THIS latter is the patriotism pre-eminently
required Of US. For the normal condition OF
our vast free country is one OF abiding peace.
We have little need of mere military patri-
otism, but great and constant need Of that
deeper and more difficult patriotism which
secures to the nation the victories gained in
war, and goes on to win the still greater,
more important triumphs and conquests of
peace.

Hence 1t is a loss instead of a gain to divert
the temperance movement from the use OF
moral to the use of legal means, in seeking to
overcome the evil OF intemperance. 1t may
be said that this argument would hold equally y
against all laws to check the evil, but such is
not the case. Laws that regulate the lieens-
ing of the sale of liquor aim simply at out
ward restraint, which is the truo province OF
law. 1t iswithiD the province of the state also

INSTEAD of the present disgraceful way of

not old Lancaster have a celebration worthy
of the occasion, worthy of herself with her

It was In King William county that the

have since been sold OIL the family still retain

son of his famous father, whose name he

which II depends The nrst is this, that, as
| the family is the foundation of the nation, so
| the love of home is the basis OF the love of
country. Patriotism proceeds from particu-
lar to general, from the near object to the
remote That is to say, the greater our love
for our immediate community and for our
| county, the deeper will be the love for our
state and for our nation. History shows
| and psychology proves that national patriot
| ism absolutely and wholly depends upon
| local patriotism.
| The other truth is that true love for any
| object cannot precede acquaintance with that
| object The better we are acquainted with
| it, the more intimately eknow its amiabe
| and admirable characteristics, the more truly
lastingly and practically we will love it. 1t
is the knowledge of our glorious history, of
| the noble deeds of our hero forefathers
| which more than all else inspires our devo-
| tion to our native land.
Now put these two truths together and our
course is plain, what we can and ought to do
is evident
| We need 10 create and encourage q deep
and strong local patriotism, By cultiUating
aud spreading a thorough kHOlotedge Of our

trouble is that now what little celebrating
there is has to be of a private and individual
character instead OF being general and
locally representative. With a historical so

be any one mans celebration, but the whole

the first crop record OF the season. Follow
ing the small wheat crop Of 1885, which sold
at a low price, thereby attesting the fact
that this country does not and cannot ox-

turns call for apparent area sown in winter

and average date, the condition OF the soil
at the time, the subsequent autumn growth,
the presence of the Hesdan fly, the degree
of winter protection by snow, the severity
and effect Of thawlng and freezing OF the
later winter, and present appearance, are all
subjects Of inquiry
Another branch Of the circular relates to

THE ETERNAL ONE.


Oh, tell me, man of sacred lore,
Where dwells the Being you adore?
And where, oh man OF thought profound,
Where can the Eternal One be foundY
Throughout the realms of boundless space
We seek In vain his dwelling place.
He dwells where er the beams OF light
Have pierced the primal gloom Of night;
Beyond the planets feeble ray;
beyond the comets devious way:
Whereer amid the realms afar
Shines light OF sun or twinkling star,
Above, below, and all around
IA encircling arms OF God arc found.
Where'er the pulse OF life may beat
His forming hand and power we meet.
While every living germ Of earth
That sinks In death or springs N birth
is but a part OF that great whole
Whose life Is God, and God the SOUL
From plant TO man, below, above,
The power divine still throba in love.
He Is the life that glows aud warns
In tlniest mote OF living forms.
Which quick ming nature brings TO birth,
To tioat In air, or sink in earth
And every shrub, and plant and aower,
That lives an age, or blossoms an hour,
Has just as much OF God within
As human life or seraphim;
For all that bloom and all that shine
Are only forms of life divine;
And every ray that streaks the east,
And every beam that paints the west,
With every trembling CLEAN OF light,
With every gloom that shades the night,
Are but the trailing robes devine
Of one whose garments ever shine.
The human soul may bend in love
And seek for blessings from above,
As well in busy haunts of men,
In forest gloom, In silent glen,
As in the affairs solemn shade,
Beneath the dOmes that men have made;
AS well may seek fathers love,
And ask assistance from above,
Amid the oceans solemn roar
Or on its barren waste OF shore,
As In some distant promised land
Where sacred fanes aud temples stand,
The soul, that beats In sweet attune,
Finds in itself the Eternal One;
Nor needs 10 seek for other shrine
Than Gods great temples all divine.
