Our F0rem0thers.
Down the vista of the country.

Down the vista of the country,
Through its dim and shadowy years,
Teeming with their tolls and struggles
Joys and sorrows, hopes and fears.
Come the voice of noble women,
Who, with fathers, husbands, brothers
Kept the faith and fought the battle
For the right-our brave foremothers
Women who, when freedom, fettered,
Shook its chains, defiance hurled;
Twas their hands that lit the beacon,
Theirs the flag Of truth unfurled,
Theirs, the fingers, swift and skillful,
Spun the fax as white AS snow;
WOve the cloth that clothed the armies
Which for freedom struck the blow.
When the clouds of warfare darkened,
And the country's woe seemed near,
Theirs, the brave hearts, full of courage
That the doubling helped to cheer,
Theirs, the hearts that true and tender
Knew no fzltering or distrust;
Cheered the hopeless, soothed the weary
With their words of faith and trust.
If to-day those noble matrons-
Sisters, wives-whO sacrificed
All they had for homes and country,
Could from their long sleep arise,
| can fancy they would calmly,
After their quaint fashion speak
Something to the vain and giddy.
Words of wisdom to the weak:
Women of the nineteenth century,
With your wondrous gifts so rare;
Freedom from all old-time thralldOm;
Freedom now to do or dare;
Look not on the great worlds conflicts
Through your curtains filmy lace;
But with hearts and hands be doing
Something to advance the race"
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1880-02-19
SENTIMENT AND SENsE.


Faithfulness and sincerity are the
highest things.
Pride hath two seasons A forward
spring and an early fall.
Human life is everywhere state in
which much is to be endured.
Favors of every kind are doubled when
they are speedily conferred.
1t is something to be good, but it is
far finer to be good for something.
He is not only idle who does nothing,
but he is idle who might be better en-
ployed.
No principle is more noble, as there is
none more holy, than that of true ODE
dience.
The necessities that exist are in gen.
eral created by the superfiuities that are
enjoyed.
1t often happens that those of whom
we speak least ON earth are best known
in heaven.
Unhappy is the man for whom his
own mother has not made all other
mothers venerable.
Modesty promotes worth but eonceals
it, just as leaves aid the growth of fruit
and hide it from view.
Hope is like the wing of an angel,
soaring up to heaven and bearing our
prayers to the throne of God.
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1880-02-19
GEMS OF THOUGHT.

Great things are not accomplished by
idle dreams, but by years of patient
study. ..
There are some persons on whom
their faults sit well, and others who are
made ungraceful by their good quail
ties.
Many man has reached the summit
of fame, and then looked down into the
humble valley where he came from, and
longed to be there again.
Sin always begins with pleasure and
ends with bitterness. 1t is like colt
which the little boy said was very tame
in front, and very wild behind.
We should enjoy our fortune as we dc
our health.-enjoy it when good, be pa
tient when it is bad, and never apply
violent remedies except in an extreme
necessity.
As the western clouds are tinged with
gold even after the sun is lost to view
so does the memory of kind act bring
a smile to the face when its author be
forgotten.
If you were as willing to be as pleas
ant and as anxious to please in your own
house as you are in the company of youl
neighbors, you would have the happiest
home in the world.
Duty is the little blue sky over every
heart and soul-over every life-large
enough for a star to look between the
clouds, and for the skylark Happiness
to rise heavenward through and sing in
The world is governed by three things
wisdom, authority, and appearances
Wisdom is for thoughtful people, au'
thority for rough People, and appear.
ances for the great mass of superficial
people who can look only at the out
side.
Seek not to please the world, but YOU
own conscience. The man who has 9
feeling within him that he has done his
duty upon every occasion is far happier
than he who hangs upon the smiles Of
the great or the still more fickle favOrs
of the multitude. eI'
Imaginary evils soon become rea
ones by indulging our reflections OF
them; as he who in melancholy fancy
sees something like face on the wall ol
wainscot, can, by two or three touche:
with lead pencil, make it look visible
and agreeing with what he faLcied.

Get quit of the absurd idea that Heav-
en- will interfere to correct great errors,
while allowing its laws to take their
own course in Furnishing small ones. If
food is carelessly prepared, mo one ex-
poets Providence to make it palatable; !;
neither, if through years of folly you
misguide your cwn life, need you expect
divine interference to bring around eve
rything at last for the best tell you
positively the world is not so cOnsti-
tuted, The consequence of great mis-
takes are just as sure as those of small
ones, and the happiness of your whole
life, and of all the lives over which yeu
have power, depends as literally on your
common sense and discretion as the ex-
cellence and order of the feast of day.

Notes ON Department.

Keep your nails paired, and keep pair
ed yourself. Single blessedness is an
empty mockery.
Part your hair neatly. Part your for
tunefairly.
Toe out, not i'll. Especially if you are
an employer, you would better to turn
out your feet than your hands.
Keep your face cleanly shaved, and
stop there. Don't shave your custom
ers.
Don't talk with your mouth filled
with food. And there is no call for
your talking much under normal condi-
tions.
Keep your clothing well brushed. If
you have no brush, tell your wife how
you long for your mothers cookery, and
you will have one instanter.
See that your collar button is secure
before you leave home in the morning.
Else you will find your choler rising be-
fore night.
When talking, don't keep fumbling
your face, as though you were lingering
a musical instrument.
DOn't.smoke in the presence of ladies'.
This does not apply to the meerschaum
and brierpipes your ladies have given
you from time to time. Smoke in these
ladies presents as often as you please.
Don't walk the streets with your cane
or umbrella thrust under your arm at
right angles with your body. The po-
liceman may take you for cross and
take you in.
Don't interrupt person in his talk.
The natural limit of mans life is three
score years and ten, and he can't go on
forever.
Never put your knife in your mouth.
The mouth is very poor place to keep a
knife. Apt to make it rusty.
/ Don't tuck your napkin under your
shirt-collar. The waiter may think you
would steal it.
Never say Il won't" even if it be your
wont to feel that way.
Don't speak so low that you have to
be asked to repeat everything that you
have said. The second time of saying a
thing will frequently impress you with
its fatness.
Don't speak so loud that everybody s
ears are outraged. 1t may injure your
trachea.-[ Boston Transcript.

Popularized Proverbs.

Who laughs last gets left.
Policy is the best honesty.
Still waters don't run at all.
By night all ulsters are gray.
Whom the gods love die drunk.
Discretion is nine points of the law.
Man proposes, but her father disposes.
It's a long lane that has no style about
it.
He'll hath no fury like woman cor.
nered.
All that glitte1s is not worth its face
value.
. Don't paint the devil whittier than he
deserves.
A burnt child breads the ready pain
extractor.
It's awise child that compromises with
its own father.
Marry in haste and the old man will
repent at leisure.
A bird in tie hand is worth two in
some other fellows.

A YOUNG MAN by the name of VIM.
KOtz, coachman for Mr.. Charles McClel-
Ian, came to my store one morning COM
planning that his feet hurt him very bad
ly, and expressing fears that they were
frost-bitten. He had in vain tried to
get relief by consulting physicians, and
had endeayored. without success, to ease
the pain by rubbing his feet with snow
and ice, the remedy applied in such ca
ses. Being exposed a great deal to the
cold by his occupation. his feet got worse
daily, until one day he tainted in the
street. A fey days after he again came
to my store and showed me his feet.

but nothing to equal this,an WIS afraid
the poor fellow would lose his limbs. He
asked ME for ST.. JACOBS On; but at
first refused, as | did not wish to take
the responsibility upon mys If, not being
great admirer of so-called Patent Med
ieines. However, some friends, who
happened to be in the store at the time
begged me to give the St Jacobs Oil t.
the sufferer; so we rubbed his feet well
with the Oil, and he took the remainder
with him. After nine days the same
man again came into my store, perfectly
well, and requested me to write to YOU
of this most wonderful cure; he also
stated, that two other persons had been
cured of Rheumatism by the same bot
tie which helped him.

The statement before the voorhees,
Committee of the Prosecuting Attorney
of Shelby county, Indiana, that the mob
which met the negro emigrant train at
the depot was composed of hoodlums is
on its face true. None but hoodlums
would conduct themselves as that mob
did. Yet there were rather prominent
:loodlums in the crowd or concerned in
organizing the crowd. There was, for
instance, the Democratic County Treas
urer, who took conspicuous part in the
proceedings, likewise Democratic ex-
County Auditor. In point of fact it was
prominent citizen affair of the genu-
inc Yazoo stripe. And the Prosecuting
Attorney did not feel called upon to take
action in the affair any more than would

sort of "frolic," you see.

A GREAT OLD SUNSET.

A GREAT OLD SUNSET.
What a stormful sunset was that of last
night. How glorious the storm, and how
splendid the setting of the sun. We do
not remember ever to have seen the like
on our round globe. The scene opened
in the West, with a whole horizon full
of golden interpenetrating lustre which
covered the foliage and frightened every
object int0 its own rich dyes. The col
ors grew deeper and richer until the
golden lustre was tranfused into a storm
cloud full Of finest lightning, which
leaped in dazzling zigzags all around
and over the city. The wind arose with
fury, the slender shrubs and giant trees
made fobeisance to its majesty. Some
even snapped before its force. The
strawberry beds and grass blots turned
up their whites" to see Zephyrus march
by. AS the rain came and the pools
formed. fnd the cutters hurried away.
thunder foared grandly and the fire bells
caught The excitement and rung with
hearty chorus. The South and East re-
csived the copious showers, and the
West all at once frightened up in long
polished belt of azure, worthy of a ST.
Gillian sky.
Presently a cloud appeared in the
azure belt in the form of castellated
city. Nbecame more vivid, revealing
forms Of peerless fanes and alabaster
temples, and glories rare and grand in
this mundane sphere 1t reminds us of
Wordsworth's splendid verse in his Ex-
cursion:
"The appearance instantaneously disclosed,
Was of 9 mighty city, boldly say,
A wilderness of buildings, sinking far,
And sell withdrawn in wondrous depth,
Far sinking into splendor without end"
But the city vanished only to give
place TO another isle. where the most
beautiful forms Of foliage appeared, i'm
agining paradise in the distant and
purified air. The sun wearied with the
elemental commotion, sank behind the
green plains of the West. The great
eye in Heaven" however, went not down
withoat dark brow hanging over its
departing light. The rich flush of the
unearthly light had passed, and the rain
had ceased, when the solemn church
bells pealed; the laughter of children,
out and joyous after the storm, is heard
with the carol of birds, while the forked
and purple weapon of the skies still
darted illumination around the Startling
cottage, trying to rival its angles and
leap into its dark windows.
Candles are lighted, the piano strikes
up, we feel it is good to have home
good to be on the earth when such reve-
lati0ns of beauty and power may be
made, and as we cannot refrain from re-
minding our readers of every thing won
derful in our city, we have begun and
ended our feeble etching of a sunset
which comes so rarely that its glory
should be committed to immortal type.

THE virtual killing Of the Reagan IN
ter-State comme rec bill in the Committe
on Commerce, is probably the last we
shall hear of any movement against rail-
way discrimination for some time to
come. While business of every kind is
so prosperous and profits so satisfactory,
the public do not stop to think of these
matters as they should. The time will
again come however, when the question
of discrimination will be thrust upon
Congress even more determinedly than
it has unsuccessfully been during the
last two or three years.

There has been an oratorical outbreak
in the Maine Legislature, in which one
Fusion member denounced the courts,
clergy, the legal profession and the As
sociated Press This is rather feeble
swiyel-cursing, after all, and on the Sand
Lots would be received with contempt.
