Heavens Attraction


We were at n railroad depot the other
day. AS the train came in full of
passengers, a man on the platform
looked anXiously into every passing
car. There were some sweet faces of
matrOns and maidens. But none of
them seemed to interest that man. His
eyes wandered still from window to
window, with a strange and hungry
look. At length plain, pale face ap-
peared. Instantly a smile of recogni-
tion and of JOY lighted up his features.
His anxiety passed away like a sum-
mer cloud and all was sunshine. He
found the face he was looking for. He
was happy at last, for she had come.
She was not as beautiful as many of
the people around her; but she was his
wife, the light Of his home. 1t had
been lonely there while she was away.
Now it would be bright again, for she
had come. That one face, that famil-
lar face, that face which had no spe-
cial attraction for any one else, was all
he sought or cared for in the crowd.
witnessing the scene, we thought of
the Christians entrance into heaven.
There will be noble forms there of
chereubim and seraphim. There will
be shining faces of saints and angels.
There will be men and women of whom
we have read on earth, and have often
wished that we could see. Adam will be
there, and Noah and David, and Isaiah.
Yet we will not care to see them then.
We will look first at all, and it may be
more anXiously. for one face; for the
face of our Beloved; for the face SO
marred; for the face that was buffetted
and spit upon, and that yet, is to us
the only face that lights up heaven and
makes it home. Oh, when the re-
deemed meets the eyes of his Redeemer.
when ne CRAPS the hand that was nailed
for him on the cross, he will know
that he is indeed in heaven, for Christ
makes it to him. Without Christ he
would languish and pine within tht
jasper wall and among the trees OF
life With Christ, the dreariest desert
would become a paradise of plenty
beauty, and joy. We may test oul
hope Of heaven by considering whom
we want to see in heaven.

An Ex-Governor ON THE MAINE
LIQUOR LAw.--Ex- Governor Lot NJ.
Morrill,, of Maine, passed through Char
lotte, N. c., recently, on his way South
for the sake Of his health. While in that
city, says the Observer, he was asked in
reference to the prohibition law in
Maine. He said that since the passage
of this law, the eycondition of the people
had immeasurably improved, mentally
socially and physically. Crime had di-
minished; intenlperance had diminished
and pauperism was a thing, unknown.
Somebody had written something about an
increase in lunacy in Maine on this &C.
count. Whoeverit was, he said must be
lunatic. No sane man who knew any
thing about it would write no such stuff.
He had several times had occasion to
traverse the State while on canvassing
tours, and to see drunken man was
rare occurrence. Some would have liquor
and drink it, but they were comparative
ly few, and these scar ;ely ever drank to
excess. He gave it as his experience
that the law was in every way bene6-
cial one, and contributed greatly to the
happiness and improvement of the peo-
pie. He only stayed several hours in the
city, arriving in the morning and leaving
on the afternoon train. A number of
gentlemen called upon him before he

ticularly of strong drinks, if they were
sweetened. For a drink of sweetea
whiskey he would attempt anything.
At one time he was promised glass of
whiskey aud sugar if he would whip
General Joor, who, in full feather, was
mastering the county militia, according
to the old manner of doing such things
annually. To obtain the promised glass,
Bill stealthily came up behind him, took
him by the hair of the head and bore
him into the dust on the street. Find
ing himself thus assailed, General Joor
drew his sword and pierced Bill through
the thigh. From this wound he never
fairly recovered. He was very agile and
fast of foot. He could climb tree with
surprising quickness, swim and manage
horse with dexterity. 1t was with him
as with child. From the time of his
capture he knew not right from wrong
until he was taught, and until his intel
lect expanded and he began to compre-
hend his true position in society he sor-
rowed over the reflection. He sickened
and died in New Orleans in the year of
1929, while in charge of gentleman
who undertook to exhibit him for money.

INSTRUCTIONS TO PAssENGERs.-When P
you get to the station, hunt. up the agent
and ask him what time the next train
goes. Never mind about telling him
which way, for he can ask you that; it
will show whether he is paying any at
tention to your question. Then ask bim
what time all the other trains come, just
to see if he knows. If you think Of it
ask if they stop, if they are freight or
passenger, and any other little things
you can think of, for you know be gets
paid for answering, questions: 1t don't
matter whether you intend riding on the
train or not. If you are tired, so aud sit
down, but do not rest longer than neces-
sary, for you have not inquired if the
road is going to change time soon, and
what time the train will 1e likely to get
through on the new card. Ask him what
time the trains run by on this road, and
how much faster that is than Chicago
time, for; be knows, and if he does not
tell it isFbecause be is suncivil. Just as
the train is. coming, and the. agent is
closing his ticket window to go out to
the train, rush up and tell him you want
ticket. Don't say anything about
where you want to go. See how near he
can guess at it. Give him $40 bill,
and after he has hurried up TO get out
his change box, if there is any silver
among it, ssy TO him: "Here, l guess
I've got the change" for this is the way
to fndf0ut his disposition. This is a
good time to tell him you have a trunk
to check. Tile world was not made in q
day, and what's the use of being in q
hurry? Put your ticket in your pocket
book and button two or three coats over
your pocket. Don't make move to get
it ready for the conductor until he asks
you for it, for he may miss you and you
would be that much ahead. Then he
has lots of time to wait, but if he hasn't
it's not your fault. During your trip, ask
the conductor all the questions you asked
the agent, for perhaps the agent has lied
to you about some Of them. If the con-
ductor answers you short, in reply to any
of your questions, it is because he is mad
at your buying ticket. He wanted you
to pay him so he could knock down the
money-for you know they all steal.

The LAST REsoRT.-A Boston lady
who had a somewhat Bachanalian spouse,
resolved to frighten him into temperance.
She, therefore, engaged a watchman, for
a sti pulated reward, to carry "Philander"
to the watch-house, while yet in state
of insensibility, and to frighten him a
little when he recovered. In conse.
quence of this arrangement, he was
walked up about eleven o'clock one night
and found himself lying on piano
bench in strange and dim apartment.
Raising himself on his elbow, he looked
around, until his eyes rested on man
sitting by the stove and smoking cigar
"Where am II" asked Philander.
"In the medical college" said the cigar
smoker.
"What am doing here?"
"Going to be- cut upp'
"Gat up E How comes that H''
aWhy,- you died yesterday while you
were drunk, and we brought your body
here to make anatomy
cts lie! I amt dead !'
"No matter; we bought your carcass
anyhow from your wife who had right
to sell it, for it's al .be good she ever
could make out of you. If you are not
dead, it's no fault of the doctors, and
they will cut you up, dead or alive"
"You will do it, hey2" asked the old
sot.
"To be sure we will-.now-immedi-
'ately."
"Well, say, look here, can't you let US
have something to drink before you r..
gin ?"

frequently forfeits her possibility of bliss
from the circumstances that she, owing
to her surroundings and sense of what is
expected of her, feigns coldness which
she is far from feeling when the man
whom she loves, while fearing to take
the final plunge, eyinces some desire to
win her favor. Many would-be husbands
hesitate. to- say, "Will you marry me ?"
only because they dread that the query
will be answered in the negative, and
they shrink from incurring what they

Men have the whole world to choose

NO TIME FOR HATING.


Begune with feud! away with strife;
Our human hearts unmating!
& Let US be friends again! This life
Is all too short for hating!
So dull the day, so dim the way,
SO rough the road we're tarlng-
Far better veal with faithful friend,
Than stalk alone uncaring!
The barren fig, the withered vine,
Are types Of selfish living; Is =
But souls that giyelike thine and mine. !.
Renew their life by giving:
While cypress waves DER early graves,
On all the way we';e going.
Far better plant, where seed is scant,
Than tread on fruit that's growing.
Away with scorn since die We must
And rest on one lo,g pillow;
( There are no rivals in the dust
No foes beneath the willow.
So dry the bowers, 80 few the flowers
Our earthly way discloses.
Far better stoop where daisies droop
Than tramp Ger broken roses!
eOf what are all the joys we hold
Computed to- joys above us!
And what are rank, and power aud gold
Compared to hearts that love us2
So fleet our years, 80 full of tears,
So closed death is waiting;
God gives Us space for loving grace,
But leaves no time for hating.
