Good Thoughts.

Good thoughts, if cherished, make our
lives bright and glorious; they are sweet
er than the sweetest flowers. We have
the power to cherish one class of thoughts
and dismiss another, to encourage those
that lift us up and restrain those that drag
us down. We can never stop thinking
any more than we can stop breathing.
Thoughts are with us in every waking
hour and It's silent agent in making Us
what we are. We can to a great extent
determine what we shall think about. 1t
is quite as needful to turn away from
puerile thoughts as from book or compan-
ions or the same sort, and it is possible to
occupy the mind so fully with what is
good, noble and uplifting that there shall
be no room nor desire to harbor what is
false, low or injurious. Good thoughts
give the pure heart and clear conscience
which is an ample reward for any effort
or sacrifice.

also of the lungs, the stomach. the liver,
the kidneys, and other structures of his
body. His whole physical being bushes
with shame for the outrage against nature.
In consequence of this intense congestion.
and the fact that it receives one-fiith of all
the blood in the body, the brain partici-

body. except the liver, in the injury
wrought by the "demon drink" As be-

hardened to such a degree even during
life that it can be readily distinguished
from healthy brain by the sense of touch

glow of admiration for the man who does
right because it IS right, no matter if he

men say he was fool or lunatic not to

wrong; but the heart OF the many is loyal
to rectitude. We look and admire. and
praise. We cannot help it. He. who, in
selfish, covetous age when all men are
fighting and scrambling for money. stands
up strong in his integrity, and modestly

Bathing I'm Salt Lake

In the water of Salt Lake bather can lie
on the surface Of the water without any ex-
ertion whatever, or by passing a towel under
his knees and holding the two ends he can re-
main in any depth OF water kneeling, with
the head and shoulders out Of water, or by
shifting it under the sole Of the feet he can
sit on the water. The one exertion, in fact,
is to keep ones balance; none whatever is
required to keep afloat. The only danger,
therefore, arising from choking by acci-
dentally swallowing some of the water, for
the strength of the brine is so intense that
the muscles of the throat are convulsed, and
stranguation ensues. ALI the same, l have
myself dived several times into Salt Lake,
and have survived Harper sMagaziue.

We have been pretty close read
ers of the state press for eight or
ten years past, but at no time have
we ever noticed anything tike the
present general attention to the
manufacturing interests OF the State
We cannot glance over the columns
of any of the State papers without
seeing some notice OF some new en-
terprise either in contemplation or
in operation. True, most of these
enterprises are small, and in the
main Individual efforts, but here
and there appears IL large undertake
ing with public spirit and associa-
ted means behind il.
Putting these things together we
conclude that our people have ceased
10 look TO the east and TO the west
for brains and means; that they
have come to the conclusion To COM
pete in their own markets with the
wares OF foreign or eastern or wes-
tern make, and the effort to do so Is
itself equivalent TO success.
We wish no disaster 10 the indus
tries of any section, but we are most

and develop. Nor do we regard
their development as in any wise
injurious To other sections for the
reason that we shall not coniine
ourselves to our own markets, but
with proper development can and
will sell Tennessee manufactures In
Rhode Island as well as buy the
products of Rhode Island skill and
enterprise in Tennessee. We abhor
sectiOnalism wherever Ii crops out,
whether il be in politics or In bus
iness or in religion, SO called. IL IL
narrOwness and narrowness is slow
decay by contraction. IL dries up
men, families, communities and ma
tions. II STILES progress, deadenS
and rOts the brain while
it leaves the beastly trunk to disiig-
ure the earth. In business il for
bids competition, and builds up
monopoly. We want no such home
growth as this. We have "a higher
for the young industries Of
our section. We should rather see
them perish in their infancy than to
look upon them as only intended
To- monOpOliZe our home markets.
We want to see them sweep out To
the ends OF the earth and bid,
through the enterprise OF our man
ufactures and the excellence Of their
goods, for custom wherever human
want is to- be supplied.
Such is the principle Of live and
let live" and with this ambition 10
guide US our infant enterprise will
develop into gigantic Industries
whose wares shall be known In all
the parts of the world.

The South Western Presbyterian University.
Neyy Orleans praet,,torto,,


twill not be deemed invidious
TO call special attention 10 the OPEN
ing exercises of this institution, ON
the first of September. However
great our interest i'm all schools OF
learning throughout the land, those
under the fostering care of our own
Church should be particularly dear
10 our hearts; and this Seminary,
being under the immediate charge
of our own Synod, has claim upon
our regard beyond every other of its
class.
Independent OF this consideration
OF mere loyalty to the field i'm which
our lot is cast, the Institution Is
able to present credentials which
challenge our support. With so
distinguished Chancellor at its
head as the Rev. DIR. Waddel, whose
prestige It's an educator is acknowl-
edged throughout the Mississippi
Valley, and with six qualified Pro-
fessors TO the different departments
OF instruction, the University is
fully equipped to conduct the stu
dent through any of the courses he
may select.
The endowment, though not
large, is sufficient, together with
tuition fees, to sustain the present
force at work. The Institution,
then, can be run indefinitely upon
its existing scale; and there Is no
contingency of final failure in the
near or distant future. This assur-
ance should stimulate the Synods
united in its support, to place it
upon Il higher plane with larger
endowment. This VIII, OF course,
require effort and time. Mean
while, immediate and important
assistance may be rendered through
simple increase of its patronage.
Let students roll in from every part
of our field, and there will be vast
increase of power i'm half a dozen
different directions.
The visit OF DIR. Bardwell through
a portion OF our territory, will no
doubt, be productive of great good
to the University in this particular.
We hope for the day when this
Institution of the Church will COM
pete with the best appointed col
leges of the land, in its equipment
and patronage.
