WE WILL HOWL.

There is no need of hiding the matter
at all, but the first thing the republican
administration coming into power on the
18th of March shOnld do for the west is to
see that all Land Notices shall at once
go to the republican press. We call upon
our representatives in congress to look
after this matter for us. We shall certain
ly keep up an everlasting howl until it is
done, and we want all republican papers
out here TO join in the racket. The way
in which this thing has been worked for
all there is in it. by the dems. is sufficient
excuse for little noise now-Wallace

Readers of Dickens are often heard to
say that their ideas of his characters are
derived quite as much from Cruikshank's
drawing as from Dickens writing. This
is singular error; George Cruikshank IL
lustrated "0liver Twist" and part of
sketches by Boz, and no otherof Dickens
works did he illustrate. The pictures COM
monty credited to him were almost all made
BY Hablot K. Browne, and the mistake is
the more remarkable because Mr.. Brownies
name appears on the title page of nearly
every one of the novels, and his signature,
"Phiz, at the bottom of nearly every
picture. The writer has often had diff
Guilty in making people, who ought to have
known it of themselves, believe this, so
deep-rooted is the belief that Cruikshank
illustrated the most of Dickens works.
But all doubters are referred to the title
pages and to the pictures themselves.

Talmage on Newspapers.
From Lhe MlnneapolIs TrIbane.

FROM ire MlhledPOilS AFiDuhe
Every newspaper reporter in New York
is my personal friend. | have been be-
trayed by about every class of men in the
world, but never by newspaper man, and
believe there is spirit of fairness abroad
in the newspapers that is hardly to be found
anywhere else. There is no man, however
poor, if he has been done an injustice, that
cannot get himself set right by the news
paper. We find great deal of fault with
the newspapers Perhaps by our own in-
distinctness we are reported as saying just
what We did not say, aud there is a regular
riot of commas and semicolons and periods,
and we get used to talking about the blum
dering printing press. Or sometimes We
take up paper full of social scandals and
divorce cases, and we talk about the filthy,
scurrilous press, but could preach whole
sermon on the everlasting blessings of a
good newspaper. A good newspaper is the
grandest temporal blessing that God has
given the people of this century.
an the first place all the people read the
newspapers, and the newspapers furnish
the greater proportion of the reading to the
people. They don't read books. The old
people look for the deaths, the young look
for the marriages. the business man reads
the business aud financial columns, and those
who are unemployed read the want ads.
Great libraries make few intelligent men
and women, but newspapers lift the nations
into sunlight
"My idea of good newspaper is mirror
of life itself. Some people complain be-
cause the evil of the world is reported as
well as the good. The evilmu be reported
as well as the good, or how will We know
what to guard against, or what to reform
There is a chance for discrimination as to
how much space shall be given to reports
of such things as prize fights, but the news
paper that merely presents the fair and the
beautiful and the bright side of life is a
Misrepresentation. Tha, family is best
qualified for the duties of life who have
told to them not only what good there i:
in the world, but what evil there is in TIE
world, and is told to select the good ant
reject the evil.

A Simple Relief for Lung Troubles.

The Cocoa (Fla.) Spirit says; During
visit to the home of a most estimable
lady living on Indian river, this editor
was told of discovery that had been made
which may prove boon to sufferers from
lung or bronchial troubles. This lady
having heard that there was peculiar virtue
in pillow made from pine straw, and
having none of that at hand, made one
from fine, soft, shavings, and had the
pleasure of noting immediate benefit Soon
all the members of the household had
pine shavings pillows, and it was noticed
that all cough, asthmatic or bronchial trou-
bles abated at once after sleeping few
nights on these pillows. An invalid suffer-
ing with lung trouble derived much bene-
fit from sleeping upon mattress made
from pine shavings. The material is cheap
and makes very pleasant and comforta-
ble mattress, the odor Of the pine perme-
ating the entire room and absorbing or dis

WEAKNESS.
From the London Hospital.

From the London Hospital.
A tramp knows what it is to be leg
weary, farm laborer to be body-weary,
literary man to be brain-weary, and a
sorrowing man to be soul-weary. The
sick are often weary, even of life itself.
Weariness is generally physiological ''ebb-
tide, which time aud patience viii con-
vert into Glow" 1t is never well to
whip or spur worn-out horse, except in
the direst straits. If he mends his pace
in obedience to the stimulus, every step is
is drop drawn from his life-blood. Idle
ness is not one of the faults of the present
age; weariness is one of the commonest
experiences The checks that many a
man draws on his physiological resources
are innumerable; and, as these resources
are strictly limited, like any other ordinary
banking account, it is very easy to bring
about balance on the wrong side. Ade-
quate rest is one kind of repayment to the
bank, sound sleep is another, regular eat
ing and good digestion another. One
days holiday in the week and one or two
months in the year for those who work
exceptionally hard usually bring the credit
balance to highly favorable condition;
and thus with care and management ply
siological solveney is secured and main
tanned But physiological fortune is as
good a thing, or even better thing, than
a money fortune. Stored resources, well
invested, keep the mind easv and the body
youthful If, however, man have not
these, but only enough of strength to GO
on steadily from day to day, he should
watch carefully against excessive weariness.
4 feeling Of prostration is the dark thun-
der cloud that portends change in the
atmosphere. Health, like weather, may

in the world can properly satisfy hunger
except food, so no drug or stimulant of
any kind except rest can restore the weary
TO energy and health. The doctors tonic
is a very good thing in its way, but it win
no more act as a substitute for rest than a

SWINGING WITH THE TIDE

MORNING.
1t is morning in the world; our hearts leap up;
For what may come before the noon of night?
The stars may hold to our lips Fortunes cup,
And we may walk from darkness into light.
Dear God, we thank the for the boon of day,
Return our love and lead us up the way
NOON.
So many roads run DER the mangled earth
And We must choose before the day is done.
such brave desires within our souls have birth
And must they die and vanish with the sun?
All, no! Oh, tell us which road we must take,
Before night eomes-before our poor hearts break
TWILIGHT.
To morrow-yes, 10 -morrow-they will come;
Fame. Love and Pleasure in splendid group!
From the horn Of plenty Wen take every crumb,
As up the road to Happiness We troop
Wen bless our sOrrows when away they roll
For Adyersitvs the builder of the soul
STARLIGHT.
There are 50 many jewels in the sky,
That, surely God meant one for you and me.
one pure white star might lead us from on high,
Out through the rank morasses to the sea-
Into and through our souls the stars might glow.
Then. unafraid, we'd see, and trust and go.
MOONLIGHT.
The moon sails through the melancholy skies.
The stars have disappeared. The restless wind
Is racing through the world, with sighs and cries
And now the moon is gone, the world is blind
Where are the roads that lay before our feet.
When morning dawned, and our hearts bravely beati
MIDNIGHT.
We are cropping cropping, cropping in the dark.
Is that a light We see, far up the road.
Or just a wall The storm is growing. HSrk
There's someone calling There. put down the
load.
