gentle words, sweet laughter, and name
hand and heart. such amenities and af-
fections should be the sunshine of every
home. They refresh and purify the
social circle. Like the clinging vine,
they twine themselves around the heart,
calling forth its purest emotions. Such
home is worthy the name, ordinance
of God. Such life is worthy future
life. Such home will help prepare us
for home hereafter.
Then let me say to the parents here:
Make the home-life beautiful, without
and within, and they will SOW the seeds
of gentleness, true kindness, honesty,
and fidelity in the hearts of their chill
dren, from which the children reap a
harvest of happiness and virtue. The
memory of the beautiful and happy
home OF childhood is the richest legacy
any man can leave to his children. The
heart will never forget its hallowed in
fuences. 1t will be an evening enjoy
ment, to which the lapse of years will
only add new sweetness. Such home
is constant inspiration for good and as
constant restraint from evil. Such at
fractions and enjoyments will invest
home-life, school-life, the whole future
of life with new interests and with new
dignity and joyousness, for life is just
what we make it. We may by our blind
ness live in a world of darkness and
gloom, or in world full of sunlight and
beauty and Joy; for the world without
only reflects the world within. Also
the tasteful improvement of grounds
and home exerts a good influence not
only upon the inmates, but upon the
community. An elegant dwelling, sur
rounded by sylvan attractions, is con-
tribution to the refinement, the good
order, the taste and prosperity of every
community, improving the public taste

We to-day, by authority. announce
j. Ii. Fitch. OF Elko. and john VIII

before the Democratic Convention for
the Office Of Sheriff. Both gentlemen
having been residents Of tie county
since its organization. and each having
been prominently before The people for

di;ional Fight upon the respective merits
Of The candidates. would prove super
huous. The candidate who can pass
through the ordeal Of a political cam
paign AMI escape more greyious charges
than that of rubbins h~en.roosts or
grave yards, is an angel in white. so to
speak, and as these gentlemen have
both run The gauntlet Oi calumny aud
detEacaon and still retain their self
respec; together with that of the com.
munity at large, it is perfectly safe to
conclude that in the event of either be.
ing nominated and elected, the duties
of the Office would DO ably and justly

The name Of SIR. Charles Brossmer,
OF Tuscarora, also appears in this issue
as Il candidate for Sheriff. subject to

veutiOu.
