foreigner. l believe l would prefer
to be q Mormon or an Indian not
taxed.
l am often led to ask, in the Ian
guage of the poet, 'Is the Caucas
ian played out?" Most erybody
can have a good deal of fun in this
country except an American. He
seems to be too busy all the time
paying his taxes that he has very
little time to mingle in the giddy
whirl with the alien. That is the
reason that the allen who rides
across the United States on the
Limited mali and writes a book
about us before breakfast wonders
why we are always in hurry.
That is the reason why we have to
throw our meals into US with a dull
thud, and hardly have time to
paintain a warm personal friend
ship with our families. We do not
care for wealth but we must have
freedom, and freedom costs money.
We have advertised 20 furnish a
bunch of liberty to every man, wO-
man and child who comes to our
shores, and we are going to deliver
the goods, whether we have any
left for ourselves or not. What
would the great world beyond the
seas say to us # some day the blue
eyed Mormon, with his heart full OF
love for our female Summaries and
our old women's homes, should
land upon our coasts and find that
we are using Ill the liberty our
selves? Therefore, l am in favor Of a
statue of liberty enlightening the
worldsbecause 1t will show that we
keep it on tap winter and summer.
We want the whole broad world TO
remember that when it gets tired
of oppression it can come here to
America and cypress US. We are
used to it and we rather like it. If
we don't like it, we can get on the
steamer and go abroad where we
can visit the mOnarchies and have a
high old time.
The sight of the goddess of liber-
W standing there IN New York
night and day. bathing her feet in
the ripping sea will be a good
thing. 1t will also be productive of
good in direction that many have
not thought of. AS she stands
there, day after day, bathing her
feet in the broad Atlantic, perhaps
some moss grown Mormon moving
toward the far west, and confirmed
victims Of the matrimonial habit,
may fix the bright picture in his so
called mind, and remembering how,
on his arrival in New York he saw
liberty bathing her feet with impu-
nifty, he may be lead in after years
to try it on himself BILL NYE.

priratA TALL With God.


There is an art in everything.
If, when the harvests are ripe, we
should 90 into the fields, we would
find that while one husbandman
goes over the field, cutting down
the grain with great exhaustion,
at the end of the first swath before
he has strenth again to strike into
the grain, another man goes for
two or three hours without halt
ing, save 20 sharpen his iDstru-
ment-goes from one side of the
field to The other without any spe-
cial fatigue. What is the differ
ence? In the one case the man
knows how to swing the scythe,
and in the other he does not. One
man will 90 out with a fishing ap-
paratus that has cost him fifty dol
lars, and catch absolutely nothing
the livelong day; while another
man, with an apparatus prepared
with his own jackknife, will catch
so many of the spoils of the water
that his basket will scarcely hold
the one case, the man knows how
to fish in the other, he does not,
We acknowledge that there is an
art in everything. Is there any art
in religion? Why is it that one
man starte out in the christian life
and makes rapid advancement? He
seems to walk across the field, &C
ing from one degree of grace to an
other, getting stronger and might
Ter in the christian life, with nc
especial drawback, his misfertunes
and his trials becoming his cead-
tutors, so that at the end of thirty
years he can lock back and see
that he has made one long, com
plete Triumph; while another man
who will be thirty years IN the
church OF God and achieves moth =
ing, standing where he was at the
start, or having retreated, not real
ly having so much faith or useful
ness as the first year. Why is it
that one man goes ahead and the
other goes back? Is there any art
in religion? There is. No man
gets on in the christian life by &C.
cident. There is no such thing as
haphazard. If man advances in
the christian life rapidly and
nightly, it is because he employs
certain means and does certain
things in order to gain those
achievements.
There is one great secret OF adj
vancement in religious experience,
and that is secret prayer. 1t is
very easy to come into a public as
semblage, and stimulated by the
hearty singing and by the cheerful
faces of scores and hundreds of
Gods people, to bow our headsi and
lift our hearts in prayer; but to
have some secret place where day
by day, either at morning or at
noon, or at night, we kneel down
before God, no one in the whole
world listening, and to do that
thing day after day. and month at
ter month, and year after year, and
for scores of years-that is not so
easy a thing to do. 1t wants some
perseverance, some high apprecia-
ton of duty, some grand christian
determination, some Almighty help.
No one can pray in public his
whole prayer. Take the best man in
the world, and let him rise up be-
fore God in public assemblaSe, and
tell all his temptations and sorrows
and annoyances and grievances and
and he would clear the
room in ten minutes.
