General Butler.

TAUNTON, Mass, October 23.-Butler
spoke at Music hall this noon to about
1000 persons, mostly laboring men. His
speech in main was similar to those pre-
yiously delivered. He alluded to the let
ter from Gen. Parsons, which he charac-
terized as bosh, and said that the last time
he saw that gentleman was when he bor-
rowed forty dollars from his business man
ager in New York to get home with. In
stead of collapse OF the peoples party,
which had been predicted, he said the on
ly collapse he had heard of was that of the
Democratic party in Ohio
NEW BEDFORD, October 23.-GeGeral
Butler addressed an audience of LOO per-
sons in Liberty Hall tonight. He paid
his compliments to the press saying that all
the good things it said about him were un-
true as well as the bad.
BosToN, October 24-The Peoples party
held three large rallies in this city tonight
at each OF which Butler spoke. His first
appearance was in SOrth Boston where he
was greeted by an immense crowd. The
rumors of Intended violence TO the General
were not realized and no trouble whatever
was experienced.

TWENTY AND SEVENTEEN.

BY MARY BAIRD-FINCH.
One morning when the woods hung out
Their tassels gold and brown
stood before the looking-glass
To smooth my light hair down,
A vision DER the mirror swept
With trembling spirit sheen
The dawning love oftwenty years
Revealed to seventeen.
As in dream saw your face
With ruddy hue and brown,
The while a misty hand had writ
Your name in silence down;
The world in bloom as one bright May
Outspread its carpet green
What rosy clouds at twenty smiled,
How light at seventeen.
They called to me, / needed not.
Or only in dream,
And followed where the others led
Down by the mill and stream.
A few brief moments, too, we sang
Beneath the wooded screen,
For you were only twenty then,
And but seventeen.
October wove her red and gold,
We wandered dreaming still
The voices in the fields were hushed,
Deserted was the mill.
A white spray in my hair you twined
And praised its golden sheen;
No grief had come to twenty then,
Nor yet to seventeen.
The ashes of the years have dropped
Their shining silver down
Before the jetty boyish hair
And on the golden-brown;
But in that Beulahland so near,
Where angels stand between,
| know the love of twenty years
Will come to seventeen.

BRET HARTE.

BRET HARTE.
Lines on the seventy-seventh birthday OF
Oliver Wendell Holmes.
One day from groves of pine and palm,
The poets of the sky and cover
Had come to greet with song and palm
The whip-poor-w will-their woodland lover.
All sang their best. but one sweet note
That fairly voiced their admiration
Was his-who only sang by rote-
The mock birds modest imitation.
So we who'd praise the bard who most
Is poet of each high occasion,
Who'd laud our laureate and toast
The blithe Toast Master of the Nation.
To celebrate his fete to-day.
In vain each bard his praise rehearses;
The best that we can sing or say
Is but an echo of his verses.

CASTLE AND COTTAGE.

Said castle high TO a cottage low,
u wonder you can be content So
Just look at me-"
said the cottage low to the castle high,
Your grand position is all in your eye
Just wait and see."
Then a cyclone came, on wild fury bent.
And carried the castle off like a tent
Sure as l say.
1t saw not the cottage down in the vale.
So IT merely Just touched it with its tail,
And passed away.
Then the cottage smiled and whispered, aside,
such is the ending of too much pride
! ALWAYS knew.
Keep humble, and many a rap you'll scape,
TO high and you will be knocked out of shape
You will find this true"

4 FADED LEAF.

Wondering in the wood one day
w. outumn's golden light so sweet,
1rIare fell from its dark bough away
yeIow leaf down at my feet,
,udT thought as it fell heard
AZ" sigh escape from out its breast,
rila ne note Of a weary bird
: il settles into its nest,
,ls,ooping tenderly took
ATL rbo eypiring leaf in my hand,
,J i seemed to give me look
Auob a. could well understand.
coTsaid 20, leaf, will you tell
The history of your past life,
An the way down until you fell
Knight in the battle of life?'
And its story it sweetly told
Ofits birth in the early spring,
How il passed from its fringe of gold
Like a child OF a rich old king.
And how il grew so bread and green
And was found by the gentle breeze
And basked in mornings silvery sheen
And was taught by the grand cd trees.
And how summer came with its heat,
And the tempest with blaze and roar.
And how the storms did beat and beat
Until il was weary and sore.
And how a little bird did build
Its nest Just where the leaf could see;
Laid its blue eggs and piping filled
The wood with sweetest melody.
And once beneath its bOugh there strayed
loving pair-a noble youth
And by his side a stared-eyed maid
One soul were they and that was truth.
But what they said it could not tell,
And would not with its dying breath,
Only this: Full soon a wedding beh
Will peal of love that knows no death
And then it said: MY work is done;
No more for me the birds will sing,
No more for me will shine the sun,
For withered leaves there comes no spring.
Now lay me down and let me sleep
With the dead grass upon the mold;
Ger me the autumn rains will weep
And winds will sigh i'll winter cold"

A Very Much Mixed Family.

A class of marriages that may GER
tainly be regarded as among the &C.
centricities of wedlock are those un-
ions bringing parties into complex
family relations. Mr.. Howe tells us
Of marriage in Cornwall, in 1928,
by which the father became brother
in-law to his son the mother, moth
er-in-law to her mother; the mother
in-law of the son, his sister-in-law !;
the sister of the daughter-in-law, her
mother-in-law the son of the father,
brother-in-law to his mother-in-law,
and uncle to his brothers and sisters !;
the wife of the son, sister-ln-law to
her father-in-law and aunt-in-law to
her husband, and the offspring of
the SON and wife would be grand
children to their uncle and aunt, and
cousins of their father. Says Jeffer-
son: 'fWhen Lord Dundreary has
mastered all the difficulties of this
perplexing piece of family history
he may throw daylight into the dark
ness resulting from the intermarriage
OF the Hawoods and Cashicks of
Kent" This family complication
was caused thus: One member of
the HAYWOOD family had two daugh-
ters, one of whom was married to
John Cashick, the father, and the
other to John Cashick, the son. The
elder Cashick had daughter by his
first wife whom Mr.. HAYWOOD subse-
quently married, and this lady could
now claim her father as her son, her
sister as her daughter and her broth
er as her grand-child. This occurred
IN the seventeenth century, and, with
the help of several intermarriages
since to further cOmplicate matters,
there is not one of the descendants
of these families to-day who can
clearly define his own position with
regard to his relatives of the present
generation, much less those of one
or two generations preceding him.

father was one of the early settlers
OF the county. He has served as
deputy under j.. NJ. Hamilton, and
will make competent and efficient
treasurer.
G. j. Via, our present worthy and
competent public administrator, is
again nominated for that office. His
past official acts in that capacity will
speak more than words of praise In
his behalf, and he will carry the
county by large majority.
Samuel j. Carter is the next nomi-
nee for county surveyor. His many
friends and supporters in the coming
political contest will attest his ability
and qualifications by giving him a
big majority in November.
Next comes DIR. Philpott for ccro-
ner, and G. G. Dameron and w. E.
Perkinson for justices of the county
court. They are all worthy and well
qualified for the responsible trusts
that the people will bestow on them
in November, and they will cary the
county by very large majority.

From Cunningham. Mo.

1t is said quietness succeeds a
storm. This seems to be the case so
far as the appearance Of the Demo-
cratic candidates are concerned, as
we have not seen candidate on our
streets since the primaries were held.
But while this is true, the ball is still
in motion, and the voters and people
of the Democratic party of Cunning
ham township, and this portion of
old Charlton, gives three cheers for
the Democratic county, state and
national ticket. They say the ire
pressible conflict is at hand, and we
propose to assault and storm the
forts Of the opposition; carrying bat
terry after battery, entrenchment af-
ter entrenchment, until the last po-
litical ditch of the opposition is
stormed and carried, and the Dem
ocracy of old Charlton will carry the
county in the political contest in No
vember by $500 majority, and thus
the peoples rights will be vindi-
Gated.
The first on the county ticket is
Lucius Salisbury, for representative.
He is eminently qualified for the
high and responsible Office. He is a
gentleman of culture and refinement,
is a good parliamentarian, is a good
business man. He has served two
terms IN the legislature, and is thor
oughly qualified for the high and re-
sponsible trust that the people will
repose in hm at the coming political
contest next November.
Casper w. Bell, whose name comes
next on the list, is our present pros
ecuting attorney, and has held offices
of honor and trust IN the county for
the past ten years. He is worthy
and we'll qualified. He is gentle
man of fine literary and legal attain
ments, and will carry the county by
the largest majority ever polled in it.
James j. Moore is the nominee
for the next Sheriff of Charlton
county. He is a thorough business
man. He was born and raised in the
county, and will sweep the county by
a very large majority.
The next on the ticket is Earle B.
Kellogg. This young man was also
born and raised in the county. His

The papers are reporting a vast
nImber of crimes of the most atro-
cious and brutal character, so re-
voting that one is shocked and hor-
ror-stricken by the reading, although
the papers report them in the mildest
and most decent terms that can be
used to convey the idea. Long ago
an snspired apostle said: evil men
and sedueers shnll wax worse and
worse, decelving and being deceiv-
ed" and so it is. 1t requires more
hardihood, and a more calloused con-
science to resist the light and moral
Influences to-day than when the light
and moral forces were weaker. The
stronger these forces the greater
must be the effort to successfully re-
sist them, and this increased effort
must come from still more debased
and corrupt mind and heart; hence
as matter of necessity the declara-
tion of the apostle will be verified.
We can not justify nor entirely ex-
cuse in any case the practice of
''lynching," as it is termed, but it
must be acknowledged that it does
not surprise us that in some cases
they should occur. Outrages so
gross, SO horrible, are committed
here and there, that it is not strange.
though wrong as principle, that
summary punishment should be in
flicted on the guilty parties. We
have just seen an account of case
reported from Rhea county, Tennes-
see, where seven men were con-
cerned in most horrible crime; one
of the party was arrested, confessed
and gave detailed account of the
whole affair. The others have been,
or will be arrested, and the proba-
billties are that every one of them
will be unceremoniously strung up
soon after their arrest That they
deserve to die, no one will question,
but then it should be by and accord
ing to law. The party at whose
hsnds they die can not be justified
in their course, yet very few. if any
persons, will be surprised or think
it strange they should have done so.
We hear of very similar cases, but
not quite so bad, occurring in Texas
and at different places-east, west,
north and south. It is sad state
of affairs, and whatever else may be
said, none will deny the necessity for
great vigilance on the part Of the
officers OF the law, or for the rigid
enforcement of wholesome law.-St.
Louis Christian Advocate, August 6.

A Teachers Mission.

While enjoying few moments of
leisure we have endeavored to note
few thoughts for your universally
admired paper, that may to some ex-
tent, at least, interest the teachers
OF the county, and other readers as
well. / fear that we, as teachers, do
not fully comprehend the vastness
and depth of our mission, while we
have committed TO Our care these
children, some of whom, at least, are
expected in coming years to enroll
their names on the topmost beams of
human perfection, both in church
and State. We are prone to indulge
in the thought that our work is easy,
and confined to the school-room only.
My friends, in this We commit a
grevious error, and its effects will
continue to grow broader and higher,
until many of those whom we have
had in our charge will have their fu-
ture prospects tarnished with our
daily practices. The object of a
true teacher will be to teach, not only
by instructions while in the school in
the sciences as taught, but by pre-
cepts and examples as we'll. 1t is a
fact, known to every casual observer,
that there are great many children
attending our public schools who are
being reared, as it were, spontane-
ously with comparatively no emblems
of true manhood and womanhood in
culcated in them.
Religious and moral training
should be required at the teachers
hands. The teacher who has not at
tanned to that high moral sphere that
will enable him or her to WELD an
influence by moral suasion with their
pupils, both in and out of the school
room, has indeed fallen far short of
the teachers mission.
1t is our duty to first see that our
conduct in life Is such that it is even
worthy of the imitation of those for
whom we are to labor, for children
early learn the art of initiating those
with whom they associate. We must
endeavor to instill in their very ma
lures the wonderful results that grow
out of a well-cultivated mind. Teach
them that mind actuated by honest
principles will adorn them in society.
Teach them at all times to observe
the wonderful effects produced by
certain causes.
Teachers, remember that we are
carrying images that will live, not
only for active service In this life,
where time will deface them and
then, like polished marble or brass,
corode or drift into a state of nonen-
tity; but will be transplanted as liv-
ing images for testimony for or
against us. Then let our object be
to teach by our daily walk and con-
versation, and see that no unclean
hands shall ruffie our garments while
we attempt to retain such high and
honorable position.
We would like to add more had
we time and space, but as we do not
wish to intrude upon our kind editor,
we will at present discontinue. Hop
ing that in the above we have ad-
vanced some ideas that will be found
to be of practical utility to the teach
ers, more especially. Very respect
fully, I. j. STANDS.
