Swapping Barrels.

A tourist tells a story that one
Sunday he heard a good sermon in
Chicago, and the next at Colorado
City he heard the same Scripture
lesson read, the same text and the
same sermon. The minister on hav-
ing the coincidence mentioned to
him Thought it strange There
are parties who offer to sell outlines
of sermons for very small sums and
The Religious Telescope comments
as follows:
"If God calls a man to preach fhe
Gospel, be does not summon him to
be reciter or parrot. If a man
has not the intellectual ability to
prepare a sermon that is worth listen
ing to. and contains helpful thought,
he has no business to stand in the
pulpit and sponge of the generosity
Of parishioners. Such a man is OBJ
raining money under false pretenses.
lt is impossible to imagine Paul, or
Peter. or John, sen1ing to some SER
mon company for their weekly mes
ages. Spurgeon, and Brooks and
Bsecher, tosay nothing about Luther
and Wesley, and Otterbein, did not
need to travel around on the wooden
legs of other people. One man said
it is more beneficial to an audience
20 preach another mans sense than
mes own nonsense. II the efforts OF
me minister can not rise above nom
sense, and can not result in some
thing morally uplifting and intellect

The Newman Case.

People will recall the murder case
Of John Newman in Blooming Grove
and the trial and conviction Of his
wife for murder in the second degree
and her subsequent pardon. She
made application to the aministra-
trix Of John Newman for the widows
exemption Of $500 out OF the estate Of
her husband, and the matter was re.
ferred to c. w. Bull esq. as auditor,
who refused the claim, and awarded
her one third of the estate under the
intestate laws. Exceptions were
filed to the auditors report by ]. A.
Kipp esq, attorney for Mrs. New
man, who claimed the auditor erred
in nOs awarding 10 her the $500.
Judge STAPLE in an opinion just filed
sustains the exceptions and distri-
butes TO the widow $500 and one
third Of the balance under the intes-
tate law The court holds that she
was an accessory only under the evil
dence, in concealing the murder and
that no such turpitude attached t
her conduct otherwise as to warrant
the court In Withholding the widows
exemption. The case is novel in thi
state and as decided, if not carrieG
up and revered, will stand as a pre-
eedent.

TO MY CLOCK

When first you stood upon my shelf,
QfI remember right myself
My mirror showed girsh face
Without G wrinkle of times trace.
But many years you licked for me-
And time stole unwarily;
The furrows deep check and brow
Are what my mirror shows me now.
Hours you record n plain numbers,
Hours for labor hours for slumbers
Hours for resting, hours for pleasure,
Hours meted in fair measure.
The little ticks like grains of sand
That fill the shores and desert lands
Merge into weeks, and months and years,
Bringing sometimes Joys and sometimes tears.
Time was, and is, the same with you,
No sign shows time you have gone through;
Not so with me, I'm old and gray;
You're ticking fast my life away.
Tick on, my faithful little friend,
Tick on until the very end;
How long you'll tick, cannot tell;
You may tick for me my funeral kuell.

NOTES FROM
SANDYSTON

The blizzard of Saturday night
and Sunday about closed our roads
TO travel The milk wagons could
not reach the station at Layton or
Hainesville and the farmers took
their loads to Tuttles Corner and it
was nearly noon before they reached
that place. With the heavy loads
they pull it must have been nightfall
before they arrived at Branchville.
The Brink trial in Orange County
was put through in Jersey style, but
why keep that man in jail almost a
year before trial. That was unnec-
essary.
The Sandyston Committee will
meet in the Layton Grange Hall and
settle up the business of the year, on
Friday of this week.
Mr. and Mrs. Leander Degroat are
happy over the advent of a son in
their family circle on the 21st inst.
OF all fads the Souvenir Card
craze is the limit. 1t is not only the
kide, but all sges delight in sending
and receiving them and Uncle Sam
is reaping the financial end Of the
game.
The weather of the past week has
been of the Arctic variety for on the
goth it stood at above and en- the
2lst 1 above.
Our milk men will begin filling
their ice houses with 10 inch ice this
week.
The Lydia Decker dwelling situ-
ated in the village Of Layton was
sold on Thursday last. This was
sold to settle mp the estate. L. T.
Smith was the purchaser for s501.
John L Creveling one Of our old
est residents is in poor eilth and as
he Is nearly so years Of age thsre is
slight hope of ultimate recovery.
Most of our schools have taken q
two weeks holiday vacation. This
will give the pupils plenty of time
to do visiting, etc.
