ltis East WISHES Respected.

Eugene Field was very much impressed
by the custom of the people on the Pacific
slope, particularly the residents of interior
California, of carrying firearms. Nearly
every man carries dirk or pistol. Men
can almost daily be seen driving or riding
with shotgun or pistol lying on the buggy
seat or slung over the shoulder
He tells story OF two travellers meeting
on . lonely plain. One started to put his
hand to his pistol pocket, when the other
instantly raised his rife and shot him dead
"l'll just take his pistol before leaving
the scoundrel," said the murderer, and put
ting his hand in the back pocket of his vic
tim pulled out-not revolver, but a pint
bottle of whiskey
"Well, really that's too bad" said the
shooter to himself, "but | am perfectly JUS
titled, as l supposed he was reaching for
his revolver Then slowly uncorking the
bottle and raising it to his lips, he took a
big drink, continuing as he finished :
"Well, it's some consolation to know | have
carried out the last wishes of the deceased "

Force Of Imagination.

Walter Besant makes the following OBJ
servations concerning the force of imagina-
ton
1t is perfectly calm sea the surface is
lust touched with white under fresh but
quite gentle breeze; the motion of the ship
is like that of the poets imagination, car
rying the dead body of his friend
That all thy motions gently pass
Across a sea Of motion glass.
Just a slight roll indicates that we are at
sea. 1t is large boat. There is no smell
of oil or machinery. Yet the people are
seasick. One girl is really i'll. She lies in
her sisters arms, white and motionless, like
a marble statue Another girl is also suf-
fering. Strange to say, she laughs at it,
She looks up to her companion and laughs
merrily. Oh, bat this is superhuman II
is thing unheard Of She must be god
desss-a Dryad, Naiad, an Dread or one
of the Oceanides. If we were to drop her
over, Father Neptune himself would come
up in bis shell chariot to receive her. one
laughs Saw one ever like her {? She laughs
being seasick She SCOTS, being in agonies
Even the tarry-hsnded sons Of ocean look
on with wonder in their faces. Now, nei'
ther Of these giEls would be i'll but for i'm
apina!ian, which indissolubly connects
seasickness with a ship.

POETR Y.
HE CARETH.

What can it mean Is it ought to him
That the nights are long and the days are dim
Can he be touched by the griefs / bear.
Which sadden the heart and whitten the hair
About his throne are eternal calms,
And strong glad music Of happy palms,
And bliss unruffied by any strife:
How can he care for my little life?
And yet l want him to care for me,
While live in this world where the sorrow:
be,
When the lights die down in the path | take
When strength is feeble and friends forsake
When love and music that once did bless
HIVE left me to silence and loneliness,
And my life-song changes TO sobbing prayers
Then my spirit cries out for God who cares
When shadows hang over the whole day long
And my spirit is bowed with shame and
wrong;
When l am not good, and the deeper shade
OF conscious sin in my heart is made,
When the busy world has too much to do
To stay in ils course to help me through;
And long for Saviour-can it be
That the God of the universe cares for me?
o wonderful story of deathless love,
Each child is dear to that heart above;
He fights for me where / cannot fight,
He comforts me in the gloom of night.
He lifts the burden for he is strong
He stills the sigh and awakes the song
The sorrow that bowed me down he bears
And loves and pardons because he cares.
Let all who are sad take heart again,
We are not alone in our hours of pains
Our Father stoops from his throne above
To soothe and quiet US with his love.
He leaves us not when the strife is high
And we have safety, for he Is nigh.
% ha 10 xrh no M
o rest in peace, for the Lord will care.

Presbyterian Day at In,rood Park

will be inauguratcd Thursday, August 2nd,
1891. 1t is hoped to make the occasion MEM
orabe one, which will mark an era of good
will, good d-fellowship and a closer knowledge
of each other as individuals and churches of
this great denomination in this section of the
country. The question of having such day
originated with the Gerardstown church,
which will have charge thereof, but adjacent
churches have cordially endorsed the project
and will be fully represented upon the occa-
sion. The people of the various congregations
will thus be brought into more friendly social
relations and enthused TO more united, con-
certed and Jealous work for the cause of the
Church.
The various committees having in charge
the program for the day are actively at work
making such arrangements as will render the
first Presbyterian Day at Inwood Park one OF
rare enjoyment and profit to all.
Eminent speakers will be present to address
the people on appropriate subjects.
A trained choir Of fifty voices will render
special music of high grade.
Dinner will be served at low rate.
Mr.. II. A. Riddle Gen. Pass. Ag't, c. V. X.
R., has arranged that on the Presbyterian Day
at Inwood Park, August 2nd, special train
shall be run leaving Winchester at 9:45 a. m.
and returning, arrive at Winchester at $50 p.
m. This train will thus connect with the
morning train going south and the evening
train going north on the y. & o. r. r., and
will be run for the accommodation of persons
along the line of that road between Winches-
ter and Harpers Ferry -GrGdst0'0n Times.

General Gordon tn the Senate.

The 10th of July, 1894, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean, is likely to be one of the red
letter days in the annals Of the United
States Senate. The speech of General Cor
don, of Georgia, alone would give it bright
carmine The Debs insurrection in general
and the Peffer-Kyle expressions of sympa-
thy with it in particular served to fire the
patriotism of that magnificent old veteran
of the Confederacy, and it famed up with
an eloquence worthy the best days of con-
gressional eloquence. Others spoke in the
same strain, notably Senator Davis, of Min
| nesota, but there was double significance in
the superb outburst of loyalty from the lips
of the Senator from Georgia. He was one
of the first to take up arms against the
Union and one of the last to lay them down,
but he is more ready to champion the cause
of law aud order against anarchy.
No wonder the Senate was in a tumult of
enthusiasm over the flaming sword of 10y
atty, and that Senators and spectators alike
were taken quite off their feet, 1t was re-
conservation to liberty and the reign of law,
and the electrifying effect was not confined
to that chamber. 1t will be heard all over
this land. The appeal of General Gordon
must touch a responsive chord in their con-
sciences. Many of them fought under and
for the stars and stripes, Others were too
young, or were then in some foreign land
but they all know enough of the period
from 1861 to 1865 to appreciate the force of
this magnetic outburst of loyalty.
Il will be remembered that General Cor
don was the first of the "Rebel Brigadiers"
to enter the Senate after the war, and that
between him and General Grant a strong
personal friendship sprang up. This speech
affords a glimpse of the genuine loyalty of
the man which must have quite won the
heart of General Grant. The lnter-Ocean
is confident that the South will cheer to the
echo the sentiments of General Gordon, and
that if the Debs insurrection should take on
the proportions of rebellion the South
would furnish its full quota OF volunteers
for its suppression.

WOnidn's Mission.

JOHN W. Daniel at Mary WashugtoR's tomb.
This stone represents two ideals-wOman.
ly excellence and patriotic duty. They are
inseparable. Love for the mother is the
first as it is the most constant and sacred
emotion of our being. Affection spreads to
the family, clan, tribe or people to which we
belong and then twines around inanimate
objects attracted to them by the magnetism
of association. 1t fastens to birthplace, to
living place, to home, to motherland, to IA
therland, country. This is the genesis and
evolution of patriotism. But love of couD-
try is only a figure of speech. We cannot
love the insensate earth, which can give
back no responsive speech or glance of SYM
pathy. Love must go from and to the living.
Our countrymen are our country. Home is
the pure, original fountain from which all
patriotism must flow, and the stream can
never rise above lis source. As the woman
is the man is. As the man and woman are
the home is and as the home so the country.
Show me the refined, enlightened, virtuous
and industrious homes and will show you a
good government and great nation. The
nation is the aggregate, the homes are the
units man is the builder, woman is the in
spiration. Discuss constitutions, admins
trations and policies as we may, the outcome
must depend upon the subsoil they spring
from. Make the home all right and the
rest will follow. This is woman's mission.
Our race, the youngest that has framed a
language, nodded constitution and made a
name, has recognized that mission and held
it sacred. Other races roam the earth for
pelf and adventure and condescend to IN
ferior connections. Orr race foams the
earth only to hnd the spot on which to build
its homes Indeed, it never quits home. 1t
carries home with it. Wife and child, the
domestic animals and plants, the household
gods go where it goes, over the stormy bill
lows, into the wilderness, and even to the
verge of battle. 1t is beautiful legend OF
the Rappahsnnock that when Spottswood
and his companions came sailing hither the
air was made vocal by the English swallows
that they brought with them. The stars
might change, but they would make the
skies still resonant with the songs of the
olden homes.

The Co,cs Needn't Come Home.

A Cincinnati chemist has made discoy-
cry that promises to revoutioDize the dairy
business. II is a combination Of water, SOL
ids and fat that is equal 70 the finest milk.
1t is in reality chemically pure milk and is,
of course, free from all taints Of disease that
cows milk has. This milk will raise
cream, will sour, turn to curd and water,
and butter and cheese can be made from IL
the same as from COW milk. Atpresent the
cos, of production is more than one dollar
gallon, but the chemist believes with a few
more experiments he can reduce the price
to ten or fifteen cents gallon, and by max
ing it in Wholesale quantities can retail it at
the usual six cents quart. II will be but
a short time, according to this, till the DRY
