ship when he came to name-tne
name of a. lady-he did not recognize
He asked some one to tell him who she
was and where she lived. There were
members present with gray hairs and
tottering frames, but none of them had
ever heard that name before. de APP
pointed every person present as com
Inittee to find out something about the
| lost member, but months went Dy ana
no one was found who ever heard OF
her. During the close ofthe year, while
he was travelling by-way path about
six miles from the church, he saw 9
smoke among the hills and forests, and
going to the miserable hut, he found
his lost member. Isolated from society
by poverty and q drunken husband,
her name had become a blank to the
members OF her church, and they de-
clared she had never existed. She was
still leading Christian life.

THE American continues it war
fare upon Mr.. Speaker Crisp, and has
a great many nice things to say about
Mr.. Mills, aud his brilliant, brave
and faultless fight for tariff reform"
If the American, instead of being led
astray by state sentiment ia favor OF
McMillin, had given support to
Mills, the resalt might have been diff
ferent. McMillin never had the
ghost of q chance to elect himself, but
he could have elected Mills. Why
did he not do it? There is no use in
upbrsiding Crisp or Springer. If
McMilIin had been less vain, and
able to see that he was not even q
possibility, he could have done for
Mills what Springer did for Crisp.
Mr.. Crisp owes his eleStiOn-in part
at least-to the stubbOrnness and
stupidity of McMillin and his sup
porters.

Contentnlent.

If you do not possess all the things
you would like to have, it is very poor
policy to idly wish for them. A woman
is happy just in proportion as she is
content. The sun has n way of chang
ing the spots upon which it shines.
Especially is this true of our land,
where one is up to-day and down to-
morrow, and vice versa The wisest
woman is she who trusts in to-mor-
row, but never looks for it To sit
down and wish that this might be, that
that would be different, does a woman
no good. 1t does her harm in that II
makes her dissatisfied with herself, I'M
pleasant to her friends, and makes her
old before her time. Happiness is not
always increased in proportion to en-
larged success This may sound like
an oil saw, and / think it is, Lut there
is a world of wisdom in many an old
proverb just the samo. COntentment is
a wonderful thing to cultivate. There
would be fewer premature-old women
in the world if it was given more of a
trial and IT became a more universal
quality in womanhood.- Home

Mai. James It. Moore, who an
nounced himself as candidate for
Sheriff, several months ago, requests
us to now announce that he has de-
cided to withdraw from the canvass.
From the canvass he has made he
feels confident he could beat the field,
but on account of his age he doubts
il he could properly attend to the
duties of the office. He is strongly
opposed to the primary election sys
tenn, and thinks it the work of the
enemy to disrupt the Democratic
organization. The Maj. also wishes
to be put on record as endorsing the
HERALD from ieend to eend." He
says that Duck River may turn its
course upward that the moon may
turn to green cheese and that John
Mcdowell nightly mistake-tell
the truth, but that so long as time
lasts and he keeps his head above the
sod, he is the friend and champion of
the HERALD.

nomination. Tammany is doing its
might. Nobody, apparently, is work.
ing for Cleveland. But his nOmina-
ton is as certain as the time rolls
around. The more Tammany fights
Cleveland, the more the people are
for him. The more Hill and his
henchmen scheme, the more deter
mined the masses are to defeat their
Vaccinations. Mr.. Cleveland is a
statesman, not politician; he is a
Democrat, but not q partisan. He
has never been popular with the
leaders of his party, because he would
not become partisan. But this OBJ
lection upon their part, is what has
given him his strength with the peO-
pie. Our own "SeniOr Senator, "
along with nearly all the "SeniOr
Senators, Regarded him as an impOssi-
bility several months ago; according
to the opinions of these honorable
gentlemen, Grover was not in it at
all. But the people just continued to
be for your Uncle Grover, and to get
ready to instruct their delegates for
him, until now some of these self
same leaders are beginning to see q
cloud, like unto a mans hand" in
the distance, and those of the for
sighted family are preparing to get
from under before the clouds burst.
Covertly, secretly, slyly, the leaders
or at least those of them who wish
to control the President for partisan
purposes-will fight Cleveland; but
Mr.. Cleveland will be renOminated
just the same, and will be the next
President of these United States.
Mr.. Speaker Crisp may embarrass his
party and kill himself, but he cannot
turn the tide from Cleveland.

THE GENUINE HOME.

The keeping of a house in such
manner as to result in genuine home
is largely in considering housekeeping
in its true relation as su Dservient to the
household life. To consider that the
household is made for the family and
not the family for the household.
The housekeeping that is so
immaculate that comfort is sacrificed
to order, that convenience is sacrificed
to appearance, is by no means ideal,
however fair may be its outward as
pect. Order, punctuality, cleanliness,
economy are virtues in the relative
sense, and only as they are held adjust
able are they strictly virtuous The
life is more than meat, and there may
be considerations of enjoyment or OF
social duties that quite supercede reg
ulation that rivals that of the Modes
and Persians in its unvarying
character. In many households the
family life would gain largely
by considering breakfast as a NOV
able feast, to be partaken of at the in
dividual convenience of each member
of the family, rather than to be ap-

served in ones room often enable one
to write letters, or perform some need

fast hour down stairs must be observed
The French custom is gaining more and
more in American households, and it is
one to be welcomed. Adaptability and
adjustability are the most desirable
factors in housekeeping economy. The
morning is usually the best time for
any individual work. Then the hours
are, as rule, free from social demands,
and the individual is in his best condi-
ton for writing. or for whatever en-
