GEORGIA was the first State to enact no
fence law, and under the optional clause
providing for its adoption by counties, Cow
eta county was the first one to put it in OPP
Grafton. After years experience the new
law is reported to be perfectly satisfactory
in its working, and the system of fencing
cattle in as against fencing cattle out is de-
clared to be worth thousands of dollars to
the people of the county. To fence the cul-
tlvated lands of Coweta under the old system
cost 1894, 1894, and it required 100000 year
to keep the fences in repair. The new law
gets rid of three-fourths of the fences, re-
ducing the cost to $223,700, and bringing
the annual expense for repairs down-to
$22,500. The total value of all the Gait e 10
the county is 1894, 4S5, or less than half
what the fences cost under the old plan.
The result of the no-fence law there has
been to increase the acreage of the crops by
20 per cent, and to add sensibly to the
wealth and prosperity of the farmers.

IT seems that the British government is
ready to accept some important modifica-
tions of the bill for the repression OF crime
in Ireland. Some restrictions are to be i'm
posed upon the arbitrary power with which
it is thought necessary to entrust the Irish
Judiciary, and the judges of the superior
court instead of being appointed, as at first
proposed, are to be chosen by ballot But,
after all, the bill is one which nothing short
of necessity can justify, and how far it will
be effective in accomplishing the desired re-
suits is very doubtful. Everything depends
upon the spirit with which it is received by
the Irish public. If it is generally recog-
nized as a necessary measure, all will be
well; but if it should be resented as piece
of tyrannical oppression, it will do more
harm than good.

IT seems like sort of grave public joke
for the municipal authoriti of Chicago to
go through the ceremony of vainly attempt
ing to prosecute property-owners in that city
for renting their houses to professional gam
blers, while at the same time the most gi-
gantc species of gambling ever known is
carried on publicly every week day at the
Commercial Exchange, where millions of
money are lost and won in speculative tran
sactions in domestic produce, whereby the
cost of food is enhanced to the whole body
of the people.

IT is announced that the expectation of
beef from this country to Great Britain has
fallen away to less than nothing, and is like
ly to cease altogether. This of course is the
natural consequence of the high prices which
prevail at home. The shipment of cattle to
England has been overdone, and it is just
as well that it should be temporarily sas-
pors'aota. Afs-- . little while, if fortune IA
vors us, we may again have surplus of cat
tie to dispose of, but just at present we have
none to spare, and it is satisfactory to know
that what we have is being retained for
home consumption

The political Importance of the Protes-
tant religion in France does not appear to
comparatively small, but from the fact that
it is State Church, whose clergy are paid
out of the public treasury, the same as those
of the Latin Church. The actual impor-
lance OF the French Protestants in politics
is shown by statement in the London
Times that no French Cabinet is possible
that will not contain representative states

Translated from the German by Pref. Rote.
Sublimity.
Trust thou myself, to Evening Star,
When in thy heart steals bitter woe;
1t is SO near. yet e'er so far,
And man is far, when nearest though;
And hast thou tears, then shed tear,
O., weep thy fill, alone, unseen!
But in the gaze of man appear
AS if thou hadst ne er sorrow seen.
If condemned thou art by the world pur
blind,
Then seek in quiet woodland tract
New courage, for thy mission find,
And steadfast trust and right to act;
That before myself cans't stand approved
If in thy breast thou Dearest Might;
Let no man see that thou art moved,
Or know the fight that thou must fight.
To a noble work, shouldst thou succeed,
Oh may it then thy calling be,
Hast thou faithful heart indeed,
Remember God made it for thee.
And when thy fresh enraptured soul,
Doth overflow with holy zeal;
Choose not to be an envious fool,
To show that thou hast favors real.
Keenly denounce all selhshness,
AS oft pursuing with its curse;
Stand before thrones with steadiness,
Fear only makes conscience worse;
At dead of night bow but to one.
Before thy God on bonded knee,
And humbly pray: "Thy will be done;"
But to man bow never serviley.

come in. Her children felt sorry for the
poor, half-frozen creature and took it in,
fed it and cared for it.
The kitten was dark gray-just the
color of Gussie's new overcoat-which
pleased the little fellow much, and he
carried il around with him and petted it
until Cousin Louise called him to get
ready for their homeward ride. Then
Gussie asked if he might take the kitten
home.
Cousin Louise said she thought not,
but Cousin Helen, finding that the little
boy had quite set his heart on having
the little kitten, told Walter and Charley
they had better give it to Gussie, and
they readily consented, as each had cat
of his own, and they took care of this
one only out OF pity.
This being settled, the next thing was
how should they carry Miss Gray? But
Gussie, who was never at loss to find
ways for carrying out his plans, thrust
the kitten into his overcoat pocket, and
there she was as snug as you please,
with just her ears and one paw showing
above the pocket; and these were so
nearly the color of the coat that one
could hardly see them.
Kitty seemed quite oontented in her
new nest, and Cousin Louise concluded
Gussie might carry Miss Gray home with
him ; and after the good-bys were said
the party was soon packed into the sleigh
again, and home was DON reached.
Miss Gray was not smothered,
as Cousin Louise feared, but came
out of her snug nest as warm and
lively as kitten could we'll be.

Morning Work.


Perhaps on the whole, moderately
early rising is now commoner practice
in cities than it was forty years ago. 1t
seems strange that the habit OF lying in
bed hours after the sun is up should ever
have OBTAINED a hold on the multitude of
brain workers, as undoubtedly it has in
times past. Hour by hour, the intel
lectual work done III the early morning,
when the atmosphere is as yet unpoison-
ed by the breath of myriads of activaly-
moving creatures, must be, and, as II
matter Of experience, Is, lncomparbly
better than that done at night. The
habit of writing and reading late in the
day and far into the night, "for the sake
Of quiet is one of the most miscellaneous
to which man of Jolnd can addict him
self. When the body is jaded the spirit
may seem to be at rest, and not so easily
distracted by the surroundings which we
think less obtrusive thanin the day; but
this seeming is a snare.
When the body is weary. the brain,
which is an integral part of the body,
and the mind, which is simply brain

agement of self. The feeling of tram
guilty which comes over the busy and
active man about 1870 or IL o'clock
ought not to be regarded as an incentive
to work. 1t is in fact the effect of
exhaustion of the physical sense. Nature
wants and calls for physiological rest.
Instead of complying with her reasona-
bic demand, the night-worker halls the
"feeling" of slental quiescence, mistakes
it for clearness and acuteAess, and whips
the jaded organism with the will until it
goes on working. What is the result?
Immediately, the accomplishment of a
task fairly well, but not half so well rs if
it had been performed with the vigor of

that is, energy wrung from exhausted or
weary nerve centers under pressure.

organs concerned in nutrition. To re-
lieve these maladies-springing from
this unsupported cause.-the brain work
er very likely has recourse to the use of
stimulants, possibly alcohol, or it may
be simply tea orcoffee. The sequel need
not be followed. Night-work during
student life and in after years is the
fruitful cause of much unexplained,
though by no means inexplicable,
suffering for which it is difficult if not
impossible to find remedy. Surely

gentleman was once standing by O
little brook, watching its bounding,
gurgling waters. In the midst of his
musings he noticed scores of little min
nows making their way up the stream,
and in the direction Of shoal which was
foot or more high, and over which the
clear, SPARKLING waters were .leaping.
They haltod moment or two as If to
survey the surroundings. "What
now?' inquired the gentleman; "can
these little fellows continue their Jour-
ney any further ?" He soon saw that
they wanted to go further up the stream,
and were only resting and looking out
the best course to pursue in order to
continue their journey to the unexplored
little lakelet that lay above the shoal.
All at once they arranged themselves
Ikea little column of soldiers, and darted
up the foaming little shoal, but the
rapid current dashed them back in con-
fusion. A moments rest and they were
again IN the sprayey waters with like re-
suits. For an hour or more they re-
peated their efforts, each time gaining
some little advantage. At last, after
scores and scores of trials, they bounded
over The shoal, into the beautiful lake
let, seemingly the happiest littlefolks in
the world. Well" said the gentle
man, here is my lesson. I'll never
again give up trying when 1 undertake
anything. did not see how these little
people of the brook could possibly scale
the shoal-it seemed impossible, but
they were determined to cross it. This
was their purpose, and they never ceased
trying until they were sporting in the
waters above it.-Kind Words.
