Song of the Silent Land.
BY H. ". 1oxGFELbow.

Into the Silent Land,
All, who shall lead US thither?
Clouds in the evening sky moro darby gather
And shattered wrecks lie thicllly on the strand,
Who leads us with gentle hand
Thithcr, thithcr,
Into the Silent Land?
Into the Silent Land
To you, ye boundless regions
OF all perfection! Tender morning vision
OF bcouteous souls! The Futures pledge and
hand
Who in lifcs battle doth firmly stand
Shall bear Hopes tender blossoms
Into the Silent Land.
Land! o Land!
For all the 5roken-hcartcd.
The mildest hcraids by our fate allotted
Reckons and with inverted torch doth stand
To lead Us with a gentle hand
To the land OF the great Departed,
Into the Silent Land!

A NovEL IDEA.-A Presbyterian
fair at Bcllair, Nd, required that
packages of every size and style
should be dropped at the door
as the cost of admisson, and the
feature of the evening was auctioncer-

Not package was started at less than
its guaranteed value, ten cents. One
gentleman captured live oppossum
at bid of s1.5O, another puid s5
cents for pumpkin. Let some of
our church people try this scheme,
as with a witty auctioneer bidding
would be spirited, and good sum
realized.

HOadly.

That Judge Hoadly is man of
great ability, no one will deny. We
do not believe in the narrow prejudice
that attacks mans religious views
when he is a candidate for office; Yet
when a man has no religion, in this
country, the people have right to
comment upon that fact. We sup
ported Garfield, a member of the
Christian Church, just as honestly
and earnestly as we support Foraker,
a member of the Methodist Church.
Our Government is based upon be-
lief IN the religion Of the Bible, and
no man who holds Office, from the
President down to Supervisor Of the
smallest road district in back town
ship, can hold such office until he
shall have recognized the religion Of
the Bible, by taking an oath before
the God Of the Bible. What farce
it would be for Judge Hoadly to take
the oath Of Office a. Governor of Ohio.
when he does not believe in the God
before whom he pretends to take the
oath.
This week we give an article from
the Ohio State Journal upon this
question. Hereafter we will show
Judge Hoadly's infdelity from his
speeches in the Constitutional conven-
ton. We had the reports Of the
convention. and donated them to the
Reading Room where they may be
examined by any one who doubts the
accuracy of our statements.
Judge Hoadly was at the head Of the
lawless, infdel class who succeeded in
kicking the Bible out of the public
schools Of Cincinnati, and Of this we
shall have something to say here
after.

cry or unfairness in political work.

which he has held.

character, and we are satisfied that he
a sober, industrious, honest man, and
worthy Of the support of all good

REPRESENTATIVE,


Robert Fl. Jones, Republican candi-
date for Representative, is 42 years of
age, was born in Wales, and his faith
er came to this country when Robert
was small boy. This little Welsh
boy was bound as an apprentice to
Joseph Rule Esq, of Oak Hill, to
learn the trade Of saddle and harness
maker. Well and faithfully did he
serve out his apprenticeship, and then
set up in business for himself, and
carried on shop in Portland, now a
part of Oak Hill.
Mr.. Jones always had taste for
reading, a thirst for knowledge, and
an ambition to improve in knowledge
He had commenced reading law before
the war. He at once enlisted when
the war broke out, remained 4 years in
the army. His army record is with
out blemish. When he got home
from the army he resumed the study
Of the law, finished his course, was
admitted, and commenced practice.
After time he sold his shop, and
devoted his entire time to the law.
He was elected to the Ohio Legisla-
tuN two years ago, and while in that
body he made a record of which both
he and the people of Jackson county
may well feel proud. He did more
for the laboring men of the State
than any man it that body ever did;
but we shall speak more fully of this
hereafter.
