Bill Nye used the following Ian
guage for the spring OF 1888, but it
will apply to this spring as well:
Spring is here. 1t has been here
before, but not so much as it is now
This is the season of the year when
the robins nest again and the wild
goose wends his weary way north.
1t is now that the husband and faith
er goes up into the attic to get the
screen doors and windows to fool the
annual fly when he makes his spring
debut. He finds them in the gloom
and cobwebs. He also finds the
rafter with his head, andlanguaget to
express his feelings with. When he
comes down again he has two new
intellectual faculties sticking out on
his brow like buttons on a barn door

REPUBLICAN, RESOLUTIONS.

Following are the resolutions pass
ed at the republican state conven-
ton held at Huron March 25th:
eve ire faithfully welded to the
great principles of protection by
every tie of party fealty, and more
devoted supporters among the great
masses OF American people, irrespec-
tive OF party, than at. any other pre-
yious period in our national history.
1t is ever recognized and endorsed as
the great masterful, triumphant
American principal, the key to our
prosperity in business and the safest
prop to the treasury of the United
States and the bulwark of our ma
tional independence and financial
honor.
Whereas, there is u diversity of
opinion among the republicans of
the state upont the financial question:
and, whereas, we have perfect conf
dence in the wisdom and patriotism
OF the republican party that shall
assemble mt st. Louis next June that
it will consider and adopt a platform
broad and strong enough for every
republican to stand upon; Therefore
we reatfirm our devotion ana LOYALTY
60 the platform adopted ut Minneap-
Oils in 1892 and adopt it as our
platform until the national republi-
can convention shall give us another.
'Resolved, that those persons Sc
lected as delegates to represent the
people OF this state in the coming ma
tional convention to be held at st.
Louis be and they are hereby in
structed to use every legitimate and
honorable means ut their command
to secure by that convention the
presidential nomination of William
Mckinley as the standard bearer of
our party in the approaching cam
paign.

The appearance OF eX-president
Rarrison's name onthe political hor-

pointed to by some as an indication
that Mckinley's boom has subsidized.
1t would more naturally appear to
be one last kick from the opposition
to Major Mckinley. They have tried
favorite sons and other deals and all
have come to naUght.

HIGH AND WORTHY ENDS.

These high and precious and holy gifts
of God should be used for an end cores
pondingly high and worthy and holy.
Such high and worthy end is not difficult
to find or to realize. 1t is not necessary to
60 out of our way in quest of something re-
markable, unfamiliar or extravaganza. This
high and worthy end is secured in the lives
of thousands of men and women who are
engaged in the plainest and most ordinary
routine OF duties, duties Of the home, du-
ties of the farm, duties of the workshops or
duties OF the school room. The only inds-
pensable condition for attaining to such an
end is that of having spirit of the genuine
love to God and love to man, a spirit of
conservation, obedience and unseltish ser
vice, in one word, the spirit of the Lord
Jesus Christ, Such spirit when properly
possessed and applied will certainly elevate
our lives to that which is truly high and
direct them to that which is noble and
worthy. And the end, the result of such a
life will be the manifestation and enjoy
ment of the glory of God, the establish
ment of His kingdom, the triumph of the
true and right and good, aud the salvation
and spiritual welfare of souls Christian

Wherefore indulge unreasonable sorrows
which benefit no one, fret thyself and dis

there is ground for hope. The Lord cannot

praise him." Times of complaint will
soon end and seasons Of praise begin. Come,
heart, look out of the window, borrow the
telescope glass, forecast little, and
sweeten thy chamber with sprigs of the
sweet herb of hope. 'Who is the health Of

THE PRICE OF A SOUL.

Every child is a bundle of tremendous

heaven, or whether across it shall jar
eternal dscords and after life of wrong
doing on earth it shall 20 to home of
impenetrable darkness and an abyss of i'm

ing prayer, and walk and ride and look
and frown and smile. o, how many child

THE HYMNS OF THE CHURCH.

1t is something to be thankful for that
there are so many really fine hymns, and
that so many hymns, which in whole or in
part are not of the best, have been so fruit
full of blessing. A high standard ought to
be maintained, but not in finical spirit
Thousands have found spiritual help in
hymns which in themselves are open to
severe criticism, but which at least have
trained people to love sacred song and often
to prefer the best of it.
1t is an old saying that the devil cannot
abide good hymn and fees when he hears
one Certainly, nothing else except prayer
is more trustworthy source of hel p in sore
temptation or sorrow. 1t is well for us all
even for those who cannot sing. to familiar
ize ourselves with good hymns, for they
are ceaseless source Of comfort and
strength. -Congregationalis

BELIEF.

Children of night, half fearful, unresting,
o World full of echoes and voices of old,
Cease from slight knowledge! o cease from
your questing,
Be doubtings dispelled
Strange always and vague; oft full of dread
meaning
The glimpses of knowledge that erst we re-
ceive;
o! to go onward all happiness cleaning
And just to believe!
Just to come back to tranquil believing
In Justice supreme beyond lifes petty span,
That on thro' the ages is ever retrieving,
Injustice of man.
Just to believe that Truth is eternal.
Just to believe that Right governs Wrong,
Just to believe in Wisdom supernal,
Almighty and strong.
Just to know calm in the poor fevered spirit,
Resting, believing, that some blessed day
All the toil-burden that man doth inherit
Shall vanish away.
May it not be when the struggle is ended,
And darkness shall merge into fullness of
light,
That be who in paths of true knowledge hath
wended
Believed without sight?

do now will live with us, and outlive

he sings, the marvellous lyric or the sub
