MISCELLANY.
A Father. Advice TO mi- Dnush,er.

- H"t"NtH N"Nice 70 ISIS Dnughter.
Printed in New York state paper In 1910, ant
now republished by request
Dear child within the closet Of thy heat
Lock up the counsel which now impaft
Devote to God the flower of thy youth,
TAKE for thy guide the holy word Of truth.
Adorn thy soul with grace; prize wisdom more
Than all the gold upon the Indian shore
Expect not TO live free from grief and sorrow
FOR he who laughs today may weep tomorrow
Nor dream OF joys without alloy below
The rose without It's thorns did never grow
Scorn this vain world, avoid its deep decoys
But fix thy fervent hopes on heavenly joys
temple In thy breast for Christ prepare
And let no meaner guest have entrance there
Our journey from the cradle 10 the grave
Al most is short; no large provision crave.
To Him who clothes the meadows, and whose
Refresh their plants and raise their dropping
flowers,
who for each chirping bird prepares nest.
Aud gives each creature food which suits It best
70 Him refer thy wants. and let Him grant
What In His wisdom He shall see thee want
Return Him thanks for blessings that are past,
50 mayst thou receive greater than the last
for faults before his face repTOve thy friend.
But his good deeds behind his back commend
BAD company, as deadly poison, shun.
BAD company its thousands hath undone
Beware Of idleness; there's nothing worse;
Oi vice the parent and Of man the curse.
Flee from pride; high hills are barren found,
While lowly valleys with rich fruit abound
The giddy multitude still 20 astray;
i@aNe thou the broad aud choose the narrow way.
Keep death and judgment ever In thine eye:
lie only is 1t 10 live who's III to die
me rules OF temperance with strictnpss keep;
Avoid ufense in meat and drink and sleep
No costly garments wear; let men admire
Ihy spirit rather than thy rich attire
II thou intend TO choose a married life
Aud I'LL the station Of a vrtuous wife
Let not thy choice be warped by worldly gain
Or comely form; such motives are but vain
Wheh money makes the match or aught impure
Con1uga bliss is short or insecure
Let knowledge hll the mind. refine the heart
lhat by discourse thou wisely mayst impart
10 profit others Holy thoughts within
WIZ guard thy tongue and guide thy lips from sin
All sinful pleasures steadily eschew.
Lest thou the path Of ruin shouldst pursue
Distinguish justly between faithful friends
ANA tawning iiatterers, who, for basest ends,
Allure the ear with words as smooth as oil
And make a show Of friendship TO beguile
Let conscience, calm and clear, direct thy soul
Labor for peace; avoid disputes with all
Stlll tread fierce wrath and lawless passion down:
a woman prudence is by meekness shown
He loving, patient, courteous and kind;
Nor ere let speen disturb thy peace Of mind
80 mayst thou grace and honor find below;
ANA when thou shalt receive the mortal blow
Ot death thy soul shall rest above,
Ana gain the mansions Of eternal love

Rev. Abinadab Mud is a preacher whose
unfortunate name has banished him to the
northern part of New Hampshire.
If all mothers were like Chinese mothers,
dime museums would have no show at all.
The Woo-foh woman, who recently gave
birth to bouncing four-eyed boy, lost no
time in drowning him in a handy tub of
water.
And now the Bosphorus is to be bridged
A French company has raised the money
and will throw a bridge S72 yards long
across the historic and picturesque channel
which flows between Europe and Asia and
unites the Euxine with the Sea of Marmora.
Madame Patti has given orders to have
built for her on her estate at Craig-y-nos,
Wales, the prettest private theatre in the
world. Although it will seat only about
1850 people, it will be as complete in all its
details as the largest opera house 1t will
be finished next spring, and Henry Irving
will dedicate it,
1t is now - or 10 years since James Lick
of San Francisco made his magnificent pub
lie bequests, but the trustees have not yet
fulfilled all the trusts committed to them,
and many years are likely to elapse before
they are completed. One advantage of the
delay has been that the property left has
vastly increased in value, and the fear that
the funds would prove insufficient has been
dissipated
Sir Henry A. Issacs, lord mayor of Lon
dom Sir Henry Fowler and other British
capitalists are applying to the Dominion
parliament for a charter for a railway to
run from Quebec to St. Charles Bay, Lab
rador. They propose TO put on line of
ocean steamers, the eastern terminus of
which will be Milford Haven, Wales, and
hope TO cover the distance from Chicago to
England by the way of the new route in
two days less time than is at present occu-
pied by way of New York. They hope TO
secure export trade.
One of the oldest engineering projects in
the world is now gradually approaching
completion, and the work will probably be
finished during the present year This is
the canal through the Isthmus Of Corinth
in Greece. Work was actually begun on
the canal under the Emperor Nero, so that
over 1900 years will have passed between
its beginning and its final completion. As
finally excavated the canal will be four
miles long, with depth of eight metres,
or sufficient for the largest vessels which
usually navigate the adjacent seas.

A hot box on a freight car of the New Haven and Derby train, which is run up the main line to Hawleyville shortly af- ter s p m, caused delay of about 12 hours, Saturday. The box became so hot that the axle of the ear was twisted off and the car derailed. It was dragged along the ties for about 60 rods before the train could be stopped and the track was so badly torn up that trains could not pass until nearly : o'clock, Sunday morning. Passengers were transferred around the wreck, and Agent Taylor was kept on duty all night at Newtown.

-McKinley's new tariff bill does not
suit the Democratic free traders, and it
is not likely that any measure (even a
free trade one), introduced by the Repub-
licans, would suit men determined not to
be pleased.
1t is unfortunate for the business inter
ests of this country that the tariff ques-
ton has been made a political one. Men are
led to view the subject from political
rather than from an economic standpoint.
Democrats who advocate the protective
theory in many ways locally, object TO it
when applied to national interests. For
instance, Democrat has no trouble in
seeing that it is for the interests of town
that home Industries be patrenized, even
If more is paid than to an outside party.
He reasons that If his home mechanics,
his home manufactures, arc not supported,
these men will be compelled to quit bust
ness, thus throwing workmen out of en-
ployment, depressing all business and de-
stroying the prosperity of the town. But
when this idea is applied with great
deal more reason, between our own pro-
ducts as nation and those of others, with
the added argument of lower foreign
wages as reason for home protection),
he refuses to see its wisdom and justice.
No tariff law can be framed which will
not work hardship in exceptional cases,
and no law OF the kind will ever be framed
that will not contain flaws and weak
nesses. The different interests of various
sections make 1t necessary to compromise
and yield when abstraclly 1t is not equita-
BILE to do SO. But an imperfect law is not
an argument for its repeal but for its i'm
provement.
II it is true that the more we make at
home and the less we buy abroad, the
more prosperous we become, then the
whole tariff question is admitted, and tar
if laws are justified that discourage the
purchase abroad of anything that can be
made at home.
That the protection OF American manu-
features, even to the point of prohibition
of the introduction Of foreign goods,
would build up monopolies Except tenn
porsrily), is absurd. In Q territory large
enough for dozen empires and capable
Of feeding the population of world, the
inducement to invest capital in any bust
ness paying big profits would soon destroy
monopolies and trusts. Strangely enough
Qf the tariff is the cause of trusts), the
biggest and only big monopolias are those
upon which the tariff has little or no in
fiuence, viz: The Standard Oil Company,
the anthracite coal companies, the sugar
trust and the railroads.
