The first sweet breath of SIMMER
Had iioated o'er the wave.
To woodland. vale and meadow,
4 richer green IL gave
A deeper blush was on the cloud,
\ wilder, merrier lay,
Sang robin as he hadc f"r"wan
To the fearful mont. 3. :!
The orchard still forest seemed
Ui blossoms. sweet and fair,
And fragrance went like incense forth
Upon the sunny air.
Beneath the richly boughs.
Needing not flower or bird.
A fair young girl was siei ilY
Reading the sacred wnrd.
Sweet seeker. i'll that precious foEut.
A pearl, a jewel lies,
Whose priceless worth shall ope for thee
The gates of Paradise.
Ger spoIless robe and holy book,
over her tresses bright,
The scented snowiiakes softly fell -
The blossoms red and white.
A light was shining In that heart.
a hymn was sounding there:
y smile, a sweet and hopeful smile,
Shone OH those features fair.
She saw no cleaning of bright wings
Above her softly spread,
Nor knew their golden shadows lay
Upon her youthful head.
Ere autumn to those orchard bonghs
Her dover of fruit had given,
Amid a countless. dazzling throng
That fair one sang in Heaven.

A couple Of young men living at
Wellsville, Mo-, were rivals for the
hand of one of the fair Wellsville
daughters. They were inclined to
settle the matter by duel. When
she learned of the affair she sent
for them to meet her at the hour
set for the fight and after reminding
them that duels were unlaw-
fui and the victor would be a fugi-
tive from justice the rest of his
days, she suggested that they run
foot race, her hand to be the
prize. The young men accepted
her proposition and she umpired
the race and walked off the field
with the victor.

BRUTALLY BEATEN.
Seven Year Old Lille Patton the
Victim Of Vicious Wom-
ans Brutality.

Deputy Constable Johnson T.
Neale, of Sailing township, brought
Mrs. Jennie Asberry to this city
this afternoon and lodged her in
Jail, to serve a sentence of one
hundred days in that institution.
Mrs. Asberry was tried before JUS
tice Holloway, of Sailing township,
this morning, and found guilty of
brutally assaulting seven year old
Lille Patton, an orphan who for
some time has been in the woman's
charge. The little girls condition
is even now serious and for a time
it was thought she would die. Her
back is one mass of bruises and in
many places the skin is torn off or
cut into shreds. One place on the
child's right thigh as large as a
mans hand is entirely robbed of
skin. The little girls skull is also
thought to be injured from blows
received by a churn dasher, a
broom handle and leather strap,
all of which were used by the bru-
tai woman.
When she learned that the girls
injuries were of dangerous nature,
Mrs. Asberry took to the woods.
She was found with difficulty and
given the greatest punishment al
lowed by law. She claimed that
the girl needed whipped. The
people of Sailing are indignant and
excited almost beyond measure.

Joe Howard's Preservation

Joe Howard, in the New York

that DR.. Otto Fullgraff, for twenty
years at the head of one of the
largest dispensa-ies, and to-day
standing at the very head of cleo
tlcism, furnished him the follow
ing recipe for making a sedative
water for bathing purposes to be
used twice day, to make you
strong, sturdy and healthful: Take
bottle and put IN 1t cup of sea
salt, a half ounce of camphor and a
half ounce of ammonia. Fill the
bottle with hot water and let it
stand twenty-four hours. Then,
when prepared to bathe with a
sponge, put teacupful of this mix
ture, we'll shaken, into your basin
and bathe yourself. 1t gives the
whole body a tonic and freshens
every faculty.

The Iron Duke to His Soldiers.

"Do your duty" were the words
of Lord Wellington to his soldiers
just before the battle of Waterloo
and history tells US how we'll they
obeyed. The same advice might
properly be given to every living
man at this time. There are many
men who would do their whole du-
ty in time of war or great need, but
when there is no such great occa-
sion, neglect their PLAIN simple
duties to their God, their families
and themselves. 1t is not for want
of honor nor because they do not
love their families, but from pure
neglect; as an instance, statistics
complied by the national authori-
ties show that more deaths result
from bowel complaints than any
other one cause, except consump-
ton, yet not more than one family
in six are provided with medicines
that will relieve or cure the diseas-
es. 1t is the duty of every man to
look after there small matters, and
protect their families, and they are
certainly at least, guilty of criminal
carelessness if they neglect to do SO.
No one can plead poverty in this
instance, as the best remedy there
is for the purpose only costs but 25
cents. The article we refer to is
Cnamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrh ea Remedy. 1t is a certain
