Stick to Your Bush.

i" One day, when was lad,-a party OF
boys and gihs we're going 10 a distant
pasture TO pick whort!eberries. I Iwgnted
to go with them, but was fearful my
father would not let me. When l told
him what was going on, he at once gave
me permission togo with them. could
hardly contain myself for JOY and rushed
into the kitchen and got q big basket and
asked mother for luncheon. had the
basket on my arm and was just going
out of the gate, when my father called
me back.
He took hold Of my hand and said in
a very gentle voice: Joseph, what arc
you going for-!o pick berries or to
playY "To pick berries" ! replied.
Then, Joseph, wan. to tell you one
thing. 1t is this: when you find pref.
ty good bush, do not leave it To find
better one. The other boys and girls
will run about picking little here and
a little there, wasting a great deal Of
time and not getting many berries. If
you do as they do you will come home
with an empty basket. If you want
berries stick to your BUSH"
went with the party, and we had q
capital time. But it was just as my
father said. No sooner had one found
good bush than he called all the rest,
aud they left their several places, and
ran off to the new.fOund treasure not
content more than q minute or two in
one place. They would ramble over the
whole pasture, get very tired, and at
night had very few berries. Ny
fathers words kept ringing in my ears,
and stuck to my bush" When | had
done with one, found another and
finished that; then | took another.

Good Men Make Good Horses.

We saw farmer the other day with a
fine. looking team passing our residence.
One of the bUrees in his team had q
familiar look. Hating the farmer. we
said, Oh looking closely at his horse,
Why, your off horse is the counterpart
Of neighb0r IS balky horse-the
one he had 70 much trouble will. wear

this is the same animal After a few
days, never had any trouble with him."
How did you break the balky creature ?"
we inquired. "By kindness" retorled
the farmer; ''the same way tha, have
broke lots Of other horses in my lifetime
that were considered unsafe, either in the
saddle or harness." Well, well, we'll,
this proves what some one said, that q

lie has been treated either awkwardly or
brutally. Commence the education of q
horse at his birth; accustOm him to the
presence, voice and sight of man speak
and act gently; caress him and do not
starLle him; all chastisemcnt or cruelty
confuses the animal aud makes him wild.
They are good men who make good
horses. We do not remember If ever
seeing an uncertain, unsafe, balky horse
belonging to man Of this character.
They make the horse good.

Hard Times.

The following is taken from the Post Dispatch, and is full of food for thought and reflection by the masses of the people of this country R
 Presidential years are unfailin9l, years of dullncss in business, and thus far the present year is no ex- ception to the rule. Tn this case, however, it is impossible to trace the slightest connection between the quadrennial election and the bnsi- ness depression. The business of the country Is not at all affected by any influences emanating from poli- tics. {f}sF fEls.
 This is, of itself, proof that the country is stronger than it has been at any time since the war. Another proof of that gratify ing truth is fur nished by the actual situation. The losses py the shrinkage Tn values have been immense. Wheat is lower than it has been for years, Iron is lower than it was after the panic of 1873. Stocks have shrunk away by the hundreds of millions. Yet no one expects . panic. ms
 There has been something of a separation between the speculative interests in business and the more legitimate interests. The legitimate interests now stand on a solid foun- dation They suffer by the losses in speculative values. but they are able to stand the shock. The present evil is merely reaction from exces- ses which any plain man can recog nize.
 Wheat and corn are reacting after the break down of the long attempt to maintain fictitious values by spec ulatiye transactions. Iron is down because stocks are down in conse- quencc ot over-building of railroads. Man ufactures are depressed as the result of over production at high prices. mN f#E
 This is all there Is to it. We have been running our business ma. chinery at too high rate of speed, and we are compelled to stop for repairs. We are compelled to go a little slower, but that will do us no harm. We are not ruined; we are merely not quite so we'll of as we thought we were.

THE EFFORT TO DEMONE-
 TEE SILVER.

That systematic and organized effort is being made to demonetize silver is certain and sundeniablc. This comes from three different sources; first, the present. Republi- can party; second, the. national banks; and third, foreign influence from England and Germany. There IS an element In the Republican par ty not in favor of this movement But that is wofnlly in the minority. and has no control or leading infu - ence in that party. The millionaires. the controlling Republican politi 7 clans, and national banks unite for the demonetization of silver. And the foreign influence backing this movement is very great. The tens dency is to make the rich richer and the poor poorer, to make gold the money of the rich, and the paper debts, or promises to pay money, the money of the poor. It is time the people should wake up thoroughly to this insidious and nefarious move ment.
 This is one of the questions which must go into the approaching Pres idential election. The Republican party is engaged in the perfidious and anti American policy to demon etize silver.-American Register.
 The American people owe it to democratic principles, and dem- ocratic cangress, that silver has the character of currency to day. But for this and the clements above al luded to in the Republican party, would have had it demonetlzed long ago, and the count ry just to that ex tent impoverished.

TIE U. s. Senate on last Thurs day passed the bill to authorize and direct the managers of Nation al Home for disabled volunteer soldiers, to locate branch home at some suitable point in each of the states of Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri and Nebraska Before passing the bill it was medi- fled by amendments proposed by Miller Cal. and Conger. Miller's amendment authorizes the board of managers to receive propositions from the managers of the Veterans home, located In Napa county, Cal, for the transfer of the buildings and property of that home to the United States, for use as branch of. the National soldiers home, and to re- port to congress with respect to the propriety and expediency of the ac- ceptance of said Veterans home. Conger's amendment requires the board of managers to inquire into the expedlency of establishing Q branch home in Michigan.

IT was observed that the recent state convention of Illinois republi- cans failed to entertain the idea sug- gested by some of it's colored mem- bers to place a colorcd individual on the list of presidential electors, not withstandlng a colored delegate de- clared it would make the republican ticket 10000 votes. The colored man, it is observed, stands just as high In Illinois as he does in Arkan- sas, taking practice for a guide. But take profession, and you would ex- pect to find him sharing equally in honors and emoluments with his white brethren, but he aint. There is a sight of difference in Illinois, between preaching and practice, and the republicans know how to manip- ulate the difference. The treatment the poor African receives in Illinois, If it were in Arkansas, would almost furnish a subject for senate inves- tigating committee. Oh! hypocricy.

 Our Sunday school is in growing condition. New scholars are report cd iow nearly every Sabbath.
 Those members of the church who do not attend are loosing more than they think they are.
 The Sunday school is valuable means of grace. Nothing can so en- rich the soul, and make ones expert ence strong as prayerful study of the word Of God. What q graad field for christian work? What glorious victories can be won here? What good soil in which to plant the seed of the word of God? And, oh, what blessed harvest will follow. READER are you in the school as q teacher or scholar? If not when did you graduate? Have you mastered the Bible? If so, we need you as teacher. If not then come into class, and by so doing you will lead others, not only to come to the Sun day school, but, by you discharging your duty as church member, you may be instrumental in leading some one to Christ, and save soul from death. Think of this reader. You wield an influence over some, and you are held accountable for sour influence. Shall I say as long as you live? Yea, as long as time lasts.
