SAYS wsll-known writer: Flesh
is materialized philosophy. Fat
men are nearly always philoso-
pliers. Dickens challenged the
world to point ont mob Of fat
men, ! never saw fat man
hung. Once in kentucky fat
man was sentenced to be hanged,
but when an appeal to the Supreme
Court was taken, the judges, who
were all too heshy too pull on a
boot comfortably, told the con-
demned man that he was too f.
to be hung with any gree OF
pleasure, and consequently gave
him palm-leaf fan and sent him
to the penitentiary to await a par
don, which was not long in COM
ing 1t was afterwards proved
that the fat man was innocent.
History shows that all the philoso-
pliers were fat THAT is, history
proves that some of them we're fat,
and that others should have been.
Don't understand me to say that
great flesh is to be desired Flesh
is more essential to society than it
is to salvation, and we know that
the scriptures inform us that flesh
and blood cannot enter the king
dom of heaven. l do say, though.
that flesh is conducive to philoso-
ply, for mono but the philosopher
can enjoy an excess of adipose
tissue.

CONCERNING the political nature
of the State Prohibition Alliance
its recently adopted constitution
says, eve think it proper to offer
few reasons for the change and
style Of our name, and properly to
define our position, First Ours
is not party in the political sense
of that term. Second We posi-
lively assert that no one is expect
ed or required to quit their party
affiliations to join this alliance.
Third We do not propose to make
any platform or put forth any can
didate for political Office in our
state during the present year I'M
less we are forced SO to do by
some county convention or by our
state conventions nominating
druuken or unworthy men for Of
flee. In such IN event it will be
for the alliance to say what course
they will pursue; but under no
circumstances ought the members
Of this alliance to yield their sup
port to men who are known to be
openly opposed to prohibition,
and who are habitual drinkers and
visitors Of saloons. We propose
to work through the present polit-
ical parties 80 long rs they foster
and encourage the temperance in
terests and sentiment of the state,
but whenever they fail to do this,
then the time will have fully come
when it is our duty to make the
question OF prohibition one Of par-
amount Importance to all others,
and stake our all on this great is
sue"

To Col. Frank James.

The following unique poem was writ
ten by j. |. Y. johnson (Bald Hornet)
well known in newspaper circles in the
Southwest, and was published in re,
cent number of the ST. Louis WHP:
The Hero comes, upon his brow
The laurels of the victor shine,
The forms of worship round him bow
As ifhe We're a thing divine,
A rain of flowers is round him shed
A rain of flowers which should be red
Hail to the hero-glory's son!
Mssouri's boast, Missour's pride,
His battles fought, his crown is won,
Now open the gates of triumph wide;
Let music strike her grandest tones
And smother out the dead meme groans
Thou gallant son ofehivalry,
Thou spirit breath of tale and song;
The golden eye of memory
WIN dwell upon thy triumphs long,
And future maids will dream of YOU
Not as your victims widows do.
Hail to the victor. Let him be
Recipient Of our warmest praise,
The favorite child Of victory,
The brightest star long glory's ways,
Let virgin hands his pathway spread
With flowers-t he reddest of the red!
Hail to the hero! Let his days
Be strung with honors smooth with
peace;
His life has been long dangers ways,
Now let life's tossing dangers cease,
Retire him to blissful shade
TO contemplate the graves, he made.
Let peaceful sunlight Ger him play,
Let honor's mantel wind him round,
Let comfort bless him every day,
Let joy in every place abound;
Let balmy zephyrs, sweet with blooms,
Blow Ger him-and his victims tombs.
The youths of proud MiEsouri's land
win emulate thy living fame;
With eyes of rapture they will stand
While grateful sires extol thy name:
And tell how trains and banks we're won
And blood and people made to run.
o, mighty heroi Now enjoy
The peace and honors thou hast won,
Employ thy days to make thy boy,
Like thee. noble man and son,
Seek scenes where peace and comfort fly
Whence comes no wailing orphan s cry
Thou gallant son of chivalry,
The spirit breath oftale and song,
The golden eye of memory
Will dwell upon they triumphs long,
And future maids will dream of you-
Not as your victims widows do,

A SYSTEM of instruction for
working people has been organic
ed with great success in Copenha-
gen. At public meeting held in
autumn, the number of workmeu
DESTROYS of attending the classes
were found to be upward of 1900.
There are at present upward of
l36 classes, with 1872 teachers, dis
persed over the town in seventeen
different houses. There are if
teen classes of women, comprising
two hundred students, for the most
part under female teachers. The
women are taught hygiene and
chemistry of housekeeping, be-
sides the elementary sciences and
languages. Some male pupils
have asked for instructions in
bookkeeping and the elements of
law; others, for help toward their
own special employment. The
painters wish to get information
about the chemistry of eolors, the
blacksmith about metallurgy. Men
who work by night have formed
into classes; the bakers got their
instructions early in the evening;
and the men at the gas-works, who
work by day and night in turn, get
instructions during one month
with the rest of the students in
the evening, and during the next
month have special classes in the
daytime.

A MANS memory is like his
! stomach. To do its best work it
must have good treatment. Ii
must neither be neglected nor
overloaded. 1t can easily be so
abused by neglect, or by irregular
and unsystematie employment, as
to become chiefly source of an
noyance and discomfort; or, again,
it can be SO overworked, and heavi-
ly taxed that it becomes practical
ly the chief organ or agent of the
entire system, every other portion
.dwindling in it's comparison. The
latter course is the great danger
.of those who value the help of a
tenacious memory. Both memory
and stomach are valuable, not in
proportion to the burdens they
carry, but in proportion to their
training for their part in the work
of the system as q whole, and
either of them is made effective as
much by what is kept from il as
by what is put in.

Occupation and Industry.

What a glorious thing is oecu-
patton for the human heart! Those
who work hard, seldom yield to
fancied or real sorrow. When
grief sits down, folds list hands,
and mournfully feeds upon its own
tears, weaving into funeral pail
the dim shadows that little exer-
ton might sweep away, the strong
spirit is shorn of its might, an d
sorrow becomes our master.
When troubles flow upon you
dark and heavy, toll not with
waves, and wrestle not with the
torrent; rather seek by occupation
to divert the dark waters that
threaten to oyerwhelm you, with
thousand channels which the
duties of life always present.
Before you dream of it, these
waters will fertilize the present
and give birth to fresh flowers
that will become pure and holy in
the sunshine which penetrates tt
the path of duty in spite Of every
obstacle,
Grief, after all, is but a selfish
feeling, and most selfish is the
man who yields himself to the in
diligence Of any passion which
brings no JOY to his fellow men.
But it is not alone of occupation
of the body we would speak, but
also that of the mind. "Be not
overcome with evil, but overcome
evil with good" Aim at that
which is good, cleave to that which
is good; occupy your time with
that which is good, fill your
thoughts with that which is good,
and the assaults of evil will have
lost half their power.
An earnest employment, steady
purpose in life, a dilligent use of
time these are an irresistible
panoply again9t vice, these strike
out of the devils hands his worst
implements of temptation.
You will remember that terrible
touch in one of the Lords sternest
parallels, about the evil spirit re-
turning to the house whence he
came out, and finding it empty,
swept and garnished;" then goeth
he and taketh to himself seven
other spirits more wicked than
himself, and they enter in and
dwell there, and the last state of
the man is worse than than tho
first. .....
What does that ''empty, swept
and gaInished" mean? 1t means
that if your heart is not pre-occu-
pied with good, it will be invaded
by evil. ...
Oh, beware Of idleness in its
every form idle procrastinations,
idle talk, idle habits, idle thoughts
these are certain ruin of the
soul. The laborer who stands idle
i'll the market place is every ready
to be hired in the devils service.
The worm of sin gnaws deepest
into the idle heart. Pre-occupy
your time with honest industry,
and you are safe.
Whatever things are true, hon
est just, pure, lovely of good re-
port if there be any virtue, any
praise, think on these things. Evil
can as little encroach on the do
main of good as darkness con force
its way into the circle of radiance
which lamp filings out into the
night.
