II is enough to say that in Florida
there is room and tho right place for
you, whoever you are. sohen you ind
u. The thing is to find il. And here
the only word have TO say is, Find n
yourself Do not ask any one the
way. Do not go anywhere irrevocably
on the recommendation or experience of
any one else. Do not jump at the Of
fer of land from some amiable land
agent, to build house or plant an
orange-grove on. Go, and continue to
go, until you find the place that suits
you. That place exists, and you will
know it when you reach 1t; nor will the
reports of any spies of Ascalon disturb
your peace or unsettle your preference.
1t is all matter of experiment. The
only word | am willing TO say ON
this subject is, Come and seey
As to the date of coming, and the
date of leaving | think the student of
Florida has much to learn, if he be in
search of health. The tourist, az such
has, like Death in the poem, all seasons
for his own. He can take his trip Of
two weeks or two months any time be-
tween October and May and not miss
much, whichever date he selects. In
his case it does not matter, as nothing
is at stake But to the person who
visits Florida with the purpose of find
ing out just what and all Florida can
do for him in health, date and duration
of time are matters of very great i'm
portance. On these points l can give
only a conviction founded upon my
own logic and observation, for | have
not made acquaintance with my Florida
as an inyalid.
If were an Invalid and wished to
test the whole valve of the climate of
Florida myself, ! would go in October
and stay unuil September. l would
spend September on the water, and go
back in October; and thus would live
for three years. If l could not do this,
l would go in October and stay until
June. One should have the benefit of
the growing time, and the time of ma
turity, in the midst of this bountiful
Nature. All, and more, that the
spring and summer do for us at the
North, they do for one here. We re-
yive when nature reviyes; we awake
and become fresh in her awakening;
and nowhere does she awake as she
does here. AL her oordials are in the
air for US to drink and assimilate. Her
sap and our blood run together. So it
is everywhere, and so it is in Florida.

HE SAW ONLY MOTHER"
DYING, HE WENT BACK TO HER WHOSE
TENDERNESS HAD NEVER FAILED.

The doctor said it was no unusual
thing in delerium, but it seemed
strange and pathetic to the loving
watchers that the middle-aged, care
worn man, tossing YEARLY on a sick
bed, should fancy himself again
child at his mothers knee. The green
grave far away in country village
where she slept had no existence SO far
as he was concerned. She had never
died, but was with her boy again. The
many trials of life had passed from
his memory now. and boyish woes and
condolences alone were on his lips.
When his weeping wife laid her
hand on his fevered brow he looked up
and smiled and called her mother
The hand that held the medicine to
his lips, that smoothed the pillow, was
mother and in all the faces that
came and went about his bed he saw
but hers, the first his bnby eyes had
| known.
He had forgotten her so many years.
He had been busy all these years, and
thousand worldly things had clouded
the image of that kind old mother, but
as deaths mighty hand had set aside
| perplexing, fretting distractions, all so
little now, clear and sweet to his
parched soul came the memory of an
innocent childhood and a mothers
love. All at once he knew himself,
weary, troubled creature, sick and
faint over earth's fevered draught, and
he went back like a child, to her
whose tenderness had never failed him.
"Your little boy is tired, mother.
The sun is hot
His children broke into sobs as he
spoke, but his fatherhood was a thing
unknown to him now.
''pm sleepy and l want to go to bed.
I've been bad boy some to- day, amt
II? But I'll ask God to forgive me,
and if you do, l guess he will, too.
Hear my prayers, mother, I've learned
them by heart now"
They saw that the end was close at
hand then, and his wife made fran
tic appeal to him to recognize her, but
his ears were fast dulling to all earth
| ly sounds, and he only struggled to
raise himself to his knees. They
could have restrained him, but he
said:-
why, can't go to sleep without
saying my prayers. I've been bad
boy TO day, and God would be angry,
mother
Then they helped him up, and with
tender arms supported the weakened
form Whila he knalt with upturpp1
eyes fast dimming with deaths film,
and clasping his hands as little child
does by its crib side, prayed the sweet
, old petition of
Now lay me down to sleep,

HOW TOLIVE IN FLORIDA.

OF course one must learn how TO
live in Florida; that means what TO eat
when to exercise, when to rest and,
above all, he must have caution until
he knows how to use preoaution and
this not because there is more danger
there than elsewhere, but precisely be.
cause there is less danger there than
elsewhere. 1t is here, of all places,
that Nature gives her maximum of Sc
curity, her minimum of risk to her
worthy lovers, and in this sense of
safety with her at all hours lies the
whole truth about the danger. One
forgets that danger can exist, and, so
persuaded, goes too far and too fast in
presumption on her favor. This too
easy familiarity she can, and she may,
punish. 1t is best to make haste slow
ly in gaining her complete devotion.
Do not, at first, give yourself too
much to the unsheltered air of night
Have a wrap always at hand, for the
first hint of chill. In short, be half as
prudent as you are anywhere else, and
you will gain whole world OF new
liberty, and have nothing to lose in ex.
change. l haye spent days and nights
on all waters in Florida, the Wekiva,
the st. John, the Indian River, on the
Gulf of Mexico, in the hsrbors of Key

waters which float upon their surface

Thousand Islsnds,-under the sun by
day and the moon and stars by night,
and have come out of it with brown
face, clear eye, no extra flesh, con-
siderable extra spirit, with 'an appetite

Don't Care to Eat"

1t is with the greatest confidence
that Hoods Sarsaparilla is recommended
for loss of appetite, indigestion, sick
headache, and similar troubles. This
medicine gently tones the stomach, as
sists digestion, and makes one "real
hungry" Persons in delicate health,
after taking Hoods Sarsaparilla few
days, find themselves longing for and
eating the plainest food with unex-
pected relish.

Pennsylvania, which would thus be
placed in the hands of Mr.. Quay. The
success of Mr., Quay in this contest
will constitute him the indorsed and

both in the State and nation, and if the
party must enter into the PRESIDE ltial
contest of 1892 handicapped by the
leadership the party would be hope
lessly defeated before the canvass be.
gan. To save the party from defeat
in that contest it is absolutely neces.
sary that he be dethroned now. 1t
is there fore the highest duty of Re-
publicans to their own party to refuse
to vote for and sustain his candidate
at this time.
To accomplish the end proposed all
earnest Republicans should at this fit.
ting time strike their most effective
blow by voting as Republicans for Ex-
Governor Robert Z Pattison. To stay
at home or cast bollot for a hopeless
third candidate would be an evasion of
duty and a waste of power.
Of Mr.. Pattison's fitness for the of.
fee we leave Republicans alone to
speak.
On his retirement from office in
1887 the most partisan Republican
newspapers which are now opposing
him were unanimous in their indorse-
ments of his administration.
We quote from the Philadelphia
Press of January II, 1887:
at has been, all in all, an administra
tion against which nothing can be said
The integrity of Governo, Pattison's
purpose and the excellence of his in.
tentlons will not be questioned

graph of January l8, 1887, called his
administration zone of the most nota
bly, honorable and useful administra.
tions that this State ever enjoyed"
The North american said: "If his
administration has not been brilliant ii
has been better-it has been safe"
The Inquirer of the same date said
"The retiring administration retires
with most admirable record. 1t goes
out with clean hands, with good fame
ane common respect, aud nothing but
the narrowest partisan prejudice and
bigotry would deny it the credit of its
integrity and usefulness"
To these Republican testimonials OF
his fitness for the office we add nothing
for nothing is required.
There is but one issue in this cam
paign, Purity of the ballot, fair cleo
tions, honest and courageous mer
in Office, clean administration of public
affairs are and always will be supreme
questions in a republic. If the Repub
licans of Pennsylvania have reached
that degree of subserviency that they
will solemnly cast the vote of approva
of leader whose hands are stained
with corruption, then the days of tn,
Republican party are numbered.
The election of Robert 4. Pattisoi
cannot be construed as a partisan
victory. His election in 1882 by ;
plurality of 10000 was followed, il
1884, by Republican mojority of 80,
900 for James G. Blaine. The main
tenance of the system of protection
cannot honestly be brought into thi
contest. No true friend of protection
will desire to attach it to the fortune
of Mr.. Quay. The defeat of Matthew
S. Quay and his candidate will depend
upon intelligent Republicans. 1t vii
rid the Republican party of its mos
selfish and corrupt leadership, restor
you your citizenship and vindicat
your Common wealth.

Mr., Quay, who already dispenses
the Federal patronage of the State,
purposes to control, as well, the exc
cutive and Legislative branches of the
government of the Commonwealth.
To secure this end he had forced the
nomination of Mr.. Delamater for the
high Office of Governor of Pennsylva-
MIA, in the face of the indignant pro-
tests of thousands of the best Repub-
licans of the State, and now asks the
party to ratitiy his choice. He also
proposes the election, as the leader of
the State Senate, of Chairman w. III.
Andrews, who used without scruple
the machinery of the Republican State
committee to force the nomination OF
Mr.. Delamater. He is likewise en-
deavoring to secure the election of his
son as his representative in the Assem-.
bly,, and, if successful, will hold within
his grasp both the executive and legis-
lative powers of the State. In add.
tion, he will strive to control and dom
mate the Pardon Board and thus
have it In his power to thwart and
nullify the very processes of justice, a
dangerous power which he has already
shown himself only too willing to ex
ercise.
But the consequences of the election
OF Mr.. Delamater are not bounded by
the absolute control of all the branches
of the government of the State ot
