precisely what every man wants, as he
passes through life, and especially so
when he comes to the final hour, and is
about to meet his God in Judgment.

WISE AND FOOLISH SPEAKING.

self.
Here is saying of the Preacher,
which should have place in memory
and in practice: ''The words of wise
mans mouth are gracious, but the lips
of fool will swallow up himself The
words of wise man are as different
from the words of a babbler as light is
from darkness. The former are balm
the latter are poison. The former are
gracious" full of grace and blessing.
They bless him that speaks them; they
enlarge his experience and multi
ply his joy. They bless him that hears
them; they ease his pain, comfort his
sorrow, instruct his mind, move his
heart, and shape his life. They are like
mercy, which is twice blessed" which
"blesses him that gives and him that
takes" Take away gracious words, )"
and our hearts would be loneliness,
our homes desolation, and our world a
wilderness, without tree or spring or
song or laughter. -y
Not SO with the words of the fool.
They iniure others. They destroy him
self; they undermine his plans, they
ruin his hopes, they make success
impossible. All this is expressed, in
the verse quoted, by a figure whose ex-
travagance almost startles us: ''The lips
of fool will swallow up himself"
Rehoboam's lips swallowed up himself
when he talked to the elders of Israel
about using scorpions instead of whips,
and about his little finger being larger
than his fathers loins. The lips of
Ananias and Sapphira swallowed up
falsehood about the money they brought.
The lips of many political orator have
| swallowed up himself by unguarded
| statements into which momentary eX-
element or towering ambition had led
him. The lips of many boaster have
swallowed up himself by promises he
was unable to fulfill. The lips of many
story teller have swallowed up his
reputation for veracity.
| Similar figures are not unknown at
the present day. We speak of one man
"giving himself away" and of another
! s'being compelled to eat his own words" ~
But Solomon's figure, in its expressive.
ness, stands head and shoulders above
all others: THE lips of fool will swal-
low up himself" The man who would
swallow himself merits our ridicule. OF
all fools the self-swallower is the great.

MY EXPECTATION.

Ny expectation is from Him,
Therefore rest;
He placed the pledge Himself within
My breast
And step by step contidingly
follow where He leadeth me
Through paths the best.
My hope like bright, glittering gem,
A radiant star,
Is set within His diadem,
And far
Through the thick darkness Of the night
1t lights the pathway up the height
Where angels are.
Cisse by my side, although unseen,
HIS voice hear;
The path is smooth, the sky serene,
He's near.
A flame by night cloud by day,
The promise sweet: Il am the way"
Why should / fear?
My expectation is from Him,
Therefore wait;
He fnds when pathways are shut in,
A gate,
With neither iron bolts nor bars,
With flowers meath, oerheard the stars,
All, happy fate!

A Cause for Divorce.

when man gets the idea that he Is
lord of creation, and his wife is the
ground that he walks on, he can't make
good husband" said a Cincinnati Judge
the other day. 1T is my experience, in
hearing proceedings for. divorce, that
the average husband considers the
average wife only little above his
domestic, and. that his will must be
obeyed or she is made to suffer for it,
This is hardly just, says the Woman's
Journal, to the average husband; but II
is true of a great many husbands we
commend it to the attention
of the Divorce Reform League,
a body of well-intentioned per.
sons who have committed the mistake
of forming an association composed %
men only, to analyze the causes that lead
to divorce, and try to diminish its fire..
quency. Among the causes thus enum.
Grated by the League we do not remem-
Der to have seen any mention of the be-
lief in the minds of many husbands
that they have right to ''rule over
their wives. Yet this is undoubtedly
one of the most fruitful sources of do
nestle unhappiness.

Well Named.

Why do we call piece Of cloth nailed
to stick a flag?
THAT is, how did we happen to choose
that name? Why wouldn't it be just as
well to have named it spread, or a
string, or anything?
There are generally reasons for things.
my friends.
Did you ever see the plant named
flag? Did you notice how its leaves drop
gracefully downward, instead of stand
ing erect? 1t is true there are some
species of the plant whose leaves stand
erect, having power to support their own
weight, but it was not this kind which
gave the plant its name.
Think, now. Of all the national flags
you have seen. Did any of them stand
out straight and firm, like boards?
Don't you know how gracefully the folds
droop, and sway back and forth in the
wind? What word better than the old
Latin one, meaning Ito droop," ''to
hang down." could better describe its
character?-Pansy.

Outdoor Work.

1t does not follow, writes Celia B.
Whitehead to the New York World,
that, because a woman works out of
doors and has scant clothing, she must
be more miserable than her sister, who,
weighted with heavy skirts, does her
work shut away from the life-giving air
of heaven. A broom, wash-tub, fiat
iron, cook-stove, a sewing-machine
and mill machinery are not so much less
toilsome than the hoe, the pillow and the
cart as might be imagined from the hue
and cry raised about women doing the
work Of men and beasts. once hired q

There is no visible change in domestic
life in Kansas since women voted, UNI

The very fact OF the wife's possession
of the ballot brings along with it GER
tain authority and dignity which men
of any manliness are inclined to respect.
Municipal woman suffrage is an educa-
tor: it teaches men that wives have at
least one right which even husbands are
bound to respect; and it often happens
that the wife, whose many other rights
are trampled upon, exercises this privi-

The class known as "bad women
sends smaller representative to each
succeeding election In the first cleo
ton the abandoned women's'' vote was
brought into service, but the experience
of the side or the men thus supported
was not of a sort that tended topopular-
ize the practice. All classes of women
are represented at the polls; every typo
of woman votes. But the large major
ity of women voters come from the
ranks of thoughtful, Christian women.
The best women of the city are the ones
who lead the way to the polls. The ac'
ton of the women is recognized as
salutary influence in city government,
and is thoroughly respected in the State,

full ballot, and will use it FOR the bet
terment of the government of the State

MUST HAVE REASON TO RESIGN.
Lieutenant Reilly Finds 1t Hard to Get
Out of the Fifth.

Lieutenant Reilly Finds 1t Hard to Get
Out of the Fifth.
The return of the resignation of Lieu
tenant A. j.. Reilly, of the Fifth Regi-
menr, Newark, has been a new subject
for conversation among the soldier boys,
n various opinions are expressed as to
the Generals reasons for returning the
resignation a second time, when it had
the Endorsement of Colonel Barnard. BY
many it is supposed that the General will
order Colonel Barnard to place Lieutenant
Reilly under arrest.
1t appears that when Lieutenant Reilly
first sent his first resignation to General
Steele, the reason expressed Tor his desire
to resign was given as personal. This, in
a military view is not a proper reason,
and therefore the resignation was re-
turned for a better reason.
The second time the resignation was
forwarded, the reasons stated were bust
ness and personal. Again it was returned
as not being in proper form. and the
Lieutenant was told that personal reasons
were not reasons that could be accepted.
If he felt himself aggrieved by anything
that had transpired in his regiment caus-
ing him to desire to resign his commits
sion, he might request a court of inquiry,
and such request would be granted.
AS the case now stands, if Lieutenant
Reilly is still determined to resign he
must give other good and ample reasons
for his desire. General S~teele's action u
this matter is perfectly proper when
viewed in q military light.
