HELLEvUE. Kx.

Services in the M. E. Church were well
attended yesterday. =.
The Temperance meeting last night
was well attended, and several good
speeches listened to.
Mr.. James German, of Rhensford, had
his left arm badly sprained few days
ago. 1t is now improved very much.
Mrs. Brown, of Louisville, KY, is
spending the week with her daughter,
Mrs. George Blakeney, OF Center street.
Miss Ella Straeffer arrived from Louis
on Saturday night, ON visit 70 her cous.
in, Miss Alice Buckman, and other
friends. Miss Straefer, will remain during
the Festival.
Will and Charley Anspaugh paid a
visit to their father, Mr.. Jas. l.. Ans
paugh, at Lexington, yesterday. Many
are OF the opinion that Will feels kind
of queer toward young damsel in that
city. Hence the visit.
The Good Templars initiated three
candidates Saturday night, and received
four applications for membership. The
good of the order programme is one of
the best features OF che Lodge. Prof.
McGinnis, l.. d. of the Dayton Lodge,
commenced lecture on "The History Of
the World" He will devote twenty
minutes to the subject each meeting.
This new departure promises to be very
interesting.
1t was funny to see a man from Gin.
cinnati hitch his horse and buggy at
Wenderoth's saloon yesterday morning,
and then try in vain to get in the saloon,
while Good Templar stood close by
with copy of the Sunday Law, which
he brought from his inside vest pocket and
showed the Cincinnatian, who then de-
parted with countenance which seemed
to denote that he had swallowed drug
store, clerk and all. .....
RIPLEY, o.

The brilliant little propellers, Morning
Star and Clipper, run regular daily

five feet, causing his death in a few
hours. The owner and his little son mar
rowly escaped by jumping out of tn
wagon.

sentiment and Sense.

Hope is such a bait it covers any
hook. -.-..r
From the lowest depth there is patti
to the loftiest height.
Conscience is the voice of the soul; the
passions are the voice of the body.
All other knowledge is hurtful tt
him who has not honesty and good ma
ture.
A merry heart doeth good like med.
icine; but a broken spirit drieth the
bones.
Let no man presume to give advice to
others that has not given good counsel
to himself. =
Circumstances form the character
but, like petrifying matters, they harden
while they form.
Hatred is so durable and obstinate
that reconciliation on siek-bed is a
sign of death.
When one has no design but to speak
plain truth, he may say great deal in
Q very narrow compass.
The universe is but one great city
full of beloved ones, divine and human,
by nature endeared to each other.
Youth will never live to age unless
they keep themselves in breath with ex-
ercise and in heart with joyfulness.
The very Affections of our earthly pill
grimage are presages of our future glo-
ry, as shadows indicate the sun.
The beloved Of the Almighty are the
rich who have the humility of the poor,
A. % q N lr0i
ity of the rich.
Life is made up of little things, in
which smiles and kindness given habit
ually are what win and preserve the
heart and secure comfort.
Self-devotion is but aform of generos-
ity; the generosity of those who give
themselves, having nothing more and
nothing better to give, and belongs
equally to the nobler natured of both
sexes.
Tt is well enough to humble, but it is
possible to boast of your humility until
it sours into the worst kind OF self-pride.
There is hardly virtue in the calendar
which a man Will not lose if he talks
much aboutit.
Whatever your sex or position, life is
a battle in which you are to show your
pluck, and woe be to the eowardl-
Whether passed on bed of sickness or
in the tented field, is is ever the same
fair flag, and admits of no distinction.
Without earnestness no man is ever
great. or does really great things. He
NAV be the cleverest of men; he may be
brilliant, entertaining, popular, but he
will want weight. No sOul-moving pic
ture was ever painted that had not in it
depth of shadow.

Ye GIeomy Days.


Hasten away, ye sad and gloomy days
more bright
o melt, We SHOWS that to the hill-tops
clingi EHI
o Winter, vanish from our weary sight
The bud is sleeping meath the frozen
earth;
We long for days when it shall pierce
the mold,
And, nourished by the springtime sun
ard show'r,
Its beauty timidly for US unfold.
We long once more to see in em'rald
garb
Clad as of yore, the barren, shiv'ring
trees;
To see fair Nature dry her tearfnl eyes !;
To feel our brows famed by the springs
soft breeze.
We cry unto the Sun, "come nearer,
thou,
And warm the Earth; she's child unto
the heart.
She lives but in thy smile; be gracious
And unto her some warmth and life
impart.
"Look thou upon the brooklets icy
chains,
And lol they'll vanish, and the brook be
free
To gaily dance along its pebbly route,
And sing its song of joy and thanks to
thee"
And ohi we long for those sweet times
to come
When from our hearts shall melt the
SHOWS of grief
When up shall spring in beauty as ofold,
The bud of Hope, which now lies cold
beneath. w
We long for days when on-us, as of yore,
The Sun of Happiness shall shed his ray,
And chains that bind, will melt, cen as
the brooks,
And vanish, as the night before the day.
Faith Walton.

POETRY.
The spiders Lesson.

A tyrant in my border dwells
In Austrian black and gold;
Wrought all in silver are his cells,
Fine spun, thousand fold.
His dwelling has no dingy roof,
Nor dismal underground:
The sunlight glides its slender woof
On fragrant bushes bound.
And at his levee, every morn,
Such brilliants do appear,
As ne'er in any court were worn
BY Christian monarch dear.
No prison dungeon has this wretch
Where victims, out of sight,
; His cruel jealousy may fetch
And keep in hopeless night.
Yet subtle stratagems he springs
On harmless passers-by,
Winds his soft silk about their wings,
And hangs them up to die.
1 came to sweep his work away
With swift, impatient hand;
DuI tucIo Tic iCcSOn VI SuC uoy
He teaches, as l stand.
The tyrant Luxury doth so
Our winged souls entwine,
And bind us fettered in a show,
To mock the free sunshine.
The suble web afar I'll leave
OF flattering deceit;
The gorgeous spider shall not weave
His fetters for my feet.
Theeye that views the heavens in faith,
The hand with justice armed,
Can see the snare that binds to death,
And scatter it, unharmed.
Julia Ward Howe.

The Kitchen school.

There is a kitchen school in Boston at
which the children are taught to sing as
they work Here is the bed-making
song:
When you wake in the morning,
At the dawning,
Throw off the bedding and let it all air
Then shake up the pillows,
In waves and in billows,
And leave them near windows, if the
day is quite fair.
For beds made in hurry,
A fret and a hurry,
Are always unhealthy and musty, It's
sure;
But left for an airing,
Painstaking and caring,
And one must sleep sweetly, to know it
is pure.
The rules for bed-making,
If ever forsaking,
You list to the careless and hurry them
through.
They'll soon grow so matted,
So harsh and so fiatted,
You'll wish yeu had listened, and kept
them quite new.

A Clever Trick.

A negro was halted by a rundown
white man with bad kink in his left
eye, and asked if he intended to visit the
fair.
"Yes, sah-Ize gwine up dar at least
fo' times" was the reply.
"Boy, are you up to snuff ?" whisper
ed the stranger.
"Well, sab, knows trick or two"
"Good-I thought You did. Now
then, want ten cents to get drink, and
I'll tell you how you can make your
way through any of the gates without
the least trouble"
Wouldn't be cotched ?"
"Not bit of it. I'll warrant you to
60 through without word, and 1 only
want ten cents for telling you how.
wouldn't give it away to anybody but a
sharp, keen man like you"
"Well, I'll take dat in," said the negro,
as he handed over dime. "Now, den,
how kin pass de gates ?"
The white man put his mouth close to
the others ear and replied:
Z PAY 'em fifty centsr'
1t would have been a pretty even
fight, but an officer came along and
squelched it in the blossom.

THE cause of the Tay disaster is plain
enough. The bridge was but fifteen feet
wide. 1t was from the water to the top
of the iron work 13S feet high. Owing
to the narrowness of the bridge, the iron
pillars supporting it were close together.
The wind was blowing in gusts from go
to 80 miles per hour. The iron works of
the bridge was made as open as possible,
SO as to offer the least practical resist
ance to the wind. When the train came
upon the bridge the additional resist
once to the tornado toppled it over.
