It is deep seated in the affections of all liberty-loving peo- ple. and only needs to be nourished and cultivated to develop and ex pand. Imperious, mandatory sel- fishness often retards the growth and efficiency of Democracy and paralizes to an extent the energies ot its votaries, but they never fail, in the end, to arise in their might and strike down the talse Gods that may have momentarily led them in the wrong paths. Men are but creatures that often fall by the way and even perish ignominiously, but Democrat- 1c principles never die.—Osceola Sun. Is He Haunted? The most acute case of tussomania that ever came to our notice 1s that of Bro. Wade, eantor of the Butler post-office. He gets up in the night time--often betore breakfast,to study and commit to memory President Cleveland’s civil service instructions. He has been almost frantic with tear lest ke might violate that order and get bounced. This tear has been his spook tor some time, and when he heard of Benton’s removal he went straightway and had his name taken out of the Democrat—for fear he might be guilty of some slip. The best thing Wade can do for his peace of mind is to resign the post-office in tavor ot him, of the Times, and trust to luck for compen sation for the overbid. We offer this as amicus Patriot. No, thank you, Bro. Carpenter. | We once had fond dreams of selling | Postage stamps through a square hole, but those dreams are yanished and we have no ambition to serve | Uncle Sam in that capacity.

Pathetic Appeal. The Walker Herald man is in want—sorely in want ot some ‘under- wear,’ and this is the way he appeals to his stone-hearted delinquents: “*We would like a number of old gunny sacks that are worthless tor holding grain to be given us on sub- scription by those in arrears. We want to use the gunny sacks to make us some underwear. Those who have neither gunny sacks nor money can bring us some wood. If we can’t have underwear we can fire up, provided you bring the wood. Please send us some flour sacks for Sunday.” Sure Enongh Santa Claus. HEADQUARTERS, Vec. 7, 56. Gero. W.

Usually settles in the back or limbs, and otten so completely overpowers its victims that all business and labor have to be a- bandoned. Our readers should remem- ber that Hood’s Sarsaparilla is not rec- commended as a specific tor rneumatism ; its propiltors doubt it there is, or can be, such aremedy. But many people who were most seyerely afflicted, state that they have been positively cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. The disease is often the result of impure blood—hence the power of this great medicine over it. Its suc- cess in many severe cases justifies us in recommending its use to all sufferers trom rheumatism. 100 Doses One Dollar. Come to the O. H.
