The Life to Come.
Ianes Freeman Clarke.


Ii we were able to look into the great
world beyond, we might repine at being
obliged to remain here SO long. Just as God
has placed great CULTS of space between the
planets, so that the inhabitants OF each shall
only know the affairs of its own globe, He
has also placed gulf between this world and
the future life. Thus, He makes it our duty
to think, not of dying. but of living; not of
the hereafter, but of here; not of the world
to come, but of the world that Ii. Every day
we are to prepare, not for death, but for life;
for If we live well and wisely here we may
certasnly trust God rs to our hereafter.
This, however. 1 think we may say, that
death, when 1t comes. must be considered
not bad thing, but good thing. Since
the Almighty sends death to every one of
His creatures to whom He has given life,
SINCE death is as universal as life, death must
be q blessing as well as life. Some great
advantage must be connected with this event
which we call death. 1t is made fearful
when we look forward to il from a distance,
that we may not too rashly seek it,
before we have had enough of the discipline
of this world. But when it comes il usually
is welcome; it may be that when we look
back upon it from the other world, we shall
smile to think that we should ever have
been afraid of 1t. This also we know of the
other world: That it lie created by the same
Being who has made this world. it is another
mansion in the house of our Father. Con-
slider, then, what He has done for US here, if
you wish to know what He Will do for us
there. If there is infinite variety in this
world-day and night, sleep and waking
changing seasons, flowers and trees. lakes
and rivers, mountains and plains vast
fora and fauna-then there will, no doubt.
be an equal or greater variety there; for
surely the Creator has not exhausted Him
self in making this world. There as here.
there will be beauty for the eye and ear ;
problems for the intellect to investigate; /;
work to do, full of utility; society, inter
course, affection; the power of progress, the
sight OF goodness and greatness above us to
aspire to and reverence. There will bs
enough to ponder, enough to do, and enough
| to love.

ROLAND, who was unable to speak English,

Finally he told his story to Frenohman

CORRESPONDENT very naturally calls at
tention to the tho common practice INDUCED
in by residents of st. Paul,in sending abroad
for articles of use and consumption. People
who rely on st. Paul to support them are
very ready to take the money which they
make in St. Paul and spend it abroad. Not
because they save anything but because they
are snobbish enough to think it is tony. In
stead of being a matter of economy it is
generally matter of expense, for as a rule
these tony people pay more in Chicago and
New York than the price asked by st. Paul
dealers for exactly the same article. 1t is
time to inaugurate war of reprisals, and
the people who give st. Paul merchants and
manufacturers the cold shoulder and 60 east
for their purchases should be repudiated at
home, left without business and be told to 60
for their support to the cities where they
spend their money. Let them either mend
their ways or leave the community.

We should like to have the st. Paul
traitors who are serving Bill King,
inform US how much better tho management
was in the hands Of Bill King and Charley
Clarke last year. The Minneapolis society
came out moro than twice as much in debt
as the State Fair at st. Paul, and the excuse
for holding any fair there at all tho present
year is to redeem the mortgaged land on
which the fair is located. If there was mis-

It certainly looks strange that the discov-
cry should be made at this lato day, as stated
in the Pioneer Press of Monday, of the elm
possibility of holding successful State Fair
at st. Paul until hephysical difficulties aris
ing from the lack Of adequate railway trans
portation facilities are removed" We have
known successful State Fairs to be held
where there were no railway facilities at all.
Indeed, we remember that a very successful
Territorial Fair was held in Minnesota as
early as 1857. And it also seems strange
that il the State Agricultural Society
should decide to hold its next
fair at st. Paul with all the facts before
them. It looks very much like clean ''sell
OUT to Bill King by the PSone en- Press; and
We would suggest that if St.Paul is ready to
tamely submit to the browbeating of Bill
King Cfor the Minneapolis fair is nothing
more than private enterprise of Bill King
to make money for himself,) the people OF
the State should quietly decide to give both
fairs the go-by, and take rest until the
State society can be taken out of the clutches
of few selfish cormorants on the one hand
and coterie of cravens and towards on the
other hand. The people Of the State must
become thoroughly disgusted at this con-
tinual making our State fairs mere foot balls
foE st. Paul and Minneapolis.

THE STACY FILLER,

The more the Stacy filler is investigated
the greater the fraud on the farmer which is
developed. The only thing which is solialy
claimed for it is uniformity, That is, if it
swindles farmer out of good crop Of
wheat at one time, it will repeat the same
swindle, on the same wheat, as often as the
opportunity is offered. This is the blessing
of uniformity.
Mr.. Stacy is, naturally, interested in push
ing his filler, and, naturally again, insists
that it is reliable instrument. He cannot
and does not deny that it fills
