very Paris of brilliancy. 1t is not
to be wondered at that the remark.
ably low rates made over the en-
tire system of the B. & 0. should
be attended by so large an out
pouring of people. Over the whole
line from the Atlantic, the glori-
Gus Chesapeake and the great
rivers to the lakes, the rate is but
one-half the regular fare, or ons
fare for the round trip The tick
cts go upon sale at all stations on
July Sd, remaining on sale every
day to and including the Sth.
Thence on the tickets are good for
return trip at any time up to and
including July 18th. Every accom-.
mediation is being provided by the
railroad company to. insure the ut
most satisfaction and comfort of the
patrons and nothing will be left
undone to complete such prepar-

Elegant B. & O. sleepers will be
attached to all through trains, and
net only will they make the trip
without change, but new and most
comfortable regular coaches as well.
When it comes to time. the b. & O.

equalled, and when safety is con-
sidered, no road in the world equals
its record for upwards of halfceu-
fury.
The B. & O. depot in Chicago is
by long odds the most advantage

in that city. Those who have
travelled know what it is to be in
crowded union depot with the
trains Of half dozen roads coming
in and going out; everybody's bag

and employees SO harrassed and
bothered by countless questions as
to be in condition to answer none
of them to the point. The passen-

wrong train, has the check for

of the B. & 0. there is none of this
confusion, no wrangling, pulling
or hauling. No trains but its own
come in or go out. No baggage
piled up Of other roads, and every
thing SO Systematically arranged

a jumbled condition of things in
any respect is impossible. The de-

BOBBY AND THE RAM.

When Bobby Smart was six years
old, he was left to the care of his I'M
Gle James, who lived in the country.
His aunt took him to his future home,
and at the depot he saw his uncle for
the first time.
Bobby was lonely and sad; his
uncle often treated him with cruelty.
The cold winter come on early. Bob
by was the only boy about the farm,
and he had to work very hard. His
clothing was unfit for winter wealth
er, and he often suffered from the
cold.
Among the duties he had to per-
form was that of tending a flock of
sheep. One afternoon, when there
were signs of snow-storm, he was
sent to drive the flock to the barn.
He started for the field, but his
clothes we've so thin that he was be-
numbed with the cold. He sat down
on large rock to rest himself. He
felt strangely tired and cold. In g
little while he began to feel drowsy
Then he thought it was SO nice and
comfortable that he would stay there
awhile. In a very few minutes he
was asleep and perhaps dreaming.
Suddenly he was aroused by a ire
mendous blow which sent him spin
ming from his perch on the rock t.
the ground. Looking about him b,

THE STORY OF A SPIDER WEB.

To me, the web of a spider is truly
a study, and l learn many things
from it. First, | notice the patience
of the little spider in spinning his
delicate threads. What a model of
this virtue he is He is far from be-
ing pretty, put his work and his VIZ
tue of patience are beautiful, surely.
Then think of the skill the fellow
has. And another thing | learn
from ugly Mr.. Spider is that patience
wins. l never saw a spider (and l
have been acquainted with good
many of them, and like to watch the
morose looking specimens), who
don't catch something nice in his
trap before he give it up, $50 to the
ant thou sluggard," and $50 to the
spider, thou impatient" ought to go
hand in hand, as proverbs. And an
other thing. You may say what you
please, but gentleness tells. Who
ever saw rough, burly spider? Spi-
ders know that they can catch more
flies with soft delicate meshes than in
rough ways. A spider might spit at
the flies and chase them, and get all
his family at work shouting after
them, and never catch q fly in the
world. But he is gentle, and seems
to know the old proverb that you can
catch more flies with sugar than with
vinegar. But see the way he sits at
the center of his web-work, and feels
out as it were, all along the wires, to
the very extremity of his meshes,
that sparkle in the sun shine. Every
thread is like his own nerves. /
think all this is like the human heart.
The threads are our affections. Touch
our feelings, and the heart at the
center feels it in a moment. Let us
try and keep our feelings soft and
tender. Let conscience respond tc
the SLIGHTEST touch.

saw an old sheep near by. The
creature looked as though he had
been doing mischief, and Robby was
no longer at loss to know where the
blow came from; but he thought the
attack an accident, and in short
time he was again in the land of Nod.
Again the ram very rudely tumbled
him over in the snow. He was now
wide awake, and provoked at the at
tack of the beast. He began to
search for a stick to chastise his enc
my. The ram understood his inten-
ton, for he turned upon Bobby as if
to finish the poor boy. Bobby was
forced TO take to his heels, and run
toward home.
The ram chased him, while the
rest of the flock followed after their
leader. The inmates of the farm
house wsre surprised to see Bobby
rushing towards the house as fast as
his little legs could carry him. His
hair was streaming in the wind, and
he was very much terrified. Close
upon him was the old ram, kicking
up his heels in his anger. Behind
could be seen a struggling line Of
sheep doing thier best to keep up.
Robby won the race, however.
Uncle came out in time to turn the
flock into the barn. 1t was long
time before Bobby would venture
near the ram again.
Bobby knows that but for the eff
forts of that old ram in knocking him
from his seat on that bitterly cold
day, he would been among the angels
in a very short time. The sleepy
feeling which overcame him would
have ended in death.
Bobby declares that the ram knew
all the time what allied him, and that
he butted him from the rock on pur-
pose. l cannot explain it, but do
know that "God moves IN mysteri-
Gus way His wonders to perform. -

How Watch Gases are MQde.

1t is q fact not generally known that the
James Boss Gold Watch Gases really con-
tain more pure gold than many solid"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from a to 10 karats,
and or karat case is often sold for II
or IA karats. 1t is NOT economy to buy a
watch case SO poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or one SO soft that it viii
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one SO thin that slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
1t is economy to buy james Boss Gold
Watch Case, in which NONE of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an erperi-
ment-it has been made nearly Mirtv qearS.

At one of the large republican
meetings held in Iowa last fall, where
thousands of people congregated,
school-house on wheels was marched
through the streets drawn by four
horses and preceded by brass band,
and in the house a school teacher was
teaching the children. This was fol-
lowed by saloon fitted upon wheels
with a representation of bar, drunk
en- men, and bar-keeper tempting
boys to drink. These were accom-
panied by banner, on which was
inscribed, ''Look on this picture, and
then on that" The people decided
for the home and against the saloon
by twenty-five thousand majority.

THE SPIRITUAL EFFECTS OF
DRUNKEN NESS.

Century says: "This loss of self-re-
spect, the lowering of ambition, and
the fading out of hope are the signs
of progress in this disease in the
character. II is a mournful spectacle
that of the brave, ingenious, high
spirited man sinking steadily down
into the degradation of inebriety;
but how many such spectacles are
visible all over the land And it is
not in the character of those alone
who are notorious drunkards that
such tendencies appear. They are
often distinctly seen in the lives of
men who are never drunk. Sir Hen
ny Thompson's testimony is emphatic
to the effect that 'the habitual use of
fermented liquors to the extent far
short of what is necessary to produce
intoxication, Injuries the body and di-
minishes the mental power If, as
he testifes, large proportion of the
most painful and dangerous maladies
of the body are due to 'the use of
fermented liquors, taken in the guam
tity which is conventionaIly deemed
moderate then it is certain that such
use of them must result also in seri-
Gus injuries to the mental and moral
nature. Who does not know reputa-
BILE gentlemen, physicians, artists,
clergymen, even,who were never
drunk in their lives, and never will
be, but who will reveal in conversa-
ton and in conduct certain melan-
choly effects of the drinking habit ?
The brain is so often infamed with
alcohol that its functions are imper-
fectly performed and there is a per-
ceptible loss of mental power and
moral tone. The drinker is not con-
cious of this loss; but those who
know him best are painfully aware
that his perceptions are less keen, his
judgments less sound, his temper less
serene, his spiritual vision less clear,
because he tarries every day little
too long at his wine. Even those
who refuse to entertain ascetic thee.
ries respecting these beverages may
be able to see that there are uses of
them that stop short of drunkenness.
and that are extremely hurtful to the
mind, and heart, as we'll as the body.
That conventional idea of moderation
to which Sir Henry Thompson refers.
is quite elastic: the term is stretched
to cover habits that are steadily de-
spelling the life of it's rarest fruits.
The drinking habit is often defended
by reputable gentlemen to whom the
very thought of debauch would be
shocking, but to whom, if it were only
lawful, in the tender and just solicit
tude of friendship, such words as
these might be spoken: 1T is true
that you are not drunkards and may
never be; but if you could know.
what is too evident to those who love
you best, how your character is slow

fneness of outline; how your art de-
r teriorates in the dclicacy of its touch
how the atmosphere of your life
seems to grow murky and the sky
lowers gloomily above you-yor

gence harmless in its measure. 1t i.
