 Mrs Josiah Hawkins has been i'll for several weeks and has not been at church for three or four Sundays. Last Sunday, she came, but coughed so con- stantly that she felt compelled to leave before the services were completed. We sincerely trust that she did not leave for fear of annoying the minister or hearers, for her presence would more then com pensate. We sincerely trust she will not become disheartened, but try again. All our people are inexpressibly thank full for the rain of Saturday and Sunday and many showed their gratitude by con- ing to the house of God and giving the pastor the good cheer of fair audience and the Sunday school good attend anee.

 Mrs Charles A. Meeker is very happi- ly situated in her new home and can en- joy the privilege of church going. Her husband is here as often as his farm duties will allow. He employs a man on the farm and his wife to keep house and thus the farm business thrives.
 Mrs Emma Cole has entertained her sister-in-law, Miss Fannie Cole from the city, for over a week. Mrs W. c. Jen- nings has enjoyed the pleasure of visit from her friend and relative, Miss Grace Boughton of Brooklyn.

Kind Hearts.

Even the toughest New York street gamin has tender spot, if circumstances shape themselves in such manner as to appeal to his better nature. The boys of the street have their own battles to fight and are quick to sympathize with help less creature who is really in hard luck. This was illustrated when an Italian ped- dler, pushing his hand cart across Print ing House Square, struck a stone and up- set his vehicle, which was piled high with apples and pears. In twinkling, the golden spheres were rolling in all direct ions and score of newsboys were after them. The Italian stood in hopeless des- pair, wrung his hands and burst into tears. The astonished newsboys at first laughed and then, overcome by the poor fellows grief, drew near cautiously and emptied their well filled pockets into the cart. Then they pitched in vigorously and helped the now encouraged Italian to gather up the fallen fruit. The ap- pies and pears were soon back in the cart, with not one missing and the Itali- an felt so thankful to the gamins that he immediately presented each one of them with large apple. The boys laughed merrily this time and soon dispersed in the crowd. The Italian continued his journey with beaming face and much better opinion of New York newsboys than he..had ever had before.

A Word About Words.

An me! these terrible tongues of ours, Are we half aware of their mighty powers? Do we ever trouble our heads al all Where the jest may strike, or the hint may
 fall? The latest chirp of that "little bird,'' The spicy story "you must have heard" We jerk them away in our gossip rash, And sombody's glass, of course, goes smashl What flames have been blasted and broken,
 What pestilent sinks been stirred, By a word in Hghtness spoken,
 By only an idle word? A kindly word and 8 tender tone--- To only God is their virtue known! They can lift from the dust the abject head, They can turn a foe to a friend instead; The heart close barred with passion and pride Will fling at their knock its portals wide, And the hate that blights and the scorn that
 sears Will melt in the fountain of childlikc tears. What ice bound griets have been broken,
 What rivers of love been stirred, By word in kindness spoken,
 By only gentle word.

Let us not weep, then, though we lose the light
 That made this earth so bright Though all the single sunbeams, one by one, Be gathered to the sun; Assured that there, in fulness rich and free, They will restored be, And Home, the dearest name that we can know
 On weary earth below, Shall be a mother wholly reconciled To each desponding child.

General Fields, Third party noml-
nee for Vice President, made a
speech at Miaden La, last Saturday
morning. Webster parish has the
credit of having more Third party
men in it thar. any other Two or
three parishes in the State com binel.H
Among many other startling things.
Mr.. Fields said -
AS for the negro he would con
cede to him all rights and privileges
that he, as a white man, demanded.
That he was raised up with negro
that be trusted as implicitly as he
did his mother. He was willing to
trust the negro anywhere.
This was going little too far
even for the Webster Third party
people, and itthrew wet blanket,
a very wet blanket, on the further
proceedings of the meeting !; indeed
the whole thing collapsed from that
moment. Candidate Guice in a
brief speech endeavored to the very
utmost to arouse a little enthusiasm,
but all his efforts were in vain, and
his attempt to sell political hand
books to defray expenses was equal
ly VAN. Fields hypocritical at
tempt to coneiliate the colored peo-
Pile was too, too much.

Gov. Flower of New York, has
bought Fire Island for camping
ground for the emigrants and pas
sengers on the plague ships. Tents
and everything necessary will be for
warded there for the Immediate con-

The Governor bought the island on
his own responsibility, paying 500, 900
cash and securing 100000 in six
months. A truly noble and heroic
act under the terrible circumstances.

Among the recent school board
appointments made by Gov. Foster,
we are pleased to note the names OF
several prominent Republicans, resi-
dents of Southwestern Louisiana.
BY such nonpartisan selections the
Governor shows a commendable dis
position to take the public schools
out of politics. 1t is worthy Of
comment. New Orleans Repabli-
can.
OF course, it's a truly Christian
spirit on the part of brother Foster,
and demonstrates the fact that
Mr.. Foster is not entirely callous.
He went back OH the farmers, but
he evidently means to keep the ar.
rangement made with the Republic
cans. We don't object to the ap-
pointnent of competent men to the
school board, whether Democrats OF
Republicans, but we opine that these
appointments We're made for. value
received in the late elertion. Dem
socratic Review.
1t is painfully unpleasant to see
such invidious motives attributed 10
the Governor of our State. Such
fiings are in bad taste, uncalled fol
and productive of more harm than
good, and while we are no chapion
OF Governor Foster, we cannot but
express cur disapproyal Of the fore
going comment, for as far as the
school board appointments made fol
East Carroll are concerned, they
are quite satisfactory and first class
in every, particular.

Hon. John j. Ingalls,, the Exam

after the following fasIison. a
radical change must have come over
the spirit Of his dream:
I'VE cannot disguise The truth
that we are on the verge Of an inn
pending revolution. The old issues
are dead. The people are arraying
themselves upon one side or the
other OF a portentous contest. On
one side is capital, fornidabiy ems
'trenched in privilege arrogant for
continual triumph, CONSERVATIVE,
tenacious of old theories demanding
new concessions, enriched BY domes-
tic levy and foreign commerce, and
struggling to adjust all values to its
own standard On the other side is
labor, asking for employment, striv-
ing to develop domestic industries,
battling with the forces of nature
and subduing wilderness; labor
starving and suIlen in the city; reso-
luteiy determined to overthrow a
system under which the rich are
growing richer the poor are grow
ing poorer, a system which gives to
Vanderbilt the possession of
wealth beyond the dreams of avarice
and condemns the poor to a poverty
which has no refuge from starvation
except the prison or the grave"
