GRAINS OF GOLD.
Calamity is mans touchstope.

Calamity is mans touchstOpe.
Tolive is not to live for ones self alone.
Reform, like charity, must begin at
home.
Hypocrites do the Devils drudgery
in Christ'S livery.
The wisest fellows, we think, are those
who agree with us.
No man ever prayed heartily without
learning something.
1t is easier to polish the manners than
to reform the heart.
1t is wiser to prevent a quarrel than
to revenge it afterward.
To give much and expect little is one
secret of good fellowship.
He who waits to do a great deal at
once will never do anything.
Learning without thought is labor
lost thought without learning is perilOus.
Nurture your mind in great thoughts.
To believe in the heroic makes heroes.
If Satan ever laughs, it must be at
hypOcrites; they are the greatest dupes
he has.
The man of meditation is happy, not
for an hour or day, but quite round
the circle of his years.
Hope is like the sun, which, as we
journey toward it, casts the shadow of
our burden behind us.
A man must take the fat with the
lean-that's what he must make his
mind up to in this life.
1t is always safe to learn even from
our enemies s-seldom safe to venture to
instruct even our friends.
Persons and humors may be jumbled
and disguised; but nature, like quick
silver, will never be killed.
The difference between a wise man
and fool is that one knows how to
keep the foolishness in and the other
lets it out.

Protection, which. it was thought,
would only impede the progress of the

Their Suffering Terrible.

CUMBERLAND, ND, June 21.-An acci-
dent occurred ON the Huntingdon and
Broad Top division of the Pennsylvania
railroad yesterday morning, in which
two men were killed and a number of
others badly injured. The accident oc-
CURED about one mile south of Mann's
Choice. Two sections of freight train
were running close together. The first
section stopped to change engines just
at the top of heavy grade, and the
train started back down the grade. The
train dashed into the engine of the sec
ond section. The crash was terrific, the
engine was upset and the cars were
smashed into splinters. To add horror
to the situation the train caught fire and
the men imprisoned in the wreck could
be heard CRYING for help.

WILMINGTON, O., June 24.-Corwin
Mars, the young man who was shot
Sunday night, died yesterday morning.
Two bullets were found in the body, one
having pierced the lungs and liver.
Later developments show that the claim

murderer, will not be as easily established
as was at first supposed.

CONVICTION, KY, June ga special
election to choose a successor to fill John

was held Saturday in the Sixth Ken

the election of Worth Dickerson, the
Democratic nominee, by $500 majority
He has probably carried every county in
the district, although the voting every
where was the lightest ever known. In
some of the precincts the polls were not
even opened and in others the only bal

THIS FARMER NOT ROBBED.

American Economist.
At the Republican convention, held
in Mt. Sterling, ILL.,, the 31st ult., which
was composed principally of farmers, and
admitted by all as the largest body of
men ever assembled in convention in
Brown county, she following statement
was made by Mr.. T. J. Clark:
am farmer by profession; 1 belong
to that class of individuals whom our
Democratic friends claim are being
robbed by protection. Let us investigate
and see if there is any truth in their
statements, admitting the fact that there
is tariff to protect the manufacturer
and laboring men upon every article we
use in the house or on the farm. The
blankets under which l sleep that cost
me $12 per pair fifteen years ago, can be
bought to-day the same weight and kind
for So per pair. Cotton and dress goods
have decreased in price since 1860 in like
proportions. The ak use cost me 75c,
a better ak in every respect than the one
my father bought in "'57'' for 50 bill.
The wagon / use cost me $50, and a
better wagon than my father bought
during the good old Democratic free
trade days of 1856 to go for $40. In
fact, my friends, there is not an article
we use in the house or on the farm but
what can be bought from so to 800 per
cent cheaper than the same article could
have been bought for before there was
a protective duty placed upon those
articles.

The Tariff and the Banks.

Savings banks are organized for and
patronized by wage earners almost ex-
clusively. The following tables are a
conclusive answer to the sneer of the
Free-trader that under Protection the en-
ployers are growing richer while wage
earners are growing poorer.
In New York and Kings counties the
deposits in 1860 were $49. 100 900, and the
number of depositors was 227 900; an
average of $216 to each depositor. In
1888, the deposits amounted to S294, ,000,-
900, and the number of depositors was
166, 200; an average of 1884 to each de-
positor, and total gain to depositors
from 1860 to 1888 of $245, 900, 900.
InNew York state, in 1860, the deposits
were $5s, IT'S, 900 and in 1886 they had in
creased to S469, ,662, 900 or a total gain to
depositors from 1860 to 1886 of $411 800, :
900.
Have the wage earners of New York
and Kings counties or the state of New
York been growing poorer under Protec-
ton?

seeing that collision was inevitable re-
versed his engine and shut off steam
He then jumped from his engine closely
followed by his fireman. The freight

which, without any occupant. started
back toward the train. 1t was going
forty miles an hour when it struck the

wrecked. A negro nurse employed by

MANS love is but one of his many
feelings. In the scholar it is subservi-
ent to his thirst for knowledge; in the
patriot, it yields to the worship of the
country; glory halos the heart of the SOL
dier; but with woman the affections
are omnipotent; they absorb all other
thoughts, and make all other passions
their slaves.
