THE ANT AND THE BEETLE.

One day while the an was rolling
a grain of corn over the ground a
beetle happened along and inquired {:
my industrious friend. why all
this labor ?"
II am working to get this grain of
corn into my store house for the win.
ter. l must have a store laid by or l
shall starve."
"But how foolish to work 80 hard
for it! You don't see me sweating
under the collar, and yet I get along
as we'll as most insects"
"Yes,you are all right now because
it is summer. but wait until winter
comes on. If you are idle nuws0u
will perish then"
"Thanks, my dear ant, but don't
worry over the undersigned. Call
on me about the middle of January"
Time passed on. The ant worked
industriously to lay by store. and
as the winter came on and she was
congratulating herself on her fore
sight and prudence. the beetle came
that way. He was fat and sleek and
in fine spirits, and he halted to say:
informing. old economy. How
goes it?"
IL have two kinds of eatables laid
by for the winter" replied the ant,
"while you"
"While 1 am located in the GOV.
ernor's kitchen for the next six
months. and count on no less than
seven kinds Of food per day."
"But how is that ?"
"S:mply that I work with my
mouth, while you work with your
muscles. 1 talk politics. while you
talk corn"
MORAL: Let's all talk politics.

Some are too much afraid of taking
needful rest but they must remem.
Der that 1.-THE fertile field becomes
sterile without rest" A man may
become too worn out to do his duty
when the time comes. The over.
taxed mind may fail when the great
est emergency and the hest opportu-
nifty arrives, Heart WEAKNESS Is a
poor preparation for the strong strain
that inevitably must press on our
deepest and dearest affections. At
the crisal moment must God re-.
proachfully say: How weak is
thine hearth" Christ took his disci-
pies aside for rest. The snap comes
just when the heaviest strain falls
alike on body, mind and soul. What
could we do without regular sleep ?
Why not count our moments wasted
that are spent in sleep? Some peo.
pie do. They burn the candle at both

Grains Of Gold.

Cowardice is the greatest giver of
aims.
Spare moments are the gold dust
of time.-Cole.
Sands make the mountains-mo-
ments make the years. Young.
Habit renders wrong doing of any
kind sort of second nature.
Nothing is degrading which high
and graceful purpose ennobles.
Truth has never yet proved fatal
to any one ; there are too many anti
dotes.
TO owe gratitude Expresses a coarse
nature; to receive it Expresses fine
one.
Socialism is the fantastical younger
brother of nearly spent despotism,
whose inheritance he claims.
The garden of modern poetry too
often betrays nearness to the drain
of the cities.
There is not enough religion in the
world to admit of the annihilation of
religions.
For many natures it is as much a
duty of cleanliness to change opin-
ions as to change clothes.
Not when 1t is dangerous to tell
the truth will she lack a prophet, but
only when it is tiresome.
Those things which engage us
merely by their novelty cannot at.
tract US for any length of time.
Man should command his flesh as
his master slave. The dominion OF
the enfranchised is the most imperi.
Gus.
He that boasteth himself to know
every thing is most ignorant; anc
he that presumeth to know nothing
is most wise.-Plato B. C. 427.

Many of our preachers preach holt
ness very much as a minister in
Iowa confesses he did. He said he
always preached holiness, hut in
every sermon he always took the OPP
Dortunity to give its professors a
slap. If we could whisper to our
brethren, we would kindly suggest
that this is not the most successful
way of approaching holiness Christian

How Men Get Rich.

That wasn't bad Investment
which Erwin Davis made a couple
of years ago. Erwin Davis is the
capitalist who so successfully tried to
sell his gallery of paintings some
months ago at fancy upset prices.
He is smarter financier than pic
ture seller. About two months ago
he happened to learn that the second
mortgage bonds of the Richmond
and Allegheny Railroad company
could be purchased at a very low fig.
ure. Davis had yearning for a low
priced railroad bond. He looked
into the matter and found that the
company had defauIted On the inter
est, and was apparently going to
wreck and ruin. He bought the
entire issue, $4,000. 900, from the dis
gusted holders at ten cents on the
dollar. That was an investment of
100000.
Being interested in the road he
now insinuated himself into the man
agement. and very soon ne controlled
the board of directors. He so work.
ed things that an entire reconstruc-
ton of the road was deemed impera-
lively necessary. He then invited
the attention of Mr.. Huntington to
the fact that his Chesapeake and
Ohio system would not be complete
without the Richmond and ALE.
ghany. Huntington and Davis put
their heads together and the result
was ninety-nine year lease of the
Davis road to the Huntington sys-
tenn, the second mortgage bonds be-
ing guaranteed per cent. interest.
which makes their market value
eighty cents on the dollar. Profit to
shrewd Erwin Davis in two yea 8.
