What is Best.

If there were no trial, no tears, no,
crosses to be borne, no temptations to.
be fought, no struggles to be endured,
and no moral victories to be won in
these earthly lives of ours, would these
lives be the very best ones for us? We
think so, of course. There is always.
with us, in spite of our good theories,
lingering and tangible conviction
that life that is always sun lighted,
that knows no ungratitied honorable,
desire, that brings no burdens to be.
borne and that, in serene contempla-
ton of its own happiness, shuts itself
out from the SORROWS and 5ufferings of
others, is, after all. the life to be chosen
for the happiness it secures to its pos
SCISSOR. We all think this to greater
or less degree, and rebel against what
ever prevents us from enjoying such
an easy-going, enervating life. We
forget that the successful athlete be-
comes such, not from pleasant and
luxurious indulgence, but as the result
of a self-denying and torturing train
ing. A noble character for this world
and for the next, one which men honor
here and which the Heavenly Father
will crown with eternal honor in the
future, is the result of personal at1ilc--
tons bravely endured; of tender SYM
pathies leading to sacrifices for the
eternal welfare of others; of joy in
their JOY and of Il sorrow i'll their sor--
row. 1t is not best for us to try to 90.

VIOLETS FOR MEMORIAL DAY.

Gather the sweet wild violets
That grow by the silvery stream;
Gather them while the dew-drops wet
Glisten like tears upon the green
OF the heart-shaped leaves, fold on fold,
That nearly hide the modest face
OF violets blue, white and gold,
Fashioned with exquisite grace.
Their tinted calyx-flled with sweet,
Fresh odors from the fragrant earth,
And cool damp MOSES at their feet,
That almost hide their place Of birth;
Flower faces, so like human mold,
Dearest OF all the flowers OF May,
With violets blue, white and gold,
Cover the graves where heroes lay.
Wet their petals with tears OF thine,
Fen though your dead sleep far away,
Trusting God, in His own good time,
To plant the violets where they lay.
And may the rootlets pierce the mold,
And gather strength from lasting wells,
10 keep the blue, and white, and gold,
And give them lives of immortelles.
Sweet bird-choirs sing 'er unknown graves
While angel wings are hov'ring near;
And breeZes soft, in ripping waves,
Bring perfume on the atmosphere;
Perchance, the angels tears do fall,
And CLEAN like crystals where they lay
On nameless graves-God marks them all
And cares for them Memorial Day.

Their Commercial Value to the World
The Duty o. the General Government to
Sustain Them.
The National Reform Association re-
Gently held in Philadelphia was adj
dressed on various vital subjects by
Mr.. Ex-Chief Justice Story. of Wash
ington, D. c., Miss Frances Willard,
George May Powell, DR.. Herrick John
sorf and others.
Rev. DR. Barr spoke on the duty of
our general government in sustaining
foreign missions by its political author
ity and influence. This paper urged
such action for ethical reasons. and it
was supported in an address by George
May Powell on lower, material issues.
Mr.. Powell took the unique ground
that the record shows these missions
return 800 in commerce for every dol
lar spent in sending and sustaining the
missioners. Consequently, the well
fare of labor and capital impera-
lively demands that the Government
stand by these missionaries. Also,
that Agassiz and Herschel and Carl
Ritter and other grand masters of
science testify they could not have done
their vast work underlying the very
foundations of secular education in our
schools and colleges but for the re-
searches made and sent from the ends
of the earth by missionaries. There
FORE science, which is the most con-.
centrated of all human withdrawing
powers, calls on the government to
stand by the missioners. Further, that
one good way to do this is to heed their
cry to shut out the liquor trade, every
800 of which kills thousands of dol
lars of honest commerce. Able politi-
cal economists estimate the trade gain
ed through mission planted commerce
to be so vast that, if by a miracle it
was suddenly annihilated, it would
create financial crash that would
shake Christendom to its ceuter and
grind the now groaning interests of
labor more terribly than they ever
were before.
Mr. Powell suggested that if Con-
gress did not wake up to the interests
of the people in this matter chambers
of commerce and boards of trade.
would take action.

SONG FOR THE MARTHAS.

Drop your burden, just a minute,
Lift your eyes and see the light;
There's such grace and glory in it,
To Heaven anointed sight
Do not be forever toiling
For this poor earths shining sands,
Letting all the peace and gladness
Slip through weary, aching hands.
Gather loving friends around YOU,
Make them glad with words of praise,
Keep not all the shining treasure
Hoarded for the latter days.
Get little inspiration
From the sunshine and the dew,
Let the shining stars of Heaven
Sift little glory through
Care will never heal the heart ache,
Gold can never save from sin,
Stores of rich and shining treasure
Heal the deadly thirst within.
Hear the blessing on the lilies,
F'rail and idle. low and sweet,
Sit awhile with gentle Mary,
Listening at the Masters feet.
Soon will shade of lidded coffin
Rest on closed, waxen eyes,
Ended all the fond communion,
Sundered all the tender ties.
Then will treasure, sure, abundant,
Free from canller, blight and rust,
Feed the soul with ceaseless pleasure,
When the weary hands are dust.

and pointed out the spot where his
master lay.
"Bobby lived four years after the
new curator came, and though by this
time he was growing old and feeble,
he still crept every night, in fair
weather or rough, summer and winter
alike, to his masters grave.
"At last. twelve years and a half
after he first came to the spot with the
few mourners who attended Gray's
funeral, faithful Bobby died, too; and
if there is Heaven for dogs, firmly
believe that he has now high place
there, along with DR.. Browns 'Rab,
Walter Scots Mazda and all other
noble dogs.
"Gray's grave has no longer mourn

shows the spot to each newcomer and
never tires of telling of the faithful dog
who guarded it every night for nearly
thirteen years.
"Soon the old curator must die, too,
if he is not already dead, and there
will then be left only the fountain by
the church-yard gate to remind the
passers-by of dear, faithful, homely

'.For a long time weekly treat of
steaks was furnished him by certain
kindly Sergeant Scott of the city en-
gineers. Then for many years warm
hearted restaurant keeper near by,
named Trail, fed him regularly. Bobby
used to go to his house, near the
churchyard, every day, punctually at
twelve, being guided by the sound of
the Edinburgh time-gun, which is fired
every day at noon. For six years he
was fed in this way, till one day the
kind restaurant keeper was summoned
to court for not paying the dog-tax de-
D&snded of every man who owned q
dog. When Bobby's interesting story
was rehearsed in court, and the judge
was told how Bobby refused to attach
himself to any owner, and spent nearly
all his time by his masters grave, Mr..
Trail was dismissed, though he ex-
pressed his willingness to pay the tax,

longer than to obtain his midday meal.

Impurities in the blood produce diseases.
