and may well be leftto the discretion
of the city government, Another
grave objection to this ordinance is
that the Salem Street Railway COM
pauy has never surrendered to the
city the franchise granted to 1t, and
until that is done it would not be
advisable to pass this ordnance even
if there were no other valid ohjec-
tions which have been suggested.
The council heretofore has not
been as careful as it should in grant
ing away rights that ought to be
more vigilently guarded. The fran
chise granted in the past have not
been strictly complied with. Our
streets have been torn up and rem
dered almost impossible and rail-
way companies have not been wor-
ried in the least by the public being
deprived of the proper use of them.
Our street railways have not been
constructed in accordance with the
spirit Of the franchises which have
been granted. The companies have
failed 10 lay the tracks 80 that they
could be crossed at any point on the
street. These privileges are impor-
tant and very great and the city
should not give the exclusive use OF
the streets to any individual or COM
pany. The city should reserve the
right to regulate and control all
street railways at any time that 1t
should be deemed best for the city
to do so. An ordinance of this kind
should not he drawn purely In the
interests of the railway company,
but should be scrutiniz,d d to see that
the interests of the city and its in
habitants are not endangered by it.
For the reasons above mentioned
and in order to subserve the best in
terests of all and reserve the streets
for the purposes dedicated, deem
it duty 1 owe to the people of the
city to veto this ordinance.
On motion of Alderman Mooreg
consideration of the vetoes was con
tin ed until the next meeting.

ers. The world is willing it should BIO
so, and then critically watches them.
But at bottom reputation is very unim-
portant. 1t is merely what men think
OF us. And they may be mistaken or
prejudiced, or may Indignantly and
selfishly wish to damage us. Men are
frequently sinned against in the speech
and thought Of the people. Reputation
is OF little account as compared
with character. Reputation concerns
only the name we get, while
character is what we really are, what
God knows us to be. Character deter.
mines the expression and the outcome
OF life. 1t is not the outcome, the ex-
preston, which is damaging and de-
structive to us, but, rather. what
dwells within to come out or to be ex-
pressed. 1t is not the vile word or the
passionate act which ruins, but the
residence of the evil within. The
heart first and the action second should
be our care. 1t is only because TIE
evil thought, murder, adulteries, forBi-
cations, thefts, false witnessings,
blasphemies dwell within that they
rush out OF the open lips and material
ize in action. Keep them within and
kill them there, so will they not ruin
others, nor ourselves.-Christian In

Helpful and Surprising Lessons That May
BE Learned from Them.
Have you ever thought that much OF
the useful work Of the world is done by
people comparatively invalids?. Rioh-
ard Baxter, by reason Of his diseases,
all his days sitting in the door OF his
tomb, yet writing more than hundred
volumes and sending out an influence
for God that will endure as long as the
Saints Everlasting Rest" Edward
Payson, never knowing we'll day, yet
how he preached, and how he wrote,
helping thousands of souls like himself
ITO swim in sea of gloryw And
Robert MeCheyne, walking skele-
ton, yet you know what he did in
Dundee, and how he shook Scotland
with zeal for God. Philip Doddridge,
advised by his friends, because of his
illness, not to enter the ministry, yet
you know what he did for the Rise
and Progress of Religion" in the church
and in the world. Wilberforce was told
by his doctors that he could not live q
fortnight, yet at that very time enter
ing npon philanthropic enterprises that
demanded the greatest endurance and
persistence. Robert Hall, suffering ex-
cruciations so that often in his pulpit
while preaching he would stop and lie
down on a sofa, then getting up again
to preach about Heaven until the glories
of the Celestial City dropped on the
multitude, doing more work, perhaps,
than almost any well man in his day

Pertinent THOUGHTS.

If the woman who gave the two
mites had kept back one of them we
should never have heard Of her.
When a man is full of the Holy
Ghost it empties him of everything else.
"A man may be different man al
together from what his neighbors think
he is.
-When'God runs the cup over He al
ways has somebody near enough to
catch the overflow.
There is always trouble in mans
religion when his head outgrows his
heart.
. Sometimes you can tell when man
begins to backslide BY his breath.
1t is sometimes very hard to enjoy
the religion of others.
The only free people are those who
have heen made free by Jesus Christ
No matter what it's profession may
be, the love that halts and turns back
when it sees danger ceming is sham.
You do not love your neigh Dor as
yourself until you become as anxious
that his soul shall be saved as that
your own shall be.
When God wants to show His
thoughts He works in matter, making
worlds and systems; but when He
wants to show His heart He works in
the souls of men.
No man will say with his whole
heart: my brother" to any man on
earth until he has first said from the
depths of a grateful soul: Our Fatherr'
to the God of Heaven.
The man Who thinks that joining
the church is all that he needs to take
him to Heaven might learn something

DEPENDENCE UPON OTHERS.

1t Requires Contact with Our Fellow-Men
to Show Us What We Really Are.
1t takes contact with other people to
make us acquainted with ourselves.
There are millions Of melodies and dis
cords in every piano, but not one of
them will come out until the keys are
touched, and it is the same with every
human life. Thousands Of people live
and die without getting much acquaint-
ed with themselves. They know that
they are thus and so up to certain
point, simply because they have been
tried and tested so far, but beyond that
all is uncertain because unknown. The
fact is, no man knows anything about
himself any farther than he has been
tried. Without Eve to lead him into
temptation, it is possible that Adam
might have remained in paradise.
Without wine, Noah would have lived
a sober life. Had David never seen
Bathsheba he might have lived and
died without any stain upon his name,
and yet the spirit of murder was in his
heart all the time, only waiting for a
chance to manifest itself, just ~ pow
der is always powder, but never arises
like an angry giant, to kill and destroy
without mercy until it comes in contact
with fire. 1t takes the fle to tell the
powder what it is, and so it takes con-
tact with other people to make us ac-
quainted with ourselves. 1t takes the
sun and every star in the heavens to
make an acorn grow and become an
oak, and it takes God and all men to
bring out Of us all that there is within
us. 1t is for this reason that man is
too small for. time, and needs eternity
to give him room to stretch his limbs.

FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
THE RUpDER AND THE WILL.


OF what are you thinking, my little lad, with
the honest eyes of blue.
As You watch the vessels that slowly glide
DER the level ocean floors
Beautiful graceful, silent as dreams, they pass
away from our view,
And down the slope Of the world they go, to
seek some far of shore.
They seem to be scattered abroad by chance, to
move at the breezes' will,
Aimlessly wandering hither and yon, and
melting in distance gray;
But each one moves to a purpose firm, and the
wind their sails that fill
Like faithful servants speed them all ON their
appointed way
For each has q rudder, my dear little Lad, with Q
stanch man at the wheel,
And the rudder is never left to itself, but the
will Of the man is there;
There is never moment day or night that the
vessel does not feel
The force of the purpose that shapes her course
and the helmsman's watchful care.
Some day you will launch your ship, my boy,
on life's wide, treacherous sea-
Be sure your rudder is wrought of strength to
stand the stress Of the gale,
And your hand ON the wheel, don't let II finch,
whatever the tummult be,
For the viii Of man, with the help Of God.
shall conquer and prevail.

How an Energetic Boy, Who Could DO
Most Anything. Found Work.
Merchants, of all men, appreciate
qualities which bring success-tact,
energy, courage, industry, quickness,
and readiness in suiting means to
ends. An exchange prints story,
which may be new or old. truth or
fiction, but which is not incredible in
itself, while it illustrates in a striking
way the spirit and method of born
man of business. A country boy went
to New York, with no friends and little
money, determined to make his way in
the world. In the course of his looking
about he wandered into slower Wall
street." and walked into the store Of
W & Co. Mr.. W was busy and
the boy waited. At last the frank,
bright face of the stranger attracted
the merchants attention.
"Well, my boy" said he; what can I
do for you?"
81 want place, sir"
"What can you do?"
The boy answered, eagerly:
"Most anything, sir"
Partly in joke, perhaps, and partly
to rid himself of an almost too confident
applicant, Mr.. W said.
"Ah, all! Well, just go out and bor-
row me couple of thousand dollars -"
The lad put on his hat, walked out
of the store, and passed slowly down
Front street till he came to another
large store in the same line of bust
ness. This Arm was probably we'll &C.
quainted with W & Co., the boy
said to himself, and with a bold but
honest look he walked in and accosted
the man who seemed to DO the head of
the concern.
'Mr. W, of W & Co., sent me
down to borrow two thousand dollars, +"
said he.s
He did, my son? How is business
up at your placer"
The boy, who had seen an appear
ance of large shipments. answered
promptly:

said the man to his cashier.
A few minutes later the boy walked
into Mr.. VS. Office and handed him
the check.
Here it is, SIR" said he, with an air
OF having. done an errand in the ordi.

Mr. W looked at the check and
then at the boy.

Let the Concern BE to Be Right Rather

A jealous care for reputation is de-
sirable and is commendable in all per-
sons, especially in those who stand as
representatives of good and important
causes, such as legislators, rulers,
judges, instructors, reformers. No
class Of men have higher need or higher
motive 70 secure and preserve good
name than Christians, and most of all
teachers and ministers of religion. The
outside world will judge Christianity by
the practical work it does as seen in it's
professors, rather than by its philoso-
plies. What kind of work does Christi
aaity turn oute That Will for many
settle the question The reputation Of
