Beware of the man who is always
running to you telling what someone
else has said, or of the shortcomings
and mistakes of a neighbor. One hum
dredth part of the stories circulated
about people are not true. A man may
take drink now and then, and it is
bound to reach the ears of someone who
will roll it as a sweet morsel around his
villianous tongue, and he eagerly and
gleefully reports the man as 'gone to
the dogs" or as heavy "lusher." A
man becomes financially embarrassed,
perhaps only temporarily, and too many
eagerly and with seeming relish gloat
over it and report him as about "bust-
ed" and that he will ''have to go under
sure" Such people do world of
harm, and are misnOmer to the word
man. Such people misquote what you
and others say, add to hundred-fold
any shortcomings of you or others, de-
tract from and misconstrue any good
. deed that'yOu or others may perform.
But where is the true friend that is ex-
pected to defend you when others as
sail your There are few such friends.
Would that there were more, who if
they profess friendship would defend
those assailed and stoutly maintain
their innocence until the one assailed is
at least given an opportunity to prove
the charges as false or as being wonder
fully exaggerated. If one man processes
friendship to another's face, and fails
to defend him when he is back-bitten,
he is really worse enemy than the
one who Whites, for the one is trusted,
while the other is not and is watched
as an enemV,

One of our numerous colonies is re-
ported to aspire to the position of State
Senator. If the REFLECTOR is not
mistaken Dickinson county has never
had colonel in the state senate or leg
lslature. During the long years that
have passed since this county was first
represented we have sent some mighty
pert men down to the capital, but we
never could hold our heads quite as
high as county that was represented
by captain, major, or especially a
colonel. Let all party feeling and ring
jealousy be buried, and all join hands

as an enenn

More is expected of minister of the
gospel than of others, who, though pro-
Tossing christianity, have never passed
through the solemn ceremonies of Or
dination, and conseclated their time,
their all, to preaching the word of God.
and endeavoring to lead sinners to re-
pentance. Little children are taught
by christian parents to revere, honor
and respect him, who breaches Christ
crusifed, who tells and pleads with
mankind to live better, purer. nobler
lives. But like all mankind they are
liable to err, but when they wilfully
plot, connive and scheme to violate the
laws of God, the laws of their country
and wilfully yield to base and unholy
passions, then they should be Stunned
and spurned as lepers, as Judas
Iscariots, for they not only betray their
Master, but drag their sacred minister
ial robes down to infamy and dishonor
But there are but few ministers who
fall, the great majority of them are
honest, sincere, true christian noble
men. But when one falls the world
stands ready to Sheer and say: Yes.
it is getting to be a common thing,
preachers are like everybody else. if
anything. perhaps worse But it is
not so. Where one falls, hundr, DIS
are rising nearer the foot-stool of the
Master they serve. They are but do
ing their duty if they do endeavor to
do what is right" says the wording.
But their duty-no greater compliment
could be paid them. A minister is ex-
pected by many not even to have the
rights of an American citizen, to
express an opinion upon any polite Il
question in the pulpit. no. except it is
a moral question; but at any other
time, yes. Where one minister brings
disgrace upon his calling, hundreds
are nobly, heroically and patiently
ministering at the bedside of the sick,
speaking words of comfort to those
that mourn, are sad hearted, and weary
of life's troubles. In no profession.
in no calling in life are there as patient,
honest and true men as the ministers
of the gospel; a few disgrace their
calling, bet the great majority honor
and add lustre to the noble work that
they are handed together to perform.

The Psychic Man and the Cosmio.

1t is not the fashion just now to adj
mire wholly vital men. The ideal man Is
a disembodied affair. But we must not
forget that some of the grandest types
were magnifcently vital. with large ap-
petites and surging impulses.
Your Shakespeares and your Goethes
were powerful furnaces that shook BY the
violence of their combustion the delicate
machinery they propelled. Your Handel
was like an oak whose roots are in a mo-
rass but whose branches are in Heaven.
And from St. Paul TO John Knox we shall
have to follow the events OF history bv
the great vital captains that helped to
make It,
l leave it to aesthetic pietism to say. if
In its efforts to establish the purely psyrhic
man it is not in danger of abolislling
the cosmic man.-Nym Crinkle in New
York World.

nnIpnnr IN the Air.

The quantity of burnt sulphur that
escapes into the air is very great. Seven
and half millions OF tons of coal are
annually consumed in London. Now,
the average amount OF sulphur in Eng
lish coal is 1 IA per cent. That would
give SO, $50 tons of sulphur burned every
year in London fires. If we consider
that on an average twice the quantity of
coal Is consumed on a winter day that Is
consumed on a summer day, no less than
347 tons of sulphur are thrown into the
atmosphere every winter day in London.
This is an alarming quantity, quite suff-
Gent to account for the density of the
fogs in that city. But would it be adj
visable to diminish the escape of sulphur
from the chinnneys? Is it not better to
''bear the ills'' of the fogs than Fly to
others" which the absence of sulphur
might encourage? Burned sulphur is
not an unmitigated evil. During the
fogs the air is still and stagnant; there Is
no current to clear away the deadly
germs that are being vomited into the
air from the pestilential hotbeds of the
lowest slums. These death laden germs
might be more fatal in the propagation
of the disease if the deodorizing and
anti5eptic properties of the sulphur were
not busy at work.-Boston Herald.
