POLITICS IN TIE FUTURE.
DEADLY LOVE LETTERS WILL BE USED
TO PREVENT PERSONALITIES.

''To what am | indebted for the
honor AT this call?i
1t was Mrs. Ellen Mary Ricketts,
who spoke. She held in her hand the
card Of Mrs. Eliza JcnkinsOn, which
had Just been laid on her desk by
the Office girl, for the card was fol-
lowed almost instantly 10y the en-
trance of the person whose name it
bore.
There was really no necessity for the
use OF the card. either. for the two had
frequently met, says the New York
Telegram.
Mrs. Ricketts, was the candidate for
Congress of the optional headgear par
ty, while Mrs. Jenkinson was the non
cuspidor nominee. Under the circum-
stances it was natural for her to be
surprised at receiving 4 call from her
opponent.

"Pray proceed"

ty, that your agents are bent upon a
campaign Of personalities, and that
they intend to give to the press GER
Tain slandcrOus gossip about me, cal.
culatcd to injure MY candidature.'
The speaker paused, and Mrs. Rick
etts said intcrrugatively:
"Well?"
"Well,' echoed Mrs. J~cnkinsOn, ''wt
must keep personalities out of the
campaign"
I'VE must, must we?"
"We must"
Mrs. Ricketts, snered.
Mrs. Jenkinson waxed wroth.
Look here, Mary Ellen Ricketts,,

up your snub nose at me, now"

Ricketts,, ''my nose is not a snub, an

WHERE THE PLOUGH SHALL
FAIL TO GO.
py REV. C. II. STURGEON.

-
In my young days farmers used to
leave broad llcadlands: and, as there
were plenty fgood-for-nothing hedges
and bitches, they raised n prime crop
Of weeds, and these used to SOW the
farm and give a heap of trouble.
Wedding is wanted now, for i'll
weeds grow apace, and the hoe must
always go; but still, lands arc a fine
sight cleaner than they used to be,
for now farmers go a deal closer tn
work, and grub up the hedges and
make large fields, to save every bit OF
land. Quite right, too. The less
there is wasted the more there is for
us all.
ITO clothe the fields with plenty and all our barns
endow,
Wen turn up every corner and drive the useful
plough.
No weed shall haunt the furrow, before MS all shall
bow.
Wen daily yield our labor to guide the useful
plough"
1t would be we'll to do the same
thing in other concerns. Depend up
on it. weeds will come up whenever
you give them half a chance. When
children have no school to go to they
will pretty soon be up to mischief;
and II they are not taught the gospel,
the old enemy will soon teach them
to thieve and lie and swear. You can
tell with your eyes shut where there's
a school and where there's none: only
use your ears and hear the young one:
talk.
So far goes the plough, and where
that leaves of the docks and the this
ties begin, as sure as dirt comes where
there's no washing, and mice wher'
there are no cats. They tell me tina
in London and other big towns vic
and crime are sur to spread wher
there are no ragged schools and Sun
d~ay-schools; and l don't wonder.
hope the day will never come whel
good people will give up teaching til
boys and girls. Keep that plough e
ing, say |, till you have cut up all til
charlock. Don't leave a rod of grOun
for the devil to sow his tares in. l
my young time few people in our pa
ish could either read or write, an
what were they to do but gossip. an
drink and fight, and play old goose
berry? Now that teaching is to /
had, people will all be scholars, ant
as they can buy a Testament for
penny, l hope they may search tn
Scriptures, and may God bless til
Word to the cleansing Of their Souls
When the sclloolmaster gets to hi
work IN downright earnest, | hop
and trust there will be a wonderfu
clearance Of the weeds.
The best plough in all the world
the preaching of the gospel. Leave
village without Christ cruciticd and
soon becomes Il great tanglc Of thorl
and bricr, and brake and brandt,
but when sound and sensible preacl
ing comes, it tears all up like a stcal
plough. and the change is somcthin
to sing about. ''The desert shall r.
joice and blossom as the rose"
Inside a mans heart there is nee
of a thorough ploughing by God
grace, for if any part of our nature
left to itself, the weeds of sin vi
smother the soul. Every day We hal
need to be looked after, for folli,
grow In no time, and come TO- a gre;
head before you can count invent
God speed the plough.

There is an ancient legend that says
a woman's living heart was M i'm
prisoned in a milk-wllite stone, and
the throb Of its passion and it's pain
shonc through the half-opaque surface
and made it dart and flash and fluttcr
with fame color and rose and violet
and golden tints. Sometimes it beat
high with hope, and the surface was
| radiant with light; frequently sorrow
oppressed it. and it's rays we're fainter
and less glowing. There Gems no
more beautiful or more fitting uss0cia-
ton for the lovely opal to have. 1t

matter low small the stone, if it be of
puic origin, the colors are as perfect
and as varying as in larger specimens.

VISITING PLAYERS UNFAMILIAR WITH THE Moh-
RIsrowN coURsE-INcIDENTs OF THE
coNTMT-oTHER GOLF GAMES.
The result of the team match yesterday at Nor
rstown between the Tuxedo and Morris County
golf clubs, was a victory for the latter organiza-
ton, and hence complete reversal OF what hau
been expected Even the Morris County players
themselves had cherished small hopes or Deauhs
their antagonists. who until yesterday have met
with remarkable success this season. II was an
other proof Of how much harm unfam!farity with
the ground can work. On the long and compare
lively open holes the Tuxedo men managed falty
well, showing their abilities drivers. But on the
sho t. tricky places OF the course they were entirely
AT loss The hazards puzzled them. and the dlrec
tion was not always clearly understood. Another
difficulty came when the putting greens were
reached. At Morristown these are clipped so close
that they are what golfers term extremely fast
while at Tuxedo the players have been accustomed
