'She is not dead, but sleeping y
Twas thus the master said,
As eyes were dim with weeping
Around her snowy bed.
And as those words were spoken.
Maiden, say arise !"
The sleep of death was broken
And oped were beamiDg eyes.
oh, none the joy could measure
OF mourning ones that day,
As on their hearts their treasure
Once more in beauty lay.
How warm those kisses given
On lips and forehead fair.
OF her who fresh from heaven
Again breathed earthly air
And hestill lives who brought her
Back from those gates of gold;
From springs of living water.
From founts ofjoy untold.
He lives the same in power;
The same Redeemer bIest;
He gilds the darkest hour.
And gives the weary rest.
Oh, parent broken hearted,
Above your sleeping child,
Whose light seems all departed
And life desert Wild
By faith behold Christ taking
Your darling by the hand,
And JOY in her awaKing
Within the better land.

Had Men Write Good Poems.

a singular fact about hymnOlogy is
that many excellent hymns have been
written by men who were either not re-
ligiOus at all or whose claims to religion
rested OH very slight foundations. Adj
olson was never celebrated for the depth
of his piety, but two of the best hymns
in the language are accredited to him
''The Spacious Firmament ON High, {"
and when all Thy Mercies, Oh my
God" Moore was not quite a. noted
for the depth of his religious feeling as
was Addison, but the finest lyric of re-
ligiOus characters TO be found i'm English
or any other tongue, Come, ye Diseon-
sOlate," was from his pen, and has Civ
en- more comfort to thousands than per-
haps it ever did to its author. The eel
ebrated hymn, "Come, Thy fount Of
every Blessing" was written by am ir-
religious man, while Pope's ''Vital
spark of Heavenly flame" was trans
lated from Pagan poem said To have
been written by the Emperor Hardrain.
All these We're good, not because their
authors were bad men, but because they
were good poets; and besides, had an
occasional flash of genuine religious de-
votion, which expressed itself in song
with pure sentiment and good taste.

Holding the BrenIn.
Herald of Health.1


Deep breathing and holding the
breath is an item of Importance. Per-
sons of weak vitality find an uninter-
rupIed succession of deep and rapid res
pirations so distressing that they are
discouraged from persevering in the ex-
ereise. Let such persons take into the
lungs as much air as they can at a
breath, and hold it as long as they can,
and they will find grateful sense Of
relief i'm the whole abdominal region.
Practice will Increase the ability to hold
the breath and the capacity ofthe lungs.
After a short time the art may he learn
ed of packing the lungs. This Is done
by taking and holding the long breath
and then forcing more ak down the
thrachea by swallows of air. The Oper-
alton may be described by that of a
fish's mouth in water. To those who
have never learned it, il will be sur
prising to what an extent the lungs may
be packed. Caution at first is needed,
but later practice will warrant large use
of the treatment. The whole tbOratie
and abdominal cavities will receive i'm
mediate benefit, and continuance, with
temperance i'm eating and good air and
right exercise, will bring welcome i'm
prOvement.

Editor Herald:
The revision of the rules will! be the
first subject brought to the attention of
the House, and then some hill provid-
ing for the succession of the Cabinet Of
ficers to the Presidency will have ear
ly attention. But the great features of
the winters session will be the silver
question, the tariff, and civil service re-
form.
There Is marked contrast between
the situation now and that of the week
preceding the opening of the Forty
Eighth Congress. At that time Repre-
sentatives Carlisle, Randall Springer,
and Cox We're actively engaged in a
contest for the Speakership. Rival
candidates for the positions of Clerk,
Sergeant-at-Arms, Doorkeeper, House
Postmaster, etc, were busy with their
canvasses. Each arriving Congressman
was buttonholed. Now MIR. Carlisle is
conceded a reelection without question
or opposition. Mr.. Cox is on duty in
far away Turkey. Mr.. Springer is en-
thusiastic over his plan for revising the
House rules, and the distinguished head
of the Appropriations Committee is
devoting his time to financial literature,
at his quiet home on Capitol hill.
The last important appointment
made by the President gives great
pleasure to the Democrats of the Dist
rict Of Columbia. 1t was the Marshal
ship Of the District, and Col. Albert
Wilson, a well known Democratic citi-
zen of Washington, is the man. He
was born within a few squares of the
White House forty-five years ago, and
has always lived in this city. Last
evening he stood in his coy parlor, and
received stream of friends who called
to congratulate him.
His office is considered the most yalu-
able Federal Office in the district. Its
compensation is restricted by Congress
{" $1,000 year, any excess over that
amount from the fees of the office be-
Ing turned into the Treasury. The
patronage of the office consists of a
deputy at $1,000. a chief bailiff at 81 400
another at 81 300, and several at 81 100
each.
The Office had come i'm recent years
to be so closely associated with the
President personally, and with the so
clal ceremonies at the White House
that 1t was expected to be filled by a
friend of the President The selection
OF Marshall who is identified with the
locality could not but be acceptable to
the Democracy of the District.

4 Very Valuable Work.

Memorial Edition of the Life and
Deeds of General Grant, by the we'll
known historical writer, Colonel Frank
A. Burr.
This is the most complete and autheu-
tic history of the life and deeds of the
great hero that We have seen. 1t con-
tains full account of his early life his
record as a student at West Point his
Gallantry in the Mexican War his
Eminent Services to his Country in our
Great Civil War; his election to the
Presidency his Tour Around the World
with an account of the great honors
shown him by the Emperors, Kings
and Rulers of all Nations.
This book Will in no way be COM
petitor with the important work Gen
eral Grant has written. But it will be
an indispensable companion to his work
giving, as it does, such opinions and
statements in relation to his acts as he
could not, with propriety, write, and a
review of matters that he necessarily
had to leave for some other hand to pen.
Colonel Burr's extensive acquaint-
ance with the distinguished men of our
country, both in civil and military life,
as well as his wide reputation as bril-
liant and fascinating writer, has given
him access to sources of information
such as no other author, except Gen
eral Grant himself, could reach.
No career in all our history furnishes
a more brilliant example than that of
General Ulysses s. Grant. Starting AS
poor boy, he raised himself to the
highest pinnacle of fame. Ii is but nat
ural that his countrymen should desire
to know the means by which this great
success was accomplished. To meet
this demand the author has prepared
this volume, which relates in the most
facinating manner the life of this truly
great man. The work is more interest
ing than a novel, for il is true. 1t is the
story of unconquerable determination
| VI pun
pose and infiexible resolve, of incorrupt-
lille integrity ard moral courage of the
highest type, of noble effort and mag
nificent achievement, of prolonged
and determined struggle, crowned by
the most brilliant triumphs.
The book was written under the eye
and with the sanction of the most init
mate friends of the dead hero and with
the entire approval of his family. 1t
contains an introduction on his inner
life and private character by his pastor,
Rev. ]. p. Newman.
The work Is published by the Union
Publishing House, Cincinnati, Ohio. 1t
contains over 800 pages, and is embel-
ished with nearly 200 fine illustrations
of Scenes in the Life of the great Com
mander. 1t is sold by subscription only,
and Mr.. o l.. Bowen, Beda, Ohio coun-
ty, KY, who is the authorized Agent
for this section, is now soliciting sub
scriptions. We advise every one to pro.
cure a copy Of this very Interesting and
valuable work.

The Presidents Generosity
fGlaNaIanl I,o-a

a lawyer friend of President Cleye-
lands from Buffalo gives me some in
teresting gossip about him. Said he ::
president Cleveland is worth about
100000 and he owns considerable real
estate in Buffalo. which is fast growing
IN value. He made about S25, 900 a
year at his practice before he got into
politics. He is not an extrayagant man
In any of his tastes, and has never been
so. He had class of cases at Buffalo
which paid well, and he was often the
counsel for corporations in big cases
While he was Governor of New York he
gave away the whole of his salary in
charity, save that which he used for his
personal expenses and for the support of
his mother. have seen many instan-
ces of his charity. One night was
with him in his private office at the
Albany Capitol. 1t was after he had
been elected President. He was OMEN
ing his mail, and many of the letters
contained requests for aims. saw
Gov. Cleveland answer fully a half
dozen of these by enclosing IS, SO and
at one time $50 bill i'm an envelope
with kind word, and sending it to the
oeggar. One case was especially touch
ing. Ii was that of an old man in
Southern New York who had lost his
horse by death. He had little garden
patch of farm, and this horse was his
sole means of making a livelihood upon
II. He had raised some money by con-
trlDutions from his neighbors, but still
lacked enough by so to buy the horse,
winch was to serve as the support of
himself and his gray-haired wife. Some
OF his nelgLbors had heard of Cleve-
lands charity, and had suggested that
he write to him and ask him to help
him. From the tenor of the letter you
could see that the old man was very
proud OF his composition and hand
writing. He said that he had written
it himself with his own hand, and the
appeal throughout was that Of a simple
minded, unsophisticated, ehildlike per-
son. Cleveland's eyes filled with tears
as he read it, and he put twenty-dol-
lar bill in an envelope and sent it to
him with few kind words. have no

President Cleveland is giving away a
great deal ofhis salary in charity. II

outside of the White House will know
of it,"

A Poetic Tale.

A thoughtless boy with shining
pail went singing gaily down the dale,
to where sad-eyed cow with brindle
tail on clover sweet did herself regale
A humble bee did gaily sail over the
soft and Swallowed vale, to where the
boy with the shining pale was milking
the cow with the brindle tail. The bee
lit down the cows right cal her heels
flew up through the atmosphere-and
through the leaves of big oak tree the
boy sailed into eternity.

How Could He Know


James Vandiveer, Of Mercer county.

How could Mr. Vandiveer know {?
How could any man know that he kill

enemies ranks in any savage engage

The smoke shut the field in where the
desperate fighting was, and where Lyon
fell ON one side and Weightman ON
the other. One could not see, only as
the smoke liften every now and then
from the summit of Bloody Hill, thirty
yards ahead him. In the valley be-
tween the two eontending forces a
dense powder-pall had settled upon
everything, perfectly impenetrabIe.
Out Of this the Federals came again
and again to the attack. The Confed-
crates held Bloody Hill when Lyon was
killed, and the slopes that led up to it
from the south. IL was a close, hot,
suitry August day. No wind stirred.
A sulphurous stencil seemed to mount
up to the very sky. IL was give and

to have the least bit of advantage over
the other. Every now and then, of
course, and as If from sheer force Of the
conclusion Of battle itself, the powder
