Born in an unconscious state, the

scious impressions, his entrance in

accomplished during a state of
oblivion, known as Natures anms

"Painlessly we come, whence we

Painlessly we go, whittier we know

From the earliest period of hui
man history death has been consid-
cred as necessarily accompanied by
pain so general is this belief, that
the terms "death agony" "last
struggle" "pangs Of DEATH" etc,
have been in almost universal use
in every age aud under all conditions
of society.
Nothing could be moro erroneous;
the truth is, pain aud death seldom
go together--we mean the last mo-
ments of life. OF course. death may
be pr eccdcd by weeks or even
months of extreme suffering, as oc-
ours during certain incurable dis.
eases.
So exaggerated has been this no.

thoracic muscles, rendering the re-
spiration, already difficult, shortly

dor, in the time of Queen Nary
asserted that it was common custom
among tho country people to smoth
er the dying by means of a pillow
placed over tho face, upon which
leaned or sat tho poorest relative.
This was founde! upon the pious
belief that short roid was the
best one. This custom was handed
down from generation to generation

haps, the sad.lest privilege ever al

the reign of Queen Elizabeth, when
thro' executive clcmency-in exe-
cutious hy hanging-they wore
permitted TO grasp the feet Of the
suspended criminal, and, by clinging
to the extremities, precipilato their
additional weight on tho body,
thereby fastening strangulation.

theories are false in both conception
and practice. Death is IA physiologi-

The Bulls and the Pony!
Fable.

There was once upon time great crib, in which
stored much fatness. and there consequently,
much seeking after this crib. Now it so happened
that there great roadway leading to this crib
At certain point this roadway narrowed and at this
point two smaller roadways Joined it.
About the time story opens lively pony was
cantering down the roadway toward the crib. AS he
neared the two smaller roadways, he observed two
"pennyroyal" bulls coming, one upon each of the
roads, These bulls named Frank and John,
while the pony's name Bob. AS Frank came
snortng down the big road attracting much atten
tion he thought to down the unsuspecting pony.
But at this point, the other pennyroyal John, with
shaggy fore-lock, gave huge below and rushed out,
confronting Frank. The pony thrown back upon
his launches, with astonishment that any should
attempt to head him off, SO he wisely concluded to
watch the issue of the meeting between John and
Frank, and he had not long to wait:
"Get out of my way said Frank II first the
track, and if not seriously mpeded, reach the
crib within the next month"
But you cannot outrun the pony said John.
your precept and example have always been good,
and the common people will not assist you in the
race Mine have always been bad, and will be eX-
ceedingly popular along the way
''Get out of my wayr' roared Frank.
Il won't!" beloved john and there throw
ing of dust, clashing of horns and general racket
during which the people all gathered around Bob and
gave such shout sent him flying down the track
and with head erect he sailed past the believing
pennyroyals, and went careering his way to the
crib And Bob will not be curried this side of Co

Democratic politicians universally
claim to be the only friends and champions
of the workingmen. OF course there is
no truth, or sense, in any such claim, but
this fact only serves to increase the zeal
of the Democratic politicians. The most
disgusting and insulting stuff is being
paraded, in italics, claiming to represent
what Mr. Bookwalter has said about "la-
Dor" and the "lahoring-man." If these
Democratic publications serve to convince
the people of Ohio that Bookwalter real
