In the wood WALKS aiona

In the wood walks alone,
With the sad, dying year,
While the winds sob and moan,
And the dead leaves are thrown
Dry, drifted and sere,
In the wood walks alone.
The old days we have known
All unstained by tear;
While the winds sob and moan,
Dressed in seeming long gone,
Hover living and near,
In the wood walks alone.
The great branches groan
Like to mortals In fear,
While the winds sob and moan;
For the months are laid prone
On their black, sodden bier,
In the wood walks alone,
While the winds sob and moan.
Ali the Year Round.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

Good breeding is surface Christianity.
Arrogance is the obstruction of wis
dom.
A well-governed appetite is a great
part of liberty.
Idleness is hunger's mother, and Of
theft it is full brother.
Avoid popularity; it has many snares,
and no real benefit.
He that is not open to conviction is
not qualified for discussion.
A slowness to applaud betrays cold
temper or an enviOus spirit.
Eyes raised toward heaven are always
beautiful whatever else they may be.
All my goods are silver and gold, even
my copper kettles, says the boaster.
Men are born with two eyes, but with
one tongue, in order that they may see
twice as much as they say.
The freedom of some is the freedom
of the herd of swine that ran violently
down steep place into the sea and were
drowned.
Neither human applause nor human
censure is to be taken as the test of truth;
but either should set us upon testing
ourselves.
PositiveneSs is a most absurd foible.
If you are in the right, it lessons your
triumphs; if in the wrong, it adds shame
to your defeat.
Houses are built to live in, more than
to look on; therefore let use be preferred
before uniformity except where both
may be had.
There is in every human cOuntenance
either history or a prophecy, which
sadden, or at least soften, every reflect
ing observer.
Do not justify all your actions. Do
not appreciate the things as they touch
you the nearest, and have not your eyes
always fixed upon yourself.
To guard the mind against the temp
tation of thinking that there are no
good people, say to them: "Be such as
you would like to see others, and you
will find those who resemble you"
When men are most sure and ar
rogant, they are commonly the most
mistaken, and have then given views to
passion, without that proper delibera-
tion and suspense which can alone Sc
cure them from the grossest absurditieS.

THE AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT

AT THE OHIO CENTENNIAL.
General Hurst, Director General OF
the Ohio Centennial Commission, has
issued another Exposition circular, the
sixth of the series, which will be of
special interest to farmers and horticul-
turists. The circular is as follows:
COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 10, 1888.
The Centennial Board offer $1,000 in
four premiums for the best county ex-
hibit of agricultural products $500,
$3.50, $50 and 800 respectively. A plat
form space in the Agricultural Hall 15x
80 feet, with wall background, will be
assigned to each competing county, and
the managers of each county exhibit will
arrange and display their products ac-
cording to their own taste and judgment.
The Board will furnish materials for
platforms, tables, pyramids, etc.
Space will be assigned in the order of
the receipt of applications. All appli-
cations must be made by August 6. All
exhibits decaying, or greatly deteriorat-
ing in appearance must be renewed.
Each county should be prepared to keep
its exhibit in good condition through
the entire forty days.
In preparing county exhibits the fol-
lowing rules will be observed: Wheat,
rye, oats, barley, buckwheat, flax, millet,
and grass seeds. Beans, peas, cracked
wheat, oat meal, corn meal, samp, hon.
my, and dried corn will be exhibited in
two-quart glass jars; one jar of each
variety shown. Field corn, sweet corn,
pop corn, and hominy corn, potatoes,
sweet potatoes, tomatoes, onions, turnipS,
mangoes, and cucumbers should be
shown each separate variety in basket
not less than one peck or more than half
bushel. Round peach baskets with
wire covers are preferable. Tobacco,
grasses, broomcorn, parsnips, carrots,
radishes, celery, and satisfy should be
shown in punches carefully tied. Wool
and dressed flax should be shown in
small glass cases. Butter, cheese, honey,
and bread should be shown under
glass. Canned vegetables should be
in tin or glass cans, and are subject to
examination. Picked vegetables, maple
and sorghum syrups and sugar should
be in glass. Two specimens of each
variety of melons, pumpkins, squashes,
egg plant, citrons, cabbage and cauli-
flower may be shown.
Each county agricultural exhibit may
be Ornamented with small sheaves or
other displays of grain and grasses in the
straw
Quality and variety of exhibits and
beauty of arrangement will be the main
points in determining the awards. The
county shows must be in place by Mon
day evening, September 3.
Individual exhibits and displays will
be thoroughly classified, and shown on
the center platforms of Agriculture Hail.
The rules as to entry and manner of ex-
hibiting as individuals are the same that
apply to county displays.
And now, for the encouragement Of
our workers, we want to say that we
have the promise of the finest agricultur-
al show ever witnessed in America.

aAN INFAMOUS PROPOSITION"

New York Tribune.
The Republican National platform
contains contingent proposal for the
abolition of the Internal Revenue sys-
TEN. Mr.. st. John, speaking on Staten
Island Friday night On behalf of Prohi-
bition, saw fit to characterize this as an
infamous proposition" which the peo-
pie of this country would never endure.
'The Republican party is wrong" he de-
clared, lin proposing to take the tax
from whisky because it is wrong to take
tax from any iniquity." Mr.. st. John
has an infirm memory that is not efficient
for any period longer than thirty days.
He has forgotten the platform adopted
by his own Prohibition party during the
last week of May. He must allow us to
refresh his memory by quoting directly
from that platform the following passage:
"The Prohibition party, in National
Convention assembled, acknowledging
Almighty God as the source of all power
in government, do hereby declare e.
4. For the immediate abolition of the
internal revenue system, whereby our
! National Government is deriving sup
port from our greatest National vice"
That is the platform on which Gener-
al Fisk has been nominated, and which
ultra-temperance men are now support
ing. Itdeclares sunequivOcally and with
out reserve for the immediate abolition
of the Internal Revenue system. Yet
Mr.. st. John, referring to contingent
proposal of the Republican National Con-
vention for the abolition of the same
system, after various other eXpedients
have been employed to dispose of the
surplus, says that it is simply infamous"
He does not perceive that he condemns
his own platform as san infamous prop
osition."
While the ProhibitionistS demand san
immediate abolition of the Internal Rev
enue system" the Republican platform
suggests this course merely as a remote
contingency. The party stands COM
mitted to the policy of reducing the sur
plus without interference with the inter-
ests of protection and American indus
tries. 1t favors the immediate repeal of
the taxes on tobacco, by which the rev.
enues of the government will be reduced
$30,000,000. 1t advocates also the re-
moval of taxes on spirits used in the arts
and for the mechanical purposes. 1t
recommends also the immediate revision
of the tariff, with view of checking the
importation of such articles as are pro-
duced in the United States, and also of
releasing foreign importations Except
luxuries) which are not produced here.
The repeal of these taxes and the revis-
ion of the tariff on these principles would
effectually dispose of the surplus reve-
nues. Then follows this clause which
considers a remote contingency:
"If there shall still remain larger
revenue than is required for the wants
of the Government, we favor the entire
repeal of the internal taxes rather than
the surrender of any part of our protect
i've system at the joint behest of the
whisky trusts and the agents of foreign
manufacturers.
This is the proposition that Mr.. St.
John, with his own platform demanding
the immediate abolition of Internal Rev
enue taxation, condemns as "infamous. "

VIRTUES OF GLYCERINE.

Scientific American.
Few people realize the Importance of
the use of pure commercial glycerine,
and how it can be used and made avail
able for purposes where no substitute
is found that will take its place. AS a
dressing for ladies' shoes nothing equals
it, making the leather soft and pliable
without soiling the garments in contact.
Where the feet sweat, burnt alum and
glycerine-one of the former to two of
the latter-rubbed on the feet at night,
and light or open sock worn, the feet
washed in the morning with tepid wa
ter, will keep during the day free from
odor, so disagreeable to those persons
who are sufferers.
For buniOns and corns, cannabis in
dicus and glycerine, equal parts, painted
on the buniOn or corn and bound around
with Canton flannel, adding few drops
of liquid to the flannel where it comes
in contact with the affected parts, will
soon restore TO health.
AS face lotion, oatmeal made in a
paste with glycerine two parts, water
one part, applied to the face at night,
with mask worn over, will give in a
short time, if faithfully pursued, ayouth-
full appearance to the skin.
AS a dressing in the bath, two quarts
of water with two ounces of glycerine
scented with rose, which will impart
final freshness and delicacy to the skin.
In severe paroxisms in coughing,
either in coughs, colds or cOnsumptives,
one or two tabIespoonfuls of pure glyce-
rine in pure rye whisky, or hot, rich
cream will afford almost immediate re-
lief; and to the consumptive a panacea
is found by daily use of glycerine inter
nally, with the proportion of one part OF
powdered willow charcoal and two parts
of pure glycerine.
For diseased and infamed gums two
part of golden seal, one part of powder
ed burnt alum and two parts of pure
glycerine, made in paste and rubbed
on the gums and around the teeth at
night, strengthens and restores the gums
to health, provided no tartar is present
to cause the disease, which must be re-
moved before applying.
And finally, the epicure who relishes
nice breakfast dish of fried fish will
find "a feast for the gods" by frying the
fish in glycerine to brown, adding a
small sprig of parsley when nearly done.

INFANTILE SKIN DISEASES.

Our eldest child, now six years of age, when an
infant six months old was attacked with virulent
malignant skin disease. All ordinary remedies
falingwe called our family physician, who attempt
ed to cure it; but it spread with almost incredible
rapidty until tie lower portion of the little fel
lows person, from the middle of the back down to
his knees, was one solid rash-ugly, painful, botch
ed, and malicious. We had no rest at night, nc
peace by day. Finally, we were advised to try the
Cuticura Remedies. The effect was simply mary
wrought, leaving the little fellows person as white
and healthy as though he had never been attacked
In my OPINION your valuable remedies saved his
fectly well, no repetition having ever occurred.

No ONE pursuit, however valuable in
itself, should completely engross the
manhood or womanhood of any individ-
ual. Where it so exhausts the strength
or the powers as to leave but poor, in
effective remnant for other things, it
is time to pause and to abstain.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING.

In all diseases of the nasal mucous
membrane the remedy used must be non
irritating. The medical profession has
been slow to learn this. Nothing salts
factory can be accomplished with douches,
snuffs, powders, syringes, astringents or
any similar application, because they are
all irritating, do not thoroughly reach the
affected surfaces and should be abandon
ed as worse than failures. A multitude of
persons who had for years borne all the
worry and pain that catarrh can innict
testify to radical and permanent cures
wrought by Ely's Cream Balm. 2S2t

IT is this unquiet self-love that rem
ders us so sensitive. The sick man, who
sleeps i'll, thinks the night long. We ex-
aggerate, from cowardice, all the evils
which we encounter; they are great, but
our sensibility increases them. The true
way to bear them is to yield ourselves
up with confidence to God.

WOOL AND POLITICS.

Ohio State Journal
1t is not the fault of the wool growers,
but their misfortune, that the finished
product of their industry has been made
the football of partisan politics. One
party favors a reasonable protection to
this important American industry, by
taxing the foreign product brought here
for sale; the other has not only declared
in favor of free wool, but has made
''free WOOL the password, the sshibbo-
leth" of party fealty and the test of
Democracy.
If the voter can frame his mouth to
say "free WOOL he is recognized as a
modern Democrat in good standing by
the leader of that party. If he can not
frame his mouth to say ''free WOOL" or
hesitates or shutters, he is adjudged a
political enemy to be drummed out of
the Democratic camp. Strange, isn't it,
that under this test Thomas Jefferson,
James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew
Jackson and James Buchanan-five
Democratic Presidents of the United
States, who together administered the
government for more than thirty years
would be adjudged disloyal and drum
med out of the Democratic camp!
The successful existence of this great
American industry is political ques-
tion TO be decided by the result of the
election next November. The price of
wool, whether it shall go up or go down,
turns on partisan politics instead of
business principles. Wool is high poll
ticsl Business recoils from the sugges-
ton of such uncertainty, and however
much producers, merchants and manu-
facturers of this staple may deplore the
present outlook, they can not correct it
and deal with it as matter of business.
Wool is politics. The conflict RACES the
fiercest about the golden fleece" and
the innocent sheep. Mills says that "if
free wool is stricken from his bill there
is nothing left in it worth fighting for"
Wool is the outpost that guards the cit
adel of protection to American labor.
That surrendered to British free trade,
and the other industries, one after an
other, must yield to British gold
What say the f1ockmasters? Will they
stand idle and see their f1ocks destroyed
by such wolves, when they can so easily
protect them with the ballot? They can
and will elect the next President and the
next Congress.
Justice Bateman & Co., wool commits
sion merchants Of Philadelphia, July 3,
issued circular showing the average
price current for the last four months at
Philadelphia; also price under the Mills
free-wooI bill, based on the average
price of secured wool in the London
market 1t shows Ohio and Pennsylva-
MIA washed clothing woods, Xxx and
above, % cents per pound; same under
Mills bill, 173 cents per pound; fine de-
laine, washed, combing wool, X, Xxx
and above, 81 cents per pound; under
Mills bill, 23a cents per pound.
The above are average Philadelphia
prices on last years clip. The highest
offering for those qualities net to the
farmer for their years clip is 25 cents;
and if wool is placed on the free list by
the passage of the Mills bill will fall at
at once to 16 cents per pound net to the
farmer. Citizen wool growers, please
study these figures and take your choice.

Constitutional Catarrh.

No single disease has entailed more suffering or
FASTENED the breaking up of the constitution than
Catarrh The sense of smell, of taste, of sight, of
hearing the human voice, the mnd-one or more,
and sometimes ALL yield to its destructive influence
The prison it distributes throughout the system
attacks every vital force, and makes up the most
robust of constitutions. Ignored because but lit
tie understood, by most physicians, impOtently as
sailed by qnackS and charlatans, those suffering
from it have little hope to be relieved of it this side
of the grave. 1t is time, then, that the popular
treatment of this terrible disease by remedies with
in the reach of all passed into the hands at once
competent and trustwhrthy. The new and hither-
to untried method adopted by Dr. Sanford in the
preparation of his Radical Cure has won the hearty
approval of thousands. Ii is instantaneous in al
fording relief in all head colds, sneeZn Snuflling
and obStructed breathing, and rapidly removes the
most oppressive symptoms, clearing the head,
sweetening the breath, restoring the senses OF
SMELL taste and hearing and neutraliZing the con-
StitutiOnal tendency of the disease towards the
lungs, liver and kidneys.

KNOW not why we should delay our

them, until the heart that our sympathy
could have gladdened has ceased to beat.
AS men cannot read the epitaphs in

that we neglected it when with us.
