GENTLE WORDS.

GENTLE WORDS.
word kindly spoken, how little it costs,
vet eternity alone may reveal how much 1t
has accomplished. 1t soothes the heart talnt
and weary with it's burden of anguish. How
u reviyes the dropping energies of sorrows
child. Gentle words they are the ''Peace,
he STILL" that calms many passion, allays
n,apv rude tempests of grief, gives silver
lining to the dark cloud o'ershadowing
dreary waste of life. An angry word; 1t is
little thing it rises to the lips and is easily
snoken. vet it falls heavily on the heart al
ready lacerated and bruised by rude contact
with the world. Itparts loved friends, turns
the beautiful forms of peace and joy to ashes,
hurls down the altar Of happiness, crushes
hope and love.
Woman, has your sister strayed from the
path of recttude; oh, seek with gentle, low
inc words to recall her. You know not
her temptation, nor how long and earnestly
she struggled ere she yielded to sin. Pass
over the dark part of ner life-story, and
think only of he1 as you knew her IN the
DAYS of her innocence. Do not with cold,
scorning words mock her misery, but with
gentle, womanly words endeayor to win her
from her downward course. You were once
her friend, be one still. Do not destroy the
little spark of womanhood left by making
her feel that she has lost her place among
all good women. Though that brow be
marked with sins indelible lines; though
the eyes that once met yours with pure
and innocent glance now quail before you IL
conscious guilt; still give her word OF en-
couragement. Who knows; her ransomed
sin-washed soul may sparkle the brightes
jewel in your crown of happiness. Thel
give gentle, loving words to all, and
''Let not harsh words mar
The good you may do here

GOLDEN SHEAvES.
Chase we still with bafaed feet,
Smiling eye and waving hand,
Sought and seeker soon shall meet,
Lost and found, in Sunset Land !

Mine men in ten are suicides.
Let your first, last, and best confident
be your mother.
None know the unfortunate and the
unfortunate do not know themselves.
Tell of your own faults, not Of those of
your brothers and sisters.
Never reserve your good manner fer
strangers, but be equally polite at home
and abroad.
He who is false to present duty breaks
thread in the loom, and will see the defect
when the weaving of lifetime Is unroled.
Would you be exempt from nneasiness,
do nothing that you know or suspect to be
wrong. Would you enjoy the purest pleas
sure, do everything in your power which
you are convinced is right.
How often Go we sigh for opportunities
of doing good, whilst we neglect the OPEN
ings of Providence In little things, which
would frequently lead to the accomplish
ment of most important usefulness. DR..
johnson used to say, "He who wills to do a
great deal of good at once will never do
any," Good is done by degrees. However
small in proportion the benefit which fol-
lows individual attemptseto do good, great
deal may thus be accomplished by persever-
ance, even in the midst of Encouragement
and disappointment.

JOSH BILLINGS, the dear old philosopher,
says: Thar IL 3 kinds of jokes-one makes
us laff before we hear 1t, one ,ohen we hear it,
and the other sum Time atterrOards. The last
one iz the best" The funniest joke we ever
heard in our lite, then, Is one that was told
us by Cincinnati drummer about man
falling out of a wagon. 1t was rather long,
and occupied a railway ride from Crestline
to Burlington in the relation. That was
three years ago. And we haven't laughed
| at it yet.

At last, Kate replied, s'Please, yer honor it's

The essential for cheerful room is sun
shine. Without this, money, labor, taste,
are all thrown away. A dark room cannot
be cheerful; and it is as unwholesome as it
is gloomy. Flowers will not blossom in it;
neither will people. Nobody knows, or ever
will know, how many men and women
have been killed by dark rooms. "Glority
the room, Glorify the room!" Sidney
Smith used to say of a morning, when he or
dered every Hind thrown open, every shade
drawn up to the top of the window: "Who-
ever is fortunate enough to have south
east or southwest corner room may, II she
chooses live in such floods of sunny light
that sickness will have hard work to get
hold of her +; and as for the blues, they will
not dare to so much as knock at her door,"

THE CIPHER DISPATCHES.
TIiden's Managers in Florida-Trial O
TiIden's Lawyer.

NEW YORK, October 8. The Tribune prints an
other batch of cipher dispatches, the translation
of which shows that the confidential agents of Mr.
rilden in Florida were Manton Marble, W.
W Obey and John +. Coyle; that these agents
went to Tallahassee with pre- arranged ciphers for
communication with the residence of MIR. Tilden ::
that they first lahored by lawful means to secure
for him the vote of that State and failed therein,
because the official returns gave majority for
Mr.. Hayes.
The CIPHER dispatches regarding the bribery of
member of the canvassng board, then passed
between Mr.. Illden's residence and his confden-
tial agents in Tallahassee. One proposition to
pay $500 900 for a member was held too high, be-
cause another despatch from different agent
promised cheaper bargain. Then by both agents
meeting, proposition was sent in seperate cipher
TO buy a member for $50 900.
The reply from Grsmercy Park was that the
proposition WAS accepted, II done only once, and
the agents were separately charged to consult
with each other in haste. 1t does not clearly ap
pear that the goods would have been delivered,
but the scheme fell through because four words
were dropped from the despatch authorizing the
purchase, thus making 1t unintegibe. Ii was
after some delay repeated from Gramercy Park,
in iutebible form, but received too late, and
The visiting statesmen so reported to Gramercy
Park.
A Detroit despatch says the examination of
Thomas Harland, the lawy er of Samuel j. Tilden,
charged with abstractng the books at Marquette,
Mich, began Saturday. Evidence OF the manner
of sbstracting them was given, which was the
same as heretofore printed. On Monday the tele-
graph operator gave cipher dispatches which had
been seat by Harand to Geo. w. Smith, Is Ora
mercy Park, n. Y and a cipher reply. The lat
ter was without signature.
l. McClosxy, Michigan, director of the mine,
testified the books were now in his custody also
that he las the key to the cipher despatch, but
fused to give it up, and he was arrested for con-
tempt Of court.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Two Trains Come Together on the OLD
Colony Railroad.
Ten Persons Killed Over One HUI. dred
Wounded.

BosroN October s, There was an accident on
the Old Colony Railroad between Atlantic and
Wallaston Heights, about seven O'Clock this even
ing. The scene of the accident Is about seven
miles from this city, and as soon the news
reached here, reporters drove out, and large num-
bers of cots and stretchers were sent out by the
city authorities.
AT midnight no intelligent account had been re-
ceived, but it is known at least ten killed,
andlover one hundred wounded in greater less
degree.
The train to which the accident happened was
one returning from Silver Lake, and composed Of
TWEEN ,y.two cars and carrying about 1000 persons,
who had been out to witness the race between
Reagan and Davis. The train was not going at Q
high rate Of speed. perhaps twenty miles an hour
1t Is not yet positively Known what was the cause
of the accident, but 1t is stated freight train had
just been switched off TO make way for the excur-
SION t. ain, and as the accident occurred at this
switch, there is reasonable supposition that il had
not been properly locked.
Both engines jumped the track and went over
an embsnkment. and are total wrecks, but the
engineers and fIemen escaped death or injury
only one rs far rs known being seriously hurt.
At least five of the cars were wrecked, including
baggage car and four passenger coaches. Among
the latter WAS English coach In which were many
oarsnen and newspaper men. These cars were
piled upon each other in huge mass, aud the
wonder is that the loss of life is not greater.
Patrick Reagan, the loser of the race to-day,
was sitting with Mrs. Faulkner, wife of his old
boating partner, and both were killed.
Latest news from the scene states that add itions
to the list of killed will raise the total number to
rs or more.
