THE ARMY OF SPRING.

Tens of thousands, and ten times ten,
Clad in yellow, and purple, and pink
Little folks marching like stalwart men
Up from the dark To the>day-tlmt's brink.
(Can it be dark where such robes are made?
Surely the looms in the light must be
That colored these uniforms shade by shade,
And fashioned the rare embroideryD
Wherefore the rising-can any one say
OF hosts that rush from the realm of mig
Letting no hindrances bar the way,
Bursting upon us with joy bedight?
Tens of thousands, and ten times ten,
Vested in violet blue aud gold
Little folks marching like stal~art men,
Up through the winters rime and mold.
Come they To tell us that down below,
There where the baby lies hid in the flowers
Down in the hollow, under the snow,
Is better world than this world OF ours!
Tens of thousands, and ten times ten,
Bright In scarlet and green and white
Little folks marching like stalwart men,
Muster before us princely sight:
Carnations floating and flags outspread,
Lily bells ringing and censers swung,
Bonnetted, plumed, and with slippered tread
The sweetest cavalcade ever sung!
What is their mission? Which of us knows,
Save that they bless US, and pass away,
Destined to scatter the seed that grows
And blooms in battalions here to-day?

A Lean For Life.

Just below the Kanawha Falls, in
West Virginia, writes a correspondent OF
the Louisville CouTjeT-J OuTnal, is on over
hanging rock of immense size, jutting
out about one hundred feet over the
seething whirlpool, and about the same
height above. This was once the scene
of a remarkable adventure. The Indians
were in hot pursuit of Van Bibber, q set
tier and man of distinction in those
early times. He was hard pressed, and,
all access to the river below and above
being cut off, he was driven to this jut-
ting rock, which proved to be the jump
ing-off place for him. He stood on the
rock, in full view of the enemy above and
below, who yelled like demons at the
certainty of his speedy capture. He stood
up boldly, and with his rife kept them
at bay. AS he stood there, he looked
across the river-saw his friends-his
wife with her babe in her arms, all help
less to render assistance. They stood as
if petrifed WITH terror and amaze
ment. She cried at the top of her
voice, "Leap into the river and meet mew
Laying her babe on the grass, she seized
the oars and sprang into the skif alone
As she ncared the middle of the river,
her husband saw the Indians coming in
full force, and yelling like demons.
'Wife, wite" he screamed, "I'm coming;
drop down little lower" With this he
sprang from his crag and descended like
an arrow into tue water, feet foremost.
The wife rested on her oars a moment to
see him rise to the surface, the little ca
noe foatingilike cork, bobblng about on
the boiling flood. 1t was an awful NOM
ent; lit seemed an age TO her; would he
ever rise9 Her earnest gaze seemed to
penetrate the depths of the water, and
She darted her boat further down the
stream. He rose near her; in moment
the canoe was alongside of him, and she
then helped him to scramble into it amid
a shower OF arrows and shot that the Daf-
fled Indians poured into them. The dar-
ing wife did not speak one word; her hus-
band was more dead than alive, and all
depended upon her strength being main
tanned till they could reach the bank.
This they did Just where she had started,
right where the babe was still lying,
growing and laughing. The men pulled
the skiff high up on the sand, and slowly
the wife arose and helped to lift Van
Bibber to his feet. He could not walk,
but she laid him down by the babe, and
then, seating herself, she wept wildly,
just as any other woman would have done
under the circumstances. That grand
father, and that rock is called Van Bib
bers's Rock to this day.

PREACHING IN TEXAS.
The Auditors Throw out Iunuendoes.

Texas preachers are said to be very &C.
centric, and their mild unaturalnesss
has given to rise a great many remarks
and a few stories. The following mar
rative was told us con6dentially by a
slanderer:
A minister arose before large audi
ence, took his text, and began preaching.
A brisk firing of pistols began on the
church.
Brother Deacon said the minister,
81 believe those fellows are casting IN
situations on me. In fact I am very
nearly convinced" he continued, as a
piece of plaster fell from the wall close
to his head.
II think parson, that it refers to some
one else, replied the deacon.
The minister raised tumb!er of wa
ter, and was in the act of applying it to
his lips, when the glass fell shattered by
shot.
"This is an innpendo no longer" said
the minister, wiping the water from his
vest. s'This Is what I term an unmis-
taxable thrust. The congregation will
please sing while go out and investigate
this matter. Is there another preacher
in the house?'
"Yes," said a man, throwing down a
stick which he had been whiting, aris-
ing and pulling at the waist of his pants
like man who had just Strengthened up

eyes"
"Uniimber.''
The whiting preacher handed over
large Remington pistol, which the insult
ed preacher took, and drawing one from
his belt, started out. After going out,
there was an immediate improvement in
the firing business. It was decidedly more
llfelike, 1nasmuch as the deacons sat
working their fingers. After while the
minister returned, and placing an ear and
the nostril and half of nose on the
pulpit remarked, "He that hath ears to
hear, let him behave himself. The SER
mon then proceeded without any inter
ruption.

THE QUEEN AND THE BaGGAR's CHILD

Silk and diamonds and trailing lace,
Naughty carriages and fair, proud face;
Out from the palace, towering high
Grand and gray meath the bending sky;
Der the lawn, with its carpet green,
Lightly stepping came Austria's Queen,
Flashing gems in the summer SUR,
Tender mother and Queen in one.
Jewels CLEAN OF her royal hands,
Clasp her arms with their shining bands,
Sparkle and glow where the sunbeams fall {;
But the most precious OF them all
The nurse is holding with tender care
The royal baby, rosy and fair;
Pressing fond kisses on cheek and brow,
The Queen is only a mother now.
Down the lawn in its shadow deep
A beggar woman lies asleep.
Hunger, poverty, pain and care,
Darken the face once young and fair;
There by the wayside seeding rest,
Clasping babe upon her breast.
Its hungry wall across the green
Stirs the heart OF the mother Queen.
Down on the green grass, kneeling low,
Barring her bosom as white as snow,
Laying the child without name
Where only royal babes have lain,
Feeding it from her own proud breast,
Hungry, starving-ahi there's the test.
Mother-lOve spans the chasm wide;
Queen and station must stand aside.

Texas.

Though we talk of Texas being an
"empire," about the vast territory en-
bracing 374, 1856 square miles about; its
17,000,0 900 of acres, we do not in all this
get so clear and definite an idea of its
extent as we shall if we take thin
piece Of paper, with a map of the United
States before us, lay the paper over the
State of Texas, mark out It's bounda-
ries, trim the paper down to the bound
airy lines, and then put one end, say on
Chicago, and swing the other end of the
paper out to the vicinity of Boston OF,
with one end of the paper on Chicago,
swing the other down to New Orleans !;
OR still further, holding one end ON at
Chicago, swing the other out to Denver,
noting carefully how much territory,
how many States it covers completely at
each move, and we begin to get by this
process some correct idea of how much
land there is in 1900, 900 of acres.

A RIGHTEOUS REBUKE.

The following words used by Judge Hib-
bard, OF Iowa, recently in passing sentence
upon some liquor dealers in that state,
seem little harsh, coming from the bench
OF one Of our courts but there is no man who
can deny the truthfulness or the righteous
ness Of the rebuke. In the near future we
will all be amazed at the way we, as good
citizens allow the liquor advocates to tram
pie down and sneer at our sacred laws. The
enormity Of the Oifense will dawn upon us
when it has become less common. We
ought TO allow triiing with law no longer
Here is what the Judge said
While there are greater crimes known to
the law, which are punishable with great
severity, there are none which involve
more Of those qualities known as despica-
BILE meanness and audacity, than the sell
ing Of Intoxicating liquors.
There is something in the taking Of hu-
man life by violence, so instantaneous that
ii shocks and terrifes the minds OF all /; and
yet we look upon the man who takes hu-
man life quite as surely, but by a slow, lin
gering process, il not without condemna-
tion, at least without horror. You who
stand before the court for sentence, are in
every moral sense murderers, and you are
within the spirit, il not the letter. guilty
OF manslaughteri for the law says, whoev-
or accelerates the death Of human being
unlawiully, is guilty Of the crime. Your
bloated victims upon the witness stand,
and who undoubtedly committed perjury
to screen you from the law, not only a6ud-
antly testify that you are acceleTating
death, but that you are inducing men to
commit still greater crimes than your
own.
You still maintain the appearance OF re-
speetability; but how morally leprOus and
scrOfulous you are inwardly, the ruin, pow
erty and idleness, which you are indict-
ing upon this community, declare as from
the housetops. You are living in idleness
and eating the bread Of orphans, watered
with widows tears. You are steathily
killing your victims and numbering the
peace and industry OF the community, and
thereby converting happy Industrious
homes into misery, thriftless poverty, and
rags. You are sowing the seeds of ignor-
ance, and want among the generations to
come.
Anxious wives and mothers watch and
pray in tears, nightly, with desolate hearts
hearts, for the coming home Of your vic
times whom you are Turing with the wiles
and smiles OF the devil into midnight de-
bauch0ry.
In fiue, one can have no adequate con-
ception Of a cataract until he sees Niagara,
nor OF the terrible fury and grandeur Of a
storm in mid.ocean until he has witnessed
one: so no one can know the utter degrada-
tion and total deprAvity to which his spe-
oies can be brought, until he looks upon
the desolate ruin caused by this detestable
traffic.
You are persistent, defiant law breakers,
and shamelessly boast that in defiance Of
law and moral sense Of the community,
you will continue in your wicked and
criminal practices.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
AUSPICES OF REPUBLICAN, SUCCESS CHEAP
DEMOCRATIC CoNFDENCE-GENERAL GAR
FIELD AS A MAN AND AS A STATESMAN
ELECTS THE PRAISE or HIS ENEMIES.

The best auspices of Republican success
that can givO you are that we are work
ing for it, and that we seem to realize that
success is to be attained only by work.
Men without hope do not spend time and
money, as Republicans, both committees
and individuals, are doing now, and the
best augury for the realization Of hope
is the energy put forth for its achievement.
During the week have conversed with a
number Of prominent office holders, whose
duties as government agents take them to
all parts of the North and West find
them all hopeful OF the election Of Gar
field, and with reason for the hope that is
in them, but they, one and all, agree that
the race is to bo very close, and that moth
ing but the most careful management in
bringing every Republican into line will
insure victory.
1t cannot be denied that the Democrats
are very confident, but confidence proves
nothing, and frequently avails defeat, as
we have seen again and again in our polit-
ical history. The French were very conf
dent when they started on to Berlin in the
late war, and the Democrats were equally
confident when they inaugurated the war
Of the late rebellion. Meetings, speeches,
professions, and eleyating poles surmount-
ed by ROSTERS do not count like the quiet
canvass that appeals to individual voters
in the quiet Of their homes, with the con-
yincing argument and warnings which po.
litical history and the political outlook fur
nishes every patriot
James A. Garfield represents the best
ideas Of the Republican party and Of the
Republic, In the prime of life and man
hoods vigor, erudite, we'll read in the his
tory Of other countries, aud profoundly ac-
quainted, even to minutia with all the de-
tails Of our governmental system, he will
bring to the administration OF national af-
fairs such intelligent insight us has not
before been known in the Executive office.
Then, there is no one who has more ex-
tensive and intimate acquaintance with
public men, or who will be more compe
tent to select the right man for the place
In all the numerous appointments under ex-
ecutive control. While his Republicanism
has never been questioned, his candor and
liborality have compelled the esteem OF his
political opponents, and the most promi-
nent Democrats who have been associated
with him in Congress, have given express
sion to their admiration Of the noble attri-
butes Of his mind and heart
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.
