BEGIN THE DAY WITH GOD.

One hour of the morning is commonly
worth two hours of the evening. A man OF
average duration of life sees about ten thou
sand mornings in the course Of his existence.
He begins ten thousand days; and as the
after-conduct of the day depends upon a
right start, it is vitaliY important to begin
each day with God. Morning piety hns
much to do with the whole current Of ones
everyday religion.
ber should turn heavenward. "In the
morning will direct my prayer unto thee,
and will look up" exclaimed the devout
Psalmist. He begins the day unwisely who
leaves his chamber without secret con-
ference with Christ, on whom he is to de-
send for strength. The true Christian goes
into his closet for his armor; he knows not
what sudden assaults of temptation may be
before him, so he puts on his panoply.
He needs bis spiritual "rations" also for the
davis march. AS the Oriental traveller sets
out for his sutry journey h 0Ts5 ssme the sSads ~th
food under the palm tree, and by
filling his water jars from the
cool fountain at its roots, so doth the Chris
tian wavfarer draw his early supplies from
the uneyhausted spring. Morning Is the
golden hour for devotion. The mind is
fresh. The mercies of the night provokes to
gratitude. A buoyant heart that IS IN love
With God makes its earliest flight, like the
lark, towards the gates Of heaven. Thank.
fulness, dependence, faith and humility all
prompt to enrly and tender interviews with
him who waits on his throne for our morn
ing orisons. We all recall Bunyan's beauti-
full description of his piler m. who ''awoke
and sang" in that chamber Of peace"
which looked towards the sun.ris 'nS. II
the Egyptian Memnon made music when
the first rays Of light kinded OIL his tiinty
brow, living Christian heart should not be
mute when God causes the outgoing of bis
mornings to rejoice, =, ,...
No pressure Of household duties or OF
business should crowd out prayer. An emf
nent Christian merchant told me that it was
his rule to get good quiet half-hour in his
chamber on his knees and over bis Bible be-
fore he met his family; and then he went
into his busincss-as Moses came down
from the Mount-wth his face shining. Or.
Arnold: Of Rugby had a favorite morning
hymn which opens with these stirring lines:
Come, my soul, thou must be waking;
Now Is breaking
Der the earth another day.
Come to him who made this splendor;
See thou render
All thy feeble powers can pay"

RELIGIOUS READING.
THE SIN OF OMISSION.

lie DIN VI OMioolONs
1t isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives you bit Of heartache
Att setting of the sun;
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of the brothers way;
The bit Of beartstOne counsel
You were hurried too much to say;
The loving touch Of the hand, dear,
The gentle and winsome tone
That you had no time or thought for
With troubles enough ofyour own.
These little acts of kindness
So easily out of mind.
These chances to be angels
Which even mortals find
They come in night and silence,
Each child reproachful wrath,
When hope is faint and tagging
And blight has dropped on faith.
For life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all TOO great,
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late;
And it's not the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you the bitter heartache
At the settir g of the sun.

Stars and Stripes "Farthest North.

Lieutenant D. L. Blainerd, who &C.
companied the Greedy expedition to the
Arctic regions. has an article in Scribnet
ON "The Attain ment of the Highest
North" from which we make this ex-
tract:
But finally and exhausted we reached
the cape at II: :35 A. NJ, May 1S. Our
provisions were nearly exhausted, and
we knew that our feet pressed a more
northerly land than had ever before been
touched by the foot of man; indeed,
more northern land than was even sup
posed to exist.
Realizing that this was indeed the
"Farthest North" we unfurled the flag
of our country, the glorious Stars and
Stripes, with feeling of pride and ex-
ultation impossible to describe. Lieu
tenant Lockwood and I seized each
others hands again and again for very
joy, and hugged the Eskimo Thorlip,
who, gaping at us. wondered what it all
meant. Tie physical hardship from
many days travel through heavy gales
and binding snow, over Jagged ruoDle
ice and across dangerous tracks, was all
behind US, and the mental strain which
marked our grouping journey along an
unknown rugged coast, showing itself to
US only in momentary glimrses, had also
passed. Could it be wondered that our
spirits rose to point beyond the power
OF words9 Again and again we looked
about us, so rs to fully realize that the
coveted honor had been WOE by our lit
tie party. Was it tpossible that we had
indeed surpassed all their efforts, the ef-
forts of all our English brothers who for
three hundred years, by dint of energy,
courage aud perseverance, had held the
supremacy of the 'Farthest North2"

THE STATUE.

The statue is in the form Of cyliniric
shaft, measuring seventy-six feeHfrom base
to the apex Of the heroic figure Of Columbus
at the top. Four steps form the base with
q pedestal OF ornamental design in half re-
lief sustaining figures OF the genius o. dis
covery. The figure Of the discovsrsr at the
top Of the column represents him in reasc-
tive mood, attired in the garb Of mariner.
The statue is in parts and packed in los
separate cases, and forms the entire cargo
OF the little transport. Some Of tho sections
are very small, whls others are quite pom
derous. the largest weighing about twenty
five tons. 1t will take about one week to
discharge the entire cargo from the hold Of
the vessel.
The statue was entered free Of duty at the
Custom House under the law providing for

permission to unload awaited the arrival Of
the Gargiliano at her dock.
The transport is commanded by Chsvalier
c. J. Ruggero, and among the officers Of the
vessel is Manlio Garibaldi. who holds the
Office of Commander of Marines. 1t was
intended that demonstrations in honor of
the descendant Of the Italian hero should be
made, but the Young man modestly de-
clined the honorS offered, his modesty and
notions Of rank forbidding him.
That he will be banqustei and lionizei
informally, however, is evident from the
shake the young officer by the hand and
afterward followed him up to Broadway
when he left the vessel for tour on shore.
After her cargo has been un!oaded the
Italian transport wilt drop dowc to an
anchorage below Liberty Island, where it is
expected that she will remain until after

DRUNKEN WOMEN IN ENGLAND.

There is marked increase In drunkenness
among women in England. DR.. Norman
Kerr, President Of the Society for the Study
of Inebriety, declares that never within his
recollection had he seen 30 many drunken
women about the streets Of London as dur
ing the Whitsuntide holidays. BE had fire..
ouently seen groups Of four or five, some
Quite young, all in a more or less intoxicated
condition. One Of the coroners Of London
asserts that he has held Of late an increas-
ingly large number OF tnquests upon women,
many comparatively young, whose deaths
were clearly due to alchoiic excess. A med
icai committee is now sitting In London to
devise more effectual means Of dealing with
drunkards than treating them as criminals.
Sending them repeatedly to prison has no
reformatory effect. A case Is cited OF wo-
man who recently died In MARY Aone work
house, at the age of forty-eight, who had
been convicted Of drunkenness 200 times.
It is proposed to put chronic cases under
compulsory detention, and to treat drunk-
enness as disease rather than a vice. Spec
iaI provision will be made for those who
are not able to pay for treatment and maiu-
tonance.-Picayune.

THE ALCOHOLIC DANGER.

Alcohol Is in an emergency, q conspicuous
factor Of danger to the individual and to the
community. A recent significant recog-
milton of this fact occurred at Homestead,
Penn, at the critical juncture Of the contest
between the Pinkerton men and the strikers.
The local officials were confeesedly power
less to control, and for the time being the
affairs Of Homestead were under the direc-
ton OF the leaders Of the great strike. Thou
sands Of workmen were unemployed and
under great excitement. Deadly shots were
fired by the contestants on both sides. Dur
ing this great emergency, we are told, the
saloons were ordered closed. When the
military assumed command, and the imme-
diate danger of conflict was lessened, the
saloon surveillance was relaxed and the
usual drinking of intoxicants began again.
The experience of our own and other
countries in cholera visitations OF former
years, has demonstrated conc!usively that
those who use Intoxicating beverages are
much more predisposei than abstainers to
cholera infection, and that it is much more
likely to prove fatal IN such cases. It Is true
that we are separated from the present
cholera-stricxen districts by thousands Of
miles of water, but between the French
ports and our own there are continuous fer
ries, and they compass the distance. inter
changing passengers and their effects In q
single week: AS ia grippe" developed in
all countries, so also may the cholera. The
prudent thing to do Is to avoid the con-
ditions whica invite 1t. One OF these con-
ditions is alcoholic poisoning.
1t ought not to be necessary to suggest to
thoughtful, intelligent people at least, that
anything which, in great emergency, as at
Homestead, must be prohibited as matter
of public safety, or specially avoided, from
prudential considerations as In the cholera
epidemic, ought not to be used at all for
beverage purposes. Neither ought the State

ing, for beverage use at any time, Of such
