Republican l&ot at Senator
Senrtor Henry L Dawes was one of the
speakers at a Republican rally held recent
ly in llostcn. The manner in which he
was received f bowed that he had lost his
hold on the 11 -publicans in this part of the
State. No sooner had he begun his ad
dress than the entire audience began to
yawn and scrape their feet. This was
followed by the ringing ot chestnut bells,
hooting and cheering for Tohn D. Long,
the opponent of Mr. Dawes in the soiuing
Seuatenai contest. Tho meeting became
so boistrous that Gov7ltobiD.son was com
pelled to inform the audience' that he Was
presiding over the audience that he was
presiding over the meeting and that they
could preside at Some other meeting. He
was obliged to come to the rescue of the
Senator no less than three times. The af
fair is town talk aud ex-Gov. Long's friends
refer to it as a very significant straw.

It is never wise to live in thest. Tlicro
are ues to hs made of our past which are
helpful and which brine; blessings. We
should remember our past lost condition,
to keep us humble and faiMtfnl. We should
remember past failures and and mistakes,
that wc may not repeat them. We should
remember past mercies, that we may have
confidence in new needs or trials in tho fu
ture. We should remember past comforts
that there may be stars in or sky when
ni"ht comes nsniin. But while there are
"these true uxes of memory we .should guard
against liviug in the past.' We should
draw out our life's inspirations not from
memory but from hope; not from what is
t gone, but from what is yet to come. Por-
getting the things which are behind wo
should reach forth unto those things which
are? before'.
Ta!. a ingle point at present: Wc
should "rget past sorrows. There nra
many peopw who live all the while in the
shadows of th ir past griefs and looses.
Yet nothing couU bo more unwholesome.
What could we say of the man who should
build a house for Ii'mself out of black
stones and paint all tho walls black curtains
over the dark stained wit" dows and put
black carpets on every floor and festoon the
chambers with funeral crape arid have sad
pictures on the wall and sad bookv on the
shelves and should have no plants glowing
and no flowers blooming anywhere about
us home? Yet that is the way some peo
ple live. Tiny build houses for their soul
like that. They have memories like slaves
that let all sweet and joyoas things tnrough J
and ret-iu only the sad and bitt-r things.
They forget every pleasant thing, but the
painful events aud occurrences they al
ways remember. They can tell you trou
bles by the hour 1 roubles they had many
years ago. 'I hey kevp their old wounds
unhealed ia th ir hearts. They have pho
tographs of all their sorrows arid calami
ties, aad all of their lost joy-', but none of
their glad things do theykeein mind.
The result u that living in these perpetual
looms and shadows all the brit 'itness
passes out of their lives and they evev lose
the pow-r of seeing j-.yous and lov 'y
things.
The lesson i.s that we ought to- let tho ,
dead past bury the dead, while we go onto
new dmies and seek new joys. We can
not get back what we have l.xt by wip
ing over the g.-ave where it i buried. Be
sides, sadtiess doe not give any Lies.-ing.
It makes no heart softer, it brings out no
feature of Cnrist-likeness; it only embitters
our present joys and stunts the growth of j
all beautiful tilings in our soul. The j
graces of the hen are like flower plants;
thoy will nt bloom in the darkness, but
must have sunshiue.
We should forget what we have suffer
ed. The joy set before us should shine
upon onr souls as the sun shines through
the clouds. We should cherish sacredly
and tenderly the memory of onr Christian
dead, but. should think of them as' in the
home of the blessed, safely folded, waiting
'for us. Thus the bright hope ot glory
slfbuld fill us wiili tranquility and healthy
gladness as we move over tho waves of
trial. We should icmembcr that- the bles
ings which have gone away are cot all that
God has for us. This summer's flowers
will all fade by and-by, when winter's cold
breath smites them. We shall not be able
to find one of theai in the fields and gar
dens daring the 1 i;g, dreary Months. Yet
we shall know all the while that God has
other fl iwer preparing, just as fragrant
and beautiful as those which have perished.
Spring will come again and under its warm
breath the earth will be covered once more
with rich flora I beauty as lovely a that
which perished in the autumn. So the joys
that have fadud from ourhotnas and hearts
are not the only joys; God has oUir in
store, just as rich and as fragraat as those
we have lost, and in due time ho will give
us these. Then in heaven he will bestow
unspeakable joys, which never- shall be
taken away. Ve should therefore forget
the sort- w in things 5f the p 1st an 1 re.aoh
forth tor the j iys that wut on the-earth,
and to the eternal blessings that wait in
heaven. In our darkest night we should
look up and forget the darkness a we gaz
y. pon the bright stars, "vhieh twinkle so
brightly and so beautifully above us.
IieUy Miss Lamar.
Among" the "''cibinet rosebuds'" who will
blossom out into society here this winter
the most attractive by far is Mis Jennie
Lamar, the eighteen -year-old daughter of
the Secretary of the Interior. Sin? is al
ready known in society, since she has been
for a year the chief social support of 'her
widower father. She is a typical South
ern beauty. 7er form is somewhat tall,
lithe and willowy, her movements particu
larly graceful, and her manner marked by
the parliculiar high culture observable in
blus blooded Southern ladies. She has an
oval face, almost perfect in contour, olive
complexion, a pretty rosebud mouth, and
velvety brown eyes, which are wonderfully
expressive. For the first time since Mr.
Lamar came to Washington he has taken
a whole house and proposes to entertain
this winter on a scale only below that of
Secretary Whitney. Washington Letter to
