Charity.

Universal love, charity, or good
will to men, signifies the same senti-
ment. Charity is more generally
used in the sense of feeding the hun
cry and clothing the naked, the
Mohammed gave it a wide range, as
follows:-Every good act is charity.
Your smiling in your brothers face
is charity-an %exhortation of your
fellow-men in virtuous deeds is equal
to alms-giving-your putting a wan
derer on the right road is charity
your removing stones and thorns,
and other distractions from the
road, is charity-your giving water
to the thirsty is charity. A mans
true wealth hereafter is the work he
does in this world to his fellow-men.
When he dies, people will ask what
property has he left behind him.
but the angels who examine him in
the grave will ask. "What good
deeds hath thou sent before thee?"

Nearly Played Out.

One Sunday not long ago the min
lister Of a small country perish in
Scotland had the misfortune to for
get his sermon and did not discover
his loss till he reached the church.
The congregation being already as
sembly, he was is a sorry plight.
Suddenly an idea struck him. He
sent for John, the beadle, and in
structed him to give out Psalm cxix
containing 176 v~erses,) while he
hurried home for his sermon. On
his journey back to the church he
saw the faithful beadle standing at
the church door, waving his arms
and ahoutiDg at him. One reaching
the door he exclaimed:
"Are they singing yet, john"
"Aye, sir replied John, "they're
at it yet, but they're chirping like
sparrers.'

A Matter Ct Business.

A business man has a daughter
and also a confidential clerk, and the
confidential clerk has for sometime
been attentive to the daughter; but
he has not sufficient courage to come
to the point, though the young
woman has never done anything to
scare him eff, for he is a first class
fellow in every respect. The other
evening he was making a call, and
about 9 o'clock her father came in.
IAN, George" he said, show about
that deal We we're talking about this
afternoon? Did you see the party"
Yes, sir, and I expected to see
you this evening and tell you about
it."
my DEAR" said the father, turn
ing to his daughter, will you retire
for a few minutes7 George wants to
speak business for a while"
The daughter rose up; but hest
tated.
why do I have to go?" she asked
doubtfully.
because, DEAR" answered tie
father, "you are not interested. Why
do you want to stay?"
She blushed and started out.
because, papa" she twittered'
I'D rather like to hear George tall
business just once"
Then George got red, and TIT
father looked at them both signif
cantly, and the girl fled.

La Grippe Successfully Treated.

II have just recovered from the
second attack OLA grippe this year,"
says Mr.. Jas. A. Jones, publisher Of
the Leader, Mexia, Texas. "In the
latter case I used Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, and I think with
considerable success, only being in
bed a little over two days against ten
days for the former attack. The
second attack I am satisfied would
have been equally as bad as the first
but for the use of this remedy as I
had to 60 to bed in about six hours
after being struck with it, while in
the first case I was able to attend to
business about two days before get

and then deal with the subject in our

sented directly by a resolution Of
congress declaring the policy of the
nation upon this subject. The pres
ident says in his message that our
only purpose in taking possession of
Caba is to establish a stable govern
ment and then turn that government
over to the people of Caba. C,n-
gress could reafGrm this purpose in
regard to the Philippine Islands and
Porto Rico. Sucha resolution would
make a clear cut issue between the
doctrine Of self government and the
doctrine Of imperialism. We should
reserve a harbor and a coaling station
in Porto Rico and the Philippines in
! urn for services rendered, and l
think we would be justified in asking
the same concession from Cuba.
In the case of Porto Rico, where
the people have as yet expressed no
desire for an Independent govern
ment, we might with propriety de-
clare our willingness to annex the
island if the citizens desire annexa.
