* Just when I wag devoting all my thought and each talent as I possess to fche task of ' Spring cleaning/ and carefully studying Aunt Tib's most approved methods of polishing and re» pairing, as if there were no such things as powera and dominions, presi dents and aeaasiuns 1 Yes! Assassins abominable, unutterable, and worse than fables yet have feigned, or fear coaceived, Qorgona and Hydras, and Chimeras dire, comes tbe terrible news of President MoKinley'a death 1 We are thinking of nothing but ' What are they going to do with that man, wfaos? hand ha* bid McKinley low.' How i> ife that free <\uwic* whose ways w are so prone to admire and oopy, fur- Dishes u» with examples of crimes re sembling those of the darkest daya of imperial Rome? There must be a limit at which liberty becomes license and freedom lawlessness. The Ameri can mob may ran hither and thither gnashing its teeth, and lynching the wranft men, bat that will not awaken one of their murdered presidents fr-»m hie untimely sleep. The most curious paifc of this often recurring dram*, i? that when they catch the assassin they make much of him, seem quite proud of him ! On the 19th of September, 1831, James Gsrfield breathed hid last, 20 years ago, almost to a day 8 Per haps, the finest man they have ever raised to the presidency, and after four useful months of office his life was snatched from him hy the murderous band of Guitean ! Is life no safer in Washington than in Venice of the middle ages? * Shall we punish treason V was one of tbe sub jects Garfield expressed himself upon, ▼cry decidedly-—as his manner was te the affirmative. And yet, decade after decade, the traitor rushes out and ■lays the first citizen of the Republic ! How do you account for it ? I should say * The; do not punish treason,' and it is time they did. If in our own dear land, treason were punished, do you suppose that the Boetr war would be still dragging on its destructive length ? Do yon know Lovell and his poems ? Here are some lines of his, which might have been penned today after this terrible tragedy. 8 Look on who will Id apathy, and stifle they who can, The sympathies, the hopes, the words, that inaka man truly man. Lab those whose hearts are dungeoned up with interest or with ease, Oonssnb to hear with quiet) pulse ol loath tome deeds like these. Shame on the costly mockery of piling stone on atone, (To thoaa who woo our liberty, the heroes dead and gone. While we look coldly on and see a lawless ruffian ulay QThe first of all oar oitizana, the hero of toJB»y 1 He'« ferae to God who's true to mao ; when ever wrong is done, To the humblest or tha highest 'oeath the all beholding tun, fEhati wrong is also done to us, and they are tfovei most b*se, Whose love of right is for themselves, and not for ail their race; It seems pretty plain that in the every thy commerce of life—domestic, social, and political, the false weighty asct the false balance, is too much, in bs®«. The thinking rightly ie so intimately con nected with the doing righteously (or rsghtlj), that we find in tbe admoni tion, control your thoughts, the secret of Controlling oar actions. Wrong thoughts tore such false weights, that the measure* We meet with them will be to om own condemnation for ever, in the estimation of those, who Bre worthily called "the just" If these perpetually to be exe orated assassins Booth, Gut'ean atd CaolgoPß, had not used the false weight of their wrong thought aboafe human rights; The f»lse balanc of their i»ta.nio aotion, would never have dealt ' oat death is the noblest of their fellow country men, America mourns for her noble sons Lincoln, Garfield, and < McKinlef, but sho should fast in sack cloth and ashes for the ill blood her soil has brought forth, Booth, Gaiteau and Czolgoez. My dear boy, I am going to try to "control my thoughts,"

THE ASEBUBTON GOARDIAN : FKIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1901



All Run Down' No Appetite, Weak. Discouraged. Warm climates always debilitate the nervous system, The digestion is $low, and the liver becomes sluggish. Im purities in the blood accumulate, and you go about downhearted and de pressed. All this may be quickly changed with proper treatment. Mrs. C. Kennedy, of 20 Erskine St., North Melbourne, Victoria, sends us her photograph and this letter' " I had lost my appetite, was very weak, and all run down. Nothing did me good, and 1 was discouraged. I tlien tried AVER'S Sarsaparilla ami it brought me right up to my usual health and strength. And I want to add a word here about Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It has cured jue of such hard cough 3 and colds that I feel I co"!d not do without it. For family reme dies 1 rely on that word, 'Ayer's.'" Keep your bowels in good condition with Ayer's Pills. Take just enough to produce one good free movement of the bowels daily. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer Co., Lowe!!, Mass., U. S. A.
