Thoughts from Mrs. Il. G, VIII.
ho,m,

Oh is Il true that must give
My husband up forever?
o must ! now the cord unloOsc
Which naUght but death should sever?
Must love, the strongest passion OF mJ
breast,
For him forever cease 10 iiOW,
And cast the poor inebriaIe Of? no, no
Although he faced the invading foe
Twice in the conflict fell
A prisoner now bound down with chains
By her whose house leads down 10 hell.
! know that God will hear my prayer
And my request will give;
he will cause the prodlgal to repent,
And then his soul shall live.
One score and three years claimed him
rs mine,
Ny affections so warmly around him did
tWinc;
His proving so base, so false so untrue,
More plainly conyinces me love was un-
due.
SO | will watch over my passions
Whatever may come,
And hope that may meet him
IN heaven my home.
Yes, Jesus's blood can cleanse the soul
From stains of deepest dye;
This ia my hope, this is my plea
So ask me no reason why
| cannot give him up for lost,
Although he proved untrue:
| know he will, yes even now,
His wrctched choice rue.

SO NEAR.
IN A LITTLE MORT THAN WEEK AND IT
WILL BE HERE-THE BALTIMORE
AND ONO ANNOUNCES EVERY
THING 0. L.

THING o. K.
Now that the Inauguration day is so
near, those who contemplate visiting
Washington upon this auspicious occa-
sion. and havonot as yet decided their
route, are prone to study timetables
and discussing the advantages of tbs or
that other line to the National Capital
1t ncccssitstes but q very few moments
of consideration to convince one that
as the Baltimore and Ohio has the only
direct track from Chicago and the West
to Washington, 1t must necessarily pos
sess advantages which no competing
line can equal, This is q plain argu-
ment and requires no extended details
to satisfy one that 1t is conUoyertlble.-
The Baltimore and Ohio trains run di-
rect, whereas the trains on al other
lines are compelled to run by round
about routes to get into Washington,
which as a matter Of course necessitates
extra travel and consequent increased
time aboard the cars. The Baltimore
and Ohio, with its magnificent palace
sleeping cars, It's elegant dining cars
and its superb day coaches, has an equip
ment as fine ms any road in the world,
while its track laid throughout with the
heaviest steel rails, its stone ballas, steel
bridges and the like, insures the fastest
time rnd absolute safety. TO those who
love the picturesque, the ride over the
Allcghanies and down the Potomac is
one Of continuous interest; the snow
capped mountains, the frozen cascades
and the frost-coyered rocks present pic
lures at this season Of the year not
equaled any where upon this continent,
The round trip tickets at exceedingly
low rates, go upon sale on Tuesday,
March lst, and will be good going until
Thursday evening. Returning, these
tickets will be good until the last train
on the night Of the eighth.
