He Is Eighty Years Old and Will Have His Funeral Preached June 17. Cclumbus, 0., June 3. —Lorenzo Dow, of Harrisonville, will during the present month, enjoy a privi lege accorded to but few. “Uncle Dow,’’ as he is familiarly called, will be an interested spectator at his own funeral. The day has al ready been set by the old man, a minister- hired, coffin purchased and a monument erected. The plans for this unusual proceeding can best be explained in “Uncle Dow’s” own words. “I shall be SO years old on June 17,” said he. “I long ago made up mind that if a man was ever going to amount to anything ho would show it by the time he was 80. And I decided that when I got to my 80th birthday I would have a funeral sermon preached. The ministers could toil tho people what I had accomplished then just about as well as they could when I died, for my life work would bo pretty near done. All I do after lam 80 can bo put in a mighty small postscript anyhow. I’ll throw that in free. “Tho way a funeral sermon us ually goes, a man’s neighbors have all the fun, and he lies there like a hump on a log and don’t know anything about it. It don’t do him any good to have the minister tell the people what a grand man he was and sum up Ins good deeds. “My funeral will bo different. I shall be there on the front seat, the coffin will be brought in just as if I were in it, and all the neigh bors will be there . Its the only funeral jubilee they will have over me for when I die my remains are to be put into my coffin, forwarded to Cincinnati and cremated. Tho ashes are to be put in a place I have ready beside my monument and sealed over with a glass top. “The next Sunday after Juno 17 is Juno 21. I picked that date because people can turn out better on Sunday, and because that is the longest day in the year. You see I want to give tho minister all the chance ho needs for his oration. It will be at Fallen Timber church and Rev. Forest Coons of Pride, Pike county, Ohio will do the preaching. “1 am not bavin g this done to be queer, or for notoriety. The Bible says that the days of man are three score and ten, and I have lived long enough to consider my self dead.” Largo crowds from surrounding towns are already arranging to at tend the funeral service. If the church will not hold tho mourners i which is quite likely, tho sermon will be preached in a grove near by. The rest of the day will then bo devoted to a barbecue, which the corpse will provide and over which he will preside. Hood’s Pills are the best family | cathartic and liver medicine.

Near the town of Ashmore, in Illinois, some twenty years ago, , there lived a man by the name of r Ashmore, Sammy Ashmore, He . belonged to an old, much respec j ted family that had formed quite a settlement in the neighborhood, ■ and gave name to the little rail . road town. Most of the Ashmore’s were members of the Cumberland Presbyterian church, but Sammy, , so far as religion was concerned, ■ was the “black sheep” of the flock. , Not only was he not a member of any church, but he was an avowed infidel of the Bob Ingersoll typo. “The Bible contradicted itself, it contained obscene language, not fit to be used in a decent family; it told many incredible “fish sto ics,’ ” etc., etc. Sammy was glib , of tongue, had a good common , school education, had read consid i erable in a miscellaneous way, and had considerable influence over a certain class of young men, who j prided themselves on their indo- • pondence of thought, which usual- • ly means that they are independent of reason, logic and common sense. At the time my story begins . Sammy had married a Miss Horn, a lovely girl and a member of the ( Christian church. Her father, I think, was a nephew of Peter Horn of Kentucky, a well known preach er of the Christian church. She was a member of the church at the time Sammy married her, and some objections were made by her parents to the match on account of his infidelity. But love is blind they say. “And be ye not une qually yoked together with unbe lievers,” is still but a religious fa ble, without meaning or applica tion with many, as I suppose it was with Sister Horn. They were married, and the old, old experi ment of two trying to walk togeth er while not agreed, was tried again with the usual result—discord. His wife wanted to ignore religious questions in domestic circles, but Sammy would not ignore, religion was the question constantly before the “house.” As the yeas and nays were equal, and as neither would consent to a horizantal reduction, of course there was an accumula tion of surplus trouble in the fam ily treasury. At first he only ob jected to her inviting the preachers home with her, then the members, at last she was positively forbidden to attend her meetings. Behold in this the boasted free dom of infidelity! What his poor wife was made to suffer in mind and consciecne, while yielding inch by inch to his unreasonable and imperious demands, God alone can tell. Time passed, and at last Sammy was taken sick —consump- tion it proved to be. Os course he I was doomed. He sent for me; yes i a preacher ! The class he had ma ligned and despised while all was i well. But now the rains descend ed, and the floods came, and the winds beat upon his house, ami it fell. The scene is before me now, 'although twenty years have passed | away. The weeping wife holding the baby to its father for his last kiss; the request in a failing voice for baptism, alas too late to be complied with, for he had but a few minutes of life. The request to train up their only child in the Christian faith, and then last of hll, the confession of the Savior. And so he died with his hand in mine. I felt the last twitchings of life, the feeble vibrations of the chords as they were severed by the relentless hand of death. Poor Sam, peace to thy dust. A negation would excuse from duty, but it proved a poor prepara : tion for death. It seemed a staff strong and good in life and health. It proved worse than a broken reed in sickness and death, for it pierced not the hand, but the soul of him who leaned upon it. David Campbell, Christian Advocate. Do not despair because you have tried many medicines and have j failed to receive benefit.

Knowing that . his wants had been supplied by a neighbor, Mr. Glenn refused the request and the negro then cursed . him and threatened to assault him. ■ Mr. Glenn then ordered him off the premises, wnen the negro drew , a knife and made a thrust which . Glenn dodged and seizing an iron bar knocked the negro senseless. He lay groaning for sometime and . finally crawled into the woods in . time to avoid a severe handling by members of the community. If it required an annual outlay of SIOO to insure a family against any serious cor sequences from an attack of bowel complaint during . the year there are many who would feel it their duty to pay it; that they could not afford to risk their lives, and Hose of their family for such an amount.

Politics lu Walker. Politics in Walker is getting lively. Editor Napier of the Mes senger and F . W. Copeland, attor ney, are the only candidates for representative. It is generally conceded that Hon. Gordon Lee will be elected to the senate if ho wants to go. There are six candidates for Or dinary to-wit: Jno. L. Rowland, Judge J. B. Hill, W. A. Patterson, Reese Jones and C. R. Jones. Who will be the successful man time a 'one can tell. Hugh Sims and Wm Conley are the only candidates for sheriff, so far. There are throe candidates for Fax Receiver, six for Tax Collec tor and five for Treasurer. Possibly what follows is not ex actly connected with politics, but it gets there just the same. It is from John Limber in the Messen ger: “The most effective way I have tried to exterminate bed hugs from a bedstead is to thoroughly saturate the inhabited parts with coal oil, then touch a lighted match to the oily parts, and the “weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth” is not a circumstance to the pop ping and cracking of chinches that will bo in that bedstead. A fire insurance policy on the furniture should be obtained before touching the match.” Slander. The tongue of slander is never tired. In one way or another it manages to keep itself in constant employment. Sometimes it dips honey, and sometimes gall. It is bitter now then sweet. It insinu ates or assails directly, according to the circumstances. It will hide a curse under a smooth word, and administer poison in the phrase of love. Like death, it “loves a shin ing mark.” And it is never so a vailable and eloquent as when it can blight the hopes of the noble minded, soil the reputation of the pure, and break down or destroy the character of the brave and strong. What pleasure man or woman can find in wo have never been able to see. And yet there is pleasure in it to mul titudes, or they would not betake themselves to it. Some passion of soul and body must be gratified by it. But no soul in high estate can take delight in it. It indicates I ipse, tendency toward chaos, ut ter depravity. It proves that somewhere in the soul there is weakness, waste, evil nature. Ed ucation and refinement are no proof against it. They often serve only to polish the slanderous ton gue, increase its tact, and give it suppleness and strategy.—Mariet ta Journal. Good Health And a good appetite go hand in hand.
