The Mothers Lesson

Among the many lessons to be
learned from the life and death of
President Garfield, one for mothers
presents itself very strongly to my
mind. As | sat busted with the
family meDding, long after the
household was asleep, a vision came
before me of the mother years ago
in her lonely cabin home, with no
husband coming home, bringing his
kindly presence to cheer and COM
fort, no strong arm to lean upon, the
children all asleep on their rude
beds, she, after day of hard work
on the little farm, with all the ankle
ties and responsibilities resting upon
her and as she sat late in the night re-
moving the scanty apparel, mothers
can you not follow her anxious out
look in the future, as she gazes upon
groaning in spirit for the
limited educational, social and relig-
ious advantages, and can you not see
her bowling in agony and crying to
God that he would guide and control
them through all their years, doing
for them all that she must leave un-
done? Can you not feel the scrupu-
lous honesty, truth and obedience
which she demanded of them, thus
laying the foundations of character
which will bear fruit through time
and eternity? Sisters, we cannot all
see our children fill the high places
of the earth, but we can train them to
be Worthy of them, and surely none
of US can have more to contend
against than did that mother; let us
renew our faith and courage, and
build for character, laying deep and
broad, that noble structures may be
built upon them no matter what &C
after years may add,
unless there be truth and the other
virtues in the amer part of man or
life will be failure.
And truly no crowned queen can
nave prouder position than to reign
over the hearts of dutiful, virtuOus
children.

market. If the dealers cannot get
the coal, they are simply in the con-
dition of the farmer who has no po-
tatoes for sale, when the demand is
urgent for that useful vegetable. No
matter how high the price, or who
comes to buy, they will fail to be
satisfied.
More than all this--we know that
Columbus dealers have done their
very best to "stock up" and prevent
coal falnines, such as nearly all CON-
munities in the state were afflicted
with last winter, and :hey have,
thus far, measurably succeeded, be-
cause we had two railroads, on
which we could bring our supply,

us out. We hope to see this con-

From ss The Times"

Editors IimeS:-Seeing an article
in your paper last week from Ar
mold Parker, | was impressed with
the earnestness with which he ap-
peals to you to continue to enlighten
the world in regard to the means by
which he was so miraculously cured
of rheumatism and hip-joint lame
ness by using Kendsll's SPAWN
Cure. The article to which he al
ludes by DIR. Bates, impressed me so
favorably with the real merits of
this RENE 1y that L tried it also for
several blemishes on my horses and
found it the most perfect cure ever
tried for spavins and other blemish-
es, as it completely removes the en-
largement i'm every instance by con-
tinuing its use for several days after
the lameness had subsidized. The
perfect success l have always had
with Kendall's SPAWN Cure led me
to use it on my own person, and for
all the family with the very best
results as family liniment. While
several of the cures made with il
have been almost miraculous, none
have been more satisfactory than
several cures which | made with it
of foOt-rot and also sore teats as well
as warts on teats of cows, | con-
slider il sure cure for sore teats or
foOt-rOt in either cows or sheep.
With the satisfaction this remedy
has always given in every instance,
| cannot refrain asking my friend
Parker that you continue to make
known to the world this, the grand
est discovery of the nineteenth GEN.
tury. Yours truly,
JAMES A. CAMPBELL.
Herkimer, NY, Sept. 10, 81.
The above letter, with one pub
lished last week, encourages us In
our efforts to make our paper one of

we now ask others of our readers
who have been alike benefited by
the letter published one year ago
from DIR. Bates that they send us Tor

We hear more than little COM
plant against All agent who has sold
machines, taking notes of the pur-
chaser, and, at the same time, max
ing pretended contracts, verbal of
course, with the purchaser, i'm ref
erence to time of payment, extern
sion of time i'm certain cases, etc.
There are multitude of unscrupu-
lOus agents, who care neither for the
interests of their principal or the
purchaser, and whose sole aim seems
TO be "to escape the poOr-house by
grazing the penitentiary." They
know that their company is only
responsible for the written contract,
and that by making false representa-
tions they can secure more purchas-
ers, and so they don't scruple to do
these things. The entirely safe plan
is, to have no business with q dis
reputable man; deal with the men
you know; know what you are
doing, and inform yourself of the
law touching the responsibility of
agents.
