An Argument For Cremation.

No argument worthy of the name, or
that could be Immediately refuted, has
yet been adduced against cremation.
We have been told that the system is
and must remain costly, and that it
will offer premium to a scientific
poisoner. 1t has been conclusively de-
monstrated that body can be cremat-
ed for the moderate sum of 10 shillings
and that an absolutely infallible safe
guard against poisoning with impunity
and without detection can be taken.
There remain the objections to crema-
tion on sentimental or theological
grounds. The first are completely dis
posed of If cremation is made optional
and not compulsory. The second are
contained in the first. If man when
he is alive has no religious compunc-
tions on the subject of reducing his
body to ashes in a certain number of
minutes by the agency of fire, and thus
anticipating the process of nature, no
person else has right to protest
against it.
In the epitaph which Charles Reade
has written for himself, the following
solemn and pathetic words occur, Il
hope for a resurrection, not from any
power in nature. but from the will of
the Lord God Omnipotent, who made
nature and me. He created man out
of nothing, which nature could not.
He can restore man from the dust,
which nature can not" If the supreme
miracle of the resurrection of the dead
is worked at all, as, according to the
creeds of the church, we are bound to
believe it is, it must be immaterial
whether the body decays in the earth
or is consumed in the flames. To take
exception to cremation from religious
reasons is & materialistic superstition.

DAYS THAT ARE NO MORE.

Backward, turn backward, my vision to-
night,
Let memory bring the past as write;
The days of my youth, my cid country
home,
Be never forgotten, wherever roam.
The rude-builded house of walnut and
oak,
The rafters and walls all painted with
smoke,
And the old ire-place-l see them to-day,
Though fallen long years and gone to
decay.
The ladder we climbed instead of stair,
Above to the loft i see it still there:
The cupboard of shelves on. pegs in the
wall,
see it again, rude dishes and all.
Around the old hearth of hard beaten
clay,
With my brothers and sisters in child
hood l play,
While father is reading the paper aloud,
And mother is knitting-how memories
rCwd!
The storm-king is raging without hut in
vain,
We reck not his bowling, the snow, ,sleet,
or rain;
Our castle is rude but within it we rest
In comfort and peace, with happiness
bleSt.
The hours grow late; after singing and
prayer
Good-nights are all said, and then we
repair
To homely, warm couches, where angels
do keep
Their vigils, while sweetly, oh, sweetly,
we sleep.

Little Things.

There is barn upon the Allegheny
Mountains which is so built that the
rain which falls upon it separates ir
such manner that that which falls on
one side of the roof runs into a little
stream which flows into the Susquehan
IA, and thence into the Chesapeake Bay
and on into the Atlantic Ocean; that
which falls on the other side is carried
into the Ohio, and onward to the Gull
of Mexico.
The point where the water divides is
very small. But how different the
course of these watersi
SO it happens with people. A very
little thing changes the channel of theil
lives. Much depends upon the kind OF
tempers Ne have. If we are sour anG
ill-tempered no one will love us. If we
are kind and cheerful we shall have
friends wherever we go. Much depends
upon the kind of comrades we have
upon the kind of habits we form. If we
would have the right kind of life We
must watch. the little things. We must
see how one little thing affects another
thing, bow one little act takes in many
others.

Cubans are said to be born lovers
Love is the motive of all their music.
Each piece of their dance music is q
love song without words. Every
movement in their dances is eloquent
of affection rendered or advances re-
pulsed. Their whole lives are thus
contracted. The men keep them shut
up in the houses. Their girlhood is
spent behind the iron-barred windows
of the paternal home; their woman

and the like, as our women are. The
Cuban men are passionate and jealous.
Their own code of morals is such as to
make them suspect women, and so
they keep the sex locked up.
