THE PHYSICIAN.

THE PHYSICIAN.
Ills work is honorable and glorious,
And his righteousness endureth forever"
"How Joyous and sunny his glance,
And his laugh is so gleesome and wild
Can do nothing now to enhance
The joy of my beautiful child?"
A light step that moment was heard
And the eyes of the mother grew bright,
When his voice like the song of bird,
Sweety. ,warbled--"Dear mother, goot
night"
Ere the morning had dawned in the sky,
fever was scorching his brain;
And glazed was the dark rolling eye,
And the fair brow contracted with pain.
With quivering lip the mother bent
O'erhim. her hope and joy;
And from her bursting heart was sent
Dear Doctor, Save my boy"
Calmly and gently his voice was heard.
Dear madam, weep no more;
pledge thee here my plightcd word,
Thy boy will restore.
I'm sure that can save thy child
His health will renew :"
That voice, so gentle, soft and mild
Like ewes refreshing dow,
Fell on the mothers heart like balm,
And dried the starting tear:
Again that throbbing heart grew calm,
Those cheering words to hear.
He left the room-a mothers prayer
a blessing cruved without alloy,
For him. who by his skill and care
Had saved her precious boy.
With happy smile he left that room;
But his task is not yet done:
For many will need his service soon;
And he sighed as he thought of one
The cottage door, with dropping vine,
Whose tendrils closely weave
\ blooming rose its sweets combine
TO bid the sufferer live,
The birds their joyous songs poured FORTH
When sunshine filled the air;
When all was bright, why should disease
Take up its dwelling there?
That low soft couch contains form
OF matchless beauty rare,
A gentle girl with pallid brow,
And dark and glossy hair.
Tho brilliant eye, whose siten lash
Dropped DER her pale, wan cheek
The alternate hand, the racking cough
What anguish do they speak?
A step and now the Doctors hand,
Is laid upon her own,
Dear Mary, why so sad to-day?
Where are your smiles all gomez"
trembling beam played DER her check;
For earth too pure, TOO swcetly fair
With accents low, she tried to speak,
To thank him for his care.
For oft a vigil he had kept
Beside that maiden's bed,
Had watched and prayed, while others slept
Though every hope had fed.
With saddened brow, he left that home,
But the maidens silent prayer
Was waited to a heavenly throne
And breathed his virtues there,

QUITTING A PIG.-Charles v, going to see
the cloister of the Dominicans at Vienna, fell
in with peasant upon the road who was
carrying pig. The noise being disagreeable
to the Emperor, he asked the peasant if he
had not learned the method ofmaking pig be
quiet The rustic confessed ingenuously that
he had not and added that he should be very
glad to become acquainted with it,

The peasant, finding that the emperor was
right, said
"You must have learned the trade much
longer than |, sir; for you understand it
great deal better"

CLOVER HAY FOR HoGs.-Let any farmer
try the experiment of cutting and curing n lot
of second-crop clover while the stalk is yet
green, or about the time it is fairly in bloom.

the use of his hogs in winter, and, if his

they will pick out the heads leaves and small
stems, and leave nothing but the coarest For

ficulty in agreeing with us that stock hogs re-

other stock, and therefore, should not be con-
fined exclusively to solid grain.

We wish to call the attention of
farmers to the fact that our Ohio State
Board of Agriculture is endeayoring
to get prompt, complete and accurate
statistics of the wheat crop of Ohio,
and approximate estimates on the 9TH

in each township, 400 in all, the ex-
act figures will be asked at the polls
Nov. ID from each farmer. as to his
acreage and yield for 1880, acreage
sowed for 1881, etc. Posters will be
furnished to each correspondent to
put up at the voting places to attract
the attention Of farmers and explain
exactly what is wanted, and to make
it plain that the information asked
has no relation whatever to politics or
to taxes, but will be collated and pub
lished for the benefit Of farmers and
the advancement Of the agricultural
interests of Ohio. The figures and
estimates of other crops will also be
given by these township correspond

retary Chamberlain will in the same
bulletin that presents the facts thus
gathered, furnish a carefully prepared
paper on Wheat culture in Ohio,

The Jack.Knife!

The award Of the jack-knife, for
the biggest liar, has been made. The
jack-knife was awarded to the Demo-
cratic historian (?) who wrote the ac-
count of Gen. Hancock riding calmly
along in front of his line of battle at
Gettysburg, under the concentrated
fire of $50 pieces of artillery, and a
strong line of Confederate Infantry
An iron man, under such a fire, would
have been blown to atoms, but
as the Democratic historian (?) proves
that Hancock rode leisurely through
it without receiving scratch, or with
out even his horse being touched, a
fair-minded people will readily agree
that the jack-knife has been rightful-
ly awarded.

A Ringing Address from the National re
publican Committee.

publican Committee.
New York, Oct. 15.-The Republi-
can National Committee has issued
the following address:
To the Republican Voters of the I'm
ion:
The elections of Tuesday last clear
ly show that with continued zeal and
systematic effort the Republican tri-
umph in November will be complete
and overwhelming. Our plurality in
Ohio is about $4,000, being gain Of
5000 over the exceptionally large plu-
rality Of 1879, while the election Of
fifteen of the twenty Congressman
gives us a gain OF six members. Our
plurality in Indiana reaches about
1000, being a gain Of $1,000 upon the
Democratic plurality Of 1878. In the
Legislature we have majority Of four
teen in contrast with a Democratic
majority of twenty-slx in the last Leg
islature, thus gaining a United States
Senator. Ofthe thirteen Congression-
al districts nine have been carried,
makinga gain of three members. The
result in each State, and especially in
Ohio, is the conclusive answer of the
people to the false and malignant as
saults upon the personal character of
our candidate for President, which
have thus far been the principal weap-
ons of our opponents, and have been
and shamelessly repeated
in the address this day published by

not attempt to defend the free trade
plank in the Democratic platform,
but only across the Scioto, in our

different. The Chillicothe Advertiser

While Republican politicians are hoodwinking

sumers, ought to remember that high tariff only
adds that much to the of such articles as
are affected. The Democrats, perhaps generally
would favor q tariff similar to that now have be-
