1t is easier to follow the worlds
counsel than to adhere to our own con-
victions of right. But if we do right
we shall never have cause to regret it;
whereas, if we fail to do right, we
shall never be without cause of re-
gret for oIr failure. And God will ap-
prove our right doing, even though all
the world should deem US foolish or
over-particular.
A life spent in brushing clothes, and
washing crockery, and sweeping floors
"a life which the proud of the earth
would have treated as the dust under
their feet; life spent at the clerks
desk; a life spent in the narrow shop I;
life spent in the laborer's hut, may
yet be a life so ennobIed by Gods low
ing mercy that for the sake of it a
king might gladly yield his crown.
He who faces the sun of truth leaves
all shadows behind them.

If people in their benevolent im-
pulses could realize that their gifts
were to be made to Christ, whom they
dearly love, their aims would assume
al entirely different aspect from ordi.
nary charities. Generally there are
only two persons concerned in benevo-
lent deeds-the benefactor and the
beneficiary; and the considerations
are purely human. The latter is an
unthrifty family, beggar, an unde-
serving tramp, an unpretentious and
needy Church, poorly paid minister
of the gospel, and hence along with
the benevolent impulse there is a feel
ing of reproach, or self-complaccnt
merit in the comparison, that only
half opens the hand, and throws in Il
grudge with the gift. But let these
Christian bcnetactors understand the
words, Doing to the least OF these, ye
do it to me. Then they confront
Christ then the consideration would
be, How much shall | give to Christ?
He was rich, and became poor for me.
cannot stint my gifts.

What to Read when the Day is Over.

1t is wise at night to read but for a
few minutes, some book which will
compose the and soothemindI which
will bring US face to face..with the true
facts of life, death and eternity ;
which will make us remember that
man doth not live by bread alone /;
which will give US, before we sleep, Il
few thoughts worthy Of Christian
man with an immortal soul in him.
And, thank God! no one need go far
to find such books. I do not mean
merely religious books, excellent as
they are in these days; J. mean any
books which help to make us better
and wiser and sober, aud more charit-
able persons any books which will
teach us to despise what is vulgar and
mean, foul and cruel, and to love what
is noble and high-minded, pure and
just. In our own English language
we may read by hundreds Of books
which tell us of all virtue and of all
praise. The stories of good and brave
men and women; of gallant and hero
ic actions; Of deeds which we our
selves should be proud OF doing; OF
persons whom we feel to be better,
wiser, nobler, than we are ourselves.

1t is we'll to keep in mind that! no
day leaves us just where it found US.
We are with each departing day older
in time and nearer to the grave. Some
addition for good or i'll is made to the
record of life. We are made better or
worse. Habit becomes a little strong

The need of dispatch in the work Of
life increases. we have less time to

A Smart Boy.

I'm glad 1 have good-sized slate,
With lots of room to calculate.
Bring on your sums! I'm ready now:
My slate is clean; and know how.
But don't you ask me to subtract,
/ like to have my slate we'll packed;
And only two long rows. you know,
Make such miserable show;
And, please. don't bring me sums to add !;
Well, multiplying's just rs bad;
And, say! I'd rather not divide
Bring me something haven't tried!

OUT OF THE CURRENT.-Said {
Christian lady sadly: II feel that my
religious life is empty and joyless.
still read my Bible daily, and say my
prayers morning and evening, but the
peace and joy possessed before chang
ing my residence are gone"
The kindly answer was: "What
you need is to get into the current
again-the current of the Christian
life of to-day"
Critical, caviling brother, this is
what ails you. You are not conscious
ly hard or unjust, but your attitude as
mere spectator of what your breth-
rem are doing is not favorable to right
views or charitable judgment. You
cannot appreciate the difficulties they
meet, nor can you rejoice in the sue
cesses in the achievement of which
you have taken no part. Claim your
privilege as 4 Christian worker, keep
step with the marching hosts of Isra-
ell, and soon carping critic will be-
come a happy and fruitful servant of
Christ. Get into the current.

A Meeting Where Priest and Preacher Spoke
In Favor of Total Abstinence.

A Meeting Where Priest and Preacher Spoke
In Favor of Total Abstinence.
A large number of temperance workers
and others met at Masonic Hall last night,
where the exercises were conducted under
the auspices of the Knights of Father
Mathew. But the blue of the Murphy
League was as conspicuous as the emblem
of the Knights. and besides. several Protes-
TAM denominations as well as Catholics
were represented. There is to be grand
unison in this holy cause" said P. j. Kel-
leher. when he opened the meeting. "The
salOOn-keeper does hot ask what is your
creed or your politics. AS Bishop Ireland
said. there must be unity to cripple this
drinking habit" The Rey; Dr; 1. A. Good

loon, and l will pledge so per cent. of the
Protestants in this city to %endeavor. with

Rev. Father .Alerding. of ST. Joseph's

reverend Father. What we believe and
what we hold is that a man Is a very Cor

capable of practicing the greatest and no
blcst kind of virtue. If We are to succeed
in this grand and noble work let us have
some great motive which will keep the en-
thusiasm alive. We are to preserve
the manhood of Gods creature by
keeping him a temperate creature"
A letter was then read by Father Alerling,
showing that as early as 17S6 intempcrance
was a prevailing vice in Indiana. The letter
was written by Father Gibault to the
Bishop at Quebec. IL should" wrote Father

Il hope" said DIR. Rondthaler, of the Tab
ernacle Presbyterian Church, that this
temperance movement will go on until lib
home. 1t is a good thing to hear from Bra
Zil, where we supposed the Catholic
Church was on the side of. Kings and mon
arches. that there the great principle oflib-
erty was carried forward by Catholic bish-
ops. Dur privileges are greater, on oppor-

our ability is greater. and we act no more
by virtue of that which has been done.

progress; that which has gone is an earnest

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.


The train records show that there were
seventy-five more loaded cars received and
forwarded at indianapolis last week than
in the week ending Nov. 16. and 2.757 more
than in the corresponding week last year,
and the movement would doubtless have
been several hundred cars heavier could
the cars have been secured. The shipments
of grain, both to New England and New
York, and of four for export are larger
than at any time for some months. There
is also a liberal sprinkling of cotton and
considerable lumber going forward. West
bound business has increased remarkably
the last few days. being now equal IN ton
mage To the best weeks o. October. The
Pennsylvania last week Brought ives t 9S1
Big Four 95 loaded cars, and
the other roads show something of
an increase over the preceding week. The
shipments of anthracite coal and coke
are still light westward. probably on ac-
count of the mildness of the weather.
There are larger shipments of railway sup
plies than at the corresponding period last
year. The business coming west. however.
Is made up largely of dry goods aud heavy
groceries. NOrth-and-sOuth lines are doing
an excellent business. never better at any
season of the year. Cars are loaded very
evenly both ways. On the fifth division of
the Pennsylvania lines. which is the 1ndi-
annapolis q Chicago dividon. there were
800 loaded cars sent north and 321 brought
in, and on the Louisville, New Albany d.
Chicago and the Lake Erie Il Western the
n~orth-and-south movement did not vary
more than a few cars. Local coal business is
excellent, both in and outbound. There is
