A loving word is always safe word.
1t may or may not be a helpful word to
the one who hears it; but is sure to
be pleasant memory to the one who
speaks it. Many a word spoken by
us is afterward regretted; but no
WORD of affectionate appreciation, to
which we have given utterance, finds
IL place among our sadly remembered
Expressions. Looking back over our
Intercourse with a dead friend or a
Fellow worker, we may, indeed, re
greet that we were ever betrayed into
" harsh, or hasty, or unloving word of
1censure or criticism in that inter-
course; and we may wish vainly that
NJ I'VE had now the privilege of saying all
he loving words that might honestly
have been spoken while he was with US.

A little girl of five or six summers,
stopping with her parents at one Of
the fashionable hotels at Saratoga
Springs, was invited at dinner to take
some wine, as it was passed around.
She declined. "Why do you not
trke wine with your dinner, Minnie?"
asked a gentleman who sat near her.
ssTause I doesn'tlike it." 'tBut take

Rev. B. Fay Mills, the Coming man.
of the nation in evangelistic work, is
pronounced on the prohibition ques-
ton. Listen to him: 81 would
like to give a little sermon on temper
ance, and | would like to make it so
plain that everybody could under
stand. Sometimes person will insult
me by asking me which side of the
temperance or prohibition question |
am on! Which side am / on? Well
you go to the drunkards and thieves,
and burglars, and gamblers, and saloon
keepers, land the makers of the occurs
ed stuff, and find out which side they
are on, and then put me down on the
other side Why is it that these ac-
cursed saloons exist to-day? Because
men worship the god of hell. Suppose
a man should come here to-day and
take one of your fairest and brightest
children, and by making few passes
over it convert it into an idiot; the
whole community would be after him.
Millions of dollars would not induce
you to license him TO do such a thing
if he could do it in ten minutes, and it
is only question of five years, or pos
sibly ten to twenty, and you will allow
him to do that very thing, and for only
a paltry few hundred dollars.'

Glover BOy.

GLOVER Boy is one of the most perfect hors-
es in Northern Vermont. Our country is food
ed with small horses of little value Such
horses are not in great demand. Horses of
LOO lbs with good style and action, will al
ways be in demand at high prices. 1t costs
colt to bring $500 to $500 at four years old,
than to raise one that never bring more
than half that at the age. He is a beau
tiful bay, with black points, 10 hands high and
weighs over 200 lbs. He has taken first pre-
MUM at Caledonia and Orleans County Fairs.
GLOVER Boy sired by Prince Albert Jr.,
his dam a Thoroughbred Bulrush Morgan. He
has since been taken to Brookline, near Bos-
ton. Prince Albert was Thorough bred Eng
lish, and imported by the Drummond Agri-
cultural Society at cost of $4,000, and was
noted for style, durability and speed. The
Bulrush Morgan is a breed of horses usually
farm horses, superior rcadsters, and for COM
ing to maturity from one to two years young

fifteen years old; was raised by James Dow of

FINDING FAULT

OF all the weaknesses which flesh is
heir to, that of fault finding is perhaps
the most common. 1t is always easy
to see wrong in others. A writer in
the Standard says: Does it pay to find
fault? You who are the wise keepers
of the houses, and the dear keeper of
hearts, does it pay? There are heavy
burdens to bear all day = manifold
cares from the rising to the setting of
rhe sun-blunders made by those who
should have known better, many a
thing to annoy; but don't make cold
and cherries the home atmosphere by
finding fault. There is no blight more
deadly in its tendency, nothing that
can more surely disturb the harmony
of home, nothing that will recoil more
quickly upon yourself, than this habit
of fault finding.
Not that errors should go unrebuk-
ed, or mistakes uncorrected; but note
down in your memory, and when the
work and care and tumult of the day
are all over, then call the little ones
and the larger ones around you and
tell them soberly, but kindly, of the
wrong doings, and see if you are not
amply repaid for your forbearance by
the smile and tear, and the little word
of contrition and promise of amend
ment. You viii be a thousand times
happier when you lie down to sleep,
and sweet forgetfulness has settled
over your little flock, than you would
have been had the blue eye now clos
ed been filed with bitter tears that
|overflowed at unkind censure, or had
the little golden head dropped under
the shadow of your constant frown.
How sweet and satisfying life might
be to us all if we would forget to fret,
and find fault and complain. Don't
save your words of praise and appre
citation until it is too late. You love
the little children, the dear little chill
drenl And if they do speak loud, and
disturb the order of the house, don't
find fault. 1t won't pay.

Senator Coggeshall has introduced
in the New York senate a bill to re-
Heve from disfranchisementa army and
navy nurses, and the wives, mothers
and daughters of soldiers of the war.
Nothing will satisfy the advocates of
woman suffrage except full suffrage
for all properly qualified women, and
there are many other women just as
deserving as the army nurses and SOL
diers' wives. Nevertheless, we should
be glad to see suffrage extended even
to a few women, as an entering wedge.

But there will never come into our
hearts at such time, single pang of
regret over any word of impulsive or
deliberate affection which passed our
lips at any time.
We have reason to be on our guard
in our speech in most directions; but
we can be fearlessly free in our loving
utterances. Apart from any question
of the good we do to others by our
words of love, we are personally the
gamers. for now and for hereafter, by
every such word which we speak ex-
plicitly; and we are sure to be the
losers, now and by and by, from every
such word which we ought to have
spoken and failed to speak.

EVERY Two AND HALF MINuTEs.-The
blood makes circuit of the body every %
minutes, delivering nutriment and taking
back waste matter to be filtered out by the
liver ond kidneys and removed from the body
through the bowels and the urinary secretion.
Any stoppage or obstruction of this process
may produce various forms of disease, such
as Dyspepsia, Biliousness, Constipation,
Headache, Debility, and bad blood with its
multiplied evils (boils, blotches, pimples,
sores, eruptions, assesses and the like.)
When such distractions exist as evidenced by
the presence of complaints similar to those
just mentioned, the best medicine to use is

MOTTO: aGod and Home and Native Land :,
THE SALOON A NUISANCE.

The saloon should be regulated to
the same category as public nuisances.
1t should be abated, crushed out, ex-
terminated, as are they, and on the
same ground, viz: that it is detri-
mental to the health and welfare of
the people, an injury to the body pol
itic. If a man erects a milldam which
backs the water over the meadows of
the farmers whose lands lie along the
stream above him, converting them
into marshes, the law promptly comes
to their relief and compels him to re-
move his dam, or to pay a fair price
for the land his act has rendered val
ueless. Why should not the law also
lay it's hand upon the man who sets up
saloon and enters upon the occupa
ton of running his neighbours sons by
making them drunkards? Is a strip of
meadow land to be better guarded by
the law than the welfare of young cit
liens? The saloons wrong doing is
by far the greater of the two for
while money can pay for the injured
meadow, it can never repay the father
for the ruin of his son.
If a man establish a fertilizer facto-
ry, or any similar establishment, at
point where the abominable stenches |
affect the atmosphere and annoy the
neighboring residents, the law steps |
in and compels him to remove it, on
the ground that it is a nuisance, inju
rious to the public health. Why then |
should man be allowed to establish |
a saloon, to poison the moral atmos
phere? Is mans physical health, to be |
carefully conserved, while his moral |
health is ignored by the law?
If hbertine leads a mans daughter |
astray, the law deals with him severe
ly; what good reason should be given |
why it should not deal as severely
with the saloon keeper for leading
son from the paths of sobriety, and /
turning him into a sot? There is no
gteater degree of turpitude inner
ent in the one case more than in
the other. It is as impossible for the
young man to become the strong, pure
man he was, as it is for the girl to re-
gain her lost honor.
The truth is that the rum traffic and
the men engaged in it have been treat
ed with far more fOrbearance than
they deserve. That traffic is the crime
of crimes; and the souls of the men
engaged in it are as burdened with
the blood Of the men they have been
instrumental in sending to their
graves as though they had murdered
them in cold blood. The saloon lisa
robber that takes the sustenance of
women and children; it is an Cypress
or because through it men are ruined
and their wives and children brought
to poverty; it is not only the promot-
er of poverty, but the abater of law
lessness and vileness, the propagation
of villainy, and the instigator of crime.
1t is the devils great ally, and sends
more mems souls to perdition than
any one other evil instrumentality
The people of the nation must be
reused to a realization of these facts.
They must be brought to see that no
halfway measures will control it, that
there is but one effective mode of
dealing with it, and that is its entire
overthrow and total determination
