depend upon you for success. With your sup.

we are almost powerless. If your efforts shall

wedding religion and temperance, the latter
cause will soon triumph If the two are Sc

in temperance work.
Environed as we are by many difficulties,
not the least of which is the imperative need
of funds, we beseech you not only to aid us
with your counsel, your voice and your per-
sonal influence, but also to give us place in
your yearly contributions. We have no
regular source Of supplies, and in consequences
our efforts are seriously crippled. A few
churches--and they have been few indeed
have favored us with donations. We hope
every pastor will preach at least one sermon
on temperance during this year and embrace
that opportunity Of taking up collection for
the State Alliance, which may be sent to our
Treasurer II. B. Howell Trenton, who will
be happy to communicate with any minister,

ELECTRICAL FREAKS.
BY D. b. Sc p Id.

A streak of lightning is only streak in
seeming--in reality, 1t is an electrical spark,
or discharged atmospherical fluid. Sometimes
the spark will divide, causing forkod light
ming. Some years ago, before cooking stoves
had been invented, there was discharge of
this kind of lightning, striking three objects
all at the same time. One branch struck a
large pin-oak tree, shivering it to atoms an
other branch knocked off the top OF Chin
ney, without passing down any part Of the
house, which was most singular the tnifa
branch struck Mr.. Jonathan burd's house,
breaking out seventy window hgnts, DfeaK-

POETRY.
sIsH.

In the days when Garth was young,
Love aud Laughter reamed together;
Love took up his harp and sung;
Round him all was golden weather.
But there came Sigh anon
What viii be when Life Is gomez
Laughter then would try his skin,
Sang oi mirth and Joy undying
But he played his part 50 i'll,
He set Echo all assigning.
Ever came an undertsne--
What will be when Life is doncG
Then forever since thatti
Love no more can live with Laughter;
For, bright as Is the summer prime,
Winter pale will follow after.
Love henceforth must dwell with signs:
Joy was left in Paradise.

For the blessed footstep that was sure to
come.
IIark! hear its echo, babies mine, once

Hear the latch-kcy turning in the openinr
From my, knee you're springing, fearless in
the gloom,
While flood with radiance all the darkened
Swift you fly to meet him, open wide the
Closely are we gathered to his heart once
more.
Tender kiss and blessing greet your childish
gicc,
But the warmest, babies, always was for me!
Fast my tears are falling DER the mcmor

While catch the echo still of passing feet;
But through summer starlight or through
wintry rain,
Never, 0 my babies, will he come again!
We are now the wanderers in the dusk and

He the one that's waiting in the happy home
From his upper window, though we may not

He's watching, o my babies, to welcome you

Nothing In a Name.

A writer says: Gail names were origi-
nally significant, and we're always be-
slowed by the ancients with regard to
their MISUNDERSTOOD meaning. Some
times they were commemorative of some
incident or circumstance connected with
the birth of the individual bearing them :
as, Thomas, twin; Maius, May (applied
to one born in that month";; Scptimus,
the seventh, etc. In other cases they
were expressive of the aspirations, de-
sires or hopes of the parents as, Victor,
one who conquers; Felix, happy; Bene-
dict, blessed. Not unfrequently they
were descriptive of personalqualities; as,
Macras, tall; Pyrrhus, ruddy; Rufus,
red.haired. Names are as significant
now as they were in the days of Plato,
and as important, but are freqently igno-
rantly or carelessly applied, thus making
our personal nomenclature worse than
meaningless. "A man with the name of
George or Thomas Leigh Hunt OBJ
serves, might as we'll, to all understood
purposes, be called spoon or hatbandr
Blanche is now anything but the faxen.
haired blonde which her name indicates.
Isabel is no longer brown. Cecilia (gray-
eycd) bellies her name, and lets fly the
arrows of love- from eyes of heavenly

A Touching Story.

A very touching and beautiful story
comes from the East concerning the
Princess Marceline Czartoryska, who re.
Gently died in Ga1licia. Her little grand
son fell ill and his life was despaired of
The Dowager in a sublime prayer asked
God to take her life in place of that of her
grandson. BY sort of miracle the child
was saved; almost Immediately the Prin-
cess was attacked by malady of Ian.
guor OF which it was impossible to as
cribe any natural cause.
cit is debt owe to Heaven" she
smiled, family. A few days later, upon
radiant afternoon, she had herself
rolled out IN her easy chair on the lawn,
and gave orders to have all the doors and
gates of the garden opened so that every
body might enter. When the villagers
heard of it they at once left their tasks.
Old men and women, young men and
maidens and little children pressed
about the dying Princess, who had long
been like mother to them, for she held
the Old-fashioned notion that the people
are the family of the sovereign. Then
began most touching ceremony. The
children came first. Drawisg the young
est one into her arms she embraced it,
saying: "Let this kiss fall again upon
you all, my dear friends" Then she gave
to each child medallion bearing the
evangelical words, "Love one another"
After the children came the young girls
and women. To each of them she gave
little case containing implements for
needlcwork and chaplet and an image
of the Blessed Mary. To the men she
gave an ebony cross, and for each gift
and recipient she had appropriate words.
When she had extended her last present
she was so exhausted that her son and
daughter-in-law, who stood by her,
wished to have her wheeled back in the
house, but she said no. She then begged
the people to recite in loud voice the
Dominica orison. Then at sign from
her hand they all knelt, and their voices
in fervent tones broke out in the recital
of the Lords Prayer. As the amen still
echoed in the air she felt death invading
her heart, and, whispering Marcel"
the name of her grandson, the child was
brought, and as he was being carried to
her lips her head dropped upon her
breast, and without sigh she rendered
her soul to God. So much for scene
that seems taken from poem-an ideal
state of society that one can hardly
reconcile with the present.-Paris Cor.
N. Y. Graphic.

If any of the lady readers, writes Jen.

Purchase a fine, soft, light Golden
Gate" blanket before you start, and make
it up as q wrapper, using the bordered
ends for fronts, and cutting the back and
sleeves out Of the middle. The cost of it
is trifling, the comfort immense. Also
take nice suit with you to wear when
you get there. 1t is great mistake to
begin to buy at once, before you know
where to 60 or what you want. Buy
when you return.
