Repose of the Soul.

Come to the land where oft the soul reposes,
Where sunlight never sinks in fading beams
Drink OF the stream among the scented roses,
Life, there to thee shall be pure and free.
Come to the land OF love and JOY unfegning,
Where friendship never breaks its tender ties;
Join in the praise OF Him who nov is waiting
Souls to receive in His home above
Come to the land where sorrow cannot enter,
Where weary pilgrims sweetly are Mt rest
And dearest friends with love, afection-tender
Meet one another to part no more.
Come to the land where death no power IL
welding.
Where deepened shadows darken not the day
Eat of the tree whose fruit is ever yielding
Life to the soul in eternity.
Come to the land where dwelleth blest Re
deemer,
Where throngs OF angels ever joyful sing;
Join round the throne in songs OF praises ever,
Life to the song in the land ever more.

A NEWSPAPER HooDoc.

A singular fatality attaches in the
United States to the newspaper which
bears party name. Of the twenty or
thirty Republicans" or Democrats
started in New York during the last
three decades no important journal
survives. The same is approximately
true of journalism In other cities.
There are "Heralds" and Suns" Ca
zettes" and Records" galore but the
Republicans" and Democrats" are
few and far-between. Generally those
which succeed under party name do
so by protesting opposite principles
from the ones which the title naturally
suggests. Thus. the Springfield RE
publican" is not Republican but Mug
wump; the st. Louis "Globe-Democrat
is not Democratic but Republican; the
old st. Louis Republican" (now Re
public'9 built itself up by being Demo-
cratic; the Rochester Democrat" is
Republican, the Denver Republican"
is for free silver. Washington city used
to have a daily called the Republican
but it failed so miserably, despite a
galaxy of able writer's that no one at
the capital has since dared to chal-
lenge the hoodoo. Roscoe Conkling,
at the zenith of his fame lent his inf1u-
ence to a Utica Republican" but the
paper failed in fourteen months at a
loss of 100000. The Los Angeles
Republican" after sinking a fortune,
joined the innumerable caravan which
moves to the pale realms of bankrupt
cy. Why people have such an aversion
to a newspaper which lives up to a
party name may perhaps be accounted
for by wholesome popular distrust of
the organ" which is committed to the
thick and thin support of something
which may come to deserve reproof
This theory is borne out by the fact
that the only successful political pa
pers In America are those which are
independent within the party they
serve and wholly reject the theory that
IF man is corrupt he should still be
voted for" Examples in New York
are the World, Journal, Sun and Trib-
une. These papers never stop at a
warrantable party criticism and they
thrive while the hide bound organs
languish.

OF CURRENT INTEREST.
Quit Kissing.

Now that the doctors have had their
say about the evil effects of kissing
and have told dreadful tales of the
transfer of bodily disease from lip to
lip, the dentists have taken the floor
with similar stories in regard to the
trouble that may be caused the teeth
by indiscriminate caresses of the oscu-
latory order. Accordingly to Phila-
delphia authority, it seems that the
microbes which attack the mouth are
the easiest transferred by kissing. In
deed, the authority in question goes
even farther. II don't care how fine
your teeth are naturally" he says, eff
you kiss very often a person with bad
ones you will need my services within
year. | have had cases where one
of an engaged couple had the finest pos
sible teeth until she met her fiance,
who had less healthy ones, and my
theory always proved right Then |
have seen the engagement broken and
the formerly good teeth restored per-
manently to perfect condition"

The Rev. George w. Stone, of Kan
sas City, says: The crusade begun
in some American cities against the
ringing of the church bell that calls
worshippers together should have the
support of Christians as well as OF
those who are the avowed enemies of
the Church. l take the stand that the
ringing OF church bells in a city is un-
Christianlike, and a survival of an age
that saw the stupid practice inaugural
ed because there were no better means
at hand of notifying the congregation
that the time for church service had
arrived" The church bell has a SEN
timent or a memory behind it, but
otherwise it is nuisance which the
nervous, the sick and those whose
business is done at night, recurring
them to sleep by day, most keenly feel
Originally bells were put on churches
to "scare the devils away" and in later
times they fell into their present use
because people owned few watches and
clocks and had to be notified of the
hour OF service. In this modern day
no such devices are necessary. People
find their way TO business, to the train
or steamer and to the theater on time
without waiting for warning clamor
and we do not see why they could not
go to church in the same punctual
fashion. Is there any good reason why
the quiet Of Sunday should be dis
turbed by the barbarous clangor OF
brass? What is the sense or utility OF
it? What is gained to the sum of
the threshold of Sunday worship?

Siberia Might Be Worse.

The prison system of Siberia is not
such an awful affair."" said a New
Yorker, who had recently returned
from there, the other day. Il have
spent great deal of time in studying
this question. l went to Siberia in
search of information. The prison
authorities afforded me all the assist
ance needed. l found the condition
equal to our own prisons. 1t is true the
prisoners are sent to a distant part of
Siberia, but there is method in do
ing this. This reduces the attempts
at jail breaking to a minimum. The
prisoners are not chained. They eat
at the same table with their guards.
The government provides a pension of
Sc month to the family of each pris-
oner. At the expiration of his SEN
tence the prisoner can take up his
home in Siberia, and the government
will assist him. 1t allows him a home
and implements with which to work"
