Now, Really.

The Boston journal takes needless pains
doughface papers in the country that are
almost as spiteiul towards Senator Blaine
as itself and the poor, mushy Advertiser
WHY we never claimed tina, MI the IDIOTS
print newspapers in Boston, although we
think that outsiders would stand a hard
show in competition. But to an ob-erv-
er from any other possible standpoint
than Beacon Hill. it would certainly seem
amusing To hear talk about the di,com-
future Of Senator Blaine in the debate over
Schurzs stupid raids upon the fuel OF
settlers 10 the Territories, when the rec
ord shows that the justice Of Mr. h aine'-
position was almost unanimously con
ceded in the Senate. and that the very
measure advocated by him was adopted
by vote of AZ TO 4, the Senators from
Massachusetts indorsing his proposition
by their votes The journal has hunted
up for consolidation scrap from some fe-
male reporter who probably failed OF an
invitation to some of Mrs. Baine's receD.
tons, in which the said female writer crit.
icises Mr.. Blaine and quotes some dem
ocratic Senator as saying that in the de-
bate Hoar had Blaine at his mercy and
Just peeled him" Ye gods Think oi

They would sit up nights for the specta.
Gle and extra trains would be sure OF full
patronage to witness the performance.
No wonder the journal, with keen re-
membrane of the recent damage sus
tanned by two Massachusetts, Senators who
undertook to peel Blaine" puts its quo
tation into very small type, as if ashamed
TO have many people see it. We hop,

The WEEK OF PRArER.-Last week
was observed as a week of special
prayer by evangelical churches
throughout the world. 1t is Gus
tom which originated some years ago
by an arrangement of the Evangelical
Alliance. A decidedly good result
followed the first observance, especial
" in reference to the mission work Of
the churches; and by general consent
the same plan has since been adopted
at the commencement of every new
year. The observance of such Gus
tom is at once appropriate and useful.
The social effects of the observance
cannot be otherwise than beneficial.
Without the most arrans hypocrisy,
men cannot pray to God for social
and religious reforms, whilst their
own hearts and lives are in antagon-
ism with the desires they express.

A R ACE FOR LIFE.


In the vicinity Of Arnettsville, not
many years ago, a party Of men, boys
and dogs went hunting. Not having
much success In catching game, they
concluded to have some sport. After
a short consultation they agreed to
visit mans hen-roost. Hence three
of them proceeded and each caught a
hen, and surrounding the house at
angles at some little distance, the
music began. Presently there was a
stir in the house, in moment the
front door opened, voice is heard,
Speaking to his wife) to say, "some-
thing has got an old hen," and away
he goes calling for his neighbours
dog (for he had none. The hen
ceases to squall, presently it begins
again, away goes the farmer. Ar
irving near the place, as he thought,
the old hen began again at consider
able distance to the left, close to the
same place he had first heard it. Be
ginning to be little frightened, this
time he ran with all his might, hav-
ing down Hill to run and being ac-
quainted with the ground he soon
came near the squalling hen. Think
ing he was sure of ''the varmint," as
it was in brush heap. He called
with all his might for the dog, but no
dog came. Feeling around for club,
going up cautiously to get "good
chance" ''the varmint" instantly
sprang to its feet and threw up both
arms. The farmer being frightened
wheeled to run, but stumbled and fell
headlong over something. This still
frightened him worse and he jumped
to his feet and made for the house as
fast and probably faster than ever be
fore. just as he got into the yard he
run over the same thing again. hit It

cate of Incorporation has been Only
signed and admitted to record in this
and Taylor counties for the Pitts
burgh, West Virginia and Southern
Railroad Company. We understand
that the necessary amount of money
has been subscribed at Mt. Morris
and between that and Pittsburgh to
complete the road to the West Vir-
ginia line, and it is only necessary
for the citizens of Morgantown and
vicinity to subscribe enough to build
the twelve miles from the West Vir-
ginia line to Morgantown, and will
hear the whsle of the locomotive at
our place, the denial of all old fogies
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
This is the first chance that we have
ever had of getting a railroad and
our people should go to work in earn
est and not allow the enterprise to die
natural death. Pittsburgh Is de-
termined to have a railroad running
to the South and she is now seeking
to construct such road by way of
Morgantown. 1t win be almost Grim
inal on the part of our citizens if they
neglect or refuse to raise the money
to bring this road to Morgantown. If
the opportunity is not used now some
more enterprising people will induce
the company to construct the road by
some other route. To our old sub
stantial farmers we say, wake from
the sleep of inactivity that has so
long choked your enterprise. Make
one effort to exert your latent cher-
gies and your efforts will be crowned
with success. Do not let this oppor-
tunity pass; you will never have such
another "

The letter of which the subjoincd
is an exact extract was written to
Professor Macbeth by the Rev. S. V.
Leech, Of Baltimore, ono Of the ablest
ministers of the Methodist church, a
gentleman whom the Professor never
met and whose verdict is therefore
altogether~unbiased. The Poem con
sists ofprccisely 1900 lines; its main
object to construct an entirely new
argument for christianity. 1t was
composed from July to October last
"The conception of the plan of this
composition evinces both genius and
culture. Throughout the entire ar
gument, or rather series of argu-
ments, are rich veins of theological
thought, which you have happily
opened for the thoughtful reader:
and the thirty thoughts thus embod-
led in verse are thickly sprinkled with
important scriptural truths, beauti-
fully framed in striking metaphors
and impressive imagery.

document, after having read it per-
sonally, to two ladies of refined poetic
taste, and they were pleased with
