I wonder If, 'twixt Behring's straits
And Terra del Fuego,
Betwixt AtlantIc's cloudy states
And sunny San Diego
One woman lives, white, black or red,
Who would, Should invite herr
For "wOrse or better" dare to wed

If she these lines should chance to
scan,
And prove her desperation,
She'll find me every inch man,
Though humble is my station.
Why should / wait, and wait, and

And dream of love forever?
Pm going to Wrestle with my fate
And whip 1T, now or never.

BY seeing as much as you can of the
world. But ere you set out either as
tourist, commercial traveller or emil
grant-whether you go by rail, steam
ship or steam GOAT, provide yourself
with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which the travelling public recog-
nizes as the finest medical safeguard
and preventive of sea sickness with
which any one iourneying by land or
water can be provided. 1t furnishes
to the western pioneer adequate pro-
lection against malaria, rheumatism,
and those disorders of the bowels
which mIasma tainted water beget.
Its sedatve effect upon stomach
perturbed by the rocking of a ship 10
truly magical, and it is a capital APP
petizer and nerve invigorator. Ex-
cellent is it for billiousness and kid
ney inaction, and it counteracts, in .
remarkable degree, the effects Of
fatigue, physical or mental. After
wetting and exposure in inclement
weather, it should be used as a pre-
ventive. 3-25-6t

CONCERT.

Prof. G. w. Davis, of Olivet, closed
the second term of his singing class at
Morristown, on Saturday evening, by a
concert. The exercises were opened by
prayer by Rev. Morton, of the M. E.
Church, after which the class, which
was chiefly composed of misses from 10
to IA years of age, sang a number of
pieces, eliciting the admiration of the
audience. Miss Jessie Bowles presided
gracefully at the organ, and won ap-
plause, and also rendered beautifully
the song and chorus, "If the waters
could speak as they flow." Mr.. E. S.
Mead, of Olivet, made hit as tenor
singer in the quartettes, "Pm wander
ing down life's pathway" and "Won-
drous Love" Mr.. John Sipe, in the
selection, "When my ship comes over
the sea-" developed fine bass voice,
and was warmly encored. Rev. Morton
came in for his share of applause when
he sang the solo, "Keep in the middle of
the road" and Miss Ola Shepherd, who is
possessed of fine voice, won laurels as
a contralto in the quartettes, "Will the
moonlight come again." and when "My
ship comes over the sea-"
Altogether the concert was an enjoy
able one, and speaks well for the ability
and faithfulness of Prof. Davis as
teacher.

THE Martins Ferry correspondent of
last Sundays Register indulges in sundry
speculations regarding probable candi-
dates before the approaching Republican
Convention, and names some excellent
men for the various places, most of
whom have no thought of entering the
lists for nomination to an Office.
Concerning the place of Representative,
with which the correspondent connects
the editorial brethren, it is safe to say,
that no name save that of Hon. A. L.
McKelvey will be presented to the Con-
vention for nomination, for it is gener-
ally conceded that he has made careful
and useful member of the House and is
entitled to be re-nominated.
The correspondent makes some pointed
and well put suggestions regarding the
character and qualification of the men
who should be nominated, especially for
Commissioner-that is he should be
man with business sense-a man who
has business experience and good finan-
cier. The Convention should make a
note of the suggestions.

WELLsBURG, w. Va, Aug. 1, 1889.
Editor Belmont Chronicle:
Prof Mitchell, who has been Principal
of our schools for about eight years, re-
moved to your place this week to accept
the same position in your schools. In
his departure the Wellsburg school loses
one of the ablest and best Principals that
it has ever had. As he goes to your place
stranger, let me anticipate that you will
find in him as we have done, an able and
successful teacher-one whose influence
grows steadily as ne becomes better
known, not only as teacher, but as citi-
zen-a teacher not only possessing ability
and learning, but method and order
teacher in the highest sense, not only one
who labors hard for the improvement of
the mind of his pupil but the uphOlding
of his moral character-one who teaches
by precept and example absolute truth
fulness and honesty, believing with Plato,
that there is nothing more akin to wis
dom that truth" Just such Principal
as l think the intelligent people of st.
Clairsville would wish at the head of
their schools. X.
