Winds upward to the hilltop town.
All, what Is life save just path!
A hasty walk for only one;
And childhood, manhood, age, are fields
Between us and the setting sun.
That telling traveller gains the hill.

And now he seems amid the clouds,
AS If to Heaven an angel flew!
oh blest the life that holy here
Beyond the ridge of death has passed,
A shaded footpath now, but merged
In everlasting life at last!

"Oh, of course, ought to tell you
that. Agnes was thrown from carriage

her head was badly hurt. They sent me

month there was but little change. I
went to see her as often as I could

hardly speak or look at me, 'twasn't

something is forbidden, and therefore
express the Objective case, but not the
object. Now let us supply an object.
Law forbids murder. Hence we express
the object, in the Objective case, which
is expressed by the Verb.
Rule VIII. "Active Transitive Verbs

be teachers dictate for the author, "Ac-
tive Transtive Verbs govern the object" 1"
1t can govern the object in nothing but
Case, and yet when the false reasoning
of leo eQuum diIdnidrit, is exposed, at
once their head is where their feet ought
to be, in justification of prudentiam sim
aldtione stultiare tererdnt. From mother
Eve down to her latest son. When an
error is exposed, its author shifts from
one subterfuge to another, seeking for
an excuse, until the "error wounded,
writhes in pain, and dies amid her wor-
| shipers," While the unfortunate au-
thor forgetting Qo6d est in homine

pool, created by his own nasty eXcres-
ccnccs, and there strangulates aud dies
in agonies, unnoticed and uncared for
by all who feel themselves above the

excrescense ofpersonal slang, and (bush-

subterfuge. 1t is passingly strange that
editors will publish such things, know
ing the distaste the public has for them,
aud especially knowing their iemoraliz-

groes, initiating his brothers voice to
perfection, asked him to open his door,
which he did. The black demons then
rushed upon him, threw him violently
to the floor and told him to give up his
money or die. He declared he had only
So, which he gave then. Then followed
n series of diabolical tortures. They
first singed the hair off his body, when
they again demanded his money. lie
declared he had spoken the truth. They
then hung him until he waS almost un-
conscious, when they dropped him and
again asked him for money: but with
all this he still told the same story. He
was then repeatedly hanged and let
down and the same question propound-
ed, with the same answer. While this
was being done the negroes uttered the
foulest and blackcst of oaths, in keeping
with their brutal treatment Of Laprade.
Numberless tortures, too shameful for
print succeeded each other. Disappont-
ed and furious, they at last hacked him
with knives and cut out the tendons of
his legs, from the knees down, and then
killed him. They then hid his body
away under some bushes. On the fol-
lowing night two of the party became
alarmed and carried the body to sink
hole in front Of his house.

hblaxe. Capt. Newberry naturally
thought that as the Funders professed
to have laid aside their Funder gar
ments for the campaign, 1t would do for
him to 'Hay aside his Readjuster gar
'nents" until the Presidential election
was over. But Capt. Newberry got his
eyes opened to the fact that the Funders
had not laid aside Funderism at all, and
he saw the proof Of 1t when they went
TO Abingdon and ran into the sky the
name Of Trigg, a confirmed Funder for
Congress. SO Capt. Newbcrry will
make the bills Of Bland echo with Re
adjustment. He has again put on Ills

having sown the wind can reap the

Now who is responsible for this split

know that If you and your friends had
not for nine years resisted REIMBURSEMENT
there would to-day be but one HANCOCK
ticket? You were told long ago you
were doing II job that would split your
party. And you chose to split
rather than readjust. Now If you like
splitting better than readjusting you can
have your job. Were you not told that
if Gov. HOLIDAY chose to veto the pco-
ple in the BARBOUR bill he would split
the plank he stood on and split the con-
vention that nominated him In IT;
You put HOLIDAY at your head and
you got him to veto the people and veto
the convention that nomina ated him.
And now you have on your hands jol
you can't manage. You sowcd the wind
and now you don't like the July whirl-
wind. Nevertheless 1t will surely sink
you.
