who have, in all its history, made the
world better, have at first been in a minor
ity as the eye Of sense saw it, they have
been dcluged with misunderstanding and
abuse. They even called Jesus mad, and
would have held him from his work on the
| charge of insanity. And a governor said
to Paul reasoning of righteous ess and
judgement, sThou art beside thyself; much
learning doth make thee mad" And so all
along, the history of the worlds progress
has been the history of the worlds blind
ness, abusing in unreasoning hatred its
saints and ~saviors. The world always
crowns with thorns what God crowns with
eternal honors. Be wise and be willing to
wear the crown of thorns that you may
wear the crown OF eternal honors, Care
never for abuse or SANDER. Laugh at this
rage of the devil. Know that SANDER is
the argument of FOOLS and knavcs, that it is
the last born Of idiocy. Give it always
that smile of complacency arising from
your assurance of victory-a smile that
makes it so blindly mad that it bites itself
with its own poison like the enraged and
helpless serpent that it is.
Ont of the holy laughter of our little
children, with the kisses of our pure and
happy wives warm on our faces, let us
think upon this question, act upon it. BE
sacred home the holiness of our thought.
the courage of our actioni Think OF the
sad children, with saddest age intheir young
faces, faces from which JOY has fled, Upon
which come brute blows instead of father
hood kisses. Think of wives To whom love
has become a demon mocking, the steps,
once gladly listened to, now striking terror
to the heart as If home was the awful
haunt Of devils. Think of the crime and
human Indebtedness, The miseries dark
and torturing as hell, which is the dead sea
fruit of the license system, and say In the
name OF brother love, in the name Of Him
whose cross is holy with the glory of I'M
selfish love, in the name of your own
home, in the name of your country, in the
naine of clean politics, i'll the name of every
thing upon which the saloon is laying its
defiling touch, shall this accnrsed traffic
continue to stain the flag which floats over
the land of the free and the home of the
brave? Take your party, take your politi-
cal preiudices and hatreds, take the very
w~eightiest thing that you can say forthem,
put all this in one side of the balance, then
in the other side put your wife and little
ones. your .:ome and country and all the
weak am. sad ru~m-accursed ones, and with
the hand of prayer up towards the judg-
ment seat, up towards the mercy seat, hold
the scales aud see on which side will fall
the balances, and those balances follow
with unselfisli, unwavering, unwearying
bravery until with a clean ballot you do
honor to a clean conscience, and strengthen

BREATsaING MIGHT AIR.

An extraordinary fallacy is the dread of
night air. What air can we breathe at
night but night air? The choice is be-
tween pure night air from without and
foul air from within. Most people prefer
the latter-an ~unaccountable choice. What
will they say if it is proved to be
true that fully one-half of all the dis
eases we suffer from are oecasioned by
people sleeping with their windows shut ?
An open window, most nights in the year,
can never hurt any one. In great cities
night air is often the best and purest to be
had in twenty-four hours. | could better
understand shutting the windows in town
during the day than during the night, for
the sake of the sick. The absence Of
smoke. the quiet, all tend to make the
night the best time for airing the patient.
One of our highest medical authorities on
consumption and climate has told me that
the air of London is never SO good as after
10 O'Clock at night Always air your
room, then, from the outside air, il posi-
Bile. Windows are made to open, doors
are made to shut-a truth which seems ex-
tremely difficult of apprehension. Every
room must be aired from without, every
passage from within.-Sanitaay World.

THE CRY OF THE DREAMER.


! am tired of planning and toiling
In the crowded hives OF men;
Heart weary of building and spelling,
And spelling and building again.
II | long for the dear old river,
Where | dreamed my youth away;
For q dreamer lives forever,
And Il toiler dies in Il day.
i am sick of the snowy seeming,
Ola life that is half n lie,
OF the faces lined with scheming
In the throng that hurries by.
From the sleepless thoughts endcavor,
would go where the children play:
Fort dreamer lives forever,
And a toilcr dies In a day.
/ feel no pride, but pity
For the burdens the rich endure,
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives of the poor.
oh, the little hands too skillfui,
And the child mind choke with weeds!
The daughters heart grows wilful,
And the fathers heartthat bleedsi
No, no. from the streets rude hustle,
From trophies of mart and stage,
| would fly to the woods low rustic,
And the meadows kindly page.
Let me dream rs of old by the river,
And be loved for the dream alway;
For II dreamer lives forever,
And II toilcr dies in Il day.

EmEnsoN,s MODE OF comrosrrroN.

The method by which Emerson collected
his thoughts and his very concise and
telling essays will be a revelation and slim
illus TO many. He exclaimed to his cousin
his mode OF composition. He said that
usually, after breakfast, he went to walk
IN the woods in pursuit of a thought, very
much as boys go ont in summer TO catch
butterflies. But when successful. no boy
was ever happier with his butterfly than
he was with his thought. Having cap
tured his thought, he put a pin through it
and took it home, and placed it in his col
lection. He explained that he made a
note of his thought; but. generally, only in
his mind; and that he kept what he called
a thought book, in which he entered
each thought, having first worked it over
aud clothed it in fitting garb. Sometimes
he would 20 again in the afternoon into
the woods, and there, or perhaps by the
roadside, find another thought, which he
would treat in the same manner. But
he succeeded in securing one thought a
day. The thoughts were entered one after
the other in the thought book, without re-
gard to their connection. Whenever he
wished to write an essay or a lecture, he
made free use of the thoughts as seemed
fitting, and ~stringing them together as a
child strings beads on a thread. "After
this explanation adds Mr.. Haskins, Il
was at no loss to account for the mosaic
character OF much of his writing
