build on new cornerstones, for every
man must have a shelter OF some kind
To live out of doors is TO degenerate IN
to an animal.
Set about your task then with energy
and daring. The world cannot be one
vast conglomerate Of negations there
must be truth somewhere, and II Is
your business to possess yourself OF 1t.
The same intellect which can tear down
what others have reared can also rear
something which will satisfy the long
ings and cravings OF your spiritual ma
ture, and that 1t is your solemn onty
to do.
A great many people are compelled
to reject a certain proportion OF the
doctrines taught by the church, and
when they find that they can't believe
everything they rush impetuously to
the other extreme and refuse to believe
anything. That is fatal mistake, des-
tructive of your own best interests. II
you can't have just what you want to
eat you are not very reasonable in con-
cluding to starve yourself to death. II
one Church fails you 90 to another,
and if they all fail you then formulate
your own creed and govern your life
by it.
Surely you can find truth enough
somewhere to give you noble ideas OF
duty for this present time, and hope
of something better hereafter. If you
throw everything else aside and believe
simply in the Providence of God, in
the necessity OF supporting the just and
right as Jesus did, and in life beyond
the grave, and then shape your charac
ter according to those convictions, you
will be blessed by your brother men
and certainly not unwelcome when yor
60 to Heaven.
Entertain your doubts with a gra
cious hospitality, but regard them onl,
as guests who have come to pay you
short visit and will then depart. The.
have a mission to perform, because they
will force you to examine the grave
problems of life. As a golden stairwa.
up which you climb to higher thing
they serve grand purpose, but if o,
make them your close friends they vii
certainly leave you in the lurch in th'
pinch OF circumstance.
A man must have faith in himsel
and in some power and authority out
side of himself. He is not at his bes
until he both believes something ant
knows why he believes it.

HE NEVER ADVERTISED.

He failed for sixty thousand,
Took last look at the wreck,
And, when next they found him,
Was suspended by the neck.
HIS creditors said he drank
His wife said he was robbed;
While bis moneyed country partner
Simply sat around and sobbed.
But the wiley Coroner
(His brain was extra sized)
Said the man was plainly crazy,
For he'd never advertised.

A Political House Cleaning

The Vermont newspapers who are discuss
Ing the suggested house cleaning In Vermont
politics, have struck a subject weighty with
Importance. But 1t seems to US that our con-
temporarfes look at It In funny way. The
Bratteboro REFoRMER started the thing ago.
ing, but their conception of political house
clearing seems to be simply to transfer the
state government from Republican TO Demo-
cratic hands. Now that wouldn't be house
cleaning, looking at 1t IN any way you can.
The Democratic house in Vermont, although
much smalle" than the r publican, has all the
indications Of being just as dirty. WHAT We
want In the way or house cleaning. is q
throwing out of useless rubbish and stuff that
occupe, room and makes expense without
doing anybody any good. We want a set of
housekeepers who will run this establishment
for the good of those who live In It. In other
words we want officials ard law makers who
are not In 1t simply for the money they can
get out, or the glory, honor and emoluments
of office. Vermont has not any Of the gigan-
tic frsuds and steals which dls.rsce states
like New York, but we will venture to say
that sharp eyed housekeeper could discover
many a little useless and unlawful drain on
our income, and could caulk up many leak,
to the infnite satisfaction of the people.

ADMIRAL BENHAM, In command of the
American squadron at Rio de Janeiro, has
had little brush this week with the insur.
gents, who have for some time, by reckless
firing OF small shot, prevented American
vessels from reaching the wharves and un'
loading. After repeated notices, Benham
sent the warship Detroit to guard the mer.
chantmen, and when they were fred on By
rebels the Detroit replied with q fire from
her cannon. Benhsm's action is entirely
justi6able, as the insurgents are not recog.
nized as insurgents and can enforce no block.
ade. 1t isJust what England did with Peru
Wan rebels few years ago. One theory Of
the affair Is that the rebel admiral,
u CANA. parposely sought COLI
sion 80 that he might surrender
to the United States-which would be much
safer than to fall into Pelxoto's hands. There
does not seem to be much foundation for the
report of an arbitration. Admiral Mello who
started the rebellion has sunk out of sight !;
one report says he is dead. The insurgents
have won some minor victories but their
cause Is nevertheless very evidently Nearing
lts last gasps.

because he offered the bonds for popular sub

practice. But when 1t was found that be

The Fort PAYNE Sale.

The people who engaged SO jealousy In
financial rainbow chasing at Fort Payne
Ala, few years ago can now Fl cure up re-
suits definitely. Fort Payne was the earlie 81
| of the series of "boom town" schemes, into
which millions of dollars of Vermont money
went that ir 1t had been invested at home
might have made the state blossom With
prosperity. No doubt the place has resources
and advantages and IN time will justify the
hopes that investors had Of 1t. The trouble
was that spectators fooled outsiders into be-
lieving that the progress of generations was to
be made In as many years, and apparently
ended by foong themselves into the same
belief. They discounted the future for about
century, and marked up values accordingly.
Then In specializing among themselves they
marked up some more and the end was W hat
1t always is. OF course large amounts of
money have been made by SOMEBODY. The
bulk of the money that as gone into the
place has been simply wasted, but as always
expense OF the 'suckers.'
W. 2. Rice, formerly superintendent OF
our states prison, was the head figure OF tire
"boom," as he had before been of similar
one at Kansas City and was sfterward, at
other places. He AMI bis associates organ
lzed what they called the Fort Payne Coal
and Iron Co., and 10 the fall OF 1889 d1ated
10000 shares OF the coal and iron company
stock In Vermont, Maine, New HAMPSHIRE,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecti-
cut at S25 per share OF 300, realiz ng a clean
81 900 600 which was taken In lump sum to
Fort Payne. Afterwards they sold 10 900
more shares at $37 each. or $3.50 900. Then
they raised 100000 more on bonds with q
blanket mortgage or trust deed. TIey also
realiz d immense sums from sal es of town
lots, while wster.wor hotels, railroads,
sewer systems, furnaces, rolling mill and
all arcoutrements of commercial and manu-.
featuring city were put 10 partly with the
company money and partly by floating secur'-
ties, until the private and corporate expend'-
lures reached an aggregate of 81, 600 900.
The coal and iron company's expenditures |
amounted, as It is claimed, to $4,000, 900, and
all that 1t represented, the whole pr ,perty OF |
the company, was sold at auction last week
by the receiver, into whose hands it went q
year ago last July, for just $50 600. 1t was
only done after long resistance in the courts,
IN ding few weeks since In the federal su-
preme court.
