TEMPTATIoN.--Whil it is true that no
one can escape temptation entirely, there
is no doubt that he can largely modify it's
influence. The temptations which '1here
in mans moral makeup, he cannot Who'll
ly run away from, how much soever he
may desire it. because the evil is in him.
as disease is in the tainted blood. But he
can largely modify it's action and lessen it's
virulence. One way to do this is to keep
himself from sights and surroundings
which inhahe his passions, and sharpen
the edge of his appetites. If his tempta-
ton is IN the direction of stimulants, then
let him avoid the sight and smell of liquor
and the companionship Of those who drink.
So, whatever his weakness, let him keep
beyond the reach of whatever can pene-
trate him at that point. The Indian meth
cd of fighting is an excellent one in spirit
ual warfare. The soldier of Christ should
keep himself under cover as much as he
can. A good deal of lodging is allowable
in contest with Satan. ''Discretion is the
better part of valor," at times, and it is
better to beat a mastery retreat than to
have your soul captured bodily. A man
who is morally weak at any point, and who
nevertheless, persistently exposes that
point to attack, commits the graYest of
sins.-Ihe Golden Rule.
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1876-06-23

MYSTERY OF DREAMs.-It is relate d
that a man fell asleep as the clock tolled
the first stroke of twelve. He awakened
ere the eche of the twelfth stroke had died
away, having, in the interval, dreamed
that he committed crime, was detected
after five years. tried and condemned; the
shock of finding the halter about his neck
aroused him to consciousness, when he
discovered that all these events had hap
pened in an infnitesimal fragment of time
Mohammed, wishing to illustrate the
wonders of sleep, told how certain man,
being a shiek, found himself, for his pride,
made a poor fisherman; that he lived as
one fol- sixty years, bringing up family
and working hard; and how, upon waking
up from this long dream, so short time
had he been asleep that the narrow necked
gourd bottle filled with water, which he
knew he overturned as he fell asleep, had
not time to empty itself. How, fast the
soul travels when the body is asleep! Often,
when we awake, we shrink from going
back into the dull routine of sordid ex-
istence, regretting the .pleasanter life of
dreamland. How is it that sometimes,
when we go into a strange place, we fancy
that we have seen it before? Is it possible
that when one has been asleep the soul
has fioated sway, and has that memory of
far dual is the life of man, how far not?
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1876-06-23

BE SOCIAL AT HOME.-Let parents talk
much and talk we'll at home. A father who
is habitually silent in his own house may
be in many respects wise man, but he is
not wise in his silence. We sometimes see
parents, who are the life of every company
they enter, dull, silent, uninteresting, at
home among the children. If they have
not mental activity and mental stores suf-
fcient for both, let them first provide for
their own household. Ireland exports beef
and wheat, and lives on potatoes; and they
fare as poorly who reserve their social
charms for companions abroad, and keep
their dullness for home consumption. 1t
is better to Instruct children, and make
them happy at home, than it is to charm
strangers or amuse friends. A silent house
is dull place for young people-a place
from which they will escape il they can.
They will talk or think Of being s'shut up'
there; and the youth who does not love
home is in danger.

Amid-the purple heather, q.
A woman sat with dropping head,
End hands close-knit together
Never bitter word she said,
Though all her life looked cold and dead
Cold in the glowing haze that lay
Over the fair green earth that day,
That day of summer beauty.
Far, far away, where leafy wccds
Touched the sky, cloud-riven,
A thousand birds rang out 1ifes bliss
In jubilee to heaven;
How could the poor old withered throat
Carol e,hoes to each soft note?
Every soul must pay life's cost
Her deepest silence praised God most,
That day of summer beauty.
Too dulled her soul, too worn, to feel
Summer delight acutely;
While earth was praising God aloud,
Her patience praised Him mutely,
Her narrow life of thong hit and care
Not life to live, but life to bear;
Contented that her soul was sad,
While all Gods soulless things were glad,
That day of summer beauty.
And where she stayed, a dusky speck
In gorse and heather glory,
A weary spirit watched and read
The pathos of her story;
A spirit, doubt-opprest and worn
Had found another more forlorn,
That, trustful stayed, nor sought to guess
Life's meanings, which are fathomless,
Through all the summer beauty.
