he was afraid of the lash-he was used to

hen why he did not want to remove his

One of the most affecting "reminiscences
of my mother is my remembrance of her as
Christian housekeeper. She worked very
hard, and when we would come in from
summer play, and sit down at the table at
noon, remember how she used to come in
with beads of perspiration along the line of
gray hair, and how sometimes she would sit
down at the table, and put her head against
her wrinkled hand and say: "Well, the fact
is Pm too tired to eat" Long after she
might have delegated to others, she would
not be satisfied unless she attended to the
matter herself. In fact, we all preferred to
have her do so, for somehow things tasted
better when she prepared them. Some
time ago, in an express train, | shot past
that old homestead. looked out of the
window, and tried to peer through the
darkness. While l was doing so one of my
old school mates, whom had not seen for
many years. tapped me on the shoulder,
and said; "DeWitt, l see you are looking
out at the scenes of your boyhood." so,
yes," replied, 81 was looking at the old
place where my mother lived and died''-
That night in the cars, the whole scene
came back to me. There was the country
home. There was the monday table. There
we're the children on either side of the table,
most of them gone never to come back, At
one end of the table, my father, with smile
that never left his countenance even when
ne lay in his coffin. 1t was an eighty six
years srnile-not the smile of inanimation,
but Of Christian courage and of Christian
hope. At the other end of the table was
beautiful, benignant, Woodworking aged
Christian housekeeper, my mother. She
was very tired. 1 am glad she has So good
a place to rest in. "Blessed are the dead
who die in the Lord; they rest from their
labors, and their works do follow them"

THE TINES is more than willing, it

more in favor Of united, solid, ag-
gressive party, and of burying the

not read anywhere on the pages of
history of great victory which did
not result from efficient organization
under the command of man with
the ability to command and whose
commands were absolute law. Now,
in the judgment of the Republican
forces in Michigan, we are minus the
commander-or in other words a

are no fighting qualities in the gen.

in command and then we shall march

AS an evidence of public opinion

Jefferson Davis is one Of the

America has ever produced; and his
name will live and shine in history
when his maligners and traducers
have long been forgotten.
If anybody wants to howl over the
fact that this great and good and per-
secuted man is going to make speech
let them howl.
He is the modest Roman of them
all, and his speech will be worthy of
the man, the people and the occasion.
Every man in whose breast there
beats a true southern heart, is proud
Of the name Jefferson Davis, for it is
the synonym of all that is manly,
true, noble and exalted in human
character"
