LlFE'S LESSON.

saw robin in the spring, With eager heart in plumed breast, And chirp, and song, and busy wing,
 Building her nest. The budding naples amber glow, The swaying willows tender gleam Were dancing on the grass below
 And in the stream. And through the softly fragrant air The radiant blueness of the sky Smiled glad, and fleecy cloudlets fafr,
 Low, floated by. But robin, singing as she flew, Had happy thoughts for none of these, She saw not radiant sky of blue,
 Nor budding trees. She wrought for summers beauty fair, And dreamed a dream of happy rest, When little ones her love should share
 Within the nest When loving mate, the livelong day, Should sing and trill the downy brood His sweetest notes, and only stray
 To bring them food. She dreamed of whispering leaves, to screen Her pretty nestlngS sly retreat; Of bug, and worm, and garden green,
 And fruitage sweet. So when her mate-bird loiteringly, swung A uOul8uI on some UaQClnP spray, Or OCT the shining waters hung,
 Or flew away To watch the slowly creeping green, On messy bank, where violets hid, She gravely called, with sober micn,
 Or sharply enid. Again, in summers drought and heat, heard the robins clamorous brool Call loudly from their near retreat,
 For daily food, And saw the mother toll alone, From early morn till evening late, On dropping wing, with plalntive moan
 For her dead mate. And one day, when a storm swept by, And trembling trec-tops swayed and tossed heard robins piercing cry,
 For nestlings lost. And when, at last, by pity drawn To aid the mother, sore distressed: only found, prone on the lawn,
 The empty nest.

TAXES THAT BEAR.

Once more, let it be distinctly under stood that the only taxes now bearing upon the American masses either as producers or consumers are the internal revenue i'm posts. These the republican party wants to have removed. Waterbury Exchange
 That is to say "the only taxes now bear ing upon the American masses' are the taxes on whiskey, tobacco and oleomar- garine. The American masses can afford to bear these taxes. In the words of MT Blaine, for whom our exchange must have some admiration, "as long as there is whiskey to- tax, let it be taxed; to lower the price of whiskey is to enormously in crease its consumption" The American masses are not asking to have the tax taken off whiskey-they want it taken of raw material; such as wool, for instance, that the $44 ,O00, ,000 worth of wooden goods now imported here may be made in this country and the wages paid for that labor be paid to our own workmen. They want the wooden mills kept open all the year around and not as now closed down when the cramped home market is overstocked from the production of the looms.
 If clothing and other protected goods are as cheap in America as abroad, why do We import $450, 900, 900 worth of them in a year, and pay $214, ,0OO, 900 tax on them That is what the government reports show we did in 1887. The tariff is tax or it is a humbug,
 Free whiskey hasn't become popular yet with the American masses, and it isn't likely to right away.

SENATOR SHERMAN in a speech delivered March 15, 1872, said 'I have listened with patience, day by day, to the state ments of gentlemen who are interested i'll our domestic productions. 1 am firm believer in the general idea of protecting their industries; but l assure them, as assure their representatives here, that Ii the present high rates of duty, unexampled
 n our country, and higher by nearly 5C per cent than they were in 1861, are main tained on metallic and textile fabrics after we have substantially given them thei1 raw materials free of duties, we shall have A feeling of dissatisfaction among other in terests in the country that will overthrow the whole system and do greater harm than can possibly be done by a moderate reduc- tion of the present rates of duty" The democrats propose moderate reduction of the present rates of duty, less than per cent. and John Sherman isn't man enough to back them up. The republican nlatform has put John in a bad hole.

The grand old man has planted himself squarely and solidly on the democratic platform, and he will fight the battles of his party with the vigor and elan of his younger days.

THE RED BANDANA


 We believe in thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar. But the qemand that every husband buy a Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our laud No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason X Hamlin, Boardman X Gray Baus, and Wilcox X White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of a manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago.

Ahriman, the originator of darkness and
evil. This belief of the Persians was
during the time of Jeremiah and Ezekiel
improved by Zoroaster, who was the
propauator of Monotheism, teaching
tnat there we're before the worlds creation
but one omnipotent God who, by his word,
called into being two good angels, Ormuzd
and Auirmau. But the latter corrupted
his wGya and thus became ruler OF dark
ness and evil.
Now, rs the people of Israel found in
the land of their captivity nation "hose
principal belief in God bore such s'rik-
ing resemblance To their own, they soon
became closely attached TO them and i'm
bued with their belief ia Ahirmap, whose
pamo they changed afterward into satan,
which found entrance in the Bible. Per-
sian superstitious religious ideas took
strong old OF our peoples imagination
yes, even OF that of our prophets. "The
names of the sngel''--says the Taimud
Jerushaimi of Rush Heahana-'did the
people OF Israel b-ing with them from
Babylon during the reign of Cyrus"
Taus the Christian world is indebted
for the invention Of satan, who embel-
fishes their Testament, not to the Jews,
but to he Persiaus. Also the believers
in Kabbalah are Indebted for the nomen
clgtute of angels and demons which they
posssss to nobody else but to the Persians-
The Persian doctrine of angelology have
impressed tho IL jOrity of our people SO
that they adhere to 1t mp 10 the present
day. This docrine has become the
nucleus Of many of our prayers. The
kabbalistle rabbis have even goue step
further, and have identified satan with
the serpent which enticed Adam and Eve
to trespass against Gods commandment.
And gradually they have advanced him to
the high position of Male ch Hsmovess,
angel of death. Hence, one of the sages
says: "Hu, Hasatan, Hu Hajezsr hora
Hu Hamalsch hamovess." "The satan,
the enticer 20 evil, ard the angel of death
are one and the same being"

Asto His Fortune.

A young Boston man, one of the tradi-

lows one who can turn his hand to many
things und always light on his feet like
cat, had loft home for the wsss, and had
not been heard from for ne many IA three
or four years. His family was anxious,
the more so because with all his capa-
bilities, had in his composition not
little of the Sam Lawson talent for shirk-
ing work when no could.
Finally when the family had made up
their minds that he was dead, his mother
received letter. Here IL portion of it:

STRUNG UP THREE TIMES.
Man Who Was Almost Lynched Tells How
lie Felt.
Ohio State Journal.

Ohio State Journal
There are several prisoners in the peni-
tentiary who know oGiy too we'll what it
is 10 be drawn mp slowly by rope around
their necks for time. Several of these
were called and related some of their
thrilling experiences for the benefit of
the State journal and others. The most
interesting case was that of Frank B.
Mason, the paroied prisoner, who was
brought from West Virginia last week by
Mr.. Cheeringtep.
1t will he remembered that he was
strung" up three times by mob in the
wilds of West Virginia. about forty miles
from any railroad. He was suspected of
stealing $43 from store in Calhoun
county, and was captured in ROane coun-
ty by "posse" of horsemen, who lev
eled their guns on him just as he was en-
tering a cornfeld. He was then subj cot
ed To variety of inhumau treatment,
which would make n Hercules shudGer,
with view to making him confess.
He said: "At dusk 1 WAS taken ont of
the jail to beech tree about fifty rods
away. They threw the rope over u limb
and swung me off over a little embank-
ment. The pain at first was terrible, but
soon stars fitted before my eyes. There
were more than Il million of them 1t
seemed to me, moving in every direction.
Then | bsgan TO see all the different
colors imaginable, blending in the most
beautiful and fantastic outlines. l tell
you, if you had thousand paint brushes

not make so many pretty co!ors. This
sensation was very pleasant, and
thong H. l vas in a dream. / don't know
how long hung, bat my most severe
pain was just as l was coming to my
senses again. l shook violently, ana it
seemed as though il would kill nae. The
third time thsy let mo down they -four
ished revolvers IN my face and said:
We'll shoot the - - - and not
let his friends cnt him down again. l
thought all the timo that they Antended
to hang me for good, and sent a fare
vel! word to my mother. Thought they
would hang me if l confessed. After
this they Bound me tightly with ropes
and TOOK me fve miles in the rain. The
ropes we're contracted by the water SO
much that they left black and blue prints
all over my body and arms"

THE ANCEsTRY OF SATAN.
The Question Discussed by aLearned Jewish
Rabbi.
Mencrah Monthly

Menorah Monthly.
Taking tho word Satan in it's specific
sense, as proper name, We mud IL In the
Bible signifying spiritual invisible
being, whose vocation is to tempt and
misiead mankind and who delights in
msr's destruction and degradation. In
t.e book of Job, Satan is described rs
being familiar with the Almighty: "And
the Lord said unto Satan, whence come;t
thou?" Dob l., y. During the reign of
David, Satan is reported 10 havo worked
against Israel. "And Satan stood up
against Israel" (ChroLic!es xxii.) When
the prophet Zachariah beheld in vision
the high priest JOSHUA standing before
an angel, he saw Satan by his side to re-
sist him (Zachsriah ill.,, u.
These biblical passages have given rise
60 a so perstitious belief 4hich has taken
deep root, not only ia the hearts Of our
people, but also of the numerous adnerers
of Christianity and Islam.
In the New Testament Satan is identi
fed with the devil, derived from the
Greek Diabolos. and is believed to be AZ
ubiquitous and powerful as God himself.
In Mathew iy., !, Satan Ia reported as
having tempted Jesus. ST. Jonn calls
satan "a murderer, u liar. And In Revrla-
tion xii, 75, it is said: "And there was
war in Heaven. Michael and his angels
foue hs against the dragons, etc. And the
great dragon was cast oct, that old ser
pent cslied the devil and satan" etc. 1t
is most astonishing that Jesus, in whom
Christians believe as having been God
himself was powerl.ss in tho presence of
satan, while Michael and his angels van
q uishel him! Ia the seventh chapters of
the Koran We read that satan, who is
called their Eblis, having disobeyed Gods
order so worship adam, was hurled down
from Heaven" etc. Thus has satan he
come the invisible ruler of Europe, West
/ ern Asia and America, corrnpting the In
nucent, detiling the pure and degrading
| individuals as we'll as communities.
But the Que st.on arises, spontaneously
"Who is satan? Has Judaism given birth
| to such a phantom? Are the people of
Israel res ponsioie for the existence of
such n demony In order 10 solve these
