A Barrel of whisky.

A drayman rolled forth from his cart to
the street
A red headed. barrel. well bound and COM
And on it red letters, like forSed tongues
of flame,
Emblazoned the grade. number. quality,
fame
OF this world-renowned whisky from
somebody's still
Who arrested the grain on the way to the
mill.
So there stood the barrel delivered, but I
Could see that a shadow was lowering
sulphurous shadow. that grew, as 1
gazed,
To the form of Mephisto. Though sorely
ventured to question this imp of the
realm
Where Vice is. the pilot, with Crime at
the helm,
And asked him politely his mission to
And if he was licensed to retail the same
Identical barrel of whisky which he
Was fondly surveying with. demoniac
'oh, I never handle the stuff" he re-
piled;
MY partners mortal are trusted and
trieu;
Mayhap, peradventure. you might wish
to look
At the invoice complete-I will read from
this book
GU VIII ma tnat Inc Darrel contains
Sometflin more
Than forty-two gallons of whisky ga
lore"
And ere / could slip another word in,
He checked it off gayiy, this cargo of sin:
"a barrel of headaches, of heartaches, of
woes;
A barrel Of curses, a barrel of blows!
A barrel of tears from worldweary
wife;
A barrel of sorrow, a barrel of strife;
A barrel of all-unavailing regret:
A barrel of crime and a barrel of pain;
A barrel OF hopes ever blasted and vain;
A barrel of falsehood, a barrel of cries
That fall from the maniac's lips as he
dies;
A barrel of poison-of this nearly full;
A barrel of poverty, ruin and blight;
A barrel of terrors that grow with the
night;
A barrel of hunger, a barrel of groans;
A barrel of orphans most pitiful means;
A barrel of serpents that hiss as they
pass
From the bead on the liquor that glows
in the glass;
My barrel! my treasure! bid thee fare
well,
Sow We the foul seed, reap it in hell!'

Notes..

Hawthorne spoke truly when he said:
Happiness in this world. when 1T
comes, comes incidentally. Make it
the object of pursuit and it leads us
wild goose chase and is never at
tanned"
Nothing can justly be despised that
cannot justly be blamed; where there
is no choice there can be no blame

To know the pains of power we must

pleasures we must go to those who

Humility

1 believe the first test of a truly great
man is his humility. I do not mean by
humility doubt of his own power, or
hesitation in speaking his opinions, but
right understanding of the relations
between what he can do and say and
the rest Of the worlds doings and say
ingS. All great men not only know their
own business, but usually know that
they know 1t, and are not only right in
their main opinions, but usually know
that they are, only they do not think
much of themselves on that account
They DO not expect their fellow men
TO fall down and worship them: they
have a curious under sense of power
lessness feeling that greatness is not
in them, but through them. They do
their work. feeling that they cannot
well help doing it.-Ruskin.

The Life Hereafter.

Death, we may be assured. is not the

is it bar to redemption or to any
recovery of lost ground. 1t does not

the fulfilment of anfulfiiled lives. nor
to deprive of further opportunity. The

given TO walk in. and where there shall
be no defeat and no sorrow any more.

Prayer, as conducted in public by the
churches, is in direct violation of his in
junction that it must be in secret, and not
in the synagogue or on the streets, and
that it must be short and simple, as in
the Lords prayer. and not by vain repe-

ReIirious ConvictiOns.

Religion is not matter of opinion, but
of supreme conviction. Broadly stated.
for all honest men, belief must needs
follow conviction of truth. To be con-
WINGED of truth and not to act upon it
is to outrage the soul, to tamper with the
moral consciousness, and to let the moral
life ebb away.-Rev. Charles z. Murray.

Is Charity worth while.

But after all, what we want to DO
you and /, is to fill our lives with char
atty, SO that to whcmever there may
come need we can give help. The hep
may express itself in material things;
1t may be in the sympathy of kindly
words, or may be spoken only by the
pressure of the hand. There is no
charity in having your name on the
list OF generous givers while someone
near TO you stands within doors be-
cause her coat is shabby, or because
her clothing is not sufficiently warm
There is no charity in the giving of
much money if you have been harsh
and cruel to someone who deserves
your consideration, and have made that
one heart feel that there is nothing in
he world but bitterness. There is no
charity in your being willing to write
thecks that represent much money
when you are quick to speak the IN
kind word, or to show TO those around
you q heart eaten up by pride, and lips
hat urter no words save those IF
scorn. All the gold in the world will
oount as nothing unless your charity
us Ike that which was taught to the
world nearly 1900 years ago. 1t meant
that TO feed the hungry, take care of
the sick, TO forgive the sinner. and to
help, always in the best way, whoever
asks for help. was Christ's charity.
That IS the charity, my friend, that
you and l want 90 try to initiate. Be
gin by being charitable with your lips.
by being charitable in your thoughts
and acts. And if, of your little store
there can only be offered a few pence,
you may be certain that they will be
reckoned by God himself as greater
than the many millions given by those
who are so unwise as to think that
charity means only the giving the least
of all things-money.' Ruth Ashmore,

Baptism is the most necessary of all
sacraments, for it is the CRATE or door Of
all others; unless we first receive the
sacrament of baptism we cannot validity
receive any of the others; without it we

One of the Best WAYS.

One of the best ways to be loved in a
community is to seek its welfare by re-

kind generous and helpful action, by
expressing ones own in a polite but firm
way, and by discharging duty with cour-
tesy. considerateness and fidelity.-Pres-

The saloon is mischievous, murder

It is the prolific breeder of vice.
It is a corrupter of our boys and de-
stroyer of our young men.
1t is the constant meter of riot and
murder.
1t is the brazen insulter of women

1t is the most vicious and malicious
enemy of the home.
1t is satan's school house and the

MAHATMAs SET SAIL.
STUDENTS OF PoFUL-vUH AND

Four Master Misunderstanding Theos-

that All the Mahatmas Are En-

NEW YORK, June 5.-Four of the
master minds of theosophy are going
to Europe in little time to do some
wonderful things They are not going
in their astral bodies, but in a steamer,
and will pay their way just as ordinary
folk do who have no inside pull with
MahatmaS. Two or three others who
have not yet reached the pinnacle of
theosophical wisdom are going along
with the four to help the good cause
along in their humble way.
The four master minds are owned by

Gently elected president of the Theo-
sophical society; Mrs. Katherine Alice
Tingley, the boss theosophist of them
all, on whom has fallen the mantle of
Helen T. Blavatski and w. @. Judge,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Claude Falls Wright,
who We're recently married by yelled
Mahatna, complete the quartette of
master minds. The secondary minds
in the party are owned by H. 7. Pat
terson, Mrs. Russell and Mrs. Height
ley, all of them deeply studied in Poful-
Vuh and Mayas and CLUTCHES. To be a
theosophist and not to have read Po-
ful-Vuh and Mayas and CLUTCHES is a
terrible state of affairs.
These wonderful minds are not SUI
perstitious, for their owners have en-
gagged passage on a steamer which
sails on Saturday, June IS. Some peo-
pie might demur at beginning voyage
on the 18th of the month, but the ex-
allied mind of the tfeosophist passes
lightly over such trivialities. Even the
newest cheia would not think about
bothering over a matter of that kind.
