1.-TWO SINNERS"
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX,

BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX,
There was a man, 1t was said, one time,
Who went astrsy in his youthful prime,
Can the brain keep cool and the heart keep quiet
When the blood Is a river and running riot:
And the boys will be boys, the old folks say,
And mans the better who's had his day.
The sinner reformed, and the preacher told
of the prodigal son who came back to the fold
And the Christian people threw open the door
With a warmer welcome than ever before;
Wealth and honor were his to command,
And spotless woman give him her hand;
And the world strewed their pathway with flowers
s-bloom,
Crying "God bless lady and God bless groomg"
There was maiden went astray,
10 the golden dawn of life's young day.
She had more passion and heart than head,
And she followed blindly where fond love led
And love unchecked is dangerous guide
To wander at will at fair girls side.
The woman repented and turned from her sin,
But no door opened to let her in;
The preacher prayed that she might be forgiven,
But told her to look for more in heaven,
For this is the law of the earth we know;
That the woman is scorned, while the man may 60.
A brave man welded her after all;
But the world said, frowning: 1--WE shall not cal"

Dyspepsia

Makes the lives of many people miserable
and often leads to self-destruction. We
know of no remedy for dyspepsia more
successful than Hoods Sarsapariila. 1t acts
gently, yet surely and efficiently, tones the
stomach and other organs, removes the
faint feeling, creates good appetite, cures
headache and refreshes the burdened
mind. Give Hoods Sarsaparilla fair
4rial. 1t will do you good.

When about five miles from Brazoria
they were surrounded by crowd of in
furiated citizens, who wrested the prisoner
from them and hung him. This may ap-
pear to be harsh and illegal action to
those who live under the protection of the
law, but in this country, where the negro
race and politicians rule, and where the
white race are but few and much scat
tered, such crimes can be suppressed only
by the certainty of swift and unrelenting
punishment.

In Deaths Last Agony.

As drowning man. indeed, doth Red
 Republicanism catch at the straw of sec tional agitation. while yet little longer it bobs up and down amid the waves of public opinion. It reaches out blindly right and left. having lost all sight of the political horizon Always sentimental ist. it's decay is marked by rush of blood to the head. and very bad blood at that. and 6abby and mawkish futter about the heart, which it mistakes for patriotism Already the cold perspira-
 tion of death bespangles it's brow. while the Reids. the Ingalls, and the Shermans run up and down the bank of the stream, which must soon hide it. beating the air with their hands. and making the night hideous with their cries. and. in their frenzy. recalling those withered hags whom our little friend Macbeth thought he encountered on the blasted heath. but who were as we now know. merely got up for the occasion by smart scene shifter for stage effect. In Shakespeare's s blood curdling drama. however. they sue ceeded ill imposing upon the superstition of a medi@val soldier of fortune as their modern prototypes shall not succeed in imposing upon the credulity of the people of the United States. It is burlesque upon statesmanship and journalism that they should imagine that they can.- Louisville Courier Journal

RELIGIOUS GLEANIMGSS.

Iowa has 352 Presbyterian churches, with an aggregate membership of A, ,713.
 Fifteen years ago the Methodists had but one conference in the state of Kansas, with only Is, 900 members. Today they have four conferences and 10000 church members, and 63, 900 scholars in their Sunday schools This is growth that certainly partakes of the marvellous
 A missionary in South Africa sends a very interesting account of society of Christian Endeavor among the Zulus. The organiza- tion is modified necessarily to meet the needs of the natives, but the main features are the same as in America. The Zulu young people take much delight in their society, are in- structed by the missionaries in Bible truth, and learn to pray and work by actual experi- ence, as do their young brethren on the other side of the globe.
 In Formosa, the English Presbyterian mission, which was begun in 1865, has 1000 converts, and the Canadian Presbyterian, which began work in the north in 1873, has 5000 converts. Dr. Mackay, of Tamsui, re- ports tho advent of Spanish Roman Catholic priests, who are endeavoring to entice con- verts, from these missions.
 During the forty eight years of the exist ence of the foreign board of the Presbyterian church, 453 missionaries, of all classes, have been engaged in the missions east and west of the Mississippi river. The foreign board has expended $520, 1000, the frea gift of the churches, beside S520,O0O intrusted to it by the goverument for educational work.

A Warm Summer Ahead.

A warm summer Au0dUs
 The Courier Journal wishes to put itself on record for once as weather prophet, and hero makes the prediction that we are going to have an unusually warm sum- mer There are more reasons than one for believing this. but one ought to be sufi- cient to convince those who are skeptical concerning weather lore that we do not speak at haphazard.
 A few days ago there appeared in our esteemed Blaine contemporary. The New York Tribune. dispatch saying that un- less the Hon John Sherman shall secure united delegation to the Republican na- tional convention from Ohio he will with draw from the canvass for the presiden- tial nomination of his party. Of course. this was absurd on it's face. Nobody who knows Mir Sherman cred. tied it. Nobody acquainted with the situa- tion in Ohio believed that he could get a united delegation from that state No body who has watched the persistent cleo tioneering which he has done for years in his efforts to secure the presidential nomi- nation could have been convinced that anything short of death could cause him to withdraw as candidate as long as he could see the remotest chance for his nomination. And so nobody perhaps was prepared for the entirely superfuous and uncharacteristically heated denia which MT. Sherman hastened to hurl al The Tribune. in which he actually grew so torrid as to brand the dispatch as ''ar unmitigated lie in substance and detail.
 Now, we submit that when the Hon John Sherman. of all men, begins tt erupt in this incandescent style. before tn, spring has fairly opened. and while tn, frost is yet in the air. there is the bes grounds for saying that the summer il going to be unusually warm. particularl, for the Hon.

 Dear friends of the republican press, your platform in 1884 made this pledge ''The republican party pledges itself to correct the irregularities of the tariff and to reduce the surplus Was this a ''straddle"! . -
 Perhaps the New York Sun will now admit. that the Connecticut democrats favor tariff reform. The state convention was composed of direct representatives of the rank and file, and its deliverance should be conclusive as to the party's position. 1 New Britain has just secured the services of boot-black, and when New Britain man goes to Meriden and gets mud on his shoes, he waits until he gets home again be- l fore he has them cleaned.

All Kinds on Hand.

The political situation appears to de- mand that Mir. Blaine should be in per feet health. and he gives the country the strongest possible assurances that he feels like fighting cock Some years ago the political situation demanded that MT. Blaine's state of health should be truly alarming. and he got up sensational case of sunstroke to meet the occasion. MT. Blaine is always prepared to furnish health in every variety at the shortest notice. and the political situation can always gel any kind of health from him that it calls for.-Chicago Herald

THE Cincinnati Post, newspaper that supported Blaine four years ago, says: Eff Clover Cleveland shall live it now seems certain that he will be nominated and that he will poll more votes than in the election four years ago. The great bugbear that a democratic administration would ruin the country has been laid and the country con- templates another four years of Clevelands s administration with perfect equanimity. , The people don't think there is any need of change just now.

PIE most surprised man in Williams port, Pa, is saloon keeper who went to draw glass of beer from keg for one of his customers and was suddenly thrown senseless to the floor. When he had re- turned to consciousness he stared at the beer keg as if trying to look it out of countenance. '.There ish von devil in dot keg," he exclaimed, shaking his fist at the object of his wrath. An examination ot the premises showed that leak ip the electric wires had somehow or other filled the beer keg with electricity so that wher the spigot was touched, the saloon keeper received a shock. Electricity seems de
 termined to get into everything, even te beer kegs.
