Violence on the part Of the brother dearly

Of the sermon as she was when the text

RETURN OF GLADNEsS.
Detroit Free Press.

There is laughter in the sunshine and
there's music in the air.
There's q new green In the valley, and
there's color everywhere;
Now the lilac trees are budding and the
skies above are blue,
And the daffodls are shining in their
diamonds Of dew
Every morning near my window / can
hear the robins call
And the sparrows chirp and twitter, there
is Eladness over all!
And / look across the meadow where the
sunbeams dance and play,
Winters silences are broken, JOY is ruling
now the day.
Every brook now laughs and chuckles
as It gallops 10 the sea,
And the air Is filled with singing, there's
bird in every tree.
Every messy dell is fragrant with the
Tolets sweet perfume,
And the hearts OF men and women now
are bursting into bloom.
We are growing kinder, gladder, once
again we start to sing,
And our hearts are beating faster as we
feel the breath OF spring;
Winters siences are broken, once again
ness as the clover's drenched with
dew.
And our hearts are drenched with sweet
the skies are blue,

NEW JERSEYS REVOLUTION.
Notable Showing of Constructive
Work by Legislature.
New York Tribune

New York Tribune.
New Jersey now confronts an accom-
plshed civic revolution. Never before I'm
the history of that state, or probably in
the history of any state in normal times,
have so great changes been effected in
its governmental system in a single
legislative session as those which, under
the urgings OF Governor Wilson, have
been made In the last three months The
whole electoral system. including choice
of election officers. party primaries, plat
forms, forms of ballot and methods of
voting, has been radically transformed.
The most stringent corrupt practices act
in America has been adopted Strong
and sweeping public utilities and en-
ployers' liabilities or workmen's compen-
sation laws have been enacted. The pub
lie school system has been remodeIed. A
law enabling municipalities TO adopt the
commission form OF government has been
placed upon the statute book. The merit
system in the civil service has been greatly
extended and strengthened. The net result
is that while three months ago New Jersey
was one Of the most conservative and
backward states in the union in govern
mental methods, It now stands in the very
forefront as one Of the most radical and
advanced.
For this achievement 1t would be I'M
just and ohurlish not to give the highest
credit TO Governor Wilson. He became
candidate for the governorship and en-
tered upon that office with the explicit
intention of effecting precisely such re-
forms, and he has fulfilled his intentions
and redeemed his ante-election pledges
with completeness unrivalled by any Of
his predecessors I'm anything like com
parable circumstances. In this achieve
ment however, he has enjoyed 10 an ex-
ceptlonal extent the support and active
aid Of the party which is politically op-
posed 20 him. Not one OF these things
could have been done but for the CO
operation OF the republican majority in
the senate and IL doubtful II any OF them
could have been done II the republican
minority in the assembly had opposed
them since there was an opposition 10
the governor in his own party sufficiently
strong TO have defeated his policy had the
republicans been willing to join IL. IL was
an inspiring sight TO see party lines ig-
nored and republicans unanimously voting
for measures proposed by a democratic
governor simply on the ground that they
