Stumbling Blocks
Make Stepping
Stones.

comes to you, whether pleasant or I'M
pleasant, fortunate or unfortunate, to
your advantage. Do not allow an UNI
pleasant, disagreeable criticism, an un'
charitable remark, loss of property, or
other trial OF any kind to cloud your
whole day and cast shadows over your
life. Resolve vigorously to make every
seeming stumbling block a stepping stone
to higher and nobler endeavor. If you
can make no other use OF misfortune,
you can use it as a point of departure for
new and more determined effort, an oc-
casion for turning over new leaf.
Make up your mind resolutely that
nothing shall stand in the way of your
genuine success You cannot allow your
life to be darkened by the clouds cast
over your path by others who seem to
wish to injure you. Treat trouble and
misfortune as the oyster does the grain
OF sand which irritates it. Cover them
with pearls and make them things OF
beauty. Misfortunes and difficulties
make stronger those who have the cour-
age to surmount them and use them as
stepping stones instead of stumbling
blocks. II you will determine resolute-
ly and vigorously that every apparent
misfortune that comes to you shall be
turned into blessing, you will soon lose
all fear OF evil, and will become stroDgto
battle with seeming opposition. For,
after all, what we call the misfortunes of
life and the things that make us unhap-
pv are not such, in reality.

yourself, it may be, in dust and ashes.
You have entered upon a new life. You
are pure today. But where is the scep-
teal soul ? Where is the ruined woman
whom you sent forth into the world out
of the shadow of your sin years ago. You
cannot touch that life. You cannot reach
it. You do not know where it is. No
steps of yours, quickened with all your
earnestness, can pursue it. No contribu-
ton OF yours can draw back its conse-
quences. Remorse cannot force the bull
let back again into the gun from which
it once has gone forth. 1t makes life
awful to the man who has ever sinned,
who has ever wroDged and hurt another
life because OF this sin, because no sin
ever was done that did not hurt another
life. l know the mercy OF our God, that
while he has put us into each others
power to fearful extent, He will never
let any soul absolutely 90 to everlasting
ruin for another's sin; and so dare to
see the love of God pursuing that lest
soul where you cannot pursue it. But
that does not for one moment lift the
shadow from your heart, or cease to
make you tremble when you think of
how your sin has outgrown itself and is
running far, far away where YOU can
never follow it.

LAST DAYS AT PATMOs.
Revelations. 10Th Chapter.

Though men scorn him and his vision;
Though fools laugh in loud derision,
Still the dying saint at Patmos
Saw the things that were TO be
For he saw Heavens strong Truth, mounted
On its white horse, while uncounted
Souls of martyrs, saints, and heroes
Followed, armed to make men free
Heavenly swords in thousands famed there
Heavenly tongues aloud proclaimed there
Truths that dash earths thrones to pieces
Break the wrist.bones of the strong
Though their strength is seven-iold-seven,
Yet tue unseen hosts of heaven
To the ground at last shall dash them,
Trampling down their hoarY wrong
Though we bow to wrong grown hoary,
Yet the fame Of Heavens fierce glory
Burns it ever and consumes it
In the burning wrath Of God;
And the proudest then shall cover
When Heaven opens and truths power,
Clenched in Gods own mighty right hand,
Stretches forth-an irou rod
All the skies at morn we're darkened
And the prophet, as he hearkened,
Heard dread and mighty angel
From the center of the sun,
Calling earth's dark host of ravens
10 their prey OF knaves and cravens,
To their prey Of fools and tyrants,
Ere the work of truth be done
The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1899-03-15

Loud he heard them in his dreaming:
Ravens calling, eagles screaming,
As truths armies rushed to battle
With the falsehood of the world;
Bray of trumpets, horses neghng,
Slave chains rafting, sharp swords staying
As earth's blind and cruel despots
From their tottering thrones we're hurled
As that l,ming day was dawninR,
Through ths smoke-fled sky at morning,
All heaven heroes, saints and martyrs
Ia vast procession swept
From each dark and noisome prison,
From each bloody grave arisen,
Armed, came every saint and martyr
Who to death his faith had kept
White the horses were that bore them;
White their raiment, and before them
Plunged the white steed Of their leader
With his barred and flaming brand
Every brand was barred and flaming
Every clarion blared, procaiming
That Heavens hosts had come to battle
With the wrong in every land
From truths fercsst flaming regions
Thronging still is rushing legions,
All Heayen's armies swept past Patmos
On that red, triumphant morn,
When loves saint and prophet, dying,
Ceased from pity and from signing
To proclaim his last dread vision
Laughing tyranny to scorn

snap it out dog fashion; say it firmly and
respectfully.
Do not kick every one in your path.
Use your own brains rather than those
of others.
Be observant, and learn from the mis-
takes of others.
Have order, system, regularity and
also promptness.
Do not NEEDLE with business you
know nothing about.
No man can get rich by sitting around
stores and saloons.
A man of honor will respect his word
as he does his bond.
If you have place OF business, be
found there when wanted.
More miles can be made In a day by
going steadily than by occasional spurs
aud steps.
Help others when you can; but never
give what YOU cannot afford to, simply
because it is fashionable.
Honesty is the best policy, both in
business and morals, and no one can
succeed permanently without it.

The Naval Repair Ship.

Every officer in the American
fleet at Santiago, from the admiral
down. has praised the usefulness
of the Vulcan. Her equipment
was equal to that of any but large
repair plants on shore, and the
work actually done by her covered
almost every conceivable part of
the machinery of war vessel, in
cluding repairs To hulls, gun
mounts, dynamos, main steam
pipes, main piston rods (for small
ships, brass castings without
number, and a considerable num-
ber of iron castings. This last is
an especially interesting feature.
ms it is believed that the Vulcan is
the FIRST vessel ever fitted with a
cupola for making iron castings.
The object of such ship is readi-
ly seen; it enables the vessels to
have every repair, short of break
down of some of the larger parts,
made on the station, when other
wise they would have been com

An Estimate of WoIcott.

Washington correspond en- e
Louisville Courier-Journal: Sena-
tor Wolcott was rather busy during
this session of congress, and it is
an indication that the man who is
after his seat will have to fight for
it. Wolcott is indisputably the
most brilliant man in the senate,
the most captivating orator and
one of the most formidable debat-
ers. He is 80 years old and looks
only 30, and there is not man in
all Colorado who can fill his shoes.
He has been in the senate eleven
years, and whenever he has seen
fit to exert himself he has shown
himself worthy the steel of every
opponent. He will probably be
succeeded by Ounce, for this is
the day of small politics and pea
nut statesmen. and when he goes, if
he must, he will be regretted by
every bright man in Washington.
