Which Shall il Be.

I'm view of the great dangers besetting
young people of the present day, i'm the
form of bad newspapers, illustrated
Juvenile monthlieS and weeklies of Il
vile character, surreptitiously and eX-
tensively circulated. and finding their
secret way into the best houses and
school-hOuSeS of the land, the GulleSt
managers of a p,0e periodical for the
young can hardly fail to burn with a
holy fire. If they can only do Il neg
ative good, i'm crOwding bad reading to
the wall, in taking up the children s
attention so that foul publications are
unheeded. a great work is accomplish
ed: their mission is a blessed one. and
good citizens everywhere should rally
to their assistance.
Let not parents deceive themselves.
No home is too sacred or too carefully
guarded for those fiendish invaders, the
vendors of low and dangerous juvenile
publications, to ply their unhOly trade
Every child is in danger for whom good
well-selected, enjoyable reading is not
provided by those most directly having
its best interests at heart. All danger
GUS publications do not betray theil
character at a glance. Often they wea
the mask of graceful information, and
even piety. Do not force your child t.
spend time in reading, but look to il
/ that all his or her reading time be prop
erly filled. While you blindly congrat
ulate yourself that your boy or girl
/ through fondness for books and peri
Odicals. must necessarily be learning
something, it may be well to know
what that something is.
Undue intellectual stimulus for chill
dren is bad enough, but emotional slim
illus is worse. In the hands of unprin
cipled purveyOrs it opens the way t,
moral errors of every kind, and by
quickening an else slow growth to what
is holy, develops only precocity anC
vice The point of the wedge is easily
/ inserted, and, at first, as easily thrust
back, but beware of the silent force
/ that. having once gained an entranc'
may split the peace and purity of YOU
/ home

Mrs. MOllOy in Boston.

The Boston Herald thus speaks of
Mrs. Emma MOllOy's lecture. on tenn
perance, delivered in that city, on Sun
day evening:
a very large audience assembled at
fremont Temple last evening to hear
Mrs. Emma Molloy, an eloquent speak
er from Indiana, upon the subject of
temperance. The meeting WAS opened
with the singing of several familiar
hymns by the audience, led by Prof
Tourjee, and prayer was offered by
Rev. \. Cooke, after which Mrs. Mol
10y was introduced. She first related
an incident during DIR. Hayes explora-
tions in the Arctic sea, when two ice
bergs drifted towards the ship, from OPP
posite directions, and the danger of be-
ing crushed between the monsters was
very imminent when third iceberg
drifted in sight, headed between the
first two. and i'm an instant the Crap
ping irons were fastened to the new
conner and the ship drawn from danger.
And so, said the speaker, our great
ship of state is in danger of being
crushed 10y the love of drink on one
side and love of gain on the other; but
the temperance people are rising, and
slowly but surely will draw it into safe
ty. Mrs. Molloy gave number of in
teresting statistics, showing the extent
of money expended for the use of intox-
icating liquor, and the loss it entails to
the industry and prosperity of the coun-
try. She strongly advocated prohibit
ton and the right of women to vote.
For over an hour she eloquently APP
pealed to her hearers upon the different
phases of the temperance reform, but
very few people leaving the hall before
she closed.

Mark Twain's Report of an Accident.

Mark Twain recently tried his hand
writing up IA distressing accident for a
Boston local paper, and this is how he
did it; last evening about o'clock,
as Mr.. William Schuyler, an old and
respected citizen of South Park, was
leaving his residence to go down town
as has been his usual custom for many
years, with the exception of only a short
interval in the spring of 1856, during
which he was confined to his bed by
| injuries received in attempting to stop
a runaway horse by thoughtlessly throw
ing up his hands and shouting, which,
ifhe had done SO even a single moment
sooner, must inevitably have frighten-
ed the animal still more instead of
checking its speed, although disas-
trous enough to himself as it was, rem
dered more melancholy and distressing
by reason of the presence of his wife's
mother, who was there and saw the &C.

she should be accommodating in anoth-
er direction when incidents occur. not
being vivaciOus and on the lookout, as
general thing, but even in the reverse
as her mother is said to have stated,
who no more, but died in the full hope
of a blessed resurrection upward of three
years ago, aged eighty-six, being chris
tian woman without guile, as it were,
In property, in consequence of the fire
of 1919. which destroyed every solitary
thing she had in the world. But such
is life. Let us all take warning by this
solemn occurrence, and let us endeavor
SO to conduct ourselves that when we
come to die we can do it. Let us place
our hands upon our hearts, and say
with earnestness and sincerity, that
from this day forth we will beware of
the intoxicating bowl.

A gentleman stopping at fruit
stand and inquiring the price of some
pineapples displayed was dissatisfied
and said so. The dealer replied that
he didn't make any profit on the fruit
anyhow, keeping it merely for show.
The possible purchaser then re-
marked that pineapples were not very
good eating, and the dealer an
swered that pineapples were nice if
they were only fixed right-sliced
thin soaked in sugar for a few hours,
seasoned with lemon and nutmeg,
and then taken in sherry wine. The
only remark of the other man as he
turned on his heel and walked away
was: "Why, turnips would be good
that wayl"
