Greatness.

Brand<r Manhews, IN ST. Nicholas
No man had ever preached doc

no man ever showed himself more read \
than Franklin 10 do things for Others
He invented AZ open stove 10 give
more heat with less wood but he re-
fused to take out a patent for II. gla1
OF al opportunity TO serve his neigh
bors and this invention OF Franklin !
was the beginning Of the great Ameri.
can stove trade of to-day. He founded
the first fire company in Philadelphia
and SO made beginning for the pres
ent fire departments. He procured the
reorganization of the nIght-watch and
the payment of the watchmen, thus
preparing for the regular police force
now established. He started a philo-
sophical society, and he took the lead
IN setting on foot an academy, which
still survives as the University of Penn
sylvania. While he was doing things
for others, others did things for him.
and he was made clerk of the General
4 Assembly 1876, and Postmaster Of Phil
adelphia in 1877. In 1850 he was
elected member OF the Assembly, and
In 1853 he was made Postmaster Gen
eral for all the Colonies. In 174S lie
had retired from business, having 90
fitted his practice to his preaching that
he had gained competency when only
forty-two years old.
The leisure thus acquired he used in
the study of electrical science, then in
its infancy. He soon mastered all that
was known, and then he made new ex-
perlments with his wonted ingenuity.
He was the first to declare the identity
of electricity with lightning Using
wet string, he flew kite against a
thunder cloud, and drew spark from
a key at the end of the cord The
rod was his invention. OF
his Investigations and experiments be

gland and translated in France The

medal the French king had the exper-
iments repeated before him and both

A Successful Life.

Success. cannot be measured by fame
wealth or station, writes Edward w
Box in an article on what constitutes a
successful life for man and woman in
the October Ladies' Home Journal
The life of the humblest woman in the
land, it we'll lived, is rs successful as is
that of the woman who, with greater
opportunities, is enabled to make the
results OF her work reach further Some
OF us must live for the few, as others
again must live for the many. But
lives are successful Each of us in this
world influences some other being,
and it is the quality of our influences
and not the number we influence
which makes our lives successful in the
eyes Of God. We may believe that we
go to our graves unknown and unsung,
but not one of us goes out from this
world without leaving an impression
either for the good or the bad. And
the kind of impression we make while
we live, and leave when we die, is the
difference between successful and un-
successful living.

ARE THE CHILDREN SAFE?

Thank God that my darling is resting
Safe in the bosom OF God
Praise Him for the little hands folded
Under the churchyard sod,
I'm glad that on the white forehead,
I've printed the last long kiss,
Do You ask why I'm glad and thank
full,
And can praise God so tor this?
Last night as | sat at my window,
Looking out on the moonlit street,
Ny neighbor's once beautiful boy
Went by with unsteady feet
| And | remembered how | had envled
This mother, that sOrrOwful time,
When God sent his white-winged an
gel,
| And, leaving her boy, took mine.
| But now she sits in her lonely home,
In tears, broken-hearted and old
/ While the stainless feet of my darling,
Are walking the streets OF gold,
! Thank God for taking my child so
soon,
Lest no might have gone astray
For none are safe while the doors OF
Stand wide as they do to day.
| pity the child of years to come,
And mothers who little know
What lies for them IN the future
of tears and bitterest woe.
For as long as men are licensed to sell
The horrid, accursed thing,
If we cry not aloud against it,
The curse on ourselves we shall
bring.
You may be the next to suffer,
Though little you know it now
The stamp OF sin may be printed next
On your boys pure, white brow;
Draw him ever SO carefully, tenderly,
Lovingly, close to your heart,
Remember the day is now coming,
When mother and son must part;
When he must go into the busy world,
Alone, man among men:
Shall we fling wide the doors of temp
tation,
To lure our boys in, then.
We all have a voice in the matter,
And you and III have to stand
In the last great day of judgment,
At the bar at Gods right hand,
To give an accout, whether for OF
against,
This evil, we've raised our voice,
How for God Or sin, for gold or souls,
We made everlasting choice.

PROSPEROUS mExIG ..

S. M. Inman, leading cotton
man Of the South, just back from
Mexico, where be has been for a
month is a convert to free silver.
Speaking of the conditions there, he
said.
II find that Mexico has prospered
during the last two years, when
business conditions in our country
have been clogged, where they. have
not been actually going backward.
Cotton in Mexico is selling at 164
cents a pound in silver, which is
equal to 81 cents in our money. /
paid $3.50 in silver for a suite of
rooms which, in this country, would
have cost $40 in gold. A suit of
clothes, a pair of gloves, hat, or
any item Of domestic necessity sells
in Mexico for approximately the
same amount in silver that we are
required to pay here in gold; in
other words, at about half the price.
This establishes very clearly to my
mind the absurdity of the argu-
ment about silver being depreci-
ating currency. A silver dollar in
Mexico will do what is done by a
gold dollar in this country, and it
has been the appreciation of gold
and not the depreciation of silver
which has brought about the dis
parity.
| found the factories running on
full time and cotton factory at
Orizaba, capitalized at So, 100000,
was paying from 20 to 25 per cent.
dividends. The people are contented
and prosperous, and have not suf-
fered from the general depression
during the last few years. The truth
of the matter is that the silver cur
rency of Mexico has acted as a
splendid protection measure against
outside depression, and as it has
resulted in Mexico, so it would be
in this country, if we could initiate
the example of Mexico i'll this re-
spect and throw ourselves npon our
own resources. "-St. Louis Budget.

SENATOR STEWART made public
an open letter to Mr.. Cleveland,
last week, which contains some fine
examples of sarcastic style of
writing. For instance: "The joint
success of yourself and Lord Kim
berly, in planting the British flag
and extending British rule over
Nicaragua is admired and applaud
ed by every loyal subject of the
Queen, and will secure for you the
love and respect of all true Eng
lishmen. Your great and magnan-
imous nature will not be disturbed
by the unreasonable complaints of
your own countrylnen who continue
to cling to the narrow and un-
reasonable prejudices which the
descendants of the rebels of 1875
still entertain against the great and
good government which is still will
ing to protect us, Notwithstanding
the i'll will and ingratitude of our
deluded ancestors. Your exalted
position enables you to see the
great advantage of Gordon of
British naval stations guarding our
exposed seaports on the two oceans,
and the great security and COM
mercial advantages the Nicaragua
canal will afford under British
jurisdiction. Your clear vision
spans the continent and extends to
the far-off islands of the Pacific,
and you fully comprehend the COM
plete protection that the navy of
Great Britain with headquarters at
Honolulu, would be to the Pacific
coast" Following is the closing
paragraph: cease to be astonish-
ed at the unreasonable opposition
of the Senate to your benefcient
policy, and continue to treat with
contempt the vile insinuations of
improper motives in discounting
bonds to the Rothschilds to secure
protection and prosperity for our
beloved country. Keep an eye sim
gle to the glory and renown and
the imperishable name you will
leave to posterity by achieving
union of 125,O0O,O60 of English
