ance finally be taken among Heavens
hOnOred hosts. To-day hundreds of
strong approaching minds demand
something more in keeping with the
progress of human intelligence.
"DO as you would be done by" is the
core of Christianity. 1t teaches the
necessity of an unselfish life, in thought
as well as in deed. 1t tells us that we
are responsible for each word, act or
thought, and that by these words, acts
and thoughts we are daily building our
selves periShable or permanent man
siOns. 1t teaches us that we are part of
one supreme system, and that within
ourselves lie undreamed of and super
human powers, that will aid us to any
height or attainment If aCe put OurselUes
IN harmony aDith them. It teaches us
that selfishness is the root of all evil,
and only in subjugation of self can
peace be attained.
The true Christian cares little about
phenomena, and does not boast of his
powers in that direction. His life is
open to the most scrutiniZing inveStiga-
ton, and his influence is inspiring and
comforting. He is power for good,
and delights in giving pleasure and
help. He asks no reward, even in the
form of clean, warm, well-lighted
cell, save his own consciousness of be-
ing an instrument of the powers of
good.
Christ was a perfect Christian, and
each one of his actions was wholly in
league with the forces of beauty, light,
goodness and truth. There is a Christ in
each one of us, and the way to Him is
through ourselves. There is a Trinity
in each one of us, the trinity of Faith,
Hope and Love, and the way to this
trinity is through ourselves.
Through ourselves only leads the
way to the "repose on the heights" Go
onward and you will reach it. We re-
member the words which the immortal
Goethe told us through his Hansel: "In
climbing mountain go onward, al
ways onward, do not look back" Why?
By looking back you will get dizzy.
Do you see the point?
Mr.. Talmage in his last discourse Of
Christopher Columbus said: "While
studying the life of this navigator, 1
am also reminded of the fact, that while
we are diligently looking for one thing
we find another. Columbus started to
find India, but found America. Go on,
60 onward and do your duty diligently
and prayerfully, and if you do not find
what you looked for, you will find
something better LEO.

A Few Remarks.

The last number of THE MIRROR
brought us very sweeping, and, it
seems to my mind, a very hasty ex-
PLANTATION concerning the cause of crime.
The contributor, who signs himself
Cosmos said that "the greater part
of crime to-day is the result of the un-
just treatment of criminals in the past"
Even now most all criminals in con-
finement regard their punishment un-
just. Hence the natural inference Of
Cosmos assertion would be that the
punishment of criminals creates crime;
and that if crime were left unpunished
the greater part would soon cease. AS
[ said before, / think the reason rather
haSty one. Crime and criminals are not
created in the court houses, by far not
The true causes of crime has been dis
cussed almost threadbare, one of which
is Individual idleness, which 1 consider
the chief cause at the present time.
This leads people to saloons, gambling
dens, poOlrOOms, and other places where
you will find the cradle of crime.
Crime would decrease considerably if
certain laws were enforced, which now
are as dead letter on the statute
books. do not think crime will cease
altogether, but it can be lessened to
minimum by removing various causes;
and as long as there is crime it should
be punished, but treat the criminal with
due consideration for his own benefit.
l always thought that the world was
growing better, but if the greater part
of crime to-day is the result of the
severe punishment of criminals in the
past begin to have serious doubts:

Moral Swindlers.

Can person be swindler and
moral man at the same time? In the
eyes of the world he can. Take Mr..
Allspice of the firm of MesSrs. Allspice,
Adulterated & Co. for instance. He
attends church regularly, joins in the
anthems and responses with the great
est sincerity, his name appears in large
letters on subscription lists, he is
model man and spends his evenings in
the bosom of his family-therefOre, he
is moral man. Nearly every article
sold by Messrs. Allspice & Co., from
the sugar to the pepper, is adulterated,
and in great many cases represents
them to be perfectly pure, for all that
they are considered first-class firm
and the members are all moral men.
read statement made by prOmi-
nent man, that there was not gallon
of pure mOlasses for sale in the New
Orleans market. / also read of firm
in the East who salted dead horses and
sold it for prime cOrn-beef. You can
buy an call wool" suit at any store, and
after wearing it find it to be half cot

and consider you have got bargain

lie so imposed upon. The good wages
earned by Americans are counterbal-
anced by adulterated food, and inferior
and dear clothes. VIRGINIA LEAF.

Politics! Politics!

The streets and public squares re-
sound with flaming and fiery denuncia-
ton of this party or the other; the
banking house, the merchants desk,
the club rooms, and all places of resort
where men gather, TEEN with partisans
who eagerly discuss the merits and de-
merits of this or that candidate, and
argue and wager on their chances of
election. If one could take wings and
mount in air above one of the monster
open-air political rallies of to-day, what
strange, weird sight would unfold be-
fore his vision. The flaming flambeau
(the odor would be grewsome), the
brilliant arc or incandescent light flood
ing the scene with MONDAY radiance,
the excited gesticulatiOns of the orator,
the earnest gaze of the thousands of
uplifted faces, the changes of express
sion on those faces as the demagOgue
makes a telling hit; and then the vocif
hands, and torches as he finishes his
times diScOrdant strains of the cam
paign band; and then the excited noisy
thrOng meltS slowly away, no one knows
where, the torches glinting and spark
ling down street and lane like frefies
in June, and soon the busy scene of a
few moments before becomes silent and
dOubly SOmbre in contrast
Here and there yet fingers a group;
some in fierce, animated discussion,
others quietly and earnestly talking of
this mans chances, or that mans re-
cord. And all this every four years.
One month and part of another devoted
to late hours, swollen heads, and some
times alas! to wine-bibbling in earnest.
Surely every eight years would be often
enough for this impediment to business
and social economy. Almost every
president, at least of late years, has
sought and obtained second nOmina-
tiOn at the hands of his party. That
surely must be great honey that the
presidential bee instills in each presi-
Dental bonnet. 1t really whets their
appetite for more, and it has become
the sine qua NON of a president to look
and lay his plans for a second term.
Why not give it him at once? Let us
have six or eight years as the maximum
term and ineligibility thereafter. Give
some other good man chance, so that
when we tell our boys that every good
and honest citizen can, by application
and industry and worth, aspire to the
presidency, he cannot innOcently and
pertmentl} remark that the chances
will not 60 around if one man gets two
or three terms. WAYNE.

NV Answer.

am glad to notice that the question,
if the world improves or not, still oc-
cupies our minds within the walls of
our little common possession. In last
weeks issue of THE MIRROR 1 found
another answer signed "Cosmos," based
on contrast between the past and the
present. Such basis is solid, as we
have no better way of Judging the fut-
ure than by the past. 1 may not agree
with his answer; but as long as the
writer places principles above men, I
am bound to respect his opinion. The
writer tried to prove that the world is
growing better, and, though his dis
course was an exhaustive effort, he did
not appear this time to his usual ad-
vantage He fortified his position by
giving us the following sentence:
evidence that the world is getting
better is furnished by the simple fact
of my sitting in clean, warm, we'll
lighted cell, and be allowed to commit
these few thoughts to paper" Above
words as the quintessence of his opinion
are proving only that is so much easier
always to criticise than to do better.
The clean, warm, well-lighted cell
proves mild, human and merciful ad-
ministration; it proves that the admin
istration is doing it's best to elevate the
condition of the convict. This is true:
no question about it, But what proves
the cOnvict's presence in the cell that's
the question.
If goodness is beauty, it does not fol-
low that beauty must be goodness.
The vice versa is not always the natural
inference of a given thought. If the
administration furnishes the convict
with a clean and comfortable cell, it
does not follow that the convict is an
honest man or deserves such a treat
ment. His presence in cell proves
that he committed a crime, that vice
and crime are still existing, and that as
long as the number of prisoners is in
creasing it proves that the world is not
growing better.
The author of the discourse says fur
ther, that in the closing sentences of
my article, / covertly attacked the
principles and ethics of Christianity.
| read and re-read the sentences alluded
to, but for the life of me could not find
single phrase to justify such a charge.
All [ said was in strict accord with
what Christianity is at the core; and
when 1 pointed out the fact that Chris
tianity, like many other religions, has
grown away from the core to rind Of
creeds and dogmas, it does not follow
at all that 1 attacked its principles.
Fifty years ago only an occasional soul
was brave enough to question the eff
cacy of vicariOus atonement, and to
doubt that it could by sudden repent

A Prophecy.

Not long ago being deeply interested
in the perusal of the articles in THE
MIRROR, discussing the proofs pro and
con, as to whether the world was grow
ing better or worse, 1 suddenly became
aware of the presence of two spirits in
my apartment, each carrying large
book in which were written the future
history of the world. The inspiring
and soothing influence of these super
natural beings put me at my ease, and
the feelings of fear Immediately van
ished and l began holding converse
with them. Said the one, who seemed
to be the spokesman of the party, "We
have here in this large book a chapter
which we have decided to let you read
because, first, it is of vital Importance
to you who wear the stripes of punish
ment for violated law, and second, it
will solve the great problem which
some of your writers here are wrestling
with. We have selected you to bear
this information to your fellOwmen
simply because we knew you would be
the most sure to tell it, for we are aware
of your habit of telling everything you
know or hear, and sometimes even
more" I thanked him for the compli-
ment, after which he read to me the
chapter referred to, and which / now
relate as near as l can remember. Said
he, II am the Angel of Destiny, and
my friend here is the Angel of Mercy.

destinies of your land, and the ad-
vancement of your nation. Our edicts
and laws for the future have been gov
erned by experience of the past, the
same as yours. In the year 1900 we
have decided to commence the revOlu-
tionizing of the entire land. In your
country women will receive the right
of suffrage; Victoria G. Woodruff will
be elected president of the United
States, and the existing evils of intem-
have her first consideration. Economic
questions such as the tariff, the cur
rency, ETC., will give place to questions
of social reform. Liquor will forever
be banished from your land, and the
capital now used in it's manufacture
will be turned into vast enterprises for
the betterment of society. Political
corruption shall be unknown, and the
capitalists will share his profits with
labor in ratio proportionate as arbi-
tratiOn shall decide. MOnOpOlies, trusts,
and combines, shall be punishable as a
crime. The Golden Rule shall be the
law of the land. Tramps will all 60 to

mitted to all the trades and profess
sions, and on an equality with men at

SOME DAY.


Some day, we say, and turn our eyes
Toward the hills of Paradise.
Some day. some time, a sense of rest
Shall fall upon our weary breast.
Some day our journey shall be DER,
And sorrow cease fOrevermOre.
Some day our feet shall tread the strand
Of Gods eternal Morning Land.
Some day our eyes shall see. again,
Those whom we parted with in pain.
Some day our ears shall hear the song
OF triumph over sin and wrong.
Some day. some time, but, oh! not now;
The years of time are long and slow.
But some day all these things shall be,
And rest shall come to you and me.
So wait, my friend, for by and by
Shall come the time for which we sigh.
