is much easier to make money than it is to
keep 1t. Live within your income, however
small it may be, and keep out of debt, and you
will probably die rich man, and your children
will quarrel over what you leave behind you,
and become perpetually alienated from each
other But you may prevent this by adopting
John Wesley's motto: sect all you can, keep
all you can. give all you cam" II successful
in accommodating money, be generous in its use.
Be your own executor. Make your money so
many angels of mercy, intelligence, and bene-
diction, and let them loose in the world before
you die. Don't be narrow, niggardly or mean
in your benevolence. Remember that the
some one else happy. whatsoever man
soweth, that shall he reap."
Affability and cheerfulness will help you
greatly and will supplement other defects.
agreeableness of manner will always win. A
dog knows the difference between a smite and
a frown-the one will draw him, the other
will drive him away. A man was struggling
in the Merrimack river one winter day, when
some men extended long plank toward him,
AS he attempted and failed the third time, the
poor man shouted: "For Gods sake, gentle
men, give me hold of the other end of the
plank this time" They had been holding
him the icy end. So many people go through
this world with the icy end of themselves to-
ward us; either freezing us by their GOODNESS
or causing us to slip off when we would
take hold of them. Even the civilized
salutation of handshaking shows
this coldness, for sometimes we respond
and cooperate to this symbol of kindness
about like that of an iron handle to pump
on frosty morning. Let your good will and
good manners be like an ever flowing foun-
tain. Some persons can say ono" with grace
and winsomeness that charms, while others
will say 'Yes" with GOODNESS that chills.
Courtesy is Christian virtue, and will do
more than money or influence or education to
help young man through the world.
Now all these elements of successful life
are enjoined in the Word of God. AS to the
general theme, $50 run that ye may obtain"
AS to Industrious labor, Paul commands that
the Thessalonians should not eat if they did
not work; and Solomon says that the hand of
the dilligent maketh rich, and the soul of the
dilligent shall be fat. And again, ''See-
est though man dilligent in his
business, he shall stand before
kings; he shall not stand before mean men, :"
AS 10 energy. Whatsoever thy hand fndeth
to do, do it with thy might" "Dilligent in
business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord"
As to tact and economy, "Not slothful in
business, temperate in all things, that your
moderation may be seen by all men," As to
courtesy and affability. 'Be courteous" "Let
every one of us please his neighbor for his
good unto edification."
Religion. therefore, is not inconsistent with
success. Other things being equal, it is the
surerest road to success. And when we con-
template the destiny and the possibilities of
the riches of heaven as it's chief object is q
most disastrous and irretrievable failure
"What shall it profit a man if he gain the
whole world and lose his own soul ~

A gospel meeting of the Reform club was
held in Harrison hall yesterday afternoon,
with very large attendance. The Musical
unioa rendered several selections, when the
services were opened by Chaplain w. W.
Satterlee, in devotional exercises, after which
he read portion of the fifth chapter of the
gospel of st. John. He thought the text ap-
plicable to the liquor traffic in Minneapolis,
casting out the devils from the saloon-keepers
into the swine. Possibly the good chaplain
forgot that our city ordinance don't allow
swine in Minneapolis. If it did, would
1t not be somewhat difficult to get
swine sufficient to do the purpose. He then
introduced Rev. David Tice, who preached a
short discourse from the 10Th chapter of st.
Luke. At the close of the discourse num-
Der of members of the club participated in
discussing the questions introduced.

The speaker then closed his address with an
eloquent eulogy upon the departed,
whose memory was the occupa-
ton of the ceremonies. The Apollo
qqartette then sang"I cannot always trace
the way.'' Next in order on the programme
was an address by Judge Hemiup, but Mr..
Smith came forward and announced his re-
grets that the brother had been Unexpectedly
called from the city. preventing his presence.
Mr.. Smith then read brief letter from Judge
Hemiup, which briefly reviewed some of the
prominent features of Mr.. Ridgley's career in
Odd Fellowship, closing with a high tribute
to him as beloved and esteemed brother.
SidwelPs brass hand produced another Sc

The next speaker was Rev. Robt. Forbes of
the ME-. Church. He began with the statement
that he would not tire the patience of the au-
dience. That he would occupy but few mo-
ments. He then explained that an error had
been committed in printing the programmes,
which set him forth as P. G.. Forbes. He was
not q past grand. In fact he had never re-
ceived an honor or distinction in the order.
His mother always called him plain Robert,
and he liked it better; SO he apologized for
the seeming" lenity upon so grave an oc-
casion, explaining that he would prefer
TO see the admirers of the lamented smile,
than always to look woeful. Mr.. Forbes also
stated that he did not think the order was
secret. He thought secret society wrong,
and should not be allowed to exist. On the
front of all Odd Fellows halls were large
letters designating the place of meeting. The
nights of meeting were known to everybody.
The nature of the work was well known every
where. This could not be called secret, I'M
less it be can open secret" We sometimes
hear that if the first question arises, he
says, when aid is called for, is he
man in distress then it is my duty as man to
relieve that distress. 1t is an easy doctrine to
preach in the pulpit on the Sabbath morning;
easy to talk in the lodge room, but doing it
was perhaps somewhat more difficult and on
the prairie suffering from the cold rigorous
blasts OF the winds. In sickness and in trouble
we're the widows and the orphans OF Odd Eel
lows, but they were receiving aid from the or
der. This Is one of the works we have
to do, and do do. He was glad he
was a member of the order. Proud
of it. He then referred to the death of Presi-
dent Garfield, whose name, he said, was en-
shrined beside that of Lincoln, and spoke OF
the mourning of the nation and that he would
not put by the grave of such, broken hope
broken shaft. He then spoke of the princi-
pies of Odd Fellowship; he said to read
the apostles Luke, Paul and John and prac-
tice the teachings instilled there and you
will have Odd Fellowship. 1t was the work
of those who went about doing good. The
Apollo quartette sang "Lead kindly Light"
The closing services of the order were under
the supervision of G. 81. Smith.

Dueli,sg In Germany.
New York Tribune,)

A few weeks ago Lieut.. Won Geyso, a
young Prusslan officer of remarkable
promise, was shot to death by one of bis
comrades in wholly unnecessary en-
counter. So popular was this gallant
youth in Schwedt, the garrison town
where his regiment was stationed, that
hundreds followed his body to its prema-
ture grave. One afternoon, during soma
regimental gymnastic exercise, Won Gey-
so refuse leap that had been taken by
several of his fellow officers. Three of
these, more in jest than in earnest, shout
ed out, "You are coward" Won Geyso,
having given frequent proofs OF his per-
sonal courage, took no notice of these
bantering EXPLANATIONS, but; a day or two
later, finding himself Stunned at mess by
his comrades, he consulted his brother
in-law, Baron Won Richtoen, as to the
proper course to pursue, and, by this gen.
tleman's advice, challenged the three
officers to meet him in succession and
exchange two shots. No serious conse-
quences ensued from the first and second
encounters, but Geyso's third opponent
shot him through the heart at the first
fire, killing him on the spot.

Tennor's December Forecast.

The Canadian prophet has made pretty
good guess for so much of December as has
gone, and the following concludes his weather
prophecy to January1:
Is to 20-Very cold and blustry period,
with snowfalls where these were experienced
in 1876 and 1880, the 10Th and Goth probably
being the days most marked in this respect;
intense cold in Canada and the New England
states.
25-Christmas has cold and stormy per-
iod both before and after it, but the day itself
may just escape.
90 to SLATER the Goth see nothing but
cold, saow and bluster to the close of the
year for Canada and much of the United
States, West and South, the month probably
resembling, in many respects, the December
of 1876 and 1880. AS to the intensity of de-
gree of these snowfalls, have no verv definite
Indications, but am strongly impressed in the
direction of low temperature for the fore part
of the approaching winter season.
But January will have its ''thaw" this time,
and probably very marked one.

REPRESENTATIVE RObtnson's Resolution.
The resolution of Representative Robinson,
which he sought to introduce Friday, recites
that the salute to the English flag at York
town, was without authority of congress, and
and was done at a time when England was
suspending the habeas corpus act, suppressing
public meetings, and crowding their jails with
honorable gentlemen unaccused of crime,
some of them American citizens, and others
the chosen and honorable representatives in
parliament of their own people; therefore,
to those patriots and members of parliament
suffering imprisonment under despotism. The
salute to the British flag is declared insulting
to the memory of the brave men who, 100
years ago, pulled it down, and hoped it would
never be raised again on American soil.

lena Frederick Augusta, of Waldeck- Pyrmont,
is said to be love affair, and to be entirely
destitute of those political considerations
which usually control royal alliances. The
prince is somewhat of an esthete, though not
of the pronounced ''damphool' sort. Not
being in robust health, he has not been able to
indulge in the manly pursuits that his brothers
have followed, and so be has given his atten-
ton to literary and artistic matters. The lady
is the fourth daughter of Prince George Vic
tor of Waldeck, one of the smallest states of
the German empire. She is a younger sister
of the Queen of Netherlands, and a niece of
the King of Sweden, and is also allied by mar
riage to the House of Wurtemburg; but as her
father is prince only in name, having long
ago surrendered his sovereign power to Prus-
STA, it is evident that England can gain no po-
1itical advantage by the marriage. As the
briGe's parents live in very simple style. and
the bridegroom is quiet, unambitions man,
and as they love each other, the outlook is
promising for happy union.
A Washington correspondent, describing
the refitting and refurnishing theWhite House,
alludes to the room assigned as President
Arthur's bedroom, thus: Aside from its COL
oring, White House legends from grave to gay
associate themselves with this room 1t was
here President Taylor closed his brief official
career and Willie Lincolns little life went out.
Here rested the head of the young Prince of
Wales after wearylng of the plsudits and plati-
tudes of his American cousins. 1t was here
Gen. Burnside probably passed the proudest
night of his lifetime-the one succeeding his
orders to take command of the Army of the
Potomac. And Nellie Grant spent herein
many happy days Of maiden meditation before
embarking on the tickle sea of matrimony.
This room, SO full of memories, which will
one day add anecdotes of its present occupant
to its pages in memoriam, looks out upon
Lafayette square and the triune Government
buildings west of IT. Across the hall from
this room, at the head of the private stairway,
is the room where President Garfield srangu-
latus pro Republica- spent his first days of
pain, where he learned to suffer and be strong;
and in this room, frescoed in gray and pink
and blue and gold, all that was mortal of
Abraham Lincoln laid until the catafalque re-
ceived his body in the East Room below.
