Never too Late to Learn.

Socrates, at an extreme old age, learned
to play on musical Instruments.
Cato, at 50 years of age, learned to study
the Greek language.
PlutarCh, when between 20 and 50, COM
menced the study OF Latin.
Eoccaccto was 30 years of age when he
commenced his studies In light literature;
yet he became one of the greatest Masters
OF the Tuscan dialect-Dante and Plutarch
being the other two.
Sir Henry Spelman neglected the sci
ences In his youth, but commenced the
study OF them when he was between 80 and
so years of age. After this time he became
most learned antiquarian and lawyer.
Dr.. Johnson applied himself TO the Dutch
language but few years before his death.
Ludocico MonoldescO, at the great age
OF ll0, wrote the memoirs OF his own
times.
Ogilby, the translator OF Homer and Vir-
gil, was unacquainted with Latin and
Greek till he was past 80.
Franklin did not fully commence his
philosophical pursuits until he reached his
j0th year.
Dryden in his G8th year commenced the
translation of the Had his most pleasing
production.
We could go on and cite thousands of
examples of men who commenced q new
study, either for livelhood or amusement
at an advanced age. But every one famil-

The Meaning OF Greenbackism.

What does greenbackism, as a distinct
political force, mean: Not merely pre-
serving and maintaining the gfeeuback as
our daily currency, for this the country al.
ready has and is sure OF Not making II
the best greenback. for this Is accomplis he'd
by resumption, which makes il as good as
the best coin. Not making il worth all Il
profes-es to be worth and giving Il fixed
aud unchanging value, for this is secured
By assuring its redeemability
If gIeeubackism meant this, If il meant
support OF the true and best greenback
there would be no call for any distinct
greenbach party. There Is no opposition
10 such greenbackism. The greenback Is
the nations promise Of 8 dollar. IL IS a
sound. true greenback when it il as good
as the real dollar. has been deprecated
and uncertain. shining about in value and
disturbing all business calculations, be-
cause its redeemability was not secure. 10
say that greenback which Is worth only
eighty or ninety cents, and which goes up
to-day and down 10 morrow is as good as
the greenback which Is worth hundred
cents and which is as steady as the coin it
self. is 10 say what Is palpably absurd. We
would make IL worth all it claims to be
worth. Ii what is wanted is the best cur
rency and plenty OF il, the true thing to do
is to make the greenback the full equiva-
lent OF coin. and add the coin as well as the
paper 10 the volume OF circulation. Under
Republican management. the country has
steadily advanced tow ards this result. The
greenback is better to-day than ever be-
fore. The whole volume OF currency has
largely increased in value. Republican
policy would make 1t the very best dollar
for dollar everywhere. and as iull as paper
and coin could make il.
This i. intelligent. rational and sound
greenbach ,m; but that which assumes the
name aud misleads men means something
entirely different. IL means that. without
being made good at all, the greenback
shall be poured forth in unlimited issue.
Ii means that all idea of making it redeem
able shall be discarded. 1t means that in
stead of becoming equivalent to coin it
shall be deprecated and deprived of all
stability. 1t feeds itself upon the vain
hope that the reality of money can be
counted out of the fiction of an irredeema-
bic promise. and that solid prosperity can
be built upon the airy foundation OF a
broken pledge. If greenbackism signfied
simply the best use of the greenback, there
would be no need of a distinct party, for a
Republican party assures il. II can mean
nothing else but an unlimited issue with
out provision for redemption. In other
words, it means imitation and reputation,
and they mean untold disgrace and disas-
ter.
This broad distinction between the true
and the false, this plain exhibit of what
the false involves needs to be strongly and
constantly enforced. There is unquestion-
ably wide delusiOn on the subject. Many
honest men do not realize the full import
and dangers of course which presents its
fascination. But with brave, earnest. in
telligent, honest discussion the appeal to
public honesty cannot be in yain.-Albany
Journal.

A DIsTINCTIoN.-Satur afternoon a
young man OF about twenty, nearly envel-
oped in linen duster, was wandering
through the Detroit City Hall with his
Mary Ann, and he was several times over
heard to say;
Mary, Id die for you--would Tor a
fact
After seeing the various rooms, he left
her on the steps while he hunted around
Tor place To buy soda-water. In crossing
the street he was run into by a velocipede,
and he got up yelling like an Indian. The
officer on duty at the hall, ran down and
asked if he was hurt.
"HuIt! I'm all mashed to kindings :"
was the reply.
But heard you say you were willing
to die for the girl in the gray dress up
there"

around on one leg. II want you to under

LITTLE EARS HEAR.-Parents and oth-
er persons, though having ut heart the
good Of children, are very apt to be heed
less OF what they say in the presence OF the
young ones, whose minds and hearts catch
the hue OF every sentiment expressed.
They talk on, and the child Is seemingly
engaged in it its play, but words and state
ments then made come up days after, when,
perhaps, they had forgotten the conversa-
ton, wonderfully fresh from the child's
lips. It's mind has been resolving what 1t
heard for good or evil Boys grow old too
fast by hearing men at their talk among
themselves. Says writer; "lf We stop
ped to think how every word spoken in the
presence OF little child affects Its future,
for good or evil, we would be far more
conslderate in our speech. 1t is astonish-
ing how, for days. children will ponder
over a careless word or sentence which no
one supposed they had even heard, and at
some critical moment use it themselves,
with startling and horrlfyng effect, How
an impatient, petulant word shocks US,
coming secondhand from those innocent
lips. Then, alas! we see and deplore It's
real deformty, and realize how potent Is
our influence over these observant iuno-
cents, not only at all times, b1t at every
moment of time in which they are in our
presence. - Calender.

towns, and also beet-sugar and cheese fac
tories. The starch factories are among the
best In the United States. The people
seem to possess spirit of energy which is
not SO manifest in other portions of the
state. They make everything tell, and
their means of labor are frst-class.
The North Aroostook Fair has been held
for two days at Presqus Isle, which brought
together large numbers of people, aud
many proofs of their industry and thrift
were displayed. At the same time the Ed
itors of the state were in attendance SO
that the few days, taking all into consider
alton, were quite lively. 1t was twenty
years ago that their former visit occurred,
and they affirmed that the progress made
during that time is exceedingly marked.
The members OF the State Agricultural So
ciety are soon expected to meet here.
The people 10 this vicinity are very in-
telligent and refined. Their churches and
schools rank high. Upon the whole /
should judge it to be a county eminently
desirable to live In, and without doubt it
will attract many settlers.
Presque Isle is small but very pretty
village. There are two churches, Baptist
and Congregationalst, high school, and
other public buildings. The lumber busl-
ness is quite extensively carried on by the
means Of the Aroostook river which flows
through the centre of the town. Main
street running north and south presents q
graceful appearance lined with various ed
lfces, while just back from the street are
beheld trim lookin. residences. "Presque
Isle Hotel stands out as a prominent
building. 1t was the great pleasure of the

course from the Editor OF Zion's advocate

Mr.. Editor:
1t has been my privilege to stop in this

England for few weeks, and perhaps it
may be of some interest to your readers to
know what is being done by the people in
this vicinity.

time they are as green as in summer. The
harvesting is rapidly going on, and the
crops are coming in sbundantly. 1t is
nothing uncommon for some of the best
farmers to raise two or three thousand
bushels OF potatoes, fifty of beans, two or
three hundred of buckwheat and the same,
or greater amount of wheat per annum,
while the other grains are extensively cul-
tivated. The potatoes are used chiefly for
making starch. Factories for that purpose

The Errors Of Socialism

professor ". g. sumner in Scribner for october
The projects of the socialists are based
on the dogmas that man is born free aud
good, when he Is. in fact, born helpless
and good or bad. as he works out his des-
tiny; that tue responsibility for vice and
crime i on society, when, in truth, il Is in
the individual; that nature meets men t
the outset with gratuitous bounty, which
some appropriate to the exclusion Of 9TH
ers, when, in fact, nature holds back every p
thing, and surrenders only to force and la
bor; thai man is born endowed with nat
ural rights, when, in truth, nothing can
be affirmed universally OF the state OF man
by nature save that he Is born to struggle
FOR his own preservation, with nothing but
the family TO help him, and nothing but
liberty. or the security OF using his own
energies Tor his own welfare, as talr claim
upon his ielIow-men; that work is pleas
ant, or, under some circumstances, might
be so, when in truth, work l. irksome
that men universally may be made. by
some conventional agreement or sentiment
tai impulse, TO work for others to enjoy the
product. or to save in order to give away;
that they may be led universally 10 lay
aside talents. health, and other adyaut-
ages; that we can increase consumption
and lessen production. yet have more that
all have an equal right TO the product of
some; that talents are the result of chance.
which intelligence ought TO correct. when,
In truth, talents are the reward, from gen
eration To generation, Of industry, temper
ance, aud prudence; that the passions need
no control, and that self-denlal is a vice.
This /. the socialistc creed, and from it
follows that a man has "A ''natural right"
to whatever he needs; that his wishes are
the measure OF his claims on his fellow
men; that. il he is in distress. somebody Is
bound To get him out; that somebody
ought To decide what work every one
should do, regardless OF aptitude; TO dis
tribute the products equally, regardless OF
merit, and to determine consumption, re-
gardless OF taste or preference. As this
"some one" must be pure despot, or, in
fact, god, all socalistic schemes annihi-
late liberty. Most of them are atheistc,
and reject any ether god than the 'uaster
OF society.

The Central Baptist has heard Of a
marvellous thing. The tact ought to be
verified by unimpeachable testimonials,
with name, place, date, and all other fit
authenticatiOns:
''We see in late paper an account Of q
gentleman who had given S25 5,0OO toward
building a new church, and when they
went to him to know his preference for a
pastor, he said, Il am bat one member of
the church. Get the man who will be best
suited to build up the church and advance
the cause OF Christi and he utterly re-
fused to intimate his choice, lest it should
unduly influence the church. If we knew
who that man is, we should send for his

leading spirits nowadays, that we would
give something to see real genuine speci-

But As they kiss whose hearts are wrung,
When hope and fear are spent,
And nothing is leit TO give, except
sacrament
First of the three my darling,

We have hurt each other often:
We shall again.
When we pine because we miss each other
And do not understand
How the written words are so much coldei

Hiss thee, dear. for all such pain
Which We may give or take;
Buried. forgiven. before II comes
For our loves sake 4!
The second Kiss. nv darling.

We have blessed each other always;
We ALWAYS will.
We shall reach until we feel each other.
Past all Of time and space;
We shall i stem till we hear each other
In every place;
The earth is full Of messengers.
which love sends to and fro;
kiss thee. darling. to- all joy
Which We shall know
The last Kiss, oh. nv darling.

The khediye AbdicatpS.

The New York Times states that the
khedive OF Egypt has ab,iicated his power
as ruler. and his place is filled by Nuber
Fasha-the khedive restoring all his es-
tates to the State. Thus has fallen great
man of the East, who las overwhelmed
himself aud his nation BY sheer profigacy
and prodigaity. FROM being the richest
mar in the world he has been reduced to
comparative poverty under extravagance
and shrinkage in values. His fortune has
gone. and with it his political power. In
truth, the khediye is not the best example
OF public or private lite, and has fallen a
prey to his own follies and eXcesses. AS
long ago as 1875 he was represented as a
poor man of vast and heaviy-incumbered
estates. He then owned 100000 acres of
land. which was about one-tenth of the
cultivated soil of Egypt. He then owed
S25 600 900 on this estate, at ten per cent.
interest. besides an enormous floating debt.
The hard times pinched him until he was
forced to sell his shares in the Suez canal,
which had sunk for him sS7, 500, 900, of
which he received from England $40, ,000,-
600.
The successor OF the khedive is Chris
tian, and was removed from the ministry
three years ago because he insisted upon
certain reforms which were not palatable
to the old Turkish party. He lis western in
all his ideas, and versed in European pol
itcs and modern finances Washington

"A new industry has lately been dis
covered in New York. A gentleman riding
down town in q horse car the other day
noticed a respectable looking man who es-
cOrted drunken companion to the car.
and, after seeing him safely slowed away,
with a timid passenger to lean against,
returned to the sidewalk. Going up town
in the evening by the same route, the gem
tipsy person and prop him up on the rear
platform, all the seats being taken. How
much do you want?" said the drunken
man. Fifteen cents,' was the answer.
The money was paid; and the pilot re-
turned to his post, to watch, no doubt, for
another job.
