One Rule For ALI.
ra--

AOF y
/ think there is something OF
meanness on the part of laymen
who seem to believe that because
they are laymen they "a do things
clergymen ought not to dog A
woman of my congregation said to
me the other day, after describing
the performance at u theatre she
had visited the night before: son.
I wish you could have seen it! but
then / should have been sorry to
see you there" Christian charac-
ter, Christian duty, and Christian
bearing in social, political and
moral life is a single rule for all
Christian people alike, whether
clerical or lay. What is wrong,
immoral or improper for the one
is equally 50 for the other. A
clergyman should always be careful
and circumspect as to his associa-
tions and manner of life-so should
the layman. A place unfit for q
clergyman to be seen in is equally
unfit for a commandment of the
church, and an act which is i'm
moral in a clergyman is equally so
in a layman. A layman has no
business in a place where he would
blush to see his pastor present.

At a lecture delivered by a lady
in st. Louis upon the subject OF
Christian science Miss Phoebe
Couzins arose and asked if it were
claimed that by means of this
science any desired end could be
effected. The lecturer answered
promptly and emphatically in the
affirmative.
Il Am glad to hear that" Miss
Couzins said: II am a maiden lady
and am somewhat advanced in
years; it is not probable that I shall
ever be married. However, l still
cherish an ambition which ! am
proud to say 1 nave always had,
aud l ask you now in a spirit of
earnest inquiry, by what process
Of your science it will be possible
for me to have twin ch,ldren?"
This combined confession and
inquiry caused a great sensation
Alter the Applause had subsidized
the lecturer admitted that the
rcience had not yet reached that
point where it could realize Miss
Couzins' ambition. "Rut," added
The speaker, I've have faith that
ultimately even that point will be
reached Chicago News.
- W. know a young business man
of this city who, in all earnest
ness, holds the same opinion as
above quoted in regard to what il
called Christian Science.

nois have shown their preference for
candidate, John NJ. Palmer.
Becoming satisfied that we could
not elect a man who would fally rep
resent our people, we have called upon
Gen. Palmer to ascertain what assur-
ances he would give us In regard to
his official action affecting such legis-
lation as our people demand. This In
terview was most satisfactory, even
beyond our expectations. Gen. Palmer
has earned our admiration by his
manly way of conducting his fight
this winter, in refusing to allow any
corruptive influences to be used In his
behalf to secure his election. He has
said all the time that he did notintend
and did not want to go to tho United
States Senate In that way, telling US
that he did not propose to go to hell
by way of the United States Senate.
"While he does not fully represent
us, he has forced US to believe hat he
is an honest man.
while this has been q prolonged
contest, we feel that the effect has been
good-that it has forced the politicians
to admit that there is something
wrong-and we believe that the at
tention of the masses has been drawn
to the matter, and the result to follow
must be good and beneficial. From
what we have seen here we are more
firmly convinced than ever that the
further prosperity and happiness oi
this country depend on the success
and growth of an independent party
More firmly than ever are we con-
WINGED that an independent political
movement by the toiling millions O
the country is the only hope OF the
people.
submitting to the candid judgment
of the people our course In this Gen
eral Assembly, and in view of the facts
as above stated, we will tomorrow,
March IL, cast our votes for John NJ
Palmer, and bring this prolonged con-
test to a close.

SPRING.
BY EMILY VAIL.

BY EMILY YAH.
We looked for the beautiful spring,
1t was time for her coming. I know;
But what did old winter but fling,
In u watching eyes, showers of snow?
We listened to hear the birds sing,
Twas the veriest folly, I fear,
For what did the jealous old king
Buta piercing blast shrek in our ear?
We meier loved the grim tyrant's
reign
And wish his mad revelry DER,
Careering DER hillside and plain
He has frightened sweet spring from
our door.
Oftimes have we seen her soft hand
Wrest his strong ivy sceptre away,
Drive his ruffiau host from our land
And quickly begin her mild sway.
The robin looks downcast and sad,
And we hear not a snatch of his song,
We know that he thinks it too bad,
After he has waited sc long.
Empty visions, birds, bees, and
flowers
Go fitting, alas /! through the brain,
With visions of soft sunny hours
A doubt that they'll e'er come again

Some of the lessons drawn by
the american Agriculturalist from
the immense crops of potatoes
grown in competition for prizes are:
That cutting the seed potatoes into
sets with two eyes each gives most
general satisfaction; that large or
medium sized potatoes are best for
planting; that the sets should be
cut before the sprouts have started;
that planting should be delayed
until settled weather; that placing
the sets directly upon stable
manure is bad practice, and that
concentrated commercial fertiliz-
ers are better as a rule than stable
manure.
