The Middling Man.

Mr.. F.-"From what you have
said, John, it seems you think your
selfa pretty fair kind of a man."
john" Well, Mr.. r., l will
tell you my opinion about that ex-
actly. Idon't think that ] ever did
much that was bad; nor can / say
that / ever did q great deal of good.
Think you may call me a middling
man.
F." That is your opinion, John
But don't you think everything
that exists must have had a cause
from which it sprung y
john" Certainly / do, Mr..
=; for old John is not so void
Of sense as not to know that"
F." Well, John, what do you
suppose is the cause Of a good
man p
john" God, of course, sir"
F." And what do you think is
the cause Of a bad man p
john" The devil, most Ger
tainly; for God never made any
thing bad"
F.-HBut, John, what is the cause
of middling man ?"
john" Well, l suppose
--
F." John, 1 perceive you have
got fast there. You say God is the
cause of good man, and Satan is
the cause of a bad man, but you say
that you are neither! You are a
middling. Doubtless, John, you
must have had a cause that made
you what you are"
"But as there is no middle Being
between God and Satan, then l am
at an exceedingly great loss to know
what has been the great moral cause
that made you middling,"
JOHN" Why, sir, I have heard O
great many folks like me saying
that they were middling, that is,
neither good nor bad; but really,
when l think of the matter in the
way you put it, | begin to be some
what doubtful whether l am right,
Yet / assure you, sir, l do not think
| should be called q bad old man.
F." John, did you ever see o
middling gold dollar +? Or did you
ever see a middling bank-note ?"
john" No, never, Mr.. F.;
they are always either good or bad;
But / have known some bad ones to
pass for good ones"
F." Well, John, if you never
saw middling money, you never saw
middling men; that is, as before
God. God is a being of perfect ho-
illness, and He judges according to
a perfect standard. He cannot
adopt middling men and call them
good. You must either be right
eous OF unrighteous-saint or sinner
So, friend John, want you to think
seriously on this matter. You can
not serve two masters At this mo
ment you are either good Or bad
you are either serving God or Sa.
tan. You can not be q middling
man. You have no middling cause
no middling life, no middling death
and no middlin0 destiny.

From the Christian Witness.
The Wofal Effects of Modern Spir-
ualisin,

While travelling across the
State Of Illinois,w we had occasion
to stop at off u certain place
where we had a goodly number
of acquaintances and also some
business to transact. We had
formerly known a mana drug
gist--in the village ; and had
known him to esteem him, as a
good, substantial member of the
Methodist denomination. We
first thought of giving him a
call fop'9ld acquaintance sake,
but soon saw that his store was
closed, and so passed on else
where.
This brings us to narrate the
story intended, and also, the Sc
quel, A few years ago, this
man, whom | shall call M, COM
menced reading the +" Banner
of Light" an organ Of spiritu-
alism, He became a believer
in its baneful teachings and be-
came a most Jealous advocate of
its loose and demoniacal tenets.
He could not travel on the cars
without scattering this infdel
trash along the way, dropping
the sheets where YER he presumed
a reader might pass ; in san
guine hope that some one might
become infected by tho teach
ings of this " "Banner of Dark
ness"

NOT ALL IN BRINGING UP.


Ii isn't all In bringing up,
Let folks say what they will;
You silver-wash pewter cup,
1t will be pewter still.
Fen he of old, wise Solomon,
Who said "train up child"
If | mistake not, raised son,
Gay, rattle.braned and wild.
A man Of mark, who fain would pass
For lord of sea and land,
May have the training ola class,
And bring him up full grand;
May give him all the wealth oflore,
OF college and of school.
Yet after all make him no more
Than just decent fool.
Another, raised by penury
Upon her bitter bread,
Whose road 10 knowledge is like that
The good for Heaven must tread;
Has but spark of Natures light,
He'll fan it to flame,
Till in its burning letters bright
The world may read his name.
Ifit were all in bringing up,
In counsel and restraint,
Some rascals had been honest mon
I'D boen, myself, saint.
o, tisn't all in bringing up,
Let folks say what they WILL
Neglect may dim ia silver CUP
1t will be silver still.

The Sia,ooa,ooO Treasury Dcac!i Lie.

The Secretary OF the Treasury has
declared the story, that there Is 4 deficit
of SIG. 0OC, 900 in the cash of the United
States Treasury, to be utterly untrue.
The canard originated partly in nsaiicl.
Gus opposition TO the administration, and
partly in the necessity Of Wall stree,
gambling. Although ridiculous in itself,
the ru,nor has been eagerly caught up
and given general currency: The World
has got 20 far as to ask, with pretended
anxiety tor the country, what was to
"be the next development Of Radical
rule ," Its question is answered much
sooner and more completely than it could
desire, a. the very next development OF
Radical rule was to prove that the World
was ready to recognize, as an established
fact, grossly improbable rumor, calcu-
lated to do vast injury to the country,
merely that il might make little politi'
cal CAPITAL. II will, doubtless, be sorely
yrieved that the Secretary of tac Treas
ury has let the country know that this
deficit story arises solely from the usual
operations of the Treasury IN the re-
dcmp,ion of the so-cal.sd hve-tSenty
bonds. When an organ has such limited
opportunities as the World, it Is rather
cruel to take away tune it vas about
to torture into 80 many variations Ner
York Tunes.

FLAX CULTURE.

Tho department of this branch Of farm
ing is on the increase in the Northwest,
about 1000 acres wero sown this season
in Marshall county Iowa. In Watonwan
county Minnesota, where last year 1000
acres were sown, the acreage has been
enlarge to 1000. Flax is also raised IN
Nicollct county, Minnesota, fsrmcrs gem
orally receiving Sl2 per ton and realiz-
ing a fair profit. 1t does we'll upon the
highlands overlooking the Clackamas
river, Oregon. Very few lint mills are
to be found in these new flax growing
regions, where the corpis mostly grown
for seed. The lin; is therefore only a
waste product. 1t would be well if
Some manufacturing enterprise should
be aroused and new margin of profit
secured to the farmers by utilizing this
material. In Washington county, Ne
braska, fax culture is also increasing
rapidly, averaging III bushels per acre,
worth 5l.2 per bushcI.

Exteus. on Of II: Sarrow Guagc.

The friends of this road must have a
little patience and al will be well. The
company has been doing its utmost 70
push the work this summer, but we all
know how hard it has been TO raisc
money.
The roal has been built entirely so far
by individual capital, and mostly RICH,
out of the pockets of our business men.
The stock holders have paid from SIo,-
900 TO 100000 a piece. There Ia not
another city in the West that could have
done this much on the capital OF lndI-
vidual citizen, and we have not done
it without feeling it. Take half mil
lion dollars out. of business and tic it mp
in a railroad and it must be felt by our
people. But tic company do not
owe Il dollar and there is not dollar OF
incumbrancc on the road. That is more
than can be said of any other road OF
equal importance in the State. The
company will make every preparation
this fall and winter and assure us that
they will spend million and halt on
the road next spring. That will make
money plenty once more IN Lcaven
worth. The fact that Thos. Scott.'hc rail
road king. is u stakeholder in this rod
and has paid up his stock like all the
rest of the stockholders, shows that he
means business and is Il guarantee Oh

A frghful accident took place on the
Chicago and Alton Railroad near Le-
mont, twenty five miles cut of Chicago,
on the nj .,h. of the II, about ten o'clock.
4 passenger train behind time and run
ming very rapidly col!ided with a freight
train also behind time aud tryin. to
reach the next station before the passen-
ger. Such was the force Of the shock
that the passenger engine climbed COM
plcte!y over the top of the freight en-
ginc. Some twelve persons were killed
outright and between thirty and forty
more, who were i'm the smoking car,
wcrc icarfully scaldcd by the escaping
steam, many Of them fatally. The
cause Of The accident is said to have
been the car!sssncss and negligence of,hc
conductor in charge of the freight train,
who was warned by the agent at Lemont
not to leave there as he was then on the
time Of the passenger train. As this
seems 10 be clearly 4 case in which the
responsibility of the acciden, rests up,
on the employees of \ certain train, the
public will look TO see proper punish
ment visited upon the guilty.
