The hearth of home is beaming
With rays ©1 rosy light,
And lovely eyes are gleaming
As tails the shades of nignt;
And while the steps are leaving
The circle pure and bright,
A tender voice, half grieving,
Says, “Don’t stay Tate to-uight.”
The world to which thou movest
Is busy, brave and wide;
The world of which thou lovest
Is at the ingle-side.
She waits for thy warm greeting,
Thy smile is her delight;
Her gentle voice entreating
Says, “Don’t stay late to-night.”
The world, so cold, iuhuman,
Will spurn thee if thou fall;
The love of one poor woman
Outlasts and shames them all.
Mhy children cling around thee,
Let fate be dark or bright;
At home no shaft will wound thee.
Then “Don’t stay late to-night.”
Editor Democrat: I notice in yes-
terday morning’s issue of your invaluable
daily an interview with Senator Morey,
published in the Courier-Journal^ in which
interview Senator Morey, in speaking of
our great state, is made to say, “We have
about three hundred and seventy-eight
miles of coast front between the mouth of
the Sabine and the Rio Grande,” which
we presume is a typographical error, for
on an air line from the Sabine to the Rio
Grande the distance is not much short of
eight hundred miles, while if we take into
the account the inlets and bays, &c.. we
have a coast front ot over three thousand
miles. Veritas.
We guess our correspondent “Veritas”
is correct in the matter. The article re-
ferred to was a clipping from another
paper, and not an original aiticle.

Election April 5th,
I wish to state that the Democrat did
some injustice to some parties yesterday
morning. The mistake would not have
occurred but from the fact that I refused
to take advantage of my connection with
the press and make a statement concern-
ing the matter, and the reporter had to
gather his information from hearsay,
wish it distinctly understood that I do not
think Mr. Hale or Mr. Harrison are at all
to blame. They took no part in the as-
sault. They were there, I suppose, in the
interest ot law and justice. No one held
me when I was struck with the officer’s
pistol. Mr. Witcher knows very well that
if he will put off the pistol the law allows
him to carry, that any business he has
with me can be arranged expeditiously.

Not a Beverage.
'They are not a beverage, but a medi-

They do not tear down an already debili-

contains more hops, that is, more hop
strength, than a barrel of ordinary beer.
Every druggist in Rochester sells them,

A Pastor Made Happy.
I have been greatly troubled with my
kidneys and liver over twenty years, and
during that entire time I was never free
from pain. My medical bills were enor-
mous, and I visited both Hot and White
Springs, noted for the curatiye qualities of
the water, I am happy to say 1 am now
a well man, and entirely as the result of
Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.
With such glorious results 1 am only too
glad to testify regarding the remedy which
has made me so happy.
