very highest pleasure N
consisting in clear, brisk, conss.oga
working; energy, confidence, and
every other good quality mainly
depending upon it. Sidney Smith,
when laborlng as a parish priest
at Foston-le Clay, in Yorkshire
though he did not feel himself to
be in his proper element-went
cheerfully to work in the firm
determination to do his best. 81
am resolved" he said," to like it,
and reconcile myself to it, which
is more manly then to feign my
self above it, and send up COM
plants by the post of being
thrown away, and being desolate,
and such like trash" So DIR. Hook,
when leaving Leeds for a new
sphere of labor, said, wherever
I may be, I shall, by Gods blessing
do with my might, what my hand
fndeth to do; and if I do not find
work, shall make it, Smiles.
Do you not see that reallvsit is
people of one talent who make the
world go round? The people of one
talent are mostly needed; that is
why there are most of them. We
have only one head to two hands
aud two feet. I went round the
world in floating palace; but ]
drove to my door in a four wheeled
cab. What would your five taeents
and your two talents do without
your one? I stood awhile ago and
looked at drinking fountain; e
marble angel beautifully sculp-
tured, stood pointing to heaven.
Then came polished granite
Inscribed with gilt letters, and
massive slabs of stone. But l no.
ticed that the water came through
a small brass pipe and the people
drank from an iron cup attached
to an iron chain. And the mar
BILE angel pointing heavenwards
would have done nobody any good
but for the brass pipe and iron
cup. Think if the pipe had said:
eff they do not make me of gold l
will not belong to the thing Or
if the cup. p..had said: 81 must be of
silver, or 1 shall be ashamed to
be there at ALL" No, I thought l
heard the music of the three
common water, common pipe,
common cup. "Well." they sang,
"they can't do without us and we
must do our part along with the
marble angel4nd polished granite.

We are glad to report that the

whose serious illness brought a
temporary gloom over all her

At the residence of the BRIDES

The Rev. Mr.. Berry, Saluda's be.
loved pastor, of whose sudden and
serious, but short illness we spoke
in our last, has had return of the
same trouble, and is now in pre-
carious condition. 1t is reported
that he has written the Presiding
Elder to send a supply to take his
place, fearing that he will be un-
able to serve there further. This
report it is hoped is untrue, as
Saluda would rather grant him a
vacation for rest and recuperation
than to lose his future services.
The barbecue and fish-pond cut

Jim Holland, and prepared under
the direction of Mr.. Gus White,
elected no unusual comment, the
time being taken up in devouring
it, hearing the various orators of
the occasion, and watching with
doubtful expectancy the result of
fshery,in this last did those who the
had taken shares especially, while
away the time. To this day doubt
less they are unable to decide
whether the piscatorial success, or
rather failure, was owing to the
exceeding scarcity of the material

The remedy for all this turmoil
and confusion is clear, bold, and
intense thinking. We need more
thought, more thinking, and more
thinkers. And that means more
schools. more teachers, and more
education. We want more educa--
tion to bring out and into use the
inherent powers which our people
have. There is enough inherent,
enough native ability in humanity,
however much we may abuse it, to
adjust these questions of economics
if controlled by the legitimate
deductions of proper thought.
Thought then is the great demand
of the day. All round thought
thought without selfishness and
passion-thought that will see
both sides. Thought is the product
of thinkers, then we want more
thinkers. These are trained in
the homes. on the farms, in the
Offices, in the stores, and in the
shops; but most of all in the
schools; schools which can not
impart power or capacity, but only
develop and bring out and into
use that which the student brings

AN INSANE FATHER.
HE MURDERS HIS FAMILY.
A Russian Choirmnstcr Suddenly bscemes
Crazy sri Kills His wife
and Children.

The choirmastcr Of private chapel In
PeterhoG Parish, sixteen miles west df ST.
Petersburg, suddenly went crazy at his house
last Sunday night. His wife was already In
bed and he was preparing for bed when he
was stricken. lie got an axe from the wood
shed and chopped his wife into small pieces
on the bed, gathered the pieces into pans and
emptied them into the stove. His three chill
drcn Of eight, ten and twelve years Of sage,
who slept In the next rooni, awokr and
screamed for help. The choirrnastcr bound
and gagged them, dragged them to the river
at the rear Of his place and drowned them.
Nclghbots who had been reused by the
children's screams rushed to the river, but
too late to save their lives; tried TO catch the
father. hut he eluded them and plunged Into
tho water. He was dragged out, and taken to
jail. A crowd gathered arouud the building
the next morning and tried to force an en-
trance that they might lynch tho prisoner,
but they were driven of by the watchmen.
The cholrmastcr's insanity Is thought to be
due to Ills fanatlcai zeal In church work and
prolonged fasting. Recently, after living ten
days on bread and water, he showed slgiis Of
breaking down and told his wife that he had
committed mn objectionable sin.
