Never hint of the sky that is blue.
Only between those tree:
"Does God make skies ever, nursey, dear
Any bigger than these?"
Never rush down a grassy slope
Fragrant and sweet:
"Do flowers ever grow just for nothing
Right at our feet?"
Never a gay tumble in hay-mow.
To find new eggs:
"Do hens grow hanging at the butcher-man's
Down by their legs?"
Never a sweet new bowl of milk
On fat door-stone:
"shall | always sit by the nursery table
Eating alone?'
Never a chippering. ron, eking note

The complete title, which is
given above, sufficiently eX-
plains the character of this vol
ume. 1t is essentially a doctriRGI
work, and discusses the general
subject from the New Testament
teaching, as interpreted by
UDiversalists. 1t presents the
Christian view of the resurrec-
ton, considers its nature, the
relation of the Present with the
Future Life, the conditions of
man in the future world, the
nature of the change wrought
by a change of worlds, the res
direction body and the sinless
condition of the Resurrection
Life. 1t discusses various in
teresting subjects connected
with our views of immortality,
such as, Shall we know each 9TH

HOW THE CUCUMBER GOT INTO
THE BOTTLE.


When Rodney was at his uncle's he
saw something very queer. 1t was Gu
cumber in bottle. 1t was setting on
the table in the porch when Rodney first
saw it. He sat down and looked at it
very hard. Then he thought for at least
ten minutes.
Rodney could not tell how the cucum-
Der got into the bottle. 1t was large
bottle, but it had very small mouth.
The cucumber was very large. II the
mouth of the bottle had been four times
as big as it was it could not have been
put through it. There was not even a
crack in the bottle; SO it had not been
broken and put together after the Gu
cumber was 10.
While Rodney was trying TO think how
the cucumber could have got into the
bottle, bis uncle came up the steps. He
laughed when he saw what Rodney was
looking at. Scan you make it out?" he
asked.
"No," said Rodney, "Please tell me"
Suppose show you. will take an
other bottle, and we will put another
cucumber in it. You can have if to take
home with YOU" said his uncle.
Rodney though that would be very
nice. His uncle brought a bottle just
like the one the cucumber was in. There
was basket of cucumbers on the porch.
Rodney expected his uncle would take
one OF these and put it in the bottle. He
did not know how his uncle would man
age to get it in. That was what he was
anxious to see.
Instead OF taking a cucumber out Of
the basket his uncle led the way to the

And mean to gush along;

Impelled by currant strong.

What's in the farmyard found.

Or walking on the ground.
And now arrange them as at first.
Excepting those two tails,

In storms, ships carry sails.

And in the night he sees.

in the Resurrection Life ? etc.
The author bases his argument
on the Scriptures throughout;
and unfolds his conclusions in
the luminous light of the in
spired Record. Incidentally he
shows the impotence of much
of the speculation and philoso-
ply entertained at the present
day. The book has grown out
of DR.. Quinby's work as an ed
itor in answering in the columns
of his newspaper the questions
of correspondents anxious to
learn the views of Universalists
on the subject of the Resurrec-
ton Life. Written in a clear,
direct and familiar style, it
meets very general want, and
will build up its readers in the
faith and hope of the New Tes-
lament.

THE GENERAL RESULT.


The free trade party is utterly routed,
General Harrison is elected president,
and the Republicans will have a good
working majority in both houses OF
congress.
Such is summary of the glorious
news which has been flashed over the
wires. The North has repudiated
Cleveland and his free trade theories,
and the people have professed anew
their devotion to the American system
of protection. New York and Indiana
are safely Republican. West Virginia is
doubtful but probably Republican,
and Connecticut and New Jersey are
Democratic. There is no longer
ground for reasonable doubt as 10
the result OF the great battle.
The people have rendered their YER
dict on Cleveland and Democracy.

THE TERRITORY.

Later reports from the territory con
firm the story of Republican success
told by the Posr-lSrElIIeESegR yes
terday morning. Aliens majority
continues to climb nimhly, and there
Is no telling where il win stop. IL will
certainly reach five thousand and may
he nearer ten,
The legislature is Republican on
joint ballot by an overwhelming ma.
jority. In short, the Republican vic
tory In Washington territory is as
sweeping as IL could well be, and there
is no longer any doubt that the people
are anai,erably opposed TO free trade.

This is not a time Tor animosities.
In the satisfaction OF complete and
perfect triumph all ordinary polit-
ical derelietions may be over
looked, bat there are some
ofienses too serious to be overlooked,
and one OF them is treason. The Re-
publicans OF King county have a
traitor to deal with in the person OF
4. ii. Piles. This man, who is person
ally very nasty little scrub, has con-
tinued to foist himself upon
the party here and has used
his opportunities in coward fashion TO
stab its nominees in the back. Pre-
tending TO fight in the Re
publican ranks during the campaign
just triamphantly ended, he lost no
chance TO aid the enemy. lie
was the special and particular
henchman OF one OF the Demo-
cratic nominees, an attend
ant upon his councils and a
worker in his behalf. The
Republican party wants to spew out
this traitor and make no delay in
the matter
