1t any argument was necessary to prove
the good sense of the workingmen of Mo-
line, none better could be produced than
their orderly conduct since the strike. In
stead of the communistic demonstrations
that usually follow a movement of this
kind, there has been evinced determine
| tion to keep within law and order. No
effort has been made to interfere with the
employees of other manufactures. nor is it
likely there will be. Aside from the riot
Gus. unlawful nature of such conduct, there
are the best of reasons why it should not
occur. During the strike now in progress,
pecuniary assistance will be necessary to
provide means of support for those who
are financially unable to care for them.
selves. This aid must come from the
workingmen outside of Deere's shops; nc
assistance need be expected from any
other source-that is with any degree OF
certainty. Now,suppose the strikers were
to compel all other shops to close, what
would be the result? Would it benefit
the laboring eement2 Not at all; on the
lcontrary, it would be the most suicidal
move that could be made For, if the en-

4 CURIOUS LIrERARY PRODUCTION.


The following is a remarkable curious com
position. Each line commencing at the toI
and reading down and up agaia, contains
word of the Lords Prayer:
Make known thy gospel truth, our Father King,
Yield US thy grace, dear Fdther from above
Bless us with hearts i0aich feeling can sing.
Our life thou d-t forever God of love.
Assuage our grief in love for Christ, we pray,
Since the Prince Of Hearen and glory died,
Took all our sins and halleaOed the display,
Infant being irstman and then was crucifed.
Stupendous God Thy grace and poCer make
known,
In Jesus name let all the world rejoice;
Now labor in Thy Heavenly Kingdom own,
Thy blessed Kingdom for thy saints Tie choice,
How vile to come to thee is all the cry,
Enemies to Thgself and all that's Thine,
Graceless our lcil, we live I'm vanity,
Loathing the very being egil in design,
o, God, Thy will be done, from earth to Heaven,
Reclining on the gospel let rs live,
In earth from sin delipered and forgiven;
Oh. as Thyself but teach us 10 forgive,
Unless its power temptation doth destroy,
Sure is our fall into the depths of woe.
Carnal in mind we have not glimpse of Joy,
Raised against HeaVen in as no hope we know,
O, giDe US grace, and lead US on thy way,
Shine on US with thy love and give as peace
Self and this sin that rise against US stay,
Oh, grant each day our trespdsses may cease.
Forgive our evil deeds that oft we do,
Convince us daily Of them to our shame,
Help us with Heavenly bread, toTgiUe us too,
Recurrent lusts and sCsH adore Thy name.
In Thy forgiveness we as saints can die,
Since for as and our tresp0sses so high,
Thy Son our Saviour died on Calvary.

Only to-day l saw the pale, remorse-
full little widow making her pilgrimage
to plant flowers upon the graves of
husband and child.
"But for my selfish persistence" she
told me weeping bitterly, Il might to-

And while | spoke words of comfort,

is destroyed, the home interest weak

No matter how poor the house, how
mean the surroundings, if once mar

home, and the love his home holds, it
is his safeguard against all outward
temptation, his comfort in trouble, his
sweetest, safest happiness on earth.

Good A1axI1ns.

Never be idle. If your hands can
not be usefully employed, attend to the
cultivation of your mind. Always
speak the truth. Keep good company
or none. Make few promises. Live
up to your engagements. Keep your
own secrets, if yon have any. When
you speak to a person, look him in the
face. Good company and good CON
versation are the very sinews of virtue.
Good character is above all things else
Never listen to loose or idle conversa-
ton. You had better be poisoned ii
your blood than in your principles.
Your character cannot be essentially
injured except by your own acts. If
any one speaks evil of you, let your
life be so virtuous that none will be-
lieve him. Drink no intoxicating IL
quors. Ever live, misfortune excepted,
within your income. When you retire
to bed, think over what you have done
during the day. Never speak lightly
of religion. Make no haste to be rich,
if you would prosper. Small and
steady gains give competency with
TRANQUILITY of mind. Never MAY at
any game of chance. Owe no man
anything.

THE ozAR,s WILD CAVALRY.
Freaks of the Untamed Cossacks-How
they Ride and Play-HOrses that can
Mount a Table.


A Kischeneff correspondent writes :
'The Cossacks are divided into several
corps-the Cossacks of the Don, the
Cossacks of the Ukraine, the Cossacks
of the Caucasus, etc. Each Of these
divisions has chief, who is called an
ataman and holds the rank of general,
and all the Cossacks of the empire are
united under a single chief, who has
the title of the "ataman general" This
latter title always devolves upon the
hereditary grand duke. The Cossack
clothes and equips himself, and his
uniform and his horse belongs to him
SELF He wears a large, round, low
cap made of skin from Astrakan, wide
pantaloons, stuffed into his boots and
reaching just below his knees, thewhole
covered by kind of overcoat, button
ing on the back, and having three long
flaps reaching to the feet and fastened
on the full length. On his breast, to
the left and right in vertical cases, he
carries six cartridges at each side. In
his belt he carries a poignard. A bald
rick hangs from his right shoulder and
passes to the left side, where it sup
ports. long saber in a leather seab-
bard. On his back, hanging from a
bandoleer and wrapped in case made
of goats skin, he carries his rife. The
Cossack always carries in his hand a
whip, with a short lash, which he calls
kinjal. His horse is small and rather
ugly, and, though he is made Of good |
stuff his form is somewhat angular. To
form an idea of the Cossack saddle,
imagine an ordinary saddle upon which
would be fastened by strap square
leather cushion about four inches high.
This is the reason that attirst sight one
is so much surprised to see this curious
looking cavalier perched up so high on
his saddle. He sticks on his horses
back by sticking his knees into the ami

murderous became their fire. As they
came upon the earth fortifcations then
columns were massed closer and closer
The Turks now saw that the Russian
attacks were irresistible; that they
would soon have to take recourse tc
the bayonet and engage in hand tc
hand conflict. At the sight Of this the
Turkish infantry wavered. Whole
regiments threw their arms away and
took to fight. The artillerists, how
ever, kept to their posts, but most Of
them were killed at their guns. 9th
ers abandoned their batteries without
even spiking their magnificent guns.
The city of Ardahan is, however, di-
vided into two by the River Kura. On
the right bank, now made secure, are
the mansions Of the rich, the palace Of
the pasha, the hospital, barracks and
the powder magazine. The other part
of the city, with the citadel, warehouses
and number of government and 9TH
er public buildings, lies on the left
bank. Two bridges connect the two
parts of the city. As the Russian col
umns came over, the citadel poured a
terrific fire into their ranks, causing
severe losses. But regiment after reg
iment rushed across the bridge, and
moved up to the citadel. The garri-
son became panic stricken, and left the
poor artillerists to their own fate. In
the meantime the garrison that had
run away from the other part of the
city were seen to cross the second
bridge. The Cossack artillery sent a
few shells among them, and hundreds
Of Turkish soldiers were thrown from
the bridge into the water and drowned.
Fifteen minutes later a regiment
from Tifis took possession ofthe second
bridge, thus cutting off the enemy re-
treat. AT that moment the most re-
markable episode ever witnessed in
warfare occurred. Whole Turkish
battalions threw their arms away and
jumped into the water, so as to save
their necks by swimming. But even
there the Russians were ready. They
fired at the swimming Turks from the
bridge and killed them while in the
water. A large number who had ta-.
ken refuge in the hospital and in the
barracks continued firing from the up
per stories of these buildings upon the
advancing Russians, but hesoldiers of
the Tifis regiments soon overpowered
them also. The cavalry was now sent
to the front to pursue the fugitive
army. The infantry closely followed
them. A street fight of considerable
next engaged the attention
of the combatants; but the Turks were
fleeing fast, and quiet was soon re
stored, the cavalry pursuing the Turk
ish fugitives some eight miles outside
the city, where everybody tried to save
himself the best way he could. As
darkness fell upon the city the cavalry
returned to the town with an immense
of prisoners.
The commander-in-ehief, Louis Mel
ikof, who led the general assault in
person. entered the city Immediately
after his troops had occupied it. The
streets were literally covered with the
dead bodies of Turks. Not only those
who had fallen during the assault, but
also of those who had been killed dur
ng the terrible bombardment two days
previous. Everywhere abundant evi-
hence was found that the enemy be-
came panic stricken and abandoned all
dea of a glorious resistance.
