HENRY WARD BEECHER, in lecture
in Columbus a few years ago, said he
had been foolish enough at one time
to say in his pulpit that the era of
peace had dawned upon the world
that he believed nations would settle
their differences by arbitration. Not
long after he uttered these words in
the pulpit two or three European ma
tions were involved in war. He said
he would not soon commit himself to
that theory again. He has evidently
changed his mind, as he still loves to
preach the doctrine of peace between
nations. "The tendency of the times"
in his judgment, lis away from vio-
lence and cruelty and towards sympa-
thy and kindness and love. Even war
has lost half its horrors. 1t was first
war and determination; then war and
slavery; then war for power and do
minion; then war for wealth and com.
merce, and then war for liberty and
for principle, and the public sentiment
condems any war that does not repre-
sent justice to the rest of the world.
The buccaneers could once ravage
islands, and no one condemn it; but
now France cannot cross the Mozam-
bique channel and invade Madagascar
without arousing an indignant protest
from the other nations of the world.
Great Britain could not now invade
and despoil India, though she is per-
mitted to retain what she wrongfully
obtained, and war in Zululand has
been abandoned; the public sentiment
of England herself has been against it
and has compelled its abandonment.
And if this is so in war, it is of course
very much more apparent in other
things. Labor is undergoing great
struggle, and to-day the rich areabeut
to learn that they cant separatesthem.
selves from the common mass Men
are not to be crowned for their riches,
but for their use Of them Tho man
that stands to-day on the pedestal will
stand in the pillory tomorrow if he
does not give his sympathy to his fell
low men. "'''' '''.

LAST year fruit-trees were in full
bloom at this date and wheat was q
foot high and of very rank growth.
Then came three nights of stinging
frost with the rmometer 100 below
freezing and cut the rank wheat con-
siderably, and killed most of the fruit.
This year the season is full month
later and the chances are better for
fruit. So far as now known no dam
age has been done yet; the buds are
not developed, and are thus held safe
ly in check till permanent warm
weather comes.

Why should the angel come this way
To bear my loved children away,
And why from mothers fond embraces.
Hide from her sight their lovely faces?
Why not in life's dear offering give
To me my darling children to live2
Were not enough with loving eyes
Unparalleled in other skies?
Do not the flowers in spring bloom
Amid the gardens rich perfume,
And little birds with lovely song
And little vic lets still live on?
Must my little Brides dear,
Listen in vain their voice to hear,
And see their little vacant chairs,
And sadly must miss them there?
Soft whisperings from their spirits comes
Back from their new angelic home:
80, mother, do not mourn for me,
Our bsautious home you cannot see.
ssNo ties are broken that will bind
Our hearts together as before,
We are your guardian angel now,
We live to love you still the more.
sour little play things you hold dear
Mementoes Of our love will be,
And as you see them think how near
Your darling children still clings to thee
All the new spring shades in dress goods
can be seen at Geo. Il Joe's. 3t

W0MAN'S TRIUMPH.
A Severe Surgical Operation. II. is Endured
Without Taking Ether. Subject, Mrs.
Edward Myers, Rondout, N. Y.

(From the correspondence of the Kingston, NY.
Freeman)
The case of Mrs. Edward Myers, of Rondout, New
York, furnishes an apt illustration of woman poy
er of endurance. This lady had been treated for
months in the usual way for Erysipelas of the hand
without benefit Not until her hand had become
mass ofputrifed flesh did she turn to Dr. Kennedy,
proprietor of the "Favoritc Remedy" for help.
He at once informed her that 1t was impossible to
save the hand-it must be amputated. She received
this terrible intelligence quietly, declined to take
ether stipulating merely to take her husbands hand
during the operation, and underwent the painful
process without moving muscle or uttering a groan
Dr. Kennedy then gave "Favorite Remedyf freely to
ease, and Mrs. Myers now lives and reioices in her
great deliverance.

FRED BLENKNER, Third Assistant
Sergeant-at-Arms of the House Of
Representatives, was called before the
Speakers stand ,one morning last week,
and severely reprim anded for alleged
neglect of duty. Fred turned pale and
looked as If he would sink through the
floor when complaints sprang up from
all parts Of the House. This was all a
joke, and was but the prelude to the
presentation Of very handsome and
valuable silver water service on the
part of the entire membership. MI.
Blenkner has been in his position for
over quarter of a century, through
all admin istrations, and no one knows
whether he is Democrat or Republi-
can.

Protect Your Buildings.

The best protection which can be given
to any building, and that which will en-
sure the most lasting qualities, is paint,
and the very best paint which one can
procure is the cheapest, not only because
it will wear better and last longer, but it
costs no more to put on good paint than it
does poor paint. The question, however,
which is sometimes difficult to decide, is
to determine which is the best paints, as
there are so many different brands in the
markets, all of which are advertised and
said to be the best. But this may easily
be decided by examining different build
ings which have been painted with differ
ent brands of paint and see which kind
wears the longest and looks the best. The
railroad paint which is sold at Saur's
Drug and Paint Store, seems to take the
lead wherever it is introduced and we do
not hesitate to say emphatically, that we
believethat there is no paint made that is
superior to it in quality and durability or
style of finish which can be made with it.

The following letter, written by Jas.
Naylor, former resident of Harrison
township, to his parents, we have been re-
quested to publish. Mr.. Naylor is now
living in Caldwell county, Mo-, and his
letter is in answer to one in regard to sell
ling out here and going to Dakota:
DEAR PARENTs:-I have delayed writing
to you for some time, but now will improve
this beautiful morning by doing so. Ny
self and family are we'll; there is little or
no sickness in the country. Winter is
seemingly over, and farmers have been
busy sowing oats. Willie is still at
home, but expects to start for Oregon.
Frank may go to Alaska, with Charley in
California. But that is Naylor like. They
will sell out and quit farming, and go west.
Too much moving is like too much Itch
it requires too much scratching. You go
west to Dakota with your boys and when
they are grown up they will go farther
west. Take my advice, and don't go any
further north. No doubt the country is
beautiful too look upon, but still you hear
of the sad suffering in Dakota. Men have
frozen to death doing their chores. One
man from this place went to Nebraska to
buy cattle: he bought them, started tor
home, got caught in snow storm, sold
his cattle for what he could get for them,
started for the railroad six miles distant,
and it took him Is hours to reach it, and
finally reached home with loss of hum
dreds of dollars. This is good country,
but if ever sell will go south where it is
warmer-ifI I have to live on peaches and
cream. But don't endorse what say, but
go, and when the six months winter comes,
with the mercury 60 degrees below zero,
and the billiards. ringing the death knell
to family and stock, think over what 1
have said u " II Cattle are sell
ling at and 81, hogs 6 cents.
