HERE AND THERE A GEM.

1t is much safer to have the devils
war than his peace.-Ram's Horn.
The sight of the cross makes it no
cross to bear the cross.-Joseph Cook.
Life appears to me too short to De
spent in nursing animosity or register
ing wrongs.-Bronte.
Let no knowledge satisfy but that
which lifts above the world, which
makes the world a footstool.-Spur-
geon.
No Christian can enjoy high de-
gree of happiness. if he is not doing
anything to make other people happy
United Presbyterian.
Most people dread far more the
social frown which follows the doing of
something conventionally wrong than
they do the qualms of conscience which
follow the doing of something intrin-
sically wrong.-Herbert Spencer.
People go 70 extremes in eating and
drinking, recreation and the selection
of wearing apparel. Practice modera-
ton in all things. God has given US
freedom, but not excess of any kind
Rev. j. H. Craig.
There is evil enough in man, God
knows! But it is not the mission of
every young man and woman to detail
and report it all. Keep the atmosphere
as pure as possible and fragrant with
gentleness and charity.-Dr. John Hall.
If we cannot love the unlovely there
is no Cod, and all our Christian fs ith is
cruel, hooking delusion. We are not
made for law, but for love. No man
who is Indifferent 10 his neighbor has
the love of God in his heart.-Rev. B. r.
Mills.

On July 4. 1921, the fact that only
four of the signers of the Declaration of
Independence were still living was no
ticed in many of the newspapers of the
time. Thirty days afterward, one of
them, William Floyd, of New York, was
dead. The death of John Adams and
Thomas Jefferson on July A, 1926, left
Charles Carroll the last surviving
signer. He lived almost seven years
passed the age of 80 years, in the pres
ence of a vast concourse of spectators,
and attended by an imposing civic pro-
cession, he laid the cornerstone of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad. He died
November IA, 1882, at the age of 95 years.
1t is customary to suppose that only
the lower and middle classes embraced
the cause of liberty in the revolutionary
contest. But this opinion is not war
ranted by the facts. Many of the
wealthiest men in the colonies were
ardent patriots. Washington and the
Lees, of Virginia, were wealthy men.
John Hancock and Robert Norris were
each the most affiuent individual in his
respective state. The Livingstons, of
New York, ranked among the greatest
landholders in the country. But of all
the patriots of the revolution, none
risked so much, none had so much to
lose, as Charles Carroll, of Carrollton.
1t is pleasant to know that he handed
down an undiminished estate to his
children, one of whom was subsequent
ly governor of his native state. And the
name is still one of honor in Maryland.
Fred Myron Colby, in Golden Days.

nineteenth-century way
To celebrate the glorious date of indie
pendence day;
OR let him toll and strain and strive in
some athletic game,
Or else beneath a broiling sun sit down to
watch the same,
Or join the hot, perspiring crowds on an
excursion boat
That think they must be happy Just be-
cause they are af1oat; ..-
Or let him do thousand things that eager
minds invent
To lure the wary dollar and corral the nim-

be gay,
Because" thinks he, 81 ought to be-"
but doesn't know the way.
But let me rather steal away to some Sc
cluded spot,
Where, lost in sylvan solitudes, with all
lifes cares forgot,
Unmoved by moss grown custom, or by
what the neighbors say,
HI celebrate, at any rate my Independence
day.

Free Coinage and the Farm.

We wish to call the attention of our
subscribers to that pioneer free silver
paper, the Farm, Field ard Fireside of
Chicago. For eight years its editors
have been urging this great issue, and
now that the movement has attained
such vast proportions and they are
making greater efforts than I'VE to
spread the light, it is just to them that
every believer in American money for
Americans should lend his best efforts
towards extending the circulation OF
the Farm. Field and Fireside.
Besides it is a simple fact that as an
agricultural weekly it has no superior,
and few equals. We advise u readers
to avail themselves of this special cam
paign offer of only 10 cents per sub
scriber until election time, or 25 cents
for the balance of the year. Sample
copies of the paper and free coinage
litature will be sent to all who make
application. Address Farm, Field and
Fireside. Chicago.
