A Cheerful Prophecy

Canon Farrar, the eminent Eng lish divine, in his farewell lecture delivered in the New York Acade my of music, closed with the fol lowing peroration:
 "This country of yours is a land in strength the most overwhelming and in wealth the most affluent You have grown excellent in vir' tue; you have here tue elements and developments of national right. eousness; you not only equal other nations, you excel them. And whys Because you are under the protecting guidance of ceaseless- ly vigilant God, to whom you bow and whose gracious smiles are the prosperity and progress every where evident God who says: Them that honor me, will honor.' 1 believe that this America will be preserved from the perils which will beset her; by the hallowed memories of her glorious dead; that her aspera.ion will be blessed and fulfilled through the virtue of her present religious intellectuality. l believe that she will disenehant nations from the horrors of wal by the enchantment of her peace; that she will lead nations in the trium. phant path which behind the grow. ing history ofher government, and smite the hoary head of inveterate abuse which springs up in govern ment from false types of orthodox faith and goodness. For these ob- jects, God has given her a bound less territory, has formed her tow ering mountains, has marked the course of her mighty rivers and spread above all the taintless azure of her skies. By the blessing of God you are fulfilling the purpose of God, and no power can dim the glory which will shine in the reali. zatisn of such divine intentions"

A Few Words to Democrats.

This is a general election year in Arkansas. It will be an impor- tant year in that regard, and dem ocrats cannot too soon prepare for work. They should at once look to their focal organizations in the various counties, perfect them wherever action may be found nee. essaty; and put the party on foot ing for another sweeping victory. The causes of local bickerings should be removed, wherever ex isting, by mutual concessions, and determination to strike hands for the common good. Nothing should be left undone to insure victory everywhere-in the counties, ill the congressional districts-every, where throughout the state.
 Under the democratic admins tration Arkansas has prospered greatly. Wholesome government has been the almost universal rule; the reverse of it the rare excep ton. There Ia little if any com plaint, because the officials tt whom the duties of administration were committed have so executed their trusts as to merit and receive public appreciation.
 It would be difficult to persuade the people of Arkansas to dismiss so capable, faithful and zealous { public servant as the democrati, party has proved for the benefit 0 any servant tried and proved, only in bare assertions. None such has been offered; for the people sec and think for themselves, auc know by whom they are best serv ed.
 Perfect the county organizations Put everything in good shape.-- Arkansas Gazette.

"I Ought to Have Anticipated
 this."

A few days have passed over the grave of s noble young man, from whose lips fell these words, He had well represented the en. terprise of life insurance, but neg lected his soul. When the physi- elan informed him that his sudden and severe illness was fatal and his time on earth very brief, he said with the deliberation, "I ought to have anticipated this; but it is now too late"
 The words thrilled the hearts of those that loved him and watched the ebbing life. Yes, he ought to have anticipated the possibility ot such a hurried departure from the scenes of probation. o, what a burden of conscious folly and guilt and peril extorted that confession from the dying man! The number of those who have felt the anguish of such an awakening 10 the stu. pendous failure of q human soul for eternity, the judgment day can alone reveal. Forever will tho dreadful thought weigh down the lost spirit-the savereSt part of Erll. American Messenger,

Only Love Un dsrsianss.

Love is the irue interpreter and clyilizsr. Indifference or hate al. ways misjudses. Not only is the secret of the Lord with them that fear Him, but "he that lOvoth is born of God and knoweth God" If We we do not love God, we will misunderstood His proyidential dealings, and murmur at even Ills morcies. And we need also to love men, or we will mijudge them. You cannot be quarrelsome or cynical, or revengeful, if your heart is full of loving compassion for the struggling and mistaken, shining multitude about you. II love teaches us to look up to God as a Father, and 10 think of of ey' cry man or woman we meet as a tempted and dying brother or sis ter, we will forget our bitterness, and resentment and jealousy; we will learn the lesson that Jesus taught: "Ye ought also to lay down your lives for the brethren" -Selected.
