For The Mirror
New Years Hints.
Eternal history should be made carefully.
Every temptation that is not resisted is
sure to be repeated.
God can turn all stumbling blocks into
stepping stones. if we but let Him.
Make the object of life right and the lit
tie details will take care of themselves.
The past should have no influence over
us. only as it serves to make us stronger.
The real hero is the man who does his
best and signally fails, yet is not embittered
by the failure.
Reach up through the darkness as far as
you can. and God will reach down all the
rest of the way.
Live one day at time. making the most
of that day. To mOrrOw's strength will
come with to- mOrrOw's dawn.
In your temptations go to the promises of
our Father. They are the branches He has
hung over the water that His half drowned
children grasp them and keep themselves
from sinking.
Build on resolve and not upon regret
The structure of thy future. Waste no tears
Upon the botted record of lost years.
But turn the leaf and SMILE oh smile, to see
The fair white pages that remain for thee.

GERMAN LITERATURE.
(Report for Glass A bye. w. K.)

\AsSPOAS NAe@oo "A
My report will begin with the poet wieland-
A. d. 1888 to 1913. This writer. though of the
most celebrated writer's in Germany, is one Of the
least celebrated among English speakers and
writer's. for the reason that wieland belongs to a
class of writer's whom the world in its progress has
left behind. His works have become Anticipated.
for with him the old era closed; and with Herder.
of whom shall next speak. the new era in litera-
ture opened. Wieland was one of the most brill
liant men of letters which Germany ever pro.
duced. Totally unlike Klopstock and Leasing who
preceded him he was in many respects for Ger
many what Voltaire was for France. His works
works remarkable for their lightness live
illness, clearness and grace beyond any other Ger
mans of his time His masterpiece was "Oberon,"
an epic poem of great merit-not the highly drawn
epic of Milton, but more after the epic style of
Homer. OF his prose writings none have resisted
the anticipating influences of time. but on the
whole his writings stand out in bold relief when
compared with those Of the poets who preceded
or we're contemporary with him.
Next we come to Herder who the pioneer of
a new era in German literature. Herder was man
who had to struggle through the most adverse cir
cumstances Of poverty and hardship in his youth
to satisfy his thirst for knowledge, but at length
he became one of the most noted and famous
preachers of Germany and was also one of tie
most brilliant of prose writer's. Probably his best
work his PHILOSOPHY of History which
though very elaborate most thorough and
comprehensive in its scope, and shows great depth
of thought in all his researches.
One characteristic of the German authors is
this they noted for the depth and breadth Of
their study in all the occult sciences and especi
ally in philosophy. They have been and are to-
day the thinkers of the world, the leaders in sci
ence and philosophy.
Next we come to Richter. "the great and only
or as he is Familiarity known. Jean Paul. who is
novelist in every sense of the word and senti
mentalist-but a sentimentalist of a robust ant
virile type. Among his best works we have Hes
perus." 1.-THE Invisible LODGE" and Titan

THE CHAUTAUQUA MEETING.

THE CHAUTAUQUA MEETING.
The fortnighty meeting of the Chautauqua Cir
Gle was held in the chapel of this institution on
Sunday last and in every respect up to the
standard of previous gatherings. Out of the full
class of forty eight members there were but three
absentees with cause. which speaks volumes for
the great interest and perseverance of the circle
in general. The special paper on Thought" read
by a representative Of class c, was highly praised
by the Rev. Critic for its perfect naturalness and
honesty. The membership books for the current
year were distributed and all appeal made to the
members to set about answering the questions at
once, that they may be all returned to the head
Office on as early date after the first of July next
possible.
A cloud was cast on the clear sky of the meeting
by the announcement of the serious illness Of
Mrs. S. NJ l. Henry general prison secretary of the
C. L. s. c., of which the members very sorry
to learn. and they and all hope that ere these
lines meet the public gaze she may be fully re-
stored to health.
The members are to be congratulated on the
manner they have taken hold. which bids fair to
equal if it does not excel the best efforts of the
older ones. The programme for the next meeting
which is to be of miscellaneous character, was
prepared and it need only be said that any men,
Der who will be absent on the occasion will miss

There will be many more interesting pieces which

enjoyable and instructive meeting. 1t is to be

American Justice.

A dispatch from city in far Western
State tells of a man who was sentenced to
prison for five years. having had his sem
tence committed to four years. The man
was convicted on circumstantial evidence.
The prosecuting attorney, his assistant. the
prosecuting witness. seven of the jury who
tried the case and nearly all the county Of
fcers petitioned for the mans pardon as
there had always been doubt of his guilt!
But why was he imprisoned at all if there
had always been doubt of his guilt? lis
this fair sample of American justice-a
man sent to prison for five years on sus-
picion of guilt! And yet in the face of this
shameful fact and the petition of the law

from his sentence. If there is any depart
ment of the State and National Government

ANIMAL INSTINCT,

My father ono day bought two young
pigs from Il man who lived two or three
miles distant on the oppo3itc side of
one OF our great rivcr.', says Il writer in
Wide Awake. The pigs were caught,
tied up in two Sacks, and put into my
fathers wagon, which was then driven
a long, roundabout way, in order 10

made in every direction. cnd 1T last

soft, wet sand by the river side. Could
they have SWAN GcrCSs? What! those

MATRIMONIAL NOTICES.

0ucer Things in tho "CourtshIp Corncr'' OF
Scotch journal.
This is the name given to an adver-
tislng department in some of the Scotch
newspapers, answering to the ''Pcrson-
al" column in some of our American
journals, says the New York Ledger.
In Justice to "Cannic Scotland'' we
must say that its "Courtship Corners"
arc not occupied by notices which are
at all cquivocal. The, Calcdonians in
pursuit of love through the press seem
to be in search of &c legitimate article.
Matrimony appears to be their object,
and characteristic desire for dowry is
most unromantically apparent in m any
of the advertisements.
Some OF the announcements are very
funny. For example, three young
ladies, "a3cd respectively sixteen, nine.
teen and twcnty-onc," announce that
they have set their hearts on marrying
"thrcc special constablcs." Why spcciaI
constablcs?- Upon what metaphysical
principle can this pl ciudicc in favor of
tlpsUavcs be explained? LcJ US hope
they have been taken into custody. "a
Tilted young lady, wishes to unite her
self to "a Tilted young gentlcuan''-for
the reason, we suppose, that misery
loves company--and n young lawyer,
"high in position" would be willing to
chain himself for life to Il young lady
with three hundred pounds year.
Advertising being costly, and the
Scotch an economical people, the can
didatcs for ratri1nony in tho Court
ship Corner" appeal in groups to the
scnsibilitics of the unmarried, the c.,-
pcnsc of the notices being divided. share
andsharc alike, among the parties in

Scotland is tolcrably quick, although it

WASHINGTON, July 29.-The
count of the hcme and farm trans
cript has been completed by the
census office. The results are very
nearly correct though the figures
are subject to a slight modification.
There were returned by the enum-
orators for the United States 2, ,491,-
$50 farms and homes occupied by
owners and incumbered by morta-
cages. This number included some
farms and homes about which the
enumerators made no report
and which belong party
to the class of hired
and partly to the class of owned
free, as well as partly to the class
of owned and incumbered. Until
this unknown quantity is eliminat-
ed, it may be regarded as approx
mstely true that two and quarter
million families of the twelve and a
half million families of the United
states o;cupy and owi' ineumbered
farms and homes, and that ten and
quarter million families occupy
farms and homes that are either
hired or owned free-the proprie
tors of hired and owned free will bt
known when the population division
completes the count of the points. Th'
preliminary results indicate that th'
average debt for farm in Iowa
Sl,2S3; home, $719; average for ;
farm and home, S1,14O. If thes
averages hold good for the Union
the incumbrance on the farms am

back Steamer, Charles Wetmore,
died suddenly at Liverpool this
morning. He was found lying dead
in his berth when the officers of the
steamer entered his state room at
an early honr.
The Charles Wetmore was to
have sailed for New York with q
cargo of machinery to-day, but the
departure will now be postponed
until new captain has been APP
pointed. During her stay in Liver
pool the vessel has been visited by
many experts in the art of naval con-
struction, and by thousands of the
merely curious. She was especially
designed to carry large car
goes of freight through the great
lakes and across the Atlantic, thus
doing away with the necessity for
breaking bulk between, Liverpool and
western cities, on the inland seas of
America. Her voyage from Duluth
to Liverpool with a consignment Of
$4,000 bushels of grain was a sue
cessful one, and her officers declared
that in heavy seas the steamer was
much superior to the ordinary
freight boats.
