There were ninety and nine that safely Law
In the shelter of the fold;
And one was out on the hills away,
Far OIL from the gates of gold;
Away on the mountains wild and bare
Away from the tender shepherds care.
Lord. Thou hast here ninety and nine
Are they not enough for Thee2
But the shepherd made answer, This OF


Mine


Has wandered away from me:
And although the roads be rough and steep,
go to the desert TO find Ny sheep"
But none of the ransomed ever knew
How deep were the waters crossed:
Nor how dark the night that the Lord pass


ed through,


Ere He found his sheep that was lost.
Out in the desert He heard its cry,
Sick, and helpless, and ready to die
"LOrd, whence are those blood drops all the


way


That mark out the mountains tracks"
They We're shed for one who had gone as


tay


Ere the Shepherd could bring him back -
Lord, whence are thy hands so rent and


torn"
They were pierced tonight by many


thorn
And all through the mountains thunder riven
And up from the rocky steep,
There rose a cry to the gates of heaven,
Rejoice have found Ny sheep"
And the angels echoed around the throne,
Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His own"

PURE GIRLS AND IMPURE BOYS
Girls, in treating dissipated young men
as equals, do a wrong they can scarcely
realize. Such men should be made to
feel that until they walk with correctness
and honor in the paths Of right, good
people stand alOof from them. Girls who
respect themselves will not be seen with
such men, and will decline to receive
them on the familiar footing Of friend
ship. It is a mistaken kindness to poul-
tiee when eaustie is needed, and l am

The MYSTERIES OF A HAIR BRUSH
\ writer in the american Journal Of HI
crOScoPy has been exploring the forests
Of bristles in hair brush surreptitiously
purloined from lady's toilet stand, and
though it contained nothing which we
are accustomed to regard with unquali-
fed horror, the results Of his investiga-
tions prove that there are mysteries or
dinarily undreaIued Of la this simple ap-
pliance OF the toilet. There are conceal
ed in the damp lint Of hair brushes, unless
kept clean by the use of bi-carbonate of
potassa or carbonate of soda, many liv-
ing things. t5y suiull for detection by the
naked eye, some Of which we are told
are OF more than suspicious character,
being known as the originators Of scald
head and other diseases of the scalp.


The author concludes his article by
caution against wetting the head, recon-
mending dry brushing instead He also
recommends the use Of a weak solution
Of earbolic acid, or sulphite Of soda, as a
cleansing material for hair brushes

! DEs MONIES, Sept. 29.-At the re- uuIon of the army of the Tennessee to- day, President Grant said that he had concluded to dlsapoint those who had called him in anticipation of hearing 8 short speech, as he had jOtted down many things he wished to say. He then expressed qualification ill recall ing the days when they had suffered together to preserve the Government which we believed worth fighting for and ev dying for. We will not, said he, deny to any of those who fought against the United States any privilege under the Government which we claim ' for ourselves. On the contrary We welcome all such who come forward in good faith to help build up the waste places and perpetuate our institutions against our eaemIes, as brothers m full interest with Us in common heri- tage. To guard against a recurrence of the past, We must begin by guard ing against every evil threatening the prosperity of our free repu blicsu ln- stitutious do not bring into this assem blaze politics, certainly not par tisan politics; but 1t Is fair subject for soldiers in their deliberations to consider what may be necessary to secure the prize for which they battled.

 The President urged the cultivation of intelligence among the people in re- gard to political matters, aud said: "If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict the dividing line will not b. Mason and Uixyn's, but between pa- triotism and intelligence on one side and superstition, ambition and IguOr- ance on the other. In this Centennial year the work of strengthening the tounda' ion of the structure laid by our forefathers one hundred years ago at Lexington should be begun. Let Us all labor for more security of free thought, free speech, free press and pure morals, unfettered religious sen timents and equal rights and privi- leges of all men, irrespective of nation ally, color or religion. Encourage free schools and resolve that not one dollar appropriated to them shall b. applied to the support of any sectarisn school. Resolve that neither State nor nation shall support institutions, save only those where every child in the land can get s common school education unmixed with atheistic, pagan or sectarian teaching. Leave the matter of religion to the family, and keep Church and State separate. With these sa z guards, l believe the battles which created the army of Tennessee will not have been fought in vain"

 The speech was greeted with sp plause repeated again and again.

 These remarks, especially the latter part of them, do infinite credit to the chief magistrate of the United States, and have unusual significance in view of the war being wsged in many parts of the country on our common school system.

A SCENE IN FRONT OF \ SUNDAY BAR


RooM-A CASE IN POINT.


(Frsm the Ptila. Times, Monddy)


As the church bells were ringing
yesterday afternoon, and the children
were running merrily to the Sabbath
School, a scene was transpiring ut the
corner OF Tenth and Sergeant streets
that was in strange contrast with the
day and Its associations. Three men
were fighting at the northwest corner
Of the street, one In his gray shirt
sleeves, his head matted and uncombcd
and his face unwashed, the other two
well dressed young mon. The former
had small bar Of iron which he had
wrcnched from sign post, but he was
receiving severe punishment from tho
others. 81 was only in fun" he broke
out into maudlin accents, II didn't
mean to strike you with this" just at
this moment two police officers sncdk-
ed behind him and rushed him of to
the station house.


A Times representative. who had
been quit observer, had hardly cross
ed the street when a neatly dressed
young lady rus.cd out of the liquor
store at Tie northwest corner and
cried to him: "Oh, sir what shall L
what can do-that poor man Is my
dear brother, and have begged these
men (pointing behind herr not to sell
him liquor; have appealed to them
three times today, and they promised
me they would not. But they not only
sell to him, but give it to him if he
hasn't the emoney--drug him with their
five cent whiskey. And just now he
came to the door with a tvmbler full
of the stuff, saying: Here's to mother
sister and Mayor Stokely." I rushed
to him to seize the glass from him,
when two men inside pushed me out,
and threw the contents all oyer my
dress. And she showed the stained
liquor running down her new silk
dress. Oh. am SO ashamed to 60 to
church. 1t is such disgrace. And
there is his dear old mother-she is
seventy five years old d,sir-standing at
the door crying. And we will have to
pay to get him out in the morning land
| am afraid it will be bad for him hav.
ing that piece of iron in his hand.


But will go to shurch; go to the
same church that Mayor Stokely goes
toto Broad and Arch-and II j see
him l will tell him how this man
breaks the Sunday law and sells TO my
poor brother against my entreaties.
Oh! If you are newspaper man do
publish this, if only for the sake of mis-
heart-broken mother, do something to
make this man stop giving or selling
nv moor brOthOr his yillainous stlIff ~
and as she rushed home to her mother
she burst into tears.


The lights in this "sample.room"
were brightly shining as the reporter
passed it at 8 o'clock last evening. Its
victim slept in the station house, and
the mother and sister wept at home.

Doubts having been expressed as to the
present status of the new State of Colorado, it
is well to remark that Colorado is entitled to
two full-fedged United States Senators and
one Representative in this Congress, and is
also entitled to three votes in the Electoral
College. 1t is expected that the two Senators
will be chosen in due time, and that they and
the Representative lately elected will take
their seats in Congress in December next. In
Ibis connection it may be observed that, in the
event of the election of the next President and
Vice President by the House of Representa-
tives, in the contingency pointed out by the
Constitution, the young State OF Colorado will
be entitled the same number of votes-one-
as the old and large States of New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, &c.

INHERITED LONGEvITY.-Eve body
has noticed that nearly all the members
of some families die aged, while those
of others are gone before what would be
called the middle age of the former. 1t
is a common and correct remark that
some are as old at forty as others are at
sixty; the latter will, in fact, be more
likely to live twenty years than the
former. The years a person has lived is
by no means the most important ele-
ment for judging how many he may
probably live, nor is present health of
much more consequence, since it is often
the case that families are very vigorous
and healthy while they live, yet are not
long-lived. They inherit healthy but
short lives. Notice the Laplanders.
Observe the citizens of Zurich, Switzer-
land, very healthy, but seldom reach
ing the age of sixty, while members of
one Italian family living in their midst
since the sixteenth century reached the
age of eighty or ninety. The Welsh are
the longest-lived people in Europe. The
Scotch are longer-lived than the Eng
lish, and the Irish shorter-lived, yet
they are all healthy as a people. On
the other hand, some who do not have
robust health are noted to live long. 1t
is said that they attain old age because
they take such excellent care of them
selves. Yet, though it is not denied
that the care is useful, it will be found
that they had at least one long-lived
parent, and thus inherited longevity
from one side, if not from both; for,
though it is often the case that those die
young who have long-lived ancestry, it
is very seldom that any person lives to
be year or two older than any of his
ancestOrs-parents, grandparents, etc.
