BROOKS HEREFORD, the new Unitar-
ian minister in Chicago, says that after
being in this country fortnight he be-
gan to realize what small place Eng
land is, and could understand the feel
ing OF the American who said he was
afraid to 60 out on dark nights in Eng
land for fear he should fall over the side.
WE should not grow angry amidst
jesting and bantering, for we make our
selves enemies thereby; nor in discus
sions, because they then change in
to disputes; nor in instructing, because
instruction then becomes our antipathy;
nor in prosperity, because it adds to the
envy with which others are filled.-Pu-
tdrch.
The Watkins Express is responsible
for this. "a few Sundays ago we heard
a preacher of the Gospel, who holds
forth over there in Chemung County,
make use of this vigorous comparison:
"A hypocritical Christian can no more
get into heaven than a raccOOn can
climb stovepipe with tea kettle tied
to his tall"
The food "alarmists having scared
many persons out of the practice of
using brown sugars by reporting that
they were in the main full of a species
of mite, a wOuld-be scientist is now try.
ing to make us believe that refined
sugars are poisonous. What next,
gentlemen? We await patiently fur
ther discoveries, and in the meantime
are thankful that we still live !"
LAURA @. REDDEN, or" Howard Glyn-
don," the lady whose marriage, was
coupled in the newspaper with an ac-
count of her learning totalk after being
a deaf mute until sixteen years of age,
publishes a new poem in the Independent.
Doubtless it was written during the
honeymoon, for it contained this verse:
There's q beautiful country that CLEANS from the
distance,
Exceeding the country that Moses looked on
When his sad, dying eyes, with pathetic persist'
From Pissah's high top sought the far horizon.
'Tis the land that Is loved Of the low-leaning
IT'S the land that is loved Of the lass he leans over;
For the snake never hides IN the sweet-scented
And clouds never darksn the blue Of the sky
In the Sweet By and By
NORWICH Herald: A young man
disappeared from his home last spring
and his parents heard nothing of him
until yesterday, when he came home
with a broken nose, four fingers fright
fully out of shape, one ear partially
gone, one eye missing and crutch under
the right arm. At first his mother
thought he was the victim OF a nitro
glycerine explosion, but when he sank
down into chair and feelingly remarked:
Home base at last" she knew right
away that he had been travelling with
professional base. ball club, and charita-
bly, forbore questioning him.
ROME Sentinel: Does it ever seem to
YOU, kind reader, that the Allwise
Father has forgotten this world which
he has made? Do you ever, seeing
poverty and suffering on every hand
think that He comes but slowly to the
relief of the children of men? When
next you have the shadow of such a
feeling as this, just take hold and do
what you can yourself. The Almighty
never instructed you to wait to see Him
do His work. He only expects you to do
your own. Not by hasty aims, neither
felt nor remembered, may you labor,
for aims giving is most frequently the
promoter of idleness, but by kind words,
hearty sympathy, constant watchfulness
how and when and where you may
wisely lift some burden from the
shoulders of the weary. Once your
mind set faithfully to this task, all your
doubts as to the wise oversight Of the
great Supreme will fade.
