Twenty Questions.

Does God desire the salvation of all
men?
As God is righteous, must not the
desire for universal salvation be a
righteous desire?
Is it true, that 1.-The desire Of the
righteous shall be granted prov. X.
pa
Did God design universal salvation
when He created man?
Will God carry his original design
into execution?
Can finite man frustrate the purpose
of the Almighty?
Is every individual under obligation
to be thankful for his existence?
Will this obligation eternally con-
tinue?
Can any one be thankful for that
which on the whole is not a blessing?
If any one is rendered endlessly
miserable, will he still be under obli-
CATION to thank God for existence.
Would endless misery benefit the
Almighty as the infictor?
Would endless misery benefit the
saints as spectators?
would endless misery Denent the
sinner as the sufferer?
If endless punishment be the WA
ges of SIN could the sinner ever re-
ceiye payment in full?
As man is finite being, can he
commit an infinite sin?
If man can not commit an inf
mite sin, can he deserve endless pun
ishment?
If one sin be infinite, can a million
be any more?
If one sin be not infinite, can a mil
lion sins amonnt to an infinite sin?
If sin be infinite, can one sin be
greater than another?
If sin be infinite, can it be true that
where sin abounded, grace did much
more abound? from V. 20)

Manslaughter as a Sport.

The time seems to have come for the
public to demand that the pistol shall
not be used as toy. The Chinese cele-
bration of the Fourth of July, of
which we hear so much nowadays, is
trifing evil compared with the prac
tice that has grown up of using pis-
tolls for amusement and allowing mere
children to play at the game of life
and death in this way. Three persons
were killed in this city on the Fourth
of July by the careless firing of pis-
tolls, and Mr. Seymour perhaps came
to his death in the same manner. On
the same day no less than fifteen per-
sons were wounded by pistol shots in
this city and Brooklyn. But the di-
version of pistol-shooting did not be-
gin and has not ended with the ami
yersary of the Declaration of indie
pendence The death of Mr.. Seymour
has been the means of directing pub
lie attention to the fact that great
deal of shooting has been going on
around the Seminary grounds. Ball
cartridges have been used when the
sportsmen of that vicinity wanted to
knock over a cat, and blank cartridges
when the object was merely to make
barbarous noise, as seems to have
been the case with the young student
who fired his charges of powder out
of the windows of the Seminary it.
self. On Wednesday night last, near
ly week after the Fourth, boy ten
years old, living in the upper part of
this city, was dangerously wounded
by the accidental discharge of a pis-
tol in the hands of one Of his play
mates.
This is simply horrible. There are
dangers enough to life from disease
and accident, in great city, without
making the very sports of children
dangerous also. The right of the peo-
pie to bear arms cannot be infringed
and every man who thinks it necessa-
ry to keep a revolver for the protec-
tion of his home against robbery OF
violence can have it. But the strict
enforcement Of the regulation which
requires every person carrying a pis-
tol to have a police permit to do sc
would do much to correct this grow
ing evil. An active public opinion
would do more. Any parent with the
ordinary instincts of humanity should
be ashamed to endanger life by allow.
ing a boy to have a murderous wea.
pom; and any man who fires a pisto
in crowded city, except In defense
of person or property, commits al
outrage. 1t is idle to talk of care il
distinguishing between ball and blanl
cartridges. Blunders will happen
The only safety lies in avoiding thG
possibility of blunders which so Otter
prove to be bloody crimes.

Where Were They?

In late speech by Geiger at Co.
lumbqs, he made the following telling
remarks:
He stated that it had been asked
where Foster was during the war. He
would like to ask where the two Ohio
Senators were during the war, and
also the Representative from this dis
trlct. Thereupon he showed up the
very vulnerable record of Thurman.
Pendleton and Converse. Then he
recited how Mr. Foster supported the
war throughout, aided in raising
troops, spent vast sums Of money for
the widows and orphans Of soldiers,
and of soldiers families. and was an
ardent patriot throughout. The Gen
eral said there were many other good
men who did not join the army and
it was impossible for all to 90: that
some one had to stay at home to keep
Thurman. Pendleton, Converse and
Vallandigham from declaring Ohio a
secession State.

The Cloud.

The cloud lay low in the heavens,
such little cloud it seemed
Just lightly touching hr seas broad breast,
WherH the roSe-i2ht fingered across the west
Soft and grey as in innocent rest
" lille the gold athw"rt il gledmeI.
1t looked such a harmless cIoudlet,
Seen over the sleeping wave.
Nel the keen-eyed mariner shook his head,
As slowly il crept DER the dusty red.
"See the rOckct-lineS are clear" he said,
And his lips set stern and grave. . a.
And or ever the eve was midnight,
That cloud was lowering black
Dimm ing he light. ot the stars away,
Dimmin@ the flash of the furious spray,
As the breakers crashed in the northern bay;
Winds hoWling on their track.
SO, in Iife's radiant morning,
May tiny care cross
Just trouble the peaceful course of love,
AS If the strength of its sway to prove,
As if to whisper, My surface may move
But my roots can laugh at loss.
1t may seem such little jarring,
Only Experience signs,
For with times sad learning to sharpen the
glance,
He sees the ''rift in the Lutte" advance,
Knows how fate may seize upon circumstance
To sever the closest ties.
All me, in the ferceSt tempest
The life-boat its work may do;
But what can courage or skill avail,
When the heart lies wrecked by passion s gale
When change or death have furled the sail,
When treason has bribed the crew?
Then watch, oh hope and gladness,
Watch for the rising cloud
Sun it away, frank warmth of YOUTH
Blow it away, bright breeze of truth,
For oh, there is neither mercy or ruth,
Should it once your heaven enshroud.

In the Holy Bonds of Matrimony

Mr.. Wallace E. Bratton, who is now
acting as Recorder Of this county, was
married on the Fourth. at Parkersburg, P
to his former wife. A bit of romance
is connected with this wedding. Sew
eral years ago, Mr.. Bratton, unable to
find employment around here, started
out on tramp after work. He is a
printer and has been a publisher of
two papers. Being shifted from pill
lar to post, nothing was heard of Mr..
Bratton for long time. Becoming
discouraged, he finally enlisted in the
regular army, where he was soon sent
to the frontier where the mails are
unsafe, infrequent and irregular Hav-
ing three small children, the widowed
woman, being not in good circum-
stances to take care Of them, Major E.
A. Bratton took them in charge. The
Major is the father of Wallace and at
his instance divorce was procured
When Wallace returned short time
since, the old flame was still alive and
eliminated in happy re-marriage.-
May they live long and prosper.

Sixteen years ago this week the
Journal suspended publication for one
week, the only suspension for over
forty years. This was caused by the
appearance in the county of over $500
armed Democrats from the South, led
by the celebrated John Morgan. That
was the only occasion in the history
of the county that the Democrats
could count up a majority of its male
inhabitants. But they did not come

We canot be too grateful for the discovery
of any remedy which will alleviate the suf-
ferings of humanity, not only in the pangs OF
pain which the patient alone suffers, but IN
the distress which it entails upon others.
Most every sufferer from his own personal
experience is aware that the ordinarymethods
of treating Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sclatlca
and kindred diseases by internal medicine,
is of no avail, and so fast is this impression
gaining hold upon intelligent patients that
they demand a more potent remedy. The
discovery of LAwsoN's CURATIVE was
priceless boon to thousands who have been
cured, and the thousands who are now being
relieved of their terrible agonies bear willing
testimony to its virtues.
Here we have CURATIVE agent which
though applied externally exerts a powerful
and benefcent influence on the whole nerve
systern-a remedy of indisputable efficacy
seldom failing to afford prompt relief in
cases of acute or chronic pains in the nerves
or muscles.
For every kind of rheumatism, for
Neuralgia in every Form, for nervous or

SWellings no remedy is known which pos
scsses the remarkable healing and soothing
qualities, which is SO universal in its charac-
r and scopesor SO simple and safe in its
application. For these reasons LAwsoN's
CURATIVE should have a place in every
