MYMOTHER's PICTURE.

Far down in the gathering shades of the West,
The hot sun of Summer has gone;
The earth in the dull robes of twilight is dressd,
And, dreading no longer the heat that Oppressed,
The fowls of the barnyard are seeking their rest,
And the night wears lazily on.
How lovely and peaceful is Nature tonight!
How sweet is its balmy repose.
On the Western hills gimmer the last rays of light,
AS the great Orb of Day moves away in his might,
And we joyfully welcome the Queen of the Night,
And the sultry day draws to close.
A face can never forget;
All, sweet the days that those features recall,
The memory still holds my heart a thrall;
Those scenes of my childhood-how plainly they all
Are stamped OIL my memory yet!
Those eyes that oft watched with tenderest care
As romped in my infantile play,
The same eyes still look from the gloomy frame there
The same gentle features, the same glossy hair
The sanity lips pleading to carry share
Ofmy joys and my sorrows to-day.
Thou joy of my childhood-thou noblest of friends,
1fto angels the power is given,
While thy child meath the this sinful worlG
bends,
While my weak song praise and devotion ascends,
While the word of the Master brighter hope lends
Draw near, and teach me of Heaven.
Tell me of the joys of friends who have gone
Teach me, as cannot another
Be thou the light that shall beckon me on,
Till the harbor of peace and of rest have won,
And there, in that land more bright than the sun,
/ still bless the name of MY MOTHER.

THE Portsmouth Tribune gives an
account of a frightful accident that
occurred at a tunnel on the Cincinnati
and Eastern Railroad, some thirteen
miles northeast from Portsmouth, on
Brush Creek. A blast was put in,
the fuse failed to burn, when James
Stanley and James Grace undertook
to drill it out. 1t exploded, horribly
mangling the two men. Stanley had
both eyeballs blown out Of their sock
cts, one arm blown entirely off, and
the other arm broken. He was also
injured about the body. At last ac-
counts both men were still alive.
Some twenty-seven years ago we
became acquainted with an Irishman
named James Stanley, at Portland.
He married Martha, only daughter of
Elder Levi Mcdaniel. The McDan-
iel family afterwards removed to
Brush Creek, Scioto County, and we
think Stanley also went there. This
young man, who is 25 years Of age,
may be a.son Of the James Stanley
who formerly resided at Portland.

Wrong Head Lines.

The Cincinnati Commercial Of last
Friday had an article headed san
Early Morning Horror under which
it gave an account Of a woman who
left her pretty little child, three years
old, in third story, and went down
to saloon to get drink, and when
she went back the room was in flames
and the child burnt to crisp. This
was near twelve o'clock at night. The
Commercial has been advocating
drunkenness and Sabbath desecration,
and all kinds Of outlawry and deviltry
with such earnestness, that it ought
to have headed this murder by the
drunken mother, and the beer-jerker
who furnished the liquor, as case Of
personal Liberty"
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1882-06-29
A Lost Soul.

Some years ago Deacon Richard
Smith, of the Cincinnati Gazette,
stated that Dana, Of the New York
Sun, had sold himself to the devil,
and he brought convincing proof that
the statement was tru e. and the only
proof necessary was file Of the Sun.
For some time past we have been
convinced that Murat Halstead, of the
Cincinnati Commercial, has been dick
ering with the devil, and we feared at
times that he had sold out, body and
soul, to the arch fend. An article in
the Commercial one day last week, de-
Tending iquor-selling, settled the
question. He has not sold out to the
devil, but he has giUen himself up to
his satanic majesty, soul and body;
this without money and without
price, or even promise Of political
preferment.
This is indeed a sad case. We have
seen men convicted and sentenced to
prison for long terms seven for life,
for crimes. We have seen men lost
in consequence of indulgence in the
use Of strong drink; and in all such
cases we have thought of the time
when these lost men were innocent
little boys, the pride of their mothers.
Now we think we see the lost Hal
stead when he was simple little boy,
with tow-colored hair, freckled face,
bareheaded and barefooted, with no
fine clothes on-only long tow-linen
shirt, and roaming about the woods
on Paddy's Run, and subsisting on
service-berries, huckleberries, crab
apples, papaws, persimmons, black
haws, black walnuts and beech nuts.
'Tis sad.

EGnUrlCCfna an

jackson county will present to the Congressional
Convention but one candidate, c. A. Atkinson. The
county delegation is solid him. and will go to the
Convention with the intention and expectation of
having him nominated. Jackson County, 1t is to be
definitely understood, has no clark horse in train
ing, and will not have any. Her candidate is an
nounced, and he and his friends will insist upon his
nomination 1t is an open fight, and the candidates
are known. This county will do her duty, whoever
may be nominated, but we prefer candidate. The
past history Of this county shows that she always
willing to do what is best for the party and Mr. At
knsons nomination will be sought urged because
the Republicans of jackson County believe 1t to be
for the good of the party and that it will best sub
and promote the interests of all concerned This
delegation selected upon the understanding that
this county had and would have but candidate,
viz: G. A. Atkinson. Each of the other persons
talked Of from this county, in connection with this
matter, have declined to be candidates.
While we recognize the merits of the other candi-
dates, from the other counties of the district we
must insist that Err Atkinson is equally worthy His
course heretofore, his well known integrity, his
soundness upon questions of finance, tariff, temper
a;ice, &C., sufficient guarantee of what his of
cial conduct would be in the future He would when
elected, represent this district in credita-
! BILE to the district, and to himself.
We hope the Convention will not get into pro.
longed struggle the nomination; there need be
trouble if wise counses prevails our candidate
possesses all the qualifications fifty represent the
his past record is of purity in personal and po
litica character and his future full brilliant pros
| poets.
| But again say, Jackson County declares in ad
vance for the nominee of the Convention whoever 4
shall be- "Our flag is there"
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1882-06-29
A Serious Matter.

Again we call the attention Of tax
payers to the bills they are called
upon to foot on account Of intemper-
ance. The article published on the
first page Of this paper will give you
some idea of the drift of things at the
National Capital, while, to come down
to the affairs Of our own State and
county, we find the same showing.
In the town of Jackson the curse
Of intemperance is, becoming abso-
lutely alarming. Well did Judge
Tripp say from the bench that he did
not see how amy man could attempt
to justify or encourage intemperance.
For some two or three weeks drunken
men have been reeling about the
streets almost constantly ly-and all
this time the officers have been busy,
locking them up in the calaboose.
But the supply of drunken men is be-
yond the capacity Of the prison.
Not one of these men is as low as
the man who made him drunk, yet
the latter will take all the formers
money, take in pawn the very tools
with which he earns his livelihood, or
take his coat or vest, or watch, and,
while getting the unfortunate victim
drunk as often as possible, still have
his "peesness" respected by certain
class Of men pretending to be decent.
No man can tell just when, or where,
or how this curse will end. We have
firm faith that right will triumph in
the end-though that may not come
until God shall make an outraged
people the instruments Of his wrath,
and through them summarily wipe
out the curse. This curse cannot 60
on much longer.
We do not believe there is man
living who is so low in the scale of
human depravity as to deny that in
temperance is great curse. 1t never
was greater curse than it is just
now. The beer-jerker may still find
few creatures low enough to espouse
his cause, but unless we mistake the
signs of the times, he is placing un-
der himself magazine that will give
him terrible awakening.
