Shall we Know Our Friends?

The whole human family, without ex-
ception, has developed strong desire to
know something of the other life. From
the earliest period we trace faith IN the
continuance of existence, and. however
imperfect, there is tendency in mankind
to design and believe in hereafter. and
IN one respect It is the same in all name
~, that the other life is made up of the
best thoughts Of men. If men in lower
lite described paradise, it would be state
Of feasting and of beauty; it is the high
est they know, but as you rise the images
become elevated, and lastly, coming to
the teaching Of the New Testament men q
don't believe there are cities paved with
gold; nevertheless, men feel the power Of
those images; they effect Them, though
they don't know why. Think Of it liter
ally, one gate made of one pearl don,t

Pauperism and Extravaganza.

The case. p5inaa tacie, is always against
a pauper. The accidents of life some
times cast man or women high and
dry upon the sands CT helpless poverty
but usually pauperism comes through a
lack OF the prudential virtues. It is not
always that pauper wastes his revenues
in drink or other immoralities; but some
where in his career, forty nine times in
fifty, It will be found that he has been
extravagant; that he has not exercised
self-denial under temptation; that he has
lived up to or beyond his means, or has
ventured upon risks that the lowest grade
nf business prudence would condemn.
Now who is to bear the penalty Of these
sins and mistakes? How are they to be
prevented in future, if those who commit
them, regardless of consequences, are to
be coddled ana taken care of by those
who have denied themselves and laid up
little wealth?
Good, rugged, grand old Thomas Car
lyle! 1t is refreshing to read amid the
mawkish sentimentality Of this latter day
such a healthy utterance as this from his
sturdy pen: "Let wastefulness, idleness,
improvidencc take the fate which God
has appointed them, that their opposi tes
may also Lave chance for their fate."
As it is, our philanthropists try to make
us believe that the special business of
thrifty man is not in any way to enjoy
the fruit Of his prudence and enterprise,
but to shield the shiftlcss people around
him from the results of their own impu-
dence and improvidence.--JoAn G.. Hoz-
land; Scribner for December.

that theory, he was inclined to think,

wedding there would be products as good
as there were before. The weeds he rec-
ognized were three-dishonesty, senti-

myriads of dolls and hundreds of sleds, with
names taking in the whole animal Kingdom.
The streets were crowded with fur-clad. smil-

the fair proportions Of many little stockings.
John Holland, leaving his Office earlier than

waves OF happy womanhood, carrying his
aching head little forward, Watching with
sullen eyes the Joy about him, UNI til the tide of
bitterness in his heart rose high, and forced
from his lips curse on the morrow that
