It is remarkable that thu b imam family
generally think so little about that which
most concerns them. We all treat ourselves
as a nurse is accustomed to treat child.
We direct our attention from those subjects
which are likely to disturb us. There is no
subject about which we think so carelessly
as death. This is strange. Seldom does a
week pass but the fact that the human FAM
lily are rapidly passing off this stage of ex-
istence and entering upon another is demon
strated before our eyes. Weadmit the truth
of the statement that all men must die, but
the fact produces only aslight effect upon US,
and that effect is only for Il moment. We
see the lifeless body of fellow-being laid
in the grave; we watch while that body is
being covered up with the sod, and then
turn away with smile, as if the whole per-
formance had been preconcerted farce.
Why is this: Is death thing unworthy
of our thoughts? Such cannot be the case.
No one can dwell long upon the thought that
his body must, in a few years, grow old, and
bya process of decay which he cannot arrest,
become stinking mass, and not feel sad
Separations are painful, but no separations
are so great as those made by death. Fam
lilies are broken up, and no breach caused by
death will ever in this world, be repaired.
A painful sadness possesses the soul of him
who gazes upon the dilapidated walls of the
house in which he was born, but very few
are even serious although conscious that the
tenement in which their immortal soul re-
sides is fast crumbling to ruin.
In some respects this is we'll enough.
God in his goodness causes us to forget those
sore griefs through which we all are some
times called to pass. Hope springs immor-
tai in the human breast, although it fire.
quently has no real foundation on which to
rest. But for this fact life would not be EN-
durable, and this world bea valley of tears.
That which gives death its importance is
not the accident that it temporarily separa-
tes the soul from the body, but the fact that
it fixes the final destiny of both soul and
body. Life is not a period of probation, but
of merciful visitation. Death puts an end
to this. Atdeath God ceases to make offers
of peace and pardon. In the bosom of the
righteous hope ceases, because faith becomes
fruition in the bosom of the wicked hope
dies and despair takes its place.

GOING TO CHRIsT-I feel, when | have
sinned, an immediate reluctance to so to
Christ. am ashamed to go, l feel as if it
were making Christ a minister of sin to go
straight from the wine trough to the best
robe, and thousand other excuses but am
persuaded they are all lies direct from hell.
| am sure there is neither peace nor safety
from deeper sin but in going directly to the
Lord Jesus Christ. This is Gods way of
peace and holiness. 1t is folly to the world
and the beclouded heart, but it is the way
| must never think sin too small to need
immediate application to the blood of Christ
If | put away good conscience concerning
faith, 1 am shipwreck. Imustnevert think
my sins too great, too aggravated, too pre-
sumptuous, to hinder me from fleeing to
Christ. The weight of my sins should act
like the weight of a clock-the heavier it
is, it makes it 60 the faster.-OfcCheyne

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.-Judge Foraker,
the Republican candidate for Governor of
Ohio, formally opened the campaign in Gin
cinnati Saturday night with an address be-
fore the Lincoln Club. He took strong
ground in favor of high protective tariff,
and criticised the Democratic platform,
which he declared "wanted tariff for rev.
enue and also fora little protection" Speak
ing of the liquor question, Judge Foraker
said he believed the Scott law would stand,
because the principle was just and enternal
Republicans were committed to it, and
would 60 through with the work without
either explanation or apology. Liquor was
responsible for three-fOurths Of taxation, a
heavy burden, and must be made to con-
tribute to the treasury. Even this require
ment would not wipe out the evils 1t had
caused.
Judge Hoadly, the Democratic nominee
for Governor of Ohio, opened his campaign
at Hamilton on Saturday evening. Judge
Hoadly was greeted with cheers when in
troduced, and began his remarks by saying
that che was there as the representative OF
a Democracy as old as that of Jefferson, but
SO new that, God willing, it will newly oc-
cupy the offices of this State and nation"
After paying a high personal compliment
to his opponent, Judge Foraker, he said
that the Republican ticket was nominated
to follow the old beaten paths. He was
willing to be the butt of all personal attacks
as to character and belief, but had no quar-
rel with the personality of the opposite
party, while he would hold high conflict
with the principles of the Republicans. He
then proceeded to consider the Republican
platform, saying that he wished to avoid
making a keynote speech, as last years eff
fort in that direction by Governor Foster
had proved disastrous. Taking first the
declaration of achievements in the Republi-
can platform, he said that party had a habit
of getting back to the future, and pointing
with pride to the past. He then read a
paraphrase of the platform as it ought to
be. He included among those ACHIEVEMENTS
the theft of the Presidency, the whisky ring
and the star route frauds, the destruction of
the navy and mercantile, marine and river
said reasons why Chase and Greeley. and
thousands of good Republicans should have
left the party.

THE BEATER BEATEN.-A farmer came
into grocery store, the other day, and eX-
hibited to the eyes of an admiring crowd an
enormous egg, about six inches long, which
he avowed to have been laid by one of his
own hens Hehaditwrapped in cotton, and
wouldn't let any one have it for fear Of
breaking the phenomenon. The grocery
man examined it with the rest, and, in
tending to chaff the countryman, said:
"Pshaw! I've got something in the egg
line that will beat thatw
"pll bet you s. you can't" said the coun-
tryman, getting excited.
"Take it up," replied the groceryman,
and going behind the counter he brought
out a wire egg-beater.
"There is something in the egg line that
will beat it, L guess" said he, reaching for
the stakes.
"Hold on there" said the farmer, "let's
see you beat it;' and he handed it to the
grocer. The latter held out his hand for it,,
but dropped it in surprise on the counter,
where it broke two soup plates and a platter.
1t was of solid iron, painted white.
''Some folks think they're darnation cute" +"
murmured the farmer, as he pocketed the
stakes and lit out, "but faint no use buck
in against solid facts. ."-Chqt.

Yesterday, and the wagon wheels rolled

of some kinds of produce has resulted. The

on the next, produce will be rushed in so
rapidly that prices will fall to the lowest
