try than the humble nun who may be
said to have eXerted Il kindly and
wholesome influence over generations
of French lads. ''Soeur Dragon as
she had early been nicknamed, was
adored by the boys, though they all
found that it was by no means easy
to ''sham sick wherr she was concerned

to be the last Jansenist left in France,

sister Of Arnauld; but though full of
the old Port Royale traditions, Soeur
Angelique was nothing if not orthodox.

her to her patients were much priced

Congeries in Cities.

Side by side with that civilization
which takes it's name from cities, are
great disadvantages which appear only
where men and women are crowded to-

servers speak of cities as ''great sores, -
this, to me, is a mistake. High civiliza-
tion demands large cities and does not
exist without them. At the same time
there should be no false impressions to
the use or attractiveness of such for the
advantages of country life are great.
There are many now in cities who
would be better off elsewhere. There are
many benefits in cities, libraries, hOspi-
tails, art galleries, educational institu-
tions, factories, mercantile houses gen.

the many is the escape from that

ADAPTATION.

Don't look for the flaws as you go on through life;
And even when you find them,
1t is wise and kind to be somewhat blind,
And look for the virtues behind them.
For the clOudieSt night has a hint of light
Somewhere in its shadows hiding:
1t is better by far to look for a star
Than the spots on the sun abiding.
The current of life runs ever away
To the bosom of Gods great ocean:
Don't set your force gainSt the rivers course,
And think to alter its motion;
Don't waste a curse on the universe
Don't raise up mountains before you.
Don't butt at the the storm with your puny form.
But bend and let it go DER you.
The world will never adjust itself
To suit your whmS to the letter;
Some things must go wrong your whole life long,
And the sooner you know it the better.
1t is folly to fight with the Infinite.
And go under at last in the wreStle;
The wisest man shapes into Gods plan
AS the water shapes into vessel.

DreamIand.

What is dream? has long been
bone Of contention among men. Some
scientists tell us dreams are mental dis
turbances produced from diSordered
stomachs. Others say they are the
working of a too sensitive brain whilst
the wearied body is resting in Sleep
But sages of oden times deemed them
the impressions left on the mind of
conversations held by the spirit, whilst
free Of the requirements Of the gross
body. And it is possible that all are
correct for each class of reasOnerS may
have been arguing on separate class
of dream. Speaking for myself | have
had acquaintance with all three kinds.
After many night of battles with wild
beasts, dragons, bad men, or balls of
fire, | have relied in the morning that
there was an undesirable, undigested
burden on my stomach. Once when
lad / had been one Of twenty chess
players who had simultaneously en-
gagged, ,.thatsgreat player Lowenthal. The
game ended in draw triumph enough
for lad Of seventeen. In my sleep [
played the game through and changing
a move, won. Next day | suggested
the change and it's results to Herr
Lowenthal who gave it careful analysis
and pronounced the move sound and
forceful of a win as followed out. Six
years afterwards in India my favorite
brother stood plainly by my bedside
smiled at me and vanished. In the
morning it only impressed me as
sweet and pleasant dream calling for

later heard the news of his death in
the West Indies at about the time had
dreamed of him. Had noted the date
exactly | might now know as u fact
that soul cOnverses with soul when re-
leased from this mortal coil by sleep or
death. Yet though it is mere unau
thentic coincidence, | remain impress
sed that such communion is more than
probable. History tells us of two note
worthy dreams: That of Julius Caesars
wife on the night prior to his assassina-
ton: That warning sent to Joseph
which gave to the world the life and
death of Christ.
Since penning the above have been
told by one: Several of the most i'm
portant events of my life including my
coming here were fOreshadowed to me
from dreamiand. Yet so gross and
dull were my imaginations that l did
not construe their warning till con-
struction was to late Another writes
of a beautiful vision of the hereafter
that remains impressed in vivid lines
and flowing colOrs on his brain. This
comes under the second class of dream
theories, for he had dropped off to
sleep pondering on the subject of Death
and Beyond.

My advice is not to hope at all but to
act. Act your part as man and if you
don't get pardoned or pGrOled, console
yourself with the thought that you are
not the first manly man that has been
the victim of circumstances. Above
all things don't hope. 1t is absolutely
useless. There is altogether too much
hope. If men would stop hoping for
what they want and do all that is with
in their power for the accomplishment
of their ideal, this would be far better
world to live in than it is at present.
SUNOL.
The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1893-11-09

There is no attribute of human ma
ture that has exercised such an un-
bounded and all prevailing influence
upon the destiny of men and nations as
hope. There is no condition, or circum-
stance in life, wherein it's power is not
experienced. The progress made by
nations in civilization has been in pro-
portion to their possession of san
guine temperament. Hope is ever a
stimulus and incentives; the desire for
wealth, power and position is only
kept alive by the expectation of the
realization of that desire. If this in
centive did not exist there would be little
if any progress. Pitiful indeed would
be the condition of mankind. Consider
for moment these conditions: The
invalid in despair: The poor despond-
ent: The prisoner in a state of melan-
choly. Without hope there would be
stagnatiOn and retrOgreSsion instead of
movement and pragreSs.
OBSERVER.
Laying aside the question of hope in
the next world, how can a man exist in
our condition without it? | believe
every one of us has it in some form; a
word, look, a letter from some one
dear to us, or perhaps book will fur
nish it. Our natures demand it in order
that we may be enabled to go through
our daily routine. What a SpiritleSs
object man appears who says: 81 have
no hope Who has any confidence in
him? He does not live, he simply ex-
lists Instead of raising himself higher
he sinks to despair. He represents cow
ardice in that he acknowledges him
self beaten in life while there remains
chance to better himself. Look at
the hopeful man. He is an inspiration
to his fellows; one always feels better
after talk with him. Fair weather
friends may leave him in adversely, but
he is sure of finding true ones in their
stead. Above ALL he makes the most
of himself and in the contest of life he
grows better and stronger. MAC.
