the impulse to immolation9 Ought we

the best good of our dear ones4 And
when all is said, shall we not for them,

lives, including all Of theirs which
blends with ours, to that highest love

Burn, burn, Glove, within my heart
Burn hercely night and day,
Till all the dross OF earthly loves
Is buried and burned away"

The Meaning and Value of the Commun
ion of Saints.

The Meaning n Value OF the Commun"
ion of Saints.
It means sympathy, support, sugges-
ton, cooperation. and that peculiar
inspiration which is due to numbers
and mutual interest and enthusiasm.
1t means all these as afforded not only
by our fellow church members, but
also in a real sense by our fellow Chris
tians throughout the world. It means
that the redsemed and the angelic
hosts in heaven take a real, sincere in
terest in Christ's earthly followers,
and in some manner and to some ex
tent are able and glad to be of service
to US. It means all this day by day
and week after weak forever.
The value of such communion is
suggested by it's meaning. It nerves
and encourages us. 1t revives tagging
energies. Il drives away despair and
fear. IL cheers in hours Of loneliness.
IL brings heaven closer and renders
the cultivation OF the heavenly spirit
more easy. 1t shows us how much of
Jesus Christ there is in His earthly
disciples. 1t turns thoughts more
approximately to Him as the source
and center of our happiness and hope.
It teaches us the substantial unity of
Christianity in spite of its divisions,
and suggests its triumphant power in
spite Of temporary obstacles to it's
progress.
If Christians would cherish for each
other more of that loyalty which mem.
beIs of worldly orders or societies often
exhibit, and if they would commune
more with each other about matters of
common interest, taking counsel to-
gether as fellow servants of Christ,
Christian fellowship soon would assume
again the aspect which it had In the
apostolic days. Its meaning and value
seldom are comprehended fully in these
times, and by the failure to appreciate
them q grave loss is suff9red.-The
Congregationalist.

The silver in the silver dollar has
been as low as 45 cents and a fraction
since the election. But nobody pays
any attention to the fluctuations of
silver before accepting silver money.
1t Is because the silver money of this
country is maintained on the stable
golc standard. MONIES Register.
A year ago in an official document
issued by the treasury department.
Secretary Carlisle affirmed that silver
dollars are not legally redeemable In
gold or in any other kind of money,
and that the treasury has never re-
deemed them in gold. Since they are
not redeemable in gold and are not
and never have been redeemed in
coin of that metal. the Register ought
now to explain for the enlightment
of its readers, why it is that the silver
dollars, though the value of the met
al in each has fallen as low as 43 cents
since the election, have maintained
equality of value with gold. What is
the reason, in view of the fact that
they are not redeemable in gold, their
value as money has not declined in
harmony with the value of the metal
of which they are made?-Tele graph.

people, farmers chiefly, have been

agent for a wholesale supply house.
AS usual the fellow was a guileless
cuss. fairly overfowing with benevo-

farmer and with indignation against
their oppressors, the home dealers.
He would take orders for bill of goods

perform the Jones act-pay the
