THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER.

This:-We live under circumstances
and amid conditions over which we
never had, have not, and never can have
control. The rain falls upon the just
and the unjust alike, if it falls at all,
and no effort of ours can make it other
wise. The air we breathe, the food we
eat, the water we drink, and without
which we cannot exist, contains germs
which produce disease and death.
Famine and pestilence stalk abroad,
the gaunt skeleton of one and the hot
breath of the other sweeping its help
less victims into shallow graves. We
see the family circle broken as the
loved ones wilt down beside us, and
when we cry out in anguish the voice
falls on an echoless waste. We look in
the glass and are startled to note the
changes in our own persons. Genera
tions have swarmed the earth like
grasshoppers, sometimes as useless,
only filling connecting link between
past and future. No word or act of
theirs has made the world better or les
sened its misery. Nothing lives after
them except the fact they once existed,
and that only known because the race
is not cut off.
That:-"The mill will never grind
again with the water that is past. }"
There are times when we do not know
which way to turn. We reach two
folks in the road and cannot tell which
one to take. Neither can we remain
where we are. Irresistible fate is push
ing us on. The pendulum continues to
swing, the sun continues its course and
shadows lengtLen. Presently we dis
cover we have taken the wrong road
but we cannot go back. The eaglet can
never again be Gagged in his shell. Nc
one can again reach the place from
whence he started. Some continue the
course hoping there may be turn un
til they sink in despair. With the loss
of time, fortune, or reputation and thu
endurance of much suffering some ma!
cut across lots and regain the righ
road. We do not like to admit ou
weakness or that we are not the full
masters of ourselves and the situation
in which we may be placed. Pride re
bells against the thought that we are

, stances; but when the thunderbolt i

THE ROMANCE OF LIFE.

There is not life so dark, so strand
ed, not one so utterly destitute and
barren, as to be entirely devoid OF ro-
nance. In all nature, III truth, in
virtue and religion we find the germs
of romance. 1t is the cords of silken
texture, the subtle restraining force of
chivalry, of gallantry, that causes the
male to bow to the female in mankind.
It is the inner, the better, the nobler
self in man.
Born of virtuous soul, and reared
in truth and purity, romance is the off
spring of religion. The romantic soul,
the sentimental person, is of higher
mould than the one that is narrowed
down to the commonplace things of
life. We have faith in the romantic,
the more beautiful, the sweeter side of
life. We see in the longing for better
things heart that is filled with sweet
ness, and possessed of riches and Sc
cret chambers where the angels dwell,
and cords that lead to the divinity lay
hold
Religion is based on faith, and faith
is clad in garments of romantic tex
ture. "God is love-" sayeth the good
book, and love is the cornerstone OF
romance, of sentiment. We cannot
turn these things out of our hearts

sweeps the earth, we may be in the
track.
The Other:-And yet, men are not
wholly the victims of relentless fate.
Errors of judgment and a lack of
knowledge often produce dire results,
which otherwise would have been
avoided. In 1849, emigrants were
swarming to California. One party of
about eighty from different parts of
the country was organized in Salt Lake,
and hired guide to take them across
the desolate regions to the land of gold.
Soon after starting, a division arose
among them, perhaps encouraged by
jealousy Another man claimed to
know the way, and constantly asserted
the guide was not leading in the right
direction. Eventually about thirty of
the party seeded and formed another
train, selecting the new man for
guide, on his own recommendation
He led them waterless into desert two
hundred and fifty feet below sea level.
In that trackless solitude with the tenn
perature beneath their wagon cover
ings at one hundred and forty, where
there was no voice or bird, insect or
creeping thing, the very footballs muf-
fled by the treacherous quicksands;
where no beast of prey ventures, and
the eagles flight is unseen; nearly all
with their stock perished with thirst
A rescuing party covered their poor re-
mains from the blistering sun, where
not even the vulture and the coyote
dare seek the feast. 1t is now known
that they need not have perished. Half
an hours digging would have reached
water and saved their lives. But the
long row of headboards and the wagon
wrecks and glistening bones of cattle
strewn about preserved by the arid at
mosphere, all tell that they did not
know that. They took the wrong road
and before being reached by rescuing
party their winding sheet and memo
rial was the death valley.
In the journey Of life God only knows
how many go down into the valley and
perish. 1t is the privilege of men to be
industrious and intelligent in efforts of
gaining useful information and alb
staining from unnecessary rashness
) Understanding our helpfulness and
helplessness we recognize the value and
necessity of fraternal assistance. Ever
ready to give what we hope we may not
require, yet we remember that in the
twinkling Of an eye the strong may be
laid PROSTATE and the proud brought
low. Following counsels ever at hand
never forgetting the lessons, paying at
tention to instructions and making dill
ligent efforts to qualify for instructing
y we need not fear the death valley

The theory of breaking the will of
the child, in which parents and teach
ers indulge, is viciously wrong. The
desire of some people to WELD the
same power over children as they do
over a horse is not only foolish, but
criminal. Children must be trained,
not driven. The migrating of respon-
sibility, teaching of manners and the
up-building of individuality should be
the objects of discipline. The forma-
tion of character begins in childhood,
and in it's development the will must
be permitted to assert itself, within the
bounds of good behavior. Good ex-
ample is the soul of instruction. When
the child is told one thing and sees it
contradicted in action and expression,
the idea he forms of its value is fatal
to its acceptance. What parent
should endeavOr to inculcate is trust
in the child; the feeling that every
lesson taught and every punishment
inflicted is for his own good. When
this dependence on the advice of its
parent becomes fixed, filial regard
possesses the child and restrains bad
influences from training this impress
sionable nature. The rewards of child
hood should never be withheld when
deserved, as the, disappointment that
follows when they are expected will
weaken both trust and regard.
The discipline that guides the child
is what makes the man. If too exact
ing it overshoots the mark, and leaves
him incapable of asserting what he
believes to be his rights. Mildness
with frmness should guide discipline
in training the young K. M.

FALSE METHODS.

Many philanthropists spend large
portion of their time in trying to "re-
claim women, while they do nothing
towards improving the conditions un-
der which women work. The immor-
ality in our streets, properly under
stood, is an effect rather than cause.
1t is the effect, in many Instances, OF
women working from dawn until eve,
under conditions in conflict with every
sense of decency and comfort. 1t is
the effect of the starvation wages
which drives many in despair of earn
ing an honest living, to exc out pre-
carious existence by means of the
streets.
To check this hydraheaded evil, re-
ligious bodies, philanthropic agencies,
srescue' committees, all are striving
with comparatively little success. All
honor to their efforts, for whether they
succeed or whether they fail, the mo-
tive which animates them at least is
good. But it cannot be too clearly
pointed out that the real keynote of
the question is an industrial one. Un-
til something has been done to place
the price of these poor women's labor
upon fair level, we cannot hope that
they will be able to lead, by honest
toll, virtuous and self-respecting lives
Some sudden stroke of misfortune
has compelled many poor girls to &C
out into the world unprepared to fight
the battle of life alone. They have beer
taught nothing practical, at least not
we'll taught, and in this age only the
fittest survive. They look about them
frightened, helpless and inefficient. A
girl may have visions of little home
of her own where she will reign su
preme as queen; but before that hap
pens, she must do something TOWARD
supporting herself and, perhaps, others
She seeks position where she will

What is sweeter or stronger than the
loves of youth, and yet, about which is
there more of glamour of romance?
10 the aged there is a romance, and
the faith that reaches out to lay hold
of the stars and the heaven of rest be-
yond is guyed up all the way with ro-
mantle sentiment.
1t is the hope of something better,
the faith in Immortality, born OF an
inner spirit that is akin to it's creator,
that makes mankind religious, and
causes us to reach out and try to solve
the problem of future existence.
Rob us of romance, take away our
dreams of a happy future, and the base
of all religion is sapped, and then, in
truth, doth man return to the clay
from whence he came.
But we do not believe that it was
ever so willed by the Creator. We be-
lieve that the spirit He implanted in us
was put there to live, and grow, to ex-
pand and reach out, until finally it
shall burst the bands of its narrow con-
fines here and flow out to that great
hereafter of which it is of itself part.

PARENTAL DISCIPLINE.

The point to which parental disci-
pline may go is subject of study. 1t
is agreed, of course, that parents have
natural authority over the child, and
the exercise of this authority is duty to
themselves, the child and society.
Discipline implies ready obedience to
orders of which the reason is not un-
derstood, but it should always rest on
the belief that the orders are given for
sufficient reasons, and not for the mere
satisfaction of seeing them Obeyed.
