Hon. A. J. Warner. Representative
from the Marietta district, is of the
opinion that the trade dollar will be
taken in and exchanged for standard
dollars, and that Congress will make
that provision very early in the ses-
sion. AS to the silver coinage, he
does not think there is any general
desire to change the present law. He
says he has found pretty wide senti-
ment favorable to removing the re-
striction on national bank circulation.
That is to permit them tc issue notes
to the full amount of bonds deposited.
The Government would be responsible
for the entire issue, just as 1t is now.
The reasons that were valid when the
10 per cent. limit was fixed do not ex
iSt now.

GATH says that Justice Miller is to
be rewarded for his infamous services
in helping to seat Hayes, by being
made the Republican candidate for
President; or at least that heis Blaine's
candidate. We venture the assertion
that no man who was prominent III
that fraud can be elected. Repuhli-
cans now generally acknowledge the
infamy of the act which their strong
partisan feelings but partially justified
at the time, and would rebuke any at
tempt to force them to endorses in their
cooler moments, Il precedent which
they now recognise as destructive OF
their own rights of self government.

A Brief Sketch Of His Career.

We here present the readers Of the
PRESS with an excellent likeness of
the youngest member of the present
Congress, and the youngest man ever
elected to our National Legislature.
Geo. A. Post, of Susquehanna, Pa,
enjoys this distinguished honor, rep
resenting the 18th District of Pennsyl-
vania, comprising the counties OF
Bradford, Susquehanna, Wayne and
Wyoming. Mr.. Post is only twenty
nine years of age, of fine physical pro-
portions, "a smooth face strongly marked
with more than ordinary character for
one of his years, and is one of the most
popular and promising young men of
his State.
Ms. Post was born in Cuba, N. Y,
September l, 1854. removing at the age
of seven years to Oswego, where he
resided until 1873, receiving his educa-
ton in the OswegO Academy, and the
Oswego Normal School. He then re-
moved to Susquehanna, Pa, shortly
after entering the service of the Erie
Railway, in which he was soon pro-
NOTED to position of responsibility.
He was elected Mayor of Susquehanna
when only twenty-five years of age,
which position he filed with distin-
guished ability.
Mr.. Post. while in the railway ser.
vice, and during his mayorship, i'm
proved his evening hours by reading
law, and so naturally apt WAS he il
mastering the intricasies of Blackstone
that in a few years he was admitted Il

The Deacon's Week
BY ROSE TERRY COOKE.

The communion service of January
was just over in the church at Sugal
Hollow, and people we're waiting for Mr.
Parkes to give out the hymn, but he did
not give it out; he laid his book down on
the table and looked about on his
church.
He was a man of simplicity and sin
cerity, fully in earnest to do his Lord S
work, and to do it with all his might,
but he did sometimes feel discouraged.
His congregation was mixture of farm
ers and mechanics. So he had to con
tend with the keen brain and skeptical
comment of the men who piqued them
selves on power to hammer at theologi-
cal problems as well as hot iron, with the
jealousy and repulsion aud bitter feeling
that has bred the communistic hordes
abroad and at home; while perhaps he
had n still harder task to awaken the
sluggish souls of those who used their
days to struggle with barren hillside and
rocky pasture for mere food and cloth
ing, and their nights to sleep the dull
sleep of physical fatigue and mental
vacuity. The minister spoke: "Myd dear
friends, he said, "you all know, though
I did not give you any notice to that ef-
feet, that this week is the Week of
Prayer. have a mind to ask you to
make it for this once a week of practice
instead. Perhaps you will find work
that ye knew not of, lying in your
midst. And let us all on Saturday even
ing meet here again and choose some one
brother to relate his experience of the
week. You who are willing to try this
method, please to rise.
Everybody rose except old Amos
Tucker, who never stirred, though his
wife pulled at him and whispered to him,
imploringly. He only shook his grizzled
head and sat imr.ovable.
Saturday night the church assembled
again. The cheerful eagerness was gone
from their faces; they looked downcast,
troubled, weary-as the pastor expected.
When the box for ballots was passed
about, each one tore bit of paper from
the sheet placed in the hymn books for
the purpose and wrote on it name.
The pastor said after he had counted
them, "Deacon Emmons, the lot has
fallen on you.
"Tm sorry for t, said the deacon,
rising up and taking off his overcoat. 81
ha'n't got the best Of records, Mr. Parkes,
now tell ye.
Well, brethren" he said, 81 am

but I ought to be, and maybe shall

THE YoU7HFUL PILOT

On the bosom of a river,
Where the sun unbinds its quiver.
Or the starlight streams forever,
Sailed a vessel light and free.
Morning dewdrops hung like mama
On the bright folds of her banner,
While the zephyrs rose to fan her
Safely to the radiant sea.
At her prov pilot, beaming
In the flush Of youth, stood dreaming,
And he was in glorious seeming,
Like an angel from above;
Through his hair the breezes sported,
Aud, as on the waves he fioated,
Oft that pilot, angel-throated,
Warbled lays Of hope and love.
Through those locks so brightly flowing
Buds Of laurel bloom we're blowing,
And his hands anon were throwing
Music from a Tyre of gold
Swiftly down the stream he glided,
Soft the purple waves divided,
And a rainbow arch abided
Ger his canvas snowy fold.
Anxious hearts, with fond devotion,
Watched him sailing to the ocean,
Praying that no wild commotion
Midst the elements might rise
And he seemed some young Apollo
Charming summer winds to follow,
While the water-fag's corolla
Trembled to his music-sighs.
But those purple waves enchanted
Rolled beside city haunted
By an awful spell that daunted
Every conner to her shore
Night shades rank the air encountered.
And pale marble statues numbered
Lotos-eaters, where they slumbered
And awoke to life no more.
Then there rushed with lightning quicknes
Der his face a mortal sickness,
And death-dews in fearful thickness
Gathered DER his temples fair;
And there swept a mournful murmur
Through the lovely Southern summer,
As the beauteous pilot conner
Perished by that city there.
Still rolls on that radiant river
And the sun unbinds its quiver.
Or the starlight streams forever
On its bosom, as before
But that vessels rainbow banner
Greets no more the gay savannah,
And that pilots lutte drops mama
On the purple waves-no more.
