SHEPHERDSTOWN, w. VA. FRIDAY, JUNE 49, 1885,
REST.


My feet are weary and my hands are tired,
My soul oppressed
And desire, what have long desired
Rest-only rest.
'Tis hard to toll when toll is almost vain,
In barren ways;
'Tis hard to SOW and never garner grain
In harvest days.
The burden OF my days is hard TO bear,
But God knows best;
And have prayed, but vain has been my
prayer,
For rest-sweet rest.
'Tis hard to plant in spring and never reap
The autumn yield;
'Tis hard to till, and when it's titled to weep
Ger fruitless field.
And 80 l cry a weak and human cry,
So heart oppressed;
And so sigh a weak and human sigh,
For rest-for rest.
My way has wound across the desert years,
And cares infest
My path, and through the flowing OF hot tears
pine for rest.
And am restless still; twill soon be Ger,
For down the west
LIES sun is setting, and 1 see the shore
Where shall rest.

George, dear" she said, after George
had proposed and had been accepted,
sand you wouldn't think it strange if |
were to ask you to sign little paper to
the effect that we are engaged, would

George was too happy to think any
thing strange just then, and he signed
the paper with trembling hand and a
bursting heart.
Then she laid her ear against his mid
die vest button AID they were very
happy.
"Tell me, darling," said George after
long delicious silence, "why did you
want me TO sign that paper? Do you
not repose implicit confidence in my
love for yOu?"
"Ah yes" she sighed, with infinite
content, "indeed l do; but George,
dear, | have been fooled so many times. "

Brsck Goolsby, tells Of little boy
who was sent by his parents to enter
school in the neighborhood. Just as he
arrived at the school room the class In
Greek was called up to recite. As he
entered the door one of the big boys
rose, and, looking at him, began to call
the Greek alphabet, "Alpba, beta, gam
ma. delta, epsilon, zeta," /" etc. When he
pronounced the last letter the little fell
low turned on his heels and ran as II
for life, not stopping until he arrived at
home. His mother met him and wanted
to know what was the matter. The lit
tie fellow said: "Mamma, just as i got

got up and cried out, ALFRED, beat him,

The scientists now in Charleston inyes.i-
eating earthquake phenomena have ex.
pressed their displeasure at the unreasonable
view oil the disturbance taken 10y the minis
ters OF that city in their Sunday sermons
This does not much rebound To the credit of
the scientific men who have 80 clearly i'm
pressed the world with their own insignifi.
cance in the presence OF immeasurable power;
and though the clergy may have erred in
taking undue advantage of the situation and
incidentally increasing the terror OF the peo-
pie, 1t should be remembered that they
gave them refuge from their alarm. If
the frightened negroes whose loud prayers
and weird hymns so add to the fantastic de.
tails OF the terrible picture had not this safety
valve OF religion, ii is hard to tell to what
dark deeds their terror aud wild pauic
might not have driven them. The presence
Oh destroying force beyond all human
knowledge or the thought of human control !;
that has in ages past blotted out cities as a
man destroys an ant hill, is terrible alike to
the Ignorant and the educated. Religion il
the natural and necessary refuge from the
frown OF such black disaster.

A few days ago the foreign dispatches
were full Of praise of M. de Giers, the Rus
sian minister of foreign affairs, and now
the cable tells us that his course has not
met the approval Of the car, his master,
and that he will be speedily replaced by
the Russian ambassador TO France. We
hardly credit the story, because it comes
from Paris, and may have originated in
the minds of the Russians who are fright
ened over the evident understanding be-
tween the car S government and Bismarck.
But the remarkably clumsy character of
recent Russian diplomacy appears to indi-
cate that the car has been interfering
with the work of his minister; and it may
be that he has determined to take the
reins in his own hands. The present ruler
Of Russia is held by many to he plainly
marked with the insanity that has been the
curse of the Romanoffs, and though a man
of great natural ability, is impetuous and
headstroDg; domineering his ministers and
impatient of advice.
If he has cut loose from NJ. de Giers. h.
he has made the longest step towards war
since the announcement that Batoum
would no longer be free port, and the
careful, delicate hand of that astute states
man who 50 skillfully averted war with
Englanda a year ago will soon be missed
in European politics.

THE Adams Express company may have to
pay heavy damages Tor their unwarranted
proceedings against Mr.. Pratt, of Philadel-
phia package OF $4,000 WAS missed and
Pratt was seized upon fragment of circum-
stantial evidence, the mere fact that he
sealed the sale without calling another
employe to witness the operation. His good
name has been darkened by the telegraphing
of the accusation from ocean to ocean, and
his eventual acquittal, which seems inevitable,
will not clear it of the blot The action OF the
company in giving undue weight to a trivial
incident is most culpable, Tor in its transit by
rail over along distance there arc many other
ways In which the safe may have been robbed,
and the leaden seal replaced as before. When
Mr.. Pratt strikes back he will doubtless max @
the fur fly, and prove more clearly than ever
the clumsiness of the modern detective.

Gus reflection III what Mr.. keebler has said
about the prohibition question. Tuere is
something in the blood of the German race,

which will always resent any such interfer.
ence or meddling. / may say that il | am

President keebler then introduced Max
well Stevenson, and after the applause with
which he was greeted had subsidized he made
short address, in which he spoke eloquent
ly of the charities OF the Caunstattar society
aud the thousands of dollars that it has dis
llb Ttllel DI want ana misery
aud sorrow. He paid high tribute to the
German character and to the value of the
German element in the community
w. L. Hensel was then introduced and
commenced his address by declaring that hs
was candidate for nothing except member
ship in the Cannstatter, but that he came to
bring to Its members the greeting OF their
fellow citizens OF German birth and extrac-
ton in the interior OF the state. He spoke
OF Lancaster county and all Eastern Penn
sylvania a. being largely indebted to the
German population for the fact that il
IS the richest agricultural country in the
Union. He said that there seemed to be a
feeling growing among those whose families
had been Tor more than one generation in
this country that there was danger to our in
stitutions from the incursion of foreign immi-
grafton. This he did not believe. He alluded
10 the donation oi 500 made from the festival
to the Charleston earthq quake sufferers as an
example OF the brotheriy feeling of the Ger
man citizen to his fellow citizen of any race
or color, and said, "Better than all the yield
OF the fields, better than all the products of
the mines and quarries, is the integrity and
high qualities of the citizenship which you
have brought here"

PLAYING an Astute Game.

The abdication of Prince Alexander of
Bulgaria is so little in line with the CON
duct that might have been expected from
a ruler of such well demonstrated courage
as to create the impression that it is not
meant as final withdrawal from the thea
tire of action; an impression which is con-
firmed by the report that the Bulgarian
assembly will re-elect Alexander to the
royal place. Certainly it is most remarkable
to see ruler in sound mind abdicating
his authority while the people are calling on
him to remain. 1t is an eSper ience so novel
as to imperatively suggest something in it
unreal. There is some game of astuteness
being played. Prince Alexander gets
down, apparently, to oblige Russia. 1t
may be assumed that he acts upon the
counsel of Bismarck and of his German
connections. There is evidently bending
on his part before the Russian force but
to believe that there has been such a break
ing as his permanent abdication at
Russias instance, would show that he
IS not the bold prince he has been taken
for and that he has shown himself to be.
We are much mistaken if his figure has
disappeared from European politics.

III is now believed that the great Charles
ton earthquake was due to comparatively
local displa ements. The origin of the dis
turbance may be ascribed to the formation of
subterranean hollows. Professor Palmieri
thus explained the terrible but local earth
quake of 1851 at Casamicciola, the deep hot
springs having gradually eaten out cavern
ous spaces underneath the town. II scien-
tific study of the late shocks at Charleston
proves that they were due to such eyiseera-
ton of the deep soil by chemical degrada-
tion or the solvent action of water there
