Howdy, "Arnobl." I'm quite well, thank you. But I'm a little bit anxious about you this grippy weather. "We must keep cool, you knovr. Par's danger in tho air. You have made yourself out euch an ancient .ort of a fellow. If it wasn't for that I verily would believe I had fallen in love with you. Girls like athletic, 60 they eay, and you 6eem to be tho boss foot-ball kicker. I am tolerably young myj-e'f, but hope to be old and wise some day, and I know you don't think my literary criticism much. Still I can't help but judge your word to the contrary that from your writings you must be younger ,han youclaita. There is an absence sage-like ring in your writings, which I have been educated to expect some way and Eomebow in aire Pardon me for giving ycu a subject, I will bo more careful in the future. But realy I thought you Lad a eijrn out for subjects to write upon. How was I to know when it read that way in goose latin. I did not say anything about lioe that I .'emeruoer. We have of his works' and I :u( f-s that I have read them all. is a pool tory tc Her and I haven't got beyond a book for the btory'a sake yet. I don't thir.k that any of tho very rreat minks of the l3y r.re awarding him a high round on the ladder of fame or opening a place in tin ir list of classics for him. So I keep quiet ami don't get provoked Dntil thera is fcomething to get provoked ovtr. As for ancient history, an assertion that tlawa only exist in tho brain is only an assertion not proof. Flaws are f!aws wherever they may be and when I have, according to a book, tho chronological history of that book in my head and I lind that book telling of events which did not happen until 300 to 0X) years after that author was dead, I certainly in my own brain have incontestable and reasonable proof that the person Baid to have written it never did bo, and also eomething etae which you or anybody else over an Arabic or Chinese book (riven to you for your judgment would concede from good evidence the book itself not to have been written until more than the time named after. I may be ignorant and rever expect to aspire to even the lower round of literature but there is one thing; "Arnold Bur," I make no nesrtion I cannot brine forth proof for of my own brain and reading, and sensible proof has never been brought against what little I have ailirined on these paes. Try to conform, as you will once in a while, "A. B.," you do hit the truth and hit it hard. You got your pronouns wonderfully mixed, and you might be surprised to find that you were all in tho dark as regards the gtnder of those two pronouns that you thought you so rightfully used. Thouffh you may be a little o:F then, you were right when you said I would not take any one's part for the asking. I do mighty little extra work in these days but what I nemand pay fcr. Of course" some might think 5 cents or a dime email wages, but that would be entirely between inyeelf and my employer. There is no trades union over this matter, ko I will not be boycotted if I do work chap. The postmaster, well, you know Uncle Sam, will not let bis stamps go out "on tick." His is a strictly cash basis. So I run r.o bill. I think the postmaster likes me for the way he smiles when I come in. Jly literary productions may be at a discount with publishers and readers, but I help make his living; to I am of iorne account. See? Look here, my dear, you must let "Little Quaker" and "Calico jiiil" alone, and it w as I that said it. Wait until somebody treads on the tail of your coat before you lay about you so vigorously. "Little Quaker" and his girl fell in the creek. Of course, anyone outrht to know what be meant. And as for "Calico Bill," he is youmj and must yet learn the true and Che.-iterGeHian way of proposing. Where must he practice but on opportunities given him? One would think irom your boasted age and much experience you would criticise learnedly instead of ambiguously. (Whoa! thar, bur words.) Don't toll Lira off to Chili, and perhaps cut ebort a useful career, Stay at home, although I can not see where anybody is setting up to be a great writer on this page, unless it is yourse:f. There is plenty of room for us all, even if we do class the writings of great authors with the writings of little ones and then forget the names of the writers themselves. There is nothing like keeping tbeee things in our minds in order, you know. A person ehould be able at least to classify right without taking the trouble to be a walking catalogue. If you want an office just bid your time and wait. Spencer and several of his colleagues are getting old; their chairs will soon be to fill. There's your chance. Don't throw It away over a few Chilians. Mr poetry, yes, I did, by accident, statable on a rhyme. You are not well enough versed, I find In literary knowledge to send me of! on any wild goose chase ,to find markets for Children Cry for

Animal Ailments. For over 50 years Gombault's Caustic Balsam has been a standard application for all ailments of animals, without a successful rival.

my poetry. I will wait until "Trixy," grows np and eeo what she thinks over the matter. Ta ta. "Evening Star." FROM ''MAUD MAPLE." Soma Kind UTorrla and 31ac?gea to Several Member. Dear Brothers and Sisters Many are the pood thoughts you are giving forth that proclaim the sentiments of our motto, which must and dea vitalize all living truth, ilany are the seeds of truth you are sowing that will not fall by the wayside, but find lodgment in the hearts conviction of many who are trying to solve life's problem, feel that it is almost a failure; and to them be the means of a higher realization of life's truest, purest realities. I cannot epeak of all theso but only touch upon a few. What a grand sentiment expressed by"Wyandotte Dewdrop," who says : "Business or occupation is not the most important factor in life, but how wo conduct that business or occupation," etc., and ehe admonishes to true honesty. She also nays: "lie yourselves and your noble aspiration; it is your lifo you must live and not any one else's;" and also: "Be true to yourselves and you cannot ba false to any one," O, tho urcnd verity of these words! Yet behind which ko many ambush for seltish purpost e. We should question ourselves carefully when that thought presents itself, and see who in truth this self is to whom we must tirst b true. Shall we not eay it is our conviction of right? Our highest conception and realization of truth? In reality it is that "God-like" spark in our eouls that our observing brother, "llawkeye," speaks of, and to which, if we are true, we are true also to God and our feliow-man, as his offspring. To love our neighbor as one's self is to love this divine image in thorn as we love this our real eeif also, and ab ove all else to desire the revealing of this true self in every one. Love is the fulfilling of the law of life, and if what we do for another is not done because we lovo to, and because we love them, then we might as well fold our hands, for our labor cannot truly bless them or ourselves. And when we speak, if our words have not the soul-stirring quality of love we accomplish, no lasting good. I hope all were as deeply impressed with the spirit of truth expressed in "Hawkey eV letter on;"the realities of life and living" as I. It thrilled me through and through and my heart sang for joy at the touch of euch inspiring words of lovo and trust born of implicit faith in God. May we all speedily come to lind these priceless gems of truth that have sank so deeply into Iiis heart and life through, perhapB, a longer and more varied experience than most ol us have had. True, we may ail learn to stand serenely amid ail the vicissitudes of life, knowing that all will work together for good to thera that serve tho jrood ouly and that whatsoever of good that we have earned, whatsoever is truly ours must in time come to us. Then let us be careful of our sowing that the seeds be honor, love and charity. To thoso who feel burdened, anxious and discouraged with their efforts i l life, let me 6av, dear heart, silently lay it all down for one moment and repeat over and over the following poem by John Burroughs until your soul is llooded with courage and peace and rest: Srene, I fold my ban It anl wait. Nor caro for wini, or tMe, or ea; I me no iure Vaiu.-l timo or fato, For In! my owu shall comu to ma. I ptsy my ha-ta, I malt delays, tor vrhat arails thix ca.-r pace? I stand a in it th' eternal way, And what is mice shall kuow my fact. What matter if I stand alone? I wait with joy the coming years; My henrt ciin.l reap where it has sown, Arid gather up its fruit of tears. Th waters know their own and draw Tho brook that pring on yonder light; So flows the good with equal law L'oto tho soul of puro delight. The itars come nizhtly to the stj , Tbe tidal wave to tUe sea ; Vnr time, nor space, nor drep, nor high, Can keep my own away from tu j. To brother "Comet" and sister "Eureka" I tender heartfelt sympathy in this their trial of bereavement, yet in which is mingled their firm hope of the spiritual life and happiness. Indeed it is as we thus look beyond material sense to spiritual realties that we find comfort and peace. Yours, for love and truth, "Maid Maple." wealth ths goddsss. Honey All. Powerful Would Liko nd "Fairy Dreamer" n rocknlfu!. II. L. C. People To keep my pen from rusting, and for the edification of our Howard critic?, I will dip this instrument that is mizhtier than tho ßword deep into the poke juice bottle and let you scan the trail it makes on this fair paper. Do we boast of this nineteenth century; of our power, of our greatness? Aye, some fools do. and vet what is it that rules this era of vaunted supremacy? What is it that conquers love, honor, place, aud even religion? It is money! Wealth is the goddess w hom we all adore. We dedicato our existence to her dazzling reign. Friends are forsaken, peace destroyed and honor trampled in the mire that we may bow in worship to this idol of dollars and dimes. Love is a passion of strength and power, but it fades from view or takes a back seat when Mammon approaches Truly, tho dollar is ization. Unbounded mizhty in our civilwealth can accoinplish anything that pertains to this ter restrial ephere. It cheats the people and elects presidents; it zives the murderer liberty and the thief freedom; it lionizes its possessor while it grinds down the poor. And yet I would thit my purse were well weighted with this evil commodity and then I would ne'er have occasion to hate my loving creditors. Teachers, don't you think it would be a good idea to organize organize to banish the so-called teachers, whoso only interest in the school is their salary. How many obtain license and a situation to teach who poshes neither tho morals, knowledge or fitness to enter the school room as instructors? "Frank," can't you get that company story started? Am sorry your baby wasn't twins. "Mars," give us a little thunder, please, and "Advance." tell us why some people "stare" like "idiots." Let "Randolph" rise and give us a sample of "wit and wisdom." "Fairy Dbeaaier." A Prämie to Call Agnln. Dear II. L.- C. Friends It has been a long time since I have asked room on the page. 7ot, however, bacause I have lost all interest in the club, but because I have been very busy. When I stop and think Pitcher's CastorlQj

how quickly tbe last year has eped away, then I realize what a bleasiug it is to be busy. How time must drag on lazy and indolent hands. I left my native state, Ohio, seven years ago and came to Tennessee to try and matte my way in the world. Only last Saturday my father died, and being so far away I did not get to go and Bee him in his last sickness. We must be busy if we would enjoy life and be of any use in the world. I expect to resume my duty toward the paga now and will try and send in a letter soon of greater length than this. Success to the club. "Jay Mac." Medina, Tenn., Feb. 23. VISITING IN MISSOURI.

"Aranmore" Away from Home and What lie Thinks. Dear Fp.iexds In glancing over files of The Sextixel I find that I havn't attended roll-call eince iov. 11. Ami at fault in this matter? I hope not. "Adverse" winds are powerful factors in shapinar the course of human events, and when sickness comes our thoughts are turned into channels that dismiss for the time being all worldly pleasures. At present I am a sojourner in Bates county, Missouri; am recovering from an attack of malarial pneumonia. I left my old home in Illinois last Thanksgiving day. My admiration for this beautiful country exceeds the mental picture I had drawn from hearsay. A Btrange land it is. Turn which way you will, if there is a spark of love in your heart for the beautiful you will see something to admire. Previous to my illness I was fortunate in seeing a lare part of this county, so I thought I would send a pen picture of it to the II. L. C. ; but I am too weak for that just now, and, after thinking the matter over, I have concluded to send the letter to the local paper at my old home, because I don't think such letters are appreciated or in accord with the ethical notions of most of the writers. Terhaps they are risht, too. It seems that after two years' absence Brother "Randolph" comes forward with an astounding discovery. He says if such letters as some write find room on the page often they will be a detriment to our societv, and then savs am I puttine this too etrong? So, "Randolph," I don't think you are puttine; it stronz enough. If you are correct in your conjecture why don't you make a manly statement and give the names of those writers so that they may have a chance to reform or defend their t-tyle of writing for the paze? What better guarantee can we have than the editor's judgment in selecting letters for the page? "Tycho," the rolling of frozen peas and vinegar pellets on the roof of a glass shanty mean3 no more than mother's promise to lick Jonny after breakfast for slamming the door in the cat's face. I'm yours truly. Come to the page again. Should like to spealc to "Incog" and ".Marie." But I am too weak to object to personals being frowned at. Will say though that there is another i lea that ouhtto have its hair pulled if not jerked out. Are we to become in eilect a society of graven images only to be azed at for want of courage to nse a little common eenee? "Aranmore." Crescent Hill, Bates county, Missouri, Feb. 1U A VISION. "Leollne Lester" Falle Asleep and Relate tb Experience of it Dream. It was evening a warm, sunny evening of September. I chanced to stroll be neath a tree hard by my old home and feeling rather weary I Etretched myself upon nature's carpet and feel asleop. It was then I walked in a new yet in distinct light, where I saw (or seemed to see) our future destinv. It was trulv "a dream of darknees," yet not all a dream. Stars ceased to shine, rivers ceased to move and Dian faded as a beam at even tide. Hope hung despondent on the wings of fate. Life was not life! Ihe race fell where it stood, nor dreamed a dream of happiness. Beasts slunk away and hid themselves amid the hills of woe. I seemed to look upon the darkened ekv, and saw in the misty distance a comet come to view. Nearer, yes, and nearer to the zenith of the skies it drew, shedding a glare of light upon the mundaneephere. The race gazed on it in a dream, and stood fearing its presence as if it were a sword hung over a sinful world. It passed away. Oblivion claimed it as her own. No more will it appear to sear the life around. No more will it assail, for the clouded past has hid k e er from view. Scarcely had the dread passed on its ter rorizing tour, when stole into my dream a mirage grim and 6Pokeof grim deception, and 1 sought to llee forever from its pres ence grim. It came and went as driftwood in a brook, no more to wrong the heart with dark deceivings. A cloud pnsHed from my sleeping eves and I beheldVenus, thegodde?s of beauty, dressing the evening star. They shone together in the ekiesand people wondered long. Their beams had mingled, as it were, in Btrange conjunction, but it passed as if it were a dream of pleasant sunshine Night came and went. The stars sank 'neath the evening sky, where ever hid tne hearts ot an the wanderers will ne er bo troubled more. Ihe dream has passed.- The autumnal sun shines not upon the fading landscape. Ihe winter grim is passing, and soon to view will come sweet spring to cheer our hearts. The green spring poet comes to to cheer the world, while by tho lake tho dude sings sweetest lays uuto the rippling waters. The bleat of lambs, the low of June, the clarion of the chanticleer from some far barnyard will be heard, while from the back yard the fragrance of sprouting catnip and the gentle smell of burning shoes will greet our nostrils. "Leoline Lester.' II Found Not nil Double. Tab, mine loCni friendt Ike, Dinks a iwed-hert he'd like, fto he fix himself op in der etyle, Und he goes oat a goatln', ill lore glose a sportin'.

And sraiünj; lips and tranquil eyes. Hide hearts that tremble, throb and ache, As silently they griere and break JVneath their ms.sk of graceful lies, We might not deem ourselves so wise To measure griefs by tears and slhs: f Some haity judgments mightnot wake, . But spare for hid Jea sorrow's take, Our Irlend behind his gay difgulse. If we could know how in the minea Of tendernesj the pur gold shines, We might not feel the smarting ttinga, The longed-for luessage often brings From heart that 'ronnd our own entwines; We'd rea 1 between the formal lines And caralefs wordt, unerring signs Of love that upward, onward springs To meet its owi. on steadfast w;ng. And commune bold on sacred shrines. - MHÜiKKT Hoimfs. Ve all love to see a beautiful old gen tlewoman or gentleman beautiful not alone in the possession of refined features and silvery white hair, but that inherent beauty of the soul which finds expression in the gentleness of manner, the lovintr cadence of the sott voice and the light of peace in the iast fadinc eyes. Yet at what great cost that pentleness which we 6o admire may have been acquired! Innumerable crosses, manifold cares, frequent disarpointmenis and con stant Belf-sacrifice, all borne with patient resignation to the Divine will. To those favored from birth with a sweet disposition the effort to retain it is not bo :roat; but a person possessing a quick and highly-nervous temperament must necessarily make a tjreat and continuous effort if they would become sweet and gentle when life's Bun shall have passed its zenith and is slowly sinking in the horizon. Perfection in anything is never attained by one effort, unless the latter be made continuous by perseverance. And if we really desire to be, in our old age, the embodiment of all that we admire in others it is necessary for us to learn in youth the lessons of patience and reconciliation. Lven childhood has its tnais and disaDpointments, which are as great, proportionately, as those of marihood and womanhood. And, in whatever spirit we receive the lesser trials, whether in a spirit of rebellion or submission, eo are we likely to meet the greater ones which succeed each other so rapidly all through life. The flowers do not burst forth into b'oom in one hour or one day. Their progress is gradual. Nurtured by the dews of heaven and warmed into life by its sunshine, the petals one by one unfold, perfect in all their changes and perfect in maturity. Such ehould be our lives; and may that Divine power which nurtures all the flowers, and cauees them to hurst forth into bloom, cuide and guard our lives on earth until the immortal soul shall break its fetters and blossom forth into the light of eternal lile and love everlastins. Kind greetings to all from "Jessie Clyde." New York, Feb. 27. The Worst Tlilutf on Enrth. Dear II. I C. Friends It has been a lonj time eince I visited your page, but I will sit myself down, this dark and muddy day, and write a few words on "Intemperance" Intemperance is tho worst thing, really, on earth. There are more people go into the saloon than into the church. When the young boys go into the saloon they are KOing into the worst pen tbey can get into ; and any man or woman that will go into tho saloon, drink, play pool and cards is doing the devil's works. And, let roe tell you, there is a man not far from hero who is drinking on his fifth barrel of cider this winter. J u.-t only think. It is enough to kill any human being. But I will tell you he is about done drinking. I think if the people would make way with all the saloons there would not be so many poor and hungry people. 13ut I don't ever expect to see the day that there will not be any whisky drank. "Cinderella." A Doctor Wanted. Is there a physician among our members or readers who would like a good location to practice his profession? If there is such a one who is sober and industrious I think I can tell him of a good location. Please write to the page, giving name and address, and I will inform him of the location. "Lee."

The examination I have been able to give it is suflicient to justify me in exrreesin the opinion that it contains a great amount cf historical information presented to the reader in a most pleasant way. I do not see why it should not prove itself a very useful book. Yours truly. What Senator Voorhees Saya. United States Senate, ) "Washington, 1. C, Oct. 30. J Indianapolis Sentinel Company: Gentlemen I am just In receipt of the "History of Indiana" which has just been given to the public by Mrs. Thomas A. Hendricks. I havo looked through it with some care, and say sincerely that I am delighted with it. It ought to go in the hands of all our people. The young will receive instruction from it, and those advanced in life will be pleased by the recollections it awakens. The people ot Indiana I think are not sufficiently aware of the real growth and greatnesa of their state. It requires, in fact, but little study to ascertain, and not much effort to show, that Indiana according to area is the greatest and most productive state in the Union, and possessed of greater and more exten sive educational advantages than any other commonwealth of equal population in the world. These facts ehould be taught everywhere among our people. I fully believe in the doctrine of stato pride, especially when there is a solid foundation for it. Such a publication as the one now before me is well calculated to inspire the young and old alike of Indiana with just and laudable sentiments of pride and gratitude. It is indeed a most charming book. The likenesses, taken altogether, are the best I have ever seen in engravings of their character. Flease accept my sincere thanks and believe me always very faithfully yours, What Senator Turple Snja. Indianapolis, Nov. 7. S. E. Morss, Esq., Indianapolis, Ind : JIy Beau Sip.
