cred the corner of q trunk sticking
out Of the earth. They opened the
trunk and found the body Of man
inside covered with o white wooden
blanket; there were also some other
articles in the trunk, including two
guns. From the manner in which
the body and the other articles were
disposed in the trunk, the belief
was entertained that the prospectors
had simply unearthed the remains
of some poor siwash. who had but
recently departed for the happy
hunting grounds. Two men went
ont to the place to-day, but failed
to discover the corpse.

A letter to the Indianapolis
Herald from Covington, Ky, re,
lates the following incident:
"Here in our own little town we
have had a sad and truthful illus
tration of woman's injustice to
her sex. A man who held a
deputy county Office married a
woman of bad rcpute and brought
her here. The wife during the
the four years she renamed
here lived q pure, good life,
striving amid difficulties to
show to the world that she want
ed to lead a different life than
the one she had left. She was
never known to thrust herself in
any ones path, never even speak
ing to any person; always kind,
gentle and modest, And not one
woman in the town ever went
near her; not one of the many
Christians said to her we or l
will help you, but left her alone
to her sorrow and temptations,
and l trust Christ may have
found her wherever she may be.

The National Republican OF Washing
ton, d. c., published within three blocks
of the White House, came out last week
in terrific editorial on Hayes and bis
Administration, charging him with TAIL
ure, weakness, treachery and ingratitude
of the most stupendous character. After
reading this editorial besides which the
most savage attack of the Sunday Journ-
al seems like ethereal mildness diluted,
we wonder where we are drifting. The
National Republican speaks from the
heart of the great Republican party. and
reflects the opinion of its voters. We
have been somewhat abused because we
took the correct gauge of the White
House apostate early and nerved ourself
to the task of exposing his frauds and
shams. Now that we are in thorough
.ympathy and accord with the masses oil
the party, we feel like saying further, that
the sooner the Republican party cuts
loose from r. B. Hayes the better. If he
il not a political knave he is a political
ass for no man with a minimum Of pollt
ical sagacty could. in inanity, see his
party disintegratlng and drifting to ruin,
without making. at least, an effort TO save
n. by retracing his false steps. III Hayes

diately recognize the claims of the great
! leaders of the party, the men trained to
lead and command Mr.. Hayes should
Immediately reorganize his Cabinet and

A Three-Year Old Drunkard.

Officer Blanchard saw a man, who was
evidently under the influence OF liquor,
leading a little year old boy by the band
through Newark-avenue, Jersey City,
Tuesday night. He arrested the man,
and at the Police Station it was discover
ed that the boy was also under the intiu-
ence OF liquor. The man, who gave his
name as Joseph Rossi, OF Mulberry street,
New York, said that the boy was his son I;
that they had been to see friend, ana
that he and his toddling child had drank
considerable whisky. The man was sent
to cell, and q bed was prepared for
the boy. In the morning. when the coup.
le were taken into Justice Davis court,
the boy asked for a drink. Water was
offered him, but he refused it, and clam
ored for a stronger liquid. Rossi was
fined s., which he paid, and then, with
the boy, he left the court room.

Were there no night we could not read the
stars,
The heavens would turn into binding
glare;
Freedom IL best seen through the prison-bars,
And rough seas make the haven passing fair.
We cannot measure joys but by their loss.
When blessings fade away we see them then;
Our richest clusters grow around the cross,
And in the nighttime angels sing TO men.
The seed must first lie buried deep In earth,
Before the lilly opens TO the sky
SO 'light Is sown," aud gladness has It's birth
In the dark deeps where we can only cry.
"Iife out of death" is Heavens unwrltten law
Nay, it In written m a myriad forms;
The victor's palm grows on the nelds OF war;
Aud strength and beauty are the frult ol
storms.
Come, then, my SOUL be brave to do and bear
Thy life IN bruised that IL may be more sweet
The cross will soon be lett, the crown Wei
wear
ftNay, we will cast It at our savior's feet.
And up among the glories never told,
Sweeter than music of the marriage-bell,
Our hands will strike the vibrant harp OF gold
To the glad song He doeth all things WELL"
Henry Burton.
