graveyard, inst at hand, to commit to
memory the solemn epitaphs and medi-
tate upon death-the most frequent
subject of his little folks meetings. Oi
a similar spirit was that man who told
his boy, as an inducement to virtue and
excellence, that if he would be good
boy all day he would take him on the
morrow to see his grandmother's grave.
There has been altogether too much
cherishing of the idea that good boys
must think a great deal about graves.
Thank God, we live in an age when the
sunlight of Christianity is no longer
shut out of our homes and churches;
when the gravestones are neither seen
in nor around our churches; when foun-
tains sparkle before themi when flowers
adorn the pulpit, and when jubilant
strains sometimes, though not as often
as we would desire, are heard from the
grand organ; when sometimes the songs
of birds are heard among the flowers on
anniversary day; when Windham and
China have given place in the Sunday
school to such hymns as, ,...
lam so glad that our Father in Heaven
Tells Of His love in the book He has given;
and when it is not considered worthy of
confession or penitence for one to smile
sometimes in church. f.L "
Among the many joys of home and
society that are given to us, religion IS
the king,jOU, and as king should rule
over all joys and subordinate them to
himself. '.t
Nearly all principles in regard to
pleasure may Ee concentrated into two
sentences: 'Nothing is true pleasure
that is not pleasant to remember;" and
"a good time does not 90 off with the
having" Since we are beings of mem
ory, it does not pay to 60 into any
pleasure that is pleasant only in the
act, since it may come back to us at
future times in memory with bitterness
and suffering. Joseph's brethren had
momentary joy, since revenge is
sweet" >" when they sold their brother
into slavery, and got rid of rival; but
again and again in after years that act
came back to their memories with ut
ter bitterness, to teach them and us
that nothing is true pleasure that is not
pleasant to remember.
On the other hand, Job INDUCED in
the pleasure of doing good-helping
the orphan and the widow; and these
good times did not 60 off with the hay
ing, for afterward, in his pains and
he called them back to men,
ory, and said, "When the eye saw me,
then it blessed me; when the ear heard |
me it gave witness unto me, for ] was
a father to the fatherless, and made the
widows heart to sing for joy"
Religion. then, sends two messen-
gers to win the young to its ranks.
Duty comes and says: "You ought to
be Christian, " and Conscience echoes
the call, and side by side with duty
comes Joy, saying, ''In Christian life
there is fullness OF joy on earth, and
in its right hand pleasures forever
more. ."-Rev. W. H. Crafts IN Chicago

POLITICAL BREVITIES.


BG~The Morey forgery stands con-
fessed. "HUnt the rascal down. Don't
dodge so, BamUm,
BCiE- Mr.. Tilden win enter upon a
'feeble'' period now, which will possi-
bly, continue till 1884.
BGr''Less liquor at the cross roads
and more hemp at the county seats" is
the latest good advice to the South, fur
nished by Southern paper.
R1~H Indians were eligible for Office
what good Democratic Congressman
those two Sioux chiefs, Buil-Head and
Don't-KnOw-HOW, would make.
BS~ 1t does notmake much difference
whether the Democracy began the new
year with a set of good resolutions or
not The outcome will be the same
either way-blunders,
BG~Is there a man named Allen G.
Thurman in the United States SenateP
A Senator of that name is credited to
the State of Ohio, but If he is present
he openeth not his mouth Perhaps he
spends his days in silent review of his
fine collection of political blunders;
there are enough of those to keep him
busy and quiet.-M Y. Tribune.
RGE~ gTssth confesses that the Morey
letter was forgery, and that it was
''impOsed upon" to publish it as gen
uine chiefly by the representations of
certain members of the Democratic
Committee. Barnum says he was ''im-
posed upon" also. 1t is really doing a
great wrong to permit such guileless
persons as Barnum and the publisher
of Truth to go about in wicked New
York unprotected. Neither one of them
81 able TO recognize bold, bad man
when he sees one.
BSy@ The Democrats threaten that if
Congress does not adopt particular
programme of exercises for the count
ing of the Electoral vote, the Demo
cratic Representatives will run out of
the chamber while the work is going
on, and then they ask: How are you
going to have a President at alp" They
are always about to break the clock ii
you do not let them wind it up, and set
it by their old bull s-eye watches of the
last century. They will just set fire to
the house unless you give them the
key to the pantry containing the jam.
They will do all sorts of disagreeable
and destructive things unless they are
smoothed down. They are like the
boy who said to his new nurse: FI am
one of those little boys that have to be
ruled by kindness, and if you don't give |
me some more candy Til kick you on
the shin" Or, they are like the young
woman who was always allowed to have
her way, as the only safeguard against
her carrying out her threat that if she
was thwarCed she would disgrace the
family. .-NQtiOnay Republican,

A Mans Life Saved by a Feather Bed.

"A LIVELY fraeas occurred recently,
at Silver Star, between man named
Frank Rodgers, well known in Butte, and
u teamster, whose name could not be
asoertained. 1t appears that the two
men were engaged in playing poker,
when q hot dispute arose about the deal,
Rodgers pulled six-shooter and, holding
it up against the body of the freighter,
told him to "give up that money" The
latter, though not apparently alarmed,re-
quested Rogers not to shoot him down
like dog, when he was told to go and
heel himself and to " come back a-shoot-
in'.n The teamster left the house and
Rogers retained his seat, ready for war.
In q few moments Rodgers happened to
glance toward the door, which was part
" open, and was considerably alarmed
to see double-barreled shotgun point-
ed at him, the teamster behind it with
fire in his eye. Rodgers made a jump for
the back door leading into a bed-room
and was closely followed by his enraged
foe. The room being somewhat dark,
and the bed not having been made up,
the teamster mistook the clothes, which
were lying in a heap, for Rodgers, at
whose supposed body he blazed away
with both barrels. The room was at
once filed with smoke and feathers,
and after the excitement had in meas
ure subsidized, some men entered the
apartment, intending to bring out all
that was mortal of the victim. They
were considerably surprised, however,
to see Rodgers emerge from beneath the
bed alive and unhafmed. 1t appears
he had wisely concluded to take refuge
under instead Of on top Of the bed, and
to his foresight in the matter he owes
the preservation of his life, The above
are the particulars Of the case as near as
they can be ascertained; whether they
are absolutely correct or not we are not
advised. -rBatte (Montana) Miner.
