MToWardino HOIne.n

The first word of this heading has not yet
appeared in the dictionaries. It is Of quite
recent origin, originated by bright little
girl Of three summers. While walking with
some friends she artlessly coined it to express
their homeward approach. 1--WE are toward
ing home" she said. 1t probably expressed
to her pleasing thought. What place on
earth is so dear to child as home, and what
emotions more satisfying than those awak-
ened by an approach homeward?
"Home is home, though ever so homely."
The aged believer is forwarding home"
Long has he been stranger and pilgrim
on the earth. Long has he been away from
his Fathers home, where his Saviour is and
where his best friends and kindred dwell.
Long and often has he sighed for the dear
sacred spot. And now, at length, his jour-
ney is well nigh ended. The troubles and
trials of his pilgrimage are almost past, and
toe dear abode where he has so often and SO
ardently longed to be is not far away. Take
courage, dear Christian pilgrim, 'the night
is far spent, the day is at hand" A few
more setting suns, and your days Of gloom,
of doubt, and of sadness will be past for
ever. With respect to you, the rest that re,
maineth for the people of God is close at
hand.-[H. s. in Amer. Mess.

DR.. Tanner, the fasting man, issues chal-

and he to have only water.

The Bible.

The Bible is a large book, or small one, q
dark or bright one, according to the Spirit
in which we read it, Wranglers and first
class men will not understand it unless their
hearts are right as well as their heads. The
highest critical and grammatical knowledge
will find it sealed book without the teach
ings Of the Holy Ghost. Its contents are often
''hid to the wise and prudent and revealed to
babes" Reader, remember this and say al
ways when you open your Bible, Oh God, for
Christ's sake, give me the teaching of the
Spirit.-[Ryle. .~
Du You Pray in Secret?
Prayerfulness will scarcely be kept up long
unless you set apart times and seasons for
prayer. There are no times laid down in
Scripture except by the example Of holy
his people and to the spontaneous motions Of
the inner life. He does not say, "Pray at
seven o'clock in the morning every day." or,
"Pray at night at eight or nine or ten Or
eleven" but says: "Pray without ceasing."
Yet every Christian will find it useful 20
have his regular times for retirement, and
doubt whether any eminent piety can he
maintained without these seasons being very
carefully and scrupulously observed. We
read in the old traditions of James the
Apostle that he prayed so much that his
knees grew hard through his long kneeling;
and it is recorded by Fox that Latimer,
during the time of his imprisonment, was so
much upon his knees that frequently the poor
old man could not rise to his meals, and had
to be lifted up by his servants. When he
could no longer preach, and was immured
within stone walls, his prayers went up to
heaven for his country; and we are in these
times receiving the blessing. Daniel prayed
with the windows open daily and at regular
intervals.-ISpurgeon.

What Negro Rule Means.

Here is 4 picture OF negro rule which we
would like TO see reproduced in every paper
in the North. It's hntorically correct and
is drawn by the New Orleans Times. Demo-
cTat:
'We have bad negro government here
and we know what 1t means. IL means rob
berry, spolIatIon, bribery, and corruption; II
means moral disgrace. riot, and murder; 1t
means the Withdrawal of capital aud the emf
grafton OF oil the white people who can get
out Of the state. During the few years Of
negro supremacy in L0uidana the schools
fell of, the white population decreased,
taxes increased, and property tell in
value; the assessment steadily declined
and the debt AS rapidly increased; our le-
wees wasted away, our state expenditures
doubled, trebed. quadrupled; the large
school funds OF the parishes, accumulated
through years OF careful administration, were
stolen by the negroes who Administered
them; scarcely u law was passed save by
corruption; riots were OF weekly occur
renee, aud the number OF crlmes committed
IN the state was at least threeiold as many
as before this negro government or since its
abolition"
Yet there are white men In every south
ern State native snd 10 the insurer born that
train with the northern mslignants who
would, il they could, again bring about the
above state Of things in this section.

train 10. IS, west bound. on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, PLUNGED through burn
ing bridge over Harris Run, five miles east
OF Cameron and ihiTiy.oBe miles east OF this
city. Seventeen freight-cars were wrecked
and all but two were burned with their con-
tents. Two unknown men. who had en-
tered the ears at Baltimore FOR free
ride TO Wheeling, were roasted 10
death. The train was in charge OF
Conductor william Dean, and biz crew con-
sisted Of Domnick Kelly, engineer; John
ChaddOck, fireman. and "Bud" Ney, brake
man. As the engineer rounded a sharp
curve Just east OF Harris creek and came in
sight OF the bridge, he saw The entire struc-
ture was ia a blaze. Realizing that his only
chance TO escape was quick dash over the
bridge, Kelly whstled an alarm and pulled
the throttle wide open. The conductor and
brakeman jumped as the train took the added
speed, Ney being badly wounded. The loco
motive dashed on and scrOss the bridge. rs
il reached the west end The structure fell,
and the long train plunged down into the
streams bed, with the blazing timbers
Fortunately, the coupling connecting the
engine with the tender broke, and The en-
CINE and the two men in the cab were saved.

cars one named Weir was able 10 get out,
but his companions, pinned down by the
broken cars, were burned 10 death, their
cries for help being heard long after the
train went down. The financial loss to the
company VIII be very large. All traffic to-
day had 10 90 around by way OF Pittsburgh.

A Storm-Centre.

II was pretty hard on MURAT HALsTEAD's
friends to see bin turned down by the Sem
ate; but they have the consolation OF know
lug that everything happens for the best,
and those Of them who are rank negrOphi-
lists have especial reason for taking an
optimistic view OF his rejection. HALsrEAD
could not we'll be spared from Ohio at this
junclure. lie Is needed 10 lead another great
crusade. The race conflict IN Ohio, growing
out OF the public-schoOl question, has
broken out airesh and the Ohio law which
abolished separate schools for negro chill
dren Is being openly defied. At Felicity,
which hiss long been the st0rm-centre OF
race prejudice In the Buckeye State, man
has been shot, several others have been
otherwise injured. and schoOl.hOuse has
been wrecked-all on account OF negroes at
tempting TO force their children luto the
white schools At New Richmond also q
great state Of excitement and turmoil exists
Last Thursday the Circuit Court gave only
one cent dam ages to negro man who had sued
the school officials for excluding his son, and
as a consequence the negroes made an attack
on the schooi-houses, general melee ensued,
and the School Board determined 10 close the
schools until September. And all this in
Iaw-ablding, negro-loving Ohio. Is 1t not a
piece OF special good fortune that HLsTEAD
is not to leave the country, but is foreman to
regulate the Ohio courts and school boards
Have not the friends OF the poor "dOwn-
trodden man and brother" reason to thank
rather than to condemn the senator's who
voted against the Field MarslaPs cqndrma-
tion? Had his nomination been confirmed
he would have missed the opportunity OF his
life. Abolishing the Senate Is nothing to
the work now before him. We shall watch
with interest for IIALsTEAD's onset upon the
Ohio judges and school officials. Long
practice In trying to put down imaginary
southern riots and his facility for growing
.'hot In the collar" over alleged violations
OF the negroes rights under the law afford
promise that be will rOut the whole judicial
and educational machinery OF Buckeyedom.

Neadad Postal Reforms.
The Providence journal, which is rarely
wrong, SAYS:

The Providence journal, which is rarely
wrong, says:
1.-THE first need OF the country, and cyl
IDENTITY ITS desire, is not that letters may be
sent for less money, but for such an increase
OF efficiency aud facilities as shall insure
promp, transmission and a more general de-
livery"
Yes; letters ought to be delivered free In
every town in which it would require the
time OF even one man TO do the work. To
make every man 20 to the post-0llice to gel
his mail is OF piece with the old postal law
which required every man TO pay the postage
on his papers. Now, the editor pays for a
thousand or ten thousand or fifty thousand
subscribers and thus saves much money II
the Government and much time to the in
dustrious. So it ought 10 be as to deliver
ing letters. One man can deliver all the let
tcrs and papers sent 10 q small town.
Another reform needed is in the abolition
OF the absurd rule that iOrbids the FASTING OF
anything upon the back Of a posta-card
"Twin relics Of baibarism" are these two
obsolete rules or customs.
Persons ought also to be allowed, upon
paying three cents postage upon the paper,
to write whatever they might choose to write
on the margin OF r newspaper-of course
we mean things proper TO be written.
