PROBABLY IN THE HISTORY OF AMERI
can politics no campaign was ever carried
on on basis SO demoralizing, debased and
corrupted as was the presidential campaign
OF four years ago. The vile and filthy
elements brought into the contest by smut
political journals, dead to every sense of
decency, and shame, was disgusting to
both Democrats and Republicans who
possessed sentiment of honor Let us hope
that 1888 will not see a revival of the
abortive elements that constituted the chief
political ammunition of five years ago.

Doing and Being,

A young girl had been trying to do
something very good, and had notsuc-
ceeded very we'll. Her friends hearing
he complaint, said:
"God gives us many things to do;
but don't you think He gives us some
thing to be, just as wel!?'
20 dear! tell ne about being" said
Marion, looking up. II Will thlnk
about being, if you will help me.
Her friend answered:
God says:
''Be kindly affectionate one to an
other
"Be ye also patient.
BE we thankful.
"Be We not conformed to this world.
''Be We therefore perfect.
"Be courteous.
"Be not wise in your own conceit.
"Be not overcome of evil"
Marion listened, but made no reply.
Twilight drew into darkness.
The tea-bell sounded, bringing
Marion to her feet. In the freight
Elizabeth could see that she was very
serious.
"I'll have better day tomorrow.
I see that doing grows out of being."
1--WE cannot be what God loves with

is easier to do with u rush. than to be
patient or unselfish, or humble, or just,
or watchful."
