W. B. BARNETT

A man who drinks whisky will find Il We
shadows to ooe sunshine, as he wears out
his life plodding down the dirt.road to
hell. But let him become . Murphy
and stick to his pledge. and be will find
that there will be FIVE Snnshiges 10 one
shadow, aud the further on he goes the
brighter the pathway. and the more flow
ers he will have tQ lEead upon and cheer
hIm onward and upward. A mans life
in this world is pretty much of his own
making, and We never knew a man yet
who drank whisky, or who had anything
to do with il, who didn't sooner or later
hunt the shortest, toughest, darkest and
quickest road to hell that be could find.
A pint Of water is yaTlh . barrel Of
whisky 4 mouth OF sober lite is worth
lifetime Of drunkenness. The chances
q sober man takes on getting to heaven
is worth dsad-surs thing on going to
the other place, and we advise all men 10
make up their minds to drop on Whis-
ky" and astonish their slomachs By pour
ing water into 'em, even il it had the eff
feet to make 'em sick. Water is cheaper
than whisky and more plentiful, and

and less whisky poured down the OPEN

Sick Headache.

"This complaint is the result of
eating too much and exercising too lit
tie. Nine times in ten the cause is in
the fact that the stomach was not able
to digest the food last introduced into
it, either from its having been unsuita-
BILE, or excessive in quantity. A diet
of bread and butter with ripe fruit or
berries, with moderate and continuous
exercise in the open air, sufficient to
keep up gentle PerspiratiOn would
cure almost every case in a short time,
Two teaspOOnfuls of powdered charcoal
in a half glass of water and drank,
generally gives instant reiief,n we
are inclined TO think that the above
remedies may do in some, but not in
all cases. A sovereign remedy for
this distressing disease is not easily
found. y new correspondent from
Connecticut contributes the following
on this subject: Sick headache is pc
riodical, comes on at regular intervals,
and is the signal Of distress which the
stomach puts on to inform US that
there is an Over-alkaline condition OF
its fluids; that it needs natural acid
to restore the battery to its normal
working condition. When the first
symptoms of headache appear take a
tablespoonful of lemon juice, clear IF
teen minutes before each meal, and
the same dose at bedtime; follow this
up until all symptoms are passed, taxi
ing no other remedies, and you vii.
soon be able to go free from this un-
welcome nuisance. Many will object
to this because the remedy is too sim
pie; but | have made many cures in
this way.

A Beautiful Thought.

When the summer of youth is SLOW
ly wasting away on the nightfall of
age, and the shadow of the path be-
comes deeper, and life wears to its
close, it is pleasant to look through the
vista of time upon the sorrows and
facilities of our earlier years. If we
have had home to shelter and hearts
to rejoice with Us and friends have
been gathered around our ireside, the
rough places of the wayf4ri4g will
have been worn and sHOOthed away in
the twilight of life, and many dark
spots we have passed through will
grow brighter and more beautiful.
Happy, indeed, are those whose in,
tereourse with the world baye net
changed the tone of their earlier feel
ing or broken those musical chords Of
the heart whose vibrations are SO mel
odious, so touching, in the evening o.
their liyes. b.. ..

way than to make a clean breast of il,
and plunged into his story at once.
Word for word he related the CONVEX
satiOn he had heard in the hOrse-barn,
and the effect it had upon him. He
was deeply in earnest, and in closing,
humbly appealed for forgiveness. He
saw her trembls and put her hands to
her face. Poor girl, she pitied him.
His heart rose, and his hand was upon
the gate to open it. when a peal of
laughter, louder aud louder from being
30 long pent up, rang out upon the
night air, almost startling Hiram out
Of his boots, and waking the Deacon
and his wife from a sound sleep in the
upper front bedroom.
Up went the window and a night
capped head was thrust out with de-
mand rs to what was the matter.
Still Jenny laughed, while Hiram
stood silent by the gate, angry and
ashamed, not whether to advance or
go back. At last Jenny found her
voice.
$50 home, Hiram Jenkins" she
said, "Say your prayers and go to
sleep, and it you want to say any
thing more to me, come up tomorrow
evening after supper. But mind,
don't go to listening at any horse-barn
on your way home.' and she went off
into another peal of laughter.
Hiram did not wait to say goodnight.
Whether he slept or said his prayers
that night is not recorded, but it IL an
established fact that s o'clock the next
evening found him in Deacon Bates
parlOr. The interview was long and
probably interesting one, and its imme-
diate result was that before Thanks
giving the Deacon had neither Jenny
in the house nor in the barn. That
was year ago, and Hiram has since
done the town some service as select
man, aud is likewise n digniied justice
of the peace. But in the midst of all
his dignities and hOnOrs, if he ever
happens to insist upon having his own
way, the threat of telling about the
horse barn brings him to terms ut
once. 1t is the one check of his indie
pendence-the magic charm by which
Mrs. Hiram jenkins yields the house
hold scepter.

The Kentucky sfats SUNDAY /.
school Union.


The Kentucky State Sunday-schOOl
Union, met at Maysville, July o. 1873,
at 8 o'clock p. NJ, closing July H..
There was an unusually large attend
ance. Rev. J. G. Morris, ID. d., of
Louisville, president. called the me, /.
ing to order. anal the evening was
spent in delivering short, sterring aG.
dresses by the leading Sunday-schoOl
men Of the State. On the morning
Of tie 10Th, Dr. J. L. Burrows, OF
Louisville. wa elected president for
the ensuing year. James +. Huber,
Of Louisville, was elected secretary and
treasurer.
The meeting was held in the Presby-
terrain church which was decora-
ted with rare and beautiful flowers.
Over the inner door Of main audience
room the word welcome" written
by a neat and artistic arrangement Of
flowers and evergreens, greeted the
public. The citizens Of Maysville
showed their determination and abili-
ty to maintain the good name Of Ken
tuckians by opening wide, their hearts
aud their homes to the members and
visitors of the convention.
This was regarded as the best meet
ing, in many respects, ever held by
the Union.
We had no idea that the Sunday
school cause presented so many varied
and rich topics for thought and dis
eussion.
The next annual meeting will con-
vene in OwensbOro, ON the first Tues
day after the first Sunday in July,
for three days session-the details
to be arranged in the mean time by
the executive committee.
1t is the very earnest hope that all
Western Kentucky will be thoroughly
worked up this year. and for this pur-
pose, we are to meet in that section Of
the State. 1t is hoped that Unions,
auxiliary to the State Union, will be
organized in every county in the State
The State was thoroughly redistricted
at the Maysville session, and vice
presidents appointed for every district,
consisting Of some Of the best Sunday
school men of the State. Now let US
have a grand move all along the line.
Let this grand agency Of our common
Christianity be thoroughly applied.
In6delity, refined and cultured, IS do
ing its utmost to whelm our whole
land, and lead our youth to the devil;
and our chief means Of counteractiOn
is the Sunday-schOol as a moral and
religious institution. We expect a
grand rally this year, and a good meet
at OwensbOro next year.

ture the first officer, who had watch,
and wait for orders. Lieutenant Col.
lins | ordered to the engine-rOOm. He
took three men, and his orders were
to arrest all in the name Of the Con-
federate States, and on no account tn
fire on any man unless he resisted.
then proceeded 70 the main deck with
the rest of my men, and posted a SEN
tinel at the cOmpaniOn-way. When
amidships heard a man run to the
port side and shot fired at the COM
paniOn-way. 1t was the first officer
who disregarded the hail of the sentry,
and trying to reach the deck again by
the main-hole, was shot twice. |
passed down to the engine-rOOm and
found the steam going down and no
engineer on duty. In the 6re-rOOm
found eight firemen in irons in front OF
the furnace. Lieutenant Collins re-
ported to me that while putting the
fremen in irOns one Of them resisted
and was fired at. Then the engineer,
hearing this, armed himself with n
fOur.barreled Snaps deringer. and,
on being ordered to surrender, fired at
one Of my men. The fire was returned
and the engineer killed. This was
Orrin Shepherd, the second engineer,
for whose murder as a pirate Lieuten-
ant Parr was arrested. Immediately
went below and found the engineer
lying dead on the threshold Of the en-
gine-room. The body was sewn in a
sheet and thrown overheard. | took
three men and ordered Captain VIII
let's to surrender to the Confederate
States as a prisoner of war. Instead
of so doing he leaped out and ran ten
or twelves times around the deck be-
fore he was captured. i did not like
to fire on him. put him in irons in
the wheel-hOuse. The second officer l
found afterwards secreted in the ice
chest, and put him in irons to keep the
captain company. The chief engin-
Ger, when ordered to surrender, only
opened his door on a crack and was
fired at and slightly wounded in the
chin, when he dashed out and ran
around the deck in his shirt, a rather
cool costume for December weather.
Another of the officers, Henderson got
down on his knees and begged for his
life. j put him in irons and sent him
to the wheel-hOuse. The total time
occupied in the capture was thirty
FIVE minutes, including the putting all
of the crew in the fOrecastle in irons.

ships course and took departure from
Cape Elizabeth light at four o'clock
that morning. having orders to take
the vessel to Seal Cove on the Eng
lish island of Frand Munan, opposite
Eastport. Me-, and there turn her over
to Captain Parker, Of the Confederate
navy"
Captain Braine concludes his narra-
tive by telling of the chase and capture
of the ChesaDeak by the United States
gunboats Ella and Anna in the port
of Lahave, where she was taking coal.
He says that Parr is wealthy and can
fight his own battles, but he does not
see how he can be held on the charge
of piracy or murder.

So little thinking then
What changes Time made.
There stands the old elm,

There still is the old house,
Now quiet aud lonely,
Once full of childish CLEO
And loves brightness only.

Spent in boyish play
Fond hours together;
The day that Ielt thee.
Sweet home Of my childhood,
Long on thy threshold
In sadness I stood.

Since then many loved Ouos
In death long have slumbsr'd;
But ne'er can oblivion,
Nor times subtle changes,
Remove from my hear:
