FOND DREAMS.

There are some good people who log
hope in this worlds disheartenments. Thell
souls are graves full Of buried things. Dowp
into these dark sepulchres have gone early
dreams. visions OF beauty. sweet thoughts
noble intentions. sacred feelings, brilliant
expectations. They bow in sadness over
their dead, saying: There Is no use II
my going on. Life is empty for me now.
There is nothing left worth living
Tor Every sweet flower has faded.
Christian faith should dispel every such
feeling. Into the grave Of Jesus went on,
evening the sweetest hopes, the hottest
loves, the gentlest thoughts, the brightest
visions, the fondest dreams, OF little COM
pany Of loyal friends. At that grave, as the
sun sank low, weeping ones stood saying.
"All our hearts hopes lie buried there, all
our Joy, all our love-" But three days
later that grave was opened, and these
buried hopes, Joys, and affections were
raised up and lived again in blessed glad
ness. What the friends Of Jesus thought
they had lest forever they had not lost at
all. Their hearts treasures were only
buried that they might spring up in i'm,
mortal beauty. The dull seeds became
glorious Easter lilies. So will 1t be with all
the precious things Of Christian faith which
seem to perish. In Christ nothing that is
good or lovely can be really lost. The
dreams of youth which meant 80 much to
Us, and which we seem to have lost-they
have served their purpose, and are lost only
as blossoms are lost when they fall away to
give place to the FRUIT. r. Miller, d. D.

GOD DUB DWELLING PLACE.

He who dwells in God need feel no un-
easiness as to the permanence OF his habita-
ton, for its knows no decay. He will not
be alarmed at the assault Of enemies, what
ever their number, for the pavilion OF the
Most High is an impregnable fortress. He
will have no occasion to seek comfort or
ease elsewhere, for the perfect appointments
Of this magnificent palace leave nothing to
be desired. When locked In the pri-
vacy of this delightful home he can
throw of all restraint, lay bare his breast,
and tell out his secrets. It is the hallowed
spot where he can lavish his love and give
full play to every right affection. How glori-
Gus dwelling place is God-rest for the
weary, Joy for the sorrowing, strength for
the weak! Who find in Him their habita-
tion? He that dwelleth in love dwell
eth In God" "Whosoever shall confess
that Jesus is the son Of God dwelleth In
God" "He that keepeth His command
ments dwelleth in Him." Hereby know
we that we dwell In Him because He hath
given US OF His Spirit" Love, faith and
obedience-three forms of the one essential
thing, thorough loyalty to the Lord-give
us clear title to this mansion, in the skies
and on the earth, here and hereafter, the
same yesterday, today and forever. "Lord
Thou hast been our dwelling-plsce in all
generations"

HAPPINESS AND GREATNESS.

It is OF no use for person who Is not
ha5itually happy to count himself either
very good or very great; for his gloom con.
ricts him as lacking In faith and hope and
love. And most surely no one amounts to
much who does not excel in all three OF
these things. They are fundamental to high
character. Little goodness without much
love and he in whom love abounds will
certainly be glad. for in making others
happy he cannot fail to be happy himself.
Little goodness if faith be small ; for faith
puts US in touch with God, who Is the
sole source OF virtue, and a vigorous
faith scatters the clouds, making sunshine
in the soul. The man whose hope is scanty.
who looks on the dark side Of things and
takes sad views, will, OF course. be sad. and
must to some degree be bad, for he disre-
CARDS the commandment of God who says,
"Rejoice." And as to true greatness, Christ
settles that, and rules out the unhappy by
putting the crown on those who serve
They who are occupied in genuine ministra-
tion to the needs Of others have 80 little
lime or disposition to think of self. that it is
impossible for them to be unhappy.

TEMPERANCE
WHERE DRINKS WORST RESULTS ARE SEEN

WHERE DRINKS WORST RESULTS ARE SEEN
The notion has sometimes prevailed that
all the evils of intempe1ance are the result OF
the debasing influence of the saloon, says
Rev. j. NJ. C!eary, President OF the National
Union C. T. A. The saloon, no DOUBT, is
much to blame for the widespread ex-
tent OF excessive drinking, but tno ga
loon Is not wholly to blame. The saloon ex-
erts marvellous ingenuity in not only cater
ing to an appetite already well developed,
but also In cultivating new and insatiaIie
appetites for intoxicants. The prohts OF tne
suloon from ministering to anything IKE
Reasonable or legitimate demand for intoxi-
eants would, indeed, be discouraginglY

The contributions OF those who demand
drink to still the cravings of an appetite ols-
eased and destructive, that has s1lenced con-
science and trampled upon reason.
Habitual drinking in the home, with tne
usual bad example. is sad and prohnc
cause Of the sin OF drunkenness. Many an
uncomfortable appetite for strong drink has
been created in the homo into which into3l-
cants freely and frequently enter. Many
heart broken mothers have only themselves

ward sons, because they did not protect
them in time by sufficient safeguards against
the insidious danger OF drink. Some wo-
men. alas, are not wholly free from the
fiphtful curse of this most destructive ap-
petite. It is in the home. or In the social
circle, that this fatal iondness found Its
arst encouragement. The saloon will not
entertain any scruples at enriching Itself
from the reckless contributions OF untortun-
ate and degraded women. But the & saloon
does not make women drunkards. With all
its foul sins to account for, this, at least, can
not be- laid to its door.
The vilest result OF drinks terrible Work
must be traced to the homes invaded by the
evil. How important 1t is. therefore. tnas
the homes Of the people should be freed
from this poisonous danger. Our gooo,

NOTHING FOR THE ENGLISH COUSIN.
An Alien Prevented from Getting s3oo'ooo
of Ii Q Wadsworth Estate.

Justice Nash handed down his decision at
Rochester. N. Y. in the contest overthe estate
Of James Wadsworth, in which he decided
adversely to the claims OF Charles ]. Murray.
the English grandson OF the testator. james
Wadsworth died In 1S45 In Geneseo, Living.
ston County, leaving large estate. A part
of his estate, amounting to $500, 900, was LETT
in trust to his grandson, Marin Brlmmer. OF
Boston, during bis lifetime.
Martin Brmmer died several months ago
and the question arose as to the disposition
Of this $50 1000 held In trust. Martin Brim-
mer left no children and the following claims
we're put In by heirs: One-third to Austin
and Herbert Wadswortn, children of William
Wadsworth, q son Of the testator; one-third
TO the children OF the late General James 8.
Wadsworth, including Congressman James
". Wadsworth, and one-third to Charles J.
Murray, an English son OF q deceased daugh'
ter of the testator.
The claims of the Englishman were op.
posed by his American cousins on the ground
that Murray could not inherit his mothers
interest on account Of allenage. The result
Is that the sSG0. 900. which was to have gone
to Murray will be divided as follows: $780,
QUO 10 tho children OF William Wadsworth; !;
s1OO 900 to the children OF James s. Wads-
worth and $4,000 to the heirs Of Martin

LONG HAIR CAUSED A ROW.
Citizens OF Oakland, California, ObJectou
to Paderewaskian Letter Carrier.

to Paderewaskian Letter Carrier.
Postmaster White, Of Oakland, CAL, has
been called upon to decide one OF the most
interesting questions ever submitted 70 MIN
In I'm official capacity. 80
It is whether or not Lehman P. Daare, a let
ter carrier, can be compelled to have his halr
cut.
Baare's locks have been the cause OF numer-
Gus complaints from ladies and gentlemen
who have come in contact with the strange
young man. Being a clever pianist Banre,
some two years ago decided to let his hair
grow with the apparent idea OF initiating
Paderewski. SO Objectionable was Mr.: Baare
with his flowing locks to the people OF OAK
land that the young man became involved IN
a street fight one day with q youth VINO
whistlad "Johnny Get Your Hair Cut, as
the letter carrier passed by.
In orderto sooth the public comment, POST
mastar White placed Baare on the night shit.
This move only made matters worse. Tor
after soaring doctor and several women
who were unableto determine his sex, more
complaints we're lodged.
Finally the postmaster suggested tnat the
long hair be allowed to wave.tn the oreeze
while Baare WAS off duty, but when he ap-
peared In the uniform Of letter carrier the
raven locks should be rolled up in knot and
hidden by tall cap. Basre readily agreed
to this and now appears each day with Ms
hair done up and hidden from view.
