MISCELLANY.

the dongs of rings, the bribery practised by
lobbyists and the pePversion of financial
trusts by men who have stood high in the es-
teen of their fellows. 1t is, however,
great mistake to suppose that men in old
times were any better than they are now. In
many points of morals and manners there has
in fact been marked improvement during the
present century. Literature is purer I;
there is less drunkenness in respectable cir
cles, and general intelligence is greatly in
creased. glance at history will show that
it is not century since England, and in fact
almost the whole civilized world seemed to
be hopelessly given over to the sway of poll
teal corruption. The reader of the diary of
Samuel Pepys remembers how much use was
made of brides at the end of the seventeenth
century in England.
Our. circumstances, as people, are bad
enough, for we are suffering from the public
Generalization resulting from war but hope
is to be gained by looking forward, not back
ward, and by working, each in his place, to
bring about better times than any good "
ones that the world has ever seen. 1t is not
by looking at what man has done that we
ought to be cheered, but rather by holding
before us the possibilities of a glorious future
of political purity and national grandeur,
based upon individual integrity - Church
man.

GHARACTER.-W shall never make much
impression upon this world with our preach
ing and our religious machinery till we make
n great deal less than we now do of some
small things and great deal more than we
now do Of some great things till we get it
firmly fixed in our minds that the only really
sacred aud precious thing in the world is
character that nothing is worthy to be men,
toned among "grave dangers that does not
assail character and that nothing is of any
very great value that does not plainly tend to
the building up, in the heart and the home
and the school and the church and the state,
of sound and pure and noble character Any
organization that is doing nothing of this
sort is certainly in danger and may expect at
any time to hear the sentence "Cut it
down why cumbereth it the groundp' And
any organization, however humble, that is
surely lifting men up into purity and integ-
rty ; that is plainly helping to make the
world happier and better, need give itself no
concern about Revision Committees or the
exact rendering of Greek verbs. It's future
is secure, " for they that be wise shall shine
as brightness of the armament and they that
turn many to Righteousness as the stars for
ever and ever. Standby afternoon.

THE WAY TO SERVE RELATIONSHIP fol
lowing plan should be adopted by great
many country people having city kindred. 1t
is furnished the Kingston freeman as worthy
of public consideration
A gentleman living up the railroad having
been pestered by his relations from the city
coming to visit him every summer, told his
wife last spring that there must be a change
in things If she had to work herself half to
death during the hot weather, she might as
well get paid for it, so he meant to advertise
for boarders. The good wife acquiesced, and
the result is they have filed their house with
boarders at seven dollars a week, and the
host of relations have to 60 somewhere else to
rusticate.
"Why," said the gentleman, "my wife
don't have to work half so hard. These
boaf4efs IRE not near so particular about hav-
ing cosby ieaa as OUT relations and they act
ually help aao4n1 the house just as though it
was fun for them. Catch any of our company
doing that Not bit of it. They are always
in the way, wanting continual waiting on
and never did thing to help my wife--not
even in washing dishes. We will make this
summer nearly four hundred dollars, and it
will be clear money, for our relations would
have eaten just as much as these boarders,
besides making more work, without contribu-
ting cent.
