Gleanings.
TO love is life, to hate is death.

IL lOFC 10 lllC, W lldUc 10 UcdUu.
The passions are life giving servants
but death-dealing masters.
Doing good, doing right, will ward
off disease and lengthen life.
Pleasure never produced happiness,
but always reaction followed by sad
ness.
Man cannot know what it is to be
truly good until he has seen evil, for
we must taste of the tree of good and
evil before we can choose the fruit from
the tree of life.
The gates of Heaven are closed
against those who seek to save their own
lives and care not whether others have
lives to save or not.
The human passions uncontrolled are
the hOt-bed of our miseries. and lead us
to despair.
We know nothing we have not lived.
What we live is of the soul, what we
learn is of the intellect.
Take yesterday and the past, but
leave to me to-day and the future.
The more we fret about troubles the
larger they appear.
Life is what we make it, and if we
rise above trouble there can be no trOu-
BILE for us.
Patience is the fruit of trials and
tribulatiOnS, hence they are not an
unmiXed evil.
So long as man seeks pleasure he will
never find happiness. The one never
leads to the other they are opposite
and cannot meet.
If man would study the animal world
and take from each their virtues, he
would indeed be perfect.
The truth never apologies, never Of
fers an excuse, never begs your pardon
for anything, never wrongs another.
Reading makes the full man, writing
the exact man, conversation the ready
man.
The borrower sells his independence
and becomes the servant of the lender.
TO read is to reach for the creation
of other minds, to write is to create.
Man can rise above being made to
suffer mentally by anything another
might say or do.
Life is success in proportion to the
happiness we create; pleasure is curse,
for it never comes without a sting in
it's reaction.
\ man cannot believe in others until
he believes in himself: for his cOnvic-
ton of the equal worth of his fellows
must be filled by the overflow of his
conviction of his own worth.
We think we are Judging men and
things, when in reality we are only stat
ing the condition of our own mind at
the time.
Truth is many-Sided. and we are so
constituted that we can see clearly but
one side at a time. This should make
us tolerant and charitable toward those
whose opinions differ from ours.
The world must be often tried and
thoroughly known before we can pre-
tend to judge of the motives around us.
Life is too short to nurse ones mis-
cry. Hurry across the lOwlands that
you spend more time on the mountain
tops.
DO not hurt the feelings of others by
saying sharp sarcastic things -Sener,
in Prison T,usty

was founded in 1887 by the cOnvctS and is edited
and managed by them. It's objects are: to be a
home newspaper to encourage moral and intel
Iectual improvement among the prisoners; to
acquant the public with the true status of the
prisoner; to disseminate pathological infOrma-
ton, and to aid in dispelling that prejudice
which has ever been the bar sinister to a fallen
mans self-redemptiOn. The paper is entirely
dependent on the public for its financial sup
port. If at any time there should accrue a sur
plus of funds the money would be expended in
the interests of the prison library.

The BRIGGS TRIAL.

Rev. DIR. Lampe Begins the Reply OF
the Proseeutfon-The Precedents
Cited by Defendant Are Admitted
to be Valuable Opinions, But of no
Authority.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.-In the Briggs
heresy trial to-day Rev. Joseph ]. Lsmpe
began the reply of the prosecution. he
said that the Presbyterian church did not
seek to compel any man to accept its doc
trines, but when a man assumed an obliga-
to that church the church had the right
to say whether he fulfilled faithfully his
obligations. 1t was claimed that DR.. Briggs
was one of the greatest of biblical
scholars. but SO long as he remained
member of the church he was subject to
the criticism and officers of that church.
DIR. Briggs method of determining wheth-
er or not any doctrines are essential were
ingenius, but they must be regarded as
suggestions until he can induce the church
to revise the standards 80 as to accept
| them. The word essential was not
| brought into use In connection with the
standards of the church when they were
| adopted in 1888. The presidents cited by
Dr. Briggs were valuable opinions, but
| were NO authority for the church now.
DIR. Briggs position welcoming rational
lists to the household of the faithful, snd
according to which Martineau is as good I
Christian as Spurgeon. is at variance with
| Presbyterian faith and life. DR.. Lamps
said that DR.. Briggs made no attempt Il
answer the third charge, accusing him o
teaching that there are errors u
the original text of the holy script
ures. In his claim that the script
ures CONTAIN" the word of God, DR.
Briggs was in antsgonism to the principl
taught In the confession that the scripture
care" the word of God. The ststemen
made by DR.. Briggs that the divine author
ity was not in the words, but in the con
cept, oontradicted the doctrine set forth Il
the Presbyterian standard that makes Go
to be the author of the written word. Di
Lampe will conclude tomorrow.

RICH PLACER DIGGINGs.

Reported Discovery OF Sixty Miles of
Placer COMMUNICATIONS Impair
alleIed.
DURANGO, Col Dec. 20.-The city has
gone crazy over the reported discovery of
rich placer diggings $50 miles from thiu
point in southern Utah, where the San
Juan river empties into the Colorado. The
excitement is unparalleled since the days
of 40. Many towns are almost depopulat-
ed and q Thousand men are already at the
scene. The plscers- were discovered less
than year ago by Navajo trader named
Williams he interested eastern capital,
and hydraulic machinery was secretly
shipped to the plaeers under the pretense
that 1t was to be used in developing coal
fields. -r
An old prospeotor who followed the out
fit returned to Winslow and reported that
sixty miles of rich yellow placer grounds
lay 240 miles to the north of Winslow,
which run from q color to So pan. This
started the rush to the new diggings. The
exodus from Durango commenced yester-
day. In Albuquerque, N. NJ, nuggets are
on exhibition ranging in weight from one
| to five ounces of coarse gold.
