Next May the south wind will blow

want to make our everlasting resi-

1t is sad enough to have a hand or
foot amputated. In a hospital, after
a soldier had had his hand taken off,
he said, Goodbye, dear old hand,
you have done me a great deal of
good SERVICE" and burst into tears.
1t is q more awful thing to think of
having the whole body amputated
from the soul forever. I must have
my body again, to SET with, to hear

l must clasp the hand of my beloved

Jordan, and with it wave the
triumphs of my King. Aha! we

deep, and ransack the tomb, and
upturn the wilderness, and torture
the mountain, but he will find us,
and fetch us out and up to judge

come up with perfect eye, with per-

A TRIED AND TRUE MAN.

From the Scranton Truth.
The people of Scranton will, on the 18th
of this month. have an opportunity to vote
for mayor. There are two candidates
for that office. One of these is an amia-
BILE gentleman named Bailey; the other a
man Of charcter, force and experience.
Colonel l.. II. Ripple. who has been tried
In that office and not found wanting The
Truth Is not in politics, but 1t would be
false to its name II It kept silent when
such a man as Colonel Ripple Is 4 candi-
date for chief magistrate OF this town.
and when the nimble slanderers OF decent
manhood have grown bold in the inlquty
Of their falsehood. There is not a white
man Is this town. nor black man either
with q white mans heart, who does not
know deep down in the honesty OF his
heart that no party ever nominated more
honest, more liberal. a more manly
man for mayor Of Scranton than Ezra
Ripple. 1t is a shame to our citizenship
that such q candidate should be so indus
triously lied about when to use a homely
but honest phrase. good men are scarce
for office. . Let the unscrupulous
bark at his heels as they may and defeat
him II they can, but Ezra Ripple will be
as big q man and as big Scrantonian,
and as generous. and as charitable the day
after election as the day before.
Let us have a tried and true man for
chief magistrate Of this town. and his
name is Ezra II. Ripple.
