Parent, form an erroneous idea
their children should enter q course
Of education as soon as they can
walk. The first training of child
should not be in study bat in it,
play, such as football, handy, and the
like. These give occasion for really
useful and health giving IcSsons.-
Instead Of this course, many are sent
to school for the sake of riddance,
others with a hope they may learn
They are thus deprived of natural
care, or, if learning, the tendency of
brain-work is to idioey. Mothers
love their children too dearly to thus
knowingly peril their intellect, des-
troy their health and shorten their
lives They should remember that
the brain, at this tender age, is capa-
bic of but little exercise and, until
they are five or six years old, but lit
tie mental strain should be imposed
upon them. The first important OBJ
ject should be the building up of a
strong, healthy physical body, and
with this comes the capacity for intel
lechnal labor. At this period, also,
parents should be careful as to their
use Of language in the presence of
their children. Mr.. Rutcr /umi/ios,
for instance, may say something i'm
moral it is at once inscribed in the
child's dialect. Childhood is like II
mirror, catching and rejecting images
One profane expression from a par
ent's lips, may affect the youthful
heart much like water thrown upon
finished steel, staining it with rust
which no after securing can etiace,

The futurc Progress of Our world.
BY rEOi'. DUNN.

BY rEor. DUNN.
The prophet saw in vision clear
The wonders Of the latter days;
Tie long, long wished Sabba'ic year;
The future glory of our race
a thousand years prolonged the strain;
Then Marc caught the rapturous lay,
And sang sublime of Pullio's reign,
When peace and right shall hold fun
sway.
4 future real golden a~c.
1t is the samc--a promise sure
Engraved upon the eternal page.
Let earth be patient and endure.
That time shall come come at last;
No wild belief or poets dream;
The signs cen now are ripcning fast,
And soon the breaking day will glcam
When Gods great gospel, read ofall
Its wond'rous spirit shall impart,
To carth's great jubilee shall call,
Shall SanciIiy the human hcarI,
Then wars that waste our earth shall cease,
And armies turn to till the soil;
No need of guards or thick police;
And science half shall case our toll
Each land shall hold its billions then,
And every nook of earth be titled;
The homes Of beasts he homes of men,
Mans heart with food and gladncSs filled
The lion from his covert lair
The tigrcss from her Jungle home,
No more shall fill the herds with fear,
When they for pastures new shall roam.
Their work is done, They had their day;
Not needed now in wisdom's plan;
Like fossil tribes they've passed away
And lcf, their late abodes to man.
Their haunts shall yield hundred fold,
The olive and the clustering vine;
There corn shall wave and fruits Of gold,
Blcst change on bending bows shall
shine
No Livingstoncs of ycnt'ring soul
Shall search for mysteries Of the Nile,
Nor Halls shall seek Il hidden pole,
Midst dang rous bcrgs and ice the while.
These all ere then shall he revealed;
And every rood ofcarth he scanned;
And mines of boundlcss wealth shall yield
Their precious stores at our demand.
But O, the culture of that day,
In science, art, and every grace,
No pen Of angel can portray
Such, such the glory of our race.
And no Chica%os then Will burn;
In wisdom shall our works I've planned,
And skill shall execute in turn;
A thousand years our homes shall stand.
And all that rule in those bright times
Shall guard with care the public veal
No locks, no bars, no burglars crimes;
No Politician, left to steal.
These hast lived out their LITTLE time,
And lrapcd ihcir puny pile of pc'f;
They slonc conspicuous in crime,
And left no name behind but self
Ten thousand years have cyclcd round
Since these low villains had their birth;
Their bones are rotiing in the ground
Their fame is rottng on The Garth
Their children long have changed thcir
names,
Lest thcir descent should be surmiscd;
Have thrown their records to the flames
Such ancestry is never priced,
It's done and crimes have had their dav,
And earth all loyclincsS appears;
The former things have passed away,
Rejoice q thousand years.

The Morse Memorial Meetings

Held in Washington and Baltimore
were honored by the presence of dis
tinguished personages. The meeting
in Washington was held in the Hall
of representatives., attended by the
President and Cabinet, Judges Of the
Supreme Court, together with Cover
nors Of States. Speaker Blaine prcsi-
ded, assisted by Vice President ColfaX.
Addresses We're made by Mr.. Blaine,
Senator Patterson, Fernando Wood,
Gen. Garfield S. S. Cox, D. W. Noor-
bus and n. z. Banks, Major Nansant
and Hon. Reyerdy johnson addressed
the meeting in Baltimore. In both
cities kilograms We're read from all
parts of the country and the world,
testifving universal tribute of re
spect for the memory Of the illustri
Gus Morse.
We extract the following from
Speaker Blaine's address:
LESS than thirty years ago a man
Of genius and learning was an ear
nest petitioner before Congress for the
small pocuniary aid that enabled him
to test certain occult theories Of
science which he had laboriouslv
evolved. Tonight the representatives
of forty millions Of people assemble in
their Legislative hall to do homage
and honor to the name of Morse
Great discoveries and inventors rarely
live to witness the full development
and perfection of their mighty con
ceptions, but to him whose death we
now mourn and whose fame we cele-
brate, it was in Gods good province
vouchsafed otherwise. The little
thread Of wire placed as limited on
pertinent between the national capital
and a neighboring city grew and
heightened and multiplied with al
most the rapidity of the electric cur
rent that darted it's iron nerves, until
within his own lifetime continent was
bound unto continent, hemisphere
answered through oceans depths unto
hemisphere, and an encirclcd globe
flashed forth his culogy in the un-
matched clements of a grand achieve
mcnt.

with about one.half the iron made in
the world in 1871. 1t is represented,
in connection with this statement, that
had the tariff of 1912 not been repeal
cd, the production in 1871 would have
been rery ,1early double what it is =
This presumption is based upon COM
parison of annual productions under
the tariff, showing steady increase I'M
til the adoption of free trade, when it
took the other turn and as rapidly di-
minished. Thus, from 1915, under the
tariff of 1912, the product of pig metal
in the United States went up from
4S6,O00 tons to 100000 tons in 1917.
Under free trade up to 1862, when
protection commenced, our product Of
iron was only 73l 1874 tons, or 6S, 466
less than in 1917. On the contrary,
in 1915 the British product was ,5l2,
900 tons; under the operation which
diminished ours, it reached, in 1861,
3,7l2,39O tons, or more than dou6Ica
itself in the same period
If facts and figures, in connection
with this tariff question, demonstrate
anything, it is an unanswerable argu-
ment against free trade at this period
of our national existence. Its tenden-
cy is not only promotive Of continual
diminution of our productions, but
daily transfers capital to foreign lands
that should be invested in develop
ment at home. If New England had
supplied herself with cheap transport
alton for coal with the money paid out
for foreign coal lands, she would have
full access to better coal, besides ben
eftting the consumers of her manutac-
lures, and the general building up of
the country. By her course, however,
the country is depleted Of capital,
transferred to the enrichment of for
eigners, her consumers discouraged by
the ungracious disabilities imposed
upon them, Great Britain, &C., are
made capable Of yet higher achieve
ments in overlapping the productive
figures of all the world beside, and,
what is worse, the country is asked to
favor the establishment Of these I'M
happy results. To do so now is to
strangle the American Hercules in its
youth to erect foreign despotisms over
home industry; to fatten the fortunes
Of English arstocracies by the ruin Of
American labor, and to mortgage in
definitely the best interests Of our
people. 1t is a rhetorical boast that
England, without a gold-mine, possess
es more tons of gold and silver than
any other country" We might, also,
similarly anomalize our situation as
the richest gold-producing country in
the world, with the widest circulation
of-1ooocr money If the former is
true, the latter is no less so. If the
one is .crcditable to the outreaching
enterprise of Great Britain, the other
is not lattering to the guardians of
our treasures.
The question of tariff reduction is
still held in allegiance by the monaco
ton of Congress. Not only are roll
ing-mills checked in their operations,
but an incubus rests upon the coal in
terests throughout the country, which
may now be relieved by prompt and
stable decision in favor of their pro-
lection. 1t is high time something
should be done with this yexatious
matter, especially as for some years
hence it seems so easy Of solution.

How THE WHEAT LooKs.-Thc re
cent rains have materially altered the
outlook for the growing wheat which
a fortnight ago, in a number of Mary
land counties, was not encouraging.
The latest county papers reflect the
improved prospect. In the Valley of
Virginia, according to the Staunton
TUdicotor, larger breadth Of land
has been sown to wheat than for ten
years past, and it hopes for a good
crop. In York county, Pemsylva-
MIA, the prospects for a good wheat
crop, says the York Democrat, are
again becoming as bright as ever.
