The terror drawing nigh
Shall startle from my lips no coward cry !:
Nay, though the night my deadliest dread
fulfill
will be still
For oh / know.
Though suffering hours delay.
Yet TO Eternity they pass away.
Carrying something onward as they flow,
Outlasting woe.
Yes, something won;
The harvest OF our tears
Something unfading, plucked from fading
years;
Something to blossom on beyond the sun,
From sorrow won.
The agony,
So hopeless now OF balm,
Shall sleep at last, in light as pure and
calm
As that wherewith the stars look down on
thee,
Gethsemane.

WIT AND WISDOM.

UNIONTOWN.

Rev. Vance, of Allegheny, preached
on Sabbath from the pulpit of the U. P
Church; subject, "The Divine Tragedy
of Jesus Christ" Text, 'They cruel
fled him."
Much regret was expressed by those
here who knew Mrs. Elizabeth John
stOn and Miss Sarah, when the sad and
startling intelligence of their death
was received. AS regards the writer,
would say that our grief is most pro-
found. We look back to our youthful
days and the pleasant memories of the
happy home, where we were always re-
ceived with hearty and honest well
come-to the enduring friendship of af-
ter life, and will remember always their
many words and acts of kindness.
Squire Workman and wife, of near
Centerville, paid visit recently to the
home of their son, DR.. J. c. Workman,
of this place.
The family of Mr.. Jacob Cunningham,
formerly residents of Wheeling town
ship, and known to many of our citizens,
were called to mourn the loss of their
son, Mr.. Seymour Cunningham. He has
been an invalid for many months, and
his death was not unexpected, although
the fatal attack was very sudden.
Mr. Thomas Mcpherson, of Furbey,
KS, came in last week to pay visit to
relatives and friends in town and vicin-
ity. Mr.. NJ. is an intelligent and observ-
ant young man, and capable of giving
an honest description of the State in
which so many are interested. He re-
ports failure this season of all paying
crops except oats, which were good and
abundant. His father, Mr.. John. Nc
Pherson, has purchased 100 acres, and
has made good selection as regards
quality of land and favorable locality.
Every one here has kindly remembrance
of Mr.. Mcpherson and his family, and
wish them abundant success in their
new home.
Mr.. Peter Snedeker, Mr.. James Slater
and Miss SADIE Laisure, who have been
on the sick list, are now better.

THE woolgrowers of the country, who
had been specially selected by Mr.. Cleve-
land to illustrate the iniquities of the
tariff and the advantages of free trade,
have reason to congratulate themselves
on the results of the recent election as
bearing on their particular industry.
The Mills bill was a death-blow to the
home markets. Prices dropped about
10 cents a pound, and still greater de-
preston would have followed the defeat
of Gen. Harrison. As it is, wool has
advanced about cents pound, and the
flock-owners hope for still better things
in the near future.
With Secretary of the Treasury in
sympathy with the protective system,
the adverse ruling of the late Secretary
Manning which has been adhered to by
secretary Fairchild, u af wnrsted goods
largely composed of wool are autihS!a
at rate 20 per cent. less than wooden
goods, will be reversed. Under that
ruling some $25,000,000 worth of goods
have been imported that opght to have
been made in this country, and our
home laborers have been deprived of
their share of that immense sum which
went abroad for the benefit of foreign
manufacturers and wage workers. The
check to this importing business which
followed the election has been a god
send to these American industries, as
the English and German manufacturers
had every preparation made for taking
possession of our home market in the
event of Cleveland's reelection.-Pit

SMALL BUSINESS.

Cleveland Leader.
The manipulation of the Pension Bu-
reau for political purposes, next to the
scandalous mismanagement of the Post
Office Department, is probably the worst
scandal of the Cleveland administration.
The very purpose for which the Pen
sion Bureau was organized ought to
serve to prevent it from being made a
political machine in which the greed of
the partisan is opposed to the just re-
ward of the nations needy and crippled
defenders At no time under Republi-
can management was the Pension Bu-
reau ever prostituted into a machine for
indirectly buying votes. During the
four years of President Cleveland it has
been little else. Just previous to the
recent election every special pension ex-
aminer that could be spared was sent
into Indiana to work up the soldier vote.
Promises were made that it was never
expected would be fulfilled, and old
cases revived and reeXamined hoping
to stir up the sympathy of the applicant
toward retaining the existing admins
tration.. This may have done some
good in isolated cases for the Democracy,
but Ia the main the soldier vote of Indi-
ana was in line for the Republican
ticket
Since the election many of the old
veterans who were coddled and petted
by the Democratic special examiners
have received notice of the rejection of
their applications. Some of these no.
tieeS were dated as far back as Sept. 1st,
but had not been mailed. Thus while
the examiners were indirectly urging the
soldies to vote for Democracy by making
special inquiries and vague promises,
they knew that the applications for pen
sions had been rejected all the time.
Was that not a scurvy trick to play upon
the veterans? The Democratic party
never had any sympathy with the pen
sion system until they got where they
could manipulate the business as a pen
sion machine, and even then their lead
er was Vetoing pension bills as fast as
Congress- could pass them. You can't
expect much better from party that
occasionally forgets itself and cheers for
Jeff Davis at this late day, nor for
President who ignores the invitation to
participate in Decoration day exercises
by idling all day long with a fishing rod
and bait.

sCRIBNERS CHRIsTMAsNUMBER,

SOh1DNEh > OI1h1S1 Mas y | AbER.
The Christmas number of ScTi6ner'S
Magazine completes the second year and
fourth volume of that leading monthly.
The magazine opens with a picturesque
description of "Winter in the Adiron-
dackS, by Hamilton Wright Mable,
which is accompanied with delicate illus
tratlOns from drawings from celebrated
artists as W. Hamilton Gibson and Bruce
Crane. The number is rich in beautiful
decorations and pictures. The literature
deals with unusually attractive phases of
life and art especially fitted for the Christ
mas season. The fiction includes stories
of adventure and sentiment: the general
articles treat of stained glass windows,
the Adirondacks in winter, and Botticel-
Ii. There are several elabOrately illus
trated poems, and Lester Wallack's rem
mscenceS are concluded. Robert Lewis
Stevenson, H. c. Bunner, VIII H. Low,
Rebecca Harding Davis and Hamilton
Wright Mable are among the contribu-
tors. "Oid Glass in New Windows" by
Will II. Low, is the first popular account
of the rapid growth made in the art of
making stained glass windows. Lester
Wallack'S "Reminiscences" conclude with
perhaps the most interesting installment.
Mr.. StevensOn's serial romantic novel.
''The Master of Ballantrae," describes
the stirring events which enlivened the
cruise of a pirate ship, and short stories,
papers and poems complete a number
which seldom has been equaled for work
manship and material in periodical liter
ature.

IT is quite probable that nine-tenths
of the members of the Grand Army of
the Republic voted against Mr.. Cleve-
land at the recent election. They would
have been fools to do otherwise after
his heartless pension vetoes and the
Rebel flag order. If the Democratic
party ever expects to see any considera-
BILE number of the Union veterans vote
with it, it will have to change its char
acter and treat them with the considera-
ton due them, and not as though
they were enemies of the country their
sacrifices saved.

THE woman suffragists have met with
Waterloo defeat in Vermont, the low
er house of the Legislature having re-
jected their proposition to give woman
the ballot by vote of 1872 to 81. For sew
eral weeks past a strong suffrage lobby
has been at work trying to gain over the
Legislators, but it appears that strong
er female lobby has been working out
side against it. The Montpelier Journal
says large number of the representa-
tives voted against the woman suffrage
bill at the earnest request Of their wives,
and the Burlington Free Press also says:
"The result is attributed largely to the
influence of the Vermont women, who
feel that they have burdens enough
without assuming new ones"

THE Voice, which assumes to be the
national organ of the Prohibition party,
"points with pride" to an alleged in
crease of the Prohibition vote, as CON-
pared with 1884, to the extent of 49,
900. Well, if the Republican vote had
only increased 119,000 in four years,
while the Democratic vote increased
100000, as it did, we should feel that
we had been snuffed out. Seeing that
both of the old parties gained nine or
ten times as much in four years as the
third party, the latter ought to feel that
its mission, if it ever had one, is ended.
Out of 100000 voters who exercised
the suffrage on November 6, II, $50, 900,
SO per cent of all, decided that there
was no use on earth for the third party.
The little 2 per cent. party ought to
see that its existence is simply useless
obstacle to temperance reform.
