So very seldom tits conferred.
And yet. that you may have o hint
Til say that 1t appears in print
In David's sacred Psalms. where It
becomes part OF Holy Writ.
When Israel sang their songs OF praise,
A higher note of 10y they'd raise;
And this ono word Of praise and prayer
Was loudly echoed then and thero.

And yet twas very sweet to hear,
And soft and pleasant to the ear.

DEAT8 OF GENERAL SHERMAN.

DEATH of GENERAL SHERMAN.
General Sherman was probably more
and better loved than any other Ameri-
can citizen. Certainly he was more en-
deared to the masses than any other
great military figure. Grant covered
warm heart under a cold and taciturn
exterior; Sheridan was generous, quick,
impulsive, but sometimes thoughtless;
Sherman was ever the genial, warm
hearted, courteous comrade. He was
the ideal soldier. Without fear, the
soul of honor, passionately loving the
flag of his country, he needed but op-
portunity to carve out great career.
He would have been distinguished any
where, but it required the war of the
rebellion to make him immortal
Twenty-six years have passed since his
services ended, and those years have
been to him a continuous ovation
Whether his military genius was of a
higher order than that of Grant will
always be an open question. His success
ses, while not as far-reaching in import
ance as Grants, were more striking and
dramatic. His impatient declaration in
the first year of war that 100000 men
were needed in the department of Ken
lucky and Tennessee was startlingly
verified. He captured more important
cities and strategic points of the con-
federacy than any other General of the
Union army. He fought his way step by
step from Chattanooga to Atlanta, then,
leaving the prey he had been pursuing,
he struck out boldly to bisect the con-
federacy There is no more picturesque
achievement in the history of war than
this march. As long as one of those
$4,000 men who followed Sherman from
Atlanta to Bentonville survives, he will
be regarded by those who surround him
with curiosity and veneration. 1t was
not only bold movement, but it was a
most important factor in the defeat of
the South, and it placed Sherman on a
pedestal that will be viewed by all
posterity. 1t is a glorious feature of our
form of government that not one of our
great Generals has used his popularity
for selfish ends-W Washington, Grant,
Sheridan, Hancock, Thomas, Meade
and Sherman least of all.

DISORDERS WHICH EFFECT

The kidneys are among the most formid-
able known; diabetes, Bright's disease,
gravel and other complaints of the urin-
ary organs are not ordinarily cured in
severe cases, but they may be averted by
timely medication; a useful stimulant of
the urinary glands has ever been found
in HOstetter's Stomach Bitters, a medi-
cine which not only affords the requisite
stimulus when they become inactive, but
increases their vigor and secretive power;
by increasing the activity of the kidneys
and bladder, this medicine has the addi-
tlonal effect of expelling from the blood
impurities which it is the peculiar office
of those organs to eliminate and pass off: !:
the Bitters is also purifier and strength
ener of the bowels, an invigorant of the
stomach, and a matchless remedy for bill
and fever and ague; it counter
acts a tendency to premature decay, and
snstains and comforts the aged and in

expense was spared, and kind wOmanly
hands had made beautiful the form
which was soon to start on the beginning
of its pilgrimage to the Celestial City
The robe was of pure white, and of rich
material and she seemed only to be
sleeping, so calm and peaceful were
her features. A vast cOncourse OF
friends and neighbors were present to
express their sympathy and respect fol
the dead, and their grief was earnest
and sincere. Mrs. Moore was one OF
those kind, lovable, unselfish women of
the old type, which is passing away. For
almost SO years she had made pilgrim
age through the world, speaking kind
words and doing deeds of kindness. Her
children "rise up and call her blessed,
and her last days were peace and content
ment. In home where every wish was
anticipated, and the fullest measure of
kindness and attention manifested, there
was nothing for her to be desired but
the Heavenly home, where there is
rest and peace forevermore. Reys.
