Written for the RECORD UNION
WELCOME TO THE G. Il. r.
Tuue. ne Conquered in Death. ;


Hail hail to our chiefs, who in hours Of danger,
Rallied their legions and drove back our foe;
Hail hail 10 our heroes who as the avenger,
You crushed out secession and saved us from
voc.
We welcome you all for the love you have shown
usi
Unswerviug in danger. ye saved our fair land:
We welcome you, comrades, from many
Where none but the brave and unflinching could
stand.
Ye stood forth in fmness as great walls of
granite:
Ye stood in the fore ranks as though cased in
steel
Ye hurled back the foe as with nerves wrought
Bid lear a defiance and forced them to yield.
A Nation was born through the carnage of
A Nation, the grandest, the freest on earth
As they in the past were-so shall be the future,
Nation from sires whose blood gave it birth.
Our forefathers battled on Bunker HIS summit
And showed to the nations how freeman could
die;
You fought, bled and suffered, that still on our
banner
The stara should be fixed, as the stars in the
sky.
To these western valleys We bid you wei
come;
From hands, hearts and loved homes we give
you cheer;
Prom East, North and South, with no lines of
division,
We bid you welcome to all we hold dear

BIBLE FACTS WORTH READING.

In the Bible the word Lord is
found 1853 times, the word Jehovah
1854 times, and the word reverend
but once, and that in the 9th verse
of the llIth Psalm. The Sth verse
of the IlTth Psalm is the middle
verse OF the Bible. The 9Th verse of
the sth chapter of Esther is the long
est verse, and the 35th verse of the
18th chapter of st. John is the short
est. In the l0Sth Psalm four YER
SEES are alike, the Sth, 18th, 2lst and
3lst. Each verse of the l3fth
Psalm ends alike. No names or
words of more than six syllabl s are
found in the Bible. The 37th chap
ter of Isaiah and the 10th chapter of
the Cd Kings are alike. The word
girl occurs but once in the Bible, and
that in the Sd verse and Sd chapter
of Joel. There are found in both
books Of the Bible s,bs6,4S3 letters,
1883 words, 31,373 verses, 1889
chapters and Sc books. The 2eth
chapter of Acts Of the Apostles is
the finest chapter to read The most
beautiful chapter in the Bible is the
23rd Psalm. The four most inspir-
ing promises are John, l4th chapter
I'd verse; John, 9th chapter, 37th
verse; st. Matthew, 18th chapter,
2Sth verse, and 37th Psalm, 4th
verse. The lst verse of the Goth
chapter of Isaiah is the one for new
converts Genesis, 4th, 23d and Oath
chapters give the first instance of
back ground to the Bible. All per
sons who flatter themselves with vain
Boosting of their perfectness, should
read the 9th chapter of Matthew.

TOLL ON BICYCLES.

We think the court made mis-
take when it decided that the bicy-
els is vehicle. This subjects it to
toll, which entities the rider to half
the pike, nd should horses get scar
ed, he has no more right to dismount
than the other fellow has. Then too,
the road over which he pays toll,
should be kept in good condition /;
for should he become seriously in
jured and the cause could be traced
to neglected and bad roads, would
not the authorities be indictable,
just as same as though it was team
or buggy. We think it would have
been far better to have allowed them
free passage, and compelled them to
dismount in passing scary horses.
As it is, it is, optional and indeed
many will not get off, notwithstand-
ing the fact that they see danger
ahead.

YOU GAN. THEN WHY NOT BE A
GOOD READER2

To be an expert at the piano, or a
prima donna Of the age, is not half
as charming as u good reader. One
who can get into the spirit OF the au-
ther and convey his ideas intelli
gently and forcibly to his hearers.
How often have you been charmed
by people in ordinary conversation,
and as many times envied their
gift when in truth it was an ac-
QUESTION on their part, to which you
have access. Not long ago, we sat
in company with Prof James III.
Jonet, of Wheeling, w. Va, very
often, nnmindful Of everything else
but his conversational powers, en-
bellished by soft intonations, ges-
lures. emphasis, accent, and dis
tinct pronunciation. Is any one sill
ly enough to ask /: is he good read
err? To hear Miss G. l.. Franklin, of
Harper's Ferry, read, there is not
one in fifty who would step upon the
stage and read the same piece to the
same audience. She puts pathos
and perceptible inspiration into the
word of God, when reading it. To
be master of this inestimable bless
ing gives thribble force to every 9TH
er accomplishment; happiness to
the sick chamber, satisfaction to the
social, circle and glory to the soul.

rs BICYCLE RIDING INJURIOUS
TO HEALTH

We believe it is, if properly used,
conducive to health. If nothing
equals horseback riding for con
sumptives, why is bicycle riding
hurtful? The principle thing in ri
ding "a horse is to be gently jotle andd
get plenty of fresh air, all of which
is very good; but the one thing
needful is left out, viz: vigorous ex-
ercise. BY riding the bicycle you
get plenty Of fresh air, plenty Of
jostling, and an abundance of exer-
else. We believe that if a consump-
tive, in the early stages of the dis
ease, were to learn to ride bicycle,
keep his feet dry and warm, and eat
plenty of good nourishing food--in
short, rough it in the open air, his
chances would be good for recovery.

BATHING is essential to health. 1t
prevents as we'll as cures diseases.
When people get ''bad colds" and
their lungs are clogged by'phlegm,
they do everything possible to loos-
en- them by destroying the phlegm.
Unless this is done, ten to one, con
sumption or some other deadly dis
ease will be the consequence. Well,
what is true or the inner, is true Of
the outer lnngs-the pores. When
they are stopped up by dirt. the sys-
tenn has double duty 10 perform, and
disease begins 10 show itself, and all
kinds OF contagious diseases play
havoc among such people. by all
means battle daily. 1t will brighten
up the ideas and purify the soul.

BUOKWHEAT FACED REPUBLI-


On the 4th inst, the white Repub-
leans ~ of Jefferson county, metin
Storer College, for the purpose Of
electing 20 delegates to attend the
Keyser convention. Storer College
is an institution exclusively for col
ored people; and in that county
there are over 100 colored voters
and not over It's white Republican
voters. Notwithstanding the above
fact few of there NEGRO lovers
met there, nominated and elected 20
white men, to the exclusion ofevery
colored man, there present, to repre-
sent Jefferson county, In tho Second
Congressional convention. This was
done in the presence, | am told, of
such men as VIM. III. Bell, w. b.
Hill, j. Il. Berroll, G.. w. Halter and
others. Some Of these colored men
were manly enough to upbraid them,
whereupon they reconsidered the
matter, and put on five "niggers"
not one of whom went to the con-
vention, and God knows we love and
honor them for thct independence
and long needed race pride. We are
reliably informed that Mr.. L. Of
Duflields would not go to Republic
can convention with "niggers". To
meet in that institution, where hangs
the pictures Of Storer, Sumner, Lin
coin, Carried, and the dear old saint
ed A. III. Morrel and ignore the peo-
ple for whom il was built, and is
carried on, is an insult that every
colored man in that county should
avenge. In the same county under
Republican rule, of the national
Is White republicans
held clcrkships &C., not one of
whom was any better qualified for
the work than dozens ofcolored men,
who have never been false to the
party, and for it, though frequent
were made,not one ever
filled clerkship from Jefferson coun-
ty. Now, is it not evident that you
have been and are still used as tools
and stepping stones into bread and
butter positions, by this brigade?
The moment you criticise their ac-
