The December number of The Republic, a magazine published at Washington, C., contains an interesting article on "The Cuban Problem," in which, after a brief reference to the Virginius affair, the gen eral question of the future of Cuba is dis cussed with great ability. The following report of our commerce with that island will be read with interest : Complete official returns for the first year ending June 30, 1872, the latest yearly returns published, are now before us. During that year the Havana published reports show that of. the 306,220 hogsheads of molasses exported from the island the United States took 296,987 hogsheads, or 97 per cent. of the entire ex port of that article leaving only 9,233 hogs heads, or 3 per cent. for all other purchasers. Of these, Great Britain and her colonies re• ceived 8,139 hogsheads ; north of Europe, 264; and all other port,, 780 hogsheads. Du ring the same period the United States re ceived from Cuba sugar to the amount of 1,041,065 boxes, while Spain received only one-seventh of that amount. Our entire pur chases of goods from Cuba during the year amounted in value to $67,720,205, or 85 per cent. of the entire export of this island ; while at the same time, owing to the restrictions and impediments imposed by Spain, the pur chases of American goods by Cuba amounted in value to only $13,168,958, leaving a bal ante against ns amounting to $54,551,274. The duty on American flour in Cuba, for ex ample, until quite recently, was $lO 50 per barrel, and even now shippers assert that "it is more profitable to send flour from New York to Spain, and thence to Cuba, than to ship it direct from the United States to Hava na. Under unrestricted Cuban ports and . markets the annuai - exchange iu amount of AmericanAqur - for Cuban sugar would be not very far , from equal in value. As it is, we em .r,--ttit üba during the fiscal year, for the item of sugar alone, within a fraction of $50,000,- 000, while for flour Cuba paid us a fraction over $1,000,000. We have just received the returns of the exports from Cuba for the first seven months of 1873, ending July 31, as published in the Havana Weekly Review on the 27th of Septem ber last. Omitting fractions, the following are the relative proportions of sugar and mo lasses purchased by each country during the seven months: The United States took 67 per cent. of the entire export of these two ar ticles ; Great Britain and her colonies, 15 per I cent.; France, 1 per cent. ; ,South of Europe, • 5 per cent. ; North of Europe, 1 per cent.; all other parts, 2 per cent. Thus, we take over three-fourth ofthe entire export of these sta- , ple goods, against all impediments, while ' Spain is not named at all among the list of purchasers ! As a Sate in the Union, in the circle of production, essential to a home sup ply, always sure and independent of foreign interference, it is justly claimed that Cuba can fill nobly the remaining gap with her cof f▪ ee, cocoa ' and tropical fruits. 1:1 this, too, f she would serve all her sister States, for she . would sell to every one, and buy of every one, which is not true of the special product of , any other State. She would also add as much L' as the Union really needs of sugar lands, and r would make that henceforth a strong and dis tinct feature in the national balance of inter ests. Since the publication of The Repildie, from which the above copied, the Bureau of Statistics at Washington has collected and published complete returns 'of our trade with Cuba for the fiscal year ending 30th June, 1873. The purchases of sugar in Cuba by our merchants amount ed to the enormous sum, during the year, of $54;076,674. During the same period we paid them $9,676,5:14 fur segars and tobacco, while their purchases of flour front us amounted to only $708,249. Du ring the year our importation of goods from Cuba, of their own production alone, amounted to $77,365,749, while their purchases from us, during the same peri od, amounted to only $15,231,039. The commerce of the island is sustained almost exclusively by the United States. As a s i s ' State in the American Union Cuba would iibe relieved of its enormous commercial restrictions, and would bound into hnme . diate prosperity, while the balance of trade between the island and the other States would be equalized, and increased largely / in amount. lar After this issue of our paper we design to establish a literary department, wherein short, original notices, of the leading periodicals, will appear from month to month, with notices of the contemplated issuing of books, by such houses as may favor s with an exchange of courtesies, as well as of all books received. This de• " 1 1* partment will lie under the control of A. B. Brumbaugh, M. D., who is better in formed upon current English literature than any other man in the county owing to his occupying a similar position upon the Pilgrim. The lovers of books can hue without extra expense, learn early the intentions of publishers and profit by the Doctor's criticisms. All matter per taining to this department will be address ed to A.

This ends the Virginias. A NEW VOLUME The Past, the Present and the Future , EDITOR With this issue of the JOURNAL we commence the fourth volume under the present management. We desire to pre sent to our readers a few facts and sug gestions covering the entire period of its publication : The HUNTINGDON JOURNAL WaS start ed in 1835, by A. W. Benedict, the first number being issued on the 23d day of September of that year. The press and materials were purchased from Wes. Orbi son, esq., who had retained them for the rent of the building in which a former pa per had been published, which from some cause or other had been discontinued, leav ing the proprietor insolvent. This and a few other facts, which follow, show that the Jot:tartar, was started under circum stances not the most promising. There . had been several attempts at establishing a paper here in opposition to the Demo cratie party which was then in power in the National and State Goverments, none of which proved successful. There were at the date above given, two other papers in Huntingdon, the *Advocate and the t Gazette, both Democratic, the former ad vocating the re-election of Gov. Wolf, and the latter the election of Henry A. Muh lenberg, the Democracy of the State being divided on these two candidates for Gov eroor. The JOURNAL was started to ad vocate the election of Joseph Ritner to the office of Governor. At the last preceding election for Governor the county had giv en a majority of 532 for Ritner, but at the Presidential election, a month afterwards, Jackson had a small majority (69) in the county, which of course elated the Demo crats and depressed the opposition, whose candidate was William Wirt. In 1835 with the help of the JOURNAL, the county gave Ritner a majority of 1231. This, it must be remembered, was before the erec tion of Blair county, the greater portion of which was taken from Huntingdon coun ty. Price.

Mr. B. learned tho art of printing in New York, and was afterwards engaged in the Book and Job printing business in Philadelphia, for several years, and had taken an active part in the politics of the city and county of Philadelphia; thus bringing considera ble experience in political warfare with him, and the JOURNAL at once took a high rank among the papers of its party in the inte rior of the State. With a little experience in editorial life he soon became a vigorous and adroit writer, and the files of the JOURNAL show that he had many a sharp passage with his editorial cotemporaries of the Xdsocate and Ga zette in which he utterly vanquished his adversaries. In 1838 David R. Porter, "our own Davy R.," as the Huntingdon Democrats delighted to call him, became the Demo cratic candidate for Governor against Gov. Ritner. The bitter contest which ensued brought the JOURNAL to the front still more prominently, and its circulation during the campaign extended to all parts of the State ; and its editorials were copied into other papers very extensively. In that contest Huntingdon county gave Ritner a majority of 926. Mr. B. con tinued to publish the JOURNAL till Jan uary, 1842—six years and about four mouths, when the paper way be said to have been fully established. He then sold out to Theo. 11. Cromer. A brief sketch of the subsequent life of the founder of the JOURNAL will not be considered out of place here. After dis posing of the paper, Mr. Benedict turned his attention to the study of law; was af terwards admitted and practiced in the Courts of this county, with a few interup- Lions, till the time of his death, which took place on the 28th day of April, 1867. At various times he held the following offices : In 1836 he was appointed Collector of tolls OD the Canal at this place which office he held for a year or two. In Jan. 1843 he was appointed County Commissioner by the Court to fill a vacaney occasioned by the death of Robert Moore. He filled the office of Deputy Secretary of the Common wealth during the Administration of Gov. Johnston ; was elected to the Legislature in 1862; and was subsequently elected Clerk of the House of Representatives, which office he held at the time of his death. He also held various Borough of fices during his eventful life. He was one of the most respected and influential of our citizens, and his death was regretted by all. Mr. Crewer conducted the JOURNAL for three years and upwards, from Janua ry 1842, in which time he improved the mechanical appearance and kept up the circulation and reputation of the paler.— In August, 1845, he sold out to James Clark, who issued his first number on the 20th of that month and year, and contin ued to publish it until the time of his death, which oecurred on the 23d day of March, 1851. Mr. Clark was a whole-Souled, ardent Whig, who devoted himself, heart and hand, to the good cause which he espoused. He was the only editor of the JOURNAL who died at his post, and therefore the following extract from tire JOURNAL which announced his death will not be considered out of place here : " Mr. Clark was born in Dauphin coun " ty, Pa., on the 9th day of February, " 1818, and was, on the day of his death, " aged 33 years, 1 month and 14 days.— " He learned the art and mystery of print " ing in Harrisburg, under the instruction "of his elder brother, Samuel H. Clark, " esq. In August, 1845, ho removed to " this place and became the editor of the •The Advocate or Advocate and Sentinel was edited by Thos. P. Campbell and George Taylor, who were thee law students in the office of A. P.Wilsort, eeq, They were thed Democrats and admirers of D. It. Porter. Taylor became disgusted with Porter soon after his election to the office of Governor, and left the Democratic party. lie was af terwards, in 1843, elected County Treasurer, and after wards held the office of. President Judge one year by ap pointment and twenty years by election. He lived highly 'esteemed as a man and as a Judge, and died, N0v.14, 1011. . Thomas P. Campbell, mg., remained a prominent Demo crat until the commencement of the Itebellion, when he left that party. lie was afterwards appointed Deacon. Asseetior, etbich office he held for several years. He was the Democratic competitor of lion. Gen. Taylor, his former editorial colleague, for the President Judgeship in 1850. lie is now a resident of Davenport, lowa. tThe Gazelle was owned and edited by Alex. Gwin, good politician, who afterwards, in 1845, was elected to the Legislature and favored the division of the county.— Mr. Gwin ben been deed for many year, JOURNAL, and continued such until the time of his death. As a mark of confi dence and esteem, he was, on the 11th of January, 1849, appointed Camp to Governor Johnston, with the " rank of Lieut. Colonel. Ad conductor " of a political paper, Mr. Clark had few " equals in the State, and the readers will " bear witness that justice was done to all " their interests, so far as it is in the pow " er of a newspaper to do so." The JOURNAL next passed successively into the hands of J. A. Hall, J. Sewell Stewart, esq., S. L. Glasgow and Dr. Wm. Brewster, the first two of whom have since died. None of these four gentlemen were practical printers, nor did they bring any previous experience to their labors as edi tors of the JOURNAL. Mr. Hall had for some time been a school teacher, and at tje time of his accession to the editorial chair, had a select private school in sue cessful operation in this place. Mr. Stew art was a well•known member of the legal profession, and at the time of his death, on the 7th of February, 1871, held the office of U. S. Revenue Assessor. He was a man of gootrattainments, and of a poet ical turn of mind. The precise date of these successive changes we have no means of giving; but Hall and Stewart each be came tired of editorial life after about one year's trial. Glasgow maintained his post probably for two or three years ; and Dr. Brewster. for three or four years. The last two mentioned editors still live, but it will bo noticed that there has been great mortality among the editors of the JOUR NAL. Successively Clark, Hall ; Benedict, end Stewart have all fallen. But the JOURNAL itself has outlived all its cotem poraries in the,county. Tho Advocate and Sentinel and the Gazette both went down before 1843, and in that year the JOURNAL was the only paper published in the place, the Globe not being started until 1844. About 1840 a Democratic paper, the Watchman, was started up, edited by E. V. Everhart, esq.; but it, too, went down, and is now almost forgotten. In Becember, 1859. the JOURNAL passed into the hands of S. G. Whittaker, who consolidated it with the4merrican, a paper established on the 9th of May, 1855, by J. A. Nash, one of the present proprietors, in the interest of the Ameri can party. The consolidated paper was christened the Journal and Americ,au-- Nash & Whittaker proprietors—which ti tle it bore up to the first &January, 1871. In December, 1865, Mr. Whittaker sold his interest to Robert McDivitt, and on the 13th day of December, of the same year, the new firm of J. A. Nash & Co. issued their first paper. On the 19th of December, 1866, the paper was enlarged from a six to a seven-column paper. This firm was dissolved on the Ist of May, 1867, Mr. McDivitt retiring and Mr. Nash be coming sole proprietor, who continued to conduct it until the lst of January, 1871. One the 30th day of November, 1870, J. R. Durborrow, the present editor, pur chased the RTublican . from Theodore H. Cremer, esq , and consolidated it with the Journal and American, and the first issue of the consolidated paper, under the title of TIIE HUNTINGDON JOURNAL, was da ted on the -4th day of January, 1871. The Republican had been started, by Mr. Cremer, in the campaign of 1869. The first edition is dated September 15th, of that year. The materials were those previously used by John Lutz, in the pub lication of the Shirleysburg Herald, and subsequently by Lutz jr .& Bare in publish. ing the Mt. Union .Herald, and purchased from their successor, John Dougherty, esq. The immediate cause of the estab lishment of the Republican is to be found in the following opening lines of the ini tial number : "Recent developments ren " der it clear and certain, beyond perad venture, Pat the Republican party of " this county has been controlled by a " handful of oath-bound conspirators, whose "object and aim has been to force them " selves into office to the exclusion of of " others, and to promote each others' in ' terest in business as well as in politics." .A lively campaign was the result, and the League ticket was defeated. It was a six column paper, and printed on the co-op erative plan. It was the third paper, in the county, in the interest of "Mb Repub lican party. When purchased for the purpose of consolidation it had a circula tion of about 525, which, after deductinE the number who usually discontinue when a paper changes hands, and those who were recipiltits of both papers, left a bona fide circulation of 315. The circulation of the Journal and American was about 820, of which number about 100 discon tinued, so that THE lIUNTINODON JOUR NAL, under the new management, started with a circulation of 1,035. Politically, for the last three years, the JOURNAL has adhered strictly to the pro mise made in our salutatory publisked in the issue of January 4th, 1871: po litics the JOURNAL will maintain, with "all the vigor that it can successfully "bring into requisition, the integrity of "the Republican party and the principles enunciated in its National Platforms." The existence of the League has made our efforts much more local than they otherwise would have been. We were compelled to shape our course to accomplish the most for theßepublican party in Huntingdon county. In the campaign of 1871 the ticket was composed of both League and anti-League men. The JOURNAL gave a hearty sup port to the entire ticket, and, although there was much dissatisfaction expressed against several persons who were candi dates, from the different standpoints, yet the entire ticket was triumphantly elected. We labored hard to produce this result, because we believed that the factional spirit which bad manifested itself, for sev eral years, would acquiesce in the efforts to harmonize, and would entirely disap pear, but we reasoned from a false premi sis. The elements were not satisfied with the exhibit of their individual strength and determined to test them to the utmost. In the campaign of 1872 we pursued a Conciliatory course until it became appa rent that factionalism was as rampant as ever. It became evident that Mr. Speer was, in a great measure, responsible for the disaffection which existed in the Rer. publican party, and that the combination of Speer and League men would have to be broken up, and we conducted the JOUR NAL to this end, and we had the satisfac tion of beating the co-alition ticket badly with the exception of Mr. Speer, and his defeat would have been accomplished had not the Republican candidate been extreme ly obnoxious to a large number of leading Republicans, and had not Mr. Speer poured out his money like water. We admit that money is still more powerful than newspaper tact. This was Mr. Speer's last triumph ; we mean to chroni cle the next one when it occurs ! The election of Mr. Speer and the money which he dispensed, however, was the means of infusing new life into the League, and it became evident that it would again enter the race to carry off the prize for the Dem ocrats. To head off its usual dodges and charletanry the JOURNAL pursued a con sistent course intended to arouse the people to a sense of their danger, and the result was that the League was beaten two to one at the delegate elections, and a straight Republican ticket nominated. As had long been foreseen the League sought and found a pretext for.withdrawing from the Convention and setting up a ticket of its own. The course of the JOURNAL was then directed to hold the entire batch of Seceders up to the support of this ticket, and to keep them from voting directly for the Democratic ticket, which was accom plished to a much greater extent than was expected, but the League succeeded in misleading a number of good men, who really believed that it possessed some form idable strength, while others, who are open and avowed temperance men, were deceiv ed into supporting the same ticket.' This enabled it to run a much larger vote than it would otherwise have done. The re su!t of the election, however, opened the eyes of those who had been successfully duped and they now see clearly. Unfor tunately several of the Regular candidates were defeated, but the candidate, upon whom almost the enti re campaign was con ducted, was elected, and the League suffer ed a Waterloo defeat ! In the future there will be but one Republican party in Hun tingdon county, and that will be control led by the honest voters. This is an out line of the political history,of the JOUR NAL since the Ist of January, 1871. We look back upon it with considerable satis faction, feeling that it has accomplished all that could have been expected, and , forward with high hopes and renewed vigor, expecting in the not far distant fu ture, that it will be as prominent in State, if not in _National, politics, as it has been in those of Huntingdon county. And now we desire to speak of our business—the past, the present and the fu ture When we came here, in the Fall of 1870, and proposed to consolidate the Republi can and Journaland ihnerican, we promis ed all, to whom we spoke on the subject, to print a first-class country paper. The population of the town and the county led us to believe that such an enterprise could be easily sustained. Previous ex perience had much to do with bringing about this conclusion, but, when we launch ed our boat and paddled out from shore, in to deep water, it soon became appar• us, at least, that the experiment was much more hazardous than we had calculated. We had reckoned without our host. Hun tingdon was not prepared for the improve ment. She had never appreciated print ing shave a man and:. berObrking an old hand press. These could live at a few dimes per day and grow fat, but an office which required the servicesof seven or eight persons rer day, and considerable outlay for materials and m tchinery besides, was quite another thing. When we looked about as for patronage, we sal only a few individual slices, nothing in the world of any considerable amount to fallback upon, not even one strong individual, nothing but mere two or three dollar dribs, and these the product of runious prices. There was no county patronage worth mentioning, which is one of the wain spokes in the wheel of the country journal ist ; no borough or municipal patronage; no banking house patronage; no rail road patronage ; no heavy manufaeturing es tablishment to give hundreds for adver tising and.printing; no nothing to stand at our back with a bill aggregating amounts that would pay for a single months blank paper, and to crown all, those wholid advertise liberally previous. ly, cut down their amounts one-half. This was the introduction of our experiment in to Huntingdon ! No wonder our Mr. Nash became much alarmed when column after column of advertising was ordered out ! But, we went to work in the midst of this supreme selfishness and indifference (and we doubt very much whether it has ever been surpassed anywhere in the United States,) in good earnest and with the aid of a number of zealous friends, whose kind offi ces we will ever cherish, we run the circu lation up, inside of 1871, from 1035 to 1600. We brought order out of confusion. We adopted a schedule of prices and adhered to it, but our prices were railed at, on all ,aides, and yet we knew then that they were only living rates. No party could run a paper and support themselves at less and live. We fought it oat on that line and we have survived it. The victory is ours ! But, then, there is comparative ly little bulk patronage even to-day. The county, for whose interest we labor inces santly, and thereby lessen the burdens of the tax-payers, still insists upon paying less than individuals for its work, while every other class of men who labor for it must have the outside farthing; the bor ough, which receives as much, and mere, attention at our bands than any other por tion of the county, pays us but a trifle, not enough to keep our devil in tobacco ; the banks get their work done elsewhere; of the rail roads we do not wish to com plain, but there is still much room for in provement; and our manufacturing and mercantile establishments, with the infusion of live elements, are doing well enough, but all could do much better. 'There has been a disposition to ignore our efforts, in behalf of the business interests of the coun ty, and to run off to Philadelphia or else where, because a few cents or dollars inzy be made on a bill, bat such selfishness al , w a ys comes back, with tenfold force, in the course of a decade. Since our connection with the JOURNAL we are not aware, that we have slighted or neglected a single interest of the commu nity. We have advocated every improve ment which we believe to be demanded, a number of which have been introduced. And we shall pursue the same course in the future ! Having stood by the interests of the community, saving aud.makimg for them, in the aggregate, considerable sums of money, we insist upon •it that we are entitled to the patronage. With the patronage that we think we ought t 3 have, in Huntingdon county, we could put more force upon the JOURNAL and improve it con siderably, but up to The present we have not felt able to do so, yet we hope ere long to be so circumstanced that we can make it all that we think it ought to be. We are happy to say that the enlarged JOURNAL is no longer an experiment, but a fixed institution ; and we hope that the people of Huntingdon county will feel the same pride in it' that we do, and give it all the support that we claim for it. ne),..

News and Notes from Washington The Merry Christmas Times—The Day in Wash ington—Buying, Giving and Receiving Pres ents—Christmas in the Churches and Among the Sabbath Schools—Nast as a Lecturer. WASHTSGTON, D. C., Dec. 29, 1873. THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS. Congress has taken a recess, the schools are all closed and Christmas, the Christian world's beat holiday, has been generally celebrated, by all classes, in Washington. For three days previous the stores were literally besieged by fathers and mothers,' young and old, in quest of appropriate objects with which to strengthen the "family ties," while beaux and belles were, apparently, more than usually anxious to out-do each other in the exchange of tokens of good will and affection.— Judging from the rush at the stores where appro priate articles could be obtained, croakers would require to look elsewhere than in Washington for evidences of a scarcity of greenbacks or indica tions of hard times. On Christmas morning the churches generally were open, though , the congregations ere not so large us on:the Sabbath, excepting in the Episco pal and Catholie:houses of worship,and there were filled, even crowded in most eases, with attentive listeners to appropriate: exercises. The churches were tastefully decorated with evergreens, and special attention was given by the choirs to the selection and preparation of appropriate music.— In the evening, or in many cases on the previous evening, the Sabbath School children connected with each congregation were entertained by their Superintendent :and teachers, in the school-room, with a Christmaif;tree, and present of a book or other appropriate token of affection, for each boy and girl. In many eases the teachers were re membered,by their :classes, and:',were presented with some appropriate token of esteem and affec tion. Quite a number of Senator ;and Members of the Mouse have returned to their homes, but the lar gest portion of them will remain in the city, and devote most of their time to Committee work, and the preparation of business for early action in Congress. The Departments will be closed each uay at 12 o'clock, during the week, and all day on the Ist of January as they were on the 25th of December. AN IMPORTANT TORPEDO EXPERIMENT. It is not probable that the United States will ever enter the ports of Cuba in a hostile attitude; but Uncle Sam is disposed to be prepared for such an emergency, if it should occur. kis known to the officers of the U. S. nary thadtwo chains, iron two-and-a-half inches thick, are stretched across the harbor of Havana, under water, as a guard against a foreign fleet, on a hostile mission. The chains are under water, and can be raised or low ered at pdeasure. experiment at the Washington navy yard was made to ascertain whether a chain of that size could be broken by a torpedo. A chain two• and-a half inches thick was stretched across the Eastern branch of the Potomac, at the navy yard, and strongly secured at both ends, with the centre buoyed in the position desired. A peculiarly con structed torpedo was prepared, and the experiment was made a few days ago, with entirely satisfac tory insults: It is pleasant to turn from the (lark side of hu manity to record the following acts of a single in dividual. Tom Hopkins died in Baltimore, on Wednesday last, in the 79th year of his age. It. had amassed a fortune ,by his own industry, in that city, by mercantile industry. It is said ef Isitn'that ill)" to his recent illness he was identified with all the leading industries of the city, mer cantilo, commercial, banking and railroads. Be was in all respects a most exemplary and useful citizen and benefactor of humanity, devoting his wealth to public and private charities. Iu March he donated $1,000,000 to founding a free hospital in Baltimore, for indigent sick and poor, withou t regard to sex, age or color, connected with which is a training school for nursei. Ample provision was also made for tho enuowthent of a home for colored orphans, sufficient to accommodate 300 or 400 classes. Ile also' provided for founding a univerzity op his valuable rotate, Clifton, near Baltimore, setting apart 4;1,000 of Baltimore and Ohio Railroad stock, valued at 02,900,000, for that purpcse. Ibis charities were constant and liberal, and entitle his name to a high place among the wise find good men of our day. VIOL NAST IN.IV ISIIINGTON. Nast, whose illustrations have, during the last ten years, added so Much to the popularity of Harper's Weekly, is probably the beet caricaturist of the age. His income from his work for the Harper's is $lO,OOO a year, for. an average of about one day's work in the week throughout the year. Quite recently he Las mounted the platform as a lecturer. He has struck out an entirely new line of entertainment, and has made a decided "hit', His lecture is fragmentary; sometimes a hit at the fashions, follies or frauds of the times; sometimes a personal or popular anecdote, or a thrust at the freaks of a notable public character, or it may be the relation of an incident in his ogn life and ex perience among men. In all cases his topic is il lustrated by instantaneous drawings of his charac tern made with a black crayon on large sheets of white paper, hung upon a blackboard. Ins sketches are brought out with amazing rapidity, while he is speaking, and there is a comical ap propriateness about them that seldom fails to "bring down the house." The house was crowded when he lectured here a few evenings ago. THE SINKING OF THE VIEGINIGS. It is exceedingly silly to charge the Adminis tration with an intentional loss of the steamer Virginius. There was no motive for this, for the same decision of the U. S.

Cno.—Oh depths of mercy ! can it be, That gate stands open wide for me? Stands open wide both night and day— Stands open wide for me. 2 That open gate stands free for all Who seek through it salvation; The rich, the poor, the great and small, Of every tribe and nation. 3 It open stands for old and young, Though filled with joy or sorrow ; The spirit woos our souls along— The gate may close to-morrow. fc.7. 4 011 ! Nor let your heart deceive you; For you the blood of Christ was spilt; He's waiting to receive you. 5 Oh 1 Blessed Spirit, lead me in, And let me falter never; Make me a victor over sin ; I'll praise Thee then forever. G Press onward then, tho' foes may frown, While Mercy's gate is open ; Accept the cross and win the crown Love's everlasting token, 7 Beyond the river's brink we lay The cross that here is given, And bear the crown of life away And love Hun more in Heaven. The Invalid--A Pen Picture. See her palid countenance, but a abort time ago the picture of rubby health, the envoy of the school and the pride of the household. She was &Iwo welpamed by her school mates, for her little Sum and pleasing disposition carried cheerfulness into their ranks. Diligent, punctual and exemplary, obedient and graceful at home, the won the hearts of all. But, alas, we are sorrowed. Those rosy cheeks and rubby lips are blanched by Consumption. The voice once so enchanting iu laugh and song is feeble, husky and supplanted by a hollow cough. Let us ap . preach her couch gently and take her hand. Do not shad. der because of the feeble and passionless grasp. The hand once so hearty and plump is emancipated and shows bony outlines, while the cords and tortuous veins are plainly mapped upon the surface. The pulse that bounded with repletion. carrying vigor to the whole system, and impart ing life, beauty, vivacity, health and strength, is delicate to the touch. The feeble heart cannot propel the thin, scanty blood with force. 3fust wo lose her , No I there is relief! Wo can day this destroyer of our Lappin.ss and not !suffer the loss of so bright a gem. Something more is required now than dietary and hygienic observance, for' nature calls for aid and g'he shall have it. Take thi n pleasant medicine. It is invigorating. Itaw It allays the irritable cough, improves the appetite and digestion and sends a healthy tingle through the frame. The blood Ia enriched, nervous force increased, anal the heart bounds with a new imstreese. See her face brighten by degrees; the color is returning, her voice is getting clearer, and pleasant words are spoken. The strength falters yet, but is gaining. Let us take her out in the warm sunshine. In a abort time she will be able to go without our aid, a cheerful girl. This delightful medicine must be God blessed. It is restarting health to our loved one. She i emerging from her sickness sweeter and nobler than be, fore, and Dr. Pierce's Goldea Medical Discovery must have the credit. It has raised her. S. A. EOZAs, druggist, of Meet rllll,ll, 0., says that Dr . Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has effected a sconder ul cure of Consumption in hie neighborhood; New iron works are about being estab lished at South Bend; Ind. A company in Geneseo, N. Y., proposes uniting with an establishment already there, forming a new and heavy concern. The Shoals blast furnace in Lawrence county, Indiana, will in a few days com mence running, using ore from the new ly discovered beds in Indian Creek town ship. The panic has not frightened the Iron Company at Elk Rapids, Mich. Its fur nace is running as usual, and it is now buying its wood for nextyear. Speoial Notioes CUT THIS OUT.
