Make EN- Short.

Long visits, long stories and
long exhortations seldom profit
those who have to do with them.
Life is short. Time is short. Mo-
ments are precious. Learn to con-
dense; ahridge and intensity. We
can hear things that are dull if they
are only short. We can endure
many an ache if it is over soon;
while even pleasure grows insipld
and intolerable if they are not con.
tracted. Learn to be short. Lop
off the branches; stick to the main
facts in the case. If you speak,
tell your message and hold your
peace; if you write, boil down two
sentences into one, and three words
into two.-Exchange.

THE CRIMSON BALLOT.
One day in a crowded court room
sentence of death was said,
In hush of the awful stiffness:
ITO be hanged by the neck uutil dead.'
And mothers heart was broken
As she faltered murmured name,
And fathers face was furrowed
With the tears of grief and shame,
1t was only one of the dramas
That are acted every day,
And the judge on the bench had asked him
What the prisoner had to say.
"The jury has said am guilty"
Was the low, resigned reply,
The law has summoned the hang-man
And said that must die.
But before the God of Heaven
did not kill my friend,
And to the looming scaffold
A guitless man you send
The dram shop did this murder,
And the drink that fred my brain
That mdae me do its bidding.
And held me in its chain.
''But not upon the dram shop
Nor brewery nor stillA
Moron the high officials,
who watch them steal and kill;
But on your skirts, your honor,
And every man who stood
To legalize the gin mill
Is stamped the brand of blood"
His voice rang out like bugle,
No other sound was heard,
While something kin to terror
In all who listened. stirred.
And all the court room covered
Beneath the lash of truth;
The boy seemed judge and jury,
And they the sentenced youth.
For back of the law 8 officials
Is the law that spells my fate. q
And back of the law are the people,
And the people are the State.
NY hands held the murderous weapon,
But back of the dead was the dram shop
And back of the dram shop the law.
And whatsoever hath voted
To license this evil ties
The shameful moose of the hang man
Round the neck of the man who dies.
And on his hands are the blood drops
And on his brow sign
That he is the man who sheddeth
My dead friend blood and nine"
Then back to his cell they led him
And there Oh the trap he'll stand;
And the bloody farce will be acted
Again and again in the land.
And every Redeemed gibbet
Shall be for a nations blame;
For every ballot is crimson
That Is cast for nations shame
