For Parents to Read.

Whatever you wish your child to be,
be il your self. II you wish it to be hap
py, sober, truthful, afIectionate, honest
and godly, be your self all of these"
Children are such initiative beings that
they often act unconsciously as mirrors
to us older beople. We see in them our
fault produced again and again, and we
lose heart, for we know what battle is to
be fought. We zee, too, in happier mo-
ments, our virtues and perhaps our gra-
ces reflected in our little ones and we
take courage But most OF us expect our
children TO be improved editions rather
than exact copies of our selves. We
want them TO be great deal more heal
thy and great deal more godly, happier,
handsome and even more afiectionate,
honest and truthful than their parents.
We have spent twenty-five or thirty
years in acquiring these virtues, and l
think the demands we make upon the
little men and women who have but
inst begnn the journey of life is some
times out OF all proportion to their ten
der years. Indeed have seen parents
exact an amount of self control and an
unfaltering obedience from their chill
dren which l think they. would find it
difficult TO practice themselves.
Virtue is not the growth Of day, but
the outcome of years of discipline and
experience. And to preach goodness is,
as ever body knows who has tried it, a
great deal easier, but not nearly as effect
ual az to practice it.
If we are selfish and grasping, we
have no right to expect our children to
be models Of generosity, and if we are
impatient and irritable, we ought not
to be surprised If their tempers are also
somewhat uncertain. To a mother be-
longs the double duty not only of train
ing her child in the way he should go,
but of training her self likewise, task
that requires quite as much patients and
wisdom.

A QUIET WEDDING.
Miss Blanche Frank and Mr.. Geo. B.
IShaw were Married on the 18th
instant.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Dec. 18th lS92.-On
this, the 18th day of December Miss
Blanche Frank, one of the best known
and most popular young ladies in this
part of the state, was very quietly mar
ried to Mr.. Geo. b. Shaw, mail agent on
the steamer, Ragon.
Miss Frank is the only daughter OF Mr..
Morton Frank, of Franks Landing. We
anticipate that this will be a surprise to
their many friends, as the above has
been kept profound secret from their
most intimate acquaintance.
Mr.. Shaw expects soon to resign his
present position and remove to Ann Ar
Dor, Mich, where he will begin the study
of law.
Let us hope that no cloud may arise to
darken their pathway, but that the
bright sunshine of truth and love may
gladden. all their lives, that prosperity
may follow the wake of their future and
that old age may find them living in all
the enjoyment that is due to fond love,
an earnest endeavor and worthy pur-
pose in life. Hoping and believing that
higher power will guide and direct
them ard wishing them long, happy
and contented life, also believing that
they are well calculated for each other.
We have only TO add SUM cujque.

Both Sureties Dead.
fIIawesyiIIe Plnlndealerl

The jury in the case of Geo. II. Moore
for killing negro, hung at seven for
acquittal and five for punishment. 1t
will be remembered that the late Geo.
Dunn and Waller Haynes were sureties
for Moore's appearance at this term Of
court. Mr.. Dunn sickened and died and
Moores train was here and he assisted
in bearing the corpse to the train, and
the remains of Mr.. Haynes was aboard
of the train Tuesday that brought Moore
to trial. The strange part of the story, is
that the two men died from the same
disease, appendicitis, the most uncom-
mon of all diseases. The negroes who
are full of superstition and want Moore
hanged are eagerly looking forward for
other signs in this case.

Give The Devil His Dues.

The Louisville Critic doesn't take any
stock in Gov. Browns dramatic efforts
against the G. o. &. S. w. consolidation
with the l.. &. ~, and sensibly says.
"The L. &. n. is not an oppressor. 1t is
a builder up. 1t is an encourager and
fosterer OF legitimate enterprises. 1t has
done more for Kentucky than all the
governors and legislators since the state
has been organized. This demagogic at
tempt to curtail its growth and useful
ness will fail. The G. o. &. S. W. will
be brought into first class condition by
the L. &. n. The section of the state
which il traverses will be benefited by a
better service. Without the l.. &. N.
Kentucky would be a bowling wilder
ness. Ithas brought her resources before
the world, opened her mines, linked her
fertile fields to the markets of the land,
and in countless ways helped and
strengthened her. If the demagognes
must have something to yelp about, let
them pick out some enterprise that is a
detrimen to the state"-Interior Journal.

500 Reward, 100.

The reader of this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being COnstitu-
tional disease, requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces OF the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith in
its curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testimon-
ials. Address, f. j. Cheney d Co,
