Separation separates, and separation
unites. Two who are not one find
themselves 50 by living apart; two
who are one realize that they are so by
attempting TO live apart. Two per-
sons who are on friendly terms enjoy,
ably when they are together, find, as
they are away from each other, that
they can get on very we'll all by them.
selves. Two persons who are real
friends find in their absence from each
other that the bond of their union is
all the stronger for their enforced sep
aration. Separation is Il test of union
as it is also 4 test of ones power to
live alone.

Presently

Never say you will do presently
What your reason or your conscience
tells YOU should be done now. No
man ever shaped his own destiny or
the destinies of .others wisely and well
who dealt much in presentlies. Look
at rature. She never postpones.
When the time arrives for the buds
to open, they open; for the leaves to
fall, they fall. Look upward. The
shining worlds never put off their
settings. The comets even, erratic as
they are, keep their appointments:
and eclipses are always punctual to
the minute. There are no delays in
any of the movements of the universe
which have been predetermined by
the absolute fiat of the Creator. Pro-
crastinalion among the stars might in
volve the destruction of innumerable
systems procrastination in the opera
tons of nature on this earth might
result in famine, pestilence and the
blotting out of the human race. Man,
however, being free agent, can post
pone the performance of his duty ; and
he does SO too frequently to his own
destruction.
The drafts drawn 10y Indolcnce upon

Trust Him,

Trust God inatf1iction. 1t is the hap
piest state of mind to be in. Say with
Job, "Though he slay me, yet will l
trust in him" Trust him in poverty.
Some of us must be poor forever. No
amount of effort or ngunuity can make
us rich. But God loves the trusting
poor. Wealth is often a snare. Pow
erty is great Inconvenience, but it
may prove blessing to many. Bless
ed are the poor, for they shall inherit
the earth. Trust him in weakness.
He is strong. He can impart his
strength to you. The trusting soul
commands the arm that controls the
world. Trust him in loneliness. None
that trust in him shall be desolate.
Better than thousand patrons and a
thousand friends is the presence of
God in the lonely hour. Trust him in
religious effort. In revivals, in per-
sonal appeals to the unsaved, in all
your godly undertakings, trust in God.
He alones can make potent your fall
tering speech. Let every breath be a
prayer of trust. Trust him always. He
is with you. Whisper to him. Talk
with him as with a friend. Cultivate
the habit of fmomentarily trusting your
life, talents, possessions, influence, con-
versation, all to him and in him. No
attitude or experience is more graceful
or blissful than that of trust.-Select-

The woman who is always we'll and
neatly dressed is able to exercise Il
greater influence for good than one
who is the reverse. The well-dressed
woman is attractive to the eye, and the
eve is one of the main avenues to the
heart. Other things being equal, her
influence is more potentthan herneigh-
boris, whose reputation of dressing
"just as it happens" at home, in some
undefinable way, casts Il shade over
whatever virtue she may possess. n
woman neatly dressed is ready for EN-
ergencies. The chance caller and the
unexpected guest find her ready to re-
ceive them. But perhaps the greatest
necessity for looking well at home en-
lists in the home itself. TO the mem
bers of our own family we owe the
first duty.-Inter-Ocean.

"a soft answer turneth away wrath !;
but grievons words stir up anger"
So says the wise and inspired proYerb.
The truth of this statement has been
verified in the experience of tens OF
thousands who have been wise enough
to try it. 1t is of universal applica-
ton. 1t holds good in the family,
among neighbors, in the church.. and
between nations. Anger stirred up
leads to strife and litigation, to the
alienation of good friends and neigh
bors, to family feuds, to neighborhood
feuds. to war and bloodshed, 10
wretchedness, ruin, and desolalion.
TO avoid grievous words, we must set u
guard upon our lips, and take time to
reflect before we speak, and if an All
cry word comes up and tries to get out
aud sting somebody, as it is likely to
do under provocation, shut the door of
your lips upon him and examine care
fully, and see whether he is a peace
maker or mischief-maker before you
let him out. For once he is out he
passes beyond your control.--C. A.

Tho Same Old Game.

Mr.. CLEVELAND will doubtless see through
the shallow Mugwump device. now fully ex-
posed, for carrying on tho old campaign OF
anti-Democracy. The attempt is lively to
get him to join In by opposing beforehand
the selection as Senator OF MIR. MURPHY.
a stalwart Democrat. and as loyal as he Is
stalwart. on the ground that such choice
would be an act of hostility to himself.
These are the same arguments and the
same advocates that were behind the CAM
pagn to prevent New York from electing
a Democratic Mayor in $780, the year Of the
Force bill. The arguments were not then
so openly expressed; but they nerved these
ntl-Democrats of to-day into the attempt
to divide the New York city Government
with the Republicans, as the best means
OF fortifying themselves. The GRACE
FAIRCHILD- Timcs-P Post combination to elect
Mugwump Mayor in 1890 was as hos
tile to the interests OF the Democracy. here
and everywhere, and as ridiculous in tho
sight OF honest partisanship. as the effort
to get Mr.. CLEVELAND now to throw the
weight Of his influence against the regular
Democracy Of New York.
Mr.. CLEVELAND. no longer the Presiden-
tial candidate. but the Democratic Presi-
dent-elect. is not likely to be caught in
the Mugwump net.

Murphy, Manning, and Whitney.

The old-fashioned Mugwump discompos-
ure has appeared again. in opposition to
Mr.. EDWARD MURPHY as the next Senator
from New York. Apart from Mr.. MURPHY
having always been IL Democrat. one great
objection urged against him is that he has
not distinguished himself in public Office.
He is q gentleman who has always been
arduous in his devotion to New York poll
tics. and he has been successful in private
business. In personal manner and accom-
plishments. If they be the test. he is en-
while. in regard to the talk concerning his
public career. to call attention to the In
teresting rise into great eminence OF two
New York citizens eight years ago.
When Mr.. CLEVELAND was elected Presi-
dent in 1884 he filled two seats in his Cabi-
net from the Empire State. In the great
Office OF Secretary Of the Treasury he put
Mr.. MANNING. subsequently a conspicuously
successful occupant OF the post: and ut the
head OF the growing portfolio Of the Navy
he put Mr.. WILLIAM c. WHITNEY. whose
ability conferred upon the Adminstra-
ton one OF its brightest crowns. At the time
when these two gentlemen We're selected
for their most splendid honors Mr.. WHIT
NEY's political reputation rested on the fact
that he had been Corporation Counsel OF the
city OF New York. and Mr.. MANNING was the
Chairman OF the Democratic State Com
mittee. a place OF political responsibility
now and for many years held. with far
greater success. by Mr.. MURPHY.

A campaign OF education Is about to be-
gin which. we trust. will remove much
troublesome mysthcaton In regard to an
important principle OF poltico-economical
controversy. 1--WE are to have tariff for
revenue only" says the Co,rier-Journdl
"The tariff is to be reduced to n revenue
basis" says the Utica Observer.
II tariff for revenue meant. rs the un-
sophisticated have often been led to be-
lieve. n tariff productive Of no more revc-
nue. thnn meets the expenses OF the Gov
eminent. we have 1t now.
But. accurately interpreted, tariff for
revenue is distinguished from tariff for
protection. Revenue grows great with i'm
portations. With the duty lowered to the
point at which foreign products are
brought here in unrestricted quantities.
the food OF imported goods and the revenue
thercfrom are Mt their maximum. and pro-
lection is wiped out
Tho protective tariff OF the day can be re-
placed by n revenue system freed from
protection as surely rs n tariff could be
built up were there none now. Then we
shall have in truth tariff for revenue only.
but until then we must have a protective
tariff. incidentally protective. perhaps some
may like to call it, but still protective. II
the economists whose task 1t will BIZ to re-
arrange our revenue system touch 1t with
the hand OF the free trader. but with the
art Of practical philosopher prefer to call
the result tariff for revenue only. no
ono need complain.
