KENTUCKY,S DISGRACE.

The election of Dr. Luke P. Blackburn
to be governor of Kentucky shows the
indifference of majority of the people
Of that state to higher civilizations and
another phase of it shows that they are
not devoid of admiration for heroism.
The case is this: Dr. Blackburn under
took to decimate the Union army and
spread contagion through the North,
during the war, by sending trunks of
clothing infected by smallpox and yellow
fever, from Canada to Washington. New
York, Cincinnati and other bases of
supply and distribution. His infamous
plot was discovered and frustrated before
it had wrought great mischief. but we
were personally acquainted with one Off
cer Lieut. Charles w. Randall of Mont
pelier, son of Col T. V. Randall of the
18th and 18th Vermont, who. got the
smallpox from buying a shirt at a
Washington clothing store that was af-
terwards reported to have been furnished
by Blackburn, and years later the poor
fellow died from the effects of the disease.
There were many other cases. At the
instigation of our government Blackburn
was prosecuted in Toronto and now the
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1879-10-06

GOLDSMITH MAID AND HER OLD GROOM.
We have heard a great deal from
Eastern travellers of the the wonderful
attachment which. exists between the
horse and his master in Oriental lands,
but we doubt if anything more interest
ing has ever been told than the follow
ing story of Goldsmith Maid: Recently,
Charley Cochrane. who was for many
years her faithful groom, arrived from
California, and wishing to see the grand
old trotting mare. and her colt, called
on Mr.. Smith, her owner, to obtain the
permission to visit Fashion Stud farm
in New Jersey. Mr.. Smith accompan-
led Cochrane to the farm, and on arriv-
at the farm remarked Charley, the
Maid is very jealous Of her colt. is very
cross, and will permit no one to ap-
proach it. Cochrane arranged that
Goldsmith Maid should hear his voice
before she saw him, and. although they
had not seen each other for two years,
loud whinny presently assured the
visitors that the mare had recognized
| the mans voice. Cochrane next showed
himself, when touching scene occurred.
The old queen of the turf, who for
months would not allow any one
to approach her, making use of both
heels and teeth if it was attempted,
rushed with bound to her old friend.
forgetting even her colt, and rubbed her
head upon his shoulder, her nose in his
face, played with his whiskers, and
showed by her every action that her
heart was full Of joy to see him Di-
rectly the colt came up to them. and the
old mare was delighted when Charley
his hand on the little fellow. When
Cochrane left the place the mare follow.
ed him to the gate, whinnying for him
even after he had passed out of her
sight. .Atf posse I. se3

Mr.. MOODY AT HoME.-It may be
we'll doubted whether Mr.. Moody preach
es with as much power anywhere outside
the Connecticut valley. He may, per-
haps, secure converts in greater numbers
in other localities where his style of
preaching is less familiar than here. but
as a native and resident Of the valley
he seems to be part of it and to make
his hearers feel that they are being ad-
dressed by one of their own people. The
impression produced is a pleasant one,
and the illusions to his life at Northfeld,
the farm there and the oxen who know
their masters crib, ''for it's good
one," the old mother who lives there,
the brother who died there two or three
years ago. the little nephew who would
mt pick up Moody's Bible from the floor
after he had thrown it down, and even
the three -months'-old baby of the evan
gelist. all these are listened to not only
with patience but pleasure by the crowd
because they are told 50 aptly and mod
estly that nobody feels that the preacher
has any thought Of pushing himself or
belongings into notice. He is too much
in earnest after the main object Of his
life, the conversion Of sinners. to attempt
any advertising of himself from the pull
pit. He does not seem to have great
variety Of sermons. and one who hears him
often cannot help listening to second
treatment of the same subject, but no
body appears to care because Of the
repetition.-C0r. Of Springfield Rspub-
Ecan.

Look AFTER THEM-It is not mere
ly the preachers business to attact all
he can legitimately to the house of God !;
it is the business of every Christian in
his congregation as well. 1t is right,
therefore. to extend hearty invitation
to all we meet to come to the house of
prayer. If the invitation is accepted,
we ought to be ON the lookout for them,
and give cordial welcome, and intro
duce them to others in the congregation.
This should be followed up by call at
their homes. Very often an unconver-
ted person will stroll into house of
worship, either for curiosity or from
secret uneasiness of heart that prompts
him to seek world of comfort. In
either case, he deserves prompt recogni-
tion. He ought to be noticed, and with
a cordial greeting. 1t may be the turn
ing point in his history.

1t is one of the curious ways of the

CREEPING UP THE STAIRS.

In the softly-falling twilight
OF weary, weary day.
With quiet step entered
Where the children were at play;
was brooding over some trouble
That had met me unawares.
When little voice came ringing,
"Me is creepin' up stairsl"
All it touched the tenderest heart-string
With breath and force divine,
And such melodies awakened
AS mere words can ne'er define;
And turned to see your darling,
All forgetful of my cares,
When saw the little creature
Slowly climbing up the stairs.
Step by step she bravely clambered
On her little hands and knees.
Keeping up constant chatterng
Like magpie in the trees,
Till at last she reached the topmost,
When DER all her worlds affairs
She, delighted, stood victor,
After creeping up the stairs.
Painting heart, behold an image
of mans brief and struggling life.
Whose best prizes must be captured
With a noble. earnest strife;
Onward, upward, reaching ever,
Bending to the weight of cares,
Hoping, fearing, still expecting.
We 60 creeping up the stairs.
On their steps may be no carpet,
By their side may be no rail.
Hands and knees may often pam us
And the heart may almost fail;
Still above there is the glory
Which no sinfulness impairs,
With its rest and joy forever,
After creeping up the stairs.
