words, the good resolutions made at tho
death of the old are supposed to be
broken shortly after the birth of the new.
In order to make the way easy for those
who propose to go into the business Of
resolving the following have been pre-
pared by an editor in the East:
Resolve: That you will lead an up
right and noble life. AS you will prompt
" break this resolution it will ease any
qualms of conscience you may have at
breaking any others.
Resolves That you will speak nothing
but good of your friends. In this way you
win be able to learn very shortly how
very few friends you have.
Resolve; That you will never drink
again. Then for couple Of weeks you
can tell your friends that you have
broke your good resolution merely to
drink with them, and they will feel very,
very happy.
Resolve: Not to marry. If married al
ready, point to this resolution at the
end of the year with pride. If female
(which is to be hoped you are not), tell
all the men about It,
Resolve: That you will be prudent and
economical during the entire year. If
you are not all will be well, for you will
probably have to be economical next
year to make up for it.
Resolve: Not to tell your girl of your
New Years resolutions. She is probably
trusting young thing, and 1t will rend
her heart to learn that, after all, you are
not actually as divine as she had sup

For New Years Day.

Eternal source Of every Joy,
Well may thy praise our lips employ,
While In thy temple we appear,
Whose goodness crowns the circling year
The fiowery spring at thy command
Embalms the air, and paints the landi
The summer rays with vlgor shine,
To raise the corn and cheer the vine.
Thy hand In autumn richly pours
Through all our coasts redundant stores,
And winters, soften'd by thy care,
No more a face OF horror wear
Seasons, and months, and weeks and days
Demand successive songs Of praise
Still be the cheerful homage paid
With opening light, and evening shade!
OH may our more harmonious tongues
In worlds unknown pursue the songs;
And in those brighter courts adore,
Where days and years revolve no more.

Oh, would that older ears might hear
What faithful dog would tell!
There crouch within the forest gloom,
Where darkest shadows dwell,
A hundred painted savages!
A hundred hearts of hell!
And one who knows not PHYS voice
Their cruel steps doth lead;
Of old and young, he'll still each tongue
That speaks the white mans creed.
The gods of wood to which he bows
Have bid him do this deed!
From some bold trader has he heard
The story of the Child;
OF Christmas gifts, of Christmas joys,
Peace and forgiveness mild;
And Cradle, Crown of Thorns, and Gross
His savage heart reviled.

HARD TIMES AND RENTALS.

HARD TIMES AND RENTALS.
 It is an i'll wind that blows no good, and according to the Seattle Post Intel tgencer, religious revlvals invariably follow hard times.
 That paper is authority for the state ment that such was the, case in 1857, and again in 1873, and such seems to be the case now in Brooklyn, Chicago, Montreal and Washington City. Mark Twain in one of his books describes the average Hawaiian Islander as an in- dolent, pleasure-loving, happy-go.lucky creature in good times, that is, when the weather is pleasant and the taro root is plentiful, but let storm come and the taro root be scarce, and these Hawaiian Islanders rush down to the seashore, dig up their old heathen gods and hold pow-wow until the weather clears and food is again plenty.
 Statistics show that in good times Great Britain consumes an enormous amount of malt and spirituous liquors that in hard times, when money is scarce and work hard to get, the British people become temperate through necessity or prudence. Buckle, in his "History of Civilization" shows that marriages increase or decrease in Great Britain with the rise and fall of the price of bread. In broad sense it is safe to say that human nature is about as indolent and pleasure-loving as it can afford to be. When the average man cannot afford to marry he doesn't marry; when he cannot afford to spend money for drink he becomes abstemious, and so when times are good and people are fairly prosperous they do not crowd churches or concern themselves with their spiritual condition. They are like the inebriate who apologized to his wife for coming home so early because "all the other places were shut up."
 Give the average man the creature or earthly comforts and he does not worry about religion, but take away or curtail his earthly comforts so that he cannot afford to eat, drink and be merry, and in his gloom and enforced idleness he drifts to church, for he argues that "that does not cost him anything" and in it's solemnity is in tune with his melancholy mood. It may be said that the religious awakening which follows hard times is the cropping out of not very admirable or heroic quality of human nature. It is cheap man or woman who when they cannot find money to pay for the sensual pleasures of this world grasps like 8 drowning man at straw at the comforts and con- solations of religion that cost nothing. It is like the man who, when he could no longer afford to stop at frst-class hotel loved to write. his name among "the arrivals" If he could not pay

for big dinner he enjoyed the illusion of Barmecide banquet.
 Nevertheless we must take poor hu- man nature as we find it, and if a man turns from evil to righteousness in hard times because he cannot afford to pay for evil pleasures, let us never forget that out of the thousands who resort to the revival there may be some which it's work will make so much stronger, sweeter and nobler that they will never go back to evil indulgence again even when the coming of good times makes them think that they can again afford to pay for foolish and sinful pleasures. Of course, the only men who will get any good out of revivals will be those who believe with Moody that religion is not merely theological system of belief, but that religion is life. If per sonal mlsfortunes and loss make man resort to religion rather than mere theological belief for comfort, strength, patience and resignation, then when the revival IS over he will be better citizen; his personal life will be dedi- cated to the moral welfare of his con- munity and will be an inspiration and a blessing both in public and private station

HER NUMEROUS PRODUCTS.
Then there is rock-rock such rs might
be used in the pyramids. such as might
grace the dome OF St. Paul, such as might
be utilized in building stately palaces of
commerce or III paving streets; in short, in
any field of utility or art. There are clays
such as might fill the scul ptor's heart vii h

his last coin upon, such as the farmer
wishes for his soil. such as all good com

much as Perry Last. but not least, there
Is artesian water, and all evidence of salt.
This soil is rich beyond the widest dream
of Moses; this cline is congenial; here
rivers are plentiful, forests are abundant
and nature delights to bestow her choicest
favors.
All this, while seeming to be the utter
ance of an enthusiast, has yet the dignity
and sobrety of veritable truth. All that
is claimed Tor Perry she has, aud even
more. Such confidence has her claims, if
would awaken i'll euterprising
capitalists through out the country, she
has, and in liberaldegree. Her minerals
have been assayed, aud no voice on earth
can gainsay the ineXorable truth of her
just claim. From every city and from
every state anxious inquiry is daily re-
eeived, capital is forwarded, new enter
prises are awakened. and new industries
started for the developement of her untold
mineral wealth. With the single excep-
lion, inevitable in territory wuere titles

strong prospect that the coming of the

of at least one cross line connecting the

ble coal fields lying not far distant.
TEMPERATURE AND RAINFALL
The temperature of Oklahoma, for a
period of years last past. has been, by the
thermometer, precisely that of the middle
uplands of Central Italy and of California.
During midsummer. the intense heat of
the tropical sun warns into life and eX-
uberant vegetation its genial soil. The
uninterrupted sweep of its broad prairie
affords delightful racing ground
for the God of winds, and he de-
lights to cool the temperature of evening
and of nightfall in a perfect measure. A
pleasant autumn season extends far into
the declining year, and while Boreas holds
the region to the north in his icy grip, or
rocks it with the fury of his energy, this
cline abides in the tranquility of summer,
n rinched nv the frosts and unmantled by
the snow. Upon every hand the scent Of

wisdom has prevailed in its councils, and
the venomous tongue of scandal has not
yet dared raise its poisonous whisper to
give utterance to the cry of Doodle. BY
its direction, innumerable bridges have
been built within the city limits, all cred
liable structures, and general policy of
liberality and progresslyeuess has been in-
augurated.
TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES.
Perry enjoys the advantage of being
located upon one OF the great continental
trunk lines of the country She is very
near. both north and south, to junction
points. which brings her within ready aud
convenient communication with all west
ern, central aud seaboard points. She en-
joys freight rate which is fair and equit
able. and a general dispatch in the trans
action Of railroad business such as few
other western points have. Moreover,
Perry is in the exact line OF latitude
which is fixed by the general concensus of
railroad opinion throughout the country
as being that upon which the next great
trunk line between the east and west will
be built. At the utmost it is matter Of
but a short time in the future when such
line will be in operation. There are also
indications which go very far to justify
the conviction that the immediate
future will realize the projec-
tion and construction OF great
longitudinal line of railroad which shall
connect the Gulf of Mexico, with the
British possessions, and which shall
traverse the region of Okla
