I Write Unto You, Young Men.

l write to you, young men, to ask
you to consecrate the freshness of
your youth and strength to lofty pur-
poses. First, then, remember that
only living sacrifices were accepted
for Gods altar. Bring therefore
your gifts for his Church and his day.
Bring your bright young life with all
its ardor to the place where prayer
is wont to be made; that some who
are half asleep, and Others who have
left their first love, may be aroused,
and the dying flame be kindled
afresh. Then once more, as of old,
shall the angel be seen walking in the
midst Of the golden candle-sticks.
Not only by your oblation of praise
and prayer, but let your
faithful setting apart of your means
"as God hath prospered you" each
week, be helpful reminder to those
about you to be not slack in giving,
that 80 your aims may come up 'as
a memorial before Cod" Stir up,
too, some of the poor discouraged
ones lamenting their lack of means,
as if they can do nothing in the
Lords cause. Let them see with
what delighted alacrity you hasten
to give the cup of cold water, left us
by our loving Lord, that all might
have some refreshment for those in
need.
write unto you, young men, be-
cause "the world hath need of you"
In our large cities she has need of
your moral strength to stem the cur
rent of vice; to turn aside the jeers Of
scoffing men, when they see your
noble living up to true principles, to
show to the world that even in these
days, there is such thing as Chris.
tian integrity and commercial honor.
Nowadays, things are called by
wrong names. A young man is call
ed "smart" or said to have "great
business capacities" when in reali-
ty his "smartness" is dealing, and his
Cuisines capacities" consist in his
schemes to appropriate his neighbour
possessions for his own use, and yet
skilfully evade the law, Yet this is
what the world calls a splendid fel.
low! so generous. Yes,too often with
the money of the widow and the
fatherless, and those who have nc
redress. Beware of such a young
man, for he bellies his manhood when
he thus stoops to brand himself
"Knave." Let no such prosperity be
your envied fortune, for such, in the
just balance, will ever be found dross
Choose this fair fame, a good name
as your most precious inheritance
better than great riches.

Gods Short Way to Heaven.

A young man in Edinburg went
out, and he thought he would speak
about Jesus to the first person that
he met with. He met a Musselburg
fish-wife carrying great load on her
back. He said to her: "Here you are
with your burden" SAY" said she.
"Well," he said, "did you ever feel
spiritual burden?" cay" said she,
''that did, long ago, and / soon got
rid Of it; for / did not 60 the same
way to work that John Bunyan's
pilgrim did," "Oh," thought the
young man, 81 hoped that l had
met with Christian woman, but
she must be a great hereto to talk
in that way" "Now," said she,
"Bunyan's Evangelist that he speaks
of was not half a gospel preacher.
He was one of the usual sort. He
was not clear in the gospel; for when
he met with the poor pilgrim, weary
with its burden, he said to him: "Do
you see that wicket-gate" No. said
the man, i do not see it, DO you
see that light over the gate@' WELL
he said, think 1 do Now he
said, you run that way with your
burden" "Why, man." said she,
"that was not the way to do at all.
What had the man to do with the
wicket-gate or with the light over it?
The gospel does not say run to gate
or light. What he should have said
was: "Do you see that cross? Look
at that and your burden will fall
from yourshoulder.' ! looked straight
away to the cross, and not to the
wicket-gate; and at the cross l lost
my burden.
| 'Now,'' said she, "what did the
pilgrim get by going round to the
wicket-gate? He tumbled into the
Slough of Despond, and was like tc
have lost his life there" "Ahv said
the. young man, "did you never &C
through the Slough of Despond?
"Ah, yes!" she said, 81 have beer
through that slough many time
but let me tell you it is much better
to go through it with your burden
on" And so it is. l do not wan
any of you to attempt to founder
through the Slough of Despond witt
your burden on. l want you to have
done with the slough of Despond
and the wicket-gate, and all tina

HIS CARE.

God holds the key Of all unknown,
And am glad;
II other hands should hold the key,
Or if He trusted it to me,
l Knight be sad.
What if to.morrow's cares we're here
Without its rest?
would rather He unlock the day,
And as the door swings open say,
"My will is best"
The very dimness Of my sight
Makes me secure.
For cropping in my misty way,
feel his hand-I hear him say,
"My help is sure"
cannot read His future plan,
But this know:
l have the smiling of His face,
And all the refuge of His grace,
While here below.
Enough; this covers all my want.
And sol rest;
For what | cannot He can see,
And in His care | soon shall be,
For ever blest.

- Nothing will tend to open the eyes of
the farmer wider, and cause him to come to
a realization of his senses, than just the
simple fact that in this prosperous year of
1889 he has to deposite one bushel of oats for
the small pittance of two pounds of sugar,
and again four bushels of wheat for one pair
of shoes. Think of this, you hard-wor king
honest farmer! Will you lie dormant for an
other decade and allow these blood-sucking,
devil-fsh trusts to throttle you, your wife,
your children, and say to you what you shall
pay for the necessities of life and what shall
be paid you for the products of your yearly
earnings? Let your vote hereafter signify
that the moving in the tops of the mulberry
trees indicates that honesty will be coun-
tenanced in our legislative halls. .--Stryker Ad-
rance, Ind.

Surprise Party,

ED. NORTHWEST We beg leave of the
space in your valuable columns to relate of
birthday party which was held on Friday
evening, Sept 9th, at Mrs. Eisaman's, of
Monroe township. This party was held for
j. s. Eisamsn, it being his 21st birthday.
The party was decidedly surprise, for Je-
rome knew nothing of it until about forty
guests filed into the room one after another
at 8 O'Clock sharp, that being the time set for
the meeting of the friends. Jerome was
about ready to retire, but he changed his
mind when he saw the well-flled market
baskets that were brought in by the people.
The older ladies arranged the supper at 8
o'clock, after all the guests had arrived,
who numbered about fifty. OF the supper
We wish only to make a passing remark
that there was plenty for all. We will not
say that the tables fairly groaned beneath
the load of nice eatables, "for who ever heard
table groan," but we would have had
enough more to feed the editor and his
staff, had they been there. While supper
was being prepared and after supper, the
ySOAS 1OlhS NHlISA away LILO Will u6"
games, ETC., and we heard the remark made
more than once-'the best time I've had TO r
many day."
Jerome was presented with a number of
valuable presents by his relatives and friends,
for which he thanked them sincerely. The
party of young folks held the fort until an
early hour lin the morning., and then on
leaving all wished jerome might see ever so
many returns of the pleasant day, and at
each return of the same he could think
back on this evening with pleasure. Hoping
that this evening, Sept. 9th, 1889, or his 2lst
birthday, might have bearing on his fu-
ture life-that as he enters the years of man
hood with happiness may it always stay with
him. ANONYMOUS.

Our Canal.

Since the "Water Ways Convention" has
recommended that the "Miami and Erie Ca
nal'' be enlarged and improved and convert
ed into "ship canal" its preservation un-
impaired becomes of more vital importance
than ever before. For years the railroads of
the State have sought, by many deep-laid
schemes, to plunder and destroy our canals.
The canals have, in times past, and will con-
tinue in the future, to be the great balance
wheels in preventing exhorbitant freight
charges by railroads, and they are worth all
and more than they cost in preventing ex-
tortion. No man should be sent either to
the Senate or House of Representatives who
is not an avowed friend and defender of our
canals. Any man that is ever suspected of
countenancing the abandonment of the ca
nails should be Stunned as an enemy to our
best interests, and should meet with over
whelming defeat at the polls. Let the stamp
of condemnation be put upon the "canal
boodler" in such an emphatic manner that
his day of political resurrection will never
dawn.-Dayton Workman.

Protected Wheat.

The Republican organs tell the far
mers that wheat is protected" by the
tariff. That must be the reason it is
selling at 70 cents bushel. Another
20 per cent increase tariff duty may
bring it to SO cents per bushel. The Re-
publican farmer will certainly feel hap
.pyin knowing that his wheat is SO iiber-
ally protected by his party, but never
theless, he wouldn't object to a little
better price for it, even if it went as
high as dollar bushel, the price 1t
commanded last fall, before Harrison
was elected. And, by the way, didn't
the price ofwheat drop quick last No
vember, when the election of Harrison
was announced?-A Advertiser.
