In 1890 the center of population wa.

time it has moved westward at an av-
erage rate of about 81 miles in each
decade, never deviating degree north
or south of the thirty-ninth parallel.
The greatest progress was between 1850
and 1850, when it travelled 81 miles,
from a point in Virginia to point 20
miles south of Chillicothe, O. This, Of
course, was caused by the gold excite
ment and consequent settlement Of the
Pacific coast. In 1870 the center of
population was 48 miles northeast of
Cincinnati. The census of 1880 showed
that it had advanced So miles in the

A White Dove in Church.

A Newton, Mass, Young lady saw a
peculiar feature in church in a Maine
town which she visited this summer.
Hearing the cooling Of a dove, she
looked around and saw white dove
pcrched on the organ and listening to
he music with great appreciation.
She learned afterward that the dove
had been a regular attendant at church
for eight or ten years, being attracted
by the music, OF which it was very fond.
1t was twelve years old, aud was the

TRY 1t.

When S. L. Cpleridge was asked,
"Can you prove the truth of CARTS
tianity?" he answered, Yes, try it,
We do not underrate the evidences OF
Christianity. To many they are alto
gether convincing. But the evidence
which is always convincing is simple
experiment. Let a man honestly try
the power of religion in his own life.
and the result will always be salisfac-
tory. Did any man ever live = truly
religious life and afterward regret il, or
doubt the power and truth of religion?
There is no such case on record. Men
"ften have doubts about the truth of re-
ligion because they do not fairly weigh
the evidence. Bishop Butler well said {:
" If there are any persons who never
set themselves heartily and in earnest
to be informed in religion; if there are
any who secretly wish it may not prove
dence than to difficulties, and more to
objections than to what is said in an
swer to them, these persons will scarce
be thought in likely way of seeing the
evidence of religion, though it were
most certainly true and capable of be-
ing ever so fully proved. 1t may be
just as true that "a certain medicine will
cure certain disease as that the three
angles of a triangle are together equal
to two right angles: but it can not be
proved in the same way. To know
that the medicine will cure the disease
YOU must try it. So a man may satisfy
himself of the power and truth of re-
ligion. Let him try it. Christianity
is the cure for sin. The man that fairly
tries it will be satisfied. The evidences
of religion are many, and, when taken
together, are conclusive; yet the truth
of religion can not be demonstrated by
the mathematical process. The sub
ct does not admit of this kind of
proof, but it does admit of proof quite
AS satisfactory; proof as convincing as
that food will satisfy hunger and sus-
tain strength and life. If any man
will do his will, he shall know of the
doctrine whether it he of God" When
man has honestly and thoroughly
tried religion, and found it worthless,
let him discard it. Such man has no
where been found.

Thought OdOrs.

Not what we do not what we say, speaks for us
To fine souls here. or to the throne Of light.
Though words and acts DO fair, gods will abh0r US
And men distrust II our hearts are not right.
Our secret aim, our hidden wish or longing,
Our silent thoughts of men or worlds above
These are the te.tale forces that come thronging
To point to us as ones to loathe or love.
Our thoughts ar Q odors, and we can not seal them
So close with actions but they will creep out;
And decately fashioned souls will feel them,
And know them sweet or vile beyond doubt.
Good deeds fall dead II selfish causes guide them;
Good words fall fiat that but from lips have birth
And eloquent and noble seems, beside them,
The silence or naction of true worth.
