Tonight as i knelt at my window,

lection stole over me- For this great,
good God is my Father. How rich am / q

thought of Victor Hugo's: "A little
garden to walk about In, and all i'm
mensity TO dream In; at his feet what
can be cultivated and gathered, over his
head what can be studied and contem-
plated; on the earth few flowers, and
all the stars in the heavens" The good
pastor found this sufficient; so let me.
Months of suffering lie behind me Il
months OF loneliness and suffering lie
before me. Soul of mine, you may look

A MT Of FrankIin'. Philosophy

There are two ways OF being happy;
we may either diminish our wants or
augment our means-eithcr will do
the result il the same; and IL is for each
man 10 decide for himself and do that
which happens 10 be the easier. II you
are idle. or sick. or poor, however hard
II may be to diminish your wants, II
will be harder TO augment your means.
II you are active and prosperous, or
young, or in good health. IL mny be
easier for you 10 augment your means
than 10 diminish your wants. But II
you are wise, you will do both at the
same time, young or old, rich or poor,
sick or well; and II you are very wise
you will do both in such way as 70
augment the general happiness OF so
ciety.- BENJAMIN Franklin.

The JOY of Giving.

There is no pleasure In life that sur.
passes the JOY OF giving. We are prone
10 think that TO receive good gifts with
n proper spirit Is the highest felicity
that life can bring, but selfishness is the
cunning sophist which leads us TO this
false conclusion. Giving is primary
receiving Is secondary. Giving is q
spring, receiving Is cistern. Receiv'
ing Is the converse half Of giving, and
not the better half. for One who sur
passed all others In giving gifts 10 men

more cunning they might have become mil
lionaire railroad kings instead of outlaws.
That instead of using their revolvers to steal
a few dollars, their cunning, if put to the

theirs. would have enabled them to steal
whole railroads and to have become railway
kings instead of scapegoats.-l Jetfersonian.

The delegation that was sent from
this county to Paris with such blare
of trumpets seems to have been lost

Our willy Spanish conferrees seem to
have allured our Representatives away
from the beaten paths in which they
have passed their luxurious lives, and
after getting them among strange
surroundings they were deserted and
left to wander in bewildered state of

probable that the administration at

The murder, cold and relentless, of
the miners at Nirden, ILL.,, has called
forth an indignant protest of the
toiers of the earth
This renonstrance came like thun-
der clap in clear sky, and its inten-
sity has caused the venal tools of plu-
tocracy to quail with abject fear.
The frequency with which our courts
have conspired to murder has filled our
people with CONSERVATION, and when
the last effort came to reduce the toll
ers to worse conditions than those
accorded brutes, and when it was at
tempted to enforce such design by
bloodshed, there arose a very cyclone
of angry, indignant condemnation
and the plutocracy wavered, hesita-
ted, yielded temporarily. There is
now a calm, but what are its por-
tents?

but the rest of my fortune, after my death, as
well as before, will be spent in trying to
teach people how to stop me, and men like
me, from robbing them. So long as it is per-
mitted to any man to take what doesn't be-
long to him through monopolizing natures
resources and the private ownership of pub
lie utilities, plenty of men of my kind will
