THE OCEAN.

The oceans waves, in steadfast restlessness,
Seek still the unvanquished,u d,unretreating shore
Nor know where they shall falt-nor hear the
roar
OF their own music But with sweep and
stress
Beat on the sands which fell not their impress
And break in bafled sprays for eyermore
On rocks which heed no hap--no dole deplore:
They are insepsate, dumb, and passionesS.
ncessant--ininite--w without intent
Thus ebbs the ocean--thus the ocean flows;
A frenzied striving for unknown repOse,
Unending toll with no accomplishment.
The waves are souls; s;-the tide is destiny;
The ocean, life ;-the shore, eternity,
Robert Burns Wilson, in October Fetters

hees, was not present. And so the
old man who had "voted for Jackson"
was not glad.
.Tt's dull when Dan amt here; we
OK pected to hear some speakin'."
This is what the old patriarch who
had "voted for Jackson" said right in
tue presence of Governor Knott and
John p. Irish. They smiled pleasant
ly and soon faded away, leaving me
alone with the man who had "voted
for Jackson"
"You have been here some time," /
said.
Il voted for Jackson" and with this
he struck the heavy ferrule of his
hickory stick hard on the ground, as
if to say, 81 voted for Jackson right
here, sah," But he was too busy
chewing to talk much.
'Indians here when you came, sir r.
asked earnestly.
"Yes sab? Indians, and bar and
buffalo, and deer; mos in the river
round the island yander. Yes, sab ;
great place for deer; we used to kill
ten ofa night, sab; take canoes, a
dozen of us with hickory bark torches,
and go whirling around the island,
sab. Brightest light in the world,
sab, hickory bark torches; deer can't
see you hickory bark torches makes
'em blind kill 'em with club. Why
that night after the day voted fur

Here some Democratic grangers
came up to be introduced to the man
who had "voted for JACKSON" and l
passed on, to mediate in the twilight
over the solution of the most splendid
and inspiring mystery of my child

Destruction of Forests in the
United States.

The United States sells its forest
lands at $3.50 an acre, lumber compa-
nies indirectly acquiring square mile
Of land for little over $1,000, while
the timber on it is often worth $4,000
The French government forests return
an average profit of $3.50 an acre an
nually from timber sales, or two and a
half per cent. interest on the value of
the land. The United States now owns
only enough forest land to provide a
continual timber-supply to its present
population, if forests are managed and
lumber used as in Germany. The Uni
ted States is exactly in the position of
a man making large drafts on and us
ing up an immense ideal capital, which
if properly invested, would return an
interest sufficient for his expenditures.
In 1880 the government of Bavaria
sent an expert forester to study the
timbers of the United States, who sta
ted: ''In fifteen years you will have to
IMPORT your timber, and as you will
probably have preference for Ameri-
can kinds, we shall begin to grow them
in order to be ready to send them to
you at the proper time."-Century.

Stub Ends of Thought

Trust is the strongest link in the
chain of association.
Not one time in a million are a
mans tears dishonest; what may be
said of woman's is different.
Everybody would be perfect if every
body else thought so.
Matrimony is loves eye-opener.
Gossip is the bullet in the gun OF
idle curiosity.
Honesty is not contagious.

A Universal Beautifier.

Harmless, effective, and agreeable
Ayers Hair Vigor has taken high rank
among toilet articles. This prepara-
ton causes thin, weak hair to become
abundant, strong, and healthy, and re-
stores gray hair to its original color.
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1893-10-03

In an age of fraud and adulteration,
it is certainly gratifying TO know that
such an extensively-used preparation
as Ayers Sarssparilla may be implicit
Iy relied upon. It never varies either
in quality, appearance, or effect, but is
always up to the standard.

OUIDA, the French novelist, has lately
under the title: "The Sins of Society"
AS these particular sins have been used
by this woman as material for n class
of lurid but widely read novels, it would
seem that criticism from her on the
things which she has made popular in
her books would be out of place. 1t is
doubtful now il her views on reform
would further the objects in view, and
it seems quite certain that her ideas on
some subjects are not altogether clear.
She says, for instance, "The attire of the
men is the most frlghtful, grotesque
and dlsgracetul costume which the
world has ever seen. When the
archaeologlsts OF the future dig up one
OF our bronze statues in trousers they
will have no need to go further for evil
dence of the inaptitude and idiocy of
the age. A man who cannot clothe his
own person reasonably is certainly a
man incapable of legislating for himself
and for his kind" Perhaps this oriti.
cism is deserved, but the men will give
1T very little attention until Ouida sug-
gests something to take the place OF
trousers. Would she have us robed in
Greek %tunics, in the simple but pictur,
esque blankets OF the Box Elder Cree
" the kilt and socks of the Highlander!
If Ouida intends to Danish the trousers
she should suggest something in place,
or abandon the reform.

THE legislative news in 80 many states
where senators will be elected will en-.
courage those people who believe that
United States senators should be elected
by the people. This may not come,
however, for many years as that change
would require an amendment to the
constitution. II is not certain that this
is in all respects desirable, but the plan
OF nominating senators in state conven-
tions would remove many obstacles un-
dor the present system, and ia rapidly
finding favor among politicians Of
both parties.

THE WEATHER..
DEMOCRATS. STAND TOGETHER.

Democrats Of the legislative assembly,
a critical situation confronts you. One
false step, n mistake, n absentee. a
failure t. act promptly and in concert,
will lose the party a United States SEN
ator and the control Of the United
States senate.
The republican leaders are playing for
high stakes and they realize that it is q
desperate game. They are united. One
man directs them-the fraud who 10Y
holds a stolen seat in the United States
senate. He is their leader, their caucus
nominee, the one man they all follow.
At his direction they have taken adj
vantage OF the absence OF q sick dem
ocrat, refused to him the courtesy Of a
para thing unheard Of in the annals
of civilized countrles-seated a republic
can representative whose fraudulent
majority wal obtained by proved
bribery, and it is the hope of this man
and his c~onfederates that they can now
secure his election through some happy
accident or the dissensions of a divided
democratic party. They see the demo-
cratic majority hanging on the slender
thread of a sick mans condition and
they believe the pickering OF factions
will dissipate it.
Democrats of the legislative assembly,
senatorial aspirants, dark horses,
friends Of candidates, democrats gener-
ally, you must get together and present
q united front to a united foe! It is no
time for cherishing secret hopes, or
other f%oolishness. Divided, the enemy
will whip you; united you can beat him.
And that is the only way it can be
done. It is time to lay individual am
billions and personal prejudices on the
altar of democracy. You cannot afford
to have the democracy OF the nation
pointing the finger of reproach at US
and saying, "These are the men who
prevented the supremacy of our party
in the country" We must not give
them a chance to say it.
We learn that at a late hour last
night a majority of democratic senators
and representatives had signed a
call for a democratic caucus to-
night. That is a wise and necessary
~precaution. We trust and believe every
member of the party will sign it and
abide by it. That way, and that way
only, lies safety. There must be union,
cohesion, discipline. Guerilla warfare
against an organized army will never
win.
Let there be q caucus and let us go
into the fight with a leader, whoever he
may be-so long as he is a democrat.
Get together and stand together.
