SLEEP WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPY

SLEEP WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPY
Nothing is more beneficial than
sound sleep, but, strange to say,
there are those Who are afraid of
sleeping too much, yet when one re-
members that the most wretched of
sensations is that of wakefulness,
would it not be wise to sleep always
when one can? How much the
world has improved of late years is
evidenced by the fact that children
are allowed to continue their repose
in the early morning. Whatever
could have induced people to waken
the youngsters up is a mystery, for
certainly they are happier them
selves, and everybody in the house
with them is happier while the dar-
lings slumber.

A Beautiful Incident.

A youth recently ran away from
the galleys of Toulouse. He was
strong and vigorous, and soon made
his way across the country and es-
capped pursuit. He arrived next
morning before cottage in an open
field, and stopped to get something to
eat, and get refuge while he reposed
a little. But he found the inmates
of the cottage in the greatest distress.
Four little children sat trembling in
the corner their mother sat weeping
and tearing her hair; and the father
was walking the floor in great agony.
The galley-slave asked what was the
matter. and the father replied that
they were that morning to be turned
out of doors, because they could not
pay their rent.
.sYou see me driven to despair
!. said the father; my wife and child
rem without food or shelter, anu =
without means to provide for them"
The convict listened attentively to
his tale with tears Of sympathy, and
said:
81 will give you the means. have
just escaped from the galleys. Who
soever brings back an escaped pris-
Oner is entitled to a reward Of fifty
francs. How much does the rent
amout to-"
Forty francs" answered the poor
father.
"Well," said the other, ''put cord
round my body. [ will follow you
to the city, where they will recognize
me, and you will get fifty francs for
bringing me backs"
"No, never!" exclaimed the aston.
ished listener. "My children should
die thousand times before | would
do so base a thing" The generous
man insisted, and declared at last
that he would give himself up if the
father did not consent to take him.
After long struggle the latter yield
ed, and, taking his preserver by the
arm, led him to the city and to the
mayors Office.
Everybody was surprised to see
that little man like the father had
been able to capture such a strong
young fellow; but the proof was be-
fore them.
The fifty francs were paid and the
prisoner sent back to the galleys.
But after. he was gone the father ask
ed private interview with the may
or, to whom he related the whole
story.
The mayor was so much affected
that he not only added francs to the
fathers purse, but wrote Immediately
to the ministers of justice, begging
the young prisoners release.
The ministers examined into the
affair, and finding it was a compare
lively small Offense which had con-
demned the young man to the gal
leys, and that he had already served
out half his term, ordered his release.

The Way to Give.

AS | was riding one Sabbath with
a farmer to church we fell into con-
versation on the subject of giving.
lie was an elder in the Presbyterian
church, man between fifty and six
ty years of age.
Said he, 81 give a tenth of all 7
make to the Lord. Every crop of
corn, every load of hay, every dozen
ofeggs | sell | keep account cf, and
one'tenth of the profit goes to the
Lord. 1t came rather hard at first,
but that is past long ago. Now I
only have to distribute what is already
given. am ready to listen to any
reasonable application, and ifI think
it is a good object it is nothing but a
pleasure to give. That tenth l have
come to feel belongs to God. never
touch it. / should as coon think of
spending my neighbours money as
sthat. ''s
About the same time met the pas
tor of this man. Said he:-''that far
mer is not only the largest giver, but
the most cheerful giyer in my parish.
L preach in two churches; he helps
literally in sustaining both, and the
money he gives is the least of the
blessings he brings u.s."
Sometime after this L was conyers-
ing with friend in Chicago. a young
business man, on the same subject.
"Yes," said he, II determined,
when L was clerk, the first year l
earned anything for myself, that l
would set aside fixed per centage of
my income for benevoIence. [ made
the resolution and L have kept it.
Well, you began early" 1 remark
ed.
$50 l did," was the reply, "and it
was well / did, My salary was small,
and to give the proportion [ fixed
upon was hard but there has never
been year since when it would not
have been harder. A year or two
ago | went into business for myself,
1t looked as though every cent was
needful for capital. Pm afraid l
shouldn't have commenced the sys-
tenn that year, but having resolved
and made the beginning already, l
was ashamed to retreat. Then the
year after. l was married. That year
L should have begged off, I am sure,
if it had not been for the habit, by
that time pretty well settled that
carried me through. Soon after came
our big fire; then hard times, epizoo-
tics-in fact, almost every year some
thing 10 made unaU pssrt-ee.,s.-
bad one to begin. Now 1 always say
to my friends, begin to give as soon
as YOU begin to make; start early.
l do not certainly know what pro-
portion the young merchant gives.
Probably tenth; not less, l am GER
tain.
So here in Cleveland. A young
man, just beginning his business life,
came to me alone few evenings ago
and said:
~ like this idea of giving a regular
proportion, Pm going to begin now.
l think I'll give tenth. This year
that will be five hundred dollars. 1t
looks like good deal to give away !;
and my business is growing; it will
be more yet, | expect, next year, but
it is the right way. My old Bible
class teacher used to talk to us boys
about it, and Pm going to do it."-

Raising tha Minister'S Salary

a worthy miller was once pained

responsibility for one year.

VI course they could not refuse
thiS; although they expressed sur
PRISE knowing the miller to be but a
poor man.
Inc year drew to close. The
minister had been blessed in his la.
pors and no one had been called on
lor money. When they came to-
ge'her' the miller asked the pastor if
MS wants had been supplied, and his
salary promptly paid. He replied in
the aflrmative. When the brethren
were asked if they were any poorer
than at the beginning of the year.
each one replied, "No," and asked
now they could be when they had
PAID nothing. He asked again:
us any man here poorer for keep
ing the ministers" and the reply was
the same as before.
Ihen," he said, "brethern, have
only to tell you that you have paid
the salary the. same as you always

The Grand ARMY idea.

The idea of organization is, in a
word, that of soldlerly comradeship.
The old soldiers never referred to
each as brothers, but in the extremity
of battle there was cleaving together
that had a mystery and warmth not
defined in the fraternal relationship.
The soldiers called this freezing to-
gether-that is to say, when one man
hard pressed in the cyclone fury of
battle felt all through the hot, fierce
struggle the presence of a man, or a
spirit, or something as true as steel,
silent, unmurmuring, but tireless and
fearless, he froze to that man, though
he had never been acquainted with
him before. This was comradeship,
relationship neither paternal nor
fraternal, but involving the highest
ideals of both. There were brothers
who became comrades during the war,
and were nearer and truer to each
other for the new relationship. Five
minutes at the turning point Of some
desperate fight had made two strang,
ers comrades on the instant and for
life. The Grand Army of the Re-
public is built up on this idea of COM
radeship. Should the order ever reach
the idea marked out by the origi-
nators, it will be one Of the most SYM
netrical and harmonious of all secret
cieties.-Inter Ocean,.

Rings made to fit the fingers of thieves,
swindlers and rascals, encircled with
the turpitude of thorough and universal
dishonesty and fraud, that run for the
enriching and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of pol
luted and pOlluting charlatans. Down
with every political ring wherever found
from Washington to the smallest voting
precinct, the PEOPLE don't want rings.
Machines constructed on the narrow
guage, sectarian, party purposes, work
ed not for the cOuntry's good. or the peo-
Piles benefit, but simply and alone for
sinister, disgraceful and I'M
warranted purposes. that affect the in
nocsnt, comfort the guilty, provide for
the incompetent, and neglect the honest
and efficient ones; machines that never
should have existed, never should have
been operated-down with these ma
chimes wherever found; the PEOPLE
don't want machines; the people hays
thought, judgment and wisdom enough
to govern themselves and the country
of which they are SO proud, without the
Intervention of political machines.
MonOpOlies sustained by the public
treasury for the aggregation of wealth,
power and influence of few, who are
thereby enabled to Cypress the many. Let
the chances for conflict and success be as
equal as possible, and do not allow Of
any system that will make the strong
stronger by making the weak, weaker.
The PEOPLE are honest, fair and ever

and fair play shown to all.
Bosses who have Outlived their day of

blood, fresh nerve, and unimpaired intel
lection of political life.tO move in unison

Republican party is, in origin, history,
instincts and practice, party Of pro-
gress and good, and to it the people must
look, and are looking, for the downfall
of everything that should come down,
and the ascendency Of whatever bene-
fits the world in general, and Americans
in particular.
