Line love Oh MOney.~-Ine love OF
money is not a simple disposition to &C.
quire wealth. That arises from mans
power to project his thoughts into the
future and to provide for disability and
old age. tits rather commendable than
blameworthy. The Bible nowhere con-
dennis it. Indeed, in the Old Testament
we read that riches, consisting of corn
fields vineyards and olive yards were
promised those who walked in the paths
OF truth and probity. The New Tesla
ment also, though very emphatic on the
dangers of wealth, says not a word
against its acquisition by proper means,
or its possession, if rightly used
The love of money is pronounced the
root Of all evil," OF, perhaps more strictly
rendered, the root of all kinds of evil.
This is sordid thirst of gain as pos,
session merely, and not as power to be
used Tor the glory of God and the good
OF men. 1t increases with the increase
of wealth, crying more, more" like
the horse-leech and the grave. "This
disposition" says another, "becomes
first a kind OF intemperance, and then
like incompetence, it becomes disease
and finally q species OF insanity" Its
first manifestation is teaacity to hold
money; its second is to use it for no
other purpose than to increase it; its last
is to regard it only as capital to be in
vested for tie sake of its interest, and to
regard theinterest as intended only Ito
he turned agrin into capital
This disposition grows insensibly upon
person. For years, if not for life
time, he has not the slightest suspicion
that he comes under the tremendous
malediction of Paul in the sixth chapter
of his First EpistIe to Timothy. When
he discovers that some of his unchari-
table neighbors are classifying him with
the lovers of money, he deludes himself
by saying: "They are ignorant OF my
plans. When i have amassed a large
fortune, mean to endow colleges, erect
orphan asylums, support hospitals and
pour streams Of gold into the treasuryof
the Church. Under such delusion,
even good men rob- God for years and
injure their own souls
This disposition not only grows insen-
sibly, but eats up all the vitality OF the
soul. Iii cools It's warm currents and
kills It's neblest sensibilities. 1T renders
it suspicious of the value or success of
any measure Or undertaking that has not
for its end the coming of money. 1T
casts around 1t an encrnstation Of earth
that keepsit aloof from all the benign
and softening influences of society. III
clips its wings and keepsit tied down to
the dust of earth. II leaves nothing for
it to enjoy withits wealth when it has
acquired it. 1T hasconsumed everything
else.
The love of money plnnges q man into
moral eyilstofthe most destructive kind.
According TO the teaching Of the Apostle,
it exposes him to temptation. 1T tends
to make him nntrushful
The love Of money exposes a man also
to dishonesty. IL he ie q merchant, he

to take advantage of the crippled condi'
ton of the borrower, or to press toe
hard the man whom he knows to be in
his power. IF he is a real estate owner
he attempted toextort the last cent from
the poor tenant and TO Cypress even the
widow and the orphan. If he is the
manager of other mems estates, he ID
tempted to run up a long list of expenses
that are purely imaginary, for the sake
of filling his Golfers.
The man who exposes himself to

snare. Before he knows it, he finds his
foot fast in its snare. An opportunity
of realizing large sum of money opens
before him. There is the temptation
Having no money Of his own to secure
the coveted prize, he uses the means of
Others lying idle in his hands, or in the
vault to which he has access, without
their knowledge or consent, in the hope
of replacing it after securing q handsome
sum for himself. Here lie the snare. He
soon finds that his calculations were
faulty and that ruin atares him in the
face. Though he is not as sure of sue
cess the second time, yet necessity is
laid upon him to throw for the saving
prize He resorts to more desperate
measures, as false entries, perjury and
the like. But he only gets more and
more entangled, until he finds himself
beating his once generous breast against
the sides of an iron cage.
When fairly caught in the smear and
striving to extricate himself, he is liable
to fall "into many foolish and hurtful
iusts" Whilst he has possession of mo-
ney he often INDUCES in extravaganza
ina costly dwelling, expensive furniture,
sumptuous feasts, elegant equipages,
munificent presents and princely dis
plays. He easily glides from these fool
ish to hurtful lusts. AS his condition
grows desperate and dangerous, he resorts
to the Intoxicating cup to- strengthen his
nerves end brace him for the struggle.
He is led, by an awful secret he dust not
divulge to his wife, to the company of
the dissipated and reckless, and with
them goes down to the gates Of Hell.
All this beclouds the intellect, creates
suspicion as to his habits, and precipi-
tates his terrible ruin.

Make money your servant, not your
master. Never put yourself in his
power. He is good and faithful SER

master. Keep him ever as a help to carry
on the higher interests of the soul, and
to hasten the Kingdom of Christ. Give
God the full share of all you have, and
your fellow men that which they can
rightly claim.
Be Just to God and man-just, clear
down to the very depths of your soul.

Resources of Alaska.
Hartford Post.

Hartford Post.
American enterprise is demonstrating
that Alaska, which has been much
sneered at, is endowed with the solid
elements of prosperity. 1t contains de-
posts of gold, silver, copper, graphite,
lead, iron, sulphur and coal. Its waters
swarm with fish; millions of salmon OF
the finest quality frequent its inlets and
rivers, and there are halibut, Goldfish, and
its islands and coasts are the fayerite
haunts of countless seals. Its mountains
are covered with pine forests and ship
building timber, and there is prairie land
and pasture grounds near the coast. The
climate is milder, less rigid in winter
and less rainy than in the south of Scot
land. Its purchase may not turn out to
be as great piece of folly as has been
charged.
TIE first translation of any part of the
Holy Scriptures into English that was
committed to the press was the New
Testament, translated from the Greek
by William Iyndaie, with the assistance
of John Foye and William Roye, and
printed in 1896, in octave. Tyndale
published afterward, in 1880, as transla-
ton Of the five books OF Moses, and of
Jonah, in 1881, i'm octave. An English
tranalation of the Psalter, done from the
Latin of Martin Bucer, was also pub
lished at Strasburg in 1880, by Francis
Foye, in octave. And the same book,
together with Jeremiah and the 'sSong
of Moses" were likewise published in
1854, in duodecimo, by George Joye,
sometime Fellow of Petcr-house in Cam
bridge. The first time the whole Bible
appearedin English was in the gear 1 535,
in folio. The translator and publisher
was Miles Coverdale, atterward Bishop
of Exeter, who revised Tyndale's yer.
sion, compared it with the original, and
supplied what had been left luntranalated
by Tyndale. Ut was printed at Zurich
and dedicated to King Henry VIII.
This was the Bible which, by JOromwelps
injunction Of September, 1886, was Or
sdered to be laid in churches.

A Convict Who Talked.

James NJ. Steele, convicted of shoot
ing at a man, was before Judge Gaines
for sentence, at Dallas, Texas, and was
asked what he had to say. The follow
ing dialogue ensued: Steele-"I am a
gentleman, my ancestors were gentle
men, and I did nothing but what any
other gentleman would have done under
the circumstances. You have shown
me no justice" The Judge-"Shut
up" Steele-"You asked me if I had
anything to say, sir, and I have a right
to falkland I'm going to do it," The
Judge-"I didn't give you permission
to talk in that manner. In all my ex-
perience as a Judge nothing has ever
given me so much pleasure as sentenc-
ing you to the penitentiary for seven
years." Steele-"Yes, and I hope and
pray the curse of Heaven may descend
upon you, and that you will be sunk IN
to the hottest pits of hell, and I only
hope that may have the pleasure of
meeting you at some future time."

Bee Ranohing in California.

This is q famous country for bees and
the making OF honey, and at many
breakfast-table in distant Europe to-
day the waffle is spread with sweets that
have been filched from the hearts of
1000 California flowers. In the mouth
of almost every canon there is hee-
ranch or apiary, whose owner grows
indolent and prosperous from the labors
of his industrious subjects. Here there
are no long winters with dearth of
flowers, through which the patient work.
ers must be nursed and fed in order
that they may live until the opening Of
the next field-season. These bee
ranches are models of neatness and do
nestle comfort, and the profession of
Bookkeeping is rapidly becoming popu-
Lar among persons of little physical
strength or small financial capital, or
both; such as maiden ladies, broken
down ministers, bachelor students, and
those dilettanti farmers who fancy that
the royal road to bucolic happiness lies
through the fowery beds of a bee-past-
ure. Their expenses are as light as
those of hermit in his cave, and what
stores of honey are laid up are SO much
clear gain, as the bees board themselves
while they work, and work increasingly
in preparation for the winter which
never comes. When the hive is full,
the cakes of comb are removed, the
liquid is strained from the cells, and the
empty cups are replaced, to be filed
again and again. This economical pro-
cess prevents waste of labor and time
in the gathering of wax and the build
ing of new bins in the store-house.
Walking out in the morning in the
green bushwood of these canons you
hear loud and continuous buzzing of
wings, and, although there may not be
flower in sight, it is as ceaseless and
strong as in a buckwheat patch or clover
field at home. This humming of bees
is natures tenor voice, as the roaring
of water is her bass. There is cure
for inconsistencies in the bees monotone,
even though the authors thereof be per-
fectly wild, as, indeed, many of these
are. In such country you cannot feel
utterly lonesome and lost. - Sunday

The GranlDuS.

The grampus (Delphi1ea1s granepa1s)
is the most voracious Of the inhabitants
Of the ocean. It does not devour one
third CT the animals it kills. It is the
greatest enemy of the whale, and dead
bodies of whales have frequently been
found having large pieces of flesh torn
from the body, and the lips mutilated
Or destroyed. AS soon as the whale
opens its mouth to defend itself the
grampus darts at it's large soft tongue,
tears it of, and causes the death of the
animal.
It is said that the grampuses are fond
of amusing themselves by mobbing the
Greenland whale, and that they per-
secute it by leaping out of the water and
striking it sharply with their tails as
they descend. In consequence of this it
has been called the thrasher or killer.
The swordfsh is reported to join tho
thrasher in this amusement, and to
attack the whale from below toprevent
it from diving.
The grampus is from twenty to thirty
feet in length and from ten to twelve
feet in girth. It has forty-four conical,
strongly made, and slightly curved teeth,
It's color is black on the upper part of
the body, suddenly changing to white
on the abdomen and part of the sides,
and there is generally white patch of
considerable size behind the eyelid.
Although it sometimes wanders to
more southern regions, it's favored home
is in the northern seas that wash the
coast Of Greenland and Spitzbergen,
where it congregates in small herds.

The Gorilla.

A gorilla from the west coast of Al
RIGA is now lodged in the Crystal Pal
ace, London. The chimpanzee and
the orang-outang have arms that
enable them, with slight stoop, to
touch the ground, while the arm of the
gorilla is not much out of proportion to
long-armed human being. In the
form of the hands and fingers, too, it is
more like man, these being much
shorter than those of the other two.
Most of all it's ear is strikingly human,
for it is small and beautifully formed,
and instead of thin leathery flap jut-
ting outward, is set we'll in the head.
It has also well-formed brow, and it's
dark-brown eyes are lighted up with an
expression that seems to speak of latent
intelligence. In profile it has the ex-
act resemblance to a little Guinea ne.
gro, the blacklist of blacks; but, looked
at full-faced, the almost total absence
of nose, the flat and open nostrils, the
long and powerful jaws, and the vast
cavity which forms the mouth, rob it of
what is suggestive of the "humau face
divine" When standing at it's full
height the gorilla may be about two
feet, but if he lives to be full-grown he
may attain from four to five feet.

Nothing can be clearer than the
fact that if the soft-money scheme

election, the currency question will
be violently agitated next year. It
is for the interest of every business

ton upon the soft money fallacy
this fall so firmly that its advocates
cannot resurrect it. The settlement
of the financial issue is a business
