SENATOR HoAR lately delivered eu1ogy on
President Garfield. in Worcester, Mass. After
abiding to his early struggles, and to his sub
sequent career as a scholar, soldier, legis-
lator and a statesman. he said: We are JUS
titled, then, in saying of this man that he has
been tried aud tested in every mode by which
the quality of human heart and the capacity
of human intellect can be disclosed; by ad-
versity, by prosperity, by poverty, by wealth,
by leadership in deliberative assemblies, and
in the perilous edge of battle, by the height
of power and of fame. The assay was to be
completed by the certain and visible approach
of death. she comes out into the sunlight,
more and more clearly does his country be-
hold greatness and symmetry which she is
to see in their true and full proportions only
when he lies in the repose of death.
As sometimes in dead mans face,
To those that watch it more and more,
A likeness, hardly seen before,
Comes out to some one OF his race,
So, dearest, now thy brows are cold,
Isee thee what thou art, aud know
Thy likeness to the wise below,
Thy kindred with the great of old.
With steady and even step be walked from

JOHN WILKES, one of the ugliest men of

killed twice or three times nightly" What he
meant was that nightly it appeared to him that
the explosion again occurred, and that he was
knocked senseless by the flying fragments of
rock. The doctor says this is a thing that
gives great deal OF trouble to all patients
who have been hurt by caves or explosions.
1t often prevents them from sleeping. No
sooner do they begin to doze than the cave
comes or the explosion occurs, and they
awake with start and cry out.

The common practice of having night
lights in the bedrooms of young children is
much deprecated. DR.. Robert Fl. Blackwell
strongly condemns it saying: "Instead of the
perfect rest the optic nerves ought TO have,
and which nature provides for by the darkness
of the night, these nerves are perpetually
stimulated, and, OF course, the brain and the
rest of the nervous system suffer. Children
thus brought up are excessively timid for
years after on going into the dark

were boring for Oil and struck ledge twelve
feet thick of pure crystal salt. 1t lies in the
ground like gigantic cake of ice, and can be
taken out so clear and transparent, that you
can see through the cakes, as if they
were pure glass. It will be much cheaper to
quarry out this salt and grind it pu than it is to
boil down the Syracuse, Saginaw or Turks
Island salt. The mine is source of infinite
wealth to Wyoming county, and one of the
geological curiosities of the world.
The following touching incident will take
tender hold of many bereaved heart A
motherless little half-orphan saw his mother
in the sky. Was it not her ministering spirit
watching with motherly love over her child:
Recently Harry Woodruff's 3-year old boy,
Mark, of Plain City, O., who was left mother
less few months ago, was seen standing in
the door-yard gazing into ehe sky with such
earnestuess that the circumstances particular
~ attracted the attention of his nurse, and
she asked him what he was looking at. But
the child paid no attention to two or three ap-
peals of the kind, and, when taken hold Of,
he struck back with his little hands and petu-
lantly cried out: $50 Iaway! Let me be! 1
see nay mamma, and she is laughing at me!'
TIE Montreal Star is moved to give the fol-
lowing advice to girls who want husbands:
Do not be fond of promenading the business
streets at all hours of the day. That is, do
not make regular thing of it. Do not 60
about so that people will know for certain
that you will be "dewn town" when you have
no business, and do not let the impression 60
abroad that you 60 on the beat as regularly as
clock work. It does not look well. 1t ap-
pears as if you preferred to be on the hunt
rather than improving your mind or darning
your stockings. 1t looks as if being gazed at
was your highest ambition, and seeing men
stare at you more in harmony with your tastes
than making your home happy and your sur
roundings coy and comfortable.

at the Forman shaft in Nevada, and lost both
of his arms and his eyesight, is still blown up
nightly in imagination. He told DR.. Weber

CHRINTMAS.

This festive season is again upon
us. 1t has grown to be almost
national festive day. 1t is day we
hail with Joy because it brings great
ioy to the children. We love the
children and therefore must love
whatever brings them cause for re-
ioicing. We know it is the reputed
birthday of our Lord Jesus Christ.
But since it is mooted question as to
whether it is or not the real birthday
of our Savior, and as it Is generally
believed by Protestants that it is not,
and we are Protestants, we prefer to
treat it as holiday, day to be joyful
and on which to practice good deeds
| rather than as holy day on which

Many will be the Joyous meetings
of separated friends and relatives !;
many will be the greetings around
the festive board; many and costly
will be the presents sent from friend
to friend. This will be as it should
be but. reader remember that there is
a higher duty claiming your atten'
ton. Jesus, whom the festival is
intended to honor said : when thou
makest d dinner or supper. call not
thy friends nor thy brethren, neither
tby kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbors
lest they also bid thee again, and
recompense be made thee. But when
thou makest FEAST, call the poor, the
manned, the lame, the blind: and thor
shalt be blessed; for they canno
recompense thee: for thou shalt be re
compensed at the resurrection OF th
just"

Editors Virginia Star:
AS Christmas draws near, our little
town seems to grow more lively. Crops
have been gathered and all are seeking
something new. The principal winter
work in this section, is fishing and oy-
stering. But the boatmen are getting
rather shy of the northwest bleaks now.
Our Free Scheol is moving on quite
smoothlv; headed by Mr.. A. w. Vancey
of your city.
The Young Peoples Reading and
Debating Club, held it's regular meeting
on the 11th instant; Subject, Which is
More Useful to farmer, the Ok or the
Horse? Of course the OK bore of the
Itrophies on his horns.
The churches around us are having a
good time. May His Spirit continue in
our midst.
But don't forget it. The young men
have been asking some of our fathers
and mothers funny questions. And we
know they give an affirmative answer
lsometimes. A few days ago Mr.. K
Smith of Lancaster County, and Miss
Assaria Page Of Tappahapnock were uni
3Aed in wedlock; and on the 14th Instant
at thoFirst Baptist church the pastor
officiating, Mr.. J. r. Young led to the
altar, Miss Rebecca Holmes,-The affair
was indeed brilliant one. The happy
couple, left on the 18Th for Baltimore,
