Go. tell it to Jesus each joy and each woe;
Go tell him each trial, each want and each care
No home is too humble, no calling too low,
For the love of the Saviour to find its way there
Go. tell /. TO Jesus and pray for His aid;
As man speaks to man to the " son of Man
Why art thou so fearful? 0, be not afraid,
For strong is thy helper tho thou art so weak
Go. tell it to Jesus, whatever it.be
lie is ready 10 help 1--WE trust but his love,
And this sorrow or pain which brings trouble
Is known to the Friend OF the fTicndlcss above.
Go tell ii 70 Jesus; He grieyys with thy gricfi
And II tilou art happy lie JOYS i'm thy joy:
Ills comforts alone give thee lasting rciiet
And the pleasures OF holiness nave no alloy.
Go. tell it to Jesus. rorr cut tiy full heart;
pruv on. nothing doubling for Christ bids thee
pray;
And. sinful and wayward and poor tho thou
art,
Refreshed from on high thou shalt 90 on thy

A lecture on stoyepipes.

The Times-Review has the following
on stovepipes, which is as applicable to
Winnemucca as to Tuscarora: ''The
season for rigging up stoves has arrived
and it stands everybody in hand to take
every preeaution against accidents re-
sulting from prolific sources OF fire acct
dents, defective and badly arranged
stovepipes. They should always be
surrounded by tin or iron plate, to a
safe distance from the ceiling whether
cloth or wood, the pipe should be
strongly riyeted between the ceiling
and roof and should protrude above the
latter a sufficient distance to insure
against danger from sparks. Stoves
and pipes which have not been taken
down during the Summer should be
subjected to thorough examinations to
see that they have not become displaced
or rusted i'll such manner as to render
them dangerous. Probably nine-tenths
of the fires in mining towns originate
from defective stovepipes.

A Genfie Hint.

In our style of climate, with its sud
den changes of temperature-rain, wind
and sunshine often intermingled in a
single day--it is no wonder that our
children, friends and relatives are so
frequently taken from us by neglected
colds, half the deaths resulting directly
from this cause. A bottle of BosCHEE's
GERMAN SYRUP kept about your home
for immediate use will prevent serious
sickness, large doctors bill, and per-
haps death, by the use of three or four
doses. For curing consumption, hem
orrhages, pneumonia, severe coughs,
Group, or any disease of the throat or
lungs, its success is simply wonderful,
as gour druggist will tell you. GERMAN
SYRUP is now sold in every town and
village on this continent. Sample bot
ties for trial, 10 cents. Regular size,
- cents. Positively sold by all first
class druggists in the United States.

AN ASYLUM FOR THE INSANE.

A Suggestion relative to the State Uniyer-
sity.
A correspondent suggests that the
building now occupied by the State
University, at Elko, be fitted up for an
asylum for the insane. He argues that
the University is not a success, the
people of Nevada prefering TO send their
children to private schools to be edu-
Gated, but that in justice to the citizens
OF Elko, who built the University, by
private subscription, it ought to be used
for an insane asylum- An expenditure
of $20,0 900, in enlarging the building
and making necessary arrangements for
the accommodation Of the patients,
would be sufficient, whereas. if new
asylum is erected it viii cost at least
100000 which tbs State can not af-
ford to spend for that purpose at pres
cnt.
Now, let the Elko papers give their
views of this proposition, that the Leg
islature may know how TO act on the
matter when it assemblies.

SPECIAL LOCALS.


AYERS CATHARTIc PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ia
tions, proves them the best and most
effective purgative pill that medical sci
ence can devise. Being purely vegeta-
BILE, no harm can arise from their use.
In intrinsic value and curative powers
no other pills can be compared with
them, and every person, knowing their
virtues, will employ them when needed.
They keep the system in perfect order,
and maintain in healthy action the
whole machinery of life. Mild, search
ing and efectual, they are specially
adapted to the needs of the digestive
apparatus, arrangements Of which they
prevent and cure, if timely taken. They
are the best and safest physic to en-
ploy for children and weakened consti-
buttons, where mild but efiectual
cathartic is required. 1y-4
