What n marvel it is that all the ma
tons of earth do not rise up in raptures
of affection for himl must say it hero
and now. l lift my right hand in solemn
attestation love him, and the grief Of
my life is that do not love him more
Is it an impertinence for me to ask, Do
you, my hearer-you, my reader, love
him? Has he become a part of your ma
ture? Have you committed your children
on earth into his keeping, as your chill
dren in heaven are already in his bosom5
Has he done enough to win your conf
dence? Can you trust him, living and
dying and forever? Is your back or your
face toward him? Would you like to
have his hand to guide you, his might
to protect you, his grace to comfort you,
his sufferings to atone for you, his arms
to welcome you, his love to encircle you,
his heaven to crown you?
A Grand Thought.
Oh, that we might all have something
Of the great German reformer's love for
this Christ which led him to say, IF any
one knocks at the door Of my breast and
says, Who lives there? my reply is,
Jesus Christ lives here, not Martin
Luther. -" Will it not be grand if, when
we get through this short and rugged
road of life, we can 60 right up into his
presence and live with him world with
out end?
And if, entering the gate Of that heav-
enly city, we should be 50 overwhelmed
with our unworthiness on the one side,
and the supernal splendor on the other
side, we get little bewildered and
should for a few moments be lost on the
streets of gold and among the FURNISHED
temples and the sapphire thrones, there
would be plenty to show US the way and
take us out of our joyful bewilderment,
and perhaps the woman Of Main would
say, Come let me take you to the
Christ who raised my only boy to life. "
And Martha would say, Come, let me
take you to the Christ who brought up
my brother Lazarus from the tomb. "
And one Of the disciples would say,
Come, and let me take you to the
Christ who saved our sinking ship in
the hurricane on Gennesaret. " And
Paul would say, Come, and let me
lead Won TO the Christ for whom | died
on the road to Ostia." And whole
groups Of martyrs would say, Come,
let us show you the Christ for whom we
ratified the chain and waded the floods
and dared the fires" And our own glo-
rifed kindred would flock around US,
saving, eve have been waiting good
while for you, but before we talk over
old times, and we tell you of what we
have enjoyed since we have been here,
and you tell us Of what you have suffer
ed since we parted, come, come and let
us show you the greatest sight in all the
place, the most Respondent throne, and
upon it the mightiest conqueror the
exaltation of heaven, the theme Of the
immortals, the altogether great, the al
together good, the altogether fair the
altogether lovely"
Well the delightful morn will come
When my dear Lord will bring me home,
And l shall see his face.
Then. with my Saviour, Brother, Friend,
A blest eternity I'll spend,
Triumphant in his grace.

Portraits of Christ.

It was not until the fifteenth century,
or until more than l, 400 years after
Christ. that talented painters attempted
by pencil to give us the idea Of Christ's
face. The pictures before that time were
so offensive that the councilat Constan-
tinople forbade their exhibition. But
Leonardo da Vinci, in the fifteenth CEN
tury, presented Christ's face on two can
vases, yet the one was a repulsive, face
and the other an effeminate face. Raph-
ael's face of Christ is weak face.
Albert Durer's face Of Christ was saw
age face. Titian's face of Christ is an
expressionless face. The mightiest art
lists, either with pencil or chisel, have
made signal failure in attempting to
give the forehead the cheek, the eyes,
the nostril, the mouth of our blessed
Lord
But about his face can tell you some
thing positive and beyond controversy.
am sure it was soulful face. The
face is only the curtain Of the soul. 1t
was impossible that a disposition like
Christ's should not have demonstrated
itself in his physiognomy. Kindness as
an occasional impulse may give no illu-
mination to the features, but kindness
as the lifelong, dominant habit will
produce attractiveness Of countenance
as certainly as the shining Of the sun
produces flowers. Children are afraid Of
a scowling or hard visaged man. They
cry out if he proposes to take them. II
he try to caress them, he evokes slap
rather than a kiss. All mothers know
how hard it is to get their children to
20 to a man or woman Of forbidding ap.
pearance. But no sooner did Christ APP
pear in the domestic group than there
was an infantile excitement, and the
youngsters began to struggle to get out
of their mothers arms. They could not
hold the children back. Stand back
with these children!" scolded some Of
the disciples. Perhaps the little ones
may have been playing N the dirt, and
theiY faces may not have been clean, or
they may not have been well clad, or the
disciples may have thought Christ's re-
ligion was religion chiefly for big
folks But Christ made the infantile ex-
citement still livelier by his saying that
he liked children better than grown peo-
pie, declaring, Except We become as a
little child ye cannot enter into the
kingdom Of God.
Alas for those people who donst like
childrenl They had better stay ont OF
heaven, for the place is full Of them
That, l think, is one reason why the
vast majority Of the human race die In
infancy. Christ is SO fond Of children
that he takes them to himself before the
world has time to despoil and harden
them, and 30 they are now at the win
dows of the palace and on the doorsteps
and playing on the green. Sometimes

Senator Camden.

The premature action of some as
pirants to the United States Senate
has forced the issue on the State, to
certain extent, of choosing between
Camden and anti-Camden. In our
own county we place enough conf
dence in the representative, whom
we send, to allow him to 90 unfetter-
ed by resolutions or Instructions and
knowing that he must know the sen
timents of his people, he is trusted
to represent that sentiment, so long
as it does not conflict with the prin.
ciples of an honest and straight for
ward man.
Expressions of opinion that have
been made by the influential men OF
the county, go to show that Senator
Camden is as great a favorite with
our people as he has always been,
and the action of an unbalanced pol
itician who is creating fractional is.
sues in other counties,is looked upon
with great disgust. Senator Camden
is at his home in Parkersburg doing
all he can to unite the Democracy Of
the State, and he deserves the great
er credit for refusing to enter the
fight and defend himself from the
annoying attacks made upon him
from the stump.
When the Legislature ASSEMBLIES
next winter, and it is found to bt
safely democratic, and the important
task is assigned them to choose 6
representative of the State, Senator
Camdens claims to being re.seated
will be considered. He was cheated
out of one term after he had been
nominated, and last time gave way
for Senator Faulkner, to accept tn,
short term, caused by Kenna's death
He thus preserved harmony in the
ranks. Though he is standing on his
merits now, it was tacitly under
stood that he was to succeed himsel
on the expiration of the short term
If West Virginia is to have MAJ
as Senator who truly represents he
native worth, it will be hard to fine

can claim as much to his credit il

Must Resign One Office.

"a nice legal question has been
raised by the quo warranto proceed
ings brought by Attorney General
Hensel, of Pennsylvania, against
David H. McCarty, of New Kensing
ton, Westmoreland county. 1t is
whether a man can act as burgess
and postmaster Of a town at the
same time McCarty was elected
burgess last February, and on April
l was commissioned as postmaster.
The attorney general holds TINT he
is not entitled to hold both offices,
and quotes the state act of May 10,
1884, and article II, section 2, of the
State Constitution, to sustain his
position. Judge Mcpherson award
ed a writ requiring McCarty to APP
pear September "a and show cause
why he should not be removed from
the office Of burgess
We had case something like
the above in this county. A. G. C.
Sherbondy. who is a justice OF the
peace in S Springfield township, was
appointed postmaster at Normalyille
When notified by the authorizes al
Harrisburg that he could not hold
both offices, he resigned as postmas
ter, and had his wife appointed to
that position. It's all in the family
and everybody is happy, McCarty
should give the postofIice to his bet
ter half, If he has one, and if h'
hasn't better half, he should &c
one.-GeniuS Of Liberty.

The Poor Mans Friend.

The Republican party is forever
posing as the party of the poor man
and this in the face of the fact that
it's record, during its entire exis-
tence, shows that it has been run by
and in the interest of the rich. 1t
has never lifted burden from the
poor man. In its whole history it
cannot point to single act done for
the relief of the millions of American
laboring men. AT one time there
were taxes laid which did in part
distribute the burdens of govern
ment. There was a tax on:
First-The gross receipts OF
bridges, toll-roads. canals, ships,
barges, stage coaches, steamboats,
and railroads.
A Republican Congress repealed
it.
Second-There was tax on in.
comes.
A Republican Congress repealed
it.
Third-There was a tax on lega
cies and SUGGESTIONS.
A Republican Congress repealed
it.
Fourth-There was a tax on brok
er's sales.
A Republican Congress repealed
it.
Fifth-There was a tax on bill
lard tables, carriages, plates of golt
and silver, yachts, etc.
A Republican Congress repealed
it.
All of these statements can bt
verified by reference to the Acts O
Congress of July 18th, 1870.
The Democratic party restored
one of these items-the most impor
tant, to wit The incomes of tn
rich. We ask the farmer, mechani
and laborer, whether or not he ia
yors that tax. Mr.. Huling, who i
a candidate for Congress, will no
say how he stands on this grea

Last week a well known Wheeling
drummer had peculiar experience
at Warrington. He had been east
of that place and was on a fast train
coming toward Wheeling. AS the
train swung around curve on the
outskirts of the town, the salesman
who was standing on the platform

so great was the momentum of the
train. He was carried to o doctor S
office and after a brief examination
the physician said the man was dead.

THE TITAN OF Chassis.
A Mile Deep, ID Miles Wide, 217 Miles
long, and Painted Like a Flower.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than II hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $1,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at a reasona-
BILE price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also a trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is a grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.

Grand Canon, Illustrated by many
