spirit aud become His children Then
will war, violence and persecution be no
more heard. All crime, and fraud, and
deception, and unkindness fail, and cease
to be, and universal peace and good will,
from man to man, be the pervading sentl-
ment of every heart. Then will the Lord,
as He Has promised, "0pen the windows

that there shall not be room to receive It,"
He will rebuke the devourer, that he shall
no more destroy the fruits of the ground.
He will unbind again "the sweet inau-

things, regarded as evils by men, which

as an unfeeling monster, the cruel unre-

Fancy Dancing.

An exchange cautions young men who
can't dance the fancy dances not to 60 TO
ball with young lady who can, and
adds a few suggestions as follows: IF
we ever have any children we shall teach
them to dance the fancy dances, to the
neglect Of their catechism. Not that they
will enjoy the hopping around, Grst on
one foot, then on the other, then on both
but they will have good chance to hug
other folks wives and sweethearts p
This is the secret Of the dancing No one
could object; but if fellow were to sit
by the side of his own wife even in ball
