load, slowly and painfully gliding down
the stream of life till death ushers him
out upon the great endless expanse of
eternity, there only to find the healing
qualities against lifetime of habitual
abuse. We cannot find adjectives
strong enough to warn the reader of
cultivating a contrary spirit. The de-
nunciation comes in thunder tones.
AS we SOW so shall we reap. Under
this sense if we SOW to contented
mind, we shall reap the bliss of being
contented with whatever our hands
find to do. On the other, if we neglect
to conquer that part of our sin-beset
life, which is subject to contrary mo-
tives, we subject ourselves to the con-
tempt and punishment we so justly
deserve. If we sow to the flesh, we shall
Of the flesh reap corruption. If we
sow to the spirit, we shall of the spirit
reap life everlasting. These are words
beyond successful contradiction, as they
come from perfect authority. Here
comes the skeptic though, but with
all his slippery glib, he can never make
one hair black or white.-Cincinnat
Enquirer.

Why should person make himself
nuisance? What gain is there in
grimness, and sourness, and unsocia-
bility? Few people care to listen to
whining and complaint. On the whole
the world uses us as we'll as we de-
serve. 1t is very hard for the defeated
to admit this, but it is fact never
theless, and, if only admitted, one of
the chief reasons for defeat is removed.
A cheerful philosophy is an important
element of success. He who is per-
petually suspecting others of ill-treat-
ing him and keeping him down is not
a welcome companion. Suspicion is
usually folly as we'll as injustice and
unhappiness. Moreover, gladness is
one of the great rules of health. TO
be we'll, be glad. To be courted, be
jolly, it is easy for the average man to
haste by, or at least to avoid, the un-
happy. Nobody wants deaths head
at the table, Nobody considers him
self regaled when forced to listen to
other peoples wrongs and sights,
most of them imaginary or exagger-
ated by over-sensitive conceit. Every
man is of less Importance to the world
around him than he likes to think.
But he can easily test it by asking how
much he himself dwells upon the con-
ditions of others. BY as much as their
grievances do not particularly concern
him, by so much his own are matters
of Indifference to them. So let him be
pleasant, bury his sorrows, pocket his
affronts, make himself agreeable, trust
in Providence, and thankfully take
what comes.-Zion's Herald.

cried to the emissarieS of the accurSed
tyrant that was conspiring to enthrall
them, Halt" The bugle blast was
heard, the forces of prohibition mar
shalled; the mighty agencies of hell fell
before the onward march of truth and
right, until at last prohibition in
triumph was crowned with beautiful
coronet, studded with the lives of re-
deemed drunkards, while amidst the
shouts OF the assembled multitudeS the
cruel oppressor was seized by the
throat and upon his bloated forehead
was stamped the burning titles of his
shame, and henceforth he was sent
from our land a branded usurper.
Intemperance has shown a determi-
nation to grow, and in our land today
seems stronger than ever before. 1t is
making our laws; it is running PERM
cious, injurious dens of iniquity. But
there is hope of its downfall. Business
men, both young and old, are awaken
ing to it's ravages, and are coming to-
gather to a common defense. This
gathering army is the hope of our
country, and has in it enough of po-
tency to overthrow this giant evil of
the 10Th century. Let us be profound
ly impressed with theaggressive power
of the Liquor Traffic and it's over
whelming evils, and let us present
strong front and eradicate it from our
land; then, when this is done, with glad
hearts we can hymn anew:

Sweet land of liberty,

Land where our fathers died.
Land of the pilgrims pride.

THE GOLDEN AGE.

Roll on o SLOW wheeled years. and bring the day
When men shall gather wealth TO give away;
And spring to help when tempted nature falls.
AS when builder drops from city walls
When to do good alone men shall be bold,
And seek out sutf ring as they seek for gOld
When Christian women shall not wipe their feet
Upon their fallen sisters in the street;
And calumny shall be crime unknown;
And each shall make his neighbOr's wrong his
own!
Begone! o Hate, and Wrong, and War. begone!
Roll on this way o Golden Age! roll on!
When Men and Angels face to face shall talk,
And Earth and Heaven arm in arm shall walk 4;
When Love shall reign, and over sea and shore,
The Peace of God shall reign fOrevermOre!

THE CONTRARY INDIVIDUAL.

The most detestable and wearisome
creature with whom the peaceful and
law-abiding public is sometimes COM
PEELED to deal, is the man or woman
who is never in harmony with any un-
dertaking, however, profitable or pleas
ant the undertaking may be. They
cast dark shadows over everybody with
whom they come in contact. Their
conversation runs on the dark side of
everything. They discourage public
enterprise. They cause two blades of
grass to wither and die, where three
healthy blades grew luxuriantly before.
They carry faces as long and dry as
swords. They would make us believe
that wrong will triumph over right IN
all cases; that the country and society
is going to the dogs; that the financial
situation next year will be worse than
we have ever known. How silly to
hear people talk so. 1t not only re-
sembles the british or rougher nature,
but is clear mark Of insolence and
bad manners. Their presence demor-
alizes every one who comes under the
blighting effect. No matter how pros
porous the times or how bright may be
the prospects for investment, they will
sing the same old songs as of yore.
The heart and mind having run in that
direction for so long time they are
NV hn oh of
habit. The gloomy side of everything
is in front and hides from their gaze
the good the beautiful and the true.
Madness has taken full possession of
their lives and no tender feeling for the
careworn part of humanity can be
found in their anatomy. With them
the wrong side of everything is up.
If they do turn up something, it is more
than likely that they will discourage
any one else in the same undertaking
though the prospect for better find
might be in reaching distance if the
proper effort was used to secure it
They claim special space in the com
munity and demand that all things
should stop for them to pass by; pre-
cedence for their right to be heard re
garding questions of either public OF
private interest. Hope in this worl(
or in the one to come, is an unknown
quantity. Disappointment turks il
every shadow, no matter how smooth
ly or perfectly the delicate machiner.
of the business world may NOV

direction Of things going the wrons

following lines are very appropriate:
AS rule, mans fool.
When it's hot he wants it cool,
When it's cool he wants it hot,
Always wanting what is not
Never satisfied with what he's got.

THE MONARCH OF THE CENTURY

Amidst the conflicting movements of
human affairs the ability of great men
to control and direct human progress
is almost unlimited. The past fur
nishes the names of men who have ex-
erted mighty influence over all who
knew them; men who commanded the
services of thousands; men who dev
astated countries, making them sub
servient to their own will. We also
read of races Of people who rose up and
enlarged the boundaries Of their own
country and made them mpenetrable.
Slowly but surely, step by step, these
nations grew, and for time extended
their scepter over the world; then the
great storms of trial and adversity
swept down upon them, engulfing them
in the dark, surging pillows of oblivion,
leaving us nothing but the account Of
their deeds.
The history of nations is the history
OF despotic sway. Going back to the
very beginning of the authentic record
of events, we find the poor, tOiling,
wretched Egyptians reduced to con-
dition of abject slavery. Under the
rule of an impious and detestable
tyrant, these people were compelled to
erect the lofty pyramids, which con-
stitute one Of the great wonders of the
world. Observing this vast multitude
of toiers, can we discern any recogni-
tion of the rights of labor? Can we
see any reward for this great amount
of exertion? No; but on the con-
trary, we see host of men construct
ing those stupendous masses, exposed
to the most obnoxious impositions, and
receiving no compensation.
Again, turn to Babylon, and you
learn of nation that was completely
under the despOtic sway of cruel mas
ters. "Through the discovery in modern
times of ancient Babylonian tablets,
with an Interpretation by American
and European scholars, we get an in
sight into the history of the great
kingdom" What do we learn from
these? They tell us of people in
subsection, expending their strength
that the surrounding nations might
see the greatness of their potent rulers
They also inform us of the immense
, walls of the city; the brazen gates; the
the large, beautiful, and magnificent
,, palace of the king; and the wonderful
hanging gardens, all erected by grea
horde of men working as vassals, while
NebuchadneZZar, their lord exclaims
"Is this not great Babylon that l hav
built for the royal dwelling ce, b,
Q the might of my power and the glor,
:, of my majesty!'

Do not dwell on the past, and take
it's dried joys and steep them into a
cup of bitterness, and make that your

such a decoction. Do not sigh: "Oh!

preserve these faded flowers, but think
of the growing plants. Bloom is ever
coming on, if you will seek for it.

at night is worth as much on the dol.
