wake partisan political distinctions,
yet upon careful study one will clearly
se that it is non-partisan, and further,
will be impressed with the truth of its
promises, and the ability of the com

with only a few di.-senting votes, and

TRUSTING IN THE DARK.
A mother took her IwbV ii her arms
to curry her up stairs te fed. Through
aJoDg hall', and up the circular stair?,
without an? lightahe wended her way.
The baby clung closely.
"Darkee, Darkee," she lisped, "baby

ttBaby neednY be afraid, mother
knows the way,1 mamma said cheer
fully, hugging the litthf one still more
closely; and the baby was quiet; there
was no cry or alarm.
Wbeu the door was opened into the
light, pleasant bedroom, the little
oue clapped her hands with delight.
"Mamma knows the way,M she repeat
ed, "baby jxo more ff raid."
In the, simple:. trust of the! little
child let us ; comtetvlate the dark
cloud before txs. We" would brefer
sunlight, it is true, but if bur Father
sends clouds it is not to alarm us, only
to test our faith. It is that we may
get the sweetness aud comfort and real
joy of trusting. If clouds never shad
ow our wa?, we should Jiever need to
trust, and should' lose one of our high
est sources of enjoyment. To lean on
Jesus singing,
"All the way my Saviour leads me,
What have I to ask beside?"
is far pleasanter, brings deeper, richer
peace to the soul, titan to walk in the

AN IMPATIENT BARBER.
"Hum!" said the irritated barber,
one of the low down loses in the tonso
rial contest. "It's easy enough to
grumble. Didn't I .slice the hair off
your face?'1 What more do you exact
for teii cents?
"The stubble has been removed," re
monstrated the customer, "but with a
large amount of my cuticle."
"Well what of it?" demanded the
barber. "Didn't 1 dab alum on the
gash in your ear?"
"You did," exacting the customer
confessed, "but you cut off the tip of
my nbe."
"Aud I pasted it on with court plas
ter." -
"True enough, but you severed one
of nvy eyebrows-and lost it on the
floor.'
"I
kept the razor out of my eye,
didn't I? '
"You did."
"And only gashed your neck in four
places? '
"Quite right." -
"Well, you ire hard to satisfy. My
advice to you is to grow a Ireard or buy
a safety ray.or,than come around insult-

FROM GOV. CARR'S MESSAGE.
An extra session of Congress will
expedite the work without, hurrying it.
it win secure ample deliberation. It
will prove Democratic good faith and
commend the Democracy anew to pop
ular favor. It will bring relief to the
people many months sooner than would
otherwise be possible. It will gire to
business of every kind the notice it
needs of the changes to be made in
business cosditions.
Year by year the profits of the farm
have been diminishing, until at last
there is no compensation left the hon
est tiller of the soil. Thev cry out
against unjust and unequal taxation
and protest, and, justly so, against any
discrimination. You, gentlemen of
tne uenerai Assembly, have it in your
power to work great good to instil
new hope, new life, into the toiling
masses. While jour deliberations
touching Federal taxation cannot of
course avail much, yet it is your duty
to see mat as nttie tax as possible is

BOY'S COMPOSITION.
G irls are the most unaccountable be
ings in the world except women.
Like fle.iR, when you have tnem they
ain't there. They are as full of the
ole Nick as their skins will hold and
they'd die if they couldn't tormeut
somebody, when they try to be mean
they can, but they ain t as mean as
they let on to be, except sometimes and
then they are meaner. The only way
to get along with a girl when she comes
with her nonsense is to give her tit for
tat and that will fliimux her. when
you get her flumuxed she is as nice an
sassafras tea. A girl can sow more wild
oatsin a day than a boy can in a year.
But 1 like girls first rate and guess all
boys do. F don't care haw mauy tricks
they play on men and they don't eith
er. By and by they will get into the
traces with somebody they like and pull
as steady as an old stage horse, that's
the beauty of them. So let 'em wave
I say, they will pay for it some day,
sewing on buttons and trying to nuke
a decent man of the fallow they have
spliced onto, and ten to one if they don't
get the worst of it.
BEN BUTLER.
Benjamin F. Butler was born in
1818 in New Hampshire. He was the
son of Johu Butler, who served under
Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New
Orleans. He began to practice law in
Massachusetts in 18-10 and rose rapidly.
He was then a staunch Democrat. In
1860 he attended the National Conven
tion at Charleston and votted on every
one of 57 ballot- for Jefferseu Dvh to
be President of the United Suites.
The war breaking out he was made
Major General and his regiments caus
ed the riots in Baltimore in April '01,
as they passed through.
The second ye r of the war he co-operated
with Farragut, and while in
command of New Orleans after his
capture, earned the title of Beast But
ler by reason of his offensiveness. He
also received another tine, opoons.

because it was believed that he carried
of a great deal of treasure.
After other service he led an expe
dition againt Fort Fisher and tried to
destroy it by explo-linn a powder ship
off the bar. He was in Congress from
1800 to 1875, and in 1883 ws elected
Governor of Massachusetts as an inde
pendent and greenbacker. The next
year he ran as Greenbacks canJidite
for President.
Butler was a brilliant man and an
able lawyer, but bold and unscrupu
lous.-

In these days when diseases of the
throat are so universally prevalent and
in so many cases fatal, we feel it our
duty to say a word in behalf of a most
effectual, if not. positive, cure for sore
throat, r or many years past, indeed
we may say for the whole of a life of
more than rorty vears, we have been
subject to a dry, hacking cough, which
is not only distressing to ourselves but
to our friends aud those with whom
we are brought into business contact.
Last fall we were induced to try what
virtue there was in common salt. We

the result was that during the entire

coughs and colds, but the drv, hacking
cough had entirely disappeared.. We
attribute these satisfactory results sole
ly to the use of salt gargle and most
cordially recommend a trial of it to
those f who are subject to disease of the
