AS A. (MAN AND POLITICIAN.
Goebel One of The Most Novel Figures
In Hia State.
Though a Kentucky politician, William
Goebel ia free from many of the charao
t eristics which are commonly attributed
to menof that class.
He does not drink.
Ue does not smoke or oae tobacco in
any form.
Ho does attt play cards far joney.
He ia said to be a woman hater.
Hia moat marked chtaracteraatica are
hia coolness and determination. Oppon
ents have described him aa an iceberg.
While the maaa of pollticiana at gather
iogs m Kentucky bare bean indulging in
fervid oratory and appeals to sentiment,
ha baa sat stall without a trace of emo
tion an hia pale face, coolly calculating
th chance (or getting the most votes.
iBcrn in Sullivan county, PeanaytYamia,
42 yean ago, Goebel when a boy was
taken by hia parents to Oovingtnn, Ky.,
which has been hia home ever since. In
early life, it la said, he waa a bootblack.
After raoeiving a good education through
hia own energies he made the friendship
of Governor John W. Stephenson, who
took the young man into his law office.
Ia few years ha tad shown audi
ability that Governor Stephenson took
him aa a law partner. 'Upon Governor
Stephenson's death (Mr. Goebel waa made
hia executor without bond.
Goebel'a ability aa a lawyer attainted
the attention of John G. Carlisle, and
for several yeara he was the partner of
that great Kentucky lawyer. Twelve
yeara ago he waa elected to the State
Sonata to represent Kenton county. He
has served continuously aa such ever
since, and is now a hold-over Senator.
That is the only public office be has
ever 'held, except that la waa a member
of the Kentucky Constitutional Conven
tion. He waa a candidate for Judge of
the Court of Appeals in the district now
represented by Judge T. H. Paynter, and
H was he who finally threw the nomina
tion to Jodre Paynter.
He baa a law prat ice which, it is said,
nva ken at least 125.000 a year, and by
hard work, economy and the exercise of
hia marked legal ability, he has accumu
lated fortune saM to reach prooaniy a
quarter of a million dollars. Hx-Qov.

THE SPINNING HEEL.
There's sweetness in the perfume, and
there's music in the song,
But sweeter and more precious era the
memoriea that throng.
When dreaming of the past I hear soft,
gentle murmurs sound
Of music that I nsed to love the old-time
spinning wheel.
The humming of the spinning wheel! it
tells of lore snd care
A. mother's kiss, and children's play, and
of a father's prayer
The lullaby so often sung is wafted back
again.
And tenderly, as mother aJwaya sang the
soothing strain:
Sleep, baby, sleep, my darling!
For more than words caa tell
Thy mother lores thee, precious one.
May angels guard thee well I
Sleep, baby, aleepl
The broad, old-fashioned kitchen it was
the happiest spot.
For It waa mother's throne room, and wfli
nerer be forgot.
The cradle In the comer, and the wheal
beside the door.
Just where the rose Tine shadows threw !
upon the sunny floor.
And singing, softly singing, as with gentle ,
step and alow i
She backward moved and forward, spin
ning wool as white as snow.
Then gathered off the fleecy yarn in
skeins upon the Teel,
And once again her song resumed, beside
the spinning wheel:
"Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber,
Holy angela guard thy bed.
Heavenly blessings withmt number
Gently falling round thy head."
All through the cold, dark winter months.
when fields were bleak and drear.
Within 'twas like the summer time, so full
of warmth and cheer.
The evening hour waa merriest of all the
happy day
It seemed as though the spinning wheel
took pleasure in our play;
And when the spinner's task was done,
around her easy chslr
We gathered In a reverent group, and said
our evening prayer.
O! happy are the thoughts that come,
and aweet the Joy I feel,
Whene'er I think of home and of the aid
time spinning wheal.
Now I lay me down ta site?,
OVr me God his watch will kasfv
If I die before daybreak.
