Eev. J, N. Hubbert,iu Cum. Presbyterian.
few evenings since, accompanied
by one of my deacons, / went over to
the revival meeting in progress at
Watkins Park church. AS we return
ed home my deacon said to me.
"Isn't there a passage of scripture
which speaks of the oxen as doing
all the blowing, while the. asses feed
beside them?" Whetting our men,
cries a little, we agreed that the pas
sage was to be found in the first chap.
terof job, viz. i s.The oxen Iwere
blowing and the asses feeding beside
them,a Then the deacon went on to
say: We'll, sir, do you know that
this very scripture kept running in
my mind all the time Of the service
tonight? There stood Brother Hen
ry, preaching so earnestly, and then
working SO HARDIN the after-meet-
ing; while | sat at my ease, enjoying
the sermon and Watching his jealous
movements; and / said to myself !:
THAT Scripture hits me. Brother
Henry is the Woodworking OK that is
doing the blowing, and Tam the ass
that is doing nothing but feed.'
Thereup0n / resolved to do more of
the yoke>bearing and blowing here
after" And he is sticking to his
good resolution. AS one evidence,
instead of continuing to be one of the
mum attendants at prayer-meeting
he responds to every call made upon
him. tH i~iltu1i"h 9N Ni-
On the Masters premises it seems
to me that the field where the plow-
ing is to be done has far too few
"0xen," and that the pasture is over
run with these other lazy creatures
which are 'feeding beside them"
Reader, which class of Jobs animals
do you most resembles in this regard,
the oxen or the asses? Review your
life, and think of your habits as a
church member, and be honest with
yourself and your pastor, and proba-
bly, your conscience will bring you to
the good resolve of my deacon, who
is no longer satisfied to feed only, but
wants to keep his neck under the
Masters yoke. Nor is this a hard
life, for he says "My yoke is easy,
and my burden is light"

Cigarette Papers.

Paper for cigarettes is made from
cotton and linen and from rice straw,
and is largely Of foreign manufacture,
Cotton paper is used in the cheapest
and most poisonous grades of cigar
cites, and is SO cheap that the wrap
pers for Il thousand cotton paper ci>
garettes cost only two cents. Rice
paper is the choicest and most costly.
Tobacconized paper is made by satu-
rating paper with an infusion of to-
bacco and pressing it in such a way
as to produce an imitation of the
veins of the tobacco leaf. Some use
has been made of the fiber of the
stalks of the tobacco plant in produc-
ing a paper for all-tobacco cigarettes.
The lime and other substances used
in bleaching cotton and other rags for
cigarette papers have a very harmful
influence upon the membrane of the
throat and nose. Arsenical prepara-
tions are also used in bleaching ci-
garette papers and oil of creosote is
produced naturally as a consequence
of combustion. This is very injurious
to the throat and lungs, and is said
to accelerate the development of con-
sumption in anyone predisposed to
the disease.

The Spirit Of the Age,

y" n. |H" HLNNaN
There is no such thing in this day,
and generation, aptly says the Medi-
cal Visitor, as making haste slow
~" If the Chicago business man
could be shot through a pneumatic
tube into New York City in the space
of few minutes, the limited express
tain taking twenty-four hours to
reach there would no longer be pa
tr0nized. And if the New Yorker
could land in Liverpool in less than
two days via an air line, the ocean
greyhounds would find their day of
usefulness had fled. No one has
time to build Egyptian pyramids
nowadays; indeed, with every ia.
cility to visit the land Of the Phara-
obs, few of us have time even to stop
and look at snch works of art.
Speed is the necessity of necessities in
time, and if lightning speed can be
obtained, nothing but lightning
speed will be tolerated. This rule
applies equally to firing a gun, max
ing money, or the development of
science. This century has already
passed through the phases of a cotton
age, an iron age, and is rapidly being
transformed into an electrical age.

II know not" says Ruskin, 'if a
day is ever to come when the nature
of right freedom will be understood,
and when men will see that to obey
another man, to labor for him, yield
reverence TO him, is not slavery. 1t
is often the best kind of liberty-lib-
erty from care. The man who says
to one Go, and he goeth, and to an
other Come and he cometh, has in
most cases more sense of restraint
and difficulty than the man who
'Obeys him." ftf .t- aItI a,aoHt -

Some of the Alliance People Still After
RS Bro. Mcdowell. :

AT a regular meeting of the Una
Farmers and Laborers' Union, held
Feb. 8, 1890, the following address
was adopted and ordered published
in The Nashville American: q
Brothers of the Farmers and Laborers'
Union of tennessee.
The Toiler demands that Brother
a. Mclaughlin, the President o fUna
Alliance, be expelled from our order
of the reason assigned that he has, in
the political papers, criticised the ac-
ton of the National Union. No eff
fort Is made by the TOiler to answer
u brothers. criticism or to deny the
truth of the charges he has made
against the National Union, and the
Toiler thus virtually admits that his
criticisms are just and his charges are
true, and places itself in the attitude
Of demanding a members expulsion
for telling the truth. From time to
tune our brother has, through the col
umnS of The Nashville American,
called attention to the action of the
National Union at st. Louis, in form
ing Il confederation with the knights
of Labor and agreeing to cooperate
with them in electing candidates to
Office, and in securing legislation
from Congress, and providing that we
should recognize the Knights of La
or rs brothers; and also to its action
changing Il constitution so rs TO
render eligible to mempership vast
numbers Of these Knights of Labor
who had just promulgated their plat
form demanding the contiscation Of
every ones land. This treacherous
action Of the National Union exposed
US toa most threatening danger, the
danger that if it went unrebuked, it
would lend responsibility to the ag.
itatiOn fOrthe COnfiScation ofour lands
the danger Of creating the impression
that farmers themselves would favor
a sweeping cOnfiscation Of lands as
Henry George claims they will.
Now, Brother Mclaughlin, in warn
ing us of four danger, simply dischar-
ged, to the best of his ability, a sol
emn obligation he assumed in joining
the order, a any member can see by
getting his ritual and reading the OBJ
legation. On the other hand, the
TOiler, the official organ of our order,
whose special duty it is to instruct
our members, has given them no
intimation of the deadly war
the, 40 knights seek to- wage
against the farmer, but has even
gone,so far as to quote in its columns
without comment, but. with aremark
calling attention to it, an article from
tHC AhiSit VI lJuDOI JOuIIdl dSS6Tl-
ing that our aims are identical with
those of the Knights. Shall our
brother, for keeping his obligation,
be expelled at the bidding of those
who have violated theirs? That is
the question that has been forced
upon consideration. The com
plant of the Toiler that our brother
has used the columns of "a political
paper for His Communications, is ut
terly ridiculous. Hewasobliged to use
the columns of a political paper or re.
main silent, and thereby violate his
obligation. We ask you brothers to
read what Brother Mclaughlin has
said through The American before
condemning him. B. J. BELL,
.9OIJOE lfi3s Secretary.

|-H.H
New England Farmer Why did
women ever fall into the habit of al
lowing their husbands to carry
purses, tickets and checks for both
when travelling? 1t looks much
more gallant than it really is, as any
woman will attest who nervously
watches her husband drop off the
train at every railway station to get a
paper or walk up and down the plat
form, while she remembers that he
has her money and tickets, and anx-
iously watches until he is once more
aboard the train. Then she has TO
explain to the conductor that
the short, stout gentleman
with dark blue coat and tall hat
in the smoking a has her fare. 1t
is much less confusing and "A great
deal more comfortable as Il rule for a
woman to hold her own tickets, I'M
derstand how to get baggage checked
and transferred, and to know the es-
sential points of the time table. Too
many men are ready TO Tough at a
woman who dosen't know the ways
of the world, but take special care to
keep her ignorant of how to help
herself.
