mother could see no prosperous
future for the boatman, and one
afternoon, after Mr. Vander¬
bilt made a visit, there was a
stormy scene between the moth¬
er and daughter, for the com
rnodcre had made an impression,
The mother’s firmness prevailed
and she forced Sally to give u
her boatman lover.
( f The next day when Cornel¬
ius called the door was slam¬

most cutting style : ‘No such
poor trash as Corneel Vander¬
bilt will ever darken my door

The,administration seems to
be working mighty hard to
make itself unpopular with the
government employes in Wash¬
ington . In the good old times,
under republican administra¬
tions, about all that the clerks
had to do was to keep from fall¬
ing over each other during work
hours—about six hours a day.
And they had every holiday in
the catalogue, and on an aver¬
age of about one half-holiday a
week. Under Cleveland, how¬
ever, they have been required
to work eight hours a day, and
Candlemas, St. Patrick’s day,
Bunker Hill day, Old Christmas,
and a few other holidays have
been cut out. It, used to be
said that all a young man need¬
ed to fill a government clerkship
in .'Washington was a full dress
suit and an unlimited amount
of cheek. That time is past —at
least so long as the democrats
aye in control of affairs.—Ex.
Prof. Totten, the scTeri'l'feKwho
figures out the time of the sec¬
ond advent, the ending of the
world and other similarly ab¬
struse problems from data
which he gets from the stars,
says the President’s message on
the Venezuelan business was a
mistake, and that the people
should disavow it at once. The
professor has evidently been
consulting the stars again —

We do not beiieve that an¬
other war scare would cause
the fool speculators in Great
Britain to sacrifice .their Amer¬
ican securities. In fact we
have seen no signs of the “great
sacrifice” advertised the other

tion dealers were the only per
sons that had the hysterics on
either side.—Constitution.
Two years ago Dr. W. L
Coleman broke all previous rc
cords by raising and killing a
hog that weighed 635 pounds
net and a smaller one that
weighed aa9 pounds. Just the
year ter killed previous Mr. that Tom weighed parpen- 609
one
pounds. Dr Coleman said then
that he would beat that, and
sure enough he did. This year
Dr. Coleman raised two other
hogs but with no view of beat¬
ing his former record or that of
any one else iu particular, but
when lie killed them Wednesday
last last he lie iou.ia found they oiiey weighed «45
and o37 pounds, net respective
ly, which we doubt if any one
in the county will beat this
year with hogs no older than
were his 21 months
GhePbkee Advance.
Moral Cowardice.
The n: st pififul paradox in
nature is physical bravery al¬
lied with moral cowardice. A
man may be as brave as a lion
when it comes to a personal eit
counter, where mere bruit force
is all that is required, but if lie
has not the moral courage to
do right for the sake of right,
he is a detestable travesty on
manhood. No man need be
afraid to do right. He may
avoid the consequences of a
fisticuff and still be braver than
Ca'sar.
It takes a fine sense of cour¬
age and a pure heart to be able
to acknowledge an error and
endeavor to repair a wrong and
the man vvho can do it deserves
all praise from his felfowmen
and God will not withhold from
him his just reward, If we were
true to our nobler and better in¬
stincts temptations would not
find us so vulnerable to every
assault, but too often v e are led
astray by our selfish motives.
The thing to cultivate is not
so much an iron muscle, but a
heart of steele, expansive to
every noble impulse, yet suffi¬
cient to resist every temptation.
The least sin possible is the hope
of mankind. Absence of sin is
a dream of angels. Let us,
therefore, among our resolu¬
tions for the new year, resolve,
over and above all, to try to be
true to our own better instincts
and to deal justly with our fel¬
low men and to reverence and
serve God as becomes do, His
creatures. —Rome Tribune.

crimes and casualty ,, during - .

our nation and all good citizens
should league together at once
in organizing and inaugurating
measures to prevent such recur¬
rences in the future, fhe issue
is on us and should be met with
calm decision and detennina
tion.
It will help us, too, to see
what the new year lias brought
and how we are to use its gifts.
We are all older, and ought to
be wiser. We have better
facilities for understanding and
applying tiie gospel. We ought
to be able to exemplify and
illustrate that gospel better
than ever before We ought to
love each other more, and show
that love by removing, as far a8
possible, all obstacles from each
other's paths, and by exercis ki„dj

affectionate, ’ tolerant spirit to

Keep Good Company.
We get the follow ing whole
some advice to young men from
the Home Tribune:
“It is a bat! policy for a
man^i begin to neglect bis so
cial CL ut.ies. It is worth much i
a than appears on the. Mir
Dace for a young nian to
1,1 touch and sympathy with dm
very best people in his sphere
of life. This does not necessi
tate a reckless expenditure
money, nor does if mean that
he should squander all ids earn¬
ings in riotous living
But he can devote a reasona
ble portion of his time and his
income to social enjoyments
without making any undue
sacrifice. All the education in
the world will not make a gen¬
tleman. A man must first be
bom with the instincts of true
gentility and then acquire pol¬
ish by the constant attention of
social converse and communi¬
cation.
The young man who neglects
these things is unjust to him¬
self au4 unjust to society at
large. Life means something
else besides mere slavish drudg¬
ery. What shall it profit a man
if he gain the whole world and
fail to have a good time? I 11
such a case the very essence of
life is wasted. Better to grow
(lowers than weeds. In fertile
soil you are bound to grow one
or the other.
Keep good company. Enter
into the social enjoyments of
your set with a rational relish.
If you have any talent for en
tertaming, utilize it. That is
one of the many ways of mak¬
ing other people happy. If
* you can sing or dance, why not

The estimate is ventured, how¬
