The Blind Spinner.

Like blind spinner in the sun,

| know that all the threads will run
Appointed ways;
know each day will bring its task;
And, being blind, no more ask.
| do not know the use or name
OF that spin;
| only know that some one came
And laid within
My hand the thread, and said Since you
Are blind, but one thing you can do"
Sometimes the threads so rough and fast
And tangled fly
know wild storms are sweeping past
And fear that
Shall fall, but dare not try to find
A safer place, since am blind.

That tint and place,
In some great fabric to endure
Past time and race,
My threads will have so from the first,
Though blind, never felt accurst.

From one short word
Said over me when was young
So young heard

My brow and sealed me his though blind.
But whether this be seal or sign

1t matters not. The bond divine
Inever doubt

And glad, and blind, wait his will;
But listen. listen, day by day,
To hear their tread
Who bear the finished web away
And cut the thread,
And bring Gods message in the sun,

Indiana Left Out.

From the New York Sun.
Curious, that Indiana should have
no representative upon the democratic
campaign committee this year.
The doubtful states of New York,
Connecticut and New Jersey have
each a committeeman. North Carolina,
where there may possibly be trouble
for the democracy, is represented by
Senator Matt Ransom.
MARYLAND, surely democratic, is rep
resented by Senator German, and a
GOOD man he is to have around head
Quarters. Maine and Pennsylvania, in
no sense doubtful states, were drawn
upon in the organization OF the COM
mittee.
So was Illinois, which is about as
likely to be captured for Cleveland
this year as the moon is to tumble
from the sky.
But Indiana, chronically doubtful
Indiana, the battle ground OF so many
campaigns. the home of the repuDll-
can candidate for president, indie
spensible this year to democratic sue
cess if by any accident either Connec-
ticut or New Jersey should be lost,
has no representative upon the demo-
cratic campaign committee.
Perhaps there is a good reason for
this. Perhaps every member OF the
campaign committee intends to be In
diana's especial representative, and
give particular attention to the politl-
cal affairs in that state from now until
| November.
We do not infer that the demon
STATIONS of Brother New at Indian
| apolis have so terrified the democratic
managers that they have concluded
to abandon Indiana to General Har-
rison, and stake everything on the
undivided fifty-one ELECTORAL votes of
New York, New Jersey and Connectl-
cut.
Such policy would be the greatest
of political plumbers, add therefore the
worst of political crimes. But its
rather singular that Indian should be
| left out.

The Rurving Beetle.

Nearly every one is familiar with
this industrious beetle, and many
have, perhaps, watched its opera
tons.
Noticing that dead moles and other
small animals laid on the loose
ground soon disappeared, Mr.. Gle
ditsch concluded to investigate the
cause. Accordingly, he placed a
mole in the garden, and on the morn
ing of the third day found it buried
some three inches below the surface.
Though wondering why this service
was performed for the dead mole, yet,
as he saw only four beetles under the
carcass, he reburied it and in six days
found it Overrun with maggots. 1t
was not until then that the thought
struck him that these maggots were
the offsprings of the beetles he had
seen; and that they performed the
burial rites in order to provide place
to deposit their eggs, where henewly-
Matched young might have food for
their nourishment.
Con tinuing his observations, Mr..
Gleditsch placed four of these beetles
under a glass case, with two dead
frogs. One pair buried the first frog
in twelve hours, and on the third day
the second one was similarly disposed
of. The professor then gave them a
dead linnet, and pair of the beetles
set to work to bury it.
They pushed out the dirt from be-
meath the body; then the male drove
the female away, and worked alone
for about five hours, turning the bird
around in more convenient position
and occasionally mounting the body
to tread it down.
After resting for an hour it proceed,
ed as before, alternately eXcavating
away the earth and pulling the bird
from below, and then treading il
down from above.
1t was buried by the end of the
third day. In fifty days the foul
beetles had buried four frogs, three
small birds, two fishes, one mole, two
grasshoppers, the entrails of a fist
and two mOrsels of the lungs of an OK

AN EXPLANATION.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted
If you will remember few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively unknown
Ito day it is as common as any word in
the English LANGUAGE. yet this word
covers only the meaning of another word
used by our ferefathers in times past -
So it is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what our
grandfathers called Biliousness, and all
are caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver which in
performing its functions finding it cannot
dispose of the bile through the ordinary
channel is compelled to pass it off through
the system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. Yeu who are
suffering can well appreciate cure. We
recommend Green's August Flower. Its
cures are marvellous.
