Is IT WICKED:

There are some curious sheep in Shep-
herd Beecher's flock. At a prayer meet
ing recently he read a letter from one OF
the lady members of the congregation
asking him if it was wicked to wear
crimps. This perturbed spirit had joined
the church at the age of sweet sixteen,
and when she had reached the blooming
period OF Is Summers something told
her not to crimp her hair. The same
thing happened the next night, and the
next, until finally she yielded. For ten
years the unhappy woman has been going
through life. crimpless and disconsolate,
and so came to her spiritual pastor and
master for advice and consolation. He
told her that she ought to give up crimp-
ing if that was the command OF the
Lord, but in reality it was the command
OF an un~reasoning, superstitious con-
science. Brother Beecher has good rea-
son to know what conscience is; it is
we'll known how he sat on the ragged
edge of his until it became decidedly
uncomfortable. But it is quite too aw-
fully too that this conscience stricken
sister should have borne her sorrow
without a single crimp for ten years, only
to be told at the end Of hat time that
the Lord had nothing to do with it.

VOORHEES, OPINION OF CONII-
LING.

Hon. D. w. Voorhees, was questioned
by a correspondent upon the political sit
uation. In reply to the question, "NVhat
do you think will become of Conkling !
Don't you think he will turn Democrat
in the event of his defeat at Albany 2"
the Senator replied: "No, sir; the Al
mighty who made these mountains and
hot water made Conkling a Republican.
He cannot be a Democrat. He can never
c~oalesce with that broad and liberal
thought which permeates the Democratic
party and embraces the whole country.
He is a man who never thought, spoke or
dreamed of his country save in partisan
blindness and sectional hate. He will
never become a Democrat, but will be-
come a monument to the young men of
the country, and stand as a warning
against the folly of stupendous vanity
and egotism. His fate will be a rebuke
to personal government, which this coun-
try sorely needs"

Mr.. Albert Stickney has an article in
Scribner's for July which tells some
ugly truths. He says the carrying of
elections is coming to be a question of
the longest purse. 1t is now becoming
an impossible thing for any man to get a
nomination for public Office who cannot
command in his favor the payment of
large sums of money. 1t is stated among
well informed men hat it now costs
about Sl5, 900 for a nomination to a seat
on the bench in either of the highest
Courts in the city of New York"

RES. uILI,s VIEWS.

Rem. Hill seems to have been pretty

interview with a correspondent oil the
BOSTON Herald he stated that "the re-
splts of the war had been a glorious
thing for the South" that SIT has
taught the people industry and sell
raliance:' that "the Southern people
could never be too grateful for the aboil-
ton Of slavery, and no section OF the
country will hereafter be more ardent
supporters Of the results of the war thar

"whether any man in the Repuoilean
party would go further than l, or almost
any other Southern man, to preserve and
emphasize all the material questions
settled by our appeal to the sword. lie

great questions which the defects IN our
constitution has shown by 100 years OF
our system of government-slavery and

the character Of this Government and
the relation of States to it. The national
character of the United States is now
as unquestionable and indissoiulabie as
flat of France or England. The war
did not destroy the States, but nation
allied the Union" The other great
question, in the judgment of Mr.. Hill,
is the civil service Of the country. He

The telegraph brings the gratifying in
formation that President Garfield is out
OF danger. This will be welcome news
to the whole country. As for our part,
we have never considered him in any
danger since learning that he was shot
with a pepper-box, and not a "bullbog."
By the way, is it not a little strange that
the calibre of that pistol was not ascer-
tanned at an earlier date? 1t would have
saved the good people of these United
States a great many moments Of anxiety.

the fret day OF April, 1S49, she Was united in
marriage with her now afflicted husband, and
on the eve OF the same day, left her home and
native land for America, coming to Paw Paw.
She joined the NJ. K. Church in the fall OF the
same year, Of which she remained . faithful
member until death. She was tender mother,
loving wife, kind neighbor, forgetful Of
self, her thoughts were for the comfort Of
others. To know her, was to respect and love
her. She was asked by her companion few
days after she was taken sick, il it was not good
to feel she rested on the rock? The light SHIN
ing from her conntenancs testified that Christ
was her al, and in oil. At times she would
awake from sleep and say, thought I had
reached home.
"She rests from her labors and her works do
follow her."
