Now that the Missouri State Asylum for
the Insane at St. Joseph, has been destroy
ed by fire, the people of Southeast Missouri,
who have never enjoyed dollar of State
patronage, until Cape Girardeau secured her
Normal School, should insist that the new
asylum be built in some OF the lower
counties. With abundant means for egress
and ingress, both by river and railroad,
with exhaustless supplies of food, healthy
climate, etc, no place in the State is better
adapted for such an institution than the
town of Charleston. The st. Joseph's
building was a total loss, and as a conse-
quence an entirely new one must be erect
ed. Let the southern members of the
General Assembly, now in session, put in
their work, and the 100000 the asylum
will cost will be expended in Southeast
Missouri.

ascendant party in majority Of the North
em States. The Democratic PARTY of the
South, standing alone, would invite the
presence of federal troops at every State
capital, and bring upon that section again
all the excuses and horrors of the carpet
bagism, that characterized the decade end
ing with the last presidential election In
view of consequences so dire to themselves,
our Southern brethren should tone down
their dictatorial spirit, somewhat, and if
they will argue themselves into the conclu-
sion that Northern Democrats are much
less dependent than themselves, they will
argue wisely, and arrive at truth that will,
if properly weighed, exert a wholesome
influence.

IT IS held that our people are returning
to the economical ways of our fathers, be-
cause almost everywhere in the North and
East, the business is descending tothe nickle
and penny plan. An impecunious traveller
in referring to this matter, says that at one
time in California and the West, when
money was plenty, no denomination of the
currency was used less than two bits
twenty-five cents. AS money got more
scarce, smaller coins were circulated, and
now nearly the whole Of the Republic is
going down INTO the penny system" 1t
will be great degradation for a clustering
citizen who used to fling down 'two-bits
tor drink, to succumb to circumstances
and gather in copper change in his old age
but there is no more positive sign that
economy, close-dealing and small margins
are being resorted to than this return tc
coppers' and an evident attention to small
things, After this comes renewal OF
prosperous times.

A NEW definition has been 5hen TO the
word Chicago. John Jenkins, of Cass coun-
ty, Michigan, says that when he was a boy
he was entirely familiar with the language
of the Indians in his neighborhood, and
that, fifty years ago, Chicago was known as
Tuck Chicago-Tuch meaning wood, or tim
Der, and Chicago meaning "gone"-the
whole signifying "timber-gone. 1t strikes
us that the designation admits of too gen.
eral an application to apply exclusively to
the site of Chicago. 1t would have applied
eqally well to any other portion OF prairie
land, either in Illinois or Michigan. The
Jenkins definition wont do.

THERE is no fact better known to OBJ
serving men than the fact that, until the
Democratic party gained control in the
House Of Congress, the South was full of
Republican claim agents, working up
"loyal" claims against the government
Kellogg, now in the United States Senate,
is deeply interested in 100000 of such
claims, and other loyal Southerners' hold
amounts ranging from $4,000 to $500 900,
aggregating many hundreds Of millions.
Before the Democratic party gained posi-.
ton as the guardian of the peoples money,
the Republican party had paid not less
than hundred and fifty millions of dol.
lars Of these rascally claims and had not
the Democratic House choked off the treas
ury raiders, the treasury would have been
plundered Of more than twice that sum
And now that the game is up the very
Republican leaders who had their arms
elbow deep in the treasury, are raising the
hue and cry that "the Democratic party in.
tends to pay the rebel war claims" OF
course this is malicious falsehood the
cutlery of foiled and desperate plundercrs
But the Democratic House owes it to III,
party to denounce it as such, and should
| do 50 at once.

REPRESENTATIVE Ellis, of Louisiana, has
been regarded as a dangerous extremist,
and heartily denounced as suchby northern
Republicans. But the fact that he was so
regarded and so denounced was no conclu-
sive proof that he was properly judged.
Only few days ago, from his place in the
House, he declared that as regards the
claims which are forever being urged by
"loyal" claimants, and known as war claims,
let me say that l. for one, am willing here
and now to vote for constitutional amend
ment which shall close the books and for
ever settle the accounts between those
"loyal' claimants and the government II
other Southern Democrats will say as much,
we will have that disturbing element, the
so-called Southern claims, removed form
the arena Of politics. and thus will rob the
Republican party of the stock in trade
upon which they are thriving, and hope to
thrive until after 1880.

BARRATRY is a crime against which the
statute Of nearly every state in the Union
denounccs penalty; every community IN
the country contains from one to dozen
men who have rendered themselves liable
to prosecution under the law, yet, only
three men in the United States have been
prosecuted successfully, during the past
hundred years. Barratry is defined as "the
stirring up, exciting and promoting law
SUITS fomenting neighborhood quarrels, and
by false and vexatious stories disturbing
the quiet and good feeling of the people"
No community is without its barratrist and
the wonder is that such fomenters of pub.
lie contention and ill-will are not more
frequently prosecuted.

LAST Thursday night an Iowa farmer,
living near Nashville, took his axe, and
quietly gaining the sleeping apartment of
his eighteen-year old daughter, split her
head wide OPEN The paper from which
we obtain this information, adds that
the farmer was unusually fond Of his
family He MUST have been a doting
father, anyhow. And, judging him by the
same rule, he thought great deal Of him

he was not 'very fond Of her"

A Word to Pastors.

Make up your minds yon must work,
but il you consider yourself fellow
member, don't work alone. Help your
church. bat don't carry i'll If you find
meddleaome bnsybodies, givie them
plenty TO do; they hate real work as a
mosquito does smoke,
Your main business is to preach; but
to do this yon must know your people
and ascertain their wants. Don't visit
just to please, but to help on your work.
Some families will need six visits to
another's one. Co where you can, hurt
the devil most. Be governed by mems
wants--not their complaints.
Preach not as others do, but as you
and God can best arrange it. Fill your
heare5 with sound reason, then cork
them tightly with sound application;
bind them tightly with THUS saith
the Lord" Be sparing, if not little
stingy, in using sermons. Remember
when the stream of study stops flowing,
the pulpit pond lowers Give no cen>
sures, unless there is love enough to
prevent their drowning IN hatred. 1t
requires much love to praise, more to
reprove.
Attack measures; chit" people only
when they stand between you and the
devil.
You must begin in time, and not be
too long in uttering what you have to
sly-if if you would have this busy age
stop aud listeL II you would preach
the best sermons, practice them faith-
fully beforehand Eadeavor to be the
greatest man in the parish, and that by
being the servant of all. Be- childish
enough to think you never eau be left
away from Christ. Rnl to show Him
all yOu have, AMI ask Hun for al you
want.

Wasting Tlms.

When Jesus WAS up1n earth H. slid
to His disciples, "Gather up the frag.
ments, that nothing be lost;" and al
though this was spoken of food, it may
be applied to time. What vast
amount of time IS wastedl We stand,
as it were, half way up mountain, AMI
turning to look back, what do We see?
Far down at the beginning of the ascent,
all the way up, till we reached the
place where Jesus streached out HIS
band to save, we see opportunities gone
time wasted, and what sad regrets fill
the miud at the sight! On, if we had
only known how to live rightly from
the beginning of our lives to the
present.
The other half of the mountain is yet
to be climbed, aud, and there are clouds
above us 50 thick that our gaze cannot
penetrate them; but with our knowl-
edge of the past we ought to profit for
the futnre. Let us use the remnant of
our time rightly; consecrate ourselves
and all that we have to G3 d; tear every
idol from our hearts, whatever it may
be, and be free to Christ. Let us live
by the moment and venture out upon
the promises of the Lord, knowing that
He has not promised anything that He
will not perform. An Arab philoso-
pier once said, 'I shall never pass this
way again; ii, therefore 1 would do any
good, l must d. it now or never" We
are living for eternity; our influence af-
fects somebody every day of our lives.
1t has been truly sad. "Ole cannot
live stronger, purer life without helps
ing to make another's stron ser aud
plrer. Color drop of water. aud put
it in contact with other drops, and soon
all will be colored."

Prayer.

"What a privilege to carry evrey~
thing to God in prayer. Only think
of it; not fewlthings, but everything
There Is nothing So small, SO triAing,
that God caunot stoop to hear about it.
There is nothing of so great impor-
tance that we cannot trnst it to him.
We can carry it all to God, knowing
that he doeth all things we'll. How
good he is to give us the precious priVi-
lege, and how many blessings he be-
stoHs upon us daily How much we
ought to bless and praise his holy name
for his goodness to us poor, sinful, crea-
lures. But although we are so poor
aud sinful, yet we may ppur ont all our
trials andlsorrows, and tell him all our
thoughts, hopes, aud desires. He will
always lend a sympath zing ear. The
blessed Savior knows all about us. He
taught his disciples how to pray and
promised to seud the Comforter whom
he was gone.
It has been said that prayer is the
golden key with which the Christian
unlocks the great treasure house of his
Masters wealth; aud is in not true?
CertrinIy earnest prayer will bring down
the richest blessings that Heaven can
give. IT is also the Christians armor
When he gets upon his knees Satan's
darts will not harm him. He will go
away with his temptations and say sit
no use while he prays so much. Wait
until he neglects prayer and thN | will
try him."
Yes, when we begin to neglect pray
er Satan will be ready for us, and will
riyet his claims about us almost before
we think of it. Oh, let us make the
! most of this privilege. Let us press
onward to the end, praying often by
the way. We have not long to wait be-
fore we shall meet our dear Savior facs
to face; and if we have been faithful
we shall have great and glorious re-
ward.

Passing Clouds .

A faithful minister of Christ one day
overlook an aged saint, who, in
reply to a question regarding his wel>
fare, said:
81 know not how it is, but have
been much disquieted of late. 1t is
now nearly sixty years since the Lord
Jesus found me in my sins and spoke
peace to my soul, and then had such
an questioning repose in His love, such
surance of hope, and such Joy in be-
lieving, that it seemed that heaven had
begun on earth. B1t now such dark
ness has come over me that ut times l
am tempted to doubt whether l ever
knew Him in truth, and that it was all
but pleasing dream in which ] had
deceived myself"
"And the reason of that is" replied
the minister, "that sixty years ago,
when the Lord found you, you knew
that you were a hell]deserving sinner;
| you never tIiOuSu VI hANiuk ahy SVOu
IN yourself, but you looked away from
your sinful self to Christ, and you
found all that You needed in Him.
| You were satisfied with His finished
work; His blood spoke peace to you.
You saw Him as made unto You Goi's
wisdom, even righteousness, sancti6ca
ton, aud redemption. But now you
ar beginning to say with yourself, IF L
am child of God-and there is dark
ness in that 'if'-'if l have been SUBJ
iect of divine grace for sixty years, then
surely there ought to be abundant fruit
to His praise and great spiritual attain
ments. Aud you have turned away
| from Christ to seek satisfaction in your
| life, or in your own heart, and all is
darkness; for The earth does not become
luminous body, however long and
clearly the sun may shine upon it.
The Lord is dealing meroifully with
you, and will not permit you to find
rest in self. He will have you to turn
to Christ again as ever. aud will have
YOU end where You began. rejoicing in
Christ Jesus, aud having no confidence
in the flesh; at the end, as at the begin
ing, sinner saved by grace.
