nsncere person is like fawed crystal, fatally
cred worthless by the shocking defect in the grain,
which no excellence Of anotehr kind can condone.
In our own lives, in speech in deed, in thought,
prime endeavor should be to cultivate noble candor
an unshrinking fidelity to truth, and an unbroken
sincerity. Temptations come in social intercourse
to be politely acquiescent in what we do not approve
to make excuses which we only half believe to violate
the truth; and we suffer insincerty to eat into our
souls as corroding rust. Truth need never be
brutally spoken. The Bible speaks Of the union Of
truth and love in our conversation It is worth much
effort humility and prayer to attain sincerity in all
things

True peace Of mind does not depend as some seem
to suppose, on the external incidents Of riches and
poverty, Of health and sickness, of friendships and
enmities. 1t has no necessary dependence upon so
cety or secluson; upon dwelling in cities or in the
desert Let the heart be right let il be fully united
with the will Of God, and we shall be entirely con-
tented with those circumstances in which Providence
has seen fit to place us, however unpropitious they
may be in worldly point Of view. He who gains
the victory himself gains the victory all his
enemies, Parish Visitor.

How can any one use the scriptures irreverently
We might think that the slightest realization of what
they contain would check every attempt at making
merry with its words or Incidents We are not con
sidering now that rreverent use which indicates ut
ter unbeef and hatred and which becomes shocking,
but simply the quotation Of the words and incidents
of the scriptures to point jest and raise laugh
In many instances no harm is intended, but harm
is done all the same Without going very far into the
subject and without the many reasons against this
species of rsverence let it be said that if there
other reassn for omitting it. it would be sufficient
to know that when ludicrOus aossociation is made
with text an incident it is apt to stick to it.
Whenever you think of the text the other is recalled
Let it be part of our reverence then to treat the
sacerd scriptures as eontaing Gods revelation Of
truth and life to men. S.S. Magazine

duties Of the Governor Of Maryland. He
said THE Governor Of Maryland imagines

realizing sense Of his own littIeness and inn
pofence. he can do nothing be may wish ex-
cept with the assistance Of others. de IS
Obliged TO consult all sorts Of people as TO
what should be done. He cannot make an
appointment unless he has the consent OF
majority Of the Senators. If be wants an APP
preparation to carry on what may be vital TO
the interests Of the State, be Is obliged TO have
the assistance Of majority Of both houses.
In fact, be can be certain Of nothing unless ne
is assured beforehand that he will have the
approval Of the two houses. No matter II pc
has examined the question on Gil sides and ~
all its bearings and is sure Of bis ground, ne Is
powerless without the aid OF the General AS

Is absolutely necessary in order TO complete

the amount needed, in order to get II, for the
Legislature almost invariably cuts all recon-.

the others he has trouble. and il is trouble IN
the real sense Of the word, and there is nc

In 1888, the year Of the great blizzard, the
mighty northwest storm Of March 18th fairly
blew the water out Of the broad shallow estu-
aries Of the Chesapeake bay, and the fierce
cold that came with it froze the naked mud Of
the bottom--the garden soil Of the juicy
grasses that have made the Chesapeake red
head and canvasback ducks known to connis-
seurs of the world. When the tides came
back they raised bodily this frozen floor Of the
river, tearing up tea grass and tape grass BY
the roots. This ruined the feed over many
square miles Of the choicest duck pasture in
America.
In the very next year another convuIsion of
nature q disastrous food. bore down the Sus-
quehanna river unprecedented masses of earth
and debris that covered what feed was left and
about completed the destruction. The year
after the blizzard the ducks appeared in nor
NAL numbers, but found not what they came
for, and the Chesapeake shooting has never
fully recovered from these two disasters. The
wise ones of The ducking waters have figured
it out that after q year or two only young
birds were left, and these did not even know
the way to the Maryland pastures.
II was curious sight. in the early COS, and
later, too, when stray bodies of migratory
ducks reached the favorite coves, alighted with
confidence and appetite, and after 80 seconds
fru:tless diving lit out from those waters as II
they were boiling.

THE HOUSE of Representatives has acted
promptly upon the suggestion of the Secretary
of Agriculture and has voted an appropriation
of $3.50, 900 for the purpose of protecting cotton
against the boil weevil. This is only half the
amount asked by the Secretary, but il is never
theless, considerable sum, and its employ
ment should bring about some results Of con-
sequence. Of course, the question how to deal
with the pest is still largely an experimental
one, but it will at least be approached under
favorable conditions as far as the matter of
ways and means is concerned, that is ASSUME
ing, as is not unlikely, that the Senate will
follow the lead of the House. Money spent
in this way the people will not object to.
what is given in free seed distribution could
be we'll appropriated to fighting every pest
these modern days bring forth yearly. The

GUS kinds and bugs whose names are legion

A s'sPITE FENCE that has stood in San Fran
cisco for twenty years is at last to come down,
the man whom it was made to punish having
died unconqered, and his heirs being willing
to sell the land with which he refused to part,
except at what he considered its real value.
In all stories of this kind there is satisfaction
to be found in the fact that every spite fence
has two sides, and that one side is as trouble
some to the man who erected the fence as is
the other side to the man for whose injury it
was erected. This possibly, is the reason that
not many ''spite fences are built. 1t does
not pay to hold grudges. spites or personal pre-
JUDGES, and this is the reason they are not cul-
tivated. Natural inclination prompts the
contrary, but in the long run morality grows
out of necessity or policy If it paid the nat
ural. average man be would build many a

REPRESENTATIVE KLUrTz. Of North Carolina,
has made special study Of the constitutional
~ of the various measures which have been in
troduced in Congress looking toward national
aid in the construction of wagon roads through
out the country. Discussing this matter on
Monday Mr.. Kluttz said zone ofthe greatest
crying needs of this great country is good
roads. No argument can be needed to estab-
lish this proposition, because it is seifevident.
We may legislate to benefit our cities and
towns BY erecting great public buildings; we
may legisIate to bring them traffic and CON-
merce by voting great appropriations for river
and harbor improvements, but if we fall short
of building good roads to them We fail in that
which would be of greatest benefit. Not only
so, but we fail in our duty to the great rural
population of the country as well. 1t is vain
to build great cities and network them with
railroads and canals, and to improve their
rivers and harbors unless We can give them
the backing of great tributary, rural agricul-
tural population. A nation of cities would be
an anomaly, an impossibility. failure"

GOVERNOR WAKEFIELD seems to have made it
pretty plain that there will be many changes
among the subordinate officials in Maryland
who get their appointment from him. To
some officials who have applied to him per-
sonally to be reappointed be has been frank
enough to say that he intends to appoint
others in their places. IN one Instance be IS
reported to have said that those who had held
places for four or more years should be willing
to retire and give others chance. In view Of
the fact that the Governor has bis own friends
to provide for this seems reasonable enough.
