A few days since the very speedy and

Virginia Bush, the half-sister to Bush
whacker, were ordered TO be turned out
into the track at Preakness to crop the
luxuriant grass grown up under the
fencing. When the halters were re-
moved Virginia Bush challenged Bon
ME Lizzie for race. The pair deliber-
ately walked back to the starting post,
aligned themselves, and started away
at the top of their speed and ran
around the course. Passing the stand,
both horses turned around and walked
back to the starting point, as ifereport-
ing to the judges. Bonnie Lizzie, who
came in first, looked at Virginia Bush
with seeming contempt, as much as to
say "You were never q race mare in
first-class company and walked away
TO crop the grass. Both mares have
been retired from the turf.

We remember hearing of notori-

solemn abodes of the dead. But it is o
far more dreadful thing, if it could only
be realized, to swear in the presence of
ones Maker, He who made and wants
to redeem each and every one of His
children. We hear it everywhere, this
habit of profanity on the street, in the
car, and in the store. And the low
habit is not confined to the poor or un-
| educated.
Let it be stopped. this sin against
God! We would especially urge the
young the boys-never to form this
habit. No matter how angry or aggra-
waited you may be, never, never allow
the name of God to fall heedlessly or
wrathfully from your lips. If you
guard against the use of violent and
profane language while young, you will
be almost safe from it forever. Listen
again to the warning words of the old
verse, true now as when they were
written long ago:
"You would not swear if on the bed OF
death;

"swear Not at AL"

ITO swear is neither brave, polite nor
wise," so says an old verse, and such
must be the sentiment of every respecta-
BILE man or woman. The youth Just APP
preaching manhood sometimes thinks
It smart or brave to let fall q full-fedged
oath, specially designed often for the
ears of some sedate ''Auntie" or cous-
in, whose shock of surprise he thinks it
will be great fun to witness. In the
majority of cases, however, there is no
great surprise evinced; from youth
who will swear at all, it is usually to be
expected.
Perhaps, after all, it would be better
at such times for the hearer to repress
the almost involuntary look of con-
tempt, and, if possible, don one of pity
instead. The fact generally is, the
speaker does not think how great is the
sin actually committed when the name
Of the Deity lightly and profanely falls
from his lips.
/" It chills my blood to hear the blest Supreme
Lightly appealed to on each trifiing theme"
It is not SO much an appeal, it seems,
as q reckless taking the name of God
in vain. In vain, and to no purpose.
Swearing never helped anybody; it
never will in reality. We have heard of
persons who foolishly declared they
could never accomplish anything until
they .sgot mad and swore." As If God
would ever allow any cause, however
important ortriling, TO be helped at all

Hours Of Meditation and Devotion.

DR.. Austin Phelps, in speaking of the
danger of incessant Christian activity,
without a corresponding secret life
with God, says: "The very obvious
peril is that the vitality of holiness may
be exhausted by inward decay, through
the want of an increase of its devotion
al spirit, proportioned to the expansion
of its active forces. Individual expert
ence may become shallow for the want
of meditative habits and much COM
munion with God. Activity can never
sustain itself. Withdraw the vital force
which animates and propels it and it
falls like dead arm. We can not
then too keenly feel, each one for him
self, that still and secret life with God
must energize all holy duty, as vigor
in every fiber of the body must come
from the strong, calm, faithful beat OF
the heart.
A Christian man of intense business
enterprise and activity was laid aside
by sickness. He who never would in
termit his labors was compelled to come
to dead halt. His restless limbs were
stretched motionless on the bed. He
was so weak that he could scarcely ut
ter a word. Speaking. to friend OF
the contrast between his condition now
and when he had been driving his i'm
mense business, he said: "Now | am
groa0ing. have been running my soul
thin by my activity. Now am grow
ing in the knowledge of myself and OF
some things which most intimately con-
Germ me. :"
No doubt there are many of us who
are running our souls thin by our inces.
SAINT action, without finding quiet hours
for feeding and waiting upon God.
Blessed then is sickness, or sorrow, or
any experience that compels us to stop,
that takes the work out of our hands
for little season, that empties our
hearts of their thousand cares, and turns
them toward God to be taught of Him.
But why should we wait for sickness
or sorrow to compel into our lives these
necessary quiet hoursp Why should
we not train ourselves every day to 60
apart for little season from, the noisy
chilling world, to look into Gods face
and into our own hearts, to learn, and
to draw secret strength and life from
the fountain of life in God? George
Herbert's quaint lines contain wise
counsel:
"By all means use sometimes to he alone;
Salute thyself; see what thy soul doth wear.
Dare to look in thy chest-for It's thine own
And tumble up and down what thou find 81
there"
With these sacred ''silent times in
every day of toll and struggle we shall
be always strong and prepared unto
every good work" Waiting thus upon
God we shall daily renew our wasted
strength, and be able to run and not be
weary, to walk and not faint, and tc
mount up with wings as eagles in bold
spiritual fights.-S. S. Times.
