Two Striking Condolences.

MEssRs ED1ToRs:-In 1916, perhaps, the
Rev. B. M. Smith, D. D., was about clos
ing a pastorate of several years of Tink-
ling Spring church, Waynesboro', then a
part, and classical school over the store
room lately occupied by VIM. Withrow.
He thought Waynesboro' strong enough to
throw off it's swadling clothes, and so ad-
vised; adopted. The aRevs. W. I. Richard
son, D. D., and R. l.. Dabney, d. D., had
been fellow-students at the University of
Virginia and the Union Theological Semi
nary. The first was put in charge of
Waynesboro', the other Of Tinkling Spring.
Coincidence No. 1. George Craig was raised
on South River, not far from Weyer's Cave.
He married sister of the late Hugh Guth-
rie. The late James A. McCue, of Messy
Creek, sold him the Andrew M. Gatewood
farm, at the head of Knapp's Creek, in Poca-
hontas county, W. Va. There his son New
ton was born, and with relatives in Waynes-
boro', was in part educated there, and con-
nected himself with the church of which
Mr.. Richardson was pastor. Wedonot know
the antecedents of the Rev. M. Hale Hous-
ton, but he also connected himself as a
young man with the same church. Now,
the Rev. Newton Craig, D. D., at Balti-
more and Rev. M. Fl. Houston at same
place, represent the Southern Presbyterian
church in the two Boards of Domestic and
Foreign Missions. Coincidence No. 2.

"But month is so long" he said
With droop of his boyish head.

Four whole weeks and three days more;
Thirty-one days and each will creep
As the shadows crawl over yonder steep;
Thirty-one nights and shall be

"But year is so long!' he said,
Uplifting his bright young head.
"All the seasons must comp and go

Over the chasm deep and wide,

Slowly raising his stately head,
"But there's much to win, there is much t.

And he must be strong to wait!
The years my be long, but who would wea
The crown of honor must do and dare.
No time has he to toy with fate
Who would climb to manhood's high estate.'
"Ah! life Is not long," he said,
Bowling his grand white head.
"One, two, three. four, five, six, seven
Seventy years! AS swift their flight
AS swallows cleaving the morning light,
Or golden CLEANS at even.
Life Is short as a summer night
How long, o God, is eternity?"

As an indication of the improvement of
the county, one riding out of Waynesboro'
down South River will, in distance of
five or six miles, find an elegant, tasty
mansion of George Freed nearly completed,
frame, covered with tin. A fine barn fin
ished year or two ago stands between it
and the road. A short distance below,
Mr.. John Harner has just finished hand
some barn covered with tin, painted red,
and four Dormer windows in the roof, each
surmounted with an ornamental lightning
rod. Opposite and across the river, his
brother William has one painted white. A
mile or two below, MIR. Samuel Yount, at
the old place, is about finishing hand
some frame house, covered with tin, on a
commanding site, and an ornament to the
neighborhood. Spot.

TUT Ullt SFECIAIOh.
History Versus Blaine.

DEAR SPEcTAToR:-Thinking that a lit
tie scrap of history at this time might not
be devoid of interest and instruction to
many of your numerous readers, l have
ventured to ask for space in your columns
to publish the following from the history
Of England by the greatest of modern his
torians, Macauiay:
In volume l., chapter g. p. 80, the author
says: 'In every experimental science there
is tendency towards perfection. In every
human being there is a wish to ameliorate
his own condition. These two principles
have often sufficed, even when counteracted
by great public calamities and by bad in
stitutions, to carry civilization rapidly for
ward. No ordinary misfortune, no Ordina-
ry misgovernment, will do so much to make
nation wretched, as the constant progress
of physical knowledge and the constant
effort of every man to better himself will
do to make nation prosperous. It has
often been found that profuse expenditure,
heavy taxation, absurd commercial restric-
tions, corrupt tribunals, disastrous wars,
seditions, persecution, conf1agrations, in
undations, have not been able to destroy
capital so fast as the eXertiOns of private
citizens have been able to create it 1t can
easily be proven that, in our own land, the
natural wealth has, during at least six CEN
turies, been almost uninterruptedly increas-
ing; that it was greater under the Tudors
than under the Plantagenets; that it was
greater under the Stualts than under the
Tudors; that, in spite of battles, sieges,
and confscations, it was greater on the day
of the Restoration than on the day when
the Long Parliament met; that in spite of
maladministration, of extravaganza, of
public bankruptcy, of two costly and un-
successful wars, of the pestilence and of
the fire, it was greater on the day of the
death of Charles the Second than on the
day of his restoration"
So the history of former ages in England
repeats itself in the history Of the Republi-
can party in this our age and country, and
refutes the absurd claim of James G..
Blaine in his letter of acceptance, that the
immense increase of the wealth of the
country, during the period mentioned, is
due to Republican administrations and pol
icy; and fully and satisfactorily explains
the reason why the country has prospered,
even under the most extravagant, corrupt
and shameless of administrations that the
United States has been afflicted.
Consider then, my dear readers, what a
country this would be with an honest and
economical government and with the mar
kets of the world open to our surplus pro-
ductions, and 60, then, to the polls next
November, and sturn the rascals out" by
voting for Cleveland and Hendricks and
Reform. Thus, and thus only, will you
realize in your day and generation the
dawning of the grand future of your coun-
try that yet lies beyond the present time.

Prevent Decay Of the TeOth

With their surest preservative, aromatic
SOZODONT. Whiteness of the dental
row, healthful rosiness and hardness of
the gums, sweet breath, an agreeable
taste in the mouth,-all these are conferred
by SOZODONT. Does not such an in inval-
liable toilet article, one so pure as well as
effective, deserve the popularity it enjoys
Most assuredly. 1t has no rival worthy of
the name. The ordinary powders are moth
| ing to it, and since its appearance, have
rapidly lost ground. Sold by druggists.

BEFORE THE FARMERs.-Mr. Cleveland
and Mr.. Blaine have recently appeared be-
fore the farmers, in one case in New Eng
land, in the other in New York, and the
contrast between their speeches is greatly
to the credit of the former. Mr.. Blaine
availed himself of the occasion to talk poll
tics in rhetorical strain, whereas Mr..
Cleveland was modest and sensible in his
remarks, plain. sailing and direct. The
New England farmers, perhaps, enjoyed
the top-loftical style in which they were
addressed; but the common sense talked by
Mr.. Cleveland. was worth whole volume
of the rigmarole INDUCED by the "Dodger' -
of Maine-NorfoM Landmark.
