GRAINS OF GOLD.
S ALWAYS beginning.

A fool is always beginning.
Good breeding is surface Christianity.
1t is better to do well than to say well.
When two quarrel, both are in the
wrong.
An enemy is teacher who costs us
nothing.
A mans own business does not defile
his fingers.
Whenever the speech is corrupted so
is the mind.
Truth is truth, though from an enemy
and spoken in malice.
We cannot always oblige, but we can
always speak obligingly.
knowledge is dearly bought if we sac
riice to it moral qualities.
Remember every moment of resistance
to temptation is victory.
Self made men are most always apt to
be little too proud of the job.
What silent world it would be if
men talked only as much as they think.
No man ought to complain if the
world measures him as he measures 9th
erS.
Much which passes in the world for
knowledge is but slight and trivial
thing.
Never let your zeal outrun your char
ity. The former is human, the latter is
divine.
Modesty in q woman is like the color
on her cheek-decidedly becoming if not
put on.
A man may make himself house,
but he cannot make it a home. His wife
must do that.
Tears are the softening showers which
cause the seed of heaven to spring up in
the human heart.
Tale-bearers have done more mischief
in the world than the poisoned bowl or
the assassin's dagger.
Try to see yourself through the eyes
of those around you and you are liable
to find yourself exceedingly small.
AS it has been finely expressed, "Prin-
ciple is passion for truth" And as an
earlier and homelier writer has it, "The
truths we believe in are the pillars of
our world"

TNFANTILE SKIN DISEASES.

Our eldest child, now six years of age, when an
infant six months old was attacked with virulent,
malignant skin disease. All ordinary remedies
failing,we called our family physician who attempt
ed to cure it; but it spread with almost incredible
rapidlty, until the lower portion of the little fel
lows person, from the middle of the back down to
his knees was one solid rasl-ugly painful blotci-
ed and malicious. We had no rest at night no
peace by day. Finally, we were advised to try the
Cuticura Remedies The effect was simply mary
eOus. In three or four weeks u complete cure was
wrought, leaving the little fellows person as white
and healthy AS though he had never been attacked.
In my OPINION your valuable remedies saved his
life and to-day he is a strong, healthy child per-
Gectly well, no repetition having ever occurred

TRUTH IS TOUGH.

Does not Mr.. Bryant say that "Trutf
will get well if she is run over by loco
motive, while error dies of lOckjaw if she
scratches her finger" The truth about
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets will be found
hard to suppress. All who take them
find them gentle in their action but true
in their work Dent be afraid of mer,
curry or anything harmful in them. They
are purely vegetable and perfectly harm
less. No use of taking the large, repul-
sive, nauseous pills. These Pellets Iit

WHIG REUNION.
MEETING AT Mt. VERNON ADDRESSED BY
COLUMBUS DELANO AND DAN RYAN.

MEETING AT Mt. VERNON ADDRESSED BY
COLUMBUS DELANo AND DAN RYAN.
Mt. Vernon Letter, August %.
The greatest political demonstration
held in this city since the days OF 1910
was witnessed to-day, the occasion be-
ing the first reunion of the veteran
Wings who voted for William Henry
Harrison in 1910. The procession was
about a mile long, and was greeted with
cheers from thousands of thrOats. When
the parade was finished a grand dinner
was served to the old veterans, about
two hundred of whom participated, and
then the procession reformed and went
to the depot to meet Hon. Dan Ryan,
who was escorted to the rink, where the
afternoon meeting was held.
The orators of the day were Hon. Co
lumbus DelanO and Hon. Dan Ryan,
who held the closest attention of an au-
dience of at least twenty-seven hundred
all the afternoon, most of the time be-
ing devoted to a discussion of the tariff
question.
Both speeches were frequently and
enthusiastically applauded. Hon. VIM
c. Cooper also made a short address.
AT the close of the meeting a club was
formed, composed of young men who
will cast their first Presidential votes
for Harrison and Morton.
THE opening of the Trans-Caspian
railway is of special interest to this cOun-
try, as by it a large area of cottOn-pro-
ducing lands is opened to commerce
Although the only means of transporta,
tiOn has been by means of camels, car
rying from 500 to 900 pounds and taking
from two to three months to reach the
nearest Russian mart, the production OF
cotton in the territories of Khiva, Bo-
khara, Kokhand and Turkestan has been
considerable Now that the railroad has
provided transportation facilities the
production is expected to increase ten.
fold in short time. Already the slim
ulus to industry given by the railroad is
remarkable. The eonce-deserted countries
of the Turkomans have been transform
ed. Towns are springing up, the popu-
lation is increasing and works of irriga-
tion are converting the desert wastes
into rich, arabic fields. The railroad is
the longest in the world, and by its con.
nection with the European system the
traveller can ride continuously from Paris
to near the Great Wall of China.

THERE is a vast difference between
hypocrisy and saying plainly what one
thinks, and it is perfectly easy to take a
medium course, for no one expects en-
tire sincerity in ordinary conversation.
1t is not more difficult to keep in with
people, and take them the right way, in
whatever mood they may be, than to Op-
pose them in arguments or opinions
just because they may not thoroughly
coincide with ones own ideas; and, as a
general rule, plain speaking is apt to be
Objectionable, and we may rely upon it
that it is generally unwelcOme and very
rarely appreciated.

LESSONS of wisdom have never such
power over us as when they are wrought
into the heart through the groundwork
of story which engages the passions.
Is it that we are like iron, and must
first be heated before we can be wrought
upon? or is the heart so in love with de-
ceit that where true report will not
reach it, we must cheat it with a fable,
in order to come at the truth?

THE experience of Germany under a
protective tariff has been such that the
voice of the free trader is very low and
husky in that country. A recent Consul
lar report states that while agricultural
products have enhanced in price, manu-
factured products have been cheapened.
The prosperous condition of German
trade is shown by the fact that from 1880
TO 1887 exports have increased from 16,-
401, 900 tons to 19,495, 900, and in value
from 2,895,000 marks to 3,135,000; while
imports have increased from 14,170,000
tons to 19,306,000 and in value from q
$4,000 marks to 3,124,000.
