gold, and the jewels, are arranged with
sufficiently artistic effect for her appear
ance before the Throne of Grace. These
things are wrong only in the manner in
which they are used. The golden calf is
all right as an ornament, or plaything,
but the moment it is set up before the,
mount of Divine worship, that moment
it becomes dangerous, sinful. Let us
come to the Lord-not bringing our
trinkets of gold to be cast into idols. but
bringing true, loving hearts, and an
earnestness of purpose which shall tell
upon eternity. The Lord helps those
who help themselves, and our lives on
the earth are largely what we make
them.
columbus Journal.1
The publishers of the Enquirer and
Commercial Gazette were arrested in
Cincinnati last week for advertising
the Louisiana lottery Of course they
promptly gave bail, and in police court
on Saturday their cases were contin-
ued till February Is. There is no
more fragrant violation of law than
that Of which these papers are guilty
and all who sill them. The statute
is explicit and yet these publishers, by
the use Of the past for the future
tense, resort to a technical trick for
the violation of law. The CONNER
cial Gazette admits that the gambling
Of lotteries is a great evil, and goes
into an able explanation Of it's compe-
tition with the Enquirer, from which
nothing better is expected. The pol
ished writing of the Commercial Ga
zette cannot veil its shame in this
matter The fact cannot be disputed
that these vicious advertisements are
inserted for revenue only. They pay
better than any others. It is known
that the worse an advertisement is for
society the higher rates it commands.
The State Journal rejects all such
inducements. The proposals of the
Louisiana lottery have come so often
that we know what they are. They
are also rejected by other papers for
the reasons that they are an injury to
patrons and contrary to law. 1t would
be far less injurious to advertise faro
banks. Some people are ashamed to
go to faro banks to gamble, but the
lottery can be resorted to under cover.
The money Of workingmen, poor wo-
men and of all classes pours into New
Orleans every month in tremendous
volume. The rivulets that empty
into the tributaries of the Mississippi
do not contribute more literally to
the waters of the gulf than do these
savings from all parts of the land to
the great wheel over which Generals
Early and Beauregard preside at sal
ary of $4,000 each per year. The
stock in the lottery is the best issued
and not in the market. All connected
with the dras0ing have mansions and
princely incomes. They can afford to
pay we'll such newspapers as will lend
themselves to the scheme, for the pub
lication of the attractive list that
shows the exceptions of luck and does
not name any Of the 999who contrib
uted their "fves and tens in vain. In
any other place men would be pun
ished for publications that prey upon
society and are contrary to law, but
in Cincinnati no examples in anything
are to be looked for. 1t is certainly
the province Of journalism to correct
evils not to fall in with them. to pu-
rify public sentiment not to pollute
it, to lead in the ri ght not in the
wrong, to spread broadcast that which
is wholesome and profitable and not
that which is poisonous and vicious.
The newspapers Of Cincinnati might
have prevented trouble in the past
and it is no credit to them now to be
brought to a sense of their duties in
police court
The pain and misery suffered by
those who are afflicted with dyspepsia
are indescribable. The distress of the
body is equalled or surpassed by the
confusion and tortures of the mind,
thus making its victims suffer double
affection. The relief which is given
by Hoods Sarsaparilla has caused
thousands to be thankful for this
great medicine. 1t dispels the causes
Of dyspepsia, and tones up the diges-
tive organs. Try Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The ice scream joke comes in now
when the dear creatures fall on the
