THE MONEYLESS MAN.

Is there no place on the face of the earth Where charity dwelleth, where virtue has birth 2 Where bosoms in mercy aud kindness wiil heave, And the poor a;:d the wretched shafl ask and receive? . . : Is there no place en earth where a knock from the poor ' . 3 Wil bring a kind angel to open the door? P Ah'! search the wide world wherever you can, There is no open door fer the moneyless man.

Go look in the hall, where the chandelier light - Drives off with its eplendor the darkness of night, Where the rich hanging velvet, in shadowy foid, - Sweeps gracefully down with its trimmings of gold And the mirrors of silver take up and renew | | In long lighted vistas the *wildering view; ‘ Go there in your Yatches,'and‘ﬂnd il you ean, A welcoming smile for the moneyless man. =~ Go look in yourchurch at the clond-reaching spire; Which glv;s back to the sun his.same look of red res : i o Where th?arches and columns are gorgeous withn, kLol 20 And the walls seem as pure as a soul withont sin; Go down the long aisle—see the rich and the great In thedpomp aud the pride of their worldly estate, Waik down in your patches, and find if you can, Who opens a pew for the moneyless man'!

Go leok to your J ud;ie in his dark flowing gown, With scales wherein law weigheth quickly down; Where he frowns on the' weak and smiles on the strong. ¥ y j And punishes g‘ght while he justifies wron§; Where jurors their ligs on the Bible have laid, To render a verdict they’ve already made, Go there in the court-room, and find if-you ¢éan, - Any law in the canse of a moneyless man! Zas

Go look in the banks, where Mammon has told His handreds and thousands of silver and gold; Where, safe from the handg of the starving and © poor ; Lies pile upon'pﬂe of the glittering ore; Walk up to the connter—ah, there you may stay ‘Till your limbs grow weary and your Lairs turn : ray - s And yon:‘lfﬁnd at the bank not one of the clan With money lo lend to a mcneyless man !

Then go to your hovel—no raven has fed The wife who has suffered so long for herbread— Kneel down by ber pallet and kiss the death frost From the lips of the angel your poverty lost— Then turn in your agony upward to God, ; And bless %hen it smites you, the chastising red, And you’ll find at the end of your life’s little gpan. There’s a welcome above for the moneyless man!

MR. MERTON’S LESSON.

. T cannot wait any longer. I must have my money, and if you cannot pay I must foreclose the mortgage and sell the place,” said Mr. Merton. ' . “In this case,” said Mr. Bishop, %it will 'of course be sold at a great sacrifice, and after all the struggles I have made, my family will again be homeless. Itis very hard. I only wish you had to earn your money as I do mine, you might then know something of the hard life of a poor man. If you could only in imagination put yourself in my place, I think you would have a littlé mercy on me.” i “It is useless talking; I extended this one year, and I cannot do so any longer,” revlied Mr. Merton, as he turned to his desk and continued writing. dore :

The poor man rose from his seat and walked out of Mr. Merton’s office; his last hope gone. He had just recovered from a fit of illness, which had used up the means with which he had intended, to make the last payment on his house. True, that gentleman had waited one year, when he had failed to meet the demand, owing te illness in *the family, and he had felt very much obliged to him for doing so.-— This year he had been laid up for several months, during which time he could earn nothing, and all his savings were then needed for the support of himself and family. . Again he had failed, and now he would again be homeless, and have to begin the world anew. Had heaven forsaken him and given him over to the tender mercies of the wicked ? _ » :

After he had left the office, Mr. Merton could not drive away from his thoughts the remark to which the pour man in his grief had given utterance: ; “I wish you had fo earn your money as I do mine.” :

In the midst of a row of figures, “Put yourself in my place,” _ir;t‘rude_d_._

Once ‘after it had ecrossed his mind he laid down his pen, saying: “Well, I think I should find it rather hard. 1 have a mind to drop in there this afternoon and see how it fares with his family; that man has aroused my curiosity.” : : About five o’clock he put on a grey wig and some old, cast off clothes, walked to the residence of Mr. Bishop and knocked at the door. Mrs. Bishop, a pale, weary looking woman, opened it; the poor old man requested permission to enter and. rest awhile, saying he was very tired with his long journey for-he had walked many miles thatday.: .. -, & e Mrs. Bishop cordially invited him in, and gave him the best seat the room afforded. = She then. began to make preparations for tea. The old gentleman watched her attentively. He saw there was no elasticity in her step, no hope in her movements; and pity for her began to steal into his heart. When her husband entered, her features relaxed into a smile, and she forced a cheerfulnessinto her mannes The traveler noted it all; and he felt himself forced to admire this woman who could assume a cheerfulness she did not feel for her husband’s sake.— After the table was prepared, there was nothing upon it but bread, butter and tea. - They invited the stranger to eat' with them, saying: “We have not got much to offer you, but a cup of tea will refresh you after your long journey.” e : Sy ' He accepted her hospitality, and as they discussed the frugal meal, he led them without seeming to do so, to talk of their own affairs. g

“I bought this piece of land,” said Mr. Bishop, “at a very low price, and instead of waiting as I ought to have done, until I had saved the money to build, I thought I would borrow two hundred dollars. The interest on the money would not bé nearly so much as the rent I was paying. Idid not think there would be any difficulty in paying back the borrowed money. But the first year my wife and one of my children were ill, and the e‘l?enses left me without the means to phy the debt. Mr. Merton agreed to wait another year, if 1 would pay the interest. I did that. This year I was for seven months unable to work at my trade and earn anything; and of course when pay day comes around and this is very soon, I'shall again be unable to meet the demand.” e ;

~ “But,” said the stranger, “will not Mr. Merton wait another year, if you mak(?a all the circumstancées known to him 9 ‘ k. e

“No, sir,” replied Mr. Bishop. “I saw him this morning, and he said he must have the money, and should be obliged to foreclose the mortgage.” - “He must be very hard-hearted,” replied the traveler. . ° e “Not necessarily so,” said Mr. Bishop. “The fact ts, these rich men know nothing of the struggles of the poor, They are men just likeé the rest of mankind;, and I am sure if they but had the faintest idea of what the poor. have to pass through, their hearts and. their purses would open. . You know l it has passed in a proverb: ‘When a poor man needs assistance, he should -apply to the poor.” The reason: is obvious. The poor only know the curse of poverty. They know how heavily

LIGONIER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1575.

it falls, crushing the spirit out of a man; and to use my favorite expression, they can. at once put themselves in the unfortunate one’s place and appreciate his difficulties, and are therefore always ready to render assistance as far as they are able; and if Mr. Merton had the least idea of what I and my family had to pass through, I think he would be willing to waitseveral years for his money, ‘rather than distress us.” : T e

= With* what emoticn the stranger listened may be imagined. A new world was being opened to him., He was passed through an experience that had never been. his before. Shortly after the conclusion of the meal, he rose to take his leave, thanking :Mr. and Mrs. Bishop for their kind hospi= tality. They invited him to stay all night, telling him he was welcome to what they had. £ | . He thanked them and said: “I will trespass on your Kindness no longer. I think I ean reach the next village before dark, and be so much further on my journey.” - i 5 Mr. Merton did not sleep much that night. He lay awake thinking. He had received a new revelation. The poor had always: been associated in his mind with stupidity and ignorance, and the first poor family he had visited he had found far in advance, in intelligence, sympathy and real politeness, of the exquisite and fashionable butterflies of the day. .The next day a boy called at the cottage and left a package in a large blue envelope, and was addressed to Mr. Bishop. ' : G Mrs. Bishop was very much alarmed when she took it; for large blue envelopes were as§ociated in her mind withlaw and lawyers, and she thought that it boded no good. - She put it away until her husband. came home from his work, when she handed it to him. . e | He opened itinsilence, read its conter}'ts, and said fervently, “Thank heaven!” b L “What is it, John?” inquired his anxious wife. e “Good mnews,” replied John; “such news that I had never hoped for, or even dreamed of.” Che “What is it— what is it? Tell me quick—l want to hear ifit is anything good.” . il :

'“Mr. Merton has canceled the mortgage, released me from debt, both interest and principal, and says any time I need further assistance, if I will let him know I shall have it.”

I am so glad, it puts new life in mwe,” said the now happy wife. “But what can possibly have come over Mr. Merton 2 i 25

“I do not know. It seems strange after the way he talked to me yesterday morning. I will go right over to his offiée and tell him how happy he has made us.” : S

~He found Mr. Merton in his office and expressed his gratitudein glowing terms. Pk ; 32

“What could have induced you,” he asked, “to show us so much kindness?l v 2 L

“I followed your suggestion,” replied Mr. Merton, “and put myself.in your place. I expect it would surprise you very much to learn that the strange traveler to whom vou showed SO ;nuch kindness yesterday was myself.” ‘ CimaE

“Indeed!” exclaimed Mr. Bishop, “can that be true? How did you disguise yourself so well ?” : “T was not.so much disguised after all, but you could not very readily associate Mr. Merton, the lawyer, with a poor - wayfaring man—ha! ha! hal” laughed Mr. Merton. : :

“Well, it is a good joke,” said Mr. Bishop; “good in more sense-than one: 1t has terminated very pleasantly for nell = ! -

“I was surprised,” said Mr. Merton, “at the broad and liberal views you expressed of men and their actions generally. - Isupposed:l had greatly the advantage -over you in means, education and culture; yet how cramped and narrow-minded have been my views beside yours! That wife of yours is an estimable woman, and that boy of yours will be an honor to any man. I tell you, Mr. Bishop, said he, becoming animated, you are rich, rich beyond what money can make you. You have treasures that gold will not buy. ¥ tell you, you owe me no thanks. Somehow, I seem to have lived years since yesterday morning. What I learned at your house is worth more than you owe me, and I am your debtor yet. Hereafter, T shall {ake for my motto: ‘Put yourself in my place,” and try to regulate my actions by it.” ,

A healthy liver secreteseach day about two and'a half pounds of bile, which contains a great amount of waste material taken from the blood. When the liver becomes torpid or congested, it fails to eliminate this vass amount of noxious substance, which; theréfore, remains:to poison the blood and be’conveyed to every part of the system. What must be the condition of the blood when it is receiving and retaining' each day two and a half pounds of poison? . Nature tries to work off this poison through other channels and organs—the Kkidneys, lungs, skin, etc.; but these organs be come overtaxed in performing this labor, in addition to their natural functions, and -cannot long withstand the pressure, but become variously diseasedisr i s

‘The brain, which is the great electrical centre of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the unhealthy blood which passes to it from the heart, and it fails to perform its office healthfully. Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning, which are dullness, headache, incapacity to keep the mind on any subject, impairment of memory, dizzy, sleepy, or mervous feelings, gloomy forebodings and irritability of temper. The blood itself being diseased, as it forms the sweat upon the surface of the skin, is so irritating and poisonous that it produces diseolored brown spots, pimples, bloteches and other eruptions, sores, boils, carbuncles and scrofulous tumors. The stomaech, bowels, and other organs spoken of, cannot escape becoming affected, sooner or later, and costiveness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, -diarrheea, female weakness, and - many other forms of chronic disease, are among the necessary results.

~ THE U. 8. SENATORSHIP. J.E.McDONALD THELUCK Y MAN. Two Members Withdraw from the 23 o : Caucus. : State . INDIANAPOLIS, January 14.— The Democratic nominee is born, and his ‘ga}me is J. E. McDonald. The Demofratic members of the Legislature met ‘in 'caucus in the House to-night at 7 i"cl_ock. The meeting was presided gver by Speaker Turpie, Senator Bell 4acting as Secretary. The roll was ¢alled, and seventy responded to their ‘names, five Representatives and Senators .being absent. - After waiting ‘some time all the members made their ‘appearance but Leeper and Osborne—one a McDonald man, the other a Holman man. While waiting f6r members to come Speaker Turpie nervous1y handled the gavel, and members were assembled in anxious groups, talking in excited whispers. Others were dodging about from group to group, sounding the views of members in the face of battle. The Speaker’s gavel fell; and prefound silence prevailed, T : - Senator Givan moved that the caucus proceed immediately to the nomination of a United States Senator. A motion was made to lay lay the motion on the table. On this Mr, Slater demanded the ayes and nays. | Senator Smith speke in favor of completing the work of making nominations for State officers first. A lively debate ensued. Snappy speeches were made, points of order raised, and things muddled generally. Both the Holman and McDonald men moved cautiously, showing that each party feared t'other was trying to gain some advantage that would decide the result. S

The motion was finally withdrawn, and it was decided to proceed to the nomination of State officers. = Everybody seemed to breathe -easier, now that thé great contest was staved off a little longer. - About two hours were consumed in making the following nominations: Trustee of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, Dr. M, Jameés, of Delaware county; Trustee of the Hospital for the Imsane, Dr. J. T. Richard~ son, of Carroll county; Trustee of the Blind Asylum, Dr. H. B. Passage, of Miami county; Geo. Sanford, of Lake county, Superintendent of the Soldier’s Home. ’ el \ b

At half past nine this work was completed, and Senator Bell moved that the caucus proceed to nominate a candidate for United States Senator, which motion prevailed, and an awful silence followed for a moment, as if each side feared to begin the fight. This was broken by Senator Slater offering for adoption the following resolutions: e :

“1. We are in favor of the redemption of the 5-20 bonds in greenbacks, according to thelawunder which they were issued.

“2, We are in favor of the repeal of the law of March, 1869, which assumed to construe the law so as to make such bonds payable exclusively in gold. 5 v - 43, We are in favor: of the repeal of the National Banking Law, and the substitution of greenbacks for National Bank currency. , “4, We are in favor of a return to specie payment as soon as the business interests of the country will permit.. “5. We are in faver of such legislation fronttime to time as will adjust the volume of currency to the commercial and industrial wants of the countey.l > “Senator Smith moved to lay the resoluzions on the table.: After some debate this motion was withdrawn at the suggestion of Judge Davis, and the resolutions were adopted unanimously. This was & masterly move of the Holman mer and Voorhees’ friends, who, feeling that they could not win, resolved to make MecDonald stand upon the Voorhees platform. . Considerable excitement wuas now manifested, and the Speaker poundeéd his desk vigorously and requested all to keep their seats. Nominations were announced as next in order.— Senator Dykeman nominated J. E. McDonald, of Marion county ; Senator Given nominated Hon. W. S. Holman. Here Reno, member of the House from Owen county, created a sensation by rising and asking permission to withdraw. He said he could not support any man who did not stand upon the Democratic platform, and as it ‘was possible. McDonald xgi‘ght be nominated he wished to withdraw before such action'was had, so he would not be bound by the action of the cau- 1 cus. After some squabbling he withdrew without permission. Mr. Henderson also, withdrew. He did not speak, but.said in private that he could not, as a Democrat, support a man who did not stand on the Democratic platform. ‘ Ry ' Messrs. Collins, McMichael, Johnson of Carroll, and Keightley were appointed tellers. ' The roll was called. and, as each member’s name was announced, he deposited his ballot. The: balloting being completed the tellers began counting the votes, and memJbers anxiously kept tally. -McDonald recorded four votes before Holman received one. It was evident from the first that Joseph was the winner, When he scored 20 Holman had 20, -and when McDonald reached 80 Holmhn was 3till 10 behind. Then he made a spurt of 5, votes, and it began to look as if he might win yet; but from this on MecDonald counted 12 and Holman B—the total standing 42 to 83,.and one for J. D. Williams, Con-‘gressman-elect from the Second Distriets - o e ~ The agony was over, the result was announced ‘and Turpie roared it so loud that the crowd in waiting at the ~door heard the statement, and vesponded: with yell and hurrah. Speeches were made by several, and amoag them Senator Slater, pledging to stand by the caucus nominee.. The nomination was made unanimous on motion: of Judge Dayvis, and the caucus ad-

Taylor shipped -105. car-loads of wheat, and cleared and put under cultivation forty acres of land, during the year 1874. Two hundred and thirty-three tk]?usand eight hundred bushels of wheat were put on the cars for shipment at Lagrange during the year 1874. ‘We presume it would at least average as many dollars in yalpe. .. . .

Lima, Lagrange and: Wolcottville shipped during the year 1874, 420,500 bushels of wheat. =We should judge that about one-half more wheat was raised in the county and sold at White Pigeon, Sturgis, Kendallyille, Ligo-: nier, and other points outside of the county. This would make the surplus wheat put into market during the year about 650,000 bushels. -

Mr. Dickenson felt a slight ailment in his nose on the Saturday previous, but it was unattended with any illness apparently demanding attention until ‘Monday, when a physician was sent for and the ailment discovered to be ‘of an erysipelas eharacter, which soon after extended to the brain, cansing his death Thursday evening. The deceased was in his forty-fourth year, and had spent all except the first five years of his life in the county, and in the neighborhood where he died, about two miles north of Woleettville. He was elected County Commissioner in 11867 and re-elected in 1870, and again in 1872, the people of the county thereby attesting their confidence in his intelligence, honesty and good judgment. In the community where he lived he was esteemed for all these, and also as a kind-hearted reighbor, peaceable and quiet in -all his deportment. - A wife, five children and a large circle of relatives sorely grieve his loss.

(“Was she :gentle 'and kind ?” asked the legal limb, and the re- i ply was in the affirmative, though the witness, still thinking of the lady, look- ‘ ed alittle surprised. “She didn’t kick ?” was the next interrogation; and adecisive “No,” was the answer. “She didn’t rear up or kick over the traees, or put her hind feet through the dashboard, or try to run away, or act ugly, or—" The witness was boiling over with indignation by this time, and interrupted the lawyer with, “Do you mean the horse or the lady ?” “I mean the mare we're talking about,” thunderedsthe counsel. “Oh!” was the response, “I thought you meant the gal” And with this explanation, the pursuit of justice was resumed..

Transformation of Q;ﬁdstone to Mare e R ST

J. Corvin, an engineer residing at Dreésden,: Germany, has invented a method of giving the ordinary sandstone, found in abundance in many I6calities, the exterior appearance of marble. He- accomplishes this by impregnating the well dried stone withsoluble silcia and alumina. The thus prepared ‘sandstone becomes much lighterin color,some kinds being intensely white and tranclucent, while it is capable of the highest polish, equal to that of the finest marble. “He has even succeeded in imitating marbles of every color by adding mineral colors to the liquid 'used for impregnation. The. famous quarries near Pirna, in Saxony, produce a sandstone especially adapted tothis process, and Mr. Corvin. now makes cte'd‘ -stones from this sandstone, adapted to the most elegant architectural structures. The price is considerable below that of marble; and the new material has the important advantage that it is mueh more -fire-proof than marble, which when exposed to the fire, rapidly Rums into quicklime and crumbles to ust.

It is a significant fact that. this mentdl ailmeént ig invariably accompanied by dyspepsia-and nervousress, and the fact that'it readily yields 'to the alterative action iof Hostettet’s Stomach Bitters, which are peculiarly adapted to the eradication of indigestion and nervous debility, proves that it ‘Originates in those complaints.
