that the advance will continue.
The sugar market has been very
active during the past week.

Commence Exercises of this
excellent institution ended on
last Thursday. The Literary
Address was delive ed by Hon.

delivery, his discourse was full of
tenderness and the simple truths of
the Bible. | hear number of dis
tinguishcd men have pronounced
this the ablest effort to which they
have ever listened.
President Charles +. Taylor, after
delivering the diplomas, delivered
a most touching address to the grad
uating class. He congratulated tho
class upon the bright future before
them, saying that they would live
in the twentieth century. He was
also faithful to warn them of the
obligation they ''ere under for the
high privileges they had enjoyed
"Plenty of room at the top" said
DIR. Taylor, but how to get there j,

1t is q great mistake to think
that with safety to yourselves
w can read improper books, OF
listen to impure talk, or coun-
tenance unseemly iests, or asso-
ciate with people of doubtful
behavior. You often hear peo-
pie say young people, perhaps,
more especially-"Oh, yes! /
read so-and-so f.r the beauty OF
the verse, or the power of the
story, or the elegance OF the
style; | enjoy all that, and what
is wrong in it does not hurt me-"
They are mistaken, and, it may
be, fatally mistaken. Wicked
aud impure thoughts, words,
stories, songs, are 80 many un-
barred lanes along which your
great enemy comes to tempt you.
There is a painful story told OF
"a man who, having been once a
great sinner, was saved by the
power of God and brought To
lead IL Christian life. He truly
repented Of his sins, and strovo
to bring forth the fruits of re-
pentance; but IL was 4 thOrny
Path. When he sought to pray
or tC mediate, instantly his
mind was flooded with impious
and irreverent and unclean pic
tures and phrases from the ex-
perieuce of his former ungodly
years. The purity that he would
he could not secure, and the evil
that he despised-that was CON
stantly present with him. BE
warned by this sad expe ience !;
turn resolutely from all things
in you. daily life that are not
pure and lovely and of good re-
port, remembering that charac-
ter, like cloth when white, can
easily be dyed black, but when
once blackeued can never be
made perfectly white again.

How much the heat may bear, and yet not
break
How much the flesh may suffer and yet not
die!
Iouestion much if any pain or ache
Death chooses his own time: till that is worn
All evils may be borne
We shrink and shudder at the surgeons knife,
Each nerve recoiling from the cruel Steel
Whose edge seems searching for the quivering
life;
Yet to our sense the bitter pangs reveal
Tn at still, although he trembling flesh be torn,
This, also can be borne.
We see a sorrow riding in our way,
And try to flee from the approaching i'll,
We seek some smell escaTe-we weep and pray.
But when the blow falls, then our hearts are
still
Not that the pain is of its sharpness shorn,
But think it can be borne.
We wind our life about another life,
We held it closer dearer than our own;
Anon it faints and falls in deadly strife,
Leaving stunned. and striker and alone.
But ahl We do not die with those we mourn;
This, also, can be borne.
Behold we live through all things, famine,
thirst.
Bereavement, pain; all grief and misery,
All woe and sorrow; life infiicts its worst
On soul and body, but we cannot die,
Though we be sick, and tired, and faint, and
worn;
Lol All things can be borne.

No Short Cut to the Millennium.

The work of the Christisn Church is,
the work of Christ was, primarily indiv1d
tai; only secOndarily social and organic.
OhrIst's method was based on the as
sumption that, if individuals were made
right, society would recsify itself; and
that is the method which he has be-
queathed to the Christian Church and
the Christian ministry. 1t is not for the
church to tell what justice demands in
taxation, but to develop such spirit of
justice in the hearts of men that they
will work out that wnich is just in govern
ment. 1t is not the vocation of the min
lister TO tell the capitalist what he
must DO in the organization oe his labor,
TOT TO tell the Iaborer wha; he must do
L his treatment of the capitalist. It is
the business of the Christian Church
and the Christian ministr, to inspire
such sentiments of humanity and good
will in the hearts of the children of men,
such faith in the Golden Rule erd the
brotherhood of humanity, that the CAPT
talist and the laborer will find it easy TO
shake hands with each other and go on
their way rejoicing. This is not because
Christ was Indifferent to social evils; not
because the church is Indifferent to social
evils, or defender of the social order.
FIom the days eff Paul down TO present
time, the true apostles and followers OF
Christ have been men that were turning
the world upside down; and they will go
on turning the world upsidedUwn until
it gets right side up. But the process of
revolution is one that must be wrought
IL the hearts of individual men. There
is no short cut to the millennium by q
manufactured social order.

Did it Elect Harrison!

The following appeared in a Minnesota
paper: "Members of the Democratic
party have been using all subterfuges to
account for their overwhelming defeat.
and numerous are the causes alleged.
Il was talking with several of the van
pushed on Fourth Street the other dav.
opposite bill board, and one of the
party exclaimed: IF it had not been
for the closeness of the National Com
mittee in the expenditure of money, we
would have elected our man. The Re
publicans advertised their man like a
circus" Several Of the party remarked
that no advertising was done except
small announcements in the papers, and
few changers" on the dead walls
'Hangers?" said our informant what
do you call that but circus poster
pointing to a twelve-sheet medicine
poster on the bill board, bearing the
cuts of Gen. Harrison and his grand
father.
IF the Democrats had advertised like
that, Cleveland would have been re-
elected.
The poster referred to was one of the
familiar black and white Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla posters sent out by an en-
terprising firm engaged in the manu-
facture Of old log cabin home-cures,
under the name of Warmers Log Cabin
Remedies, and among other equally
valuable articles includes the famous
Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, which is every
where recognized as the best of all
spring medicines and stands without a
rival for the cure of all disorders which
are the results of impure blood.
The spring time of the year is the sea-
son when the system needs renovation:
the long winter has caused the blood to
become filed with impurities.
There exists no better means to aid
and strengthen the system at such an
urgent period than the use of Warmers
Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, which speedily
restores the blood to pure and healthy
state, which insures health and hap
piness.
The reputation of the firm putting out
the medicine is above reproach, and is
the same firm which manufactures
Warmers Safe Cure the standard remedy
for the cure of all those diseases peculiar
to the kidneys as we'll as those which
are the results of disease in those or
gans, and which has met with such
phenomenal success for the past ten
years.
We understand that the posters re-
ferred to made their appearance in many
parts of the country sometime prior to
the Chicago Convention which nominal
ed Gen. Harrison as a candidate for the
Presidency-hence the use made of the
portraits of the Harrisons, father and
grandson-was either the result of re-
markable political foresight or in accord
ance with the historical association of
the old Log Cabin with the name Of
Harrison.

People Who Can't Make Fire

1t Is not often that explorers discover
savage people who are ignorant of the
art of producing fire. As far as is known
fire has been a necessity even among the
rudest savages for many centuries, and
it always excites wonder when We hear
AT rare intervals of people who, while
enjoying the blessings of fire, express
themselves as wholly ignorant of the
methods of producing it, and who i'm
agine that if by some calamity all their
fires were extinguished they could never
kindle them.
Such q tribe has recently been met by
DR.. Finsch during his travels in New
Guinea. He says the people in the large
villages that are buried in the forests
along the shores of Astrolabe BAY know
Of no means by which they can produce
fire. 1t is therefore DUTY oevolvlpg up

The Skeleton of ManIwithin the Skeleton of a
Huge Snake.
A remarkably strange discovery, and
ore that is causing the thoughtful to
ponder over the Gnwritten past, was made
a few days ago by French citizen in the
northwestern district of this county, says
Gainesville (Tex.) special to the st.
Louis Republic.
Having occasion to sink well, Mr..
Somms, the Frenchnan in question, Sc
lected spot In valley near a ravine of
great length and which, during heavy
rains, is transformed toto raging tor
rent, depositing in the valley limestone,
gravel, mud and other debris. After
reaching a depth of four feet, and while
in 8 formation of limestone gravel that
had continued almost uninterruptedly
from the surface down, Mr.. SomHs came
upon the vertebra and ribs of an animal.
The ribs we're about the size of a small
pigs and rapidly tapered. Carefully I'M
earthipg the bones toward the tapering
end, Mr.. Somms soon came TO the rattles,
which, when counted, numbered seven
teen, the largest measuring six inches
across.
Attracted by the strange find the neigh
| bors gathered in and the work of IN
| eartblng the monster OF other ages was
prosecuted with vigor. After laying bar
nineteen teet OF the remains of the mon
ster of other times, imagine their con-
sternation a. finding the entire skeleton
of a man of tremendous stature in the
| stomach of the skeleton of the snake.
/ The remains of the man and serpent, so
| far as the serpent has been exhumed, are
as perfect as when first denuded of flesh
and were doubtless covered by lime and
gravel soon after death. Near the bones
of the mans right hand is rude stone
