No man can "paddle his entire canoe"
down the stream of life by himself. 1t
is good thing to paddle your own
canoe, but it is better to assist someone
else in padding when that someone
needs you. No man can live for himself
alone, for each one in measure de-
pends upon his neighbor. The family
that is all for self will find that if they
persist in this kind of life for any
length of time, that when adversely
hits them, as it must hit every man and
every family some time, they will be
left to paddle for themselves.-Ex

MEN WANTED.

The great need of this age is men;
men who are not for sale; who will not
truckle to wealth nor power, but stand
up for right every time; men who are
honest-sound from center to circum-
ference-true to the hearts core-whom
wealth can not lure nor poverty drive
from the path of duty; men who can
not be bought nor sold, coaxed nor
fattered, cajoled nor driven from act
ing and maintaining what is right and
just; men who will condemn wrong in
high or low places-in friend or foe-in
himself as we'll as others-men who are
fearless in the cause of Truth, who will
stand firm though the heavens fall''
and face death like the Roman sentinel
at the gates of Pompeii; men who will
stand up for principle at all times and
under all circumstances-men who can
tell the truth and look the world and
the devil square in the eye-who neither
run nor flinches in the conflict for
Truth-men who can have courage
without shouting it, who know their
message and their mission and dare
tell it, whether popular or unpopular
who are the same every day, and have
as much religion each day in the week
as they have on Sunday, and do right
for the sake of right; men who are not
too lazy to work nor too proud to be
poor, and want nothing but what they
are entitled to; men who care more for
Right than for Riches; men who dare
call things by their right names, and
face multitude in a righteous cause
men who dare to do right and fear to
do wrong; men who endeavOr to make
the world better by their existence,
whose love of God is shown through
love of man; men who dare live up to
their honest conviction whether it be
popular or not, and who dare to do right
even if they are opposed by multi
tude of foes.-Muldrow Il. T.) Register.

THE COURSE THAT RUINS.

The young man in the high tide of
youthful vigor, flushed with that
healthful elasticity only obtained by
regularity, industry and the pure air
the home circle can give, pants for the
conflict with the fanciful world, the
rumble of which he hears, just as the
good soldier pants to participate in the
battle, the cannon and small arms of
which he hears the boom and rattle in
the distance Armed with his fathers
advice and mothers fearful blessing, he
sets his face towards the distant city,
firm in the resolution to bear himself
as becomes an honest son.
At this period of his life, all manner
of dishonesty, and "ways that are dark
and tricks that are vain," are as foreign
to his nature and thoughts as the de-
sire is to take the life of a ellowbeing.
He is swallowed up in the city's crowd,
and his individuality is as completely
lost as a little boat on the painless
ocean. He forms new acquaintances,
and is introduced to an entirely new
mode of life. His associates are genial,
full of animal life and spirits, and
although his daily routine is totally at
variance with his former habits and is
distasteful to him at first, he accepts
things in passive way. He looks
with species of mild horror on the
barroom and it's contents; his senses
sicken at the stencil of sour beer and
filth around the card tables and the
pungept fumes of liquor that all the
polish of the counter and the glittering
array of decanters and cut glass can
not disguise, and the ribald jests of it's
habitues cause feeling of disgust
difficult to describe Now surely this
is the time in his career when good
angels look on and tremble in doubt
and fear. He will follow one of two
roads-resolve to avoid such places al
together, or he will continue to visit
them occasionally for awhile, and final
ly as a custom. If the second course
is pursued, his path hencefOrth is easily
traced. His first glass possibly cider
is followed by wine, or beer. Then
comes the dice for the drinks or cigars
only for amusement you are to un.
derstand- then comes the cards. He
must learn to play billiards; and his
''kind friends" only too willingly teach
him the art, but not the tricks; he only
learns of them after his resources are
exhausted. He soon learns to play fol-
money, and falls an easy prey to his as
sociates. He goes on from bad to
| worse until he finds himself in bad OdO1
with his employers, and is discharged

PHOTOGRAPHY.

Photography, as it exists today, is IN
deed wonderful science and a beau
tiful art; and it's future is big with
possibilities. A little tleindependent think
ing will convince the most skeptical
of its boundless il huence on. the, hap
piness and advancement of the civil
lied world. At first, when Daguerre
succeeded in fixing an image on sill
yer plate, it served us we'll as curious
and profitable discovery. Results, how
ever, were very uncertain. 1t was not
until dry plates were introduced that
the infant science began to Outgrow
its knickerbockers and take on the
form of a giant. 1t thrust it's way into
all the multifariOus branches of sci
ence, and was found to be willing and
subtle servant; worth all the genii that
imagination has in its widest flights
produced. We have passed through the
stages of anxiety and encouragement
into one of enthusiasm, and today the
camera is in the hands of every tourist,
who thereby obtains pleasing souve-
Mrs of their various wanderings. Ev-
cry nook and corner of the world that
contains anything picturesque has sur
rendered its charm to the magic art.
Hundreds of beautiful productions
from the camera are daily half-toned
and presented through the various Pc
riOdicals to entertain the masses and
delight the lovers of art.
We cannot all be globe-trotters and
wander at will, to drink in the delights
of scenic grandeur, so lavishly bestowed
by mother nature; but our ever-ready
handmade, photography gathers up
all that is beautiful and grand, all that
is interesting or curious in natures
vast domain, for our entertainment
and instruction. A collection of pho
tographs with comprehensive article
descriptive of the scenes depicted, is
only second in the information and
pleasure derived to personal visit;
indeed it is often the photographs of a
place which make personal visit seem
desirable. I think it was Browning
who aptly said: "We are made so that
we love, first, when we see them painted
things we have passed, perhaps hun.
dred times, nor cared to see."
Among our ellow-craftsman, l be-
lieve there are none who do more to
add to the happiness of mankind than
the portrait photographer, and none
have done so much to advance this
most captivating art-science to its
present high standard. Photography
formerly trade, is now profession
and plays very important part in the
advancement of modern art and sculp
ture, not only in eliminating that
which is unreal, but in cultivating an
aesthetic taste in the masses and edu
eating them to better appreciation
of what is beautiful in life and oul
everyday surroundings, thereby Great

THE TEACHERS SOCIAL STANDING.

We still fail to get much light on the
question why the occupation Of teach
er involves the loss of social standing.
BY all analogy it should not be so.
The possessor of money ranks the
needy person. The one able to i'm
part knowledge ought to rank the one
destitute of it. This would happen in
society not artificial. Children, so
long as they take natural view of
life, look UP to their teacher. 1t is
only when they learn the artificial
values in life that they begin to feel
superior to the person who is paid to
evoke their latent powers or to create
aspirations in them. We go on re-
peating the adage that knowledge is
power, meaning by it, however, the
knowledge how to get money, and
when we see either eruditiOn or fac
atty that does not get its possessor
money, we lose our respect for that
sort of knowledge. BY this kind of
reasoning, then, we might come to the
conclusion that the profession of teach
er would be more respected if it were
better paid, and it certainly would be
better paid, especially in the lower
grades, if it's Importance were fully
appreciated The whole future of the
state depends on proper education of
the children, and for that education is
demanded the best talent and the high
est character. 1t is possible that if
men and women of the best talent and
the highest character were employed
in the primary schools and received
nigh pay for their services, the teach.
er would stand higher in the social
scale. But it is not altogether mat
ter of remuneration. The position of
the soldier does not depend upon his
pay. The officers of lower grade
scarcely have enough in any country
on which to support wife and fam.
lily. Yet the military officer, without a
cent of patrimony, takes, even in re-
publican America, as good social
position as any one. 10 be in the army
or navy is to be socially we'll placed
There has always been something OF
this glamour about the soldier, even in
the centuries when he was little more
than the hireling of the rich merchants
or of legitimate and illegitimate prime
es. Naturally we should say that he
won admiration and the submissive
love of women because his profession
was one of imminent peril, because he
took his life in his hands and kept il
only by the weight and sharpness Of
his sword. But all occupations Of
danger do not bring this reward, the
respect of men and the love of women

| have heard men speaking of other
men and characterizing them as mean
as a dog. Such a one may be very
mean, low, sordid fellow, but l wish to
defend the dog against any such COM
parison. a man may be mean enough
to maltreat and abuse his wife, but no
dog was ever mean enough to fight the
female of his kind. The dog is most
devoted to his master, and is the only
animal in the world that will fight his
own kind in defense of his owner. A
man may walk out followed by his
faithful dog and should he become
weary and lie down along the wayside
and go to sleep, his dog will stand
watch over him and protect him from
harm. l have heard of dog which
was so much attached to his master
that when the latter died and was
buried, the loving animal laid down on
the grave and refused to leave in search
of food and absolutely starved to death
rather than leave the little mound that
marked the grave Of his master. Again,
many dogs exhibit a high degree of in
telligence. / once owned fine, large
Newfoundland dog which went by the
name of Felix. When my children
went walking, Felix was sure to go, and
felt that they were as safe as if es-
corted by a troop of cavalry. The war
coming on, l had him with me in my
marches, until after the battle of
Chickamauga when 1 sent him home.
On the march he was ever at the heels
of my horse. One day l noticed that
he was nearly famished for the want
of water, and turning to my servant [
said, "Fisher, stop here and put Felix in
the wagon when it comes up" Ever
after that l would say to him, ''Felix,
stop here and get in the wagon when
it comes up At once he would leave
the column and lie down in the shade
and would remain there until my
wagons came along, and he would get
into it and ride into camp.
My old friend, Surgeon Wright of the
United States army, while stationed in
San Antonio had we'll broken pointer,
but as the dog was getting old he had
puppy which he was training to take
his place. He kept the young one
tied in one corner of his room and
when he yelped it was the custom of
the doctor to switch him to make him
keep quiet. AS I was present, one
evening, the puppy began to make a
noise, but my presence prevented the
doctor from applying the switch. The
old dog went to the corner of the room
took the switch up in his mouth and
carried it to the doctor, as much as to
say, "The youngster needs correction"

moral advice to the young people.
They need little advice on this
subject quite often and then some
will forget it long enough to 60

immortality does not come at once
but by little steps which will in
the end lead to ruin. Evil
thoughts lead to evil deeds hence
the mind should be cleansed. Such
noxious weeds should never be
allowed to grow in the garden of
the soul but rather let the tree
of faith and life grow and blossom
and bring forth fruit Of a noble
life and an eternal reward.
