1T IS now figured among the GER
tainties that John Wannamaker will
90 into the new Presidents cabinet.
Wannamaker contributed 100000 to
the Republican campaign fund, and
it is doubtless alone for this munifi-
cence to the G. o. p. that he is elevated
to the distinction of a cabinet official.
The Birmingham Age-Herald makes
the following observations upon the
matter:
"He will, no doubt, make capa-
bic and trustworthy officer, and there
is no reason why his selection for a
Cabinet position should be objected
to, except that his promotion presents
IA rather tender point in political
ethics. The only claim in the world
Mr.. Wannamaker has on the Presi-
dent-elect or the Republican party is
IFS large contribution to the cam
paign fund, and it will look very
much as if he purchased the position.
This would constitute a precedent
that the American people would not
like. When it comes TO dealing out
Cabinet positions as rewards for
campaign contributions, then the
merits of craftsmanship will bepisced
ut decided minimum"

THERE does not seem to be the
slightest prospect Of our present
Legislature making any provision
for constitutional convention.
There are too many Office holders
opposed to it, headed by the chief,
Senator Harris. A half loaf is better
than none at all, and if we can't get
new constitution, let us at least do
a little patching on the old one.
Several good amendments might be
started on the long journey necessary
to make them a part of our organic
law.

THE penitentiary at Nashville must
be horrible place in which to confine
human beings if all reports in the
Nashville papers regarding its con-
dition be true. Not only is it a pen
of disease for those confined therein,
but it is a menace to the health of the
entire city of Nahville. The present
Legislature swill not perform its
whole duty if it fails to provide for
the removal of the penitentiary.

The church was beautifully decorated
with sweet spring flowers and the air was
heavy with their fragrance. AS the service
was about to begin, small Kitty pulled her
mothers sleeve: "Oh, mamma don't it smell

There are degrees of contentment but it
will be found that the most contented are
those who are engaged in useful work of
some Kind, down into which thought flows,
and that the least contented are those who
are idle.

Probably not one person in thousand
knows why leaves change their color in the
fall, i" remarked an eminent botanist the other
day. The common and old-fasOioned idea is
that all this red and golden glory we see
is caused by frosts. A true and scientific ex-
PLANTATION of the causes of the cOlOring of
leaves would necessitate long and intricate
discussion. Stated briefly and in proper
language, the causes are these: The green
mrtter in the tissues of leaf is composed of
two colors red and blue When the sap
ceases to flow in the fall, and the natural
growth of the tree ceases, oxidation of the
tissues taxes place. Under certain conditions,
the green of the leaf changes to red under
different conditions it takes on yellow or
brown tint The difference in color is due TO
the difference in combination Of the original
constituents of the green tissue and TO the
varying conditions of climate, exposure and
soil. A dry, cold climate produces more bril-
liant foliage than one that is damp and warm.
This is the reason that our American au-
tumns are so much more gorgeous than those
of England. There IRE several things about
leaves that even science cannot explain. For
instance, why one OF Two trees growing side
by side, of the same age and having the same
exposure, should take on brilliant red in
the fall and the others should turn yellow
or why one branch of a tree should be highly
colored and the rest of the tree have only
yellow tint, are questions that are as impossi-
BILE to answer, as why one member of a fami-
ly should be perfectly healthy and another
sickly. Naples and oaks have the brightest

Stephen Girard's Test.

A man who bad just set up in the hard
ware business and who had been clerk
where the eccentric millionaire, Stephen Gi-
rard had been in the habit of trading, applied
to him for share of his patronage. Girard
bought of him, but when the bill was sent in
he found fault and marked down the prices.
"Cask of nails" he growled, (which was
offered for so and so. You have charged 80
and so, and you must take it off"
~ cannot do it," said the young merchant.
"But you must do it," roared Girard.
~ cannot and will not, was the final re-
ply.
Girard bolted out, apparently in rage, but
soon after sent check for the whole bill.
The young man began to reent and say 10
himself: "Perhaps he was offered them at
that.price, but it is all over now. am sor-
ry did not reduce the bill and get it out of
him on something else. His trade would be
worth q good deal to me-"
BY and by Girard came again and gave
him another order. The young man was very
courteous and said he was sorry he did not
reduce the former bill.
"Reduce bill r. exclaimed Grard; "had
you done it would never trade with you
again. merely meant to see if you had cheat
ed me.".

How to BE Eloquent.

1t is only when minister breaches out O
his own heart that he reaches the hearts OF
others. A purely intellectual sermon stops
VII. the intellect a doclrinal sermon is
nj lg more than spiritual opiate. But
let an utter what he has felt and known,
let hi, touch the harpstrng that has vibrat-
ed in his own soul, and there comes that
hush and spell over an audience, that chain
ed attention, that lifting of faces which
seems like white tablet for Gods fin
ger to write on. Who has not felt the ire
sistible power of a hidden experience inter-
preted by another soul? This is the secret
of all oratory, of all sympathetic power of
man over man. The greatest preachers are
not those who lay claim to the highest
scholarship, who are profound philosophical
thinkers or doctrinal giants, but whose
large hearts have throbbed with the deepest
spiritual experience. "Out of the abundance
OF the heart the mouth speakelh.' These
are men who can lay hold on vast audiences
and sway them as the wind sways forest.
Their language may be plain, their style un-
polished, their manner awkward, but they
know the stops and keys of the human heart
as the organist knows his instrument, and all
the solemn and sweet music of life answers
to their touch

Tonic for the Tired.

Watch the faces as they go by you on
crowded street, and just notice what tired
look many of them wear. If we could read
all the hearts around us we would find multi
tudes VINO are weary in spirit, and sometimes
sigh for a pillow in the grave. Some are tired
out with life's hard struggles with bearing
the heat and burden of the day. Others per-
sist in piling up anxietes as high as an old
fashioned peddler's pack. They carry
huge load of care as to how they shall make
both ends meet, and how they shall foot the
bills" that accumulate, and how they shall
provide for all the hungry mouths and scanty
wardrobes. One is tired from trying to do
much, and another OF waiting for something
to do. A grievous burden of spiritual de-
spondency makes Brother Smalllailh's heart
ache, and puts an extra wrinkle in Sister
WeakbaCk's coun,enance. Here is a disciple
who is tired of waiting for success, and there
is another tired of waiting for answers to
prayer.
Do you suppose that the dear Master does
not see all these tired bodies and exhausted
nerves and weary hearts, To those who are
honestly run down with toll, he says: Come
ye apart into quiet place and rest awhile"
God puts night of sleep after every day of
work for this very purpose of recruiting lost
force. To Christians with small purses He
kindly says: Your life consistelh not in
the abundance of the things ye possess. l
counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the
fire, that thou mayest be rich My grace is
sufficient for thee; at my right hand are
treasures iOrevermore." There is not really
money enough in this land to give everybody
II fortune, but there are promises enough in
the Bible and grace enough in Christ Jesus
TO make every body rich to eternity. just
think what millionaire man is who has
"a clean conscience here and hope ofheaven
hereafter.
To poor Brother Smafaith and sorrowful
Mrs. Weakback he gives wonderful lift in
lh,se words: "Lo am with you always.
No man shall pluck you out of my hands. 1t
is my Fathers good pleasure TO give you the
kingdom"
