What Was Said at the Convention.
 The 7th annual convention of the Wo- mans Christian Temperance Union of Holland county was held in Stafford Springs May 18th. The delightful day and the presence of large number of W. C.. T, U. officers and workers made the occasion most pleasant. The consecra7 tion meeting, led by Mrs. Jennie T. Miner of Stafford Splings, was full of helpful thoughts.
 At 10 the county president, Mrs. Chap man, gave a greeting full of cheer and helpful hints for work in the future. She said, God is guiding us toward final vic- tory and the efforts of the past*swill not be lost. The mother having burden to carry allows her little child to take hold wish her and lift little, while she car ries most of the burden herself, so God gives us the privilege of working with Him; let every member say,"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" There never was a victory without battle. Fight the battle first in your own heart, allow Christ to fill you and then give to others. Woman's work is everywhere where there is need of woman. She especially urged that white ribboners keep posted, and see that those around them are, that they SOW temperance literature, emphasized by personal appeals, that they see that sci

Miss Lockrow of Meriden gave 8 paper on physical culture. She said God has placed us here to grow like the flowers, to grow broader, to grow to higher intel ligence, to grow to strength to surmount difficulties. Each of our souls may grow into place as near and dear to the Gre ator's as the martyrs. Unlike the flow CTS we can choose our own mode of living. It is a duty, as we'll as privilege, to choose that mode which shall help most to the highest physical development, for sound mind is impossible in an un- sound body. Though the lack may not be apparent it is to be found somewhere. Vitality is precious in the sight of God. Sin is often sickness. You can never train either soul or body alone; soul and body are one. Miss Lockrow advises regular, systematic exercise, with the clothing free and the vital organs in their normal position. Unless & proper posi- tion be kept during exercises they are worse than useless.
 
 for short talk and was received with cheers. She said good birth is the best inheritance one can have, but good train ing and environment can do much. Miss Lockrow is right, half the irritability and Encouragement and cowardice of the hu- man race come from lack of health. She thanks her fathers wisdom for much of thesgood health she enjoys, and says he would never allow her to wear corsets, and always had shoes fashioned for hel which were roomy and warm. Alcohol can do nothing but harm to the human system. The system finds in it nothing but poison, which it must get rid of as soon as it can, and if it be taken in any amount the sys- tenn becomes overtaxed in it's efforts to remove it and collapses. Get rid of the liquor traffic and you get rid of the most pregnant evil of the day.
 The county officers of last year were reelected. The singing by Miss Newton and other ladies was 8 pleasant addition to the afternoon session. At the evening session Mrs. Livermore delivered an ad- dress on the "Perils of the Republic to a good audience.

THE WORLDS PRAYER.

O, Almighty Dollar! our acknowledged governor, preserver and benefactor, we desire to approach thee, on this and ev- cry other occasion, with that reverence which is due superior excellence, and that regard which should ever be cherished for exalted greatness Almighty dollar, with out thee in the world we can do nothing, but with thee we can do all things. When sickness lays its palsying hand upon us thou canst provide for us the tenderest of nurses, the most skillful physicians, and when the last struggle of mortality is over, and we are being borne to the rest ing place of the dead, thou canst provide brass band and a military escort to &C., company us hither, and last, but not least, erect magnificent monument over our grave, with lying epitaph to perpetuate our memories.
 And while here, in the midst of mis- fortune and temptations of this life, we perhaps are accused of crime, and brought before magistrates; thou, almighty dol lar, canst secure to us feed lawyer, bribed judge, a packed jury, and we go scot free.
 Be with us, we pray thee, in all thy decimal parts for we feel that thou art the one altogether lovely and the chiefest among ten thousand.
 We feel there is no true condition in life where thy potent and all powerful charms are not felt. In thy absence how gloomy is the household, and how desc late is the hearthstone; but when thou, almighty dollar, art with us, how glec- fully the beefsteak sings upon the grid iron, how genial the warmth of anthraci e coal or hickory wood diffuses itself throughout the apartments, and what tn exuberance of joy continues to swell every bosom.
 Thou art the joy of our youth and tho solace of old age. Thou canst adorn tho gentleman and thou feedest the jackass. Thou art the favorite of the philosoph,r and the idol of the lunkhead. Where nn election is to be carried, O, almighty dol lar, thou art the most potent argument of politicians and demagogues and the uni- pire that decides the contest Almighty dollar, thou art worshipped the world over. Thou hast no hypocrites in thy temples or false hearts at thy 1 altars. Kings and courtiers bow beforp thee and all nations adore; thou artloved | by the civilized and savage alike with un- feigned and unfaltering affections. O! almighty dollar, in the requirement. and defense of human liberty, thou hast placed armies in the field and navies OH the ocean. At the uplifting of thy pow erful hand their thunders would break and their lightnings flash. Thou hast bound continents together by telegraph cables, and made the varied products of our country available to all by a perfect net of railroads. The forest has been prostrated and the desert made to blossom as the rose.
 We continue to regard thee as the hand maid of religion and the twin sister of charity. When the light of thy shining

There will be no cabinet officer ht the Minneapolis convention. President Har- rison says he does not want renomina- ton which could even to 8 deefee be charged to the influence of federaf ofiee- holders. To that end he has requested every member of his cabinet to remain at his post of official duty during the eszsk vention. Furthermore, he has requested that assistant cabinet officers, United States marshals, district attorneys, col lectors of customs and internal revenue and other federal offlcials, stay away from the convention. The request, or order whichever it may be-has created not a little disappointment in official circles.
