First, 1 want to thank '"Marin" for ordering Tin: Sentinel Vfcforo my bubscription expired. AYith dues paid I suppose I'm a lawful member oi the club for another year. Yes; I n at liom; but as tho fox s.aid, after eating the rooster, "I'm not butisiled yet." Tho Mice dear old rot to mo ha l iet many cliarmd that excited and citing to my heart tre I viewed the beautiful jrairies- of Fates county, Missouri. Oh, chy are we not contented with wellenough let alone, like mother F.ve. I pufg we'll go cn biting and tasting temptations, until the end is reached. Altogether I was quite f-ick for three weeks. I do not regret my visit at all, for my health ia almost perfect now. "What more could one ask for but the pleasure of repeating the visit? Which I hope to do ere the autumn frost nips the BluiTtfard in his bed. "Sunset," repentance seeks foralvener3. Therefore, I shall try to tell something about the country I hare been visiting. Ua my way out I eaw nothing of town or country until we struck the Missouri river about daylight. The Missouri river is a grand river when seen at its bent, but it was po low at that time that it reminded one at first einht of a dry land snake in search of water. The Wabanh runs clofe to the river for miles, giving cue a pleasing view of the broad valleys, and low rounded hil'.s on each eide. Arriving on time at Kansas City I paw nothing, only in sieht of the L'nion depot. K.very one who has been there knows what hat part of the city presents. The buildic'i appear to be trying to get on top of each other in order to pave room for other building. The elevated cars came down just before we rolled out south on the Lexington Southern. Arriving at Adrian at "aoon sutlering severely with headache, I was glad to leave the cars and receive a kindly welcome. It did not take long to drive out three miles north of town, where 'n a few weeks I suddenly grew sick. The urea of Fates county is 73 square miles. Its surface is formed of a'reably undulating plains, terminating in the wet part in a north and scuta range of mounds in dillerent parts of the county. Six miles east of llutler there are several of eighty to two hundred fett higti. From these lor six miles northwest one would pas Jow mounds in a continuous range extending six miles further. We then reach a broad valley 1 ftet lower than the mounds and over f-ix miles wide. You will, by looking over the state statistics, tee that Fates is one of the wealthiest counties in the state, all owing to her rich, black smI and cheap fuel. Jhe furnishes more coal than any other county in the state, Le.-ddes having an abundant eupply cf timber. Land can be obtained here at from cö to föO per acre, owing to the location and improvement. I .and rents for either grain or money, (irain rent usually runs from onethird to two-hfths, while money rent is from $2.50 to $1 per acre. There is no prettier town in western Missouri than Futler, the county seat of Fates county. It is located near the center of the county on a sightly prairie. The county (surrounding it is gently rolling, and may be leen for many miles in every direction. Away in the distance seven or eight miles loutbward of the town can be discovered the dark outlines of timber which skirts 'wonrn A GUINEA A BOX." t"9 VV w -sV; (Tastolcss-EflfoctualJ BILIOUS and NERVOUS i FOR All. : DISORDERS. f tiwh aa Hnilirkt tlrinf anil fa la in lha i Stomach.

Butler has splendid water work.-, also I believe the perond city in the state that introduced electric lights. The four corners on the cupola of the court house are supplied with burners, which can bo eeen in the night for twenty miles in every direction. Homo township extends to the state-line ford. Spv mound can be found here. Its summit reachea an altitude of about one hundred feet, from which can be seen the city of Futler, I'leasant gap and other points, ranginar at a distance of twelve or twenty miles. Northwest of the mound, three-quarters of a mile, is a region of country which is noted in the history of Kansas; not only because John Frown of Harper's Ferry notoriety once lived there, but because it is in the immediate vicinity of what is known as the "Hamilton Massacre," which occurred a few years before the late civil war of 1n1. "Spy Mound," during the residence of John Frown in the neighborhood, wa3 a kind of watchtower, to which he and his friends often went in the days of border ruilianism to watch the coming of the foe. "Solicitor," I'm glad that you came to the front lately w ith some very wholesome advice. As for niys-lf I see nothing w rong in u;dng personals on th rage, provided they are not used to excels. Fut whenever wo become too eeltish to indulge in them properly, then look out for "Ida S.'s" experience in a former hoti-)-hol J, to be repeated in the H. I C. Her letter expresses my views exactly. "William Feynolds," yes, it was an idea concerning per-onals that I said ought to have its hair jerked out. Fut somehow a word ßüpped in that befogged the idea. I should like to hear from "Incog." "Howard," "Marie" and a host of other writers that need spurring up. "Aunt Folly," I'm afraid topympathio with you in your attlictions too poon, fur I haven't forgotten the time you lifted me out of the grapevine Kwing by the top of the hair. Fesi ies it looks piispirious to t-ee you limpingaround with a bottle cf rheumatism in your pocket. And another thine that puzzles mo half to death is to hour a woman accuse ft man about being tickl ph about his age. 'ur friendship certainly didn't begin at the time you lifted me from the swing. I fear I've worried tue patience of everybody. "Aka.vmoke." iliinvis Home, April "LONE 1KAMF" TALKS.

Mrs. (irundy is the stumbling block in the way of many of us. A decetit respect for public opinion is well enoueh, but a respect for one's own eenpe of riht is tne safest guide. That is at best a Uy wheel. This is both governor and pilot. It is popular sin and not the unpopular kind that does tho most harm. The devil with horns and hoops, never lacks for foes, it is when he comes in the guie of a lamb he needs watching. A golden coat isn't half as good a disguise either as a cloak of piety. "Calico Fid" thinks he sees him in disguise at tho card table and in tho ball room. Fut my experience is, when he is there, his horns and hoofs can easily bo sen. Fut "C. F.." some churches do not forbid card playing or even dancing. What will you do with their members? You talk bravely about it, not mattering what our friends pav about us if we are right. You certainly have a higher standard of virtue than church canons. Can't you give us a better reason? You assume that cards and dancing are wrong. I will grant it, but I have known some who do not think so. Can you give your assumption. "Now, honest injun don't you care just alittle whether your friends say you are rijht or condemn your act, when you know you are right. Can you leave the procession just when your conscience bids you, with no anxiety as to the opinion of your friend- who walk on. If you can, shake! "Jeveoeck." I think your eight-inch tile will carrv more water under like circumstances than 4 by 4 inch, owing both to the friction of the tilo and tho jogs catted by the tile not being exactly in line and other defect which I think are greater in the I small tdo than in the one larg but the eight-inch tile would have to carry Ou from the 4'a and what it collects also. I think your hired hand could not have collected his waes by law under the case, and the farmer simply gave him the amount, perhaps, to pave trouble and keep peace. "Hawkeye," I don't like your idea of a good " book. If I read a book and it doesn't stir me up, I think it a failure. If an author has no evil to fight what is the nee of hi writing. What to you may bo the printed page when biggots rage may be to me noble words of needed truth. It is sometime better not to aend peace on earth, but a sword. But always let all thing be for honor, love and charity. "Lone Tb am p." Higdon, April 30. INT&MPKRANCE. 'IlomoM Produces Kwru Statlatles of the Liquor Traffic. Kind II. L. Fkiends The mightiest obstacle to the progress of religion in this day is strong drink, whether you call it ale, beer, wine, whisky, or anything that poisons the brain and makes a man unnatural. Intemperance, like treason, ought to be odious in the land, and there is very close similarity between the two. Horn injures no people who are total abstainers. No drunkard ever came through the gateway of total abstinence. Absolute security to those who "touch not, taste not, handle not." The increase in the sale of beer in a year is increasing to the amount of 3,000.000 barrels. There were 120,000(00 gallons of whisky manufactured in the United States during the last year.

The liquor tratlic csts the people of this country oyer a billion dollars a year, which largely comes out of tho pocket of the workingmen. Kvery dollar of the billion goes to support the most gigantic monopoly which ever cursed a nation. This billion of dollars if eoent for food and clothing and other necessaries of lifo would da away with three-fourths oi tho poverty, crime and misery which now desolate the land. It is the ruin of many a happy family, and if it is not ruled out of the United States will rule her in a short time. "Fomko." Wintersvüle, Ind., April 30. THE CHARIVARI.

IS SPRING BEAUTIFUL? A LITTLE PHILOSOPHY UPON THE SUBJECT.

riow Sind, Duet, Cold Winde, and Piles ef rtubblah Announce tho Coming of tho Heaann. "Spriug, beautiful eprinR!" How beautiful it is! Iu the country there i mud, rain, stagnant poo! whore uieltin snow bar accumulated, cold winds, a chilly atmosphere in fact, everything that is disagreeable and injurious to life. In tho city there are accumulation of the winter ia tho streets, iu tho back yard and even in the parks. They are exhalin poisons very minute, and these poisons are hlowD by the raw wiuda mto the home of the millionaire, into the hovel of the f quitter, into the nostrils ofereryoue. A prominent doctor says: "The surest way of enmmunic&tini! diaenae ia by the dust which is blown broadcast and inhaled by every one, whether be ventures upon the street or remaioe at home." Spring ia not beautiful until it has fully come. Fpruijr is dangerous, spring kills more people than any other seusoD, spring causes more people to feel miserable than ail other senaona combined. What do people do? Seek to endure it and tone up the syMeiu. This ia all very well, very philosophical, but how foolishly people act when they seek to tone up the system. They take spring mediane, blood punfier, nervines, and scores of other uostrums which force tho hubit rather than etliciency causes them to do. It is all absurd. Why not strike at the root of the tree? Why not realize that all these dincreeiil!e and daujerous tLiuca of aprinif would und could be counteracted if the two great Organa of the body were in proper condition. These two great organs are th kidneys and liver, and the kidneys and liver can positively be kept in perfect condition by the use of just the rieht tlniii:. Head what Dr. A. C. Clark, a well-kuowa New York phyU cmn says : "I have never known a onse of spring debil ity, spring lever, or any of Lie troubles which arise during this season which has not Löf n promptly and permanently cured by the use of Warner's afe Cure. Its power at this time of year is wonderful. I have seen women, run down by care and overwork, men whose vitality was exhausted, and even puny children reStored to perfect health through ltatise." Mrs. M. M. Simonon of Bueklay, Mo., says: "My daughter, who, wai ones tho perfection of health and happiness, was for years a til ic ted with kidney and liver disease, complicated with scrofula, the hip joint being ailected. the became so bad that the doctors wanted to unjoin t the hip. 1 would not consent to it, and began administering a remedy which I had beard much about, and I a.n happy to say alio is now cured, well and healthy, by tho use of Warner's .vate Cure." Is it not plain to yoa that, being in perfect condition, the kidney s and liver will throw oil the keeda of disease wliicu the wind and the dut bring into the system, will counteract the reeking danger caused by the ah heap, the rubbish pile, the sjlimy mud. or which tho cold wiud.s, the raw atmosphere produce' Suppose you think this over carefully and see it we are not correct, see if we are not right when we niuke the assertion that "epriug is the most dangerous season of the year," rather than the most "beautiful season of the year." See if your owu feelings do not prove to you that your system is weak ned and must li.ive help; see if it does not present itself clearly to you that the only way to help your system is by strengthening trie great orgaus which uphold it. Are we right? If so, follow our suu'gestions. my deepest sympathy. Would we wish to call them hack from that happy, jovlul world wheucu they have, llown, and where they are free from everv pain, horrow and care? Thev have only pae?ed on h little while before.

North Vernon, In J., April CARD PI.AYINO. 'Inez ' Thinks I ro.reslve Kuchre Parties Aro Not KlchU Dkar HmvAKii Bkotheils and Sifters I have just returned from a lecture by the great temperance apostle. Murphy. I think he painted intemperance in all its horrors better than I ever heard it before and the misery, forrovr and disgrace it has wrought. ltit I am not g;oing to giye you a temperance lecture. I came to talk about progressive euchre parties. Although they are quite a fashionablo entertain in en t of today, aro they a harmless pastime? If people entertain company before little children in such a manner what need they expect of them in future yearp. If you buy a deck of cards and t-it down and play with a boy just in the beginning of life need you be surprised to hear of him' grimbiing after awhiie? He will think if it was no harm to play cards at home purely it can be no harm to play curds away from home, and, like all other habits of that class, if mill practiced it can surely bring nothing but sorrow and disgrace. Card playing is only a stopping stone to other amusements of the class, and should not be practiced by those that are placed as an example for others, especially for children. Vet Home of the leading church members play card., as they eay, for pastime. Would it not be much better to read some srood, instructive book? A bov of about fourteen years of age was Feen, not long ago, in one of our neighboring towns at the depot plavint: cards with strangers, w hen his lather happened to go in. The son was chastised lor it. He paid, "Oh, papa, we play cards at borne," and he had not only played cards but had bet on. the game. Put still this is tho results of progressive euchre parties. Make home pleasant for the boys, have plenty of good reading material and music, but leave the cards alone. Ho not touch them and they will hold no interest for you. "Play cards at first ju.-t for fun then it will be for money, and ihen home and the friends you onco lovo.i and honored will hold no interest for you compared with the gambling den. How many havo been ruined through the apparently harmless card playing, and yet ladies will go to euchre parties and play with, perhaps, a husband, lover or brother. Do you think it is right to eneourage hiirh amusement? If I had a hrotht-r 1 would try to convince him that card playing was wrong and not to attend euchre parties. "Speed Well."

J'rcary old winter with its dprk days and spells of the nines is gone at last. Have the blues? To be t-ure I have 'em occasionally. I sometimes wonder if thoso people whoso mental barometer never rises and falls are ever o.uite so happy as we who sometimes go down into dark valleys, to be lifted up again to the joys of sunlit upper rays. Put, then, don't have the blues any oftener than you can help. Strive to keep on those sweet, breezy upper levels if possible, but don't feel discouraged and think yourself so very dillerent from other people if vou eometimes fail. How beautiful the springtime. 'Tis truly delightful to watch all things awakening from their winter's sleep. The long rows oi w illows are budding in silver.

We have in this plaee three churches Cumberland presbyterian, raethodist and baptist, Tho people generally aro very relik'iouR. I had an argument with a inethodibt brother lately on "how hall we appear." Thin h my belief on the subject : The spirit which God cive-? us does not occupy any fpaco in our body. When wo die our euint oea to (iod. who pave it. If I look in a mirror and eeo your likeness (you ßtandinp before it) I know you are there. Your likenef a in the 19 does not occupy any space. Therefore, I eay we will not have any material body in heaven, but our spirits will be visible to tho spiritual eye and we will move about in the eternal kingdom quicker than the lightning's flash, and know each other as wo are known and glority (iod in the highest. Christ, in His second coining, will be in a epiritual body, visible to me in Tennes.-ee and to you in Indiana at tho same time if you should be alive. I will leave this question her till I hear from some of you on this subject. I want to find more time this summer to write and work for the club. It is t pood caue and we must try and strenpthen it all we can. "i'ollock," you gave us a srood letter last week. I.aree with 4 B!uo Kycd Charley" in rezard to club stationery. Love to all. Medina, Tenn., April Jay Mac Memories. Only a bit of lace, Fr tho fa led ribhoo bound. Telling naught of the tweet, pure fsce, No brssth, no smile, no sound. Only a bit ol lace That the breath of the morning stirs, Whixpering naught of the tender giaos, haucht of tho loving words. Tears, oh! cad heart, ao weak Of its blasted trength so proud, With pat:onate cry and j'UUul moan, Making its cry aloud. Jewels wheso prisoned rays Flah bark tho sparkling light.

While aileep amid the shadows. As it wearied of bis play,' aj the precious bud of promise That had brightened all the day. Oh! the hourt of weary walling For the aouu.l of baby feet, For the cooing and the laughter, Like the rippling waters sweet. Not a murmuring thought. O Father, Surely Thou catut claim Thy own, Hut the weak feet of my nestling Trvadeth now Thy court alone. Do bis baby lips e'er qulno With the grief but half expressed And the timid eyes snek T&lnly Furths mother's sheltering breast? All In vnin our bitter pleading, SUM or amind return no more Till we hear the billows breaking Orer on the golden shore. And the sweet face of my darling bmllcs upon me evermore. Mks. r- r. Smith. Tlia l'rtlnc. Po yon remember Isit evening, Miss Fauny, When I kissed you and started to go? To the bead of the stairway you l?d ine, And the reat you surely must know. Did I stumble and fall down the s'a'.rway. Or did pspa help me to desoend? 'Twaa a kindness I'm sure I will ne'er forget. Until the pain leaves me, my friend. You said your papa was afflicted with gout, At-d had no strength in his leg. Yoa basely deceived 'ueto late I found out lie was as strong as a mulo ia his pigs. You said your papa wore slippers, Which you know had occasioned disputeSg But last riUht, unlucky for mo, he Wore his heavy old doubie-aoled hoots.
