Beneath The Rod.

To Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin G. Wilson
,on the death of their son Lee.
Sometimes think that mid the rounds
OF trials fraught with strife
While battles rage for golden godsl
In contests fierce and rife,
Through loss and cruel circumstance
Amid Earth's dust and din,
We're often made to suffer more
And greater than we sin.
Once searching for some promise strong
To still grief's surges wild
Imurmured thus, ''If God be God.
And. !, His living child,
How can he see me troubled 50
From gladnsss rent apart
And not lean doW.i is would do
TO soothe childish heart.
Though sometimes through kesn smart and
We writhe beneath the rod,
Yet. can ws not cen dimly trace
The loving hand Of God"
Twas thus in troubled trend that day
Hard Thoughts oppressed me sore,
When the sacred volume oped
And turned its pages Ger.
iii OF tna0pOon Olu anu BEdhu
I'd plucked the heart within
And felt how sanity Job was scourged
And purified from sin.
A. sorely wrung by anguish dread
With ache In heart and limb
He fervent cried, "Though he me slay
VIII yet trust in him."
Then came desire to do and bear.
And like Job stronger grow,
And in Gods care have perfect trust,
Yea trust and love Him 80,
I'd know each stroke of Jchastening s0ro
For some kind purpose Riven
To separate the good from i'll
And ft the soul for Heaven.
For saref one would purer grow
Or send his life's aim higher
His earthly dross must melt away
Within Gods crucial fire;
For trial trieth tender hearts
As Are refneth gold
In which is set the costly pearls
And rubies manifold.
Though now In: furnace heat ye glow
Yet, when the flames shall part
All blessed will ye be II cleansed
In inner. life and heart
Sometimes ladder doth appear
Whose rounds are OF the rod
Who're driven souls may Heaven'ward climb
And converse hold with God.
Then on each golden promise rest
And hold thereon by might
And in the darkness walk with God
BY faith and not by sight.
Although from thee be press ed tho cry
"How 10 Dg, oh Lord, how long,
May CLEANS o! mercy gild thy gloom
Till sorrow melt In song,

Minstrel Show.

1t was a veritable festival of tnu-
sic and mirth that was enjoyed by
the habltues of the opera house last
night when the Big Minstrel COM
pany organized by the we'll known
Diamond Bros. held forth. Such
an aggregation of high class talent
in minstrelsy has probably never
before been gathered together, as
the comedians and specialists that
make the Diamond Bros. company
masterpiece and an event in the
realm of comedy. The magnifcence
OF the stage setting in the opening
part, the richness of the costumes,
the excellence of the music and the
superiority of the singing, won the
demonstrative admiration of the
large audiences and encore after en-
core rewarded the efforts of the ar
lists. The jokes were clean, for the
greater part new and irresistible

Domestic Infelicity,

S. M. Weakly, of Happy Hollow,
gave his bibuious tendency full
sway yesterday, and when his wife
encountered him on Wells street in
the afternoon he had become un-
manageable. His better half was
enraged at his conduct and struck
him. When Weakly recuperated
from the blow he found a club and
started on search for his spouse.
But his desire to wreak vengeance
was made abortive by his arrest on
Water street.
This morning he was arraigned
and fined $40 and costs, an aggre-
gate of SI2.6o, and given until to.
morrow morning in which to remit
the fue. II he Is delinquent he
will be sent to the penitentiary at
Moundsville.

Effective San Jose Spray.

The salt, sulphur and lime spray for
San Jose scale, as it has been used with
good results in California for many
years past, is made as follows: Unslak-
ed lime, 40 pounds; sulphur, 20 pounds;
salt, 10 pounds. Ten pounds of the lime
is first slaked and boiled with the sui
phur in 20 gallons of water for three
hours over brisk fire. The remaining
30 pounds Of lime is slaked and added
to the boiling mixture, the salt is then
put in and the whole boiled from 80
minutes to an hour longer. Water suffi-
Gent to make 60 gallons is then added.
When the ten pounds of lime and the
sulphur have been boiled long enough,
the mixture assumes deep amber color
and the sulphur will be held in solu-
tlon. Before use the whole should be
strained through fine wire screen and
be agitated while the pump is at work.
1t may be strained through burlap, but
loose threads are carried through, and
these are liable to clog the pump.
This mixture has been found equally
effective as preventive of curled leaf
and fungous disease, as remedy for
the scale, and in all the large orchards
OF California it is used religiously every
winter. 1t must not be applied after
the trees are in leaf or when the buds
are bursting, as it will injure the TO-
iage, but when the trees are dormant il
can be used without danger, says a COR
respondent of The New England Home.

SOME POTENT FACTS
That the Reader Will Do Well
to Carefully Ponder Over.

1t was kept a secret for years in
a good old Quaker family. The
neighbors all knew about it, and
many time had reason to be thank
full fer its existence. It's fame spread
and strangers who heard about it
wrote for information concerning it,
sometimes tried its virtues and
sometimes put off trial for a more
convenient time. To tell how it
was dragged from an obscure coun-
try village and placed before the
general public would be interesting
reading, but lack of space compels
us to withhold the particulars. 1t
is sufficient to know that over a
year ago it had gone to every city
and town in the north, unpreten-
tious and unassuming. 1t said: II

my claims; try me if you have back

pointed. The above is fragment

Alas, poor Barrett! He was picked be-
fore he was ripe. Had he been left
standing few seconds longer in order
that he might attain to the full matur-
ity of his promise, he would have salts
fed not only the most ardent patriot in
congress- but the foremost of jingoes-
though the jingoes have rather subsided
since the Cuban situation became really
serious The member from Melrose got
up in the house to move an amendment
to the $50, O,000, 900 appropriation bill. He
gazed out over his glasses in that sa-
gacious and superior way Of his, but the
gallery gods and some of the representa-
tives wanted to see and hear no more.
They thought he was going to try to
squelch the whole business, and they
hissed him down. Again, we say poor
Barrett! He was only going to move
that the time within which the president
may spend $50, ,O00 900 be extended to two
years, whereas the bill allows only a
beggarly eight months. The Melrose
statesman was eager to set himself right
before the house, and to say what he
afterwards did say, that he would glad
ly vote for 500, ,OOO 900, but the rest of
the Massachusetts delegation had to sit
on him to keep him quiet till q more op-
perfume time for standardization should
come-and come it did.

Mr.. George de Forest Brush is live
and talking refutation of his own as
sertion that there is mo nation in
Europe but is freer" than America. We
fancy Mr. Brush might be persuaded to
modify his opinion as given in the re-
ports Of his address in this city, If he
were to discuss government with SINH
lar recklessness in certain European
countries. There have lately been nu-
merous instructive convictions and sem
tences in Germany, for instance, merely
because newspapers have spoken too
flippantly of the sacred person of the
emperor, and there have been signifi-
cant complaints that civilians have been
''pinked" and even murdered by army
officers because they were 'in the way
or were not respectful" The kaiser's
livery, too, is sacred. The past few weeks
have also developed an interesting sit
uation in France, which even Mr.. Brush
would hardly dignity with the ideal
name of liberty" AS to his analogy
between the present condition of the
United States and that of France just
previous to the revolution, Mr. Brush
will need to devise some ingenious maps
and diagrams before he can expect to
make an unimaginative, sober and mat
ter-of-fact people understand what he
is driving at. No doubt M. Brush's in
tentions are good, but he seems to have
lost his balance and bearings. He
should cast an anchor to windward and
buy a good. strong spring tonic to nit
igate his extreme tired feeling.

The sudden imitation of the ordinarily
conservative Chicago Tribune and Chi
cago Times-Herald into jingo war bal
looms has been the amazement of the
country, for the past ten days. What
was the cause of this unexpected yell
Iowness? No explanation has yet been
given for the spasms of the veteran
Joseph Medill, but Mr.. Kohlsaat has set
forth the reasons for the conversion
of his own newspaper, the Times-Her-
aid, and as he is a personal friend of the
president, his description Of the situation
is worth looking at. He declares that
"the leaders of discomfort, the shouters
for free silver and the enemies of con
servatsm and social order are even now
ready to pool their issues and join to-
gether in the cry of Free Cuba-Free
Silver" and ON that one issue they eX-
pect to carry the country like a cy-
clone Between war and free
silver the Times-Herald is for war"
Now, this is a nice presentation of the
case. If there is anything that should
not be used as foot ball in partisan do
mestic politics, it is the foreign rela-
tions of the country. Especially should
the people be firmly united when the ell
ement of war enters into the case. Mr.,
Kohlstaat throws upon the free silver
ties the blame for thus harnessing is
sues together that should be kept sep
arate, but he accepts their challenge
with such zest as to make himself seem
particeps criminis. There are evidences
that similar talk is heard in Washing
ton, for the correspondents are discuss
ing what the political effect would be if.
when the congressional elections come
around, the president should have failed
to use the $4,000, 900 which was granted
him by congress without a dissenting
democratic vote. To this the answer is,
that the president himself first asked
for the appropriation, and this very fact
is evidence enough of his intention to
act whenever the time shall be ripe,
and Of course he must be allowed to de-
eide when that time shall be. This is a
sensible answer, and the friends of the
president will only add to his embarr-
| assments If they thrust domestic poll
tics into the settlement Of the Cuban
imbroglio The country may be forced
| into war, but it does not behoove repub-
licans to assist in the process of fore
| ing.
