Savings Of George Eliot.

Nothing is so good as it seems before
hand.
Troubles easy borne when everybody
gives it a lift for you.
Genius at first is little more than a
great capacity for receiving discipline.
There is no sorrow greater than to love
what is great and try to reach it and yet
fail.
There's a sort of human paste that
when it comes near the fire of enthusi-
asm is only baked into harder shape.
No story is the same to us after the
lapse of time-or rather, we who read
it are no longer the same interpreters.
Every mans work pursued steadily
tends to become an end in itself, and so
to bridge over the leveless chasms of his
life.
It's easy finding reasons why other
people should be patient.
College mostly makes people like blad-
ders, just good for nothing but to hold
the stuff as is poured into them.
It's an uncommon fine thing when you
can let a man know what you think of
him without paying for it.
1t is very difficult to be learned; it
seems as if people were worn out on the
way to great thoughts, and can never
enjoy them because they are too tired.
When the commonplace "we must all
die" transforms itself suddenly into the
Il must die"-and soon, then, death
grapples us and his fingers are cruel,
afterward he may come to fold us in
his arms as our mother did, and our
last moment of dim earthly discerning
may be like the first.

The Good Results of Protection
From the Address of John W. Hinton at Mil
waukee.

From the Address of John w. Hinton at Mil
waukee.
And now, my friends, to sum up all
what has caused the marvellous success
and prosperity of this country? l think
there is but one reply. Gen. Garfield
gives US the solution, in part at least,
in his speech at the Chicago Convention
when nominating John Sherman. Speak
ing of the past he said: "0ur national
industries by an impoverishing policy
were themselves Frustrated, and the
streams of revenue flowed in such feeble
currents that the Treasury itself was
well-nigh empty" Yesl The reply is.
Protection, with judicious tariff, did
it-protectiOn to American workingmen.
mechanics and artisans-to American
industries, was the cause. Yesl COlum-
bias strong and protecting arms were
placed around our tottering, sickly, en-
feebled industries, and they soon stood
erect as with new life. AS the mother
nourishes her young offspring, so did the
Republican Government of eur country,
promote the public welfare, by guard
ing the laborers and mechanics against
unequal competition, where working
men, instead of being treated as men,
are degraded and dragged down to pau
perism or serfdom. This is what caused
our prosperity. Nobly have the work
ingmen of the country recognized the
fact. Their votes were cast in gratitude
to the party that, with jealous care,
guarded their rights in the day of their
greatest danger.

Wise Words.

To live long it is necessary to live
slowly.-Cicero.
Give neither counsel nor salt until
you are asked for it.
Advancing or resisting, we still go on
by and by to go off.
We hand folks over to Gods mercy.
but show none ourselves.
There are calumnies against which
even innocence loses courage.
Better be upright and want. than
wicked and have superabundance.
Industry need not wish, and he who
lives upon hope will die fasting.
Cant: The word of weak man al
can't) and the practice of bad man.
There is nothing in the universe that
L fear except that l may not know all
my duty or may fail to do it.
A weak mind is like a microscope.
which magnifies trifling things, but can
not receive great onces.-Chesterfe
The source of a craving vanity is Of
ten a restless modesty, that longs to hear
something better of itself than it thinks
of itself.
He who is false to the present duty
breaks a thread in the loom, and will
see the effect when the weaving of
lifetime is unraveled.
We should give as we receive, cheer
fully, quickly, and without hesitation:
for there is no grace in a benefit that
sticks to the fingers.-Seneca.
To fill the sphere which Providence
appoints is true wisdom; to discharge
trusts faithfully and live exalted ideas.
that is the mission of good men.
Men, not being able to cure death, mis-
cry and ignorance, have imagined to
make themselves happy by not thinking
of these things.-Pascal.
The happiness of your life depends
upon the quality of your thoughts there

that you entertain no notions unsuita-

THERE is a good story teld on Preach
er Mills, of Shelbyvllle. Some time ago
one of the hardest little hoodlums of
that place went to Mr.. Mills Sunday
School and seemed to be most interest
ed in his teachers talk to the class he
was in. After the lesson was over, the
preacher went to the little fellow and
encouraged him in his efforts to do right,
and said to him:
well. my young, am glad to see you
at Sunday School this morning-hope
you will come regular hereafter"
MA wants me to come every Sunday
but it won't be long till the fish will bite. "
"Do you know your catechism?"
81 don't know. l guess l can say it
"Well, let's see. Who made you? Can
you tell me?"
"On that subject 1 am little bit
doubtful. My teacher said it was God,
but grandma says am the meanest lit
tie brat i'll town-a real child of the dev-
ii, and l guess grandma knows more
about me than my teacher does-any-
how, she ought to-"

THE INDEPENDENT seeks the patron
i age of the public on three grounds, as
follows:
1st. 1t is the largest weely religious news
paper published in the world.
End. 1t employs as contributors more able
writers, at home and abroad, than any other
weekly newspaper.
3rd 1t gives its readers a wider range Of
topics and more and fuller departments than
they can find elsewhere in any journal.
The Independent consists of 80 pages, neat
ly cut and pasted. 1t is printed from clear
type 1--WE stereotype the pages weekly, and
hence, every issue is really printed with new
typel and on good paper, and mechanically
it is unexcelled.
There is no question of prominence in re-
ligion, politics, science, education, finance or
any other department of human knowledge
which the Independent does not discuss 1t
has regular departments devoted to Biblical
Research, Missions, Religious Intelligence,
Book Reviews and Literary News, the Sun
day School, Education, Science, Sanitary
question, Fine Arts, the movements of Min
listers, Personalities, News of the Week,
Financial and Commercial matters, including
Weekly Prices Current, Market Reports,
Cattle Market, Dry Goods Quotations, Flow
ers and Farming, and Insurance. In its re-
ligious department it gives news and statistics
of all denominations of Christians, everys
where In fullness, accuracy, and conipre-
hensiveness this department is unequaled.
Several pages of stories and poems adapted
to Old and Young are given every week, with
a column of Puzzles.
From time to time Sermons by eminent
ministers are published. The current topics
of the day are discussed in our editorial
columns freely and vigorously. We are not
afraid to state our opiniods.

The Langua ge Of Gloves.

The following is said to be the Ian
guage of the gloves:
"Yes," is said by letting one glove fall
the gloves are rolled in the right hand
to say NO" If you would have it un-

The Story of NObOdy's Cat.

i was crouching here in the shed
An hour or more ago,
Trying to dry my drabbled feet
We pussy-cats hate the snow
When through an open door
saw that kitten stray,
Tip-toeing out on the icy walk
In sort of wayward way.
j coald see within the door
Behind him left ajar,
How CHEEKY fire is in the CRATE,
How cosy carpets are.
But his mistress saw him flee,
And followed in loving haste.
He is caught-see, how she cuddles him
Close TO her silken waisti
I can her seem to chide,
Yet pet him-"poor Mow-mow~
Her mantle is round him, soft with fur;
He must be purring now.
But I am Nobody's catl
Think what such life must be-
There's never a saucer Of warm new milk
Nor bit of meat for me.
/ wonder if could sing
'Tis long since have tried.
Yet when l was little girl Gold Locks cat
My music was her pride.
She would lay her pretty cheek
Close to my throat, and say:
"Sing, little old pussy-tea-kettle!
Keep singing, Kitty-grayp
Somehow, was lost from her;
And grew large and wild
And fierce, because am given no more
Kind words by any child.
But know if 1 once could hear
Her call me by my name,
And could feel her hand on my tired back,
/ should grow good and tame.
Oh, 1 would purr so sweet
That she would laugh and say:
"Sing, little old pussy-tea-kettle!
Keep singing, Kituy-gray"
But the snow is deep on the roof!
must try to find rat,
Or shall be supperless all night
am Nobody's-NObedy's cat.

Mr.. Moody in one of his San Fran
cisco exhOrtations referred to a dear
grandmother who was kind and good to
him, but as she was not regenerated by
divine grace, he feared that she had
met the fate of those who die not own
ing Christ. He knew she was in he'll.
At that moment a young man near the
front arose and walked down the aisle
toward the dsor. "There is gentleman" !"
said the revivalist, "who is tired of lis
tening about Christ. He is going
straight to hell" The object of this pub
lie rebuke turned and said, in quiet,
clear voice: "Well, is there any message

Moody"

Here and There a Gem.

Where we but see the darkness of the
mine,
God sees the diamond shine;
Where we can only clustering leaves be-
hold,
He see the bud they fold.
We only see the rude and outer strife;
God knows the inner life.
And those from whom, like Pharisees
we shrink,
With Christ may eat and drink.
Be Of good cheer, every one that is
afflicted, for the Lord is preparing for
you the city of God. Whatever be your
sorrow, it is the token of His love; for
the Man of Sorrows is our King, and the
path of sorrow is the path Of His King
dom; there is none other that leadeth
unto life. Your reward is sure, if you
are but true to yourself Do We believe
these thlngsP Are they realities, or are
they words? They are Gods Word,
which is reality.-Dr. Manning.
Angels of life and death alike are His /;
Without His leave they pass no threshold
DER;
Who, then, would wish or dafe, believ-
ing this,
Against His messengers to shut the door !?
-LongfellOw.
The reason why the men of the world
think SO little of Christ is, they do not
look at Him. Their backs being to-
ward tie sun, they can see only their
own shadows, and are, therefore, Who'll
ly taken up with themselves, while the
true disciple, looking only upward, sees
nothing but his Saviour, and learns to
forget himself.-Payson.
He that lacks time to mourn, lacks time
to mend;
Eternity mourns that tbs an i'll cure
For life's worst ills to have no time to
feel them. Henry Taylor.
Christ is the "light of men, the
Fathers love streams upon us from the
face of Christ; he is at once the exhaust
less fountain of grace, and the very en-
bodiment of Gods love; and really to
believe this. that is, to have a felt sense
of it, is to have peace which the world
can neither give nor take away.-W. 1.
Burlington.
The slightest sorrow for sin is suffi-
cient, if it produce amendment; the
greatest is insufficient, if it do not.
Cotton.
Loves secret is to be always doing
things for God, and not to mind because
they are such very little ones.-F. w.
Faber
