THE PERILS OF BOLTING.

The democrats elected James
Buchanan president in 1857 and
failed to elect president in 1860
by reasons of dlscord and dissen.
sions in the party not unlike those
which confront us at this
time. Partisan and sectional feel.
ing ran so high in the latter year
that a division of the party was
inevitable, with three tickets in
the field against the republican
organization headed by Lincoln.
The result was that the democrsts
paid the penalty of their folly by
being excluded from power until
1884 a period Of twenty-eight
years, when they elected Grover
Cleveland. In most critical
period of the party's history,
when 1t required united front to
win victory, madness ruled the
hour, the party divided and suf-
fered the penalty OF defeat for
more than quarter of century.
Can it be that all the costly les
sons or experience s are to be lost
upon us, and that, by reason of
refusal TO accept the principle
laid down by the great apostle of
our party, absolute acquiescence in
the will of the majority, we are
again to go down 10 defeat? Is
history to repeat itself? 1t is by
no means certain that we can win
the election this year if union and
harmony prevail, but ii is abso-
lutely certain that we shall throw
away the last chance left us if we
fall TO present an unbroken front
to the common enemy. We must
harmonic or We are lost. We
must come together and agree to
abide by the clearly expressed
will of the majority or We go out
OF power TO remain out for many
years to come.-Arkansas Demo-

Character Building.

A little boy watched day by day the
building Of q house across the street.
His father, noticing it said TO him one
day:
bricklayerw
mo, father" he answered; ~ have
been thinking what a little thing q
brick IS, and yet what a great house
they make of it,"
What summing up this is of great
fact in life! 1t is not great things, bul
very many small things that make uI
the sum of life. 1t is out of the daily
thoughts and deeds, insignificant as
many of them may appear, that 6
beautiful and strong character is built
Sometimes there will come d great
strain or test of q mans character
This will show Of what materials ii is
constructed, and how the meterials are
put together.
Character building proceeds slowly
but goes on all the time. Every day
some of the work is done for every
days thoughts. words, impulses, pas
siOns and deeds enter into the building
Every young person should see thai
the materials entering into his struc
ture and the construction itself he o
the best, so as to be capable of sustain
ingany strain that may be put upon il
in life.- Exchange.

The worst that can befall boy is to
have the liberty to stay out late at night.
This is too often a fatal privilege, be-
cause it is mostly during the hours of
the night that all mischief is planned
and executed. The boys who are per-
mitted the freedom of the public streets
at all hours of the night are the boys
who fill our workhouses and bring
sorrow upon their relatives and frinds.
All parents should keep their boys of
the streets and at home at night.
One of the bad habits into which a
young man is likely to fall is that OF
spending his time on the streets when
there is nothing there of any special
importance to him. This is an age OF
progress. and for people to be able Ia
meet the demands of the different
kinds of business they must spend
their time at some profitable employ
ment. Thousands of good books are
being published that are worthy of the
attention Of any young person, and
time is too precious 10 be spent in
ways that have no tendency to elevate
a boy to something grand, noble anG
profitable. If only 40 per cent o
the time that is idled away by young
people could be spent in good reading
or something of like character, W.
would have scores of giant minds, ant
the calls for men to hold places of in
fluence and respect would not be 81
numerous and loud.

Why Latin is Used.

"Why doesn't the doctor write his
prescription in English instead oi
Latin ?" asked man of a druggist
whose reply the Herald publishes:
In the first place Latin is more ex'
act and concise Language than English,
and, being a dead language, does not
change, as all living languages do.
Then, again, since very large part
of all drugs in use are botanical, they
have in the pharmacopoeia the same
names that they have in botany-the
scientific names. Two-thirds of such
drugs havn't any English names, and
so couldn't be written in English.
But suppose doctor did write q
prescription in English for some un-
educated patient. The patient reads
it thiuks he remembers it, and so tries
to get it filled from memory the sue
ond time. Suppose, for instance, il
called for iodide of potassium, and be
pot it confused with cyanide Of polas-
sium. He could safely take ten grains
of the first, but one g ain of the sec.
ond would kill him.
That's an extreme case, but it will
serve for all illustration. Don't you
see how Latin is protection and q
safeguard to the patient? Prescrip-
tions in Latin be can't read, and coll
sequently does not try TO remember.
Now for a final reason. Latin is q
language that is used by scientific men
the world over, and no other language
is. You can get Latin prescription
filled in any country on the face of the
earth where there is drug store.

A EOy Worth Having.

A few evenings since, I heard lady
say to gentleman caller, laying bel
hand caressingly upon the shoulder oi
boy of ten years:
"This is my little man. He never
uses slang, never swears, never said 8
saucy word to his parents in his life
does whatever he is told, and is boy
his mother can trust implicitly"
"Ah," said the visitor (who is man
of extensive business relations), that is
the kind of boys men are made ofv
And he Immediately commenced
casting about to see if he had not need
of such boy in his establishment.
There were several situations he could
offer, but the mother shook her head
smiled and said:
"No, he is in school now, and I want
him to fit himself for the highest posi-
ton he can reach"
When the visitor was retiring he
said to the happy parents
"Such a boy is beyond price, and
you are rich in your possessions"
Now little boys, what do you think
of such a boy? A boy who never
swears, never uses slang phrases, nor
is saucy, nor disobedient, and whom
his mother can trust? Did you ever
think how much that means?
"Whom his mother can trust W
Do you know that it is the highest
recommendation a boy can carry into
the world with him? It means 50
much, and only what is good and
worthy of aspiring to.
And this little boy is not pale
'goody-goody' boy, who exists only
in stories. He is bright. manly little
fellow loves his skates, his marbles,
his ball, and, oh dearly loves to play
And sometimes it is a great trial to
leave his sports and run errantis that
seem always to claim his time.
