May look like that which God once made,
And called it Paradise.
It's everybodys business
! TO search for heavens gate,
And do it with an earnest mind,
Lest he should be too late;
And if he would welcome gain
From angels round the throne,
He'd better take his neighbours soul
TO stand beside his own.

The returns OF exports for the fiscal
year ending June 80, being complete, it
is interesting to note how sadly eloquent
figures can speak. The aggregate value
of exports is 1865, 207 ,941, or $3S, III, 1856
more than for the previous year. Wheat
and wheat flour exported brought $40,-
$50, 516 less than the fiscal year ending
June so, 1898. But the exports of New
England rum for 1894 were valued at
81 ,0Sl ZIG, against $77S,006 for the pre-
cedng year. Wheat loses, while rum
gains proportionally. Whiskey to the
amount Of 4,l05 $3.50 gallons, valued at
rs, l05 $3.50, was sent in 1891, against
$50, 452 gallons, valued at II ,4Gl ,013,
in 1S93.-NcW York Voice.
