ter, politically, from this on than 1t has for
years. For some time there have been a
few men calling themselves Republicans,
and voting for one or more Democrats at
every election. They dog all the money
they can get out of the Republicans, use II
on themselves, and vote the Democratic
names now, but If they persist in this nefa-
rious practice longer their names will be
given for publication. Our present county
officers know them, as do many others. |

In this case it is better to use vaseline

apply some preparation containing car

the patches of material soaked off with

When the injury is extensive the suf-
ferer will be prostrata ed and may die
from the shock. Heat should be ap-
piled to the extremities and over the
heart, and hot drinks given until the
doctor comes.
In burns from strong acid the part
should be covered with dry baking soda
or lime, as the alkali will neutralize
the acid. No water should be used, but
cosmoline or oil applied after the alkali
has been brushed off.
When the burn has been caused by
an alkali an acid must be used. A per-
son recovering from the effects of Q
burn requires very nourishing food.

Greeley,s Personality.

Mr.. Greeley, then visitor to the
House-his term having expired-was,
of course, attired in some Fearful and
wonderful way" but no prince in vel
vet doublet and silken hose could have
interested NE so much. His was an
odd face, at that time of fierce political
strife seeming especially peculiar. 1t
was soft, plump and placid-a face of
perpetual childhood, yet strangely
shrewd and wise withal ; the face of a
man trusted aud abused, courted and
caricatured, loved and ridiculad, by
his countrymen for thirty years, and
now mourned for nearly as long, What
an element he was in our lite, intel
lectual and moral What grand,
embodied influence-a moral power
used somewhat automatically at times,
but always conscien tiously and un-
selfishly. Under the immense beset-
ment he was called upon to endure
from all sorts of luckless or discon-
tented people, misfortunate age, aspir-
ing youth, how wonderfully patient he
was, and gracious of time and efort
If he sometimes growled when too
much tried by unreasonable demands
and foolish pretensions, he was never
scornful or Indifferent when he recog-
nized real worth or talent, or the mute
appeal of honest poverty. When he
could give nothing else, he gave advice.
1t is true he was rather lavish with
that gift, but it was almost invariably
practical wisdom practically put
counsel of that faithful kind which, if
faithfully followed, ''leads on to for
tune" doubt not his much ridiculed
words, go West, young man." have
shaped many lives to good uses and
happy ends.
All, we shall never see such another
personality as his-so'quaint, original
and distinct; character SO independ-
ent yet sympathetic, so broad in its hu-
manity, yet SO loyal in its patriotism.
Some of my readers may be able to re-
call Mr.. Greeley's s face, of almost baby
fairness and contour, as it was forty
years ago, but very few probably will
remember the remarkable beauty of
his hands. White, delicately formed
and delicately cared for, they were his
sole show of dandyism. Yet what
brave, honest, friendly, helping hands
they were. Hands that never shirked
or slighted the work they found to do,
never touched bribe, never cast a
stone at an erring woman.-Grace
Greenwood.

CHESTNUT GROVE.

The health of this section is Just tol-
erably good. Some of the farmers are
sowing oats. Rev. j. +. Wampler, as.
sisted by Rev. d. j. Nelson, of Telford,
and Rev. Chas. Cox, of Jonesboro, are
holding a grand revival meeting at
Chestnut Grove; there was twelve con
versions in one night aud about thirty

time. May the good work go on till

A Young Hans "Wild Oats.y

So far as Young men Sowing his wild
oats" is concerned, writes Edward w.
Box in some editorials for young men
in the March Ladies Home Journal, it
has always seemed pity to me that
the man who framed that sentence
didn't die before he constructed it.
From the way some people talk one
would imagine that every man had in
stilledinto hin, at his birth a certain
amount of deviltry which he must get
rid of before he can become a man of
honor. Now, what is called Sowing
wild oats" is nothing more nor less
than self degradation to any young man
1t doesn't make man one particle
more of man because he has passed
through siege of riotous living and
indigcretion when he was nineteen or
twenty; 1t makes him just so much less
of man. 1t iwarfs his views of life
far more than it broadens them. And
he realizes this afterward. And he
doesn t know one iota more of "life," "
except certain phase of it, which, if
it has glitter for him in youth, becomes
repellent remembrance to him when
he is matured. There is no such thing
as an investigating period in a man 3
life; at one period it is as important to
him to be honorable and true to the
teachings of his mother as at another.
No young man need seek the darker
side of life" The lord knows that it
forces itself upon our attention soon
enough. 1t does not wait to be sought.
A young man need not be afraid that
he will fail to see it. He will see plen =;
Of it, and without any seeking on his
part either. And even if he does fail
he is the gamer. There are great
many things which we can accept by
inference as existing in this world. 1t
is not liberal education to see them.
Too many young men have burning
itch to see wickedness-not to indulge
in it, as they are quick to explain, but
simply to see it. But the thousands of
men who have never seen it have never
fe,t themselves the losers. If anything,
they are glad of it. 1t does not raise a
man g ideal to come into contact with
certain types OF manhood or woman
hood which are only removed from tine
lowest types of the animal kingdom by
virtue of the fact that the Creator chose
to have them get through the world on
two legs instead of four. The loftiest
ideal of woman hood that a young man
can form in his impressionable days
will prove none too high for him in his
years of maturity. To be true to the
best that is within man means, above
all, to be an earnest believer in the best
qualities of womanhood.

Too Bad.

Some persons develop positive gen.
ius for looking on the dark side. An
exchange gives this example:
There was very rich farmer who
would never own that he had anything
to be thankful for in the way of profits.
The parson once said to him during a
fine harvest season:
Come, Mr.. Jones, you can have
nothing to complain about this year,
at all events"
II can't say that, "said the farmer.
"Still you can't say what is amiss. !"
He thought bit and then replied,
very grudgingly: "Well, you see, there
will be no spoilt hay for the young
calves. Youths Companion.

Nashville, March 2, lS62-Dedicated TO the
memory of Wrl. G. Brownlow, Pars0n, Pa
trit, Editor, Governor, Senator.
When the guns of rebellion resounded
And echoed from sea unto sea,
When the loyal and true we're bounded
In the mountains of East Tennessee;
Then the nation arose like q giant
That had fingered too long in repose,
And marched ont for battle defiant
To fight and to conquer its foes.
And that shot upon Sumter rebounded
On tyrant and tory and knave,
Around the world echoed and sounded
The freedom and force of the slave.
There was none Of the nation more loyal.
Or suffered so much for the free,
AS the heroes so true and so royal
In the mountains of East Tennessee.
They sprang fro n the hill and the valley
Their Union Il, cherish and save,
Like the Swiss, with Winkleried rally
For freedom, or sink to the grave.
And their leader in thought was a parson
Who defied every traitor and knave,
They who murdered and committed arson
Found foe In great Browniow the Brave
