" Keep to the Right as the Law
DirectS.''

PERHAPS there ale some OF my young
readers who do not understand what
the above quotation refers to. But if
they will take ride into the country,
some day, they will have not gone far
before they will see a finger-board by
the road side, having these words
painted on it: keep to the right as
the law directs"
Two vehicles in passing must each
obey this rule; by SO doing, they avoid
each other, of course, for what is the
right to the one who is going, is left to
the one who is coming.
If persons did not know on which
hand those whom they meet are going
to turn aside, they might often run into
each other, so the rule is a good one
and very necessary, especially in mar
row road.
And it has even been made law.
GAS the laws directs" 1t may seem
strange that the law should have taken
notice of such a little thing as this.
But that is just what laws are for; if we
do right in small things the large ones
will take care of themselves.
The law has put this rule on the
statute-books. 1t is an offense punish
able by fine to turn out to the left,
instead of to the right.
But perhaps even those who made
this wise and useful law do not know
why they selected the right side, in
stead of the left one, as the one on
which everybody should turn aside.
Perhaps they never even thought of the
question at all. Can anv of nv Young
readers tell me, or give good guess?
Stop and think.
If you cannot, let me try. The ques-
ton is, why is the right selected in
stead of the left, to keep to? In other
words, what is the law for this law of
the road?
think it is the heart. You know
that the heart sends great torrents of
blood all through the body, from the
left toward the right. For this reason
the right hand Is the stronger. For the
same reason, no doubt, we mount our
horses from the left side. And think
it is for the same reason that we turn
to the right, and not to the left, when
we meet each other. We 90 in the di-
rection in which we are naturally borne
the most strongly by the force of the
great current that is flowing all through
the body.
1t would be good thing il we always
should keep to the right" I mean
morally, as well as physically. The
boy or girl who "keeps to the right
is the one who will make the journey of
life to the greatest satisfaction to sci
and benefit to others.
keep to the right" then. Don't
forget this sign ON the finger-board-it
may save you from many an accident
by the way. It is, in this sense. high
er law than mans, for it is Gods.
Right-going and right-doing and right
living God expects of all His sons and
daughters, whether young or old.-R.

In Suchow, China, a marked i'm
provement in the conduct of officials
towards missionaries. and, indeed,
toward all foreigners, has been one of
pleasing signs Of the year. A procla-

insulting names. One hundred copies

tiers were sent to each of the four mis-
sionaries living in Suchow, expressing
solicitude for the welfare of foreigners,
and asking for advice enabling them to
extend protection to all.

Mr.. Editor As resident Of Orleans
County, and one to whom everything
pertaining to the well being of its in
habitants is of intense interest. will you
allow me space to urge upon all tenn
perance men attendance at the meeting
held at Irasburgh. this week, for the
purpose of nominating County officers,
to see that only men IN full, thorough
and hearty sympathy with the temper
ance cause, and the perfect carrying out
Of the Prohibitory Law. are placed in
nomination. We need at this juncture,
men perfectly sound on this question.
Let it be understood that the temper
ance sentiment of the County, will not
support men not in complete harmony
with the administration of the Prohibi-
tory Law, and we shall have fewer un-
licensed selling places than we have at
present. There has been too much tri-
fling and shilly-shallying on this lmpor-
tant matter in the past, and it is time
that such conduct on the part of officials
should receive a strong rebuke from
public opinion. Yours truly,
