has expelled a printer from his church
for being a union man, declares the
New York Press. He says unionism
is against the commandments of God.

God will not let Christian starve.
Those people who are suffering in the

should take what they are offered by
the capitalists and thank God if they
can get anything at all. If they can't
get work it is Gods will.

Harold Frederic, who is a close OBJ
server in English politics, is of opin-
ion that the resignation of Mr.. Glad
stone is due not to the fact that his
eyesight is failing or to the fast that
he is growing feeble, but TO the fact
that he has been losing influence with
his own administration. The theory
is that his cabinet was out of sympathy
with him in many things and went its
own way regardless of his wishes.
Rosebery was becoming more of a
power than the Grand Old man, and
so the latter dropped n hint of retire
ment after the manner of Bismarck,
and, like Bismarck, was surprised to
find that there was no clamor against
his going. In other words, Gladstone
is represented as being edged off the
stage by his young men. The danger
in his retirement does not lie so much
in the loss of his personality, powerful
as that is, as in the loss of that pecu-
liar thing called leadership. Rosebery
or any one else can be made the official
head of the ministry and the leader of
the liberal party; but no one can in
herit the general confidence of tho
party and its sympathizers throughout
the world in Gladstone. This is a
great source of power which he cannot
transmit. The new leader will have
party discipline to support him, but
he will have to create party sentiment
and popular sentiment

There is no such a thing as ''next
Senate, " and so long as the Constitu.
tion lasts there never will be. The
Senate of the United States is an
eternal body. 1t never dies. 1t is to-
day exactly the same assembly which
met for the first time in 1889. Every
second year it undergoes a change of
membership, the terms of one class of
members expiring. But that change
neither ends the old body nor makes a
new one.

w. B. Muller, of Omab says the
eight hour day "would bri about in
creased consumption, a VI display
of productive activity, a .e-vr intel
lectual and moral development of the
toiler and wider demand for the
more artistic products of our factories
and workshops 1t would stimulate
inventive genus, develop better and
grander civilization and bring about
an almost fabulous increase of national
property and wealth. The general
struggle for reduction of the hours
of labor is a struggle for better
civilization, struggle for work for
willing hands who should be EN-
ployed.

Ehingham B. Wilson, of Brooklyn,
has discovered somewhere on Long
Island a perfect mine of Indian arrow
heads. He keeps the secret of the To-
cation to himself, and, according to
the New York Mail and Express, is
obliged to keep sharp lookout for
inquisitive spectators, who would
like to follow him when he starts out
to make a collection. Mr.. Wilson has
been offered large sum for the arrow
heads he has already in hand, but the
offer was refused. When the collec-
tion reaches 5000 heads it will be the
most extensive in the country.

The mining craze seems TO have
struck some portions of Georgia and
Alabama pretty hard. A score or
more of new gold mines have been
opened in these States within the last
three or four months notes the st.
Louis Republic, and good many old
ones are being worked as they were
never before. George Huntington
Clark predicts in the Manufacturers
Record that in the immediate future
the gold fields of Georgia are going to
surprise the old doubters as much as
the development of Southern iron did.
The richest gold mines of that State
are as yet untouched, he says.
Georgia's gold belt covers a strip of
country from twenty to forty miles
wide, ami extending across the State
from northeast to southwest, embrac-
ing about 1000 square miles. 1t runs
into Alabama and spreads out over
some 5000 square miles more in that
State. Georgia's mines have so far
produced over $l6, 900, 900 worth of
gold and silver, or more thsn those of
any other Southern State except
North Carolina.

FAREWELL

] say farewell, but with a sense
OF something more than confidence
That it is not the dismal word
Which, overgrown with gloom, is heard
Where tears are shed, where people part
The pieces of q broken heart.
And things like that-the dreadful kind,
Which shake the soul and mar the mind.
To me, farewell is touch OF hands,
A parting on the golden sands,
A look to eastward, where the light
Shall rise to drive away the night
OF separation, which must fall
In chilling shadows on us all.
To me It does not seem the end
or what has been for friend and friend,
But through its severance see
Beginning OF what is to be
A promise Of the future, when
The hands which parted, clasp again.
These are the sunbeams, which dispel
The shadows, when saw farewell.

THE FAITHFUL HEART.

Wherever / am led by fate,
In regions wild and desolate,
Or in the hurrying crowd, more rude
And alien far than solitude,
One blessed truth in shine and storm,
Consoles my heart and keeps II warm
One tender soul, through good and III,
Remembers, holds, and helps me still.
In mountain gorge, on treeless plain,
In weary wastes unblest by rain,
Or selfish cities, lonelier far
Than wilderness and desert are,
One face is ever by my side,
My shield and guardian, friend and guide
A face that none but can see
The face Of her who thinks Of me.
Though miles on miles stretch wearily
Between that faithful heart and me,
know its unforgetting grace
Can bridge all distance, time and space,
Can send blessing from afar
However wide my wanderings are,
And be. wherever may stray,
My FIRE by night, my cloud by day.
spread my blanket on the ground,
Remote from human sight and sound,
Aud as my senses swim to sleep
Amid the silence wide and deep,
The wind by which my cheek is famed
Seems like her kind, caressing hand,
And in each wandering star, see
The face of her who prays for me.
o tender light, shine softlier yet
o watchful eyes, do not forget
o helpful heart, my strength renew,
And keep me safe, and hold me true
o gentle face, still kindly beam,
Sustain my soul, inspire my dream,
Be now and always, near and far.

at his chambers and announced that
he was ''stone broke.
Stanton reproached Wild for his
dissipated habits, and declined to rem
der him any assistance.
Raymond Wild was hot blooded and
high words ensued. The quarrel was
at its height when Mrs. Morton, Gill
bert's old laundress, who had been
completing her morning duties in an-
other room, closed the door of the
chambers and passed out.
Shortly afterward the tempers of
the two men cooled. Wild apologized
for some offensive remarks he had
made, and they shook hands. Gilbert
now promised to do his best to help
his old acquaintance, and invi ed Wild
to remain an hour while he went to
keep an appointment.
When Gilbert Stanton returned he
mounted the stairs to the door of his
chambers, but did not Immediately
enter. He stood for few minutes on
the landing, considering what course
he should adopt with regard to the
man inside.
AS he leaned against the door, smok-
ing a cigarette, he was startled by a
loud explosion inside.
He hastily unlocked the door and
went in. Stretched upon the floor
was Raymond Wild-dead!
The evidence at the inquest was
simply this: The police, when called
in, had found the dead body of man,
identified as Raymond Wild, with a
bullet wound in his head. A revolver
was also discovered which Gilbert
Stanton had admitted was his, and
the contents of one chamber had
been discharged,
Mr.. Stanton had said: "The man
committed suicide 1 was not inside
the chambers at the time
William Carey, n solicitors clerk,
depdose that he was looking out of
the office window on the ground floor
when he saw Mr.. Gilbert Stanton
enter the building, and heard him run
up the stairs.
About five minutes afterward-cer-
tainly when ample time had elapsed
for Mr.. Stanton to enter his chambers
he heard the explosion.
Eliza Morton, Mr.. Stanton's laun-
dress, had admitted the deceased on
the morning in question, and noticed
when leaving that the two gentlemen
were "having some words.
His defense was that Wild had found
the revolver during his absence; that
he was standing outside the door of
his chambers, as We have described,
when the shot was fired that although
they had quarreled they were on pacific
terms when he went ont, and that the
deceased had left n written confession
of his own guilt and Gilbert's inno-
eence.
But where was this written confes-
sion? Gilbert Stanton declared that
he found it on the bed room mantel-
piece, but during the excitement OF
the hour had mysteriously lost or mis-
laid it. He had searched everywhere
for it, but without avail.
He distinctly remembered that, af-
ter examining the body, he placed the
paper on a small table in front of him,
and glancing out of the window, saw
policeman in the quadrangle. He
at once decided to call the constable
and ran downstairs to do so. leaving
his door ajar.
On his return the paper had disap-
peared, and he never saw it afterward.
The most diligent search had failed tc
discover it.

BLOOMSBURY.

The new year WAS ushered in with
considerable noise. At the first stroke
of the town clock for the hour of
twelve-the last breath of the expiring
year-the bells, with joyous peals,
rang in the new, and every factory
whistle sent forth its shrill announce
ment as if to frighten away the old,
while in many of the churches the con-
gregation on beaded knee gave thanks
that they were permitted to see the
new.
Bloomsbury has great reason to bid
farewell to 1893 with especial defer.
snce for she is one of the few towns
upon which the late business depressiO
has left only faint trace. There is no
real want hers that would not receive
immediate relief if it we're made
known.
Companies have shown much good
judgment and real sympathy by retain
ing the most needy among their en-
ployes and reinstating az fast as pos
sible those first whose circumstances
were most imperative-heads of fam.
lilies, one son from a family, etc. In
that way actual suffering has been
kept at bay. All the industries, OF
which we have a goodlY number, are
working with nearly full force.
