Came Near It.

Wit and humor are such elemental,
fundamental things that 1t has al
ways been found difficult to analyze
them. Upon some points, however,
those who have essayed this puzzling
task agree, for they all hold that wit
IS an intellectual, humor an emotional,
quality; that wit is perception of re-
semblance and humor a perception Of
contrast, Of discrepancy, of incongru-
ity. The incongruity Is that which
arises between the ideal and the fact,
between theory, and practice, between
promise and performance, and perhaps
it might be added that it is always or
almost always moral incongruity. In
the case both of wit and humor there
is also pleasurable surprise, a gentle
shock which accompanies our percep-
ton Of the hitherto unsupported re-
semblance or incongruity. A New
England farmer was once describing
in the presence of very humane per-
son the great age and debility Of q
horse that he formerly owned and
used. "You ought to have killed him.
interrupted the humane person indig-
nantly. "Well," drawled the farmer,
1--WE did-almost." -Atlantic.

A Strenuous Statesman.

In his ECLIPSE and O'Kelly'' Theo-
dore Andrea Cook tells story of the
English statesman and sport Fox. He
had wagered something about waist
coat which could only be obtained in
Paris; went off to Dover by night,
caught the mail packet, posted to Par
is and back to Calais, and remembered
he had horse racing at Newmarket.
He chartered fishing boat bound for
the eastern counties, just got to New
market in time for the race, took the
post back to London and stopped on
the way to dine In the middle Of the
port and dice after dinner he was
caught by a special messenger who had
been tearing over half of England in
search Of him and reminded that he
had to move to bring in marriage bill
In the house Of commons. He rushed
to the stables, reached the house in
time to make brilliant speech in re-
ply to North and Burke and defeated
North on a division by single vote.

Majestic Weboter.

Theodore Parker gave the following
graphic description OF Daniel Webster
In the famous three hour sermon
preached soon after Websters death:
He was a man of large mold, q
great body and a great brain. He
seemed made to last hundred years.
Since Socrates there has seldom been
head SO massvely large save the
stormy features Of Michael Angelo.
Since Charlelnagne ! think there has
not been such Il grand figure in all
Chrlstendom. A large man, decorous
in dress, dignifed in department he
walked rs If he felt himself q king.
The coal beavers and porters of London
looked on him as one Of the great
forces of the globe. They recognized
native king. In the senate Of the
United States he looked an emperor in
that council. Even the majestic Cal
houn seemed common compared with
him. Clay looked vulgar and Van
Buren, but fox. What mouth he
had! It was lions mouth, yet there
was a sweet grandeur in the smile and
woman's softness when he would.
What brow it was! What eyes-like
charcoal fires in the bottom of deep,
dark well! His face was rugged with
volcanic fires-great passions and great
thoughts, "The front of Jove himself;
an eye like Mars, to threaten and COM
mand."

Commitments + Er-Death,

There is a German proverb which
says, Man DART nur sterben UNI gelobt
zu werden" I'VE need only die in order
to get praised). This, we cannot help
but admit, is fairly true in general
sense, and if we required any proof or
confirmation the epitaphs in ceme-
teries, churchyards and churches
would readily furnish it. Indeed If we
had no other testimony to go by than
these pious inscriptions we might al
most fancy that men and, women had
arrived at such state Of perfection
that they were little less than angels.
Death, like time, is great healer Of
wounds, great soother Of passions, a
great calmer Of turbulent thoughts, a
slayer Of enmity. He is the peace
maker par excellence, having caused
the saying to gain general currency
that we should say nothing of the dead
but what is good. Among the laws Of
the "Twelve Tables" compiled by the
Decemviri, there was one which, in
fact, forbade to speak 1njuriously Of
the dead. 1t is in exchange for this
doubtless that we are always doubly
anxious and ready to vilify the living.

A Spurqeon Ruse,

Spurgeon, the famous English d.
vine, once passed stonemason who,
after each stroke of his hammer, ours
ed and swore. Mr.. Spurgeon laid his
hand on his shoulder and, looking kind
~ at him, said: "You are an adept at
swearing. Can you also pray?"
With another oath he replied, mot
very likely"
Holding up 5 shillings, Mr.. Sturgeon
said If he would promise never to pray
he would give him that.
'"That is easily earned" said the
man, with fresh oath, and put it in
his pocket. When Spurgeon left the
man began to feel a little queer. When
he went home his wife asked him what
allied him, and he told her. 1T is Ju-
das' money" said the man, and on a
sudden impulse he threw it into the
fire. The wife found it and took it
out and discovered who had given it
to him. The man took it back to Spur
geon, who conversed long with him,
warning him, and at length was the
means of saving him. He became an
attached member Of his flock.

THE GAMBLING MANIA
REV. DIR. r. T.. GOODSPEED
SPEAKS ON THIS QUESTION

Rev. DR.. F. L. Goodspeed says:
History and literature prove that
gambling is an ancient vice. 1t is
said that loaded dice were dug from
the ruins OF Sodom and Gomorrah.
Today this mania possesses all elias
ses. 1t makes the gentleman it's
slave and the laborer its dupe. Wo-
men, children, the poor. the rich
all are infected with the spirit of
speculation. Office boys and clerks
play the horses" with all the money
they can earn Of borrow. Servant
girls and negroes buy policy slips.
and professional gamblers hover
