One hundred years to come viii
find the world a republic, and men
and women will be in the full enjoy
ment of self-government. Kings
and Queens and emperors will then
be unknown-the Germans viii
have cast OFF the yoke of Kaiser Will
liam and his descendants the En-
glish will have deposed the royal
line of Victoria, and the Russians
will humble over the past glories of
the Grand Duke, and the Gar who
freed the snrfs and Doors.
A hundred years hence, the inhab-
itants of earth win navigate the air
with greater comfort and speed than
they now move over land and sea-
Persons win rise by the genius Of
echanism into the upper blue and
fly from place to place, like the birds,
as interest or inclination may die
tate. Steamboats, and rail cars viii
be slow concerns, and even the tele-
graph will become commonplace for
the communication of thought, in
comparison with the soui-Ht educa-
eational development yet latent in
the human race.
The Atlantic and Pacific oceans
may be bridged, and London and Pc
kin be the abutments, with st.
Louis, the future great Capitol of
the universal republic, the central
pier OF the structuFel One hundred
years to come, the mouidering ruins
of Thebes, Bzfbec and Babylon, dis
turbed now only by the hiss of the
snake and lizard, the whirr of the
- -
echo to the tread of Yankees intro
ducing arts and sciences, and grasp
ing the riches Of the Orient in the
grand march TO perfect civilization.
The children of the West viii clasp
their brothers and sisters of the East
and at the cradle Of the human race
stand aghast at the wonderful pro-
gress vouchsafed to man.
Thought will pass around and
through the world in an instant,
and the newspapers of the day win
be condensed to the size of q green
back dollar, containing more infor-
nation than the largest daily jour-
nal we can now boast of. The mi
croscope will aid us in finding where
the pigeon goes up for Paris, or
the "bald eagle" mounts up for
New York or St. Petersburg. A
hundred years from nov, electricity
will be the motive power of the
world, and water and fire will be
talked of as the old foey elements OF
loeomotion. The perpetual motion
may even supplant electricity, and
the progressive lunatics +" Of to-
day will be honored as wise and
great beyond their generation.
The last and final discovery of
man viii be the secret of his own
Immortality, when birth will spring
from nature by artificial means, and
life and love be one and the same
thing; death viii be prevented by
supernatural knowledge; and eter-
nifty circumscribed by light and per-
feet wisdom. Who will dare say,
judging the future by the past, that
anything thought of in the human
heart is impossible IL Who knoacs z

what is Home.

Home" says Robertson in his
sermons, sis the one place in all this
world, where hearts are sure of each
other. 1t is the place of confidence.
1t is the place where we tear of that
mask of guarded and suspicious
GOODNESS which the world forces us
to wear in self-defence, and where
we pour out the unreserved COM
munication of full and confiding
hearts. 1t is the spot where express
sic of tenderness gush out with
O. sensation of awkwardness,
a. h-ut any dread of ridicule.
Le, IA travel where he will,
home - the place to which his heart
untraveled fondly turns He is to
douOle all pleasure there. He is TO
divide all pain. 4 happy home is
the single spot of rest which a man
has upon this earth for the cultiva-
ton Of his noblest sensibilities."

''StOP MY Paper,

One of our exchanges has the fol-
lowing allegory, which we commend
to the careful consideration of those
gentlemen who, the moment they
see anything which displeases them
in the columns of their local Journal
rush to the printing Office and cry
out, "Stop my papers"
A certain man hit his toe and fell
to the ground. He was yexed, and
under the influence of anger and
seIf-sufficiency, he kicked the earth
right saucily. With imperturbable
gravity he looked to see the earth
dissolve and come to naught. But
the earth remained, and only his
poor foot was injuredin the encoun-
ter. This is the way of man. An
article in a newspaper touches him
in a weak spot, and forthwith he
sends to stop his paper. With great
complacency he looks to see the
crash, when he finds he only hit his
own toe against world that does
not perceptibly feel the shock, and
Injuries no one but himself.

and then you turn your eyes for q
moment to another view. Behold
the fruits Of industry on the one
hand, and the consequences of indo-
lence ON the other. See the rude log

fences down, the gate of the hinges,
the pigs in the yard, the stock in
the corn fields, the garden gone

the fields, the plow half buried in

wood-shed not built, the wood not
cut, the house not fit for barn, the
barn not fit for stable, the stable
not fit for pig pen, the pig pen not
fit for anything, the stock lean and
leaning, the children ragged and
squallid, the housewife scolding,
the husband drinking grog, while
things are going to rack generally

A Mothers Influence.


The following gem, from one OF
Mr.. Wendell Phillips speeches,
should be read in every family:
A mother on the green hills of
Vermont, was holding by the right
hand a son, sixteen years old, mad
with the love of the sea. And as she
stood by the garden gate one morn
ing, she said:
"EdWard, they tell me, for never
saw the ocean, that the great temp
tation of q seaman's life is drink.
Promise me, before you quit your
mothers hand, that you will never
drink liquor"
"And," said he, for he told the
story, 81 gave the promise, and ]
went the globe over, to Calcutta and
the Mediterranean, San Francisco
and the Cape of Good Hope, the
North and South Poles; l saw them
all in forty years, and never saw 9
glass filed with sparkling liquor
that my mothers form at the gate
did not rise up before my eyes, and
to-day 1 am innocent Of the taste ol
liquor"
Was that not sweet evidence Of
the power of a single word? Yet
that is not half. "For," still contin-
ued he, yesterday there came into
my counting room a man of forty
years.
"Do you know me?"
''No."
"Well," sssaid he, 81 was brought
drunk into your presence on ship
board; you were a passenger; they
kicked me aside; you took me tC
your birth and kept me there till J
had slept off the intoxication; you
then asked Inc if had a mother;
said ! had never heard word from
her lips; you told me of yours at the
garden gate; and to-day l am mas
ter of one of the finest ships in New
York harbor, and / came TO ask yoJ
to come and see me-"
How far the little candle throws
its beam. The mothers words Oh
the green hills of Vermont! God bC
thanked for the mighty power of {

Your Turn Next!

a Boston paper having remarked
that FSouth Carolina new feels the
first turn Of the executive thumb
screws" the Savannah NetcS replies:
"Fold your arms, gentlemen Of
New England; Democrats of the
North, fold your arms and quietly
look on. Watch the turning of the
thumb-screw, and calmly witness
the tortures of the helpless victim.
Speculate and theorize about the
wrong and the right of the proceed
ing, the necessity of excuse for such
measures of oppression, of persecu-
ton and barbarous despotism. Ac-
quiesce in the usurpations of our
tyrants. Quietly submit to the
overthrow of our constitutional gov
ernment, for it is your bull and our
OK. But do not expect to escape
unscathed. History has demonstra-
ted that the Union could not exist
half free and half slave Time Will
prove that it cannot remain half re-
publican and half despotism. The
time is not far distant when you will
look upon the lawless and oppres-
sive acts of a relentless and cruel
despotism with less complacency.n

The newspaper correspondent OF

Christian Courtesy.

Every man has his faults, his fail
ings, his peculiarities. Every one
of us finds himself crossed by such
failings of others from hour to hour;
and if we were to resent them all,
or even noEice all, it would be intol-
erable. If for every outburst of has
ty temper, and every rudeness that
wounds US in our daily path, we
were to dGmand an apology, require
an explanation, or resent it by retail
iation, daily intercourse would be
impossible. The very science of So
cial life consists in that gliding tact
which aV bids contact with the sharp
angularities ofcharacter, which does
not seek to adjust or cure them all,
but covers them as lit did not see.
So q Christian spirit throws a cloak
over these things. it knows when
IL is wise not to see. That micro
scopic distinctness in which all
faults appear to captious men who
are for sYer blaming, dissenting,
complainin - disappears in the
large, ciIlm gaze ofloYe. And, o, il
is this spirit which our Christian
society lacks, and which we shall
never get till each one begins with
his own heart.

whom 40 Marry.

Miss Kate Stanton is giving lee
ture on 'TWhom to Marry" and
these are her conclusions-first to
marry a healthy widow, with healthy
children, rather than a young girl,
for she has had the advantage Of ex-
perience but, best of all, marry an
old maid, though she is difficult of
access" To women: MARRY a
healthy man, especially a fat man,
round like q pumpkin; but do not
marry a gossipy man (unless he is q
reporter or editor, who is forced
professionally to be a gossipper).
Above all, don't marry" she said,
"a drunkard, a gambler, a quack
doctor, or defamer of women"

THE BIBLE.

In the poem just published under the
name of Miriam, Whittier pays the follow
ing tribute to the best OF books:
We search the world for truth we Gull
The good, the pure, the beautiful
Prom grnvestone aud written scroll,
From old flowT-felds of the seul;
And weary seekers of the best.

To find that al the ssges said,

rhe HeaIing Leaves.

You have seen the ripe yellow
leaves of a maple forest shaken to
the ground by the early autumn
winds until the highways were hid
den by them. How like to these
leaves are the messages of truth, on
white leaves, that are floated by the
winds or driven by the mighty force
of steam, Gods own forces, to cross
continents and seas to the ends of
the earthl The message is sent to
the Messenger Office, and the types
stamp it on beautiful white leaves,
as the leaves of the forest, for the
multitude; the mails, as so many
winds blowing from and to every
quarter, take these healing leaves
and carry them to thousands and
thousands of homes.
No man can ever. know in this
world how many homes, all desolate
before, have been healed by these
precious leaves.-AmericdR MeSsea-

Wy First Newspaper.

The following is the experience of
a mechanic, concerning the benefit
of 8 newspapers
Twenty years ago, lived in the
town of D., in Indiana. On return
ing home one night, for am carpen-
ter by trade / saw a little girl leaY-
ing my door. My wife then met me
at the door with smile, which is
encouraging to a tired mechanic af-
ter q hard days labor. She said
Mrs., had sent her little girl af-
ter their newspaper which she had
borrowed. We sat down at tea. We
had only been married six months,
and of course had no children. Ny
wife said to me, calling me by my
given name, 81 wish you would sub
scribe for the newspaper, for it is so
much comfort to me when you are
away from home. Ny answer was,
81 would like to do so, but you know
l owe a little payment on the house
and lot. II will be all can do to
meet it." She said, "If you will take
the paper l will sew for the tailor to
paw for it," | subscribed for the pa
per. 1t came in due time to my Of
flee. Whilst resting one noon and
looking over l saw an advertisement
of the County Commissioners to let
bridge that was to be butt. Iput
in bid for building the bridge, and
got the job, on which L cleared $500,
which enabled me to pay for the
house and lot easily, and also for the
newspaper. II l had not subscribed
for the newspaper l would have
known nothing of the bridge con-
tract, and could not have met my
payment on my house and lot. a
mechanic never loses anything by
taking his county paper"
