mr.. ARTHUR's FATHER.

The Rev. VIM. Arthur was a man of
ability and originality of character, who
formed his opinions without much refer
ence to the views of others, and was
most persistent and vigorous in main
tanning them. A recalcitrant deacon or
trustee in church over which he was
pastor had by no means life of peace
and his own way the best thing such
malcontent could do was to maintain an
armed neutrality while Mr.. Arthur was
at the head of affairs. Yet be was a
man of kindly and tender feelings, who
could be swayed by means of them, but
never by opposition. Quick in repartee
and ready in resources, he was a for
midable opponent in debate or in STRAIT
egy, and few men cared to try conclu-
sions with him. Coming to this country
from Ireland, he brought with him the
mental peculIarlties of his nation, as
well as a rich, strong Irish accent, which
gave peculiar raciness and flavor to
his public efforts and to his private con-
versation; and few people who were
often brought into contact with him but
have to this day many recollections of
his shrewd and brusque remarks. He
was passionate and impulsive, often
making enemies by his sharp utterances,
and always fought to win, whatever the
nature or object of the contest.
He had the reputation as well as the
appearance of being dictatorial and of
carrying out his purposes with small re-
gard for the plans of other people. Not
withstanding his undoubted ability, he
never met with the success to which he
felt that he was entitled, and this prob
ably somewhat embttered his manners
and feelings. Yet the man was most
thoroughly honest and truthful; no
consideration of policy or of care for his
own comfort and welfare was permitted
to influence his conduct; and if he did
that which was right in his own eyes, it
was because it appeared right to him;
he could neither be cajoled, bribed nor
persuaded to go out of his predetermined

TRUE WEALTH.

In the course of well-considered ar
ticle on "Wealth and Well-being," the
Philadelphia Ledger remarks: If the
true wealth of nation consists SO large
iy of human force, skill, wisdom and
rectitude, so does the true wealth of an
individual. What is freely admitted on
a large scale cannot be reasonably de-
MED on a small one. Not merely the
tangible but the intangible possessions
must be counted in, before we can de-
eide whether any one is wealthy or poor,
The mechanic may imagine that when
he has added together the amount of his
savings, the price of his homestead and
the value of his tools, that he has ac-
counted for all his wealth; but how
much he has omitted. His strong right
arm, his expert hand, his knowledge of
his trade, his physical endurance, his
reputation as superior and faithful
workman-.these are more worth to him
in the future, even in a money point of
view. than all his material possessions.
With them he cen repair losses, make
deficiencies, and, if need be. begin the
world anew with new heart and courage;
but, rob him of these, and he is poor
and pitiable indeed. Look at the young
man who has drifted into a large for
tune by inheritance or speculation, and
has neither the force of character or the
judgment to use it wisely. Probably a
few years will scatter it to the winds
but even should he keep it, it cannot be
true wealth to him, any more than a
pile of diamonds could be true wealth to
the solitary inhabitant of an island.
But the man who, by his ability and
character acquires material possessions,
has wealth in its two-fold sense. And
if he employs that which he has gained
for purposes of good, and not evil, for
himself and for others, he realizes the
true union between wealth and we'll
being.

HURRIED DINNERS.

1t is a mistake to eat quickly. Mas
tication performed in haste must be i'm
perfect even with the best of teeth, and
due admlxture of the salivary secretion
with the food cannot take place. When
crude mass Of inadequately crushed
muscular FIBRE or undivided solid mate
rial of any description, is thrown into
the stomach, it acts as mechanical ir-
ritant, and sets up condition in the
mucous membrane lining that organ
which greatly impedes, if it does not al
together prevent, the process of diges-
tion. When the practice of eating
quickly and filling the stomach with un-
prepared food is habitual, the digestive
organ is rendered incapable of perform
ing its proper functions. Either much
larger quantity of food than would be
necessary under natural conditions is re-
quired, or the system suffers from lack
of nourishment. Those animals which
were intended to feed hurriedly were
either gifted with the power of rumina-
tion or provided with gizzards. Man is
not so furnished, and it Is fair to as
sumo that he was intended to eat slowly.
We must apologize to our readers for
of Go
but we do this in the hope that any who
may chance to have influence with the
managers of large hotels where dinners
a la table dhote are in vogue will take
measures to bring about much-needed
reform in the manner in which these en-
tertainments are conducted. At the
best and most frequented establishments
in places of fashionable resort, where at
this season multitudes of health-seekers
are won't to congregate, the hurried din
ners are not onl y causes of annoyance,
but actually 60 far to prevent the benefit
which should be derived from change.
: No sooner is one course served than an
other is introduced, without giving the
guest time to digest or even to swallow
the first. The eagerness to secure good
dividends takes a particularly misehiev-
Gus form when it piles food on the plate
of customer and compels him to con-
sumo it breathlessly. The matter may
seem small one, but it is not so. Just
as man may 60 on for years with de-
fective teeth, imperfectly masticating his
food, and wondering why he suffers from
indigestion, so a man may habitually
live under an affiiction of hurried din
ners, and endure the consequent loss of
health, without knowing why he is not
we'll, or how easily the cause of his i'll
ness might be remedied. Lancet.

DANcING.-Here is what purely
secular paper says about dancing: "A
great deal can be said about dancing;
for instance, the chief of police of New
York city says that three -fourths of the
abandoned girls in the city were ruined
by dancing. Young ladies allow gen.
tlemen privileges in dancing which, ta-
ken under any other circumstances,
would be considered as improper. 1t
requires neither brains nor good morals
to be good dancer. As the love Of the
one increases the love of the other de-
creascs. How many of our best men
and women are skillful dancers? In an
cient times the sexes danced separately.
Alcohol is the spirit of beverages. So
sex is the spirit of the dance; take it
away and let the sexes dance separately,
and dancing would 60 out of fashion
very soon. Parlor dancing is danger
Gus. Tipping leads to drunkenness.
and parlor dancing leads to uugodly
balls. Tipping and parlor dancing sow
to the wind, and both reap the whirl-
wind. Put dancing in the crucible, ap-
ply the acids, weigh it, and the verdict
of reason, morality and religion Is,
Weighed in the balance and found
wanting."- "-NesO York Journal Of Ed
ucatson.

Political slavery is the worst foe of
the country to-day Men who do not
think and act for themselves are moral
towards, and loan themselves as tools to
be used by unscrupulous demagOgues.
Principle = independent principle =
should always be supreme to any party.
Party is well enough, and is necessary
for concert of action, but the man who
will not condemn party when it becomes
corrupt, or rather is controlled by cor
rupt influences, is untrue to himself, his
home and his country. The demands of
the times for men of principle, men who
will face corruption to defeat it, men
who will meet the briber to expose him,
men who will do and dare for humanity
and its best interests, for men who will
stand on the solid foundation of an in
corruptible manhood, and defy the party
rings and denounce party corruptions
and defend party principles. There are
such men, and they must be sought out
and placed into positions of trust and
responsibility.

PROTECTION FROM DIsEASE.-The fol-

effect of Compound Oxygen in keeping up
vitality under circumstances of great IA
tigue, loss of rest, exposure to fever, and
all the depressing influences attending on
the sickness and death of near and dear
relatives. ''For ten weeks my sister and
l nursed our father (the late Judge) con-
stantly, day and night, she losing one half
and the other of each night. | took the
Oxygen regularly twice day, and though
feeble and much exhausted, did not have
any symptoms of the fever; while my
sister, who did not use the Oxygen at all,
took the fever and died. She, too, was
very delicate, but l do not believe she
would have had the fever if she had been
using the Oxygen. We used every pre-
cautionary measure in the way of cleanli-
ness, pure air, wholesome food, etc." Our

ONLY A SMILE.

Only smile that was given me
On the crowded streets one dayI
But it pierced the gloom of my saddened heart
Like sudden sunbeam's ray,
The shadow of doubt hung over me,
And the burden of pain bore,
And the voice of hope could not hear
Though listened o'er and DER.
But there came rift in the crowd about,
And face that knew passed by.
And the smile I caught was brighter to me
Than the blue Of summer sky.
For 1t gave me back the sunshine,
And scattered each somber thought,
And my heart rejoced in the kindling warmth
Which that kindly smile had wrought.
Only smile from friendly face
On the busy streets that dayl
Forgotten as soon as given, perhaps,
AS the donor went her way.
But straight to my heart it went speeding
To gid the clouds that were there!@
And found that sunshine and lfe's blue skies
also might take my share.

Anxious to do Gods and the peoples will.

Where the Celestial Cross of sacrifice
Spread its protecting arms athwart the skies;
And, set thereon, like jewels crystal clear,
The soul magnanimous, that knew not fear,
Flashed their effulgence on his dazzled eyes,

Were not the suffering followed by the sense
OF infinite rest and infinite released
