noon and proceeded to my present home.
AS entered the portals the prattIe of child
ish voices reached my ears. All! how
sweetly the musical echo resOunded through
the room! No wonder is it that He, whose
name is synonymous with all that is pure
and loving. should have taken them i'm His
arms and blessed them! The merry ring of
their voices seemed to strike slumbering
chord in my heart because the entire alb
sence of children was one of the prominent
features of my dream.
After tea friend came for me to make
All evening call with him and off we started.
We had not proceeded far before l heard a
rumbing in the air. seemingly right over
my head. and far down the street saw a
bright head light casting its rays towards
us. My first thought was that it was a
locomotive off on ''tOOt" but it was only
car on the new electric railroad.
During my dream had been confined on
the northern side of large stone building
and as the moon never went out of her ac
customed orbit to look i'm my window,
had almost forgotten how it looked. Well.
as we wended our way to what is known as
the South Hill," the moon rose in full
glory and as its rays rested on the bosom of
the silent lake and were reflected back a
thousand fold, l felt like extending out
my arms towards the beautiful queen of the
night and exclaiming. ''Oh thou blest EN-
blem of peace and purity, may thy rays
never be hid again by any mental phantas
magora of sin and wickedness. May thy
peaceful light serve only to illuminate a
life OF honesty and sObriety and may thy
kindly face be beacon over beckOning me
onward and upward" Ex-REx.

Five Gents.

cOnSlueTatlOn the marvellous Work or latter
day inventors. But the dividing line be-
tween the useful and useless is plainly de-
fined. That which is practical and which
will help humanity in any way is worthy of
our highest cOmmendatiOn and aid. The
theOrist whose intention it is to make our
life better and happier and by practical
means to draw mankind into a closer union
is benefactOr. When Morse proposed to
connect distant points by the means of
electricity there were many to ridicule the
idea. But even il he had not been success
full in 80 doing his intention was a worthy
and useful one, and, therefore, if he had
failed we would be no less indebted to him.
1t requires no subtle reasoning to discern
the difference between the useful theory of
Morse and the fanctul conceptions of the
ancient philosophers who would have us
sip the morning dew for drink and await
timely windfalls of heavenly mama for
our subsistence. There is a great differ
ence between the theories of Edison and
the wild fancies of the philosophers whose
teachings could have no other effect than to
make us lazy, shiftless creatures wandering
about admiring the works of Providence,
but not willing to avail ourselves of their
practical uses; willing to eat, but not de-
sirOus to work; singing the praises of our
God while practically ridicuing the brain.
the muscles and the will He has given us:
anxious to perpetuate our earthly existence,
but continually deprecating the world; ver-
liable babes depending entirely on gen.
erous Providence. but disdaning to make
use of the talents given us by that Prov
idence.
The putting into practice theories that
are proven useful is greatly neglected. Even
after it is clearly shown that certain means
will attain an end that could not hitherto
be SO easily gained. there is always an un-
necessary and prolonged delay in adopting
such means. We have overcome our
squeamishness in regard to the adaptablity
of rapid transit and speedy methods of fa-
cilitating business transactions; but when
new and feasible ideas are brought out
treating matters that SHOULD deeply con-
Germ us we do not give them the immediate
attention they deserve. This is especially
true In matters relative to the treatment of
prisoners. A large number of the penal
institutions of the civilized world are still
conducted on principles that were cOnsid-
cred barbarous, and unsatisfactory in their
results three centuries ago. Many other
instances might be cited regarding the ref
OrmatOn of criminals and the renovation
of some peculiar social customs but it will
suffice to say that if we throw off our
petty prejudices and use the best practical
means at our disposal in all that we under
take, all will gain by it.
This is good old world we live in, and
though some of it's inhabitants are as pro-
portiOnately bad as others are good, none
are so thoroughly degraded that they can
not be reclaimed by wise treatment and a
little self sacrifice on the part of their fell
lOw-mortals. RoNDA.
