My Hero.

What signifies the outward show,
What signifies his wealth or place!
When we the heart have learned to kuoy
What do we care for form or face!
what care we for name or creed
That buried ages may unrOll,
III under all we clearly read
The record of Il dauntless soul.
Ii loyal TO his sense of right,
If prompt and sure at duly's call,
lie walks, as walking in Gods sight,
HIS aim the manifest man of all;
II helpful as the sunbright day,
If piiIful of others woes,
lie follows in the Masters way
And bears blessing where he goes;
III, gaining much, he loses all,
W lille summer friends 90 c0ldly by,
lie proves his courage by his fall,
iesOlved to win the day or die;
with hope alive, in God his trust,
lie Keeps spirit kind and true,
ANA rises bravely from the dust
10 hight his weary battle through;
IT, working on through pain anI loss,
His earnest soul be not cast down:
lie beareth patiently his cross,
While winning steadily his crown
The mans II hero, and we give
The need of love which is his due.
No idle praise but, while we live,
The wreath OF bay the knot of blue!

TEMPERANCE IN MISSOURI.
From the ST. LOujs Republican.


A decrease in the number of saloons
in Missouri and a diminutiom in the
drinking habits of the people, together
with the abatement in the crimes and
disorders that attend intemperance
have been observed in the last few
years, and they are SO marked as to be
cause for profound comgratulatiOn. The
crossroads bar-rOom in the country,
which, once, was the center of disorder
and the active agent of neighborhood
tends and quarrcls, has almost COM
pletely disappeared; the six, eight, ten
fifteen saloons that once did thriving
business in the interior towns have
diminished to three, four and six and
In" twenty five hundred in st. Louis
have shrnnk to two thirds that num-
Der. And this reduction in the number
oi saloons has moi been unattended by
the practical results that should legiti-
mately accompany it. There would be
nothing gratifying in the disappearance
oil one OF three saloons, if there were
still as much drinking at the remaining
two as there had been at three. But
the converse is true. The drinking
habit has abated in Il more marked de
gree than the number of drinking
places, and many neighborhoods in the
state, once noted for lawlessness and
bloody encounters, have become tran
gull, orderly and thrifty.
Our prohibition zealOts take no pleas
urc i'll this charge, They see nothing
III il TO rejoice at. 1t is not temperance
they have set before themselves as the
object of their strivings but teetotalism,
hn q,
cal simalcrum of statutory total abstin-
ence. They admit that they do not ex-
pect to abolish drinking or drunken
ness from society; what they seek to
secure is the triumph of having abolish
ed licensed saloons, even though it may
be followed by an increased amount of
drinking and drunkenness. But the
improvement in Missouri society habits
and morals that has taken place in the
last few years is Il phenomenon which
the good people of the state have ample
reason for rejoicing at, and which
forces from them respect for the simple
agency that has effected 1.-THE high
license law. That enactment makes a
saloon license cost a minimum of $3.50
year, with authority in the county
court TO raise it TO 1900, and authori-
ty i'll the town council to increase it to
$4,000. And the law possesses the
virtual property of local option, for it
requires the signatures of majority
of the tax-paying residents of the
town, ward or district as prerequisite
to the granting of license, so that it
is impossible to established licensed
saloon in community opposed TO it.
There are many counties in the state
that have had no licensed saloons for
years, and there is not single county
where there are not fewer saloons than
there were five years ago
We do not mean to say that Missouri
IS becoming prohibition state; we
mean to say that it is a temperance
state-which is something better-and
that the abatement in the drinking
habits of the people and the decrease in
the number OF drinking places is more
marked than III Maine, Iowa and Kan
sas, where the form of prohibition
prevails

Mr.. BLAINE NOT A KNIGHT.

The various runOrS :tS To the Hon.
James q. Blaine's membership ia the
order of the Knights of Labor have
finally been set to rest by the authority
OF last resort, Mr.. +. V. powlrrlv.
But the noticeable feature of Powder

ted membership was the style in which
he repudated it,
When asked if the report were true
Mr. Powderly said, NO: in heaven 5

A May Song,
BY s. S. McCURRY.

From The Quiver.l
Lo! band of children PLAYING
Down the village lane;
Forth The group has gone a-Maying,
joyful is their strain;
Hear the works their hearts are saying
Past is winters rain.
Birds are singing,
Flowers are springing,
May is come again.
Welcome be thy happy measure;
We its gladness share;
Praise the Giver for His treasure
Lavished everywhere;
And we feel amid the pleasure,
When the fields We're bare,
Dreary showers
Brought the flowers,
Made the MAY so fair.

A Stolen Visit.
BY GEORGE BIRDSEYE.

From Brooklyn Magazine
This is her dainty room,
Where youth and beauty found their perfect
bluOmi
This is her cosy chair;
How oft her form has nestled softly there;
Here is her cleaning glass,
by which her graceful figure used to pass;
And. though she be away,
1t seems her smiles are there, and still will
stay.
These are her favOrite books,
The pages longing for her loving looks.
Here is her happy bed,
The pillow where she nightly rests her head,
She c0mes-her step know:
Bless thee. sw, ct '0m Alas. that must go !
