not aid the sick or relieve the dis

the successful candidate. lust how
much more good would be done If
every person now so deeply interested
politically, would give the same as

of idle persons, could better be i'm
imagined than described. Poor people
cannot subsist on politics and stump
speeches, of which we have every
variety, from the sublime to the re-
diculous; but it gives no employment
to the laborer, upon whom time hangs
so heavily, as on the idle man who's
family is looking to him for support,
to whom are the hours so lingering,
whoare so often devoured with spleen,
and obliged to fly to every expedient
which can help them to get rid OF
themselves, instead OF producing
tranquility. Idleness produces fretful
restlessness of mind, gives rise to
which are never satisfied,
nourishes a sickly, eGelninate delicacy
which destroys and corrupts every
pleasure, visible or invisible. Polit-
cal wars are worthless entertainments
to the laborer, and he is not Slow in
finding it out. RALF.

Buck TAYLOR and the Priest.

New York Commercial Advertiser:
Some of Colonel Roosevelt's Rough
Riders are speakers-others are work.
ers. Sergt Buck Taylor is of the lat
ter class. He converted Father Dean
of Ogdensburg into the straight and
narrow path of Republicanism the
other day. 1t happened this way. The
priest had boarded the special train
along with delegation of local poll
ticians a few miles below Ogdensburg.
His visit had 20 political significance,
as he only wished to see and speak to
the colonel of whom he had read so
much. On the way to Ogdensburg
Taylor overheard the priest say that
he had not registered. This was his
opportunity. "Why have you not
registered, father" he asked as he
introduced himself Amt you
Republican," mo, replied his
reverence, smilingly, I'm a priest.
Politics is not my trade. " Now,
look here, father, Taylor went on,
"don't you believe in purity?' "Of
course l DO, " said the priest in some
surprise Don't you believe in hon
esty?" persisted the Rough Rider.
The father nodded assent. and
don't you believe in religion?" Taylor
continued, still shaking the priests
hand. Certainly l do, replied
Father Dean. Then why in hell
don't you register and vote for my
colonel?" said Buck. Gust look me
straight in the eyes and say that you
will" The priest promised.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The girls say they are pumpkin
husking at the caunery.
The wheat fields are getting a love

Leaving husked corn out in the
fields exposed to the rain is certainly
not beneficial to the corn. In our

we have seen many bushels exposed

In reading a journal recently we

Some persons are very particular
about their employment, and really
look upon certain kinds of labor as
disgraceful, and so express themselves
1t is generally conceded by intelligent
people that all labor is honorable OF

cling to his labor, ifit saves nothing
else it may be the means Of saving
him. An honest industrious man IS

The public is aware OF the attempt

before, this opposition to Mr.. Dayton
does not come from the Grafton Post

OBITUAR

Joseph Sanders, OF Stony
Fork, N. G., was found dead
in his bed On the night of
Jan. 23rl. 1898. Mr.. Sand
ers was upwards OF IS years
OF age. and has lived a con-
sistent member OF the Bap.
tist church for more than so
years. Few men ever live
the life this old friend has.
He has worked very hard all
his life. and has accumulated
a fortune, but paid no a.ten
ton to the luxury of this life,
his chief aim was to live up
to hls Masters command.
He would talk to his wife and
friends about the rest God
had prepared for him. The
day preceding his death, he
was as we'll az he had been
for some time, although had
lost the seEse oil hearing a.
bout one year ago. He told
his wife and son "his soul
and body had to part he
said: 81 ain bound to face
my Maker" That night h.
was discovered by his vile t.
be- lay ing on his bed q cold
llfeless form.
He leaves a large circle OF
friends to mourn their loss.
But our loss is his eterra
gain. He died very suddenly
But Mrs. Henans says in the
following lines that death
hath all seasons tor her own
"Leaves have their time to fail
And flowers to wither at the
North winds breath
And stars to set-but all
Though hast all seasons fol
thine own-Oh! DEATH"
