AS Jesus was alone in the wilder
ness when he consecrated his life to
truth and duty, so will it be too often
with all those who devote their lives to
the same high purpose. Those who
are willing to stand by the absolute
right will find that they must stand
alone. Those who ought to stand by
them are scattered every one to his own
place. Yet are they not alone for God
is with them.

THE burden of the teaching from
the pulpits and schools of the world is,
as it ought to be, love. Affirmative
teaching is always best. But that is a
noble sentiment of Frederic Robert
sons: 81 will tell you what to hate.
Hate hypocrisy, hate cant, hate intol-
erance, oppression, injustice, pharisa-
ism; hate them as Christ hated them
with deep, abiding, god-like hatred"

SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1888.

If the tree fall to the north or to the
south there it must be. In the work
of saving the world every word spoken,
every act done, on the right side helps;
because when the word, or the act, has
gone forth it cannot be recalled; and if
it be on the right side there it must be.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-08-04

We believe that there is one God, whose
nature is Love, revealed in one Lord Jesus
Christ, by one Holy Spirit of Grace, who will
finally restore the whole family of mankind to
holiness and happiness.

We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the OLD

character of God, and of the duty, interest and

We believe that holiness and true happiness
are inseparably connected, and that believer
ought to be careful to maintain order, and
practice good works; for these things are good
and profitable unto men.

NOTES.

The saying HE will never set the
river on fire." is forever inapplicable to
one certain boy who actually did set the
Chicago river on fire the other day with
a parlor match.
Then fainting soul arise and sing;
Mount. but be sober on the wing;
Mount up. for heaven is won by prayer;
Be sober, for thou art not there;
Till Death the weary spirit free,
Thy God hath said, "'Tis good for thee
To walk by faith and not by sight;
Take it on trust a little while;
Soon thou shalt read the mystery right
In the full sunshine of his smile.

LIVELY ACCUSE TIONS.

The Shepherdstown Register sp-
plies the birch to some of the demo-
cratic leaders by using General Gofi
as the medium, thusly:
"The Republicans of this State are
beginning to complain considerably
about General Golf. They say that
he is always ready and willing to ac-
eept Office from his party, but when
1t comes to "shelling out" for the
good of the party he buttons up his
pockets very close. There have been
few such men in the Democratic
ranks. Nothing has been too good
for them to receive, but they have
always taken precious good care of
their pocket books, no matter how
urgently money has been needed"
SNYDER, come around and look at
our books and see how sore we are.

Twice Married at 10.

WINFIELD, Mo-, Feb. IA girl who
looked not older than l3 years of age
was taken up at the Union Depot on
Sunday night. She stated to the
Chief of Police that she had been de-
serted by her husband, and that she
had come to st. Joseph to look for
him. The police were at first disin
clined to believe the girls story on
account of her extreme youth, but
it was afterwards learned that she
was telling the truth. About two
years ago she was married in Grundy
county, Mo-, to Robert Peterson, a
boy II years ofagc. Two children
were the result of this marriage.
Her husband died, and she returned
to her fathers home near Highland
Station.
Her father seemed to regard her
as burden, and she was compelled
to marry John Stevenson, young
man of the neighborhood, % years
of age. The last marriage occurred
about three months ago, and until
Tuesday last the two lived happily
together. Then Stevenson decamp-
ed, leaving her without food or fuel.
The little she had was sold, and she
started in pursuit of her husband.
She saw him in Mound City. but he
contrived to elude her, and she start
ed for st. Joseph.
She was kindly taken care of, and
Mayor Doyle provided her with a
ticket to Hickory Station, Grundy
county, where her father reside7.

GREASY IMPURITY.

Congress, or at least q committee
of the House of Representatives, is
wrestling with the wicked manipula
tors of hog fat, to the end that the
people may have pure lard. The
strange fact appears by actual analy-
sis and testimony before the commit
tee that lard bearing the stamp of
Armour Il Co., "Pure Refined Fam
lily Lard" was found to contain about
sixty per cent. Of hogs lard with
twenty each of cotton seed oil and
beef fat. A sample of Fairbanks &
Co.'S Chicago "Prime Refined Family
Lard" was made Of the same ele-
ments, but had greater proportion
of beef fat and cotton seed oil. A
sample bearing the stamp OF Halstead
& Co.'S, "Pure Family Lard" and
another from the same firm stamped
in Spanish "Pure Lard, Registered, !"
etc., contained, so far as the tests
had been carried, not particle Of
hog lard, but was made entirely of
beef fat and cotton seed oil.
This kind of cheating with cheap
gssds and obtaining prices Of pure
should be made q criminal
offence.

THE BLAIR BILL.

The senators from West Virginia
are outspoken in their opposition to
the Blair bill for educational pur-
poses, and place their objection up
on constitutional grounds and as in
terfering with local education as
carried on by the states. There are
many people who disagree with the
senators on this question. 1t is con-
ceded that majority of the senate
will vote for it and believed that the
measure will receive its death in the
house. 1t is popular with the peo-
pIe, for the reason, that, direct local
taxation for public schools would be
reduced if not entirely removed. The
surplus in the treasury could not be
used to better advantage or serve a
more useful purpose, and such use
would prevent the miserable and Of

ties aud plates on. Without a hitch, and
what is more, without a single accident,
everything moved right along, until the
job was completed,

contractor, deserves credit for the workman

The building is 80 feet long by 45 feet
wide, all under one roof, which is to be OF

ample stabling for all ordinary farm stock
and fodder rooms, manure yard and
ample and convenient arrangements for

have threshing floor the whole length OF

1t will be one of the finest buildings of the
