II. L. G. FRIENDS will little Texas

have been a member OF the club and
subscriber to THE SENTINEL for several
months and have enjoyed reading the in
teresting letters of the II. L. c. page very
much. / see that in last weeks issue
the advertise ment has disappeared. but
there was still little space, so perhaps l
canjoin you this week.
1t is certainly a great pleasure after
ones mind has been engaged in such du-
ties as teaching to forget each days work
and join a happy band of friends like
yours. A great deal has been said about
what will make a happy marriage. I
think that love and Christianity are
the first requisites. A great many
of the unhappy marriages are the result
OF the union of persons wholly unsuited 10
each other. So many meet, "fall in love"
and within few months have set sail on
life's ocean. They know comparatively
nothing OF each others nature. Blinded
by this passing fancy, thew expect too
much, and are, OF course, disappointed.
Then comes the trouble.
Young people should be fully acquainted
with each others nature, know their
faults and merits before marriage.
Mothers should train their daughters to
this point. And here is a word of far
more importance 10 her than voting and
law making. A much greater good will be
done at home than at the poles. think,
like "Wilmina," few ladies would care
to enjoy that privilege. They have a
higher. nobler and more honorable work
to perform, and that is in making their
homes attractive and happy.
The character is formed in early life and
If properly developed there will be less
need of so many different modes of pun
ishment. Alter criminal has been SEN
fenced to the gallows or death by some
means, his parents and friends are very
much interested in his reform. How
much more good those prayers and tears
would have done in his boyhood.

The Bankrupt Treasury.
rpbiladalrbs, Pocord

The government is going backward.
Republican extravaganza has destroyed
the surplus. The treasury is slipping back
into debt. We are no longer meeting our
obligations. The billion-dollar congress
has made ducks and brakes of the public
money, and although we are not at war
nor seriously menaced, and although our
income is abundant, we are forced to face
the necessity OF increasing our debt in
order to bestow largesse upon the favor
ties OF the republican party, pension
agents and other enemies of honest sol
diers, politicians who seek votes with pub
lie buildings and river and harbor i'm
provements, subsidy-hunters and a swarm
of henchmen for whom new offices have
been created. The country has been
robbed BY Mr.. Reeds truly business con-
gress of al that il has, and of more.
The wipjng out of the debt has been
stopped for a time, and it becomes the
duty OF the new democratic house to face
the situation without hnching. Econo-
mics must be inaugurated, no mat
ter who may be hurt The government
must be brought back to the honest paths
of thrift and prudence. Tariff taxation
must be reduced that revenues may be in
creased. Mr.. Harrison and his senate
may do as they will. but the democratic
party must exert all its power to the heal
ing OF the financial ills with which the
country has been afflicted through the
brief ascendency of the party of monopo-
lies and trusts

A Memory.


Amid New England's clustering hills
It's ri ping brooks, its birds aud flowers,
In homestead old aud near mill
passed my happy childhood hours.
Up in the morning, roaming at will
Through groves where nestle the violets sweet.
Stopping, aprons with apples to fill,
Or under the hay stacks to play hide aud seek.
But what gave most pleasure 10 sister and 7,
Being children of course twas n simple thing,
From the bough of apple tree quite close by
Was suspended an old-iashioned swing.
When Old SOILS golden chariot rolled high in the sky
The wde-spreading branches afforded us shade;
And hour after hour unheeded sped BY.
While with swing, dolls and toys contentedly
played.
But fate was unkind in our childhood as now
And removed from reach what to most
DEAR
Yet. perhaps II we're better, for otherwise how
Could we hope to ind heaven any happier than
here?
One morning the sky was most beautifully blue,f
And sweet the air with the odorous pine,
While far in the distance, where rested the view,
The mountains upreared in irregular line.
But soon, without warning dark clouds chased the
light
The forked lightnings flashed and the loud thun-
der roared;
All nature was shrouded In darkness and night
And the rain, like fierce mountain torrent, down.
poured.
Side by side at the window stood sister and ].
Gazing al the lightning, fash after lash,
In rapid succession dazzled the eye,
The thunder succeeding with deafenng crash.
Not word did we speak, though trembling with
fear,
As the wind in its fury the house seemed TO rock
And the eehOing voice of the thunder so near
Seemed at each repetition to double the shock.
Sad havoc the storm king with trees had played
But little cared we had all Of them persisted,
Could only the fate Of tree been delayed,
BY our childish hearts twas so fondly cherished.
Flash! Crashil Tho blinking Of chains told too
we'll
That our swing branch and all was across the drive
lying.
While far in the distance. Ger grove, hill and dell,
Therumblng echoes we're breaking and dying.
Four fearful ey es watched the clouds drift apart
And wept while the the dripping leaves
shone;
But through grieFs dark shadows which shrouded
the heart
Broke no CLEAN of sunshine till the long day was
DONE
And though swift revolving great changes have
wrought,
And the storms of misfortune have forced US to
roam,
No grief more poignant has II ever brought
Than did that summer shower to our dear old
home
And now. dear friends and members who have read
this simple rhyme,
pray you do not cTiticise and harshly judge the
same;

So perhaps twill please you best to have me sign

Mcdonald for Governor.
lWashinUton DEMOCRAT. |

Nd5hAhhtoh
Uncle Joe Mcdonald, cold Saddlebags,"
is seventy-two years OF age. but he still
possesses great mental and physical
vitality. When he made a speech here
last fall he announced that he never again
would be candidate for office. However,
il the democrats succeed in convincing
him that il would be for the good of the
party that he should make the race for
governor, the old veteran may reconsider
his determination to withdraw from pub
lie life. Should he do so he would I'M
doubtedly be nominated for governor in
in 1892 and elected.
We understand he is making S25, 700 @
year now practicing law at his home office
at Indianapolis aud at Washington City.
That is great deal more money than he
would make as governor OF Indiana, and
if he wants to make money it would no
doubt be better for him to keep out of
politics In the event that he should, for
personal reasons. peremptorily decline to
make the race for governor, there is no
lack Of good and true men to choose from.
