Not Anxious to Live.

The Moore family, consisting of
Charles w. Moore and his wife Mary,
and Mary's mother, Rebecca Moore,
Mary's name not having changed at
marriage, can hardly be called hap
py family. They live on Huslurs Run,
two miles fom Pennsboro, W. Va.
On Friday Frank Rawson came to town
at a gallop for a doctor to treat his
mother-in-law, who had taken poison,
with a view to ending her troubles.
A stomach pump and the doctors
skill brought the old lady around.
On Monday, Mary, the mother-in-
laws daughter, became offended at her
husband and SAID she would kill her
self. Charley not wanting her to do
it in his absence, locked up the shot
gun, and took the revolver with him.
When he returned he found his wife
hanging by a rope from a rafter on the
porch. She was black in the face, and
almost dead. He cut her down, and
succeeded in bringing her around. Aft
er the neighbors gathered Mrs. Moore,
Junior, said she would kill herself yet,
and her mother declared if she did,
there was no use of her living, and
Charley thought he would also schufle
off and end the family. They are all
alive at present.

Two Children Cremated.

On Monday last Mary Carter, col
ored, who lives in the settlement ad-
joining Berryville known as Josephine
City, left her home to make visit,
and in doing so locked her two chill
dren up in the house One was aged
about two years and the other 4 years.
During her absence, between l2and l
o'clock, when few persons were out
because of a cold rain falling, the
house was discovered to be afre, and
as the flames at that time had made
much Roadway inside, it was found I'M
possible to save the building. With
its destruction persisted the two chill
dren of Mary Carter. One of them,
when found, was burned to a crisp.
How the fire originated is not known,
but it is supposed the children got to
playing with that dangerous element
during the absence of their mother.
What terrible lesson does this incl
dent teach mothers about locking up
and leaving their small children IN
protected. The loss of the property
is a severe one to the owner in these
hard times, but the loss of the children
under such circumstances is much
harder upon the agonized mother

Asour SILVER.

To supply an efficient and perma-
nent remedy for our disordered cur
rency system may well tax the ability
of the ablest statesmen and fnanciers.
But it only requires the candid appli-
cation of plain common sense to dem
onstrate that some of the remedies pro-
posed are neither satisfactory nor last
ing.
Many members of Congress are re-
ported to have said that they will
countenance no measure that does not
provide for an increased use of silver.
Now nobody wants to have any more
silver in actual circulation; 1t is too
cumbersome and inconvenient. Any
body who wants gold can have it, and
it weighs only one-sixteenth as much
as silver; yet no one uses tin ordinary
affairs. Paper Is every way safer ana
more convenient to handle; and if its
value is sure and stable, it will be used
in preference to either metal.
Experience has demonstrated that
paper currency can only maintain its
value when coin can be had for it on
demand and if every one is confident
that the coin can be had, no one will
ask for it for ordinary occasions. Our
paper currency, whether issued by
banks or by the government is always
promptly redeemed when presented,
and every one has perfect confidence
in it.
If, then, everybody prefers paper
to coin, as it is as good as the coin, if
our paper money is as good as gold,
and there has always been gold enough
in the Treasury or bank reserves to
keep it 50, why on earth should any
body refuse to aid any effort to improve
this paper currency, because it does
not provide for futher use of silver,
when all experience and even mans
own feeling and judgment teach him
that people wont use silver if they can
help it?

OBITUARY.


D;ed AT his residence near Shepherds
town december l, 1894, Mr.. John W..
Hill, aged rs years, months and DAYS.
A beloved husband and devoted iaIner
has been taken from us, leaving an aIlec-
ton and sorrow that never can be healea.
Our father has been at times great sur
ferer for the past two or three years;
About seven weeks ago he began to IAN
and looked so much worse that we called
in our physician, but his disease banned
medical skill All was done for him by
his family and physician, but he coula
not be cured. We saw two or three
weeks before his death that his depart
ure was near at hand, but he stood as IL
were upon the banks of the river ever
and anon beholding without alarm the
troubled waters that so soon became
calm and peaceful to him. He is now
cold in death. No more will we hear
the sweet voice we loved so well. No
more on earth, but at last in heaven
hone we shall meet him again. He is
now stranger to suffering, for sickness
and main. sorrow and death, never Visit
that blest land. Father would often say
TO us that he would never get well; that
he would not be with us long; and when
the enemy death, which is an enemy,
indeed. came he was ready and waiting
10 90 to be with Christ, which is far bet
ter.
Farewell, dear father, thou art now
safe at home. Our father is sleeping so
free from all pain. He is sleeping so
peaceful, oh, let him sleepon. Oh, wake
him not, sweet spirit, to suffer again.
His trials are ended, his sorrows all gone.
Farewell. dear father. May the winters
SHOWS rest lightly on thy grave, and
when spring returns to deck the earth
with flowers may she plant her first and
sweetest upon thy resting place; and God
help us to prepare to meet our dear loved
ones in fairer, brighter cline.
Let me go. for am weary
OF the chain that binds me here;
Let thy spirit bend its pinions
To a brighter, holier sphere.
Earth tits true, has friends that love me
With their fond and faithful love,
But the hands OF angels beckon
TO brighter world above.
Let me go, for songs seraphic
Now seem calling from tie sky;
IT'S the welcome OF the angels
Which cen now are lowering nlgE.
Let me go. my heart has tasted
or my Saviour's wondrous grace;
Let me 90 where shall ever
See aud know Him face to face.

JENNIE NJ. HILL.

r them, 10, these many years.

For twenty years the Republicans
kept the South solidly Democratic by
their policy of federal interference with
state elections. The last session of Con-
gress repealed all laws based on this
policy and in the succeeding election
the Republicans carried West Virginia,
North Carolina, Tennessee, and made
gains all through the South. The les
son of this is too plain to be mistaken
even Mr.. Lodge admits that the pas
sage of force bill now would be sheer
folly. And yet Mr.. German has only
to jump up suddenly and cry Force
Bill" at the Democratic caucus to make
them drop the cloture proposition, and
with it all hope of accomplishing any
thing in the Senate at the resent ses-
sion.
We have always been taught that
true courtesy is the attribute of real
manhood, and goes hand in hand with
unfinching courage. What sort OF
thing, then, is this Senatorial Court
esy"? After few years spent under
its influence we see men who, a gener-
alton ago, deied the whole United
States government and took arms to
make their defiance good. now tremb-
ling and afraid to do anything them
selves, at the mere suggestion of the
mischieftheir Republican enemies may
do after them.

The Pains of rheumatism

Ac ,ording to the best authorities, originate In
n morbid condition of blood. Tactic acid
caused by the decomposition OF the gelatin
GUS and alOuminous tissues circulates with
the blood and attacks the fibrous tissues, par
ticularly in the joints aud thus causes the
local manifestations OF the disease. The back
and shoulders are the parts usually affected
by rheumatism, and the joints at the knees,
ankles, hips and wrist are also sometimes
attacked Thousands of people have found
in Hoods Sarsaparills positive and perma-
nent cure for rheumatism. 1t has had re-
marksble success in curing the most severe
cases. The secret OF its success lies In the
fact that IL attacks at once the cause OF the
disease by neutraiiziug the tactic acid and
purifying the blood, "a well as strengthening
every function OF the body,

Lines Written to the Memory of Our Father

Lines Written to the Memory Of Our Father
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is still:
A place is vacant in our home
Which pever can be nlled.
We miss him at our daily meals,
The vacant chair Is near;
And turning round 10 bid him come,
We find he is not here.
We miss him. but in yonder world
OfchangelesS love and grace,
In that bright world Wen meet again
Our father face to face.
The dead In Jesus Christ shall rise,
First to their Judge shall come;
Angels convey them through the skies
To an abiding home.
No more to groan and cry in pain,
No more TO sigh and weep,
You'll see your children all again,
Though long IN death they sleep.
Now though he STAY me with his rod,
Yet will trust his love;
NV whole dependence Is In God,
Oh, may faithful prove.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given,
And though the body moulders here
The soul is sale In heaven.
