Mrs. HENRY G. HEDGES, wife of the
Republican nominee for Congress, In this
district, is perhaps personally better
known in Wellington than Mr. Hedges,
She visited here last winter and again in
June, in her official relation as President
Of the Woman's Home Missionary Society
OF the North Ohio Conference, at Its
largely attended annual meeting, and was
reelected to her office. She is an intelli.
gent and pleasant lady. Theirs is a
spacious and comfortable residence
in a handsome part OF Mansfield,
where is combined the seclusion necessary
to the ideal home, with cordial and gen.
erous hospitality that makes delightful
memories for their guests. The dignity
and solidity of an old mansion is rendered
attractive, interesting and elegant by the
artistic handiwork Of its mistress, the
souveniers Of travel brought from mine
and mountain by Its master, and by the
acquisitions that come naturally TO per-
sons of culture and taste. Mr.. Hedges is a
genial host, and besides his qualifications
as statesman is gentleman Of literary
tastes, and skill in repartee; and his wife's
friends. for whom this scribler speaks, will
be quite willing to see him win in the
congressional race.

The fact that so many of Governor
Clevelands political friends, and even his
friends on such papers as the religious
New York Independent, seek to excuse
the common weakness Of humanity" with
which he is charged by the Democratic
and Independent press, certainly does not
speak well for them It really looks as if
there might be fellow-feeling for tel-
bowman in their efforts TO excuse crime
that relegates the weaker victim to life
of disgrace while the cause of her sorrow
is warmly welcomed in virtuous families
and honored with a nomination to the
highest office in the gift of the people,

CHAPLAIN EARNsHAw, Of the Soldiers
Home, at Dayton, believes there are not
over five hundred vicious Troublesome men
at the home, while there are 5000 respect
able ones. He says politics has been a
curse to the institution. Those with strong
appetites and weak principles are sure to
get whiskey at election, the voting pre-
cincts being without the gates, and it takes
from six weeks to two months for these
men to recover from Generalization. An
mediate asylum should, he thinks, be con-
nected with it. The lack Of employment
is also great curse.

Conduct Of Life.

Plain living breeds sound thinking
But the whole tendency of the present
time is against plain living, and to be
contented with little has come to be
counted vice. Even the humblest are
teIpted to what to them seems luxurious
living. The universal rule is to work
harder, spend more prodigally. But the
wise man knows that he had better spend
less and keep some leisure Tor himself; for
thought, study and healthful recreation.
He wrote wisely who said: ITO count
but few things necessary is the foundation
of many virtues" ."[-Charles Nordhof.

THE revision of the Old Testament
Scriptures is completed, and will probably
be published by next Easter. 1t is thought
that the work has been more thoroughly
and satisfactorily done than that on the
New Testament Substituting the trans
lations in the New Testament suggested
by the American Committee would, in the
opinion of many, very much improve the
new English version, and it is probable that
they will be generally adopted in this
country before many years. The King
James version or translation did not come
into general use until fifty years after its
publication, but it is not probable, judg.
ing from the favor which it has received,
that half that period will not elapse before
the present version will be the acknowl.
edged standard.
