Forces, ann school Items

DEAR NEws:-As you have not
heard from this part of the world for
some time, 1 thought would write a
few lines to let you know bow we are
getting along. We have preaching in
our school house once month, by Mr..
Barnett, who Is well liked by all. The
Methodists did preach here, but have
dropped this appointment. We have
prayer meetings every Sabbath eve
ming, and have had a good Sunday
school, but it has now closed for few
weeks on account of bad weather.
Mr.. w. B. Scott taught writing
school and a five months day school
here this winter, and gave good salts
faction. On the evening OF the 18th of
February, at the close of his school, he
gave an exhibition which was largely
attended by all the people i'll the sur
rounding country. There were sever
al good essays read, and some very
good dialogues, declarations, and tab
Iaus, interspersed with good instrument
tai and vocal music, by Mr.. Anderson
Hunter and the scholars. After the
exercises Mr.. Scott presented the best
speller in each of the classes, with ap-
propriate presents. All went away
well pleased with the progress the
school had made with their reacner,
hoping we be so fortunate as to get
him to teach for us again.
Yours truly, M. G.

WASHINGTON, D c., March 5, 1873.
The Senate has passed the bill Civ
ing pensions to the surviving soldiers
of the war of 1912, and the widows OF
that war without regard to date OF
marriage. All those dropped from the
rolls for disloyslty are restored, hence,
the bill is of sweeping nature in con-
trast with the law which it amends.
The vote upon it in the Senate is sim
ply surprising, 80 ayes and 8 nays is
an astonishing difference, and taken
in connection with the debate indicates
that our solons are reaching desire to
wipe out all sectionalism and TO remove
such laws as discriminates against
classes. Under the present law, a
widow of an 1872 soldier must have
married him prior to 1915; provision
so clearly wrong in its nature that we
were not surprised to find Mr.. Blaine
and others taking ground against it.
One Senator said, the wife. who took
care of an old soldier was as much en-
titled to pension as she who married
him in his youth. Mr.. Edmunds
found himself, as he often does, fight
ing against bill without corporal's
guard to back him, but it doesn't seem
to make any difference with him, as he
deals ont his logic and precedents as If
he had the whole Senate backing him.
The House, of course, will pass the bill
without delay, as the sentiment there
in favor Of its provisions is very
strong.
Apropos of pensions it will do to call
public attention to the present COM
missioner of pensions who is striving
to wipe out the present mode of OBJ
tanning pensions by creating boards of
examination whose duty viii be to
travel over the country and at stated
places examine all applicants. 1t is of
course impossible to give details of his
plans here, but if q more pernicious
one can be invented we would like to
see IL.
Murphy still fingers with us, and
works as hard as in the past.
Our Board of Health are consider
ing the problem involved in the great
death rate which exists among our in
FAINT eolOred children, and seem unable
to effect change for the better. They
attribute the alarming mortality to
want Of proper care and food.

but though apparently demonciled in
a foreign country, he is, am quite
satisfied, as true an Englishman and
as loyal a subject of Queen Victoria as
when he threw the glass of wine in the
Cuban creOle's face. 1 don't know
what has become of Dupont, and, to
tell the truth, 1 don't much care.

The man who would shut up his
shop; says the London Mail, to save
his expenses when business was slack,
would be accounted fool, and yet be
would hardly damage his reputation
more than the advertiser who, for &
similar reason withdraWs his an
nouncements. The people who read the
papers in dull times are those who buy
when trade reviyes, and he who gets
most of their custom is the man who
has kept his name before them when
their attention was unoccupied. More
over, advertising in this country Is
left too much 70 large capitalists II
the small trader, who is grumbIing ar
his want of ability to compete with
large houses, and at their comparative
monopoly OF the public custom would
remember that in the newspaper press
he can, at comparatively small cost,
command 3 publicity cO-expensive
with the bounds of civilization. q GER
tain, lucrative return richer and rich
er In results every succeeding year, he
would doubtless more frequently use
ft. Those who pride themselves On NOT
being advertising houses" should
bear in mind that IL trade nstking
wears ouE faster than good reputa-
tEons when nOhody hears anything
about is.

VOYAGERS.

We are floating on the river of time
Voyagers together we noiselessly glide,
Drifting away to that beautiful cline
Eye hath not seen on the other side.
Yesterday saw US step down frem the shore
Into our barks at the dawn of the day
Others tomorrow will follow US Ger
For none the glad light of the morning viii
stay
We are midway out on the river of time,
And drift with the tide that we cannot
resist;
1t Is sweeping as on to an ultimate cline
That is hid from our vision in far-folded
Manhood has stamped its stern seal on our
brow.
Life-like a swift panorama moves by,
Sunshine and shadows are over us now;
Is it life, or pale death, in that western sky2
We have almost crossed DER the river of time,
The wind and the pillows have left MS q
wreck;
What steals from yon mist. like some angel
wrought chimef
May we still look it'll courage and hone
from the deck2
Aged and silent and gray We have grown,
Battered our barks, our sails they are riven
ct we feel we are coming TO friends we have
known,
When we entered the gateway of death and
OF heaven.

A good story is told of the Pope.
Three Englishmen were introduced to
him, one OF whom had been only two
days, in Rome, the other a month, and
the third 9 year. The conversation
turned upon Rome itself, and the Pope,
turning TO that one of his guests who
had been but two DAYS in the Eternal
City, said: "You, I suppose, have
seen q great deal of Rome ?'' s1Oh,
yes, a great DEAL" replied the English
man. The Pope then turned to him
of the months stay and said: "Yoa ]
suppose, have net seen 80 very much
of Rome?' 'sNo. not very much, p
was the reply. To the last English
man the Pope said; "YOu, 1 should
think had seen very little of Rome ?''
every little indeed" was the answer.
The Pope smiled benignly. and dis
missed his audience.

Man doubles all the evils of his
fate by meditaling upon them. A
scratch becomes a wound, a slight
becomes an injury, q jest becomes
an insult, small peril, great dam
ger, and q slight sickness often ends
in death by brOoding approximations.
In like manner, meditation on pleas
ing events increase ones happiness.
the main difference in the
happy und unhappy is that the
former mediate most over pleasing
memories, the latter over unpleas-
ant ones. Thus by effort of the
will and by habit our happiness is
in our power to keep or lose.

When Abraham Lincoln was a poor
lawyer, he found himself one cold day
at village some distance from Spring
field, ILL.,, and with no means of con-
Yeysnce. Seeing a gentleman driving
along the Springfield road in a car
rage, he ran up to him and politely
said: "Sir, will you have the good
ness to take my overcoat to town for
me?" "With pleasure" answered the
gentleman. "But how will you get it
again ?" sob, very easily" said Mr.
Lincoln, Gas intend to remain in IT,"
"Jump in" said the gentleman laugh
ing, and the future President had a
very pleasant ride.
