The Moral Of Esotism.

Caligula arose from his couch one
day along about 40 A. D, and an
nounced TO the Roman people he
was a god.
CaIiguia had horse, and he de-
cided that this horse should be
raised toa consulship. This Roman
emperor was very much satisfied
with himself
He could not understand why his
people were not as well satisfied and
in an ontburst of fury he longed
that all the Romans had but one
head that be might cut it off.
The Romans should have been ex-
ceedingly thankful that they had
such a wise aud wonderful ruler, ac-
cordiug to Caligula. But they were
not, and Sabinus and some kindred
spirits assassinated him.
We have IN our day vast multi
tude of people who are self-satisfied
and wonder why their fellowmen are
not more thankful that they are dec
Grating the universe by their pres
ence.

the strides it should and must
make?
Perhaps you are wise in law and
you think all laws are just Foolish

You are an editor maybe? The

or the school house bonds should or
should not be issued?

THE EDITORS DREAM.


"Last evening / was talking
With an editor aged and gray,
Who told me of a dream be had,
/ think twas Christmas day.
While snoozihg in his office
The vision game to view,
For he saw an angel enter,
Dressed in garments white and
new. '''
Said the angel, 'Fm from heaven,
The Lord just sent me down
To bring you up to glory,
And put on your golden crown.
You've been a friend to every
one,
And worked hard night aud day,
You've supported many thou
sands,
And from few received your pay.
SO we want you up in glory,
For you have labOred hard,
And the good Lord is preparing
Your eternal, just reward.
Then the angel and the editor
Started up toward heavens gate
But when passing close to hades,
The angel murmured Wait!
i have a place to show you.
It's the hottest place in HE'LL
Where the ones thar never paid
you,
In torment always dwell.
Aud, behold the editor saw there
His old subscribers by the score.
And grabbing up chair and
fan,
He wished for nothing more:
But was bound to sit and watch
them
As they'd sizzle. SINCE and burn,
And his eyes would rest on deb
tors .c
Whichever way they'd turn,
Said the angel, Come on Editor.
There's the pearly gates to see,
But the Editor only muttered,
this is heaven enough for me. J."
