The destructive forces that underlie
the foundations Of society and are ever
struggling to Overturn the existing order
Of things were never more active than at
the present time. They have had a free
vent on several occasions in Europe and
the horror caused by their excuses Will
not soon fade from the public mind. The
governing principles OF these elements is
destTucG7eness. They aim only at
pulling down. No thought Of salutaTy
reform or corrective restraint in relation
to the abuses which mar the government
uader which they live enters into their
calculations. The vast power Of labor,
since those elements were introduced into
this country, has attracted their attention
and they have been at work with an
energy and zeal worthy Of a better cause,
to utilize it for their base purposes. The
spirit Of socialism has insinuated itself
into labor organizations and poisoned
the noble impulses that caused meal
culabie misery to the children of toll who
gave it cOuntenRnCe. Thousands Of fami-
lies in the southwest have been stricken
down from the enjoyment Of a comfor-
table competence to the depths of misery
and poverty by the influence Of socialism.
In New York it is particularly rampant
and is kept within bounds only by the
strong arm Of the law.

In the sea wood he sits alone,
By men forgotten and unknown,
A soul struck suddenly to stone.
Unloading through the centuries
The bloom and fading of the trees,
The ceaseless surgiug Of the seas.
Bright flowers spring about his feet,
Above him where the branches meet
The little birds make music sweet
He knows not of them, his still gaze,
Piercing Times dim mysterious ways,
Sees but one day among the days:
The day that left him sitting there.
Through all eternity to bear
The burden OF a fixed despair.
Forgotten all the men who trod
In the dead years that same green sod,
The men who WOrshipped him as god,
No shadow on his awful eyes
Has fallen from their prayers and cries,
From blood and smoke of sacrifice.
Intent in silent majesty
He sits and looks upon the sea,
Sole shar5r OF his mystery
Waiting until those mighty hands
Shall burst from out their stony bands
And grasp the scepter Of the lands,
He hears not the long waves that pour
Forever on the sounding shore
One sad song, Never, never more.

Lewiston CIsl Journal.
A story they tell about Andrew jock,
the veteran railway mail clerk, comes IN
well at this time, when they are making
so many changes in the postal service.
jock is the oldest railway clerk in Maine,
and there are few if any, on the postal
cars anywhere as old as he; yet he Is &C
tive efficient and sharp. Years ago an
other fellow succeeded in getting him
SELF appointed to fill Jacks place. OF
course jock consented to make one or
more trips with him to show him the
ropes. It happened that on the first trip
they made together there was an acct
dent and the car was thrown from the
track. Jeck caught firmly hold of the
table when he felt the first jar and came
out Of the accident unscEatched and not
the least disconnected. The novice was
flung IN a heap IN one corner and badly
bruised.
Does this sort of thing happen very
oftenG" he asked jock.
"Oh, yes" said jock. "And I forgot
to tell you that We all have a place to
cling to when It comes. You must have a
place purpOsely fixed TO get a stiff grip
on with your hands"
The top Of the car was much battered
by time and the new man asked before
they had gone much further on the route.
'shIr. jock, what has made all these
scars in the top of this CARP
That's nothing" said jock. "IBa
only where my heels have struck when
I've been tossed into the air by accidents
such as We have had this morning"
When they finished their run the new
appointee said he guessed he had enough
Of it, and would go back to selling gro
eeries for a living, and Jeck staid in the
railway mail service then and ever after.
