We are nearer than we seem


To that land beyond the tide;
And are closer than we dream


To the Rivers ''other side"
For this earthly world of ours


Is not very far away
From the world invisible,


And its neyer-ending day.
And the distance is not great,


And the Journey is but brief;
No ting-place between, to wait,
One moment strife, the next relief.
For we are so very near


To that land beyond the tide;
There is but step between,


Ere we reach the "other side"
What is on that "other side 2


Shall we ever, never know?
When will the waters rounds us close,
And at last behind us flow!
Glimpses ach us on our way,


And ORG my less. sssleits yea.'a--
Of that twilight mystery


More completely yet to learn.
And we walk with weary feet,
And the shadows deeper grow,
As our lite-road leadeth on


Where the silent waters flow.
And the thought comes quick and


sweet,


As the hours and days depart,
Thrilling into newer life


Each faint throbbing of the heart.
We are drawing very near


To that land beyond the tide;
And not long this waiting here,
Ere we reach the "other side!
We are nearer than we seem
To that land beyond the tide
And are closer than We dream !
TO the Rivers 'other side.

telligent appearance, and the speech OF an
educated man, but his eyes have the un-
mistakable CLEAN of insanity. He is al
ways in hurry. and always inquiring for
Charles Garner. This man is Frank A..
Smith, and his mania was strangely devel-
oped. About five years ago he was in
Kansas. In the bar-room of tavern in
which he was staying for a few days he
got into quarrel with bullying frontiers
man, and was finally struck by his aggres-
sive opponent. Believing that his life was
in danger he drew a revolver, at which the
scared Cesperado ran out of the room.
Smith followed and fired but the bullet
probably did no damage, as the man was
not seen that night, nor afterward in that
neighborhood. 1t is supposed that he
dared not return to the tavern at once.
The excitement of the encounter seriously
affected Smith, who was not in good
health, and his morbid fancy made him
think that he had killed his assailant. He
returned to his home in Boston, firmly i'm
pressed that he was a murderer. His
friends have sought for the missing man in
vain, only learning that his name was
Charles Garner, and that he was disso-
lutte vagabond. Smith refuses to be con-
vinced that his delusion is not fact, vet is
always looking for Garner, whom he says
he is certain be must have "shot entirely
out of existence" In all other respects
he is sane.

as they had in determining to
bribe Montgomery to abstract the
Statesman's bid and thus makes an

convicted party to that fraud OF
Montgomery's and would-be bene-

on the he pars t of 1Y the Ii municipal su- thorities in every large city in the United States, says the New York Times, that gambling can be held in check. At first thought, such action seems difficult, as in some States the money which wealthy gamblers handle is freely expended on local legislators, and buys their silence. But any deter imitation on the part of the police in the majority of the cities to "corral" the elegant card-sharpers of all classes, and to pillory them as vagrants, or to keep them wandering from place to place furnished with species of " "ticket-of-leave," and subject to con stant surveillance by officers of the law, would soon drive these sharpers to seek honest employment, or get be- yond the reach of civilization. And it is probable that if such movement was inaugurated, even the most lax cities in the land would be seized with & spasm of virtue, and, for the credit of their names, would join in the general raid.

 The crimes which grow directly out of gambling are too numerous and too we'll known to require specification here. That thousands of unsuspecting persons, whose silly vanity and vacilla- ting principle allow them to begrievous- ly swindled, are yearly ruined in every great city by the vampires who Haunt their indecency in all public thorough fares, is by no means the worst feature of the case. Many mysterious suicide might be laid at the gamblers door. Many brutal murder is prompted by the fatal passion for play-that passion which has been stigmatized in all ages as degrading and dishonorable, yet which is pandered to freely in every large center of population in this Christian land. It is time that @ strenuous effort was made to drive the vice out of every public place, and to put the men who minister to it in such uncomfortable positions that they will gladly give up their chosen wickedness. Nothing but an united crusade through. out the most thickly populated sections of the country can accomplish it. AS it now is, the effects at purification in one city only results in increased de- moraliZation in another.

About this time stoves and heaters and furnaces of all sorts are called into requisition for the comfort of the household. The warmth is indeed grateful when the wintry blasts begin to blow. But unfortunately in connec- tion with the heat, poisonous gases chiefly carbonic acid and carbonic oxide are generated, and they pervade the house, vitiate the air, and cause head aches and other miserable feelings. Closing the damper which IS usually put across the entrance of the smoke fue in the heater or furnace does in- deed check the fire, and it also checks the proper escape of gases. The fire should be controlled by shutting off the air from beneath it. Fresh air should be admitted also to furnace-heated rooms at least twice a day until they are thoroughly aired. If this were done, headaches and colds would be less frequent.

Never be ashamed to apologize when you have done wrong in domestic af- fairs, says an eminent divine. Let that be law of your household. The best thing I ever heard of my grand father, whom I never saw, was this : Once having unrighteously rebuked one of his children, he himself-having lost his patience, and, perhaps, been misinformed of the child's doings- found out his mistake, and in the even ing of the same day gathered all his family together, and said, "Now I have one explanation to make and one thing to say. Thomas, this morning I re- buked you very unfairly; I am sorry for it. I rebuked you in the presence of the whole family, and now I ask your forgiveness in their presence. It must have taken some courage to do that: It was right, was it not? Never be ashamed to apologize for domestic inaccuracy.
