Who Serves His Country Best.

Who serves his country best?
Not be who, for brief aAd stormy space,
Leads forth her armies tG the fierce
affray.
Short is the time Of turmoil and unrest.
Long years Of space succeed it and
replace;
There is a better way.
Who serves his country best:
Not he who guides her Senates in debate,
And makes the laws which are her
prep and stay;
Not he who wears the poets purple vest,
And sings her songs Of ioVo and grief
and fate;
There is better way.
He serves his country best
Who joins the tide that lifts her nobly on
For speech has myriad tongues for
every day,
And song but one; and law within the
Is stronger than the craven law on
stone;
There is better way.
He serves his country best
Who lives pure life and doeth righteous
deed,
And walks straight paths, howe'er
others stray,
And leaves his SOUS as an utte-mOst
bequest
A stainless record which all men may
read:
This is th9 better way.
No drop but serves the slowly lifting tide,
No dew but has an errand to some
flower.
No smallest star but sheds some helpful
ray,
And man by man, each giving to all
the rest,
Make firm the bulwark of the country
power;
There Is no better way.

with the question of the guilt OF
Sir William Gordon Cumming we
have little interest, but the facts
brought out in that trial as beariug
on the condition Of social life in Eng
land are of tremendous import,
not only to England but to the worl'.
The prevalence Of gambling 10 mod
ern times is something appalling.
The drink curse can alone be com.
pared with it. The two things are
often found together. Gambling
seems to be enormously on the in
crease. 1t is fact that there is
more gambling to>day than at any
other period in the history OF our civ
ilization. There is a reason for this.
FASCINATING PURSUIT.
"Gambling is a fascinating pur-
suit. 1t is the most fascinating
