The returns from the county
show that the democrats in Knox
vile, especially, as we'll as in vari"
Gus portions of the county, conferred
their whole energies to the success
of Mr.. Anderson. While the contest
between Gossett and Anderson is
the closest in the history of the
county, Swan beats Smith by nearly
a thousand majority. In fact, we
met very few democrats who aps
peared to take the slightest interest
in Smiths election. We met
scores of them who were
enthusiastic for Anderson, and
were ready to work and
evidently to spend their money for
him, but not so with Smith. We
have not been able to understand
why this is so. Mr.. Smith, while
we opposed his election, is a very
clever gentleman and very we'll quail
fled for the duties of the office he
sought. He may derive comfort
from the support his party gave him,
but if he does, we would not be al
all surprised to see him trying to
extract blood from a turnip.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

The principal article in the British
Quarterly Review for July, just repub-
lished by the Leonard Scott Publishing
Co., Al Barclay street, New York, are !:
Father Curci's New Translation Of
the Gospels" Religion and Morali-
ty," "Evolution Viewed in Relation
to Theology" and Inspiration" The
number of this Review for October.
1879, under the heading 'The Vatican
and Civilization" contained an &C.
count Of Father Curci and his expul-
sion from the Company of Jesus, and
the present article announces the APP
pearance of new version of the New
Testament by that celebrated writer,
but confines its comments mainly to
the preface, which explains the meth
| cd pursued in the preparation of the
translation and notes, and sets forth
| the state of things in the Romish
| Church which has rendered has work
| urgently necessary.
"Religion and Morality" aims to in
| vestigate the nature of the different &c
| between the religious and the moral
sense, and to determine whether NOR
| aIity can be so independent of religion
as to be secure of preservation without
it's sanction.
Evolution Viewed in relation to
Theology" is a review of habit and in
telligence by J. ]. Murphy. The
writer of the article does not propose
to discuss the general theory of evolu-
ton, but limits himself to pointing
out the sig nificance of the modification
of Darwin's theory by the author. Mr..
| Murphy considers that the process OF
evolution can not be adequately &C
counted for by natural selection ~
that further agency-an "Organizing
intelligence"-is required.
The article on "Inspiration" is in-
tended to elucidate the question

the Christian now stands, protesting
to hold in his hand the Word of God,
and appealing TO the world around
him to accept the message of life cloth

Why Don't You Go On?

A prominent Congregational clergyman,
formerly resident here, had a somewhat
novel experience at funeral not long since
The deceased was an old member of the
church over which the clergyman ministered,
but his son and heir was a pronounced
Episcopalian, so averse to Congregational
methods that he sent word to the clergyman
that he should insist upon the use of the
Episcopal burial service at his fathers
funeral. The clergyman replied that he
should gladly comply with the wishes of the
family, but to make assurance doubly sure
the heir sent him prayer.book with note
to the effect that he had marked such pas
sages as he wished used at the funeral.
When the funeral was held the clergyman
rose and read from the prayer-book such
passages of holy writ as are embraced in the
Episcopal funeral service and then seated
himself. People waited and then moved
about uneasily. The sexton, with creaking
boots, appeared and whispered " Is there to
be no prayer ?" al have done all that was
requested" said the clergyman, while people
rose and began to go out, whereat the heir
came down stairs and hastened to the clergy.
man with, "Why don't you go on Z" 81
have read all you Marked" said the min
lister, producing the prayer-book and show
ing the gentleman that he had omitted to
mark any prayers. For goodness sake,
please offer prayer then," said the con-
founded churchman whereat the clergyman
at once rose and offered one of his own ex-
temporaneous prayers appropriate to the oc-
casion. If it is ever permitted for man to
to be complacent at funeral, it is to be
supposed that the worthy clergyman was
complacent on that occasion.--Letter in The
Springfield Republican.

Mans Age.

Few men die of age. Almost all die of
disappointment, passion mental or bodily
toll, or accidents. The passions kill men
sometimes, even suddenly. The common
expression choked with passion has little
exaggeration in 1t, for even though not sud-
denly fatal, strong passions shorten life.
Strongbodied men often die young-weak
men live longer than the strong, for the
strong use their strength and the weak have
none to use. The latter take care of them.
selves, the former do not. As it is with the
body, 80 it is with the mind and temper.
The strong are apt TO break, or, like the can
die, to run, the weak to burn out. The in
ferior animals, which live temperate lives,
have generally their prescribed number of
years. The horse lives twenty-five; the OK
fifteen or twenty the lion about twenty
the dog ten or twelve the rabbit eight /; the
| guinea pig six or seven years. These num-
| bers all bear similar proportion TO the time
the animal takes to grow to its full size
But man, of the animals, is one that seldom
lives this average. He ought to live hun.
dred years, according to physical law, fol
five times twenty are one hundred, but in
stead OF that, he scarcely reaches on an av
erage four times his growing period the
cat six times; the rabbit even eight time:
the standard of measurement. The reason
is obvious-man is not only the most irreg
ular and the most Incorporate, but the most
laborious and hard worked Of all the ami
mails. He is also the most irritable of al
animals and there is no reason to believe
though we cannot tell what an animal Sc
cretly feels, that, more than any other ami
NAL, man cherishes wrath to keep it warm
and consumes himself with the fire of hi
own secret rehection.-Selected.

w. w. Corcoran and His Father.

1t is said that the collection of pictures
which finally resulted in the donation of the
Corcoran gallery to the city of Washington,
was begun by the donor Mr.. Corcoran,
simply with the idea of surrounding himself
with some of the cultivating influences that
had been denied his earlier years. lie found
himself at middle age with great wealth,
and not having the knowledge or experience
of an art connoisseur, contented himself
with becoming patron, who had, however,
an abiding consideration for prices. His
thrift and most of his wealth came direct
from his father, who was a shoecobbler, and
pegged and patched the shoes of some who
are still wearing out their shoe-leather in
walking, while the son rides when he wills.
Corcoran pere was honest and industrious,
and had the good will of nearly everyone,
when rise in his fortunes made him mayor
of Georgetown. Still there were some who
could neither forgive nor forget his shoe
cobbling and it is said that at brilliant en-
tertainment at which young Corcoran was
present, he overheard a Washington lady,
distinguished in the society of that day, say
to friend, "Do you smell shoemaker's
wax ?" She had little idea that her remark
had been overheard by the object Of 1t, but
the young man treasured it up. and when
the mayor Of Georgetown gave a grand ball,
to which all the dignitaries of the sister
cities were hidden, the lady so sensitive TO
shoemaker's wax was conspicuously left out.
Whether she was conscious of the cause OF

Youthful Illusions.

Youth is the period of novel effects, when
all the world is fresh, and new and striking
impressions crowd in thickly on the mind
Consequently it takes much less to produce
a given amount of mental excitation in
childhood than in after life. In looking
back on this part of our history we recall
for the most part just those events and scenes
which mostly stirred our minds by their
straugeness, novelty, etc., and 80 impressed
themselves upon the tablet of our memory
and it is this sense Of something out of the
ordinary beat that gives the characteristic
color to our recollection. This being so, we
unconsciously transform the past occurrence
by reasoning from our present standard of
what is impressive. Who has not felt an
unpleasant disenchantment in revisiting some
garden or park that seemed wondrous para
disc to his young eyes All our feelings are
capable of leading us into this kind Of illu-
sion. What seemed beautiful or awful to us
as children is now pictured in Imagination
as corresponding to what moves our mature
minds TO delight or awe. People who a
little outshone our own circle Of friends, per-
haps, in style of dress aud living, seemed to
us as children little short of princes and
princesses. Could we actually see them with
our present eyes, we should, alas, no longer
find the glory in which our young fancies had
encircled their heads.-COrnhM Mdgasine.

The Hidden Wisdom OF God.

The mind of pious workman, named
Thierney, was much occupied with the ways
of God, which appeared to him full of in
scrutable mysteries. The two questions,
How ?" and Why ?" were constantly in
his houghts-whether he considered his
own life, or the dispensations of Providence
in the government of the world. One day,
in visiting a ribbon manufactory, his atten.
tion was attracted by An extraordinary piece
of machinery. Countless wheels aud thous-
ands of threads were twirling in all direc-
tions he could understand nothing of its
movements. He was informed, however,
that all this motion was connected with the
center where there was chest which was
kept shut Anxious to understand the prin-
ciple of the machine, he asked permission to
see the interior. The master has the key
was the reply. The words were like a fash
of light. Here was the answer to all the
perplexed thoughts. Yes, the Master has
the key. He governs and directs all. 1t is
enough. What need more 2" He also es.

Velocity Of Rifle Balls.

Professor Spice recently measured, before
large audience, the velocity of rifle ball
fired across the stage. The distance was
only 33 feet. Lieutenant Merriam cooper
ated, and his duty was to shoot away, with
Creedmoor rifle, two loose wires, each Of
which connected in an electric circuit two
globules of mercury. One wire was placed
just in front of the supported muzzle of the
rifle, the other 33 feet distant. Two levers
were arranged, with bent wire points, over
piece of smoked glass to which uniform
motion could be impaired, and the electric
connections were such that on the first wire
being broken the point of the corresponding
lever descended on the glass but when the
bullet broke the second wire it Immediately
rose again by the action of a spring. The
result Of this was that the point connected
with this lever scraped very short line on
the smoked glass. The other point, being
kept down during the swing Of seconds
pendulum, scraped longer space. After
firing, the glass was withdrawn, and mag
nifed image of the lines thrown on a screen.
The relative lengths Of these lines we're then
ascertained, the longer being found ITO
inches, the shorter inches, making the
duration of flight OF the ball 5l10ths or l.
22d of second, its velocity being 33x22=
726 feet per second, or at the rate Of lit
tie under 800 miles per hour.-Scientifc

Don't Let the Fire Go Out.

My husband was absent for week. | re.
mained, with my two little children and a
lady teacher-who is boarding with us and
attending the public school-to look after
matters at home. Lucy Parkinson, little
girl of eleven years, often comes to play
with the children, or remain, in my absence,
with the teacher. Neither the teacher nor
little girl were professors Of religion, al.
though Lucy is in regular attendance upon
the regular weekly prayer.meeting. For
three months conducted family worship.
On the fourth was absent visiting friends
in the country; but at the appointed time
could remember husband and children in
prayer. Upon my return l was gratifed to
learn, incidentally, that after breakfast the
teacher and little girl repaired to the sitting
room, read passage of Scripture together,
and then kneelng, the little girl addressed
the throne of divine grace. Both are now,
| believe, indulging hope in Christ. Had
| neglected the family altar in husbands
absence, such thing, doubtless, would not
have taken place in our humble home. Pa
rents, do not let the fire go out on the altar.

than reward for all my painstaking aud

/" Good Night; But Give Me Your Hand. -

Such were the words of q dear little girl
to her father as he sat by her couch one
evening and had bidden her goodnight.
Goodnight but give me your hand" She
wished to feel the clasp of that fathers
hand till she fell asleep. How sweet to
know that If an earthly father delights to
take the hand of his little daughter as she
is about dropping to sleep, much more does
our Heavenly Father love to hold our hand
in his as we go at night into silent land of
consciousness. How blessed to feel that in
answer to the prayer, d" Goodnight, Lord
but give me thy hand" he will not leave
nor forsake us that in the grasp of that
Fathers hand his children may sleep the
sleep which God gives to his beloved. If
we take in ours that hand which was pierced
for us upon the cross, even the night of ad-
versity will to us a goodnight Aud in the
valley of the shadow of death we will fear
no evil. even there shall thy hand lead
me, and thy right hand shall hold me-" That
hand will lead us in safety to that land of
love, where the parting words, Goodnight"
shall be no longer spoken, for the Lamb is
the light thereof. of."-American Messenger.

The True Marriage.


The husband who is really fond of his
wife, who is in full sympathy with her, who
admires her, who is proud of her, is rarely
troubled as to her domesticity. 1t is need
less to say that he wishes her to be mindful
of his wants and solicitous for her children,
If she has any; but he does not think she
should hug her own hearth-stone and never
catch glimpse of the outer world. His
lively affection urges him toward her, not
away from her. When he goes out, he likes
to take her with him he desires that others
should see the woman he has chosen for his
mate he wants to have his taste approved,
his good fortune in securing her made man
ifest. He is glad that she should be domes.
tic, but not domestic alone. He knows, as
all men know, that complete, rounded,
large-minded woman can adorn home and
society at the same time that she may be a
model wife and an excellent mother, and yet
a charming companion, delightful enter
tainer, an inspiring friend. He believes her
too agreeable, too worthy, too helpful, to be
swallowed up in one sphere Of duties, to be
dulled and stunted by one sphere of activi-
ties, by one form Of development He seeks
for her some diversity of occupation, some
variety of experience, an ampler life, in
short, than can be contained within four
walls and the enactment of a single part.
His love for her expresses itself in comrade-
ship, and in comradeship there is something
besides domesticity.--N. Y. Sunday Times.
