A Tangled Skein.

Life is but tangled Skein,
Full of trouble, toll, and travel,
Knots that puzzle heart and brain,
We must study to unravel:
Slowly, slowly,
Bending loWlY
Ger our task, and trustingg wholly
Unto Him, whose loving hand
Helps us smooth each twisted strand.
In our hands at early morn,
And at night when darkness fingers,
Still the diStaff must be borne,
While the thread slips through her fingers,
Lightly, lightly,
Twisting tightly
Colors that shall CLEAN out brightly
When the fabric feels the strain
OF m isfortune, grief and pain.
He who lack of skill Or thought
Is in awkwardnesS betraying,
VIII the lines of grace diStOrt,
By the friction surely frayiug
Thread so tender,
Fine and slender,
Stands accused as offender,
And himself alone must blame
For the knots that cause him shame.
Some may wind silken thread,
Soft and smooth and beautiful;
Others flax may hold instead,
Or the coarse and shaggy weel;
But it ever
Our endeaVOr
From the strains of sin to sever,
We may weave them bright and fair
In the robes that angels wear.
Life's a complex skein indeed,
Full of trouble, toll, and travel,
More than human help we need
All its maZeS to unraVel,
Slowly, slowly,
Bending IOwly
Der our task, and trusting wholly
In Gods love. we patience gain
AS we wind the tangled skein,

Dungan's COWardice,

Levi DUNCAN has been practicing
lawyer for 81 years, served some s
years as Prosecuting Attorney Of Jack
son county, served one year as Mayor
of Jackson, two years in the Ohio Leg
islature, and was once a candidate for
State Senator, and once a candidate
for Judge Of the Court of Common
Pleas; yet he is afraid-dare not
meet Mr.. Paine, ayoung man, and a
lawyer of only two or three years
practice, and who has never held any
office until he was elected Representa-
tive last fall.
Read the following, in proof of
what we say:
JACKSON, O., August 18th, 1879.
To the Democratic Executive Committee of
Jackson County, Ohio:
The Republican Executive Com
mittee of Jackson County, Ohio. chal-
lenge your candidate for Representa-
tive, Hon. Levi DUNCAN, for a dis
cussion of the political issues of the
day. with Hon. J. B. Paine. Discussion
to be. confined to Jackson County,
Ohio. C. C. JAMES,
Chairman Rep. Ex. Com.
DAVID DAVIS, Secy.
JACKSON, O., August 22d, 1879.
To the Republican Executive Committee of
Jackson county, ONO:
Your favor Of recent date, inviting
the Hon. Levi DUNCAN to participate
in a joint discussion of the political
topics involved in this campaign with
Hon. J. B. Paine, has been received
and considered, and in reply, permit
us to say, that the sentiments of Mr..
DUNCAN, as we'll as his distinguished
zeal in maintaining them, are well
known in this county; that he dis
tinctly stated. in accepting the Demo-
cratic nomination, that he expected to
receive other, as well as Democratic
votes; that he anticipated assistance
from his old friends in the county,
friends, many of them, of more than
thirty years standing, and that with
out such support he could not be
elected. This committee relies upon
Mr.. Dungan's high personal standing
and his known integrity, to enable
him to realize his expectations in re-
gard to those who will vote for him
and therefore for reasons that are OBJ
vious, begs leave to decline accedins
to your proposition.
But inasmuch as Mr.. Paine's cours'
in the Legislature during its las
session, was so equivocal, that he nov
feels the necessity of an explanation
and as the voters of the county may
desire to know whether his votes were
dictated by partisan feeling, or wer
cast in in the interest of his constitu
ents, and as it has been intimated by
some that many Of the acts of tn
Hon. gentleman were against the in
terest of the people, now, in order tina
all may have an opportunity to b
instructed, upon matters coming di
rectly home to us, we propose a JOIN
discussion between Hon. James [
Paine and Hon Irvine DUNCAN, s
that the people of the county may b
advised as to the legislation of las
winter and especially as to the par
taken therein by Mr.. Paine. Thes
= two gentlemen were both members a
. the same time, and are presumed t
have personal knowledge of the act
of the legislature during its la:
session.
. Awaiting your reply, the undersigne
subscribes himself. with consideration
e of respect, your obedient servant,
;, JOHN T. MOORE. Chairman.
By order Dem. Cen. Com.

Some time ago we received copy
of the Hillsdale (Mich.) Standard,
with an article of column and over,
giving an account of the celebration
of the S0th birthday of Enoch Ewing,
which occurred July 81, 1879.
When we can first remember, Enoch
Ewing resided in Jefferson township,
this township, a short distance south
west from the present location of
Vaughn's Station.
The account of the celebration is
too lengthy for our space, but we give
the following extract:
Enoch Ewing (better known as father Ew.
ingD was born in West Virginia, July 3lst. 1893
At the age of eleven years, with his parents
ten brothers and two sisters, he came to South.
At the age OF twenty-five he gave his hand
and heart in matrimony TO Miss Susan Rada

manufacture a nice suit of clothes, for those
days.

Song of DiXies Land over the acquittal {
Henry Gully, of Kemper county, Miss, indicte
for the murder of Cornelia Chisolm, while sh
was defending the life of her father, Judg
Chisolm.
Confederate veterans, rally!
Fling out the old banner of bars
With its limited number of stars,
And wave it i'll mountain and valley!
Let bugleS be sounded,
And nought be omitted;
Our joy is unbounded,
For Gully's acquitted!
o, praised and thrice-honored be Gully!
Sweet be his euphonious name
In the musical trumpet of fame,
His chivalry nothing can sully!
He fought for his party
In deeds that benefited;
Let hOnOrS be hearty,
For Gully's acquitted!
Her pa sought a war OF the races
Republican notions he aired;
The niggerS could vote, he declared,
And told 'em SO right to their faces!
A foe to our section,
His death was permitted !;
We won the election,
And Gully's acquitted!
They tried him, you know for trifle;
Her old daddy's chances We're slim
And when we went gunnin' for him
She jumped right In front OF the rifle.
That heightened their furyl
The gals to De pited
But cheers for the jury,
For Gully'S acquitted!
You see, her life had to be taken!
She wouldn't let 'em kill he old man.
For Gully wen do what We can
Well send him to Congress, reckon!
Fling out the bright banner
OF bars; it is fitted
To match our "hOSanna ~
For Gully's acquitted
