Accept Jesus Now.

Procrastination is the great thief of
Souls.
The enemy of mankind endeavors
hrst to persuade men that the Christian
religion is nothing but a cunningly de-
Vised fable, and failing in that, his
great cry is mot now; some other
lime"
Many who are almost persuaded to
accept Jesus as their Saviour, are de-
,eived by the thought of more con-
venient season, and say not tonight,
ieeming to forget that now is the ac-
:epted time and this is the day of Sal
vation. We should remember that TO-
morrow is not ours, and accept Jesus
now.-The Religious News.

Like some schoolmaster, kind in being
stern,
Who hears the children crying DER
their states
And calling, Help me, MASTER" yet
helps not,
Since in his silence and refusal lies
Their self-development,s so God abides,
Unheeding many prayers. He Is not
deaf
To any cry sent up from earnest
hearts;
Ho hears and Strengthens when IIc
must deny.
Ho sees lis weeping over lifo's hard
sums;
But should Ho dry our tears, and give
the key,
What would it profit us when school
were done
And not one lesson mastered?
Were this IL all our prayers were
granted! Not
In famed Pandora's box wero such vast
ills
AS lie In human hearts. Should our
desires.
Voiced one by one, in prayer, ascend to
God,
And come back as events, shaped to
our wish,
What chaos would result!
In my fierce youth
l sighed out breath enough to move II
fleet,
Voiclng wild prayers to heaven for fan
ced Blooms
Which we're denied; and that denial
bends
My knees to prayers of gratitude each
day
or my maturer life. Yet from those
prayers
rose Away rogirdcd for the strife
And conscious of new strength. Pray
on, sad heart!
That which thou pleadest for may
not be given.
But In the lofty altitude where souls
Who supplicate Gods grace are lifted
there
Thou shalt find help to bear thy future
lot,
Which is not elsewhere found.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Cleveland, Ohio, May Sin an inter
view here to-day, Hon. Chauncey M. De-
pew said that he favored the continuance
of Senator NJ. A. Hanna as chairman of
the Republican National Committee.
Speaking of the campaign OF 1900, Sena-
tor Depew said the Republican party
practically would have no opposition.
Bryan has read the New York Democrats
out of the party, and they will not again
get together" said lie.
"What will be the Republican issue of
1902" was asked.
"The platform will reassert everything
the party has ever said, and the party will
declare in favor of expansion.
Chow about trusts?"
Undoubtedly, the Republican party
will adopt plank condemning trusts, and
[ also think the Democrats will adopt a
similar plank. The Republicans will re-
affirm their declaration for the gold stand
ard, and there is no doubt tine Democrats
will again take up silver"

LUCULLUS AND NAPOLEON.
Famous Generals Who@e AppetNeS
Overruled Their Better
Judgment

IN his Bright Sides of History" E Il.
House has something to say about the
appetites of famous people "You know
already" Uncle Claxton began, that
Lucullus was great general at one
period, and that he led his armies vio-
toriously through many parts OF Asia
Minor. The kingdom of Pontus was
completely subjugated by himi and the
spoils collected from its principal cities
formed the basis of the enormous for
tune with which he afterward enjoyed
himself and entertained his comPan-
ions in Rome. But gold and jewels were
not the only things that attracted the
attention Of this man Of varied tastes.
The city of Cerasus, on the shore OF
the Euxine sea, was celebrated Tor Its
cherries, specimens of which were Of
fered to him as the choicest delicacies
of the region. He was so delighted
with them that he ordered the fruit to
be cultivated on his estates at home,
and from that time cherries began to
be known In Italy. You may be sure
that Lucullus the soldier was different
being from Lucullus the Sybarite' 1t
needs q clear head to win battles and
govern kingdoms, and while he was
busy with those pursuits he could not
have wasted many hours IN revelry. lie
had before him as q warning the fate
of Alexander, who threw away his life
In dissipation while he was yet young,

world"
"You were telling US the other day."
said Percy, shat Napoleon Bonaparte
mad no time to think about what he
ate."
THAT was often the case," Uncle
Claxton replied, "when he was out
campaigning. He had very little time
and not much inclination. Even in the
peaceful intervals of his reign he was
extremely abstemious. But he had his
fancies in the way of food, and 1t has
been said that he was punished terribly
for indulging one of these at the wrong
time. Boiled mutton with onion sauce
was dish of which he was often tempt
ed to eat too much, and on the eday OF the
battle of Leipsic, when he should have
been especially careful of his diet, he
chose it for his principal meal, and
dined so heavily that within few hours
a violent collie seized him, and he was
compelled to leave the field at mo-
ment when ell his skill was needed to
avert disaster. Other causes have been
assigned for his defeat, but the story
which I give you was believed at the
time, and do not know that it has ever
been proved false. The harm may have
come from his habit of eating too fast,
for which Napoleon was notorious. He
did not ordinarily allow himself leisure
enough to enjoy the few dishes he liked
best, His famous rival, Wellington, was
lust es careless, and even more in
different."-St. Nicholas.
