TO see that the administration has not been

Gus action in their defeucc. Its only error
was in accepting Mr.. Keiley's resignation
of the Italian mission, aud in not forcing
the King of Italy to accept him form

but that it was spontaneous y offered him
in recognition Of his superior qualifications
We are pleased to see that those quali6ca-
tions are now recognz,h by the Post. With
regard to his future, it appears TO be under
stood that he asks nothing, and is perfectly
willing to retire to private life; but it
shc uld be remembered that he must have
suffered great pecuniary loss in the destruc
ton Of his business arrangements through
no fault of his, and some means Of compen-
sating him for that loss should be found.

A County workhouse.

Carrying out the suggestion of Judge
Goode, when sentencing some chronic Jail
birds in Common Pleas Court last week. the
Prosecuting Attorney and Jail officials had a
consultation yesterday With the County Com-
missioners as to the establishment of a work
house in which those chaps who manage to
get good living Cd the county every winter,
may occupy their spare time. The matter
has been up already, but difficulties presented
and nothing done. AS result of this last
interview, it is revived, and with the hope
that now something practical will come OF it.
The County Commissioners meet the Com
nissioners OF Greene couaty at Xeuis to-mor-
row, 10 consult as TO what, If anything can be
done toward uniting the two counties in such
An enterprise. A special act can be passed
making the necessary provisions if terms can
be mutually agreed upon. Something ought
certainly to be done, as the county Jail is
coming TO be regarded as a sort of free winter
resort by lot of worthless fellows, who steal
small articles and get themselves arrested for
the sake OF going TO Jail. Sheriff Baker has
kept them pretty busy shoveling coal and
snow and scrubbing around the Jail and court
house, but that work doesn't last forever.
Give US a werkhouse for them.

Under the Snow.


i.
Under the snow the fleet PAGERS glide,
Men with flushed faces and mates by their
side.
Urging their racers TO marvellous speed,
Passing each other with galloping steed;
These are the riders that winter days go
In swift line of beauty over the snow
Over the snow the tired tOotmen go.
Some from their shops are waking nome
This is the season when farmer and son
Rest hy the iircside for labor Is done;
Over 10 town the farmer Will drive
Beating his fingers IL keep them awe.
Over the snow the hungry will go,
Once they were wealthy, you never may
know
If trouble, or sickness. or pain brought them
Theirs is the class to dread the cold snow!
An If we knew what had led them OF !ate 80
To let 70 their toothold and quarrel with
fate.
Cnder the snow where the flowers yearly go,
Nothing can hnder-the world Is made so!
The rarest Of gardens IN sunshine one day.
Is sure To find winter in passing away
Under the snow do our loved sleep ns one,
Resting and silent with life's duty done.
Under the snow we will soon all be placed,
Folded our hands, and form heavenward
faced:
Dreaded or hopeful. our turn will arrive,
In joy or I'm sorrow with friends left alive
Yes, all are immortal, but mortal as wen.
AID Sc day of our summons no creature cs n
tell
III.
Over the snow are the pleasures We lind.
Under the snow may be JOY more refined;
Blended at last with the earth under snow,
Who shall sleep sweetest, the high or the
lowp
Who shall live longest the great or the
small?
Like the end of a king is the end of us all!
Under the snow in honor let's go,
Living and loving and spending life So
That years after going some fond friends
Will say:
For one he was noble, and brave every day.
"He made the world better, and lived such
part.
That stamped his fond image of good in my
heart
Under the snow! Breathe II once low.
A rest for ali sorrow a balm for all woe!
A meeting beyond with the loved gone before,
parting SO brief that il soon will bc DER.
Heaven grant us the blessing when we are to
20,
That our lives be us stainless and harmless rs

CURES FOR PILES,

Piles are frequently preceded by sense Of
weight in the back, loins and lower part OF
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some effecton OF the kidneys or
neighboring organs. AT times, symptoms OF
indigestion are present, fatulency, uneaslness
OF the stomach, etc. A moisture, like per-
spiration, producing very disagreeable Itch
ing, after getting warm, is a common at
tendsnt. Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles
yield at once to the application OF DR..
Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts affected, absorbing the
Tumors, allaying the intense itching, and
effecting permanent cure. Price so cents.

To the Editor Of the Glsbe-Republie:


The notices in Saturday evenings papers of
the bankruptcy of the Woman's Benevolent
Society, for which | was not wholly unpre-
pared. reminded me that / had been told
some weeks ago that one of Springfeld's
prominent citizens had emphatically remarked
'that il the churches did not do something
for the relief OF the poor this winter they
ought to close their doossl' | certainly en-
phaticaliy echoed his opinion, for this and
every winter and summer-but could not re-
frain from wonder that he should have over
looked in the daily papers of the previous
week or two, the frequent record of doua-
tions TO the W. B. S.-estimated from Sl0o
to $500 each, from this, that, and the other
church. As understand that this gentle
man is not an habitual attendant upon the
worship of God, his ignorance of other facts
OF like nature, but not so public, may be
presumed.
As member for over IS years
of one OF these churches, to which
be seemed 10 make rather contempuious
sllusion, and of the W. B. S. for nearly
the same length of time, | hope | may be
pardoned Tor taking sufficient interest in this
matter to make the folloSing statements.
And if, in any particular, they should prove
to be erroneous. hope also they may be
publicly corrected by the president OF the
W.B.S.
LIST. The churches Of our city are accus-
toned to make yearly contribution in sup
port of the ". B. s., and this year, in addi-
ton, made the Christmas donation referred
10 above
ID The means so furnished by these
churches is distinctly for the relief OF the des-
titute outside OF any religious organization.
3d. Each of these churches cared for its
own unfortunate members, and the visitors
Of the b. s., finding any OF this class, fulfill
their duty toward them by reporting them to
their own pastor as needing assistance.
Calling ourselves the followers of our
Lord Jesus Christ We do not leave brethren
and sisters in Christ 10 the charity of
strangers; mindful OF the Apostles words,
"lf any provide not for his own, and
specially for his own house, be hath denied
the faith, and is worse than an infdel."
4th. The labor OF discovering the wants of
the poor, and notwithstanding to their relief,
is almost, if not entirely, accomplished by
selt-denying Christian women, members OF
these churches.
Hoping that | have exouersted ''these
churches, then, IRON any charge OF lack OF
interest or effort in behalf OF tue poor, aud
av rring that their resources are overiaxed
this appalling winter, venture to appeal 10
any who may heretofore have sympathIsed
with the prominent citizen" in his ignorant
and thoughtiess implication of censure-have
you put your shoulder TO this wheel which
demands SO unusual an outlay of strength
this year? Have you borne your share OF
this burden that has proved to be too heavy
for the women of our churches? H.
