And in church, in palace, and judgment hail.
He saw his image high over an.

Unwise Philanthropy.


Fostering the good at the
expense of the good is an extreme cru
city. It is a deliberate storing up of
miserieF for future generations. There
is no greater curse TO pOsterity than that
of bequeathing them an increasing popu-
lation of imbeciles and idlers and crimi-
nails. To aid the bad III multiplying is,
in effect, the same as maliciously pro-
viding for our descendants a multitude
OF enemies. 1t may be doubted whether
the maudlin philanthropy which, look
ing only at immediate mitigations, per-
sistently ignores remote results, does
not infict greater total of misery than
the EXTREMIST selfshness inficts. Re
fusing to consider the remote influences
OF his generosity, the thoughtless giver
stands but degree above the drunkard
who thinks only of to-day's pleasure
aud ignores to-morrow's pain, of the
spendthrift who seeks immediate de-
lights at the cost of ultimate poverty.
In one respect, indeed, he is worse
since, while getting the present pleasure
produced in giving pleasure, he leaves
the future miseries to be borne by 9TH
ers-escaping them himself. And call
ing for still stronger rcprobation is that
scattering of money prompted by mis-
Interpretation of the saying that ''char-
ity covers multitude of sins For,
in the many whom this misinterpreta-
ton leaves to suppose that by large do
nations they can compound for evil
deeds, we may trace an element of posi-
tive baseness-an effort to get a good
place in another world, no matter at
what injury to fellow-creatures.- Pop,s-

His Thinking (Night) Cap.

The season approaches, says the Dan
bury News, when the boy of the period
turns his mind to meditation. AS the
hour of eight P. NJ strikes, he softly
withdraWs from the table where he has
been engaged in digging the putty
from a nail head, and unostentantiously
deposits himself back of the stove to
think. We are particular to. emphasize
this void, because there is an impression
on the part of his parents and his elder
sister, who has the honor OF escorting
him to bed nights, that he is going to
sleep. They go so far as to openly OK.
press this belief, but he stoutly denies
it, and Immediately proceeds to demon
strate the gross injustice of the in
sinuation by humming some familiar
piece. Pretty soon the humming
ceases there is a significant movement
at the table, and then it is resumed
again, and continues for five minutes,
when it grs6,'ally dies out, and all is
silent back of the stove. When the boy
comes to again, he is being lifted to his
feet by his wristband, and ouffed on the
head to indicate that it is after ten
o'clock. BE makes desperate attempt
to find where be left of on the tune,
butignominiously fails, and five minutes
later is stumbling up stairs, with an in
terested and active sister in his rear,
and firmly but family maintaining that
he was not asleep, but only thinking.

THERE IS NO DEATH.-If it be true
that nature abhors vacuum, it is equal
" true that the great creator abhors
death and gIories in life. There is re-
ally no such thing as death, the term is
misnomer, used to designate the chan
Res which occur in life. Life, eternal
life, is created by the laws of almighty
will-power, which are as immutable in
their application as is the existence of
the Creator himself. When God made
life, He made everything necessary to
sustain it, but left it for mans progress
sive intelligence to discover, convert
and utilize. Good medicine is to the
aiIing physique what good fuel is to the
expiring flame the better the fuel, the
quicker the fire, the better the medi-
cine, the quicker comes relief from pain.
California Vinegar Bitters is life's elixir
for old or young, Use this medicine
properly and you viii live to a good old
age without those physical ailments
which make seventy years burden.

THE best mahogany comes from Hon
duras in the shape of squared logs,
which are cut into thin boards for We
neering after reaching the United States
and European markets. The cutting of
the trees and squaring the logs is done
by the natives in parties of thirty or
forty, the work beginning in August
and continuing until the last of Deem
Der. The trees are cut some ten or
twelve feet above the ground, stages
being erected for the purpose. As the
accessible parts of the forest have long
ago been cUlIed, the cutting parties are
compelled to penetrate every year
further into the interior. They build
cabins for their four or five months So
journ, and live among venomous rep
tiles and swarming insects as best they
may, resting during the intense heat of
the day, and often working at night by
the light of torches. tH

A SONNET.
BIZ SHAKESPEARE.

Tired with 81 these, for restful death cry
AS to behold desert beRgar born,
And needy nothing trimmed in jo1lity
And purest faith unhappily forsworn,
And glded honor shamefully misplaced,
And maiden virtue rudely Btrumpeted,
And right perfection wrOngfully disgraced.
And strength by limping sway disab{e)led,
And art made tongue-tied by authority,
And folly (dOctOr-ike) controlling skill,
And simple truth niscalled simplicity
And captive good attending captain III
Tired with all these, from these would BECOME,
Save that, to die leave my love alone.

twenty minutes. Rub freely, occasion

CHERRFULNEss AND MIRTa. II have
always preferred cheerfulness to mirth.
The latter consider as am act, the for.
msr as habit of the mind. Mirth is
abort and transcient, cheerfnlness axed
and permanent. Those are often raised
into the greatest depression OF melan-
chOlly,; on the contrary, oheerfulness,
though it does not give the mind an ex-
quisite lglAdness, prevents us from fall
ing INTO any, depths of sorrow. Mirth
is like fash of lightning that breaks
throughsa gloom Of clouds, and glitters
for a moment; cheerfulness keeps up
kind of daylight an the mind, and fills
il with steady and perpetual serenity.

TIM books to buy for the family are

ment of all ages, can never grow stale /;
and for which young and old, in their

volumes that will only bear glance, or
q single reading, should be left to the
circulating library. A score or two of
meritoFious works, starting with Mother

ten its dinners, or lengthen the term of
its old clothes, to command them.
