Have You Read it:
RAMS Horn.

RAMS Horn.
It is told of Franklin that at one
time In Paris he was greatly rldiculed
for his love of the Bible, and that he
made up his mind to find out how
many of the scoffers had read it. He
informed one of the learned societies,
of which he was member, that he
had come across story in pastoral life
in ancient times that appeared to him
very beautiful but he would like the
Judgment of the Society upon it. On
the evening appointed, Franklin had
a reader OF finely modulated voice read
to them the book of Ruth. They
were in ecstacies over it, and one after
another rose to- express qualification
and admiration, and the desire that the
manuscript should be printed. "It is
printed" said Franklin, "and is part
of the Bible"

Commencement Orators.

Generally during the months OF May
and June the commencement orator
is abroad in the land. The Biblical
Recorder of last week made the follow
ing observations on the said orator:
The extent to which men initiate
one another is very great. 1t exerts
an incalculable influence upon the
world. Let a man of some reputation
address an audience Of college students,
and it Is more than probable that every
one of them will go forth into life
with something of that man in them.
We heard commencement speaker
wildly rantlng with the most violent
gesticulations on recent occasion !;
and the next day college professor
told us 1t would require year for him
to get his students out of that one
speakers ways. To beat the air, to
strain the body, to shout with all the
power of ones lungs is not oratory,
even though it does have effect. And
if we must put up with it In present
time, we ought at least to have the
consolation of fond hope that the
rising generation will spare us OF 1t.
But worse than physical example is
that Of thought in respect both of
mode and character. It is quite az
frequent that commencement orators
are crude and violent in their thought
as in expression. Totnlnk In sequence
to work ones thought out thoroughly,
and to think accurately, is of more i'm
portance than expressing it. We not
infrequently hear mel, In whom
younger men have much confidence,
enunciate rank principles and argue
from false propositions as earnestly as
if they were delivering oracles, and
most frequently their dlscourses are
disiointed. Young men who hear
them are sure to think no deeper than
they and to go forth in life wrongly IN
formed and wrongly informing the
world. Let us have moro care both
in making OF commencement addresses
and in delivering them.

THE JUG OF WHISKY.

The following poem, taken from the
London Star OF July 12, 17O2, shows
that the contents of the whisky jug
were known hundred years ago:
Within these eartfen walls confined
The ruin turks OF human kind;
More mischiefs here united dwell
And more diseases haunt this cell
Than ever plagued Egyptian flocks,
Or ever cursed Pandora's box.
Within these prison walls repose
The seeds of many bloody nose,
The chattering tongue, the horrid oath,
The fist FOR fighting, nothing loath,
The nose with diamonds glowing red,
The bloated eye, the broken head.
Forever fastened be this door
Confined within, a thousand more
Destructive fiends of hateful shape
Fen now are planning an escape.
Here only by a cork controlled,
And slender walls of earthen mold,
In all the pomp of death, reside
Revenge, that ne'er was satisfied;
The trees that bare the deadly fruit
OF manning, murder and dispute;
Assault that innocence assails;
The images of gloomy jails;
The glddy thought on mischief bent !;
The evening hour in folly spent.
All these within this jug appear,
And Jack, the hangman, in the rear
Thrice happy he, who early taught
By nature ne'er this poison sought ;SH
He, with the purllng stream content,
The beverage quaffs that nature meant !;
In reasons scale his actions weighed,
His spirits want no foreign aid,
Long life is his, in vigor passed,
Existence welcome to the last
A spring that never yet grew stale;
Such virtue lies in Adams alex.

Where a Grave Danger Turks.

Ladies' Home Journal.
It Is not easy for girl in her teens
to rightly understand and appreciate
that grave danger turks for her in
things which are not wrong in them
selves, and yet, in their spirit, are not
exactly right. There is fine line in
such distinction, which, naturally,
she has not lived long enough to see.
But her parents see it, ard try to make
her see it. In this they s.re, unfortu-
nately, not always successful, and the
girl, feeling that the point has not been
made clear to her, leayes the counsel OF
her mother or father in resentful
mood. What she cannot exactly un-
derstand she refuses to accept, and
therein lies danger. There are in
Vulnerable fine little points of deport-
ment which cannot be made quite
clear to young girl. She has not had
enough experience with people and the
world. But because these points are
not clear to her she should not make
up her mind that they are not right.
/ wish it we're possible for me to say
here just the right word-a word which
would lead many girls to accept, in
spirit of faith and obedience, the little
restrictions placed upon them. This
acceptance does not cali for "blind
obedience" it calls for what is the most
valuable element in a girls life-a per
feet faith and confidence in her parents,
and belief that what they DO for her
they do absolutely for her best and her
safest protection.

The Preacher and the Doctor.

Bible Advocate.
A deyout minister was once asked
by sceptic if he followed preaching
to save souls? and on replying that he
did the caviller re]oined:
"Did you ever see soul? "No."
did you ever hear soul?" "No."
"Did you ever taste soul?" "No."
"Did you ever smell soul?" mo"
"Dld you ever feel a soul?" eyes,
thank God," said the preacher.
"WelI," said the cavilling doctor,
"there are four out of five senses
against one that there is no SOUL" So
the matter might have dropped; but
the preacher, as subtle in understand
ing as he was plous in heart, turned
the table on the cavllling doctor, and
asked, "Did you ever see pain 2"
"No," was the reply. "Did you ever
hear a pain?" "No." "Did you ever
taste pain?" "No." "Did you ever
smell pain ?" mo" "Did you ever
feel pain ?" s'Yes," said the doctor.
''Well, then," rejoined the preacher,
"there are, you see, also four senses
against one to prove that there is no
such thing as pain and yet, sir, you
know that there is such a thing as
pain, and l know that there is a SOUL"
The doctor appeared confounded and

thluk needs the most bravery in real
war /; the lonely picket off in the mys-
terious whispering, rustling woods, or
the man who marches onward with
hundreds OF others, cheered by their
shouts? I think the lonely one.
Well, this young man goes forward to
his unpleasant duties alone, and to per-
form them he gives up all comfort.
He had splendid education in college
and is we'll fitted to mix with the
brightest of people. But he denies
himself all in order to be a minister
among these poor crowded families.
His one idea is to brighten the lives
and the homes of those who are troub-
led and ignorant and blind as to what
is best in life ALI he needs to know,
Is that some one needs a kind word,
and he goes out of his way to give it.
Some of the poor suspect him and
think he must be trying to get the ad-
vantage of them, because, you know,
they do not understand the motive
that leads him to do this work but he
goes on visiting the sick. closing the
eyes of the dying, gathering the boys
and girls together for happy hours, ad-
vlslng the foolish ,and pointing out bet
ter ways to the wicked. Such a man
is hero, and I doubt not, if I were
to go through the country from town
to town and in far-away little coun-
try districts, I should find thousands
of others just as self forgetting as he.
Such men are soldiers ond they are
worthy Of respect.

soldier, whether man or woman. Find
some dear old lady who just takes
pleasure in doing kind deeds to others.
She is a soldier. The old gray headed
man, who, instead OF being cross, tries
to make life pleasant for you boys,
showing you in his own life that it is
good thing to do good-he is soldier.
All those who forget their own SORROWS
in order to help others-these are sol
dlers, brave ones. Never let yourself
doubt that such people are plentiful.
The world is growing fuller OF them all
the time.

When boy gets in blood earnest
about educating himself against what
ever odds may oppose, he soon inspires
faith in some one who will see to 1t
that he has an opportunity to learn.
The correspondent to the Richmond
Dispatch from the commencement at
Chapel Hill incidentally mentioned a
boy (his name not given) who will, in
the years to come, outstrip the patent
leather-slipper, tooth-pick-shoe puf-ball
who banks on his blood and his money
and thinks himself some great one.
The paragraph referred to reads as
follows
"This is "poor boys" university.
The poor boys are the workers, the
bees. A student was asked if this were
not true ana declared most earnestly
that 1t was. A number of the students
are employed in the commons hall,
and thus earn their board. They are
no whit the less esteemed, nor is stu
dent who is a shoemaker. Then there
is student who walked here all the
way from Cherokee county and who
works on farm nearby, milks the
COWS and who aldsthe farmers children
with their lessons. It is very pleasant
to know this young man leads his class
and that he is honored by the faculty
and students"

A terrific explosion and destructive
fire in Chicago few days ago, calls to
mind the tact that smokers too fire.
quently drop matches carelessly after
the pipe, cigar or cigarette has been
lighted. The confagratlon In Chicago
was the fireworks factory of M. Shure
and it was all from a match carelessly
dropped by one of the workmen.
We saw a man walk into a railroad
car few days ago, light a cigar and
throw the match out at the car WIN
dow. The woods along the roadside
we're very dry and we thought, "How
great fire that little match may kim
die !"
Achievements in success are the re-
suit of little things we'll done, which,
when taken in the aggregate, make up
the full rounded success; so little
things here and there, when put to-
gether, make failures and are the seeds
of dire disaster.

match was with the Klondikes, but as the

progress there was lots of cheering. The
Elizabethport team had plenty of skill
and pounded out a large number of
strikes and spares in the early frames,
but in the final frames the Halladays
cut down their lead and ran out a vic

remembered by the Halladay's friends.
