RANDOM THOUGHTS.


Communicated.
AS the shades Of cvenin. ap-
prOacll, yelling the light of Sab
bath day, the words OF good old
Sunday school song comes to mem
Dry, pleasing the sense Of hearing
and awakening the t0ndeSt rccOl-
lections of times long ago. Glove
at Home" IS IL beautiful song.
Love! that emotion of divine
origin which binds man to man,
and the heart to God; and home !!
(which tells Of chiluhoOd's scenes
SO dear, and speaks of many Il
cherished friend" Yes! love at
home unlocks the heart of man to
all that is pure and holy and good.
1t is at home where the principles
OF love are established in the mind
and heart; it is there We learn to
| lisp at mothers knee the hallowcd
! name of Our Father in Heaven:
and it is there we take coloring for
the great panorama Of life. Home
is the place to be thoughtful, earn
est, kind-heartel and true, and it
is the place toexemplify the princi-
pies Of the Christian religion.
There should bc no scoldin. or
regular tault-fndins at home; but
lore should always impart a ioyous
warmth to every heart. Gently
correct errors and mildly rcbuke
wrong, and live TO build up and
cement together. Constant fault
finding is 4 great mistake; it has
caused many pangs Of heart and
deadcned the scnsibillt;rs of many
brilliant minds. No time should
be wasted in fn.lin. fault that
never helps. Praise does more
good than blame. Smiles cncour-
age more than trOwnS. Sweetness
of temper, kind words and du,i
full acts make the hcarthstone
glow with genial light from
which souls rlpen for the ''aayrest
home.' Yes! we can always see
happy home. 1t forms a rainbow
of beauty and promise, and echoes
back the gladness Of kindred
hearts. 1t is this rainbow of beau.
ty and promise which forms char
acter into nobility, and it is this
that makes hearts respond to
hearts, and sympathy flow from
one to another
Nature teaches that sunshine is
necessary for the cultivation of
flowers; it also teaches that with
out sunshine there would be no
harvest. And SO is the warmth
of love and joy necessary to the
development of children. 1t has
been said that ga chill is a flower
to bud and bloom and blossom nm.

beauty Of its development, it's
fragrance permeates all around.

ferrous power, and it draws us with
irresistible strength withersocver

ulet, a river, an ocean, boundless
and fathomtcss as eternity. Moral
and immoral influences control the
destiny of men. Often from the
associations in childhood men are
influenced all the days of their
life. There is nothing more neces-
sary, nor a sweeter bliss under the
Heavens, than love at home, !

THE neted through-car system on
the B. & 0. affords unequalled oppor-
tunities for journeying without extra
expense, its solid trains passing from
terminal point to Washington without
change of ears of any class, even to
the baggage car. To all cars are at
tached superb sleeping and parlor cars,
for the faultless accommodation of
those who prefer travelling in that

The B. 6 o. is the only line in the
world running limited express trains
without extra charge, and the only line
making "limitsd" time without making
its patrons pay the more forit. Taking
out small stops, Strengthening many
curves, laying the heaviest of steel
rail, and ballasting with rock, and i'm
proving the whole line most thorough
ly, has enabled the B. & 0. to beat the
best without the slightest increasing
the ratio of danger.

The Baltimore and Ohio, the only
direct line from the West to Washing
ton, is pre-eminently the route of all
for the trip to the National Capital at
the time of the Inauguration. 1t is the
only line running the limited express
trains ON fast time without extra
charge, and the only line upon which
passengers can exercise the good old
American right of going as they please.
All the B. & o. trains run through
solid, there being no change of cars,
of any class whatever, from starting
point to destination.

WHEN one takes into consideration
the saving of hours of valuable time
and the consequent lesser expense in
attending the Inauguration pia the B.
& O., it would be some pretty strong
inducement to create desire to go to
the National Capital by any other line.
Leaving st. Louis in the morning,
Cincinnati in the evening, Washington
is reached the next day at one o'clock,
six hours in advance of the fastest
trains on other lines.

THE B. & 0. is the only line between
the east and the west running directly
into Washington, and the only line
having its own depot in that city for
the exclusive accommodation of its
patrons, will not only put its passen-
gers directly into the city, but under
the very shadow of the capitol--its
depot being within squares distance
of the capitol grounds.

THE fact that the only other through
line from the West must reach Wash
ington by circuitous route, and that
ali its passenger traffic from the North
and East must combine with all Its
western traffic on the last forty odd
miles into the capital, is the strongest
of arguments in favor of the B. & o.,
which enters Washington from the
West by one division, and enters from
North and East by another. Those
who want to get into Washington will
go by the B. & 0. and be assured Of
remaining in the cars until they reach
the city.

The QUADRUPED'sS SUPERIOR POWER.
One evening many, many years ago
the writer of this attended a social
gathering Of young folks in a Wiscon-
sin village, and after various games
had been played, all involving more
or less osculatory practice there was q
lull in the exercises, and we all sat
around in the front parlor eating nuts
and popcorn. A very fine Newfound-
land lay stretched out near the fire,
and Carrie, the lively daughter of the
hostess, called Bruno to her, told him
to stand up, and amused us for some
time by placing kernels Of corn on his
nose, and repeating, Zone, two, three
fire!" when the dog would toss the corn
up, catch it and eat it with much rel
ish. She then made him lie down and
roll over, and do various tricks, final
ly closing by having him stand on his
head. AS the noble dog resumed his
natural position Carrie said to Charlie
W: "There, Charlie, you can't do
that" Just at that moment, when all
eyes were still on the dog, he dropped
on his launches and commenced vigor-
ously scratching his ear with his hind
foot in the effort to dislodge wicked
flea. "No, I dent believe 1 cam" said
Charlie, "nor you either" And then a
cyclone of laughter swept through the
room, and Carries cheeks were the
color of the red, red rose. Those were
good old DAYS.

THE B. & O. rates for the round trip
to Washington are lower than ever
made at Inauguration time. Less
than half fare in many cases, and no
extra charge for the unparalleled time
made by its limited trains.

For previous Inauguration balls,
the tickets could only be had in Wash
ington, and the great rush for them,
of the thousands of visitors on arrival,
created confusion and consumed much
time. Now all who visit Washington
can secure tn cir ball tickets without
waiting until their arrival there, while
the many who desire them for souven-
irs may readily procure them at the
B. & O. Offices, either by personal
application or letter.

STOPPING a moment to consider
what must be the inevitable result in
depots where will be massed the arri-
walls from several roads, how strong
must be the argument in favor of the
B. & O., which has its own exclusive
depot in Washington, and no train but
its own coming in or going.

THE town of Liberty, Va, is at
present entirely out of debt, and pos
sesses property valued for taxation at
about 100000. 1t is placing upon the
market $4,000 of 6 per cent. bonds to
raise funds to secure water supply.
THE best plan for those who have
not already provided themselves with
quarters for the inauguration, is to
write to Col. Wright, chairman Com
mittee Public Comfort, at Washington.
Then, upon arrivalin Washington, the
visitor will find in the B. & o. depot a
special offices of the Committee, the
representative of which will furnish a
messenger to show the way to the
rooms reserved. In this way there
can be no confusion or trouble in get

He Evened it Up.
THE FIGHTING DOG DISCOUNTED By
PLAIN WILLIAM HENRY.

They have lighting dog in saloon
on Michigan avenue. They not only
keep him to fight any dog in the State
for spot cash, but he furnishes a heap
of fun to hangers-on by the way he
picks up such CANNES as happen to
drop inside at the heels of their mas
ters. 1t is poor week when he
doesnt's cripple three or four, and he
has killed several outright. The other
day roughly dressed man, carrying
"a whip in his hand and looking like
callous- handed son of toll, entered the
place and called for beer. He was
followed by broken hearted dog Of
respectable size, and as soon as the
loaters caught sight of the canine
there was much winking and chuck
ling.
"Better send that dog out" sus-
guested one.
''Is it agin the rules Of the house,"
NO, but he'll get chewed up"
Il dou' see anything likely to do it,
though he amt IA fighter
"There's dog in the back room
which can snake him out in ten ticks
of clock" SAID the bartender.
"Wall, | dunno. P'raps he might
and p'raps he mightn't. William
Henry allus kinder manages to squeak
along somehow"
would you have any objection to
my bringing ia my purp?'
mo, | guess not, though l never
encourage dog-fghting."
The saloon fighter from the head
waters of fighting creek was united
and ushered in. William Henry was
half asleep i'll the centre of the room
and the first thing he knew he was
rolled over and over, and something
had hold of him by the throat. 1t
was fleeting grip, however. The
fighting dog seemed to get hold of
something to discourage him and he
let go and began sneezing and cough
ing. Then it was William Henry's
tnrn and he sailed in. In three min
utes' time he had run the fighter out
doors and across the street and would
have killed him in the gutter if pede-
strains had not intelfered.
Say, stranger, how was it done:"
asked the bartender as he picked up
the remains to carry them in.
"Well, William Henry hain't no
great fighter, as | told you before, and
to kinder help him out | used about
a pound of snuff around the vital
parts. It's awful good for feas and
it sorter evens up put-up thing"
