The GREATEST possible injury that a man
kan do to humanity IL to preach infidel-
ity.
God never has placed one single thing
misfortune ~, the things we kant get we
want most.
1t il a terrible burden for the heart to
carry to the grave a secret it cannot re-
veal
The strongest trait in human karakter
IL the love of chance. A man who never
takes chance will never git abuv the dig
nifty of tending glide board.
A man without habits is without kar-
aktcr; he is like a bull's-eye watch-hc
may keep time, but he has got to be
wound up regular to do it,
Progress IL the great law; and the more
progress we make here the nearer we shall
be to heaven when we die.
Every man kan be hero ON hiz own
dunghill but to be a hero ON sum boldly
elSc's dunghill IL what strains the rooster.
The greatest bore on this earth is the
one who kant talk. about anything him
self.
a very long krecd il like very long
tail, more liable to tangle the possessor
and be slept on hi others.
Spots kount mi child; yu kant take

BOWS ON rHE JERICHO ROAD.
BOB Burdetfe Advises His Son 30 be
COBtenfed i'm Jerusalem.

So you have got yourself into trouble
my son? Gone little wrong, have you
! les; well that means you know that you
have gone clear wrong. because there is
only one kind Of right and one kind Of
wrong; there is no mugwumpery in morals,
my boy. And you've had such hard
time getting back that it's made you
little bitter and cynical, and you think all
the world is rather hard and selfish and
pitiless. and especially severe on you
Well l wouldn't feel that way at all if
were you. / don't think / ever feel that
way, and know more about it than Won do.
I've been further down on the Jericho
road than You. Went down there to let
my beard grow. Great town for toots,
from way back It's a bad country
Never heard Of but one good woman in
Jericho, and She didn't move in good So
ciety. But, my son, it isn't society fault
that you got into trouble. You knew
what the Jericho road was before you
went down that way. You knew there
was a curse on the town. You were safe
enough in Jerusalem, why didn't you stay
here? Don't feel bitterly towards all the
world because you fell among thieves and
got cleaned out. 1t is a kind, good natured
forgiving old world, if you give it a chance
to be forgiving. True, it doesn't always
look that way TO a fellow in trouble, be-
cause then the fellow is apt to look at the
wrong people You found on the Jericho
road, say, six or eight ihieves-that is.
half a dozen professionals and two
amateurs who passed by on the other side
and only one good Samaritan, and nat
urally it seems to You that the ieaven of
good is utterly lost in that great mass Of
rasealiiy and hypocrisy; but bless yoa,
my son, in the great honest living world.
in the world that is trying TO do right and
trying to lead men to better things than
Jericho excursions, in the only world that
really loves and cares for just such young
fellows as you, in the real world of men
and women who deal with the young man
all the more gently when his smarting
wounds are deepest. the one good Samari
tan outweighs regiment of those Williams
who beat you, and robbed you, and passed
you by on the road to Jericho. Never mind
the priest and the Levite, my son. They
were going down to Jericho too, you re-
member; that's the kind of priests they
were. And one closing word, my SOD
Unless you are smarter and stronger than
the thieves down Jericho way-and guess
maybe you are not; very few men are
why, you keep off that road You stay in
Jerusalem, and you'll have more money
and less headache.

a MORAL VIEW OF SMOKING.

Please don't smoke! IF You have not
formed the habit, keep yourself ont of
temptation. If you are just beginning to
like the smell. perchance the TASTE of a
fragrant Havana" don't go beyond the
beginning. If the habit has fairly got
hold of you, shake it off II is much bet
ter, in every way, that you should abstain
from the filthy inconvenient. deleterious
practice of smoking Better for your
pocket; better for your health; better for
your intellect; and better for your morals
And that is just the point we are after-the
animus Of our injunction. And now we
know just what will happen. Nine tenths
OF those who read this will turn at once to
not less than good dozen ofexcellent peo-
ple-pious, Christian people; folks who
live virtuously and make the world better
for their living; but who, nevertheless. do
smoke, and that habitually and persist
emily. But, allowing this to be true, which
we do. what does it prove ? just what
can be proven by the prevalence of any
other deleterious habit-the power of d.
vine grace and well-settled human convic-
tions to withstand the tendencies of evil.
man is not better for being the slave of
foolish or evil habit. He is, by So much,
the worse. Show us an excellent man who
is an habitual smoker, and we will show you
one who would be q better man were he to
break the thralldom. We have two indi-
viduals in our mind both ministers of the
Gospel, I'm good standing both invet-
crate smokers. We have met them
frequently and under various circum-
stances; at home and abroad, in the pulpit
and out Of it. They are strangers to each
other, but are both good fellows and
have lots Of friends. When they travel
they carefully stow away their wives and
babies IN the regular passenger car, while
they repair to the smoking car, to en-
joy their favorite weed and the company
of all the blacklegs and loafers on the
train. At the public hotels, their families
have access to the parlors, while they are
driven to the filthy bar rooms The So
ciety into which their baleful habit throws
them is almost invariably pcrnicious, and
the habit itself is a perpetual stumbling
block in all their efforts to lead others in
better way. They are in constant war
fare with conscience, which cannot be
smoked into somnolency; and their useful
ness is impaired even beyond their own
consciousness. We have heard these men
preach: but never without constant un-
defined sense of their unftness. Their
moral truths always fall short of the mark
Their celebrations are invariably tainted
with the fumes of tobacco. When they
speak Of ''the powers of Satan, we think
of the powers of evil habit. When they
exhort sinners to repentance, we feel like
saying: Physician, heal myself" We
like them both. They are our personal
friends: but we cannot Withhold from them
a kind ofpity, such as we feel for some ex-
cellent fellow who is a slave to drink And,
to say the truth, so far as the mere habit is
concerned, We cannot see the difference
SO VIC are constrained to say of our cleri-
cal friends: Mice fellows, Pity they
smoke. "-Iaclard's Monthly.
