ANsoN.-Mr. n. +. Clapp, who is said
to be making money out of his saloon
business in st. Stephen, despite the Scott
Act, tells Il newspaper man that he is
ready to pay the authorities of North
Arson every cent of the $1,000 of funds
which he took from that town, AS soon
as duly appointed board of commission
crs call upon him for settlement The
.idrocdte is sorry that the Somerset
county grand jury has indicted n. f..
Clapp, Anson's defaulting Collector of
Taxes, who is now running a rum-shop at
st. Stephen. Clapp had sent word home
that he was willing to settle with the
town and to give up the tax book, with
out which large amount of uncollected
taxes cannot be collected. The 1dr0cate
says the action of the grand jury has pro-
hibited an amiceablc settlement of this
nature, and leaves open for the town the
only course of suing CT pp's bondsmen,
with no probability of securing that
much-covetcd Textbook. Clapp mean
while chuckles, piles up ill-gottcn gains
and congratulatcs himself on having the
town on the hip.

As round Thy throne we gather now, =
A concert Of adoring praise!
Mid blessings manifold we dwell.
Which prove how good and great Thou
Srt.
No nation has such cause to tell
How love Divine can thrill the heartl
Ours is the land the Pilgrims trod.
And set apart In prayer to Thee,
That Thou miRhtst be their children's
And theirs the home of liberty.
Ours is the soil with blood and tears
baptized BY those who dared to die
That here might be, through all the years,
The freest land beneath the sky!
We think of them with hearts aglow.
Who BY Thy strength such triumphs
won;
But thanks like living fountains flow
In song to Thee, our shield and sun.
Here ever shine. o God Of grace,
And, till the course of Time expires,
Train for Thyself q Christian race
or men still nobler than their sires!
Oh, may we prize the heritage
Our honored dead SO dearly bought;
And hand 1t down from age to age.

Around our Nation evermore;
And help her spread abroad Thy fame
Till God in Christ all lands adore.

A Hindrance to Digestion.

Some people drink alcohol to assist
them in the digestion of their food. But
what is there in alcohol that can render
food more digestible? Food picked in
alcohol will remain unaltercd for years,
just as food when picked in brine re-
mains unaltered; hence alcohol, like
salt, naturally tends to render food in
digestible. DR.. Norman Kerr, speaking
of this subject, writes:
so far from aiding in digestion, in
toxcating liquors actually hinder this
vital process. Again and again, ON ex-
amining after death the bodies of per-
sons who have died suddenly, ] have
found large quantities Of food which
had been hindered from being digested
by strong drink taken few hours be-
fore. The presence of an intoxicant in
the stomach markedly interferes with
the digestive act.
True, II you take half glass of
brandy after eating too hearty a meal,
you m1y feel temporary relief, but you
have not digested your food. You
have only made the nerves of sensa-
tion-Cod's messengers in the living
body-drunk. so that they can not do
their duty; they can not deliver their
message to the brain that the stomach
has been oppressed by excess in eating. T"

THE HOLY LIFE.
It Ia Not Incompatible with Active, En-.
ergetic and Everyday Legitimate
Work and Pleasure.

1t Ia Not Incompatible with Active, Ea.
ergetic and Everyday Legitimate
Work and Pleasure.
1t was an old belief that il roen wished
to be holy that they should shut them
selves away from society and cultivate
their graces in obscurity. The pictures
we have of monks, anchorets, and
ascetics, present this idea in many
striking examples. Though that has
largely passed away, there is still an
unconscious feeling that holiness is in
compatible with the most robust ex-
ternal living. Men may be religious
and good. useful and going Heaven
ward while engaged in current busi-
ness; but holy-if they be that, they
must be situated differently. The holy
man, therefore, is often one who laughs
little, weeps easily, secludes himself
from society, and lives against rather
than in sympathy with what are the
most healthful influences of his day.
He is sad, non-resistant, full of fore
boding, shrinking from contact with his
fellowmen, and seeking to keep him.
self from being worldly by keeping
himself out of the world. People
look for the holy ones among this class,
not because their judgment tells them
to do SO, but because the habits of the
long past are so strong on them that
they can not do otherwise.
Now, these may be holy people, but
not more truly than many others who
are very different from them in religi-
Gus appearance and habit. 1t is right
that they shall be told this, but especi-
ally proper that all others shall be told
it. Such model is not good one to
be followed by those who are seeking
to cultivate religious character. It
lacks naturalness, energy and vigor to
resist assault and make progress. The
Apostle Paul was a holy man-few
persons have lived nearer God than he
but he was of remarkable practical
force, and used all his traits in doing
his work. He did not seek to bury
any of his talents under bushel. If
we are looking for men just like him
we will be seeking good ones. We
shall find them in stores and shops, on
the streets, in counting-rooms, on
farms, and at trading stations, taking
part in all kinds of legitimate and hon
orable work. Their holiness will not
fail to show itself. but it will not be in
traits and habits that are unmanly.-

THE BRITTLE CHRISTIAN.
or But Little Value and Great Trial to
the Church.

the Church.
Yes, suppose such men and women
may be Christians, but very brittle
ones; that is, they break easy. They
are like packages Of glass or explos-
ives, and should be labeled: Handle
with care.' Such Christians (if we
can. by a great stretch of charity. call
them such) are constant trial to the
pastor and church. for they feel
dread when obliged to say any thing to
them, or to do any thing with them,
akin to that experienced by one feeling
his way in a very dangerous place in
the dark. If by any means the Sum
day-school should vote for one of these
brittle brethren for superintendent,
they almost hold their breath when the
vote is declared for fear that it will not
be unanimous; for if it should not be.
the cross-grained timDer would begin
to break and the pieces fly in express
sions like the following: II positively
refuse to serve and will have nothing
to do with the Sunday-school what
ever" and the poor fellow is entirely
useless for one year at least.
If, in preaching, the minister touches
quite severely upon habits indulged in
by some of these fractions people, ali
the church anxiously watch their
faces, and with sadness expect their
seats to be vacant, and their contribu-
tions to cease, until they get new
minister; or if, when any question is
before the church. a decision is rem
dered contrary to the wishes of one Of
these pieces OF poor timber, he is
broken and useless and the good neO.
pie are grieved. Now these brittle
people are of but little value, and o
great trial to the church. Let ua
plead with you all, my dear brethren.
not to become one of them; but If you
are troubled with any of the symptoms
of this terrible disease of brittleness 60.
