GOING OUT OF THE MINE!
J. II. M.

Co. my tools away boys, this hand is failing fast,
My breath comes thick and slowly, each would be
the last
The 'ar'' bad AID sitting, and, in my lonely
room,
I see the fire. which gives to foreshadowings of
My old lamp burns but dimly, with dull and flicker
ing ray
My time is up, must go out-go lay my tools away.
There's msny lonely entry has heard the merry
OF my good pick, swift delving, with steady blows
and strong,
As through the ebon archway moved with stubborn
pace.
And, tearing the shining coal, left but empty
trace.
My heart still loves to hover by the mne-amps feeble
But the strong faers now, boys go put the tools
away.
I've worked for many weary year, where reigns
eternal night.
Yet through the darkest, gloomest hour, my heart
ever light
For there is whose eye pierce earth's gloom
lest recess,
And, in the deepest, darkest mine, come with
powr to bless;
Now am going out, boys, IN to the light of day
hear the descending go put my too:s away
This brave old has stood the in many try
ing hour,
And, though ofttimes where dangers fell has never
lost its pow'r,
For never. in an evil deed, has this good been
raised
And sinks to peaceful rest-the Lord of Hosts
be praised.
What9 Has the lamp gone out, boys? scarce can
see its ray
But, let 1t go! need it not! Go put my tools away.
Now enjoy better air. the lamp shines full and free
And from brightly lighted comrade becks to
me;
look into the Perfect Mine and sweetest joys unfold.
Where the old picks hanging against wall of
gold;
And mines that ope with gates of pearl before my
vision play
The cage is trembling the rise-go put my tools
away.
Down from the top beaute"us light in richest spen
dor shines,
The light that ofttimes reached my heart within
earth's gloomy mines;
1t tells me that the earth my toiling days
done
1t tells me of victory by faithful spirits

Farewell, old friends! I'm-going-out! Go-put-

The Ohio Legislature is a perfect in
strument of torture in the wonderfully
oppressive labors its members are called
upon to undergo AS a specimen of the
manner in which these Statemen earn the
peoples money, we may mention the
work of the house on the 2nd. of Febru-
airy. About thirty members assembled
on that day, and, realizing the great load
of labor and responsibility under which
! the members of that body were being
crushed, an eminent statesman by the
name of Farrar, from Guernsey County,
introduced resolution to adjourn, in
honor of grounding day. This imbortant
measure-it's always important for the
Legislature to adjourn-passed unani-
mously, and the weary and overwOrked
members, who had perhaps put in full
hour of arduous labor in sitting in their
seats, wended their way slowly and
wearily out of the hall. There ought
really, as a matter of humanity, to be
some way provided by which these over
worked statesmen will be enabled to Sc
cure little needed rest for the weary
head. Two or Three days work in a
meek will kill anybody. To have such
resolutions as this spread upon the record
| for the admiration of the world may give
| our State National fame as the home of
craftsmanship, but it is killing on the
| statesmen

There is not a household in which this

saved many patients in the earlier stages
of Pulmonary Consumption. 1t IS

continuous study and practice of medicine, any
preparation of SO great value as AYERS CHERRY

FIGHTING A DOGGERY!
The Devil Must Not Open an Office at
ByGrS Station

A Jackson man was over at Byers Sta
ton. one day last week, and was an OBJ
server of a little battle between the citi-
zens of that neighborhood, and two men
who had come there for the purpose of
starting a doggery. A certain house at
that place was owned by lady named
ingalls,, who lived at a. distance. A GER
tain man moved into the house, and Mrs.
ingalls,, now living in Chillicothe, recent
ly rented the house to two men named
Lantz and King, of Macarthur, who went
over to Byers, last week, with supply of
equipments for starting doggery. But
the occupant of the house refused to va
cate. The woman was appealed to, and
came down to Byers, and appealed in per-
son to the occupant. asking him to at
least move upstairs, and permit the saloon
to go into the basement. But the man
declared that no doggery should go into
that building. The woman appealed to
league Ray-who is something of law
student-for advice, but leagues sympa-
thies were with the people who were op-
posing the doggery, and he would not be
retained as counsel.
At this point in the proceedings, meet
ing of the citizens was called, and prop
osition was made to the woman to buy
her property. She sold it, and when the
train came along, going toward Chillico-
the, she slipped onto the train, and went
home. When the Jackson man came away,
one of the would-be doggery keepers was
standing on the platform surrounded by
his traps, and cursing the world in gen.
eral, and the people of Byers Station in
particular. They do not intend to have
any doggeries up there, if they can help
it.

AT Hartford City, Indiana, there has
been for some time series of meetings
in progress, conducted by a "trance
preacher" lady named Woodworth. Peo-
pie come twenty-five miles to attend the
night meetings, and those who become
converted fall in trance" there being
sometimes as many as twelve or fifteen
lying about the church at one time. 1t
must be delightful experience for the
church member to lie in trance-and
none of them would "lie" at any other
time-and dream about the infnite-es-
pecially while the contribution basket is
passing. but it seems that it would be a
slow way of conducting revival.
This Indiana meeting calls up many
ceits. Many years ago, in this county,
people were seized with ''the jerks" while
under religious excitement. Those who
became thus affected would prepare for
it with all the deliberation of person
preparing for any other event which was
certain to transpire. Ladies would take
down their back hair (they all wore their
own hair them and when the Jerks
came on, would sway the body back and
forth, until their hair would crack
like whip. Men would fall prostrate
and lie helpless for hours. Old preachers
tell of case happening somewhere in
the West, where a man was seized with
the Jerks" and the power" came upon
him so strongly that he could not hold
himself, and he rushed to tree and seized
hold of it. Then he jerked so hard that
he broke has neck! 1t is easy enough to
conceive of the swine, on certain occa-
sion, becoming frantic because devils in

they had it rough-and-tumble, in the
creek. About the time he would get the
mutton. under the water

KHARTounf.
a Brief Description Of the Capital
OF soudan.


khartoum the chief city as well as the
capital OF the Soudan country claimed by
Egypt, is about 800 miles from Cairo.
1t stands on the peninsula formed by the
junction of the Blue and the White Nile.
The dock yards and principal landings are
on the Blue Nile. The water in the n
yer is about l 400 feet above the level Of
the sea. There is m extensive quay on
the banks of the river, where the principal
commerce Of a country as large as all
India naturally centers. The provinces
Of the Soudan are not commercial to any
great extent, but these great rivers bring
to this point a large number of ships.
The principal productions are ivory, hides,
SIENNA, gum arabic, and beeswax. The
inhabitants Of that vast country are no.
t%oriously indolent, and some one has said
that bees are the only industrious crea-
lures in the whole country. A great part
Of the city lies low, so that at high water
it is flooded, rendering il unhealthy, but
it is believed that some day a remedy for
that evil will be provided. The gardens
around the city are extensive and contain
long rows Of date palms, many of which
are half a century old, and have become
very valuable. The climate is very severe
From June to October the thermometer
ranges from 95' to 1902 in the shade, and
is about s0' in winter during the daytime.
The city was founded by Mohammed Ali
in 1923, and at the opening Of this CEN
tury only a few fishing huts marked its
site. In 1859 the population was estima-
ted at $4,000. but in the next ten years
the disturbed state of the country brought
the number down to 5000. Since then
however, there has been a marked recov-
cry, and of late the population has been
about $4,000. The town though consis-
ting chiefly Of mean mud built huts, has
a number of substantial modern dwell
ings, the most imposing Of which is the
stone-faced palace Of the governor in
which Gordon took up his abode. The
christian population is very small, but
Khartoum is the seat offs Roman Cath
Ole mission which was established by
Pope Gregory XVI in 1876. Protestant
missions were long conducted by Prof.
Ignaz Knoblecher. Several European
c~onsulates are established there.

the hours of 1 and 9. Sister Sarah was

stairs Hastily putting ON her wrapper

parted, and Sister Sarah thought 1t moved.

hearts have been given, and TO some giz-
