Speaking of the revival work in

good words for the w. G. T. u:
There is another class of Chris
tians who are accomplishing a
great deal in this city. We refer
to the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union, which We are glad to
learn is meeting with success.
The organization is made up from
the various churches Of the city,
and already has a good member
ship. No better field than Charles
ton for this class of Christian mis-
sionary work is found this side of
China. We predict for these good
ladies a success, that will even
astonish the most sanguine of their

DEAR FRIENDS OF THE W. e.
T. u
l am sending word of appeal
to the Educators OF the land,
begging them to encourage the
students in their charge, to organize
against drink, against vice in
every form, and in support of
temperance and virtue. I am sure
of the prayers of many trem.
bling-hearted mothers who long to
see their boys made strong in pow
ers of resistance to evil. / feel
gratefully confident beforehand of
the upholding and sympathy of the
women who have fought in this
temperance warfare SO long and SO
we'll.
We are asking che young PEG.
pie OF the schools to unite, not for
Temperance only, but for "whatso-
ever things are true" and "whatso-
ever things are pure" If in the
colleges to which you have access,
In the schools near your homes, or
which you may be able to visit in
the line of your work, you can give
to the organization of students a
word of help; if you can forward
to me the name of teachers who
could be especially interested in
behalf of Temperance for students,
or the names of parents who will
welcome such movement to unite
the young for good, I shall be per-
sonally indebted and the work will
be advanced as it cannot be with
out your valued help.
l know how burdened are all
good workers; yet if local and State
Unions can make place for this
work, also, in their hearts, it will
find place in their plans, and
workers to carry them out. We
need State and local Superintend
ents and organizers and women in
every State to visit personally such
schools and colleges as are already
open to US. Any communication
on this subject may be addressed to

HIDDEN GOLD.
nYJ K. LupLuM.

4'The carpet is DID," they said; "it is worthless
and worn, and gray;
We will have it taken up, and new one put
down to day.
Old things should be reverenced, no doubt, but
only when owning some grace,
Which this old carpet does not, and new one
shall take it's place.
SO they went to work, as they said, at the car
pet, worn and gray,
That had covered the Office floor of the mintfo
many a day;
But now it was worthless, they said, worthless,
and worn, and SO
new one should take It's place, and this old
thing should go.
When, lol as they took it up and shook out
each dusty fold,
The whole Of tns floor beneath it was covered
with shining gold
For years and years it had gathered the crumbs
of a mighty wealth.
Caught by the heavy carpet, hid in its folds by
stealth.
They gathered the shining fragments, sitting the
gold from the dust,
A precious harvest, truly, pure and untouched
by rust;
And the carpet they folded away, smiling to
think that they
Had called it worthless and graceless only that
very day
Aht what lesson lies hidden in the folds OF the
carpet gray
A lesson we meet in life constantly, day after
day:
II we would but look for the good, ere condemn
ing it worthless and old,
We would gather many fragment OF perfect,

A Victim to Patent NOstrums.
[From the Syracuse Standard

IL
A gentleman of this city is at pres
ent suffering from the loss of foot
owing to the application of q patent
nostrum which brought on infam-
nation and gangrene until amputa.
ton became necessary. The manufact-
ure and sale of worthless stuff under
the name of medicine ought to be regu-
lated more closely that it is. The evil
Is not as great as the whisky curse,
but it is bad enough and laws against
it should be enforced more readily
than laws against drunkenness. A
physician who has spent his life in
faithful study is liable to prosecution
for malpractice if he makes an error
of Judgment. Any ignoramus may
concOct nasty mixture of herbs,
flavor it with whisky, deceive the pub
lie, make his fortune and snap his fin
gers at his victims and the law. If he
were liable to trial for manslaughter
like his superiors, the ordinary hard
working physicians, he would be lit
tie more careful about his ingredients.
Nine-tenths of the lotions, plasters,
ointments, liniments, bitters and ton
les, sold as medicine, are about as val
liable as ditch water and as nasty. If
the few patent medicines that have
any merit were given the entire field
there would be fewer fortunes made
out of gullible people, but the man
who conducted the crusade against all
the Internal lot would deserve monu-
ment taller that George Washington's.
The worthless patent medicine should
be confcated by government officers,
and the makers should be prosecuted.
They are obtaining money under false
pretenses and are the meanest sort OF
swindlers, because they deceive people
when deception may be fatal. War to

The teacher of the Sunday school
class was telling the little boys about
temptation and showing how it some
times came in the most attractive
guise. She used as an illustration the
paw of cat.
"Now," said she, ''you have all seen
the paw of cat. It is as soft as VEL
vet, isn't 1T"
"Yeseml" from the class.
"And you have seen the paw of
dog?"
'sYesem."
"Well, although the cats paw seems
like velvet there is nevertheless con-
cealed in it something that hurts.
What is it?"
No answer.
"The cog bites," said the teacher,
s'when he is in anger, what does the
cat do?"
Scratches" replied the boy.
Correct" said the teacher, nodding
her head approvingly, "now what has
the cat got that the dog hasn't?"
"Whiskers !" exclaimed a boy on the
back seat, and the litter that ran
around the class brought the lesson to
an end.

Within limits, of course, the good old
saws obtain, "any man is fit for anv
place. and sstthe best man for the
post is the man I like best" But
there are limits to the application of
even. these principles. Brag will do B.
good deal, but it won't quite make O.
silk purse out of sow's ear, at least,
not often, only once, perhaps, in a.
hundred years, as, for example, when
Sir Hardinge Giffard was made lord
chancellor. Therefore, maintain that
if g. man is a sow's ear, he had, as q
general rule, better know it, and thus
put some rational bounds to his am
bition andavoid disappointment. By
a. careful attention to these rules, and
some others too obvious to mention,
the man who goes into politics as a
business may make q good thing out
of it. II he be really an able man he
may go very high indeed perhaps
even (but not often) to the very
top of the tree. If he be man
of more moderate qualifications,
he may become safe and respect
ed under secretary. If he be q
man of no qualifications at all, but
merely of good manners and a decent
presence" as it is called, he may at
least count upon colonial governor
ship. The really trying period in a
politician career is when he gets his
first appointment. Now, for the first
time, the pinch of real work and re-
sponsibility comes upon him. The
wisest course for him to pursue (alasl
how rarely does a man see it) is to
shirk them both. The really ''capable
administrators" the statesmen who
live quietly and die honored, are those
who hand over everything to the per-
manent officials, and take the credit of
it. Be civil then, to the permanent Of
icials, find out the clever ones among
them, listen to what they say, pick
their brains, and feather your own
nest with their valuable suggestions"
This is the golden rule of official life.
1t is by attending to this that states
men get the ame of being "far-seeing,"
"men of their age," and so on. The
only thing that a statesman will not
be likely TO make by attending to the
permanent officials is history. But
then, no man who takes up politics as
q business wants to make history.
He only wants to make q career for
himself.
