The Word mo"

On this little word hangs many a mans
destiny. Whether he makes II success or
failure of his life depends on his ability 10
say No-and No that has no Yes in it-at q
few supreme moments of his career. The
young man who has the courage to say No,
when pressed to drink wine-even ut the
risk Of being laughed at and called i" edd'
is safe. Is it not better to be " singular"
and safe, than to run deadly risk for the
sale of conformity The occasional drinker
who has the stamina to take by the throat a
habit that is beginning to master him, and
strangle it with an unfinching No. instead
of giving to it irresistible strength by con-
t;nued compliance, is safe. And there is for
him no other talismanic word.
The reformed man who arrests every in
clination of his nature toward even the pres
ence OF temptation, with a No that has in it
the courage OF hope, the determination of
faith. and the inspiration of q love for virtue,
is as safe as any man can be who rows his
boat close to the steady suction of rapids,
and within hearing of the terrible roar OF the
cataract. But he must say No with his teeth
set, his eyes fixed on the shore, and all the
strength and purpose that are in him put
into the bending oars. For he is rowing for
his life
But the drunkard's No-what feeble
thing it Is 1t is hike paraly tics arm !; he
would use it, but he cannot. Only by some
thing little short of miracle can drunkard
lift himself out of despair by asserting his
manhood in No ; only by seeking ON bend
ed knees a strength outside of himself can he
recharge his nature with the power of re-
sistance which he wickedly threw away Let
all such remember that while there is life
there is hope und putting their reliance on
" One mighty to save" let them resolve to
brave all things, even death itself, rather
than remain subject to the dreadful doom of
the drunkard.
Young men, moderate drinkers, reformed
men there Is much yiItue in No. 1t is an

the progress of art among us is slow OF

complaints of those struggling geninses who

have mistaken their calling 1t is yet true
that hundreds of deserving artists are re-
strained from doing violence TO the noblest
Ideas Of art because they cherish a spark of
devotion to their ideal and not because an
enlightened public taste has withheld them.
A rich picture-buyer hangs canvas on his
wall and glows with honest pride as lie points
to the signature of its European painter If
he Is seduced into visiting an American
studio, he reckons up the time which the
artist consumed in his work, asks the price
OF pigments and canvas, makes n mental
calculation, and grumbles if he buys. And
1t Is expected that under such conditions as
these art NAV develop Itself and glorify the
American Republic.

Hooded our galleries at an enormous cost
The Spanlsh-Roman manner is now coming

reputation for few European artists who

some foreign painters whose works have
brought great prices here are world-famous.
But not few ind IN the United States their

as they decline TO show American picture
which they have not handsomely taxed with
