government was laid again in 1865.
But are we not ready for the laying OF
the cornerstone of a broader and higher
national life? We have as nation re-
ceiyed so much from God. Do we not
owe new conservation? Are we not
ready to become better Sabbath keep
ing, peace loving, virtue honoring, God
worshiping nation? Are we not ready
for such cornerstone laying? Why not
now let it take place? With long pro-
cession of prayers, moving from the
north and the south, the east and the
west, let the scene be made august be-
yond comparison.
The God of nations, who hath dealt
with US as with no other people, viii
preside at the solemnization. By the
square and the level and the plumb Of
the everlasting right let the corner
stone be adjusted. Let that cornerstone
be the masoning together of the two
granite tables on which the law was
written when Sinai shook with the
earthquake, and inside that cor&erstone
put the sermon on the mount and
scroll containing the names Of all the
men and women who have fought and
prayed and toiled for the good Of this
nation, from the first martyr Of the
American Revolution down to the last
woman who bound up a soldiers
wounds III the field hospital. And let
some one worthy to do SO strike the
stone three times with the gospel ham,
mer in the name Of God the Father,
God the Son and God the Holy Ghost
Then let the building rise, one wall
laved by the Pacific ocean and the other
washed of the Atlantic, until its cap
stone shall be laid amid the shouting of
all nations, by that time as free as our
own divinely founded, divinely con-
structed and divinely protected repub-
lie, the last throne of oppression hav-
ing fallen fiat into the dust and the last
shackle of tyranny been hung up in mu-
scum as a relic of barbaric ages.
The prayer that the great expounder
wrote to be put in the cornerstone at
the extension of the capitol 1 calculate
as our own supplication, "God save the
United States of America" only add.
ing the words with which Robert South
was apt to close his sermons, whether
delivered before the court at Christ
Church chapel on in Westminster abbey,
at anniversary of restoration of Oliver
Cromwell amid the worst tempest that
ever swept over England: "To God be
rendered and ascribed, as is most due,
all praise, might, majesty and domin.
ion, both now and forever. Amen.

DON'T SNUB.

Don't snub a boy because of physi-
cal disability. Milton was blind and
also was deaf.
Don't snub a boy because he
chooses a humble trade. The author
of "Pilgrim's Progress" was tinker.
Don't snub boy because he slut
ters. Demosthenes, the greatest ora
tor of Greece, overcame a harsh and
stammering voice.
Don't snub boy because of the
ignorance of his parents. Shakes
peare, the worlds poet, was the son
of a man who was unable to write his
own name.
Don't snub a boy who seems dull or
stupid. Hogarth, the celebrated
painter and engraver, was slow at
learning and did not develop as soon
as most boys.
Don't snub boy because he wears
shabby clothes. When Edison, the
great inventor, first entered Boston
he wore a pair of yellow linen
breeches in the depth of winter.
Don't snub any one. Not alone be-
cause they may far outstrip you in
the race of life, but because it is
neither kind nor right, nor Christian.

An opinion from Prof. Andrews,

Denver, Col. July s.-The Rocky Noun
tain News prints the following telegram
from Professor Andrews of Brown Uni
versity, in answer to query as to his OBJ
servations while abroad of the growth of
bi-metallic sentiment:
Providence, r. l., July 2.
Owing to the manifest strength of the
bi-metallic interest in America there is
actually considerable prospect that France
will agree beforehand to open her mints
to silver. II we reopen ours event with
out such an agreement, France is certain
to follow the United States. In case
France and the United States proceed, or
either alone, Great Britain will heartily
cooperate to the fullest possible extent
short Of coming full tender silver at Lon
don, the India mints will reopen, the
Bank of England will lay in a silver re-
serve and perhaps half -sovereigns be with
drawn in favor Of silver certificates
Further than this, England will not CO.
European hi metallists nearly all think
A merican initiative the sure way to
international bi-metallism.
