A Revival Of Honesty Needed.

What is wanted is revival of hon.
esty and integrity, and then these other
things-faith, hope, charity, and other
graces and gifts-will follow in due or
der and succession. We do not need q
revival of all the terrors of Hades for
sectarian unbelief or dogmatic indiffer-
ences, nearly as much as we need a re-
vival to stop men from swindling,
gambling, defrauding, or appropriating
other peoples money, overreachiDg
their neighbors, and making gain by
dishonest means and avoidance of labor,
which is the present curse of this coun-
try, and which is responsible for almost
every other sin and evil, as well as the
source of much of the crime in the COM
munity at present. If the revivalists
can make the people honest, they will
strike at the very root of the evil. In
stead, therefore, of trying to impress
men with this or that view of the Un-
known, let the evangelists preach the
necessity of honesty, and have the
churches practice it. Let them unite
their efforts to reform the world in the
things of the world, and, having done
this, the affairs of the next world will be
much easier to take care of. This Is the
topic which the people need, and any
other remedy will only be scattering in
its effects, and productive of compare
lively little good in curing the specific
disease.
Many observing, thinking men have
little faith in ordinary revivals, not be-
lieving that their efforts are permanent,
but are mostly spasms of religious ex-
eitement, and apt to be of little value in
their after effects. It may be that re-
vival of honesty might not be perma-
nent-but that is neither here nor there.
Dishonesty is the crying evil of the
community, and against this evil the
whole force of the evangelists, with all
the aid and comfort the churches can
give them, should be directed. This
will be in accordance with Christ's
teachings. His Golden Rule, "Do unto
others as you would have others do
unto you," is the very essence of hon.
esty. If that were practiced universally,
it would promote general honesty and
virtue, which would be conducive to the
growth of religious feeling. Are Moody
and Sankey ready to grapple with this
great evil of dishonesty wkich is under
mining the community? Are the
churches ready to support and aid them
with practical work? If they are, then
great good may grow out of the revival.
If not, then we fear that the revival
may prove only sensation of excite
ment, ephemeral in its character, and
not productive of the reform which is
the most needed.-Chicdqo Tribune.

TRICKS OF SPEECH.-Nothing is
easier to acquire, nothing more difficult
to lose, than trick of speech and man.
ner, and nothing is more universal. II
we look around among our friends and
acquaintances, we shall find scarcely one
who has not his favorite word, his per-
petual formula, his automatic action,
his unmeaning gesture all tricks
caught probably when young, and, by
not being corrected then, next to i'm
possible to abolish now. Who does not
know the familiar 81 say" as the preface
to every remark ?-and the still more
familiar "you know" as the middle
term of every sentence?
Who, too, in these later times, has
not suffered from the inf1iction of "aw-
ful" and 'jolly"-milestones in the
path of speech, interspersed with even
uglier and more obtrusive signs of folly
and corrupt diction-milestonest that are
forever turning up, showing the success
sive distances to which good taste and
true refinement have receded in this
hideous race after slang to which our
youth is given.
Then there are the people who perpet-
uate calculations, who say "Goodnessp'
as mark of surprise, and "Good gra-
cious p when surprise is little mixed
with reprobatiOn; lower in the social
scale it is "My wordp' "Patience vi
''Did 1 ever p' and differently to all sta
tions, "You don't say sop or in voice
of depreciation, "NoW and "Surely
not p' To judge by voice and word,
these ejaculatory people are always in q
state of surprise. They go through the
world in unending astonishment, and
their appeals to their goodness and that
indeterminate quantity called good gra-
cious are incessant.

The SwAMPs OF LoUIsIANA.-Im-
agine, if you can, an area of some humid
red acres overgrown with huge cypress
trees, the trunks of which, rising to o
height of perhaps fifty feet before they
send off branch, spring from the midst
of the dark, muddy waters. Their broad
tops, placed close together with inter
laced branches, seem intent upon sepa-
rating the heavens from the earth. Be
meath their dark canopy scarcely stray
sunbeam ever makes it's way; the mire
is covered with fallen logs, on which
grow matted grasses and lichens, and
the deeper parts with nympheal and
other aquatic plants. The Congo snake
and water-moccasin glide before you as
they seek to elude your sight; hundreds
of turtles drop, as if shot, from the float
ing trunks of the fallen trees, from
which also the sullen alligator plunges
into the dismal pool. The air is preg-
nant with pestilence, but alive with
mosquitoes and other insects. The
croaking of the frogs, joined with the
hoarse cries of the anhingas and the
screams of the herons, forms fit music
for such a scene-Jolag James audubon.

SPIRITUALIsAI.-T real test of Spir-
itualism, as of all things in this utilita-
rian age, will be found in the answer to
the question, "What good does it ac-
complish 2" Doubtless the conviction
that some nearly-related human being
continues an intelligent existence be-.
yond the grave, is oftentimes the sweet
est boon that comes to mortal mind.
But we may set it down as very certain
that the laws of human life are fixed
and immutable, and that clairvoyance
and trance mediumship can never take
the place of common sense, energy, per-
severance, health, and the other quail
ties by which human beings sustain
themselves and advance their social
condition in the world. The rains will
continue to fall on the just and the un-
just to the end of time, and no perfection
of communication with all the spirits in
all the spheres can ever interfere with
the operation of the laws of God.
In spite of all the wonderful things
that are indubitably included in the
word Spiritualism, we have not OBJ
served that the ultimate mysteries of
life have been dissipated by it, or that it
has yet brought any valuable addition
to the wealth or the literature of the
world. What the world now greatly
needs is accurate information concern
ing the causes and the effects of the
phenomena which have become so ex-
ceedingly common, and every honest
effort to bring them within the realm of
scientific knowledge is more than praise
worthy.-SIt1lddy Herald.

THE EUROPEAN ADMINISTRATOR
many has 100000 men under arms, in
Guiding her army and navy. For these,
although she is economical beyond any
other nation in Europe, she pays $780,
000,0 900 year. England's soldiers and
sailors comprise nearly half a million
men, at q yearly cost of Sl24 200, 900.
Austria spends $54 ZOO, 900 year for an
army of $685. 900 men, although she has
difficulty in paying her debts. We find
even little countries like Belgium and
Denmark with large armies, costing
millions of dollars every year. Spain,
whose credit is a mockery in the money
markets of Europe, whose industry is
paralyzed and her commerce little more
than a name-Spain, with every i'm
petus to economy and retrenchmenta and
peace, must have over 270, 900 men, for
which she pays over $4,000, 900 year.
France, with her army and navy, has
1,700,00 men under arms, costing $685.
600, 900 per annum. Even Greece, who
cannot suppress the brigands that infest
her hills, must have $4,000 men. Italy,
which would not send a commission to
the Centennial Exhibition at Philadel-
phia for reasons of economy, can afford
to keep several hundred thousands oi
men under arms at a cost of nearly $780,
100000 per annum; while little Hol-
land, one of the most useful and harm
less countries in Europe, finds 100000
men necessary for her independence
Even Sweden, away, we should think
from the sweep of European ambition
and protected by her isolation, is com.
PEELED to keep 10000 men under arms
Switzerland has 10000, and Turkey i!
rapidly going to the devil with an army
of 100000 men. Altogether, therefore
Europe has over 100000 men under
arms, for which she spends nearly $780,
100000 per annum.-N Y Herald.

1.-THE END.l

CHURCH AND STATE.-The following
paragraph, copied from the UaiUerSaLiSt,
contains a good deal of truth, and indi-
Gates trouble which is to come upon
us, and which is not very far distant:
That church and state are, in this coun-
try, separated by law, is true. Yet the
separation is more technical than real.
A good proportion of our political man.
agement is made with view to get the
Irish vote, which means again, the IA
vor of the Pope. The results of our
elections are often determined in Rome.
How to get Rome's help, and how to
circumvent Rome's influence, are the
great caucus questions. The common
school question is, in spite of itself, a
church question. Its parties are not the
Democrat and Republican, but Catholic
and Protestant. Technically, it is
purely a secular matter. It's success is
disintegration in the Romish church.
That makes it practically an ecclesiasti-
cal matter. Our next war-if one must
come-will be between ROmanist and
Protestant. We may as well not delude
ourselves with names. Nominally,
church and state are two; practically,
we are finding them one; and we may
ere long have occasion to act accord
ingly.

THREE ENTERPRIsING GIRLs.-The
Fort Dodge 0owa) Messenger has this
paragraph about Des Moines family:
Miss Kate Tupper, of Des Moines, has
been in town, visiting at Mr.. Bassett's
for few days. Kate comes of family
which is remarkable for intelligent
womanly effort and success. Her
mother is Mrs. Ellen S. Upper, the bee
queen of Iowa, whose work on bee oul-
ture is a recognized authority every
where; her eldest sister is very elo-
quent preacher, at Colorado Springs;
Miss Kate is studying medicine, having
taken herself through full course at
the Agricultural College by her own
work, and Miss Madge, who is only six
teen, is famous poultry raiser and an
officer of the State Poultry Association,
who has made money enough in this
business to defray her entire expenses
through full collegiate course. Mrs.
Tupper's family is sufficient answer to
the question of woman's work, if there
were no other. Let any mother in Iowa
show three boys who can beat this.

In London an attempt is being made
to have the art of swimming taught In
connection with the public schools. In
order that the experiment might be
tried without encroaching upon the
school fund, a few merchants formed a
swimming club, to which only boys
and girls in the elementary public
schools should be admitted. Within a
few weeks no less than 5000 children
were enrolled as members, showing
clearly that a public want was thus
met. The girls are instructed in the
many swimming baths of the city,
while boys, under suitable guidance, go
to various public places at stated times.
Although there are every season many
persons lost in the water who have some
knowledge of swimming, yet it is plain
that a thorough knowledge of the art
is the surest safeguard against drown
ing, and when it becomes q part of the
education of every boy and girl, drown
ing accidents will be less frequent.

Very nearly twenty years ago the author Of
the following story, having always lived upon
a farm, and being wholly ignorant Of all prac-
tical knowledge of the literary world, her asso-
Citations confined TO the illiterate and strug-
Cling pioneers OF the land of her adoption, con-
ceived the idea of entering in some way the
worlds arena of letters. Being possessed of
fertile Imagination, imperfect education, affec-
tionate nature, feeble strength, and romantic
disposition, and having encountered many
strange experiences (which made her tired and
old before her time," Mrs. Duniway compiled
her crude ideas in the form of a novel, many,
and indeed all the important incidents thereof,
being founded upon facts, so grouped as to form
a connected story. She has been induced to
re-publish the work in these columns, partly
because of desire to revise and correct the
original work of both herself and the publisher
and partly because so often urged to do so by
subscribers, that she feels under obligation to
accede TO their demands.

The money order system connected
with the Post Office Department is an
extensive business. There are about
$500 money order offices in the country,
where any sum of money not exceeding
$50 may be given to the postmaster,
and be transmitted to other offices. The
orders are then paid, like any ether
draft, when presented by the person to
whom sent, at the proper office. In
single year no less than $29, ,372, ,627 81
passed through the New York post office
alone in the money order department.

NUMBER Q.

mournful destiny of the "Atlantic," and
the more recent loss of the steamship
"Schiller How many of the lost had
thoughts of home and friends-the dear
est triends-to come over the mind, just
as the wave, charged with their destiny,
swept them into eternity! But we for
bear.
Sometimes we have seen the ocean
lashed by the raging tempest, until its
lofty, foam-capped billows seemed to
brush the clouds; and when the noun
tain surges, beating violently upon the
shore, have been "dashed into feathery
clouds of foam," white as the driven
snow. Again, we have seen it when it's
wild tempest music was hushed, its bill
lows lulled to repose, and when scarcely
ripple broke upon its sand. In this
quiet state there may possibly have
been seen a gentle swell-something
like the heavings of an infants bosom,
when sweetly slumbering. Then its
polished surface, like boundless mir
ror, reflected distinctly and minutely
the vessel that stood motionless upon
it's bosom. Indeed, the azure vault of
heaven, the solitary bird on the wing,
and every object above the waters, were
as clearly seen in the waveless deep as
above its surface.
But the ocean.appears most beautiful
when seen on a soft, moonlight night.
Let the evening be calm, and the sky
unclouded; let the moon, "regent of the
silent night" ride at her "full noon,"
and shed a fieecy robe of light upon the
trembling sea, curled up into playful
ripples by the light and gentle breezes
that just kiss its surface, and let there
be distinctly seen in the distance light
skiff, cutting it's liquid way, and family
heard the regular dash of oars, accom-
panied by the boatman's wierd song
flung upon the passing breeze, and you
have a scene that might enchant Ros'
coe, Byron, or Lamartine.
The ocean was made by the mighty
God. His hands formed its caverns
and girt it around with barriers of sand
and it was He who said to its thought
less billows, "Thus far shalt thou go
and no further"
But tits midnight; and
' The oceans wave is cleaning now
With streams of phosphorescentl light;
While round the gallant vessels prov,
That splits the wave in Silly night,
The waters dash in feathery foam,
And whisper round the sailors home.
I" The stars that deck the midnight sky,
And shed their light upon the wave,
Are like the sleepIess eyes on high
That watch with care the Christians grave
Those eyes shall keep their watch on high
While star-fires burn along the sky"

Remedy for MOles.

Allow me for the benefit Of those
troubled with moles to- state how l keep
my premises entirely free from them at
an expenditure Of aboutten cents in money
and less than two hours of time per an
mum. Ny lot is $50 by 40 feet, and for
time the moles had almost entire posses
sion. I adopt the following method: l
take grain Of corn, and with sharp
penknife split open the small end of the
grain and open it as much as can with
out breaking off either side then take on
the point of my knife little strychnine
and insert it into the opening in the corn,
and press the grain tightly against the
blade of the knife so as to wipe off all the
poison; then press together as closely as
possible the separated parts of the grain.
After preparing sufficient amount Of
corn in this way take small, round
stick and make hole into the track Of the
mole, and drop grain Of the poisoned
corn into the opening, and cover up the
opening made by the stick with dirt 80 as
to exclude the light. I drop grain here
and there in their tracks all over the prem.
ises, aud that is the last of the moles for
SIX months; and whenever one appears the
same process medjately stops the evil.

greatest care Is necessary in handling 1t,
