brighter as the milleniums 60 by, and
the world shall see that The God who
made this continent has redeemed it
by his grace from al its sorrows and
from all its crimes.

lowed by all the armies of Heaven on
white horses. God could do 1t with
out us, but He will not. The weak
est of US, the faintest Of us,
the smallest-brained Of us, shall
have . p6rt in the triumph. We
may not have our name, like
the ne;Ae of S~ostratus, cut in imperish-
able rock and conspicuous for CEN
turtles, but we shall be remembered In
a better place than that, even in the
heart Of Him who came to redeem us
and redeem the world. and Dur names
will be seen close to the signature OF
His wound, for, as to-day He throws
out His arms to us, He says: behold. l
have craven thee on the palms of My

have the powers Of darkness been SO
determined to win this continent as
now.
Who shall have this hemisphere,
Christ or Satan? Who shall have the
shore Of her inland seas. the silver Of
her Nevsdas. the gold of her Colorados,
the telescopes Of her obs~ervatories, the
brain of her universities, the wheat Of
her prairies, the rice Of her savannas,
the two great ocean beaches-the one
reaching from Bafin's Bay to Terra
del Fuego, and the other from Behring
straits to Cape Horn-all the moral
and temporal and spiritual aud ever
lasting interests OF a population vast
beyond all human computation? Who
shall have the hemisphere? You and
I will decide that, or help to decide it
by conscientious vote, by earnest
prayer, by maintenance of Christian
institutions, by support of great phil
anthropies, by putting body, mind and
soul on the right side of all moral. re-

compelled to cut their crops early in the
day and come to the city, remaining in
market over night. While such an ar
rangement will not be very objectionable
to the farmers who live some distance
from the city, yet they prefer to have the
yard and stables remain, for then they
can stable their horses near the market and
at a cost much less than is charged at the
regular livery stables.
Under the market arrangement the coun-
try people were charged . cents for each
horse stabbed, in addition to the animals
feed. while in the livery stables the charge
Is twice or three times that amount. The
stable is a large one and will accommo-
date about one hundred and twenty-five
horses while there are rooms in the build
ing IN which the owners Of the teams may
sleep. At present there are two men in
charge of the place. who receive from the
owners of the teams ten cents for each
animal stabbed, the owner providing the
feed for their ANIMALS.
In the event of the place being filled
with stands the stabling Of horses and
cattle will have to be done elsewhere.
There is enough ground space, it is said,
for about two hundred stands in addition
to loom for a hay market. Should this
plan be adopted it will result in clearing
the south side of B street of the country
wagons and it has been suggested that
during the busiest season, the summer
months, the street between 10th and 18th
streets might be used for temporary stands,
as there is not much travel in that section.
InlS, II Is thought, Wouiu Inc
country trade to the two squares between
10th and 18th streets, and would give less
trouble to the authorities than is now the
case. The country people who stand along
the line of the curb on the south side of b
street are each required to pay ten cents,
the money going to four men who are com
missioned as special policemen. This
money pays them for their services, and
they are required to clean the garbage and
manure from the street The sidewalk and
street are in bad condition, and in wet
weather the sidewalk is almost impossible.
For a number of years this question has
given the authorities considerable trouble,
and three years ago the Commissioners
enacted regulations governing the place, as
follows:

of the police regulations in and for the

following:

The Wrong Medicine.

From the Syracuse Post. gc
There lives in a town not far from here
in fact it is at iSkaneateles-a couple who
think a good deal Of each other, and when
one is i'll the other does everything in the
world for her or his welfare. Not long ago
the husband was taken i'll and his wife
rummaged around to find some medicine in
the house. Finally she came across a box
of little black pills. There was no writing
on the cover of the box to tell what they
WERE but as they resembled certain liver
pill, the wife concluded they must be the
required thing. She gave them to her hubby
regularly and he seemed to improve. About
a week after, when he had got down to the
last pill, he CHANGED to turn the box over.
He gave a yell that startled the whole
neighborhood. His wife ran to him, think
ing that he was dying. Look ne cried;
"read what it saws on the bottomr' She did
as he bade her, and this was what she

as much money for the privilege as they
did when the property was in the hands of
the market company. What disposition
the Commissioners will make of this prop
erty Is not yet definitely known. It is
probable, however, that the square of
ground will continue to be used for market
purposes The question would have been
settled long ago had the farmers and gar
deners been able to come to some agree
ment, but as settlement between them
seems to be an impossibility the Commits
sioners or their representatives will do
what they deem best, considering first, it
is said, the interests of the buyers.
On one hand the farmers are anxious that
the place shall be conducted as it has been
for nearly quarter of century, while
the gardeners are anxious to see stands
erected on the square and rented they
were before the property was turned over
to the market company. Should this be
done they will be willing to pay for the
stands in advance, for then the nearby
dealers can come into market in the morn
ing and be sure of a stand instead Of being
