POETRY.
"Aid Yourself, and God VI iil
Aid YOu."

@Aid yourself, and God will aid you"
Is a saying that hold
Should be written not in letters
Wrought of silver or of gold,
But upon our heats be craven,
A command from God in heaven.
'ris the law of Him who made you
Aid yourself and God will aid you.
Aid yourself-who will not labor
All his wants of life to gain,
But relies upon his neighbOr,
Finds that he relies in vain.
TIL you've done your utmost, never
Ask helping hand, nor ever
Let the toilful man unbraid you
Aid Yourself and God will aid you.
Aid yourself-you know the fable
OF the wheel sunk in the road;
How the carter was not able
BY his prayers to move the load
Till, urged by some more wise behOlder,
He moved the wheel with lusty shoulder
Doyour own work-your Maker bade you
Aid yourself, and God will aid you.
1t is well to help brother
Or sister when in need,
But believe me, there's another
Not-to-be-forgottcn creed.
Better lore did never science
Teach TO man that self reliance.
'Tis the law of Him who made you
Aid yourself, and God will aid you.
Aid yOurself-be not like ivy
Clinging still to wall or tree,
That can only rise by striving
For support increasingly.
Rather be the oak, maintaining,
Heart and branches self-sustaining;
For this 1.-THE Great Task-Master" made
you
Aid yourself, and God will aid you.

medicine to cure her of sick headache
and neuralgia which had made her mis-

attack thereafter, 1t was administered
to her with such good results, that she
continued its use until cured, and made

induced twenty-five of the best families

THE ADVERTISING AGENCIES - The stand
taken by the APPEAL against the swindling Of
advertising agencies continues to be a fruitful
topic of discussion among the newspaper fra
terni:y. The following sensible endorsement
comes from the Santa Barbara Gal Press,
edited by R. D. Bogart;
The Carson APPEAL is going for the Eastern
advertising agencies, in style that the coun-
try press ought unanimously to endorse. OF
all the monumental frauds, sublime cheats,
and unqualified business charlatans on all the
earth's surface, these gentry take the lead.
The present publisher of the Press fonnd on
taking hold of the paper some of these cast
iron contracts on hand Those of them that
were deemed good, were accepted, but the
others were repudiated. And We have thrown
into the waste basket all the absurd PROPOSE
tons that have since come to Us, land shall con-
tinue to do SO. If an advertiser at the East or
elsewhere wants to hire these columns, he
must send for our rates, and upon learning
them remit at least portion of the money IN
advance before We will listen to him. We
have done with 'ayents" and their links and
their discounts and 'commissi""s, and
ridiculous contracts and unpaid bills The
whole thing is fraud, and newspaper publish
ers ought to combine and stamp it out.

The Exchange need not bother itself about
the whereabouts of these people. They are

ENDORSEMENT OF UDGE BEATTY In refer
relative 20 the Supreme Judgship, which ap
peared in the APPEAL, the Times Reuieao says:
We do not know that Colonel Taylor is the
railroad company's candidate or that they have
yet selected any particular person upon whom
to make their fight: but we had information
from reliable sources that they intended to
defeat Judge Beatty if possible, and we be-
lieve that it is still their intention to do 1t
will make no difference whether the candidate
which the railroad company supports is pledg
ed to their interests or not. The people can
never be convinced to the contrary, for it will
be impossible to make them believe that a
corporation like the one above mentioned
would make fight for a candidate for that
position from motives of patriotism or without
expecting sonnet hing in return. Their active
support would insure the defeat of any person
whomight be nominated, and if Colonel Bob
has been unfortunate enough to have unwit-
tingly become their choice ne will share the
fate Of poor 'Tray" by suffering martyrdom
on account of his evil associations. In regard
to Judge Beatty not approving the articles,
relative to this matter published in the Times
Rerieu, if he does not we are mistaken in the
man and he certainly is not fit for the position
he occupies, for their entire tenor was to the
effect that candidate for Supreme Judge run
ming in the interest of, or put forward by,
railroad corporation would and ought to be
defeated. Our articles were not written in
Judge Beattys interest but in the interest of
the people of the State. The writer recognizes
in the gentleman an able and upright Judge,
but no political sympathy exists between them
and their private relations have never been
such as would naturally inspire the champion
ship of his cause from personal feelings.
