HUSBAND AND WIFK.
She came to the room where her husband
Seemed taking a peaceful rest,
With his old hands clasped together
In slumber on his breast.
And she knelt down by the bedside,
And laid her poor, old bead
Close down by his, on the pillow,
And whispered to the dead:
“It’s only a little while, Daniel,
Since you died, but, dear, to me.
It seems like years since you told me
It had grown too dark to see,
And asked me to Come and kiss you,
And hold you by the hand,
As you started out on your journey
To find a Better Land.
“Have you found it? Tell me, Daniel,
Speak to your poor, old wife,
Why should we two be parted
In the last days of our life?
Oh! if they’d take me, too, dear,
I want to lay by your side,
For there’s nothing left to liye for
Since my good man has died.
’•You do not answer me, Daniel,
It-can’t be that you know
That jour oh] wife’s talking to you,
Dying has changed you so
There seems such a distance between us;
Ob, Daniel, it breaks my heart
To think you’ve left me behind you,
And we are so fur apart.
“I’ve brought the old Bible, Daniel,
You gave me when we were wed;
Never a day since our marriage
But there’s been a chapter read.
In times of peace an j gkdness.,
And times of tears and pain,
We’ve read it together, Daniel,
As wc never will read it again.
“You’ve no need of it now, dear heart,
But where else shall I find
The comfort and strength that's needed
By the old heart left behind.
Do you remember, Daniel,
When our first little baby died,
llow you read it, after the fua’rsl.
And l sat at your feet and cried?
“I remember the chapter. Daniel,
It was where the Savior said,
‘Blessed «re they who sorrow
For they shall he comforted.’
Oh, my arms and my heart seemed empty,
I missed the baby so,
Have you found the little one, Daniel?
Tell me, I want to know.
“Oh, go to the dear Lord, Daniel,
And ask Him to let me come;
Tell Him your obi wife’s lonely,
And longs to follow you home.
I want to be with you, Daniel,
I want to hold fast to your hand,
Tell the dear Lord about it, #
And lie will understand.”

The Evangelist.
“My son,” says Robert J. Burdette in the
Brooklyn Eagle. “I observe that ycu arc
pleased to be a little bit sarcastic on the sub
ject of the ‘modern evangelist.’ Now, do
let the evangelist have his way, as well as
the ‘reformers.’ Let him go where the
crowd is. lie won’t hurt the crowd. He
doesn’t teach the multitude to do anything
wrong, llerr Most didn’t get into jail lor
listening to Sam Jones. Tire Chicago an
archists were net the outgrowth of a revival
meeting. No Presbyterian elder, no Meth
odist class leader, no Baptist deacon has
been indicted for throwing bombs at the po
lice. There may have been an infidel or
two, a freethinker, maybe, na atheist, per
haps, mixed up in that crowd of anarchists;
I do not positively know, but there may
have been; you can easily ascertain. But I
do know that the deacon and the elder
weren’t there. None of Sam Jones’ con
verts were there. The evnngelist may have
some odd, rough, funny ways cf teaching;
but he doesn’t teach eyil.”
Summer coughs and colds generally come
to stay, but the use of Red StarCoagh Cure
invariably drives them away. Safe, prompt,

YYJiat Can Be Done.
By trving again and keeping up courage
many things seemingly impossible maybe
attained. Hundreds of hopeless cases of
Kidney and Liver Complaint have been
cured by Electric Bitters, after everything
else bird been tried in vain. So, don’t think
there is no cure for you, bat try Electric
Bitters. There is no medicine so safe
so pure, and so perfect a Blood Purifier.
Electric Bitters will cure Dyspepsia, Dia
betes and all Diseases of the Kidneys. In
yaluable in pffections of Stomach and Liver,
and overcome all Urinary Difficulties.

Messrs. Editors— Through your columns,
allow me to respond to the foregoing expres
sions of the opinions and desire of the legal
fraternity. They spontaneous sig
nature of every member of the Bar within
this Circuit except one, whose absence from
the State, I am assured, alone caused his
failure to sign. A considerable number of
prominent lawyers, residing near and prac
tici-ng within the circuit, have udded their
names.
I wish to say that I am profoundly grate
ful to each and all of the signors, for their
generous and flattering expressions concern
ing me. I take this opportunity of adding
that the cares and labors of my judicial'ser
vice have been greatly lightened by the uni
form courtesy and kindness of the entire j
Bar towards the Bench nnd towaids each
other. To be thus assured of their personal
friendship and confidence, and of their en
lightened approval of my official conduct is
an invaluable rewnrd.
In accordance with the unanimous desire
expressed by my professional brethren, my
name will, Providence permitting, be sub
mitted to the Genera! Assembly for rc elec
tion. Should I hold the office. It will be my
constant aim to merit, as far as in me lies,
the high encomiums wbictythey have been
pleased to bestow upon mix
Yours, RespecttVlly,

An Artesian Burst.
The following dispatch has been going
the rounds, but it is more than likely that
the whole story is a canard:
Chicago, September 1.--A dispatch
was received at the city hall this afternoon
from the mayor of Beile Plains, lowa, !
which stated that an artesian well, G in
ches in diameter, burst when a depth of
ISO feet had been reached in boring and
instantly a volume of water was forced j
into the air to a distance of several bun- ,
dred feet. This gradually increased iu
size and volume until a stream of water
fully 1G inches in diameter was formed,
and the upward force of this stream is
equal to the power of powder or dyna
mite.
WATER IN nUGK VOLUMES
is spouting high in the air and the supply
seems inexhaustible. Two gigantic riv
ers have been formed by this phenomenal
water burst, which are running through
the town at the rate of twelve miles an 1
hour and carrying everything before them, j
Houses and lives are threatened by this
peculiar freak of nature aud citizens arc
appalled at their impending danger, which,
at present they are powerless to overcome,
finding it impossible to divert this damag
ing flood. An attempt was made to in
sert sixteen inch boiler iron tubes into
the well, but these were instantly blown
out and forced high into the air. Find
ing this plan useless, the terrified people
attempted to fill up the aperture through
which this terrible geyser was spouting
its deluge. Fifteen carloads of stone
were emptied into the well, but these
were forced upward as though propelled
by the
FORCE OF GIANT POWDER.
Hags of saud were then quickly con
structed and cast into the well, but these
too were hurled into the air. The Chica
go and Northwestern railroad was called
upon for assistance and instantly sent an
alarm gang of ten to the rescue. The
bridge gang of the county was also called
upon, but up to this evening no abate- 1
meut in the flow of water was perceptible
and the rushing rivers formed by it were
washing the channel it had made deeper
and wider, while the basin formed by this
immense volume of water was spreading
over tho low lands iu the vicinity. The
mayor of Hello i’laios in his last extrem
ity, telegraphed to Chicago for the best
engineers that could be secured to come
immediately and use their skill aud ener
gy in attempting to stop this
PERILOUS CONDITION OF AFFAIRS.
City Engineer Arlingstoll, to whom the
matter was referred, at once started out to
find an engineer who would supply the
demand, and succeeded in inducing Engin
eer Morgan to undertake the mission.
Messrs. Arlingstoll and Morgan are, how
ever, both of the opinion that but little,
if anything, can be done to stop the flow
of water, but that it may be possiblo to
direct the rivers into a less dangerous di
rection and confine them to the'r chan
nels. Mr. Morgan left for Hello Plains
to-night, and if more assistance is neces
sary, Mr. Arlingstoll will send all that is
needed. This is regarded as one of the
most phenomenal freaks of nature which
has yet been known, and the threatened
danger to the people and property of
Beile Plains demands instant and ener
getic efforts to stop the ruinous deluge of
wetcr.
The editor of the Corsicana, Texas, Ob
server, Mr. G. P. Miller, had a severe attack
of iheinatism in Ins left knee, which became
so swollen and painful that be could not
walk up the stairs. He writes that after a
few applications of St. Jacobs Oil, the pain
entirely disappeared, and the knee assumed
its normal proportions.
At a time of great excitement in this
country growing, out of our political re
lations with France and England, a man
in Vermont named his daughter ‘‘Embar
go. ” It was suggested that the name
might have been given ironically,for when
read backward it expresses more than a f
mere willingness to he taken.

Prohibition in Atlanta.
The Sparta Ishmaeltte of last week
gives the Conservative Citizens’ Club of
■ Atlanta the following '“bite to chaw,”
which is about the way things look to all
careful observers outside of the Gate City:
One of two things is so: Either there
has been a great deal of lying done, in
the last few years, about the solid founda
: tions on which Atlanta’s growth and proa
| perity rests, or else the everlasting howl
I that the city has been ruined by the law
; abolishing the bar-room evil is the worst
1 sort of wiud, expended in the worst pos
, Bible causes.
j If beer kegs and whisky barrels consti
i tuted the foundation on which that city’s
business interests were built up, then it
was false to say that thero was anything
solid in its present or hopeful in its fu
ture.
If, on the other hand, there be any truth
in the claim that the city is teeming with
a sturdy, energetic, industrious people,
that it is the center of a growing trade,
that it is constantly putting its hands to
new enterprises of material development,
j and that its moral progress keeps pace
j with its material advancement, the howl
ers should be remanded so far to the rear
that their discordant notes will not be
able to reach the cars of the advancing
column.
Our credulity is not equal to the strain
of believing that a city of founderics and
factories, of schools and colleges, of
churches and charitable institutions, of
mammoth mercantile establishments, and
live, progressive journals, is threatened
with moral and material desolation simply
because the average red-nosed patriot
cannot lay the dust in his sepulchral throat
three or thirty times a day, with bar-roem
fluids. It is not hard to believe that the
old guzzler whose hands are shaky, whose
feet ere shambling, whose head feels moun
tainous without and cavernous within,
whose throat is as drv as the dust of forty
generations of Pharaohs, should think that
not only Atlanta but also the whole pro
hibition earth outside of it are parched
and withered and desolate because he finds
it hard work to wet his arid wastes with
firewater, but it isn’t worth the while for
him to ask a less distempered being than
himself to believe it. The red-eyed pat
riot of the dusty throat and par-boiled
stomach will please pass on. lie cannot
find a sympathising or believing audience
here.
•• l "
sttlntl Your Own Raslnefif.
Nine-tenths of all that goes wrong in
this world is because some one does not
mind his business. When a terrible
accident occurs, the first cry is that the
means of prevention were not sufficient.
Everybody declares we must have a new
patent fire escape, an automatic engine
switch, or a high proof non-combustible
sort of lamp oil. But a little investiga
, tion will usually show that all the con
trivances were on hand, and in good
order; the real trouble was somebody
didn’t mind his business.
The engineer of the mill, at Roches
ter, X. Y., thought the engine wool l
stand a higher pressure than the safety
valve indicated, so he tied a few bricks
to the valve to hold it down; result;
four workingmen killed, a number
wounded, and the mill blown to pieces.
The best ventilated mine in Califor
nia was tamed into a death-trap for
half a hundred miners, because one of
the*number entered with a lighted lamp
the gallery he had been warned against.
Nobody survives to explain the
explosion of the dynamite cartridge
factory in Pennsylvania, but as that
type of disaster is almost always due to
heedlessness, it is probable that this
instance is not an exception to the
rule.
Polly’s Sense.
Here is a true parrot story. A lady liv
ing in Colorado has a very clever parrot;
but, like clever babies, itcan rarely be made
to “show off” at the desired time. The
owner of tho parrot ono afternoon gave a
tna party to a dozen or more ladies, and
Miss Polly positively declined assisting in
the entertainment of the guests.
Not ono word would she say, hut kept up
a eonst.mt snarling and snapping that was
most inhospitable, even disgraceful.
While at the tea taole the ladies dropped
into the feminine habit of all talking at tho
same time. This so disgusted Polly thatsho
finally condescended to speak, and in her
angriest tone she rneeringly shrieked:
“Ya, ya, ya! All talk at oncei Gabble,
gabble’ gabble!”
Excitement in Texas.
Great excitement has been caused in the
' vicinity of Paris, Tex., by the remarkable
recovery of Mr. J. K. Oorlev, who was so
l.elp’ese he could not turn iu bed, or raise
i his head ; everybody said he was dying of
| Oonsumptii n. A trial bottle of Dr. King’s
New Discovery vas sent him. Finding re
lief, he bought a large bottle and a box of
i Dr. King’s New Life Pills; by the time ho
j had taken two boxes of Pills and two bottles
of the Discovery, he was Welland had gain-
Icd in flesh thirty-six pounds. Trial Bottles
