Mr.. John F. Humphreys was billed to
speak at the meeting, but did not
appear. The reason was, as telephoned
by him to the HERALD, that he knew
nothing about the matter. While ne
was in favor of reform, he had no reason
to suppose that the Democrats would not
avail themselves of the opportunity
before them, and nominate a winning

Southern California Ahead.

A dispatch from San Jose a few days
ago said that on the 25th instant car
load OF prunes had been sent east from
that point, and claimed it was the first
one sent out for the season. That is
not correct. The honor belongs to
Pomona; for on the 23rd instant the
Santa Fe hauled from North Pomona
carload of prunes for the east. That
beats San Jose two days.

Thoughts for the New Year.

Renewed feelings of ambition are
synonomous with the opening of new
wear. More resolutions are made than
at any other time, and as often are
they alas broken. But with some the
resolutions made with the dawn of a
new wear have been carried through to
it's close. Numerous lives of honor
and achievement can be traced to
some determination of purpose made
upon an occasion such as the first day
of year affords for q fresh start IN the
Journey of life. We all desire success /;
the problem of life is it's winning. Ev-
cry person carries in his or her own
hand the key that unlocks either the
door of success or failure. The true
key of success is labor, and it requires
strong, resolute will to turn it. 1t Is
hard, earnest work, step by step, that
ensures success, and never was TINS
truth more potent than at the present
time. Positions Of trust and eminence
are no longer secured at single leap.
Men and women have ceased to sue
ceed in hurry. Occasionally there
will be an exception, but the instances
are rare. Success, 4 writer has SAID, IS
the child of confidence and persever-
ance, and never was the meaning of a
word more clearly defined. The secret
of many successful careers is the thor
ough performance of whatever has
! been undertaken. An excellent max
i'm is that which counSels us never to
put our hands to anything into whlch
we cannot throw our whole energies
harnessed with the very best OF our en-
deavors. Perseverance is essential 10
success, since it is often achieved only
through a succession Of failures. In
spite of our best efforts, failures are in
Store for the majority of the race. Ii
remains, then, for us all to do the best
we can under all circumstances, bear
ing i'm mind that races are not always
won by the swiftest feet, nor trlumphs
i'm battle secured by the strongest arms:
1t is not so much the possession OF
swiftness or strength as it is the right
application of them by which success
is ensured.
In starting out upon the journey o'
life, it is well:
First. to obtain every kernel o
knowledge within your reach:
Study people for the knowledge they
can impart to you.
Read books for what they can teacl
you. o,
Next, see what your Temperament
best suits you for.
Mark your tendencies, and apply
them.
BE sure you have not mistaken v""
calling.
Once certain, apply yourself to you
chosen work.
nv, work hard, earnest and inces

Sentiment has more practical value
than has plain matter of fact in the
relations of our everyday life: To
take away all sentiment from the re.
lation of husband and wife, of parent
and child, of brother and sister, or OF
friend and friend, is to deprive that re-
lation of its chief charm, and to leave
it without the possibility of true joy tc
either of it's parties. If the sentiment
that makes the life of young lovers Sc
full of gladness and hope be continued
into the years of the married state, the
progress of the years only increases the
hope and gladness of the life; but II
that sentiment be permitted to die out,
the life drags more and more wearlly
as the years go on. No provision OF
home and food and clothing can CON-
pensate for the lack of loving looks
and words that are the promptings OF
pure sentiment between those whose
lives are linked in inevitable compan-
ionship. Nor can any continuance OF
helpful service between friends be a
continuance of friendship, without the
controlling sentiment of friendship.
Let those who would have the joys of
any loving relation in life, guard sa-
credly the sentiment of that relation.

Do not grieve with secret and ST.
lent sorrow over the memory of those
whom you have loved and lost. Let
your prayer be, LEAD me to the Rock
that is higher than l." If it be an
swered, you will find comfort and con-
ISOLATION i'll the sympathizing heart Of a
suffering Saviour. Learn to prize the
rod that smites, and you will find it
the rod of q friend, not of an enemy,
the rod of reproof, not that of anger.
There are great lives that fashion
themselves in prayer. Their commun-
ion with God gives them somewhat of
dignity of their associations. All the
beIitt!ing things of life are obscured
and hidden under the august concep-
tions that engross the mind when it is
holding fellowship with God. Out
y ardlv, such q life is filled with the
peace and warmth of the Gospel, and
it is fruitful in spiritual results that
shall he counted among the treasures
of heaven.
Miss Havergal has said {: EVERY
year, might also say every day, that
+ live, I seem to see more clearly how
all the rest and gladness and power of
our Christian life hinges on one thing,
and that is, Taking God at His Word,
believing that He really means exactly
what he says, and accepting the very
words in which He reveals His good"
ness and grace, without substituting
others or altering the precise moods
and lenses which He has seen fit to
use."
Of all the gifts that nature can give
us, the faculty of remaining silent, or
of answering apropos, is perhaps the
most useful.
Look you, the man whom you hate
are there not women who worship
him, children who look up to him?
Who sees the true man-yon who hate
him, or they who love him?

The saddest thing under the sky is q
soul capable of sadness.
He who reins within himself, and
rules passions, desires, and fears, is
more than king.
To overlook nothing in others is Of
ten proof that we overlook q great
deal in ourselves.
Prosperity often makes man a vor-
tex instead of q fountain, so instead OF
throwing cut he learns to draw in.

"There are great many things that
God will put up with in the human
heart there is one thing that he will
not put up with-a second place. He
who gives God second place gives
him no place."
Few men suspect how much mere
talk fritters away spiritual energy ;
that which should he spent in action,
spends itself in words. Hence he who
restraints that love of talk, lays up
fund of 81 ritual strength.
Death to every man is great reality
which he cannot escape. Happy is he
who so lives that he can meet this
event without alarm, and anticipate
for himself better life when called to
retire from this earthly scene.
1t is sometimes said of man that
'he knows no fear" Such q man, if
there is any such, is himself to be fear
ed. He is an approach to insensibili-
ty, like cast iron or stone. He knows
nothing of religious trust, for 1.-THE
man who has never feared has never
trustcd.'
Good manners are the blossoms of
good sense and of good feeling. If the
law of kindness he written on the
heart, it will lead to that disinterested-
ness in great and little things-that
desire to oblige, and that attention to
the qualification of others, which are
the foundation of good manners.
Christian love cannot he cultivated,
nor envy destroyed in our hearts, but
by the power of the Holy Spirit. We
may as we'll try to pull up by the roots
the oak of ccntury's growth, or over
turn q mountain by our own strength,
as TO eradicate the vice of envy from
our hearts, without the aid of Gods
own Spirit: that aid is promised to fer
vent and persevering prayer, and if we
have it not, the fault is our own.

WORMS AND THE GRAvE.-A re-
cent writer says: People talk again
of the worms which devour the dead.
Here is another falsity. Our bodies
moulder and decay; but they are not
eaten. Worms are engendered, not by
corruption, but by flies, which must
lay the eggs from which they issue /;
and no flies have power to penetrate so
far into the earth as thu depth at which
the dead are usually laid. Wrong feel
ings about dead bodies and the grave
do more than anything else to vitiate
religious teaching, to hinder consola-
tion for the loss of friends, and in gen.
eral, to mar faith in immortality.
Happy the day when all shall learn
that the corpses of the departed are no
more than relinquished garments of
living men and womeu-temples of
God in which divine service is over
and finished, the chanting hushed, the
aisles deserted and to be contemplated
with as little terror and revolving as we
gaze at the silent ruins of RivaulX or
Tintern."
But temples, we would add, in
which q diviner Service after awhile
will be performed ruins that will be
recovered into q more beautiful and
costly shape by the Divine Architect
in the Resurrection Day.

Converts from Rome.

The present Secretary of State
James G. Blaine, is not the first coll
vert from Rome that has been mem
Der of the Cabinet. The late Mr.. Dan
iel Manning, Secretary Of the Treasu
ry in Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet, was al
so convert from the Roman Catholic
Church. He became member of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, while
Mr.. Blaine is Congregatlonalist,
though he worships in Presbyterian
Church in Washington. Though MIR.
Blaine is very friendly to the Roman
Catholics and courts the Roman Cath
olic vote in politics, the rough ele-
ment in that Church looks upon him
as an apostate from the true Church" ."
When Ills eldest daughter, the wife of
Colonel Coppinger, of the United
States Army, died last January she
was buried from st. Matthew's Roman
Catholic Church, Washington, as she
had become Roman Catholic at the
time of her marriage. When the flu
neral procession entered the church
the husband, as devout Roman Cath
Ollie, made genuflection towards the
altar on which repOsed the host, but
Mr.. Blaine as Protestant did not
bow to the wafer. This aroused the
wrath of the Roman Catholics in the
gallery, and they loudly Missed the
Secretary. Cardinal Gibbons, who was
present to pronounce the bencdiction
over the remains of Mrs. Coppinger,
did not rebuke his unmannerly follow
ers. Doubtless he thought Mr.. Blaine
deserved the Kissing on general prinei-
pies for abandoning the faith of Rome,
and in particular for not acknowledge
ing the power of the priests to tran
substantiate the wafer into the "body
and blood, soul and divinity of our
Lord Jesus Christ" assthe Roman
Catholic catechism says.

SculptOrs OntWitted.

1t is told of an artist named Giorgi-
one, who was firm friend of tile great
Titan, that three young sculptors one
day asserted in his presence that theirs
was q much finer art than painting,
and one Of them gave as a reason that
in painting only one side of figure
could be seen, while in sculpture all
sides could be represented. Giorgione
answering this said he could show the
back, the face, and both sides of man
in a picture, and that all could be seen
ut q glance without the necessity OF
walking around as one would have to
do with statue.
The sculptors only laughed at him,
but finally made wager with him
that he could not do this, which they
said would be a miracle. Giorgione
asked for four days time, at the end oil
which he agreed to produce the picture
or pay two hundred sequins. Titan
thought his friend was crazy, for they
had very little money and he felt sure
he could not show four sides of a fig
ure in one painting, and would have to
pay the bet. He did do it though, ana
in q very simple way.
On the fourth day, when the three
sculptors arrived, Giorgione displayed
his picture. 1t represented a warrior,
who, having his back turned toward
the spectator, stood looking at himself
i'm a fountain, in whose limpid waters
his full front figure was reflected. AT
the left of the warrior was suspended
his suit of polished steel armor,. IN
which was mirrored with exact fideli.
ty the whole of his left side. At the
right was painted looking-glass
which reflected that side; and thus, in
perfect though whimsical manner
Giorgione had fully succeeded in repre-
senting at the same time the four sides
of the same figure. All Venice throng
ed to see this curious production. ant
the three young sculptors who had pro
voked the bet paid their money with
good grace, readily eonfessing thei
own defeat, and the triumph of Gior
gione.

I find it an evil thing to live with
