The trump card played by every locality
which invites immigration is sure to be its
climate. Whatever else it may lack, you
may depend on a heaIthful atmosphere and
comparative freedom from all known diseas-
es. In short, unless you plunge into the
widest eXcesses, you have good reason to
count on reaching a hundred years. If the
spot is in the northern region of Minnesota
you are grayely assured that the air is so dry
you experience no trouble from the cold land
even if your nose drops off. you will be con-
soled with the information that it is no fault
of the climate. If the spot is in the marshy
regions Of the South, you are entertained
with pleasing descriptions of the ocean
breezes which WOO you TO sweet repose. If
it is in the central States you are persuaded
how delightful it is to be midway be,ween
the extremes OF hot and cold Looking over
immigration circulars, home Biographies
and works published under State auspices,
we are tempted to wonder if there be any
spot in this favored land where the climate
is not simply perfect. In private lette,s,
hints crop out of rheumatism here, tevers
there, and killing cold or heat, rains or
drought elsewhere, but these furtive imputa-
tions rarely reach the public ear If a con-
gressional whitewashing committee had the
matter in hand they could not do better by
the climate in every square mile of this
great and glorious country. We have our
faults, but climatically we cannot be i'm
proyed.-PWs Itlegraph.

THE PARTING.

Thor gh silence and GOODNESS may part us forever,
Mid all the du pain yelling deep in my heart,

And In forgiveness and friendship should part
That, though, could see your fair form here be-
fore me,
Faint signs Of the old love my face might betray.
once lavl,hcd upon you, It's fast drifting from you:
IT'S waning and fading ana passing away.
Fen now, while the wound you inflicted Is paining,
A voice in my heart pleads in soft tones for you.
Who wavcrcd and faltercd was nckle and altered
On! why were you false when you should have
been true2
loved you too WELL and too well you did know 1t
1 drank deep IN the friendship my vision had
scanned.
That friendship you plghtcd, that friendship you
sllghtcd
The prize was worth nothing when held in the
hand
My faith as a slave made It's own carly grave,
Although you once feared would | ever be true,
The VOWS that were spoken by you have been
broken!
From first unto last was faithful unto you.
No guile have used, not a link have | severed;
II tangs had, they were well known to you.
The love you acccptcd-tirst cravcd, then neglect
ed
Whatever to others, was faithful to you.
Your silence is well. Do not prolTcr a reason:
spare you the pain of that unpleasant task.
My love must not fctter; pass on, and be better.
BE nobGr be truer; It's all now ask.
And so let the mystery lie just where YOU left it,
II met you earnestly, your heart can tell
You know IN your heart was true to my part.
You changed 1t; did not. with forgiveness

The long years will pass, and my name be forgot

New loves for day, round your heart may en-.

But none be so tender or faithful as mine.
For what you once were shall love you as ever,
Though what you are now may be nothing tc

Your friendship, though newer, can never be tiuer
Go-Oe you 10 them what wish you to be.

How to Keep Children Pure.

"Will you not use your influence in trying
to deter large boys from contaminating the
minds of smaller boys2 Things which
should be told in a wholesome manner and
as solemn truths are distorted into vile shapes
and permanent injury is done to children's
minds, Would it not be better for the body
to be poisoned than the mind, that parents
might see the harm done, and thereby be en-
abled to use cures and antidotes? But | am
sorry to say that think the trouble lies
deeper than with the bigboys, have been
looking around aud am quite sure that it

the ears of mothers, sisters, wives and daugh-
ters just so long big boys will listen and
think it cunning to emulate the filthy exam
,ple. Is it not terrible thing to look into
young mans face and think of the impurities
his mind must be loaded with unless he has
strength to cast off the unclean thing and be
nobleman?"
No subject more vital in its bearing on the
morals of the young could have place in this
column, SAYS the New York Tribune, in reply
to the above letter. There are parents who
do not recognize among the duties they owe
their children that of instructing them with
respect to the origin of life. This is left
shrouded in impenetrable mystery, and all
manner of lies are told to the questions
which at very early age children will ask.
The mother leaves this matter for her daugh-
ter to be told about by any chance school
mate, who, with the few grains of truth she
may communicate, is more likely to SOW tares
that cannot be weeded out. The innocent
hearted learns from the rough companions
what his own father or mother should have
told him with perfect simplicity and ingen-
uousness, and learns great deal that they
would never have had him know. Truth is
sacred, truth is pure and never corrupts any
one. 1t is the vile admixture of falsehood
that contaminates. Every fact in human
physiology can be so communicated to pure
mind that its delicacy shall not be in the
least offended The time to make these
things known is when the desire to inquire
into them manifests itself, and the bestteach
er is the parent. As between husband and
| wife, so between parent and child there is
no place for shame. Where virtue reigns
shame cannot come.
A child thus taken into sacred intimacy
| with its parent will instinctively revolt from
whatever is vulgar and base and obscene.
At every period in the development of the
young life the parent should be before ev-
erybody else in preparing and fortifying his
son or daughter against the dangers which
| lie in his or her path. There is nothing that
so strongly binds child to virtue and honor
and chastity, as perfect and unrestrained in
| timacy between it and the father and moth
er. We are careful about the sewage of our
houses, about ventilatng them, and see to it
with diligence that every nook and corner
is kept neat and sweet. Let us carry the
same thing into character and open all the
doors and windows of the soul by total
frankness and transparent simplicity, that
the pure air and sunshine of heaven may
have access to them and keep them pure.
One word more If home is made so at
tractive that boys and men prefer it to the
corner groceries, an ounce of prevention
will be found better than many pounds of
| curp
