itars are rising, suns are setting,

Stars are rising, suns are setting,
Nothing stays the stern command;
They who build, this fact forgetting,
Structures raise on shifting sand.
Mist may dim the brightest dawnfng,
Clouds eclipse the light of noon,
Evening, early, weeps for morning,
Change is ever making room,
Happy they who sail life's ocean
When the winds are always fair;
Feel no billows of commotion
From the gales that others share,
But the clouds are ever lying
Low around the horizon;
Fragments, broken, often flying,
Bear the lamp that lights the storm.
"Cast thy bread upon the waters"
Holds meaning most sublime;
Sits to-day and sleeps tomorrow
Safely in the hand of Time.
Seed that's scattered in the morning
Springs when weary flowers rest;
Summer days to autumn dawning
Show the promised harvest best.

Women in Germany.

Every kind of unskilled work done
only by men in our country is done by
women here, Buildings are being erect
ed and women are engaged in unloading
the various teams, in carrying brick and
mortar to the masons, in lifting and
piling the lumber and doing all such
Jobs as only masculine iaborers do in
Boston. They are employed, too, in
sweeping the streets. raking up the mud
in the cutters, clearing the tracks of the
street railroads, changing the switches,
etc. And at any time you may look
from your windows and see them draw
ing heavily loaded trucks through the
streets, two or three pulling and push
ing together. Atanother time you may
see them carrying on their backs bags OF
coal from the wagons up TWO or three
long flights of stairs, task to test the
strength of the brawniest of Irishmen.

Gin his fathers face and said: Father.
FL cannot tell a lie. / did 1t with my
/ little Ratchet"
| n have often wondered that an anec-
dote like this, concerning great man,
should have remained so long unknown.
! am indebted for the above facts to
friends of deceased.
/ The monument to George Washing
ton is deserved tribute to great man.
| It is no SLOUGH of job to be President
the first time, and pay off the help that
it takes to run such government as
this. Let those who think it is easy to
be President try to write an annual mes
sage once, and see how their brain will
throb. a president must not only shine
in society, and be able to stand on one
leg and shake hands with every ten
cent official in the Union, but he must
be quiet and gentlemanly in his home
life, and good proYider in his house
hold. added to all this he must be able
at glance, to distinguish between a
flotilla and a reciprocity. He must
know how to spell at sight, and be able
to sign his name so that it will look like
birds eye view of stroke of paralysis.
He must be firm with foreign powers and
still he must govern his temper and
avoid the unnecessary shedding of other
peoples blood. He should be a good
business man, good statesman, gen
tleman and scholar. We can readily
see that successful President cannot
be picked up on every street. OF course,
he has a good deal of help, but he alone
is responsible. George Washington was
all that was great, but the most success
full thing he did was to quit at the right
time, and to die before he stopped over.
| This is a powerful lesson to some of our
public men not TO overdo the matter of
longevity. Long life is all right in other
walks of life, bat in politics it may be
overdone.
George Washington attracted a great
deal of notice, even in his time, by tell
ing the truth Think what a curiosity
he would be now. And yet truth is
within the reach of all. We may ac-
custom ourselves to almost anything if
we begin gradually and work our way
up to it. George Washington to-day
would no doubt be regarded as a freak
of nature, and yet he told the truth
without effort and without his notes.
He used to entertain his friends through
the long winter evenings by allowing
them to tie his hands and feet and then
blindfold him, and ON the top of all this
he would tell the truth for hours at a
time He was what we call in science
an anomaly. But he had to give up at
last, and finally he yielded to the une-
quail strain and death ensued. People
who contemplate political career with
more or less truth in it should see that
they have strong constitution to begin
with.-BU Nye.

The Ghost Theory of Religion.

Lr. Frederic Harrison objects to Her
bert Spencer's view OF the origin of re-
lgious feeling, and in his article on
"Agnostic Metaphysics published in
January Popular Science Monthly"
thus makes reply:
Mr.. Spencer asserts that all forms of
religious sentiment spring from the
primitive idea of disembodied double of
dead man. l assert that this is a
rather complicated and developed form
of thought; and that the simplest and
earliest form of religious sentiment is
the idea of the rudest savage, that visi-
bic objects around him-animal, vege-
table. and inorganic-have quasi-hunian
feelings and powers, which he regards
with gratitude and awe. Mr.. Spencer
says that man only began to worship a
river or a volcano when he began to
imagine them as the abode of dead mems
spirits. l say that he began to fear or
adore them. so soon as he thought the
river or the volcano had the feelings
and the powers of living beings; and
that was from the dawn of the human
intelligence. The latter view is, | main
tain, far the simpler and more obviou S
explanation; and it is fault in logic to
construct a complicated explanation
when a simple one answers the facts.
Animals think inert things of peculiar
form te be animal; so do infants. The
dog barks at shadow; the horse breads
stea1n-engine; the baby loves her doll,
feeds her, nurses her, and buries her.
The savage thinks the river, or the
mountain beside which he lives, the most
benefcent, awful, powerful of beings.
There is the germ of religion. To assure
US that the savage has no feeling of awe
and affection for the river and the noun
tain, until he has evolved the elaborate
idea of disembodied spirits of dead men
dwelling invisibly inside them, is as idle
as it would be to assure US that the love
and the terror of the dog, the horse, and
the baby are due to their perceiving
some disembodied spirit inside the
shadow, the steam-engine, or the doll. u
