dare to profane that holy word. trust
it stands for the future in politics as
against the past. the home vote with an
educational test as against the saloon vote

best of all, it stands for the everlasting
and absolute prohibition of sin as against
any alliance between sin and the govern

will never hesitate to call itself the cham
pion of these causes good and great, so
closely linked with it's own central pur-
poses, neither must it fail to put prohibi-
ton by law and prohibition by politics

Reverie is a natural condition, so COM
mon to children that they are hardly able
to distinguish between the reports from
the external world and the images pre-
scented by their imagination. But reverie
is a common experience of the human race
in all stages of development. 1t differs
from abstraction in the fact that the
latter is the intense pursuit of train of
reasoning or observation, which absorbs
the mind to such an extent that there is
no attention left for the reports of the
senses. Hence the distracted man neither
looks nor listens, and noise or an inn
pulse, far greater than would suffice to
awaken the same man if asleep, may be
insufficient to divert him from the train
of thought which he pursues
Revere is literally day dreaming. 1t is
not reasoning The image making faculty
is set free and it runs on. The Judgment
is scarcely attentive, hardly conscious,
and the tear may come into the eye or the
smile to the lip, so that in crowded
street car or even in an assembly atten-
ton may be attracted to the person, whoI
is wholly unconscious of the same. Al
person may imagine himself other than he
is, and derive great pleasure from the
change, and pass an hour, morning or a
day unconsciously In reverie persons
frequently become practical somnambu-
lists-that is, they speak words which
others hear that they would not have
uttered on any account, strike blows,
move articles, gesticulate and do many
other things, sometimes with the effect OF
Immediately recalling them to knowl-
edge of the situation, when they, as well
as others, are amused, but often without
being aware that they are noticed. In ex-
IRENE cases the only distinction between
reverie and dreaming sleep are regular
breathing and the suspension of the
senses which accompany the latter.-Dr,

MONOSYLLABLES.

Mine be the force of words that tax the tongue
But once to speak them full and round and clear.
They suit the speech, or song. and suit the ear,
Like bells that give one tone when they are rung;
Or bird notes on the air, like rain drops flung,
That pour their Joy for all who pause to hear.
Their short, quick chords the dull sense charm
and cheer,
That tires and shrinks from words to great length
strung.
Strong words, Of old, that shot right to the
brain,
And hit the heart as soon, were brief and terse.
Who finds them now, and fits them to his sling,
Smooth stones from brooks of English are his
gain,
Which shall make strong his thought, in prose or
verse,
Wills he with scribes to write, Of bards TO sing.
William c. Richards in Harper's Magazine
