JACKSON. OHIO. THURSDAY. MARCH -. 1875

in such manner as to render it an eX-
ceedingly careful, mincing gait. This
lameness does not of course leave q man
on meeting a brother whom he has wrong
ed, but the stiffened, shrunken joints, very
frequently become limbered by a mirac-
ulous visitation of some unseen curative.
In fact, the very approach of the wrong
ed one frequently acts as balm for aff1ict-
ed guilt. But the lameness serves to keep
I his mind upon his duty to his Creator,
and the presence of the wronged one re-
minds him of his duty to his brother. All
things, therefore, work together for the
good of the Christian, or the one seeking
Christian light, even though he be SEEM
ingly sorely afflicted.
Jacob was not like the Prodigal-living
on husks during his absence from the
land of his brother, for he had lived splen-
didly, upon the fat of the land. Yet it
cannot be denied that there is great
probability that the husk of his wrongs
to his brother hung heavily about his
heart. Yet his return was all that could
be desired. The brothers met and min
gled their tears until they washed out
|
hearts as loyal and bright as heart could
be. Peace perched upon their heads, and
hope nestled lovingly down in their lives.
Thus it is as to the relation of the child
of God to the Divine Parent at all times,
and under all forms of temporal expert
! ence We may in an unguarded moment
commit some mistake which we may reas-
| onably expect to call down the Divine
wrath. In our terror at the sinfulness of
the deed, we forget to come Immediately
to the wronged one, and throwing our
selves upon His promises of mercy, pray
for forgiveness. But the rather we rush
farther away from him, in many instan-
ces wandering for years with that wrong
hanging about our hearts, while He is
ready to forgive and reclaim US at any and
every moment. We should. never run
away from wrong. 1t were far better
to suffer in an attempt to do right, than
to run away from duty and attempt to hide
our sins. The Divine Parent ever keeps the
door open, and the gate ajar, for His wan
dering children. knock, and it shall be
opened unto you" And as Esau wept
over the return of that brother who fled
through fear of him, so the Father stands
ready to receive all his children, with all
their mistakes, if they but come to him
in the right spirit, and His great heart is
ever going aut in yearning for the return
of his erring children. Live right, before
God, and nevre try to run away from a
mistake

We would be very much pleased if our
Democratic friends who affect to rejoice
so greatly over the Democratic succession
to the Presidency would look back over
the history of the past twenty-four years,
and contemplate the immense work OF
the Republican party, which has been
faithfully performed. Let them compare
the condition of the country under Buch-
anan's administration, with it's condition
under Arthur's administration. Let them
compare the prices of labor, the credit of
the country, anything, everything, affect
ing Individual and National prosperity.
Let any intelligent Democrat do this and
attempt to say, with clear conscience,
that there is any similarity between them,
or that the last Republican administra-
ton was not incomparably better than
the last Democrat administration.

The removing" crank put in ap-
pearance promptly after the inaugu-
ration of President Cleveland. His
name is Elias Bray. He appeared in
New York, asserting that he was
going to Washington to remove"
Cleveland. He claimed to be Meth
odist Preacher, and said that he would
not murder the President, but remove
him by the power Of the spirit. He
would walk up to the President and
say "the year of jubilee has come, re-
turn, ye ransomed sinner, home," and
the spirit would compel Grover to
Immediately pack his traps and go
back to New York. But alas for
Elias! The police Judge compelled
him to pack his traps and go into
iail.

BUGLE SOUNDS!

J. II. NJ.
In varied song,
The breezes strong
Around the windows playing,
The stories tell,
We knew so well,
Far back through Times decaying.
We hear again,
Ger field and glen,
The bugle-call resounding,
From far away,
The echoes play,
From hill to hill rebounding.
In mournful knells
Its gentle swells,
By many winding river,
Repeat the tale,
And sad death-wail,
OF lives gone out forever.
We hear 1t pour
Above the roar
Of battle wildly raging
No death-gasn, now,
Nor pallid brow,
Our startled thoughts engaging.
Now falls the sound
By silent mound
Where some loved form is sleeping,
Now by the home
Where SORROWS come,
And loving hearts are weeping.
Where foemen yield
One sanguine field,
We hear its wild vibration,
Where war-fires glow,
In homes laid low,
In sickening desolation.
Down through the years,
Through joys and tears,
The varied past recalling,
Sweetly around
The saddening sound
Of phantom horn is falling.
Nearer it comes.
Now rolling drums
Augment the plaintive chorus;
Scenes of the past
Are brightly cast
In retrospect before us.
Our hearts reveal
The joy we feel.
To hear the martial drumming,
Well greet again
Those gallant men
The Fifty-Third is coming!
Not as the day
They went away,
With beauteous banners flying,
For some are still
By vale and hill
Far in the Southland lying.
Yet let our song
Be loud and long,
A welcome home'' bestowing,
Our hearts keep time
To every chime
OF phantom bugle blowing.
Cheer once again
Those gallant men
Those braves who never falter,
Who placed each life,
Amidst the strife,
Upon its country's altar.
1t sounds again
Here come the men!
List to the merry drumming;
Awake, brave boys,
To passing joys
The Fifty Third is coming!

An exchange suggests that the natural
gas companies of Pittsburgh put Limberg
cheese in their gas-pipes, to detect leak
age. A good idea. A wife would then
only have to leave the gas turned on to
keep her husband at home. The Limberg

as the Limberg and beer at the saloon.

A Just Tribute.

The Charleston News and Courier
pays the following well-merited tri-
butte to many of the south's fairest
and most worthy daughters:
elbow does it happen that in this
day, and never before, the choicest
daughters of the south, the daughters
of wealth and refinement, high-born
and high-bred, are foundin the school
room, ministering like angels to the
children of rich and poor alike? Is
not the answer at hand? Out of the
destruction and desolation of war has
sprung this great blessing. 1t is the
silver lining of that dark cloud, turned
now refulgent upon our land. What
ages Of normal progress might have
not accomplished has been wrought
by a mighty revolution within one
generation. The war is already bless
ing the south. Who does not see it,
in the schoOl-room as elsewhere? OF
the cross that we bore our children
are already wearing the crown, and
our children's children will wear ii
after Them"

Remember, My Son.

Burdette.
Remember, my son, you have to
work. Whether you handle pen or
a pick, a wheelbarrOw or set of
books, digging bitches or editing a
paper, ringing an auction bell or
writing funny things, you must work.
If you look around you will see the
men who are most able TO live the
rest of their lives without work are
the men who worked the hardest.
Don't be afraid of killing yourself
with overwOrk. 1t is beyond your
power to do that on the sunny side of
thirty. They die sometimes, but it's
because they quit work at 6 p. M,
and don't get home until 9 a. m. It's
the interval that kills, my son. The
work gives you an appetite for your
meals, it lends solidity to your slum-
bers, it gives you a perfect and CRATE
full appreciation of holiday. These
young men who do not workout
the world is not proud of them. 1t
does not know their names even. 1t
simply speaks of them as "old So-and
Sos boys" Nobody likes them; the
great busy world does not know that
they are there. So find out what you
want to be and do, and take off your
coat and make a dust in the world.
The buster you are the less harm you
will be apt to get into, the sweet
err your sleep, the brighter and hap
pier your holidays, and the bettersat-
istied will the world be with YOU.

A private letter received in the city
yesterday from Tracy City gave the
details of an atrocious and dastardly
attempt at assassination near that
place last.Sunday. Mr.. John Hege,
one of the oldest citizens in this coun-
ty, while returning home from Alta
mont on the mountain, was fred on
by some cowardly miscreant from
ambush with a shotgun. He fell
from his horse, and the assassin
thinking he was dead, took to his
heels. Mr.. Hege received four bull
lets in his arms and breast, but hopes
are entertained for his recovery.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY,

Athens Post The term Offensive
partisanship" is now understood to
mean turning n Republican out of Of
flee and putting a Democrat in his
place. Only this, and nothing more.
Lebanon Register: Politicians in
Tennessee who wish to be on the
strong side, the winning side, the
side where the people are, had better
join in with the prohibitionists. That
is to be the issue, especially in legis-
lative ranks, and whether Democrat
or Republican, every candidate will
have to cry out which side he is on,
and only one side will win.
Murfreesboro News: 1.-THE gentle
men who are so loudly believing that
the hard times are caused by Demo
cratic administration, care to recall
anything before the election last No
vember, they ought to remember that
business stagnation. and money de-
preston commenced about May, 1884,
six months before the election and
ten months before the Democrats
went into power.
Cleveland Banner: The prospect
that several of the territories will be
admitted as states next winter is very
good. The belief is that Dakota,
Washington and New Mexico will all
be admitted. Dakota, is, of course,
Republican, and if admitted will
elect Republican Senators, but the
chances are that Mexico and Wash
ington will choose Democratic Sena-
tors.
Knoxville Journal: We have as
much reverence for the courts of our
country as any man has. We do not
believe a newspaper should criticse
their acts, except for good reasons.
But when we have heard of red
handed murderers escaping punish
ment in various counties year after
year, and when we see the verdicts
of juries making murder a lower
grade of crime than petty larceny,
we believe that the press has not only
right to speak, but that it is its alb
solute duty to speak out on the sub
ject. When man can take the life
of his fellow, and go on from one
term of the court to another, getting
a continuance now, and then a mis-
trial, and then new trial, and so on,
so that justice is first evaded and then
defeated, we believe it is the province
of the newspaper press to call atten-
ton to it, and we have endeavored
to do so.

The Old Farmer Was Right.

A Republican the other day was
seeking to twit Democrat, an old
farmer, about hard times, and wanted
to know if these were the good times
we were to have under the Demo-
cratic rule. The farmer listened to
him quietly and finally remarked:
"My friend, did you ever know far
mer, no matter how thrifty, who
could take farm that had been run
ming down for twenty-fOur years, and
get good crop off of it inside of six
month? | guess not. 1t requires
some time to repair the fences, i'm
prove and strengthen the soil, clear
out the weeds and briers and thistles,
open up the drains, bitches and water
courses, drive away the vermine and
renovate the farm and buildings gen.
orally. This is just what the admin
istratiOn is doing now-putting the
national farm in order. Wait until
we get the farm in order. Wait until
we get the farm, which the Republi-
can have been letting run for years,
improved and in good condition, and
then you will see beautiful crops ;
the whole country will laugh with
rich harvests and the people will re-
joice in prosperity, Ny friend, the
good times are coming-wait a little
longer" Exchange.
