HE Rev. J. A. Merrill of Prescott, publishes the following in the Miner: EDITOR MINER:-During a resi- dence of nearly two years in Prescott, l have paid no attention to false state. ments made in newspapers, but the ar ticle published in yesterdays Enter prise concerning Dr. Jackson of Colo rado, is so manifestly untrue that I cannot let 1t go to the world unnoticed. l thank you for assuming as you did, that the telegram from Silver City was false. Those who met Dr. Jackson two years ago, know that the statement attributed to him was tortured or alto gether untrue. He has had charge of all the Missionary work of the Presby- terian church in Colorado, New MeXi. co, Arizona, Utah, Idaho and Wyo- ming for many years, and is looked upon as one of the ablest men in the church. Does any sane man believe that the epithets applied to hlm in yes terday's Enterprise are true? The fact in the case is just this: You received a telegram manifesJly false, and in commenting upon it, said, We can not believe that he said anything that would bear any such construction as that placed upon it in the dispatch" ," The Enterprise received the same dis patch, and on so false an assumption proceeded to brand Dr. Jackson as al "despicable liar," Reverend idiot" perjured ass" etc.
 Is it not about time for such iourn- alism to cease in Prescott? The ami mus of the whole article is revealed in the general remarks made at the close. l make this statement in justice to a man who is far away, and therefore has no opportunity to defend himself.

the air." was written at least twenty years
after he had given his heart to Christ. The
more closely any of us endeavor to live the
life of holiness, the more constant will be the
struggle to prevent any iniquity from having
dominion over us. The chief danger comes
from the unexpected quarters. Open op-
position seldom does a Christian any harm (;
1t oftener fans his zeal into warmer glow,
and rouses his devotion to higher pitch.
Ii is from the stedhhy, silent marches OF the
enemy that the chief danger comes. We
imagine that the enemy was annihilated.
But like the Philistines which lowered on
the frontiers of Israel, and though often de-
feated, were continually stealing over the
border again, so sin survives every defeat it
receives. God permits all this to keep us
watchful and to teach us our utter depend
ence upon him. Yesterday we had set
to" with an unruly temper, and felt 80
ashamed of its outbreak that we said This
shall be the last time that this besetting sin
ever gets the upper hand" But tomorrow
the provocation will come again from an un-
looked for quarter, and the battle must be
fought over again. So we must begin to-
morrow with the prayer, Let not this sin
gain dominion over me-" Sensual appetites
have this same characteristic also, that they
are never destroyed entirely. When we
dream that they are dead, they are merely
sleeping. John b. Cough says that the idea
that conversion annihlates the physical
appetite for drink" is absurdly false. 1t is
equally absurd that conversion annihilates
any other foe to spiritual life. True con
version does a better thing for US than that
it arms us with grace to vanquish the foe as
often as he attacks us. The true time to
strike the enemy is the very first moment we
discover him, before he has got into the
citadel Theodore l.. Cuyier.

The Voice OF the Sabbath.

What message do our Sabbath days
bring to us To those who toll all the week
long the light of the Lords day seems farer
and fresher than that Of any other. A per-
son at Newcastle who had house to let
took an applicant for it to the top of his
house, spoke of the distant prospect and
added, ave can see Durham Cathedral on
a Sunday" "On Sunday" said the listener,
land pray, why not on Monday 7"
Why said he, " because on the weekdays
great furnaces and pits are pouring forth
their smoke and we cannot see so far; in.
deed we can scarcely see at ALI but when
the fires are out our view is wide" Is not
this true symbol of our Sabbath-days
when we are in the Spirit The smoke of
the world no more beclouds the heavens and
we see almost up to the golden gates. Such
days do speak, indeed, and tell us OF the rest
which remaineth. They sing in our ears
with soft and gentle voice, and tell us that
we shall not always need TO bow like galley.
slaves, tugging at the oar of this worlds
work, but may even now look up TO the
place where our home awaits us, and the
weary are at rest. These peaceful Lords
days call US to the top of Shemir and Her
mon, whence we may view the land of oul
inheritance. They cry to us, "Come NJ
higher" They beckon us to commune witt
him whom, though now we see him not
yet believing, we rejoice with JOY unspeak
able and full of glory" All days speak, bu
Sabbath days speak best--they are orator.

days of the Son of Man, these have ange

The Uses Of Evil.

Happiness and misery are only relative
terms. Absolute happiness cannot exist any
more than magnetic needle with only one
pole. The sick man who rises for the first
time for weeks from bed of pain and is
led out into the sunshine is very happy
while the strong man who has not known
sickness for years is unhappy for some slight
indisposition which scarcely interteres with
his daily work. Why this difference Sim
ply from the contrast with the previous con-
dition. He who would enjoy must suffer.
The lives of some people pass SO smoothly
that we count them happy. They are sim
ply in the possession of something whose
value they have never known, hence it is to
them worthless. If you want TO know the
full value of clear conscience you must go
through the hands of remorse. If you want
to know the comfort of owning two shirts
at a time, you must know the discomfort OF
owning no shirt at a time Whence comes
the pleasure we feel from our progress in
knowledge? From the difference between
the knowing and the not knowing of any
thing. Take the happiness that comes from
social position in life. 1t arises from the
fact that we are higher up than some one
else. Bring all to the same level and it would
be enough to'make al, angel weep to see how
much happiness some people would lose.
Many would be bankrupt. Take the tramps
and yagabonds out OF society, aud the whole
fabric would be cut down one story; for, to
change the figure, they put one more round
into the ladder-it matters not that it is al
the bottom-and give the climber chance
to go one round higher. 1t is the length OF
the ladder that counts, no matter where the
bottom is placed. What are wealth aud
poverty? Only relative terms. There is
none SO rich as the poor boy who has just
received his first dollar after week OF hard
work. We waste a great deal OF pity OH
those who are born in the humber ranks Of
life. 1t is my Impression that, on the whole
it is better to be born poor, and work you
way up to wealth aud honor, than to hav,
wealth and honor thrust upon you at birth
even though retained through lile.-PopuidI

The Blacksmith's Discovery.

Six hundred years ago there was in Bel
gium poor man. named Houillos lie was
"a blacksmith, aud his forge was at a little
village near Liege. Charcoal cost so much
that the poor fellow could scarcely make
money enough TO give his wife and children
food TO eat. Oitentmes it happened that,
work as he might, night would come down
and find the man tired, the children crying
from bitter hunger, and not "a bit to eat III
the house. Bad AS matters were when he
had work to do, they grew worse when he
had none. In despair one day, the smith
was at his forge. lie had made up his mind
that it was OF no use for him to try to live
any longer, aud evil thoughts had just
tempted him TO kill himself, when a very
old man with white beard entered his
shop. Houillos did not know him, nor
whence he had come, but he began to talk
to him, and TO tell him all his troubles and
how he always worked hard, blowing the
bellows himself TO save expense, and yet
could not make money enough to keep his
children from starvation, because charcoal
was so dear. The old man with the white
beard felt so sorry for the horseshoer, that
he began to cry Then he. frightened up
suddenly aud said, My friend you go to
the neighborng mountain, dig up the
ground and you will find veins of a hard

Beware!


1t is related of gentleman in India that
he went into his library one day and took a
book from the shelves. As he did so, he
felt a slight pain in his finger like the prick
OF pin. lie thought that pin had been
stuck by some careless person in the cover
Of the book. But soon his finger began to
swell and then his arm, then his whole body,
and in few days he died 1t was not a
pin among the the books, but small and
deadly serpent. Beware there are many
serpents among the books of to-day. You
may not see them, but still they coil beneath
the flowers aud foliage of fascinating lit
erature that is thrown out from an ever
working press. You may not feel their
poisonous fangs but your children, charmed
by the plot of the story, may be led on to
the fatal spot, where they shall not only feel
the sting, but wrthe by reason of its deadly
poison. All when ths light of eternity
shall reveal the record of ruined souls, OF
how many will it be truly said, "Poisoned
by the serpents among the books"
