A senseless Custom.

Z . Il = s - - - '
Why do we still continue toWea1
mourning? The custom is outworn,
it is an anachronisnn in the nine
teenth century. It is unchristian ;
it clouds the spiritual Significance
of the resurrection with the ever
present expression Of temp poral loss.
It is cruel; it forces helpless and
innocent people into action i. which / b
entails a priyation and unnace cessary
suffering. 1t is rlntruthful It
makes false outward show Of
changes in sentiment. And it is
essentially vulgar, for it presses
private affairs upon public notice; !;
.it.thrusts claims Of fashion and
friyolity upon a time which most
greatly moves the heights and
depths of being and it forces :its
superficial worldliness into the
fercest throes which can ever
refine human nature.-Mary E..

Bits of Wisdom.

The only truely brave people are
those who are not afraid of the
truth,
There isn't a man in the world
who is not serving some kind of a
master.
Nothing makes a man bit richie,
that dees not make him more
grateful.
No religion can doyou a bit of
good that does not make you try
to do good to others.
1t seems to take a great deal of
trouble to get some people where
thay can be happy.
A hypocrite always stretches
himselfup a little taller every time
he sees q good man backslide.
It very often happens that the
man who is an iceburg in his
church is a boiling spring in his
politics.
Make it a rule to look upon the
bright side and you will soon find
thatother ls always bright side
to look upon.
The main difference between a
wise man and a fool is that the
wise mans blunders always teach
him something.
People do not weigh much in
heaven who take pigeons to Gods
altar when they ought to so with
full-grown oxen and sheep.
One of the first things the busi-
ness man does who walks in the
counsel of the ungodly is to begin
saving pieces from the end of his
yard stick.
Some of the people who think
the door of heaven ought to be
open wide enough to let in every
body are now among the most
anxious that folks with the cholera
shall be kept out of the country

Do Figures Lie?

Let US see!
Two women had 80 chickens
each, which they took to market.
They agreed to divide equally the
proceeds of their sale.
One sold her chickens 2 for a
dollar, getting for the 80 chickens
$15.
The other sold hers 8 for a dollar,
getting for her 30 chickens $40.
This made $25 realized for the
60chickens.
The merchant called on to divide
the money said:
"You sold your 80 chickens, 2
for a dollar, and you sold your 80
chickens 8 for dollar. That
makes go chickens at the rate of 5
for 2. dollars. Well 5 into go goes
IL times and twice IL is "a. That
makes $24 your chickens have

actually had $25 in pocket. And yet

Third Party Collapse.

The recent elections in the
South have revealed the collapse
of the Third Party there, and in
most Western States it's increasing
weakness has led to fusion with
opponents. Experienced obser-
vers have expected this from the
first. Off-year movements always
result in the same way. 1t was 80
with the Changers in 1882, the
Greenhackers in 1878, the Anti
monopolists in 1882, and the
Labor party in 1886. Strong at
first by reason of local conditions
and grievances and gaining
impetus from the reaction which
every four years follows a hotly
contested Presidential election,
they reveal no powers of endur-
ance when subjected to a test of q
National fight. Such movements
are ephemeral. When they cease
to grow, they die. They. have no
healthy political life.
tits well for the cause of Demo
cracy in the present contest that
this is so, for while the Practical
breakdown of third party move
ments in the Western States is a
source of Disappointment and
regret, it is much more than offset
by the swinging back into the
Democratic column of many
Southern States which were here
fore to considered doubtful, ,and the
regaining of electoral votes which
we're necessary to success. When q
party is entrenched in political
power, and seeks by the most
audacious and unconstitutional
methods to perpetuate its rule, it
can be dislodged only by a union
of all opposition forces, and not
by division, discord and recrimina.

Never spend your money before

Pride costs us more than hunger,

Never trouble another for what

Never put off until tomorrow

How much pain the evils that
