Unnoticed Labor.

Many Christians have to endure
the solitude of unnoticed labor. They
are serving God in a way which is
exceedingly useful, but not at all
noticeable. How very sweet to many
workers are those little corners of the
newspapers and magazines which
describe their labOrs and successes
yet some, who are doing what God
will think a great deal more of at the
last, never saw their names in print

The Hearer of Prayer.

40 thou that nearest prayer, unto thee
shall all flesh come" ops. ixv. 2,)
"Flesh" is a term used in Script
ure with various meanings--an arti-
Gle of food, all animated creatures, all
the human race, our deprayity. In
this place it means all men. Let all
men regard God as the object, and the
only object, Of prayer.
We notice the comfortable declara-
ton concerning God: go thou that
nearest prayer" How gloriously
does it distinguish God from the idols
made with hands, "who have ears,
but hear not" there is no voice, and
they answer not! And how does the
statement elevate God above men
who will not hear! How many of
the wronged cry for justice, but cry
in vain! The powerful and the cor
rupt will not hear. How many of
the oppressed and helpless cry for
mercy, but the hard hearted and the
cruel will not hear! How often the
needy cry for charity, but remorse-
less covetousness will not hear, and
turns them away with a look of
which hell might be ashamed! In
what bright contrast the statement
sets God with poor mortals who can
give no needed counsel, extend no
relief, and afford no protection in our
perils! God hears, for he is near; but
men are often too distant to hear, or
reach helping hand. But God says;
"Draw nigh unto me, and I will
draw nigh unto you. Call upon me
in the day of trouble and I will de.
liver thee"
Our text is a grand and graciou;
encouragement to pray. The JUS
and benignant Sovereign agains
whom we have rebelled has himsel
formulated the petition which we ART
to present to secure pardon and peace
with him. How encouraging hi
gracious words! how full of hope
"When we pray say our father" sc
yes; how full of parental tenderness
How benignantly he looks and lis
tens and smiles in the fullness of for
giving love! Let us then conn
boldly, with full assurance of faith
that we may find grace and strength
10 help in time of need. 1t is God
glorious prerogative and graciou
will to hear and answer prayer

HOW TO BECOME A CAPITALIST.

Somebody must save money, and
the people who save it. will be the
capitalists and they will control the
organization of industry, and re-
ceive the larger share of the profits.
If the women will save their money
they may be not only sharers of
profits but owners of stock and re-
ceivers of dividends. And the
workmen can save their money, if
they will. 1t is the only way in
which they can permanently and
surely improve their condition.
Legislative reforms, improved in
dustrial methods, may make the
way easier for them, but there is no
road to comfort and independence
after all but the plain, old, path of
steady work and saving.

THE DIFFERENCE.

Do you see that morose looking
man whose countenance is so cloud
ed that the light of animation never
breathes through The clouds gath
cred long ago when he formed the
habit of looking on the dark side of
things. He has >journeyed along
through life from boyhood until
now, and has been so intent on look
ing for thorns and briars that he
has never enjoyed the flowers by
the wayside. He is a pessfmist.
He sees no good in anything. To
him gladncss is folly and beauty is
polished deformity. To him roses
of pleasure that grow in luxuriance
along life's way are but withered
leaves beneath which are piercing
thorns and deadly adders. TO him
the world is bowling wilderness Of
evil. He has Cooked at the dark
side of every picture until ne has
no appr eciation of the bright and
beautiful.
DO you see that pleasant looking
man whose countenance is radiant
with cheerfulness, and whose very
presence inspires gladness wherever
he goes He has been looking at
the bright side of things all along
the way from boyhood up. He has
paid little attention to- thorns and
briars and has enjoyed to the full
the rich fragrance of wayside flow
ers. He is an optimist. To him
there is good in everything, and
there is beauty everywhere. He
has appropriated the good and let
alone the evil until his own nature
is beautiful realm Of purity and
cheer where gloom and clouds are
never seen. The horizon of his be-
ing is ever aglow with the radiant
light of gladness, and, being in har-
mony with the divine, his sun of
life at last goes down with a golden
beauty.-Pittsburg (Tex.) Gazette.

VERY FEW PERSONS can truthtnlly
say that that their destiny has been
decided by the drawing a straw.
Edward Spanenburg, one Of the
most successful of the young attor-
neys of Cincinnati, owes much of the
good things that have come to him
to such an apparently trivial circum-
stance. The time was just at the
close of the war. Mr.. Spanenburg
and his brother had done service
under the stars and stripes, and with
their father found themselves in
Denver, then small place. A good
opening was found for one of the
boys, but which was to stay there
was the question. Neither had a
profession. So the good father pre-
pared two straws and, covering them
in bis fingers, babe each son to pull
one. Young Edward drew the
short one and was obliged to return
to Cincinnati. He left the west
with a heavy heart, arrived in Gin
cinnati, procured employment with
out trouble, gained the fancy OF the
late W, I. Forrest, began to study
law, and in few years has, by dill
gent work and honest methods,
builded practice that many an
older attorney would be proud to
possess. Mr.. Spangenberg says the
short end of the straw turned after
all to be the long end.

A very interesting petition for a
divorce was filed by woman in the
courts here to-day. The principal
plea tor transportation is that her
husband compelled her to sleep with
a skeleton. The plaintiff is Mrs.

er of The late John Decker, a

who died at Chicago during the ma
tional Republican convention.
While her father was superintend-
ent Of the city infrmsry, Miss Deck

Young man, don't look at the
clock A business man, successful
beyond what is usual at his time of
life, says that he once gave employ
ment to two young men. One of
them stuck to his work, remaining
at it over hours when necessary.
The other had a habit of looking at
the clock, so that he might quit
work exactly at the moment fixed
for that purpose. The result was
that the first still has steady employ
ment and gets fine salary, while
the other is doing such odd jobs as
he can obtain and is generally in
need of money. Young man, don't

READ AND REMEMBER.

DO not jest with your wife upon a
subject in which there is danger of
wounding her feelings. Remember
that she treasures every word you
utter, though you never think of it
again.
Do not speak of some virtue in
another mans wife to remind your
own of a fault. Do not reproach
your wife with personal defects, for,
If she has sensibility, you inflict a
wound difficult to heal.
Do not treat your wife with mat
tention in company. Do not up
braid her in the presence of third
person, nor entertain her with prais-
ing the beauty and accomplishments
of other women. Do not be stern
and silent ill your house, and remar-
kable for sociability elsewhere. Re-
member that your wife has as much
need of recreation as yourself, and
devote portion at least of your
leisure hours to such society and
amusements as she may join. By so
doing you will secure her smiles and
increase her affection.

A SPECIAL from Hiwatha, Kan,
says that the farmers of that vicini-
ty are burning corn for fuel, finding
it cheaper than coal. Corn is sold
on the farm at 20 cents per bushel,
while the average price of coal, de-
livered at the farm, ranges from p
to % cents per bushel. The Farm
ers' Alliance brought the attention
of the farmers to the relative prices
of the two commodities, and advised
that half of the corn crop be used
for fuel, thus advancing the price Of
the other halt, and saving money in
their fuel bills, The farmers have
begun to act on this advice.

very disagreeable exposure has just been
made, which duplicates two members of
the common council and police officer.
The names of the persons implicated are
Sidney D. Waters, Peter Deuber and Will
liam Gillespie. These men arc charged
with having formed a conspiracy to appro-
pirate the funds and supplies furnished by
contribution for the relief of those who suf-
fered by the recent disastrous fire. Sew
eral weeks ago Robert Inglis, who was
arrested at Chico, CAL, Oh the charge of
having sold provisions and other supplies
and appropriating the proceeds. He was
suspected, but made his escape from Spo-
kane Falls. However, he was captured at
Chico and, on being jailed, made

he was bought off. A partial investigation
has been made. 1t shows that several
Thousand dollars WI rthi i)f goods have been
stolen and converted into money. The re-
port that has been made seriously imPllcates
Officer Gillespie. Bitter feeling prevails
over the exposure. At meeting held here
it was resolved to protect the city's good
name by prosecuting to the full extent Of
the law all who are suspected of completely
in the disgraceful proceedings. Warrants
were sworn out by a. N. Cannon, chairman
Of the relief committee, for the arrest Of
Sidney d. Waters, Peter Deuber, and Will
lam Gillespie, on the charge Of grand lar
ceny, and they were arrested It is UNDER
stood other warrants will be
sworn out tomorrow. 1t has long
been suspected that conspiracy
existed in the council for purpose of
Doodle and a permanent citizens commit
tee has been organized.to protect the people
against the recurrence Of official miscon-
duct of any character. The people keenlv
feel the disgrace that has fallen upon the
city and are determined to let no guilty
party escape. Military men say Waters,
who is an officer in the militia, will surely
be court-martialed for conduct unbecoming
an officer. The relief committee adopted
rigorous measures for the discovery of the
whereabouts of Robert Inglis, who for
feited his bond, and it is expected he will
be captured.

y ST. PAUL, Sept. 17.-Helena special to
the Pioneer Press: William B. Webb was
arrested to-day on warrant sworn out by
United States District Attorney Weed,
charging him with embezzling funds of the
United States while acting as secretary Of
territory. Webb was appointed by Cleve-
land in 1885 and held the Office until re-
moved by President Harrison, last April.
When his successor was appointed short
age in Webb's accounts was discovered
and Special Agent Moore Of the treasury
department investigated. Hefound $4,000
deficit before the work was done and it is
thought that the total will reach
5000 or $4,000. Enough was known to
warrant the arrest and Attorney General
Miller ordered it. The populations run
back for two or three years and in most
cases are covered by vouchers which Webb
got payees to sigh in blank. Webb was
to-day placed under 5000 bonds to appear
October 4th and the bond was promptly
furnished. At the opening Of the cam
paign Webb was appointed secretary Of
the democratic state committee and it is
thought now he will resign.
