The demagogue is the worst pro-
duct of democratic form of govern
ment. He is without any fixed
principle, unless his consistency in
Inconsistency can be called such.
He plays on the unholy passions of
the people to further his own unholy
aspirations, he is one thing to one
man, another thing ito another, all
things to all men that he may per-
adventure attain their sufrages.
His promises are profuse, his expla-
nations voluminous, he loves every
man, woman and child in his "dear
old country" He is interchangeable
in his efforts to sound public opin-
ion and perspires to 60 on the side
of the majority. He deceives the
public for time into believing that
he is patriot, and swimmeth for a
season on the very top of the pot.
But the end Of that man is not tar
of, his course is not long, his last
are his worst days. And none are
found so lowly as to do him rever-

"DOES IT ,PAY2V

The question Of the day is, "Does
it payw If a man is in business
that gives him sufficient returns to
enable him to keep his family in
moderate circumstances, eight out
of ten would say that it was not
paying him. Men in business seem
to want to accumulate Wall street
and pile up wealth with lightning
like rapidity or burst. Many a'.man
doing a business that paid him from
$1,000 to $4,000 year has COM
planned that it did not pay and has
branched out and enlarged, with a
view to making money more rapidly.
only to meet failure in the end.
Millions of dollars are lying idle,
waiting investment in something
that pays, and the feverish manner
in which people change from one
investment to another, looking for
something that pays, shows the uni.
versal quest for the signboard point
ing to the rapid road to wealth.
''The quick starter is better than
the slow dollar" may in some be a
good motto, but the element of risk
in many Of the present day transac-
tons that put it into practice is GER
tainly considerable. 'Slow but
sure" The old darkey hit it about
right when he said: cit amt de
boss what makes de most fly, nor do
turkey dat don't make any fly, but

Duty ought never to wait on feel>
ing; but feeling ought always to
wait on duty. a man ought never
to pivot his duty on his feelings :;
but every man ought to conform his
feelings to the demands of duty.
Kind speech is a duty, whether a
man feels kindly or not. But kind
ly feelings are always a duty, and
he who lacks them. ought to set him
self at acquiring them. Not feeling,
but duty, must lead a man course;
but mans right feeling is included
in his every day duty.

CHARACTER AND REPUTATION.

Reputation is what you seem to
be, character is what you really are.
Men look upon the surface of our
lives. God looks down into the soul
and He reads the hidden motives,
the Utmost desires, your real thoughts,
and all that goes to make your char
acter. Your reputs ton is in the
hands oil those around you; your
character is in your. own keeping.
You are building it day by day.
The life of every hour has its infu-
ence either for evil or for good.
There is not thought but it strikes
some blow Your impulses and pas
sions are all at work upon these
Whatsoever your imagination is
having its part in this wonderful
work. You think you are only en-
gagged in the solution of the problem
of loss and gain as you put your en-
ergy into your business day after
day, but in this daily course you are
doing something of infinitely more
importance to you than that-you
are building character. If this
structure is to endure when all
others have crumbled into decay is
1t not a mat:er of greatest import
ance that we use every means to
have it right and substantial and
true? If the mason as he builds
the wall needs a plumbline to test
its correctness and help him to see
the flaws and the imperfect parts,
do We not need such criterion in
the work of character building ?
The plumbline is always held from
above, otherwise it could have no
value as rule, and so must the in
strument of testing, which is to help
us to build, be let down from above.
1t must be held by the hand OF God.
The trials and temptations of our
lives as God permits them to come
to us are like the plumbllne. They
show rs the weak places in our
characters. They point out the de-
fects, the parts of the wall that are
out of line, and thus we are tested
and tried. The purest life is not
found in the sheltered nook where
no storms ever reach it. But after
all the real plumbline, the true
criterion, is let down from heaven
to earth, held by God among men
as their model, the rule of lite.

There is a difference between
speculation and investment. Specu-
lation means that you are playing
for big stake, with chance of
loosirg all that you put in. Invest
ment means that the money you use
in the transaction is sure to return
you a rate of interest either high or
low. We would remark en- PEASANT
that money placed in Marietta town
property and adjacent farming lands
Is an investment and not a specula-
ton, and an investment which is
yielding and will continue to yield
those who have invested large per
cent profit per annum.

A WIFE TAUGHT A MUCH NEEDED
LESSON.

A man with large business inter-
ests and handsome income married
a lady who, accustomed all her
previous life to the luxuries of
wealth, had never formed any clear
conception of the worth and pur-
chasing power of money. For some
months the indulgent husband graft
fed his wife's every whim.
One day the lady, to carry out
some caprice, asked for check for
so large sum that the gentleman
was disturbed. He saw that such
prodigality, if persisted in, meant
ruin; but not wishing to grieve his
wife by a downright refusal he de-
termined to give her a lesson in f.
nance. He therefore smilingly re-
marked that he could not give her
a check as usual, but would send up
the money from his store.
About noon the promised money
came, not in crisp bills, as was ex,
pected, but in silver dollars, the
sum total filling several specie bags.
The wife was first vexed, then
amused, and fnally,as the afternoon
wore away, became deeply thought
full. When her husband came home
to supper she took him gently by
the arm, and leading him into the
room where the ponderous bags of
specie were still standing, said:
my dear, is this the money l
asked you for this morning.
at is, my love- was the reply.
"And did you have to take this
money all in, dollar by dollar,in the
course of your business" was the
next question.

A great many of the southern
states are unhappy because they
have not sufficient revenue to sup
port properly their public schools
and other institutions, but Texas is
miserable because she has more
money in her permanent school
fund than she knows what to do
with, and how to invest it to advan-
tage is matter which is now receiv-
ing considerable attention. One
suggestion is to invest q portion OF
the money in sugar lands in the
southern counties of the state and
have them cultivated by convicts,
but this plan does not meet with
general approval. Happy must be
the state that has to stay awake OF
nights to discover some way to make
room for the money which is steadi-
ly pouring into her treasury.
