EprsoN,s NEW INVENTION.

Thomas A. Edison has announced
that he is now working upon an APP
paratus by means Of which he hopes
to effect indispdtable communication
between the dead and those who still
live.
He is quoted as saying that he is
proceeding on the theory that in the
very nature OF things the degree of
material or physical powers possessed
by those in the next life must be ex-
tremely slight and that, therefore, any
instrument designed so that they can
communicate with us must be super
delicate, as fine and responsive as hu-
man ingenuity can make it. 1t is
such an instrument that he expects to
have completed within a few months
and he predicts that If successful it
will cause a tremendous sensation"
1t will.
If, on the other hand, there is no
apparent response, he says then the
chance of there being a hereafter OF
the kind we think about and imagine
goes down."
It generally has been understood
that Mr.. Edison himself does not be-
lieve in a hereafter. Therefore he Il
in a wholly safe position as regards his
invention. If the invention prove sue
cessful, to him will go the glory OF
his accomplishment. If It fail his
theory regarding the future will have
been indicated to his entire satisfac-
ton.
He IS playing a game of "heads !
win; tails you lose" And he is I'M
likely in any event to weaken the
confidence of those who already be.

Greeley, in the New York Tribune,
heartily supported Lincoln, and de-

at the same time he said that no one
would pretend to think Mr.. Lincoln a.
great man. The New York Herald
thought the choice between "Old Abe"
and Little Mac" was choice between
evils, not between excellencies. For a
time during the heat of the campaign
it appeared that Lincoln had no
friends among the leaders and the
newspapers. Carping critics dissected
his every act. But the great mass of
the people were for him. When the
election was over he had carried
twenty-five of the twenty-five states
which voted, receiving 212 electoral
votes to McClelian's II. Mcclellan
carried only New Jersey, Kentucky
and Delaware.

THE DIVINE DAY.

Over the brink, like some great
Niagara, does each one of our days
fall.
In preparation are we hourly living.
Everything that we do becomes i'm
mediately a part of some finished or
unfinished job-something distinctly
set apart by us as a heritage from
what we have done with our day.
A circle of divinity binds every one
of our days. Because each one be-
longs first of ALTO people.
In the same way as the Creator of
the flowers touched each one, giving to
1t it's own particular perfume so did
He in the first place breathe into each
day an eternal Importance.
You should wallSSinto your day hap
PLY and gladly.
And you should come to the end of
each one of your days with some sense
of genuine satisfaction. Not that you
did everything that you planned or
wanted to do, but that you did some
things well and good
Life is a chain of days. And If you
link into it more weak and incomplete
days than the entire chain can stand.
your hands before half your days have
come.
Let us finish our days as real men
and women of uncommon mold, so
that behind each sunset we may
breathe this prayer:
Give me to sleep; give me to wake
Guided and shod, and bid me play
The hero il the COMING day!''
