Let Children Play.

From the nursery TO the narrow
house is but relief journey, and in
that brief space between the two
termini the pleasantest domain ought
to be that of childhood. Children
alone, of human beings, have the
capacity of unadulterated enjoyment.
Their childhood, therefore, should be
the holiday of life; its slave-day will
soon be upon them and then farewell
forever to the merry world, without
a responsibility, a fear or a care,
which is their rightful abiding-place
until bore out into the tumult and
the strife of the great maelstrom.
Tasks they must learn, duties they
must be taught but those who know
how to interest the developing mind
and to find it wisely with the element
of knowledge, can make education one
of childhood's pleasure.

He Hit il Right.

A numerous looking man went into
a store the other day and sat down fol-
half an hour or so, when a clerk ask
ed MIN if there was anything he could
do for MIN. He said no, he didn't
want anything. He went away and
came back and sat an hour or so
longer, when the proprietor went to
him and asked if ne wanted 10 be

nest determination and fearless patri-
otto purpose are all ours. The work OF
organization should. therefore, proceed
on lines safe and sane, till every Re-
publican in every precinct be within
reach. No movement that goes not
into detail, that omits any precaution
necessary to bring the entire party
strength into line, can succeed.
The Republican host in Kentucky
numbers $4,000 men. Every fifty of
these should have Captain, every 300
colonel; every 5000 a General. In
the Hon. A. E. Wilson the party has
a Commander-in-chief with the COM
prehensiveness of Washington, the
daring of Jackson, the fearlessness
of a Grant. His lieutenants are all
men of worth and power. No one but
inspires confidence. No platform ever
called so urgently for enthusiastic
support.

Would Be Suicidal.

To build a new Tariff law would
be the most difficult task the next
Congress could possibly undertake. II
would invite the opposition of every
section of the country. New Eeng-
land wants certain schedules lowered
while the West wants the same sched-
ules left as they are. The South and
West will naturally want other sched-
ules lowered to which the East will
strenuously object. 1t is obvious.
therefore, that no general revision
can be had without a long struggle
and only after multitude of compro-
misses, the result Of which no one can
foretell. Why, then, should the party
enter upon proceeding of so doubt
full propriety when there is no general
demand for it? What business con-
ditions warrant change of certain
schedules there will be no objection
to having them, but, until that time
arrives, it would be suicidal for Re-
publicans to rush headlong into la

something for which there is no de-

Americans wandering about the Pr

What one Bible can do.

One hundred and eight years ago Pi
Grain Islands had no inhabitants. At
that time nine wicked sailors, who
had sent their captain adrift in an
open boat on that wide, lonely south
ern ocean, landed here to hide away
from punishment.
In ten yearst hey were all dead but
one, six of them having been murder
ed. The one left, to take care of
their wives which they had taken frc l
Tahiti, and their twenty little child
ren, was John Adams. The only
book he had was Bible, and he went
to it to find out what to do for these
poor little ones.
The precious Bible was the saving
of them all. 1t taught John Adams
to repent of his crimes, and to love
the Lord. He became a new man,
and good and kind friend. The
children all called him father, and he
taught them to read and write and to
obey and trust the Saviour. They
obey and trust the Saviour. They
grew up to be good, industrious and
christian people.
For twenty-five years they had only
that one book to read; so it was well
studied and dearly loved. Their life
is beautiful token of what the Bible
can do.

No Farmer Peasantry for America

fective Tariff for Great Britain he
won the admiration of the agricultur-
Il interests and the bitter hatred OF

factories. Few Of his countrymen full

surprised them and gave them a
queer little pull at their American
heartstrings by saying his black eyes
swapping with fun and the magnitude
of the achievement: "Skeedoo! Skee-
doo Twanty-thr-r-r-reee!" Then he
vanished with burst of laughter.

esting. Late that same afternoon the
same couple came from the Cata-
combs into the white glare of the
Appian way, five miles from the
Piazza d'Espagna. They had hardly
stepped into the street before the
same urchin was at them again, and
when he recognized them he was as
amused as they. This time he did
not offer them any cards, but simply
held out his hand and said: "Skee-
