NO BITTERNESS.
The Quiet Way in Which Two Old
Gentlemen Discussed
Politics.

Father Lickshingle and Deacon
Radspinner walking down the street
together the other day, it was re-
marked that two such venerable
men were not often seen together
and people raised their hats TO
them as they passed along and
spoke to them reverently.
"There's entirely too much bitter
ness in the campaign, Deacon"
said Mr.. Lickshingle, land regret
it exceedingly. Now when we wuz
young men and took an interest in
politics, we had none of this ever
lastin' cst-haulin'."
'Indeed, we hadn't" acquiesced
Deacon Radspinner. Take Jack
sons campaign, for instance. There
wuz lively interest taken by both
parties, but there wuz none of yer
bullyraggin' like you see nowa-
days"
That's a fact, Deacon" said old
Lickshingle, "but between me and
you 1 never thought much of Jack
son."
"He wuz a mighty good man,
Lickshingle."
"He was small potatoes compared
to some men we have now, Dea-
con-"
''Who dye mean?' demanded the
deacon.
"Wen, there's Garfield" said
Lickshingle.
Garfield be DANCED. You know
mighty well, Lickshingle, he could
not have been 'lected hog grlve in a
hill-town in Jackson's day"
"He's a dan sight better man
than Hancock"
"Go slow, Lickshingle, go slow"
said the Deacon, somewhat agita
ted.
"Oh, 1 know what Pm talkin'
about" retorted Lickshingle, as he
stabbed the pavement spitefully
with his hickory cane. Hancock S
stoughton bottle, that's what
he is"
"Ah, what's Garfield2 Big guns,
what's Garfield? Didn't he lay a
cheap Soon sort of a pavement
around the Capitol and charge the
government 81 100000 for it2' and
the deacon's eyes blazed with in
dignation.
T'See here, deacon! Look at
your man Hancock's letter to Sher-
man. Didn't he try to blow up
Washington with glycerine? Say,
didn't he? Oh, l read the papers,
old man, an know what's a goin'
on"
"Hancock's a good an pure man.
Didn't he fight like a bulldog in
the war of the rebellion? Where
was Garfield skulkin' in the time OF
disaster? In Canada, by thunder
in CanadaI
"What was Hancock doin' with {
stilletto in his boot the night Lin
coin was murdered? Answer M
that? If Wilkes Booth had faile'
this Hancock was ready to hnisi
the job. Don't talk to me! Don
talk to mer'
"Its lier' howled the deacon
as he whirled around and face
Lickshingle on the street.
Its true as holy writ, and an!
mans a liar that says So" retorte'
Lickshingle, too much wrought a
to be particular his phraseology.
you're q baldheaded old scoun
drel," yelled the deacon.
you're an old leper, and ca
wipe up the ground with you,
howled Lickshingle, gripping hi
cane and advancing.
Friends jumped in and the tw
furious old men were dragged ava
in opposite directions. The de;
, con squirmed around in the arm
of his captor, shook his cane
, | Lickshingle and hIssed:

you really regretted my absence.
Last night, at Mrs. Evans party,

Pnwdernrno Powder.

To powder or not 20 powder is
question each woman must settle
for herself. A fine, fresh, pure skin
is possible for anybody whose
fesh has not been contaminated by
cosmetics, those who have begun
fancy they must keep on; but it's a
shame for mothers to allow their
fresh, sweet, lovely daughters, just
in the bloom of girlhood, to make
acquaintance with the powder box.
1t would be amazing if it were not
disgusting to see maids and mothers
powdering little CIR s-the rosiest
babies-in the dressing room be-
fore the opening of a dancing-room
ball, dredging them as q cook does
iolnt before roasting it. If these
foolish women knew how much
more beautiful the child was with
her sweet, fresh tint, they would
snare them till their rosebud
daughters were at least in full
blossom, and try first what fresh
az. else and pure water will do
Beware of any powder that con
tains bismuth, unless you are Will
ing to risk an aftercrop of purple
pimples.

THEMINISTER'S DAUGHTER.
BY JOHN GREENLKAF WHITTIER.

Atlantic for October.)
In the minister's morning sermon
He had told of the primal fall,
And how thenceforth the wrath Of God
Rested on each and all.
And how OF his will and pleasure,
All souls, save q chosen few,
Were doomed to the quenohless burning
And held in the way thereto.
Yet never by faiths unreason
A saintlier soul was tried,
And never harch old lesson
A tenderer heart belied.
And after the painful service
On that pleasant Sabbath day,
He walked with his little daughter
Through the apple bloom of May.
Sweet in the fresh green meadows
Sparrow and blsckbird sung;
Above him their tinted petals
The blossoming orchards hung.
Around on tte wonderful glory
The minister looked and smiled;
GLOW good is the Lord who gives US
These gifts from His hand, my child"
"Behold in the bloom of apples
And the violets in the sward,
A hint of the old lost beauty.
Of the Garden of the Lord"
Then up spake the little maiden,
Treading on snow and pink;
'EOh, Father! these pretty blossoms
Are very wicked, l think"
"Had there been no garden of Eden
There never had been fall;
And If never a tree had blossomed
God would have loved US all"
"Hush, childl' the father answered,
''By His decree man fell;
His ways are in clouds and darkness,
But lie doeth all things WELL.
"And whether by His ordaining
To us cometh good or i'll,
Joy or pain, OF light or shadow,
We must fear and love HIM still"
ooh, Ifear Himp' said the daughter,
"And try to love Him too;
But l wish He was good and gentle,
Kind and loving as you."
The minister groaned in spirit
AS the tremulous lips of pain
And wide, wet eyes uPlifted,
Questioned his own in vain.
Bowing his head he pondered
The words the little one;
Had he erred in his lifelong teachings
Had he wrong to his Master donef
To what grim and dreadful idol
Had he lent the holiest names
Did his own heart, loving and human,
The God of his worship shamei
And Iowl from the bloom and greennes
From the tender skies above,
And the face of his little daughter
He road lesson of love.
No moro as the cloudy terror
OF Sinai's mount of law,
Bat as Christ IN the Syrian lilies
The vision of God he saw.
And as when in the elefts of Horeb,
OF old was his presence known,
The dread Ineffable Glory
Was Infinite Goodness alone.
Thereafter his hearers noted
In his prayers tenderer strain,
And never the gospel of hatred
Burned on his lips again,
And the scoliing tongue was prayeriul,
And the blinded eyes found sight,
And hearts, as flint afofetime,
Grew soft in his warmth and light.

Grass is not only the cheapest
food for horses, cattle and sheep,
but for hogs also. Cheap pork can
be raised with corn alone. limo
thy, red clover, and many other va
rieties too numerous to mention,
furnish cheap grazing for hogs.
Every farmer should make his own
pork, and to do it cheaply, except
in some exceptional cases, requires
grass and clover. Keep the nose OF
the hog shouted, cutting clear to the
bone, and you will prevent roofing
This, instead Of being an injury TO
the animal, is a positive benefit
The hog that does the most roofing
is the one that is always poorest
Cut away the muscle from the nose
and the hog will not kill itself root

A Colored Republican Senator to the
Front.

In the closing moments of the General
Assembly, of South Carolina just ad-
iourned, Hon. Bruce FL. Williams, the
colored Senator from Georgetown county,
bore testimony to the consideration he
had received from the officers and Sena-
tors as follows: Let the Radical malig-
nants who would fain impress their
willing hearers with the belief that the
negro in the Southern States under
Democratic control has no rights which
the white men respect, and that the
poor black man is worse slave than be-
fore freedom read this-the language of
respectable and intelligent colored
man, O member of a body in which his
party is so slightly represented as to
amount to almost no representation nu-
merically, and in which but one other
colored Republican face serves as re-
minder of the days of misrule in South
Carolina:
Mr.. President, in closing my term as a
member of the Senate, ! desire to express
TO you my sense of the ability and digni-
ity and fairness with which you have dis
charged the duties of its presiding Off
cer, and to say that no member of this
body, where all are your friends, mas a
more grateful appreciation ofthe kindness
and courtesy and patience which you have
always displayed towards all. I desire,
also, to express, through you, to the men,
bers of the Senate generally, my ac-
knowledgmeuts of the consideration
which they have invariably shown me.
AT all times and on all occasions, wheth-
er in the Senate or committee room,
they have always heard me as q brother
Senator, equal with themselves, and have
never given me any cause to feel that
they respected me any the less because
of my color or my political faith. as
sure you that I shall always have the
pleasantest recollections of my associates
in this body, and shall always entertain
the liveliest desires for their health and
happiness.-Columbia Register.

"A fashionable garment can now be
made by taking your husbands ulster,
dying it brown, cutting off the breast
pockets, gathering it behind and sewing
ten cents worth of black ruching around
the neck. With one of these on middle
sized women can sail into fve-cent
store with the air of Duchess.-Hhaca
Journal.
"A wealthy man who lived in Chss-
terfeld. Va, had two sons, Tom and Jack,
both fond of playing poker, but Jack was
very sharp at the game and Tom very. fiat.
When the old man died he left Tom $780,
600 and Jack only 81, 900 but be explain
ed at the foot of his will that 81 900 was
just stake enough for Jack to win every
thing that Tom had, and it was a wise pro-
vision, for so it turned out.

No MORE HARD TIMEs.-If you will
stop spending so much on fine clothes, rich
food and style, buy good, healthy food,
cheaper and better clothing; get more real
and substantial things of life every way,
and especially stop the foolish habit of EN-
ploying expensive quack doctors or using
SO much of the vile humbug medicine that
does you only harm, but put your trust IN
that simple, pure remedy, Hop Bitters )
that cures always at trifling cost, and you
will see good times and have good health.
