From ona of those hardworlc- 4.an4. sunken eyed clerks who bad stood for years behind tbe counrer of a dry goods and furnishing store, waiting cn fac tious customers in the close and fetid air. comes tbe story that once late in a sultry August af ternoon, when nearly overcome with languor and fatigue, a lady came in and asked to see his wraps, of which tbe concern car ried a large stock; she looked at each one as it was spread before her, but neitber by word or sign gave indication of whether they suited, until after hour's work in displaying the entire stock, the clerk inform.n her he had no more. "Well," she said "I don't know that it makes much difference; it is for a corpe, If the utterances of the party press, and the divergence opinion among leading demo crats be accepted, a paralel case is presented, and it wont make much difference what kind o: plank the party platform is made of "it's for a corpse." And isn't a pity that the prin ciples and ascendency of the Jeffersonian, Jacks'nian, and true democracy the bulwark of human litvrty in all republi can governments, snouia oe brought into disrepute by the machine office holding sheep in wolves clothing, who haye stol on the name and disregarded the baptismal vows, to their own disgrace and the country's ruin The democratic doctrine has been taught us ' like the cate chism. from Toutb up, and our faith in it has boen implicit The creed is all right, but the iniquities practiced under it name by the present adminis tration, would long ago have raised riot and blood shed among any other people claim Ing to be free. That they are about to step down and out is ascertain as the "handwriting on the wall' a retribution for broken pledges and plighted faith which for all time has been as nnchanecable as the laws the Modes and Persians. Making Brisk. There is no more trite or true adage than that history repeats tself. The present administra. Hon is following the samo line of conduct towards its oppress. ed people thatPharoah practiced upon the persecuted Iprauites. When Moses ccmplained to him of the bard labor his people mere subjected to in r making brick without proper renumera- tion, the king got wroth, and instead of grantiug their re quest, doubled their labor by requiring them to make the brick without straw. .. So it'is with our rufcrs and aw makers too ay. a great wail : has gone up f rorn the masses of this country, whose cboes of misery,- wafted ' from the snow capped mountains of the &rreat north westfrom the azy lagoous and pebly Bhores of our southern coast, are re verberated night and day throughout every nook and cor' ner of the capital at Washing". ton. But, "the powers that be" have hardened their hearts- deadened their hearing, and pay no attention to the 'still mall voice" that might save the country from misery and themselves from infamy. Our cry for help has made them mad. They have farther reduced the circulation and per. etuated the slavery of our selves and our children by more bonds mortgages upon proper ty and our liberty made to make more brick and furnish our own straw without renu raeration for either brick or straw. It takes no Joseph to interpret their end, nor the time when an avenging nemesis will even up with them. Tha Cubans Fight Havana, via Key West, Fia., April 11. Tbe insurgent forces operating in many parts of the have been aggressive the last week. Half a dozen towns in Havana prcvince alone have been attacked. The troops invariably remain cooped up in forts, allowing the full swing. All available Span ish troops- are stationed on tro- cha betweeu Maril and Majnna to prevent the return of Maceo to Havana. A score of small parties of in surgents united with La Cret's column and others from the,. eost have gathered on the Ha vana side of the line with the apparent intention of aiding Maceo to cross. The Spaniards are satisfied Maceo is doomed The Cubans say he can cross when he pleases. Is republican circles the fight waxes warm between the would be governors, Dockery and Bus sell, and their pin money U be ing disbursed. These gentle men are probably allowing their vaulting ambition to over leap itselef. The party has not yet written Col. Jim lioyas epitaph, and we suppose he wil not easily be side tracked. Tbey 6hold also remember tiemani festo of the iopulist people that they were going to bave the eovernor.6hip, and that Mai. W. A. Guthrie is still liv ing in Durham. The Washington Times want ing seme information about the conduct of an insane asylum there, had one of its staff, Miss Wilber, do the crazy act and get sent there as an inmate in order to write the thing up. We are glad to say the Herald is not reduced to such measures to fill its fpace. Secritary Carlisle, Cleve land, Wall Strict & Co., want more gold. They are not alone in their wants. Thousands of other people want more gold, but they hate realized these fellows have scooped it' alb in, and they will be satisfied with silver, greenbacks -or anything that will buy bread or pay for labor.

There is an outer man thai people can bee; there is an inner man that no hu man eye can see. The outer man may be hurt, wounded, marred, even destroyed, while the Inner man remains untouch d, unharmedlmmortal, St. Paul puts it thus: "Though our outward man is decaying, yet our jnward mania re oewed day by day." He is referring to his own sufferings as s Christian. His body was hurt by scourging, by stou- cs, by exposure. It was worn by oil, and by endurance of hunirer, ot lurdHhip. Hut these things which st arred his body, leaving marks upon t, making it prematurely old, lias had no effect on the inner man. llisrtal lile was not wounded by persecution. It even frrew in strength and beauty as the outer man decked. , . - There is a quenchless life within our Weaving life. Tha t beating , h.:ai-t, the breathing lunirs, the wonderful mechanism of the body, do not make up the real life. There is something in 8 which thinks, feels, imagines, wills. choobes end loves. The poet lies de;d. His hands will write nn more.: But it was not the poet's body that gave to he world the wonderful thoughts which have so wrought themselves into the world's life. The hand now folded liared the lines, but the marvelous power which inspired the thoughts in the lines was not inane hand. ih hand will soon molder in the dust, bit the poet is immortal. The outward man has perished, but tbe inner life i beyond the reach of decay, safe in its Immortality. The inner spiritual life of a Christian is not subject -o the ehanges that coins upon his outer life. The body tuffera, but if one is living in fellowship with Christ, one's spiritual life is untouched by physical sufferings. The norma) Christian life is one of constant, up cheeked, uninterrupted progress. Un kindly conditions do not stunt it. Mi fortunes do not mar it The inner growth of a Christiaa should be continuous. The renewal is said' to be "day iy day." No day should be without its lU.e. We should count the day lost which records no victory over some fault or secret sin. do new gain in self-discipline, in the culture of the spirit, no enlargement in the power of serving, no added feature of likeness to the Master. The inward man is renewed day by day." This does not mean that ail days are dates in every spiritual history which are memoraoie urever tor men- special advance days when decisive battles re fought, when faults are discovered and conquered, when new visions of Christ are granted, when the heart re ceives a new accession of Divine grace. when one is led into a new field of service, wnen a new iriena comes into tbe life, when one takes new responsi bilities or enters into sew relations. Then there are days in every life when" there would seem to be no piritual advancement We all have Z . tnatTr7.uVdYyoUy.,.rr:S Ke Su''ot rforPMLtostrgg!. ith temptation. The inner man would appear to be crippled and hurt In such experiences as these, and tbe days would seem to be idle ana use tea, without profit or progress.
