In our anxiety at last to reach heaven
We are apt to lose sight Of the glee or
welcome that awaits US If we get in at
all. We all have friends up there. They
will somehow hear that we are coming.
Such close and swift and constant COM
munication is there between those up
lands and these lowlands that we will
not surprise them by sudden arrival.
II loved ones on earth expect our COM
ing visit and are at the depot with car
riage to meet US, surely we will be met
at the shining gate by old friends now
sainted and kindred now glorified. If
there were n angel of God to meet US
and show us the palaces and guide US
to u everlasting residence, these kin
dred would show us the way and point
out the splendors and guide US to our
celestian home, powered and fountained
and arched and illumined by a sun
that never sets. Will it not be glorious,
the going in and settling down after
all the moving about and upsettings of
earthly experienced? We will soon know
all our neighbors, kingly, Queenly, pro-
phetic, apostolic, seraphic, archangelic.
The precious bundle Of life opened amid
palaces and grand marches and accla-
nations. They will all be SO glad we
have got safely through. They saw US
down here in the struggle. They saw
us when we lost our way. They knew

Gone from US is our dear mother,
Gone to her eternal home;
Never more will we behold her,
Never hear her gentle tone.
And the hand that used to fondly
Smooth our hair, oh, how we'll miss;
Never feel upon our forehead
Mothers tender, loving kiss.
or all the various types OF love,
You'll never find another
Whose love will cling through good and i'll,
Like that of loving mother.
Doubtless your eyes will often turn
Upon her accustomed place.
You'll sigh TO hear her voice again,
And look into her face.
But this should sooth your grlet to know
She has laid life's burden down,
And in exchange gone to receive
The victor's palm, and robe and crown.

AnglO.SaxOn ChristendOm. .

The two great english speaking nations
the United States and Great Britain are TO-
day engaged in war. Both have declined
any other settlement and both assume, with
much show of right, to be the greatest civil
llzers in christendom.
Last summer, at the call of the head Of
what is accepted as being the most tyran-
nical government in Europe, great represen'
tatlve men from every chief state under the
sun, went through the form of endeavoring
to disarm and to do away with war The
Gear of Russia may have hoped to render
war impossible. or practically the anchor OF
that hope is dragging and if Britain should
be weakened to certain extent by the pres
ent war, or any complications arising there,
from, christendom need not be unduly sur.
prised at learning that the Gar has DELIVER
ately weighed that anchor and "sailed into
Great Britain, to drive her out of some OF
the garden spots in Asia that Russia covets.
As yet the microphone would be unable to
catch the echo, back from mankind, CT the
angels song: peace on earth: good will
toward men,"
SHIRT FACToRY-Thurmont has the
promise of an industry that will give employ
ment to fifty women and girls, DR.. Sloth-
over of Baltimore City. who is now operat.
ing flint mines near this place, has deter,
mined to locate shirt factory here, if every
essential requirement be met. On Friday
evening last about twenty of the business
men of the town met and discussed the mat.
ter with him. The meeting was in every
way satisfactory and his first condition, viz:
that the positive promise of fifty female oper.
ativcs be first secured, is now being carried
out. Notices have been sent out, asking that
all who will agree to work in the factory re.
port at once to some one of the merchants,o or
other business men of Thurmont. AS soon
as the required number have been positively
secured, DR.. Slothower will again meet our
people and lay his final proposition before
them; it is hoped that this may be accomp,
lished during the current week.
Any one between the ages of fifteen and
fifty years will be eligible; there should be
little trouble to secure among our girls and
women, as many rs fifty. Send or take your
name to some one OF the business men here,

A SOUTHERN JAMBoREE We have just
received from the publishers copy OF this
most unique musical composition. 1t is
certainly one of the most catchy pieces Of
music we have ever heard. Composed by
Mr.. ]. w. Lerman, it is making as big a hit
as Georgia Camp Meeting" 1t is dedicated
to Mr. Thas F. Shannon, former manager OF
Sousa's great band, who knows good thing
when he sees it, and he is having such sue
cess in playing 1t that Sousa, lnnis, Brooke,
Washington Marine and all the largest and
best bands in the country have taken it up
and are now playing it to most enthusiastic
audiences The regular price of this music
is so cents per copy, but if our readers will
be sure to mention the name of this paper
they can secure copy by sending 20 cents
to the Union Mutual Music Co, 20 4. 14th
Street, New York.
SECURE IT. There will Oe a proposition
laid before our people within the next week
or ten days: that proposition will cover the
conditions upon which we can secure very
desirable manufacturing industry. Now oul
people should not make the mistake of assum
ing to dictate the TERMS they must under
stand that when they want something that
somebody else wants and Is willing to pay
for, it is unreasonable-imp pOssible-that we
should secure it under any less fay orable
terms. We know, or should determine,
, the industry will be worth to US, so that we
may be in a position to decline any PROPOSE
tion requiring us to pay more that it will bt
worth (Which we have no reason to antlcl
pate) and that at the same time we may bt
certain not to allow it to slip through oul
fingers, if there should appear to be decid
ed balance annually in our favor above thai
which we shall agree to pay in order to Sc
cure it,
Look the matter squarcly in the face:othert

THE FIGHT ON SAN
FRANCISCO'S CHARTER

CALL HEADQUARTERS, sACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 1.-THE fight that is to be
made against San Franciscos charter did
not open to-day in the Assembly, as was
expected. Yesterday the consideration of
the charter was made the special order
for to-day after reading of the journal.
NO opposition to it was expected, and the
news that Grove L. Johnson of Sacra-
mento was to voice the objections OF the
railroad to 1t on the floor of the Assem-
bly, came as a surprise The fact that
Johnson was to interfere in the matter,
in which he has no direct interest, was
already known to Hon. Charles L. Pat
Ton ana Hon Henry L. Clement, and they
to meet Johnson tomorrow morning.
Johnson will base his fight on purely
technical grounds. He and Assemblyman
p Pr are about the only members on
the floor who are foolhardy enough to
risk political effacement in openly opo
posing it.
It's consideration will require the great
est portion of to-morrow's session 1t must
be read at length by the clerk, and as
there are 1900 words of printed matter
in 1t, progress will necessarily be slow.
