EVENING PRAYER AT A GIRLS SCHOOL

Hush tis a holy hour-the quiet room
Seems like a temple, while yon soft lamp sheds
A faint and starry radiance through the gloom,
And the sweet stiffness, down bright young heads,
with all their clustering locks, untouched by care,
And bowed, as flowers are bowed with night in prayer
Gaze on-'tls lovely--chldhoods lip and cheek
Mantling beneath la earnest brow Of thought
Gaze. yet what seest thou in those fair and meek
And fragile things a. but for sunshine wrought
Thou seest what grief must nurture for the sky,
What death must fashion for eternity.
Oh Joyous creatures, that will sink to rest
Lightly when these pure prisons are done,
As birds with siumbers honeydew oppressed
Midst the dim folded leaves, at set Of sun,
Lift up your hearts though yet no sorrow lies
Dark in the summer-heayen Of those clear eyes.
Though fresh within your breasts the unroubled spring
OF hope make melody where'er ye tread
And Ger your sleep bright shadows from the wings
OF spirits visiting but youth be spread;
Yet in those fiute-like voices, mnglng low,
Ia woman's tenderness, how soon her wool
Her lot is on you, silent tears TO weep,
And patient smiles to wear through sufferings hour
And sunless riches from affections deep,
To pour on broken reeds, q wasted shower
And 10 make idols and TO find them clay
And to bewal that worshp-therefore pray
Her LOT is on you, to be found untired,
Watching the stars out by the bed OF pain,
with pale cheek, and yet a brow inspired,
And true heart of hope though hope be vaini
Meeky to bear with wrong, to cheer decay
And, Obi TO love through all thingstherefore pray
And take the thought of this calm vesper time,
with It's low murmurng sounds and sivcry light
On through the dark days fading from their prime,
As sweet dew TO keep your souls from blight.
Earth will forsake, oh happy TO have given
The unbroken hearts nrst fragrance unto heaven

Prohibition that Prohibits.

If there is college town, if there is a
Christian community in America, absolutely
bent on protecting its people from the liquor
selling business, 1t may as well be named
Oberlin. Hitherto, with but fitful intervals,
the good people there have succeeded.
Last summer the proprietors of the three
drug stores and three saloons, under pressure
of thoroughly aroused popular feeling, all
signed pledge TO sell no liquors for any pur-
pose whatever, and until lately this pledge
has been in force. But recently Mr.,
Bronson bought out one of the druggists,
aud proposed to run his store as other drug
gists do. lie has been crusaded daily, and
talked TO by the leading temperance people,
but would not sign the pledge. The other
day a crowd of two hundred men and
women went to his store and presented a
paper signed by most of the business men,
asking him to put his name to the prohibi-
ton pledge. This he refused to do. But
unless we mistake the quality of the Oberlin
people, they will never give it up. But how
ineffable is the villanous "cheek of man
who, in such a place, and against such pro
testations, comes in and persists in such an
occupation.-Advance.

=" Perpendicular Drinks"

We recently heard a small party OF per-
sons earnestly Directing to perpendicular
drinks as calculated to promote intemper-
ance and encourage the drinking usages of
society, but the very next day at dinner, this
very same party Of four had their lager p"
uncorked, poured into their glasses, and
each drank, saying to one another I" Here's
good health" The plea for drinking it was
that the family doctor said 1t would give
strength" The party was seeking health
and strength at one of the popular summer
resorts. And this is fair specimen of the
way the average American treats the whole
liquor question. Seeing the wide waste and
desolation which comes from the drinking
of alcoholic beverages, they honestly feel
that something ought to be done, and so
perpendicular drinks" treating, drunken
ness, etc., must be condemned; and yet the
very next minute they patronize the liquor
seller aud publicly drink the drunkard's
drink, all under the doctors wing, pleading
i'll health, weakness, dyspepsia, and the like.
Besides setting wrong and pernicious ex-
ample, and throwing the whole weight OF
their influence in favor Of the drinking
usages of society, they take into their sys-
tenn that which not only does them no good,
but which does positive and decided harm.
ne De5t meulchl authority III Iue WDrlu
now shows that alcoholic drinks--including
lager beer-contain no food, or accessory
food, and render no aid to digestion. On
the contrary. they do great injury when
constantly taken into the system. There is
now no excuse for intelligent people not
knowing these facts. The results Of recent
scientific Investigations by Dr. Richardson
and host of others are published, and can
be procured as easily and cheaply as novels
poems or history, The drinking usages Of
society, and the drunkenness, want, and
misery which follow in the train OF moder
ate drinking, will never be put down so long
as the delusion exists 30 widely in relation
TO the use of alcohol as a medicine. The

This strikes at the root of the trouble

branch of the question should be circulate,

WHEN the cold weather came so suddenly
the other day, it found the keepers Of the
menagerie at Central Park, New York, un-
prepared None of the animals were more
surprised than the monkeys. The old and
large monkeys would crowd into warm
corners, and the others would climb on
them and crowd all about to keep warm.
The smallest and youngest were quite left
out in the cold, but one of them climbed on
top OF the heap of his fellows, and cried so
long and loud that the old chap at the bot
tom toppled the whole pile over. He then
thrashed every monkey he could reach, and
family row followed. The polar bears
and seals were very happy, but the camel
bumped his back higher than ever, and the
snakes all became torpid.

The extensive draw of the new bridge
in Albany, N. Y. Is the largest in the
world. 1t contains over 2 100000 pounds
of Iron. In test by steam, last week it
was turned by the 40.horse power engine
in three minutes.
A terrible accident occurred to the Chi
cago express train which left Albany,
N. Y, at 2:40p m. Friday of last week.
Near Spuyten Duyvil junction with the
Harlem main line, the TarrytOwn
special train ran into it and telescoped
the last two Wagner palace cars, which
took fire and caused loss Of twelve
lives. Among those who were killed
was Senator Wagner. the eminent palace
car proprietor. In addition to the killed
said to number eight-fOrty or more
persons were injured. There were at
least 500 passengers on the train.

SAINT Ste. Marie.

The Marquette correspondent of the
Post and Tribune in writing of the pre-
sent and prospective opportunities for
business on the Upper Peninsula thus
refers to what may be the future of
Sault Ste. Marie, and which in our opin-
ion is only question of time as to when
it will be realized.
Sault Ste. Marie as manufacturing
point has long been looked upon as pos
sessed of advantages superior to those
of any other locality on the lakes. The
project of utilizing the great water
power running to waste at the rapids
has long been talked Of as a feasible
project, il there was communication
that could be used the entire year for
reaching the market at Montreal by
shipment from Sault Ste. Marie. The
first steps taken towards carrying out
this enterprise were inaugurated by the
Hon. Henry w. Lord last June. Mr.
Lord has taken deep interest in this
scheme, and had it brought before skill
full engineers, who made preliminary
survey of the location, route, expense,
etc. To accomplish this work will re-
quire great amount of labor, and when
completed it will stand without rival
in the world. In company with Mr..
Lord walked over the ground last sum-
mer. For the benefit of those who have
not been at Sault Ste. Marie, | will give
a brief description to aid them in under
standing this project. The rapids are
| little less than one half mile in length
| having a fall of 1917 feet. The banks of
the river are of sand stone and have the
same descent as the river. The town of
Sault Ste. Marie is situated at the foot
of the rapids on plateau about one
half mile wide, which is nearly on a
level with the river. At the north is
this ledge Of red sandstone, through
which the ship canal is cut. This ledge
| Is about One-half mile in length, and
holds back the water of lake Superior at
an elevation of some 80 feet above lake
Huron. Just back of the town there is
bluff of perhaps 100 feet in height
The top of this bluff is at the general
level of the country. Mr.. Lords plan is
to blast out canal back and north of
the town, and tap the lake and conduct
the water in q canal to a point below
the town, where the river takes a turn.
Inland from this point for a distance of
five miles il need be, the canal will run
parallel with the river. The engineers
estimate that it will cost $25O,O00 to
place the water on the ground. Mr..
Lord informs me that the right of way
can be had, and five miles of river front.
An examination of the river shows a
depth of water of from 20 to 40 feet
within few feet of the shore. Mr..
Lords idea is to erect elevators, mills,
and manufactures of all kinds at this
point, ship and store wheat, and manu-
facture it into -four, make agricultural
implements for the northwest, etc. A
carefully compiled statement as regards
the expense Of shipping, shows this To-
cation to be at great advantage over
that of Minneapolis and st. Paul. Mr..
Lord is very confident that this work
will be consummated just as soon as
railway cOmmunica tiOns are made with
| the seabOard.
