Wise Sayings of Jewish Sages.

The path of duty in this world is
the road 10 salvation in the next.
Happy is he who fears God in The

Who is powerful! lie who can
control his passions.
Who is rich. lie who is content.
cd with what he has.
Charity is the salt of riches.
Blessed he he who gives To the
poor, albeit only u penny; doubly
blessed I've he Who adds kind words
To his gifts.

do everything, Il will do nothing"

This is the penalty of the liar: he

truth.
1t is n sin 10 deceive thy fellow

Prayer without devotion is like n
body without soul.

The wicked, whilst alive, are like

A CLEVER SPOOK.

During the latter part of last month.
near Olivet, Mich, station Oh the
Chicago and Lake Huron railroad, a
we'll defined and cleverly materialised
spook made its appearance. 1t is de-
scribed as human form robed in
snowy white. and first appeared on
the railroad track, possessed of suffi-
cient tangibility to cause the engineer
of an eastward bound train to sound
the whistle and come to full stop.
A party being sent forward to recon-
hotter. observed the form to recede
while advancing toward it. and to
follow when retreating from it. To
all questions it made no answer. 1t
was ordered off the track. but refused
to go. when it was shot through the
heart. which, instead of having the
desired effect. put the spoOk into a
dancing humor. and a hornpipe was
duly heeled on the rails. Finally.
the engineer started the train, and es-
sayed to run into the spook. but il
must be remembered that spook
which could withstand bullet
through the heart. might with equal
facility endure so trivial matter As
that of being telescoped b. train OF
ears. The spook simply rose above
the engineer and his train. and escap-
ed the humiliation of transformation
to Il grease-spot.
The news Of this affair spread in
the neichborhood. and farmers and
trackmen repaired to the spot and
witnessed the spook. They were
armed to the teeth and attacked the
spook in front and rear. which. on be-
ing closely hemmed in, rose above the
scene of strife and overlooked the
poor fools of nature" from ioftier
and serener sphere. The party not
being satisfied again repaired to the
scene. when the spook appeared in
black and took his wunted position on
the track. as if to dispute their pas
sage. His long silvery locks and
snowy beard played in the breeze.
To questions, as before, he made no
answer. He smiled and retreated as
his pursuers advanced, and as before,
ON being surrounded, vanished ''but :

committee to interfere with the state
organization of the National party,
but to assist them in forming per-
feet and uniform organization. TO
this end the national committee will
furnish weekly lists of councils char
tered in each state to the executive
committee OF that state, it there be a
state organizations; and, by. the instru-
mentality of this system of councils.
secure the organization of states now
unorganized. From these local coun-
ellis the organization of counties. cities
and states will be developed as the ne
cessities of each locality may demand.
The National committee will pub
lish promptly a campaign song book,
aud it invites contributions from song
writer's. The songs should be accom-
panied by the music. or should be set
to popular airs. The committee feel,
that this crisis should bring forth
such songs as similar struggles in be-
half of human rights have inspired.
The committee urges that local or
CARNATIONS be perfected rapidly, and
that tickets be nominated in localities
where there are spring elections. A
success in city, OF town, or town
ship, or in a village, is often the key
to more important victories. The re-
cent gratifying successes of the Ma
tional party in local contests in New
York and Pennsylvania are encour-
aging to the workers in the cause
everywhere. These gains III the east
may be equalled and surpassed else
where by active and Jealous work.
The committee respectfully requests
that Greenback and Labor local or
CARNATIONS now in existence apply for
charters as National councils that the
unitication of interests secured with
such harmony and enthusiasm by the
Toledo convention may be utilized.
The national committee invites
communications from the executive
officers of all state organizations of
the National party, that there may
be cooperation and harmonious ac-
ton.
All communications should be ad-
dressed to
