The Heart. .

Throb, throb, throb, never sleeping, but
often tired, loaded with care, chilled BY
despair, bleeding with wounds, often in
ficted by those who do not understand it,
or burdened with affection, it must beat on
for lifetime. Nothing finds lodgment
in its chambers that does not add to its
labors. Every thought that the mand gen.
crates steps npon the heart before it wings
its way into the outer world. The mem.
mory of the dead loved ones are mountains
Of weight upon its sensitiveness; the anx
ieties of the soul stream to the hea1t and
bank themselves upon it, as the early snow
drifts cover thei tender. plant; love if il
loves, fires it with feverish warmth. and
makes it the more sensitive; hate ifit hate
heats to desperation and fills 1t with con
ficts. Still il works on. When slumbel
closes the eye-lids, the heart is beating
beating beneath all ats burdens; it worl
while we sleep, it works while we play; i
aches when we laugh. Do not unnecessa
rily wound it; do not add to its bleeding
wounds. Speak kind word to cheer it
warm it when it is cold; encourage it whel
il despairs.-

THE TRAMP OF THE ARMY.

We are told, and by such authority as
to render it fully creditable, that certain
Districts in the South are to bc selected
for the tramp of the soldier of the cam
paign. Among those are named two in
Louisiana.
We are fully prepared to believe that
the Republicans of the North intend to
| use the army as Indicated and we warn
tho Democratic House to stand by their
clause in the appropriation bill, for if
they do not, bloodshed will result.
This may be startling to the timid, but
it's true, nevertheless. We, of the south,
arc free Americans OR we are nothing,
and VIC intend to assert that freedom
J from this time forward. In 1874, Grants
| cavalry raided down this section and ar
| rested innocent citizens by tho score, in
order to intimidate and drive them from
the polls. Let that raid be repeated ;
let Hayes dare send his cavalry Or his in
fantry on Il mission of such character to
this valley, and his military column will
go out faster than they came in.
This "tramp of the army will have Il
! uouDle meaning ncNG Iinlc anu bile amer
| icans of Louisiana will make the march
interesting, and warmly hospitabic to
such dragons as may tramp through
this way.
| If the Democrats of tho House desire
to avert collision between the citizcns
of the South and the soldiers ofthc army,
they had best stand hy that clause for
bidding their use as police.-Natchi-
| tochc; Tin1icatOr.

YOUR LOCAL PAPER:

your local minister does. It is read eacl
day and week from beginning to end. 1t

er spirit and less wisdom than a sermon
it has Thousand times better chance at
you. Lying, as it does, on every table
in allnost every house, youowe to your
selves to literally add to- it's support, and
exact from it as heightened a character
as you do from an educator i'll your midst.
It is in no sense beneath notice and care
for it is your representative. Indeed,
in its character, it is the sublimation of
the Importance, interest and welfare of
all. 1t is the aggregate of your own
consequence, and you cannot ignore it
without miserably depreciating yourself:

on trial for murder before the United

is charged with the murder Of another

Let Us Have q Library.

Idaho City has several societies
that are credit to the community,
but lacks library association. We
have talked with several of our citi-
zens on the subject and found them to
favor such an organization, but wait
for somebody else to start the thing
going. By paying small dues, in a
short time we could have a good
library, and in few years collection
of books much larger than we would
think at causual glance. The pro-
per way to get up the association is
for all those who take an interest in
such things to set time to meet and
organize, and all attend. when once
started there will be no trouble.
Agree upon some evening that will be
convenient, and we will gladly publish
the call for a meeting.
