tongue" was used to fas-
ten upon the free territory OF the west
this blighting curse; and when this
hydra headed monster attempted by
civil war to blot out our free institu-
ton, and make this a nation of
slaves, his "silvery. tongue" was only
heard In advocacy OF those who were
striking at the life of the nation. 1t
was his "silvery tongue" from which
fell the utterance that II will never
vote one dollar. one man. or one gun
to the administration OF Abraham
Lincoln to make war upon the south. :"
1t was his "silvery tongue" that en-
unciated state rights doctrine similar
to that for which Andrew Jackson
threatened to hang John G. Calhoun.
1t was his "silvery tongue"
that opposed the thirteenth,
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
to the constitution OF the
United States; that said, IL respecta-
BILE people Of Sullivan county are to
be believed, that Union soldiers
should wear collar upon which was
inscribed my Dog.-A. Lincoln" 1t
was his "silvery tongue" which voted
against the first issue Of greenbacks;
his "silvery tongue" warbled FAYE"
on the vote to issue bonds OF the
government provided they are made
on-taxable, also from the land grab
to the northern pacific railroad, and
it is now his "silvery tongue" from
which well-rounded sentences drop
In praise of the greenback, in denun-
citation of the bonds and bondholders,
and in praise OF the government
which he did all he could with his
"silvery tongue" only to destroy. We
love patriot and a pure minded
statesman, but our Democratic
friends must excuse us for not join
ing in the laudation Of Daniel w.
Voorhees, which is INDUCED In by so
many OF their journals just now. We
despise a demagogue, and in that
category we are compelled to class
this "silvery tongued" aspirant to
further senatorial donors.

Most of US fritter away a great
deal OF time. We are uasteiul OF the
minutes when we are wastefui Of
nothing else. Nothing 10 easier than
to fritter away time In matters OF no
use to ourselves or anyone else. The
habit Is readily formed. 1t grows up
on one unawares. Keep a strict ac-
count OF every hour Of your time for
q single week, setting down correct
Iy the exact manner In which every
hour Is spent. and see whether
when you come to review the record,
you do no find II full OF admonitIon
and instruction. In thissfmple way one
can readily understand the secret OF
this want of time. He will discover
that he has given hours to Idle talk.
to Incidence, and to considerable tri-
fes, which have yielded him neither
profit nor pleasure. What Is the
remedy? Arrange your work in the
order Of its comparative Importance.
Attend first to the things which are
essential to be done, and let the un-
essentials take their chance after
ward. The difference In the amount
of work accomplished will be aston
ishing Duty before pleasure. Those
who practice this precept have plen-
ty OF time for pleasure, and enjoy far
greater satisfaction than those who
reverse this rule. For there Is great
satisfaction to be obtained IN the sim
pie performances OF ones duty.

The phrase up salt River" ap-
piled to defeated politicians, took its
origin from a stream called Salt Riv-
er, in Kentucky, which is famed for
it's tortuous course and the abun-
dance of its shoals and bars, The
difficulty in rowing a boat up this
stream became synonymous with the
difficulties of defeated candidates in
reaching oblivion.
The phrase eating crow" Is said
to have originated in the war OF 1912,
when a citizen caught two soldiers
stealing his chickens. He agreed to
release them on the condition that
they would eat a boiled crow, to
which they assented, The matter
having become public, the officers
asked one OF the men how he liked
boiled crow, he replied that while he
could eat it, it was not a dish he
hankered after.

The Wonders OF a Well.

A man named Neff, near Alexan-
dria, Huntingdon county, Pennsylva-
mia, made a remarkable discovery a
few days ago. Having gone to his
well for a drink, he was surprised
that no water was forthcoming, and
his curiosity having been excited, he
descended the well to find the bot
tom out and a cool breeze blowing
upward, enough to cause q rustling
among the leaves on a tree on the
outside. Mr.. Neff then adjusted a
lantern to a rope 100 feet long and
let it down the cavern. AS the fire
had not been extinguished he con-
cluded that the air was pure. He
then secureda rope 800 feet long, and
fastened to one end of it a basket
containing lantern, dog and cat, and
slowly let them down. Bottom was
touched at 291 feet. and at the end of
six hours the basket contents were
drawn up to the surface. The lam
tern was still burning, and the ami
mails gave no evidence OF suffering
except OF chilliness. The next day
the owner Of the disappeared well,
accompanied by a friend, descended
to the bottem, and discovered a
cave extending for miles in different
directions. Stalagmites and stalca-
titles were numerous, and at intervals
small streams OF water ran over stony
beds. Many bats huttered through
the cavern, and petrifled sea shells
abounded. A vein of nickel ore was
also discovered, samples of which
have been analysed and found to be
superior to the nickel OF either Lam
cester, Pa, or Germany, the only
places where the metal is mined.

melt and vanish away; but il you

hands, nor lay them too close TO your
heart, they will abide the longer with
you.

Prescriptions for Fits.

For fit OF passion. Walk out in
the open air. You may speak your
mind to the winds without hurting
any one, or proclaiming yourself to
be a simpleton. BE not hasty in
thy spirit to be angry, for anger rest
eth In the bosom OF FOOLS"
For a fit OF idleness. Count the
tickings OF a clock. Do this for one
hour, and you will be glad to pull of
your coat the next and work like a
a man. ~Slothfulness casteth into a
deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suf-
fer hunger"
For fit OF extravaganza and folly.
Go to the workhouse, or speak With
the ragged and wretched inmates Of
Jail, and you will be convinced
who makes his bread OF brisr and thorn
Must be content to lie forlorn.-
Wherefore do ye spend money for
that which is not bread? and your
labor for that which satisfieth- not?"
For a fit OF ambition. Go to the
churchyard and read the gravestones.
They will tell you the end OF man at
his best estate. "For what Is your
life? 1t is even a vapor that ap-
peareth for a little time and then
vanisheth away" Pride goeth be-
fore destruction and naughty spirit
before fall"
For fit OF repining. Look about
for the halt and the blind, and the
bed-ridden, the afflicted, and the de-
ranged; and they will make you
ashamed of complaining Of your
light Affections. Wherefore doth a
living man complaint"
For a fit Of envy. Go and see how
many who keep their carriages are
afflicted with rheumatism, govt. and
dropsy: how many walk abroad on
crutches or stay at home wrapped up
in a flannel; and how many are sub
ject to epilepsy and appoplexy. a
sound heart is the life of the flesh.
Envy Is the rotteness OF the bones.

Heaven.

Beyond these chilling winds and gloomy skies,
Beyond deaths cloudy portal.
There is a land where beauty never dies,
And love becomes immortal.
A land whose light is never dmmed by shade,
Whose fields ever vernal,
Where nothing beautiful can ever fade,
And blooms for aye-eternal.
We may not know how sweet its balmy air,
How bright and fair its flowers,
We may not hear the songs that echo there
Through these enchanted bowers.
The cities shining towers we may not see,
With our dim earthly vision.
For Death, the silent warier keeps the key,
That opens the gate elysian.
But sometimes, where adown the western sky,
Her fiery sunset fingers,
Its golden gates swing inward noiselessy,
Unlocked by unseen fingers.
And while they stand moment half ajar,
Cleans from the inner glory
Stream brightly through the azure vault affair,
And half reveal the story.
Oh land unknowni Oh, land of love divine,
Father, all-wise, eternal
Guide, guide these wandering wayward feet of min
Into those pastures vernal.
