.Think o. Yer Mither I"

Lord Nelson is reported to have said
that che never knew what fear was.
But scores of brave men have known
that terrible sensation and have risen
above it. Courage in certain persons
is an instinct, but in the majority
brave men it is moral creation.
The Rev. j. G. Young tells in his
Journal" story illustrating the
fact that mothers influence can
create courage in her son, even though
he is "a coward on instinct" !"
The boy, 10 years Of age, behaved
with such conspicuous bravery in his
first battle with the Russians at the
Alma, as to attract the attention OF a
newspaper correspondent. The moth
er read the published letter, and wrote
to her son, calling him her ''hero boy"
The son replied with the frank confes'
sion that had it not been for q ser
geant-major, and the thought OF his
mother, he should have run away.
He wrote:
"When I first saw the Russian guns
opening fire, I felt disposed to run
away. I felt that I was born COW:

more of the CHASTITY effect Of shot and

over my shoulder.

time, unless aborted, enter that wider
realm. Such reasoning is perfectly
legitimate and conclusive.

legitimate and conclusive.
Take now the human being. It is
born into the world equipped with
capacities for knowledge that can
never be grati6ed in this life. In
fact, every step in that direction only
increases the desire for more. It has
intuitive thirsts for enjoyment that
are never fully satiated on earth, and
ties of friendship and parental and
flial affection, the severing Of which
by death inAicts torture a thousand
fold worse than death itself.
Now, why should the human being
be endowed with these wonderful
powers and capacities, if no future
life for their qualification exists :?
Brutes are not thus equipped. For
men to be thus endowed and then
death end all, is for them to be pos
sessed of capacities and propensities
in this life that are of no advantage,
but positive torment to their posses
sor. No, no; the very fact that hu-
man beings are thus endowed as
clearly and positively predicts and
proclaims the existence of heaven
for them to enter, where those cepaci-
ties and powers can be fully exercised
and satisfied, as the feet, eyes, wings
and lungs Of the unborn chicken de-
clare that it is designed to live in a
larger world. Tennyson well says:
My own dim life should teach me this,
That life shall be forevermore,
Else earth is darkness at the core,
And dust and ashes all that Is.
Thus it seems clear that while
nature and physical science do not
absolutely demonstrate human immor-
tality and the existence of the Bible s
heaven, they do furnish an abundace
of data from which to logically con-
clude with much assurance that such
heaven does exist. They furnish an
array of facts that demonstrates the
necessity of human Immortality, while
at the same time they offer no pre-
sumption against the doctrine.
The above considerations, which
might be greatly enlarged upon, when
taken as confirmation Of the Bible
doctrine of the future life, have great
weight, and are worthy of the most
thoughtful consideration but it re-
quires the New Testament and faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ to give the
human soul positive, satisfactory as
surance of the truthfulness Of this
sublime doctrine. Jesus Christ and
Jesus Christ alone ''hath brought life
and Immortality to light by the gos-
pel.

The Reward Of Perseverance.

At one of the mills in the city of
Boston, a boy was wanted and piece
of paper was tackled to one OF the
posts, so that all the boys could see
il as they passed by. The paper read
"Boy wanted. Call at the office to-
morrow morning.
At the time named there was host
of boys at the gate, All were admit
ted but the overseer was little per-
picked as to the best way OF choosing
one from so many, so he said
"Now, boys, when only want one
of you, how can [ choose from so
many?'
After thinking a moment, he invited
them into the yard, and driving nail
into one of the large trees, and, taking
short stick, told them that the BOY
who could hit the nail with the stick
little distance from the tree should
have the place. o.
The boys all tried hard and, after
three trials, each failed to hit the nail:
The boys were told to come again next
morning; and this time, when the
gate was opened, there was but one ne3
boy. He, after being admitted, picked
up the stick and, throwing it at the
nail, hit it every time.
elbow is this p said the ovcrseer.
"What have you been doing p
And the boy, looking up with tears
in his eyes, said:
"You see, sir, I have mother; and
we are very poor. have no no father,
sir, and l thought l would like to get
the place, and so help all | can; and
after going home yesterday, l drove a
nail into the barn, and have been
trying ever since, and have come down
this morning to try again"
The boy was admitted to the place.
Many years have passed since then,
and this boy is now a prosperous ana
wealthy man and at the time OF an
accident at the mills he was the hs II t5rst st
to step forward with gift OF sooo to
relieve the sufferers. His success

THE BEEF TRUST.

Secretary Morton is always inter
ested in everything connected with
the food supply Of the people, hence
1T is not surprising that he should
be devoting his time and the power
OF the Department Of Agriculture
to heading of the extortion of the
beef trust. IL he had his way, and
President Cleveland and the other
members Of the cabinet agree with
him, the tariff OF 20 per cent ad
valorum on foreign cattle would at
once be abolished, but only Con.
gress can do that. AS the next
best thing Secretary Morton has
amended the rules of his depart
ment so as to admit Mexican cattle,
after they have been inspected by
our officials. Speaking Of the re.
sult Of this move DR.. Salmon, chief (
Of the Bureau OF Animal Industry
Of the Department OF Agriculture,
said "It is guesswork to make
an estimate of how many cattle will
be brought from Mexico. There is
no census Of cattle in North Mex
leo. We have no figures to go by.
Nor have we any accurate news as
to what proportion Of the cattle
there arc ready for slaughter. But
what is known might encourage a
belief that the number of cattle
brought In from Mexico during the
next month will be heavy. Once
before we let down the bars to the
incoming Of Mexican cattle and
within month % 900 were brought
in. Probably the number will
reach 100, 900 this time" From
the very marked variations IN the
retail price Of beef in different cit
les Secretary Morton is inclined to
believe that the retailer is squeezing
the consumer harder than he him.

lie is now making an investigation

"My belief is that beef ring ex-

The difficulty now before us is how
to prevent its continuance. Hany-
thing fs done the papers will have

law will neither punish nor protect.
We've gone all through it with a
microscope, and it is clear that it
was made to be evadod and asue

SIMPLE FAITH.

This earth on which our tents we pitch,
And IL in turn around the sun.
That orb of flame the Wise Men claim
Revolves n greater sun around,
Whose struggling light is lost in night,

But none return that we may learn
That which we wish the most to know.

For spirits flown beyond recall
