The man who is a jolly good (ellow my men and a mean ehnnh with NI (a-ily. and the lellow who he- longs to the liolineae Alliance but can’t make a straight settlement on a hill of goods, are brothers. The devil takes pride in the man who tells his experience at the prayer meeting and who is not on speaking terms with his wife. The man who is known in the church as a pillar and to those who do business with him as a screw. is the most patent agency the prince of darkness has in this world for the overthrow of the king- dom of light. What this age sufiers from morally as well as commercially is the tremendous amount of stuff put on the market that is nOt up to sam- ple. On Sunday a man will sing ”All the way my Saviour leads me " ad on Mondny morning he will make delibernte | hoice of the “ primrose pub" instead of the ‘ narrow way Another men will sigh Gob-OI. in tho Shoo m Lather Joann.) “ Take my silver and m ' gold Not a mite would I wit hold.“ and it is like pulling teeth to get anything out of him for a case of charity or for the missionary cause} In business there are some men who can tell you how to run a store or a factory successfully, who have never demonstrated their theories in prac- tice. Some of the finest essays on business methods have been written by those who are as familiar with the methods of winding up a business practically as they are in running it theoretically. What an amount of Mambo; there is in the world, and we have not to go far to discern this. At the house where you live you can study this out. ' The authorities spend a lot of time and money trying to kill off gambling houses and bucket shops, and the business goes on an as large a scale under their noses in a difierent form. It all depends on what you steal and how you steal whether you will be given a government job at board wages. That has been proven. It all depends what oou gamble in and show large are your stakes. whether you will be known by the vulgar name of gambler or the more eupho- nioua appellation of ‘° operator.” If you put your money on the ace or stake your little pile in roulette, you may find a hand on your collar and be lined up before the "beak.” If you “operate” on the street you may be lionized by commercial circles. pet- tod by society and advertised by the newspapers as a skilful or nervy financier. Even ministers of the gos- pol find it respectable as well as con-i venient to supplement their stipends with gains from stock deals. and some of them are as familiar with the stock list and the trend of the market as they are with theology and rhetoric perhaps a trifle better. Here is one of those anomalies that must puzzle the very devil, who must often be highly amused at the fine distinctions men draw between right and wrong. To make smoco in one slap on the fictitious advance of a railroad stock 'v-vâ€"v is respectable end commendable; to win 060 in one night on s iero layout is low end criminal. Just so long as the church and society wink at such distinctions will the former remain eomperetively powerless to cope with the rising tide of commercial immor- dity. end the letter sufler from the periodical demoralizetion that comes with such scenes as those enacted recently in New York. MORAL SMALLPOX. ' If people were hell es much afraid of morsl disease as they are of physi. .v-vvâ€" “-â€" cal. ministers would be as busy daily' as the doctors are when a smallpoxl scare starts. By the way it is said that dirt is the origin of smallpox. and that the eruption is the effort of the physical organism to throw it off The same law holds in the spiritual as in the physical world. If dirt be in a man it will be sure to come to the surface and show whether upon his body or his soul. That is the reason there are so many pockmarked peeple in society and in business. A man with a pure clean heart will be clean in hands. face. mouth and every l other manifestation. When you hear} a fellow telling dirty stories. saying nasty things of othersgor using pro i fane language. you can say to your- self " moral small pox.” When you see the “pits" of meanness. averice. cunning. overreaching. brutality and diehonesty upon a man's life you may depend upon it that he is a moral sin- ner, and that which is bred in the bone has come out in the flesh. The need of innoculation in a world infected with moral filth and disease should send every man to the fountain of “ wisdom from above that is first; pure, then peaceable. gentle. easy to be entreated. full of mercy and good Irnite, without partiality. without ‘ .” It is a sad thing that at the presence of smallpox in a town a hundred miles 08, when they will it down with complacenoe and let the virus of an impure heart corrupt their whole moral life. 301' UP 1‘0 EAIPLE.

Life is sweet. and the saint clings to it as tenaciously as the sinner. A prominent preacher was warned byl his physician some time since that he must have a change, or take the con- sequences. He was advised to go to California for six months but emphatically declined. saying that he could not afford the time. “It is California or heaven,” said the .medical man grimly. The divine' purchased a ticket for the Coast the'? following week. To want to die is not a natural thing. to wish to live is common to the oldest patriarch if he is sound in mind and comfortable in circumstances. Yet men mort- gage their years as cheerfully as they would a scrub farm. It seems useless to tell a young fool or an old rake that the " years of the wicked shall be shortened.” They scoff at your warning and rail at your ad- vice. Yet the truth is backed up every day by the death notices in the papers and the attitude of insur- ance corporations. The latter know well the inevitable and unchangeable penalty of vice and wrongdoing. and guard their interests by refusing to incur the risk of insuring the drunk- ard and libertine. You can’t drain your physical resources constantly to the very dregs with sinful prac- tice. and build up a constitution. You can’t encourage the fires of a dissolute life or feed the fever of an uncurbed passion or appetite, and come out on the shady side of fifty with physique to carry you to the l“ three score years and ten.” You ’cannot allow the poison of a corrupt social or business life to permeate your whole being without realizing before you become older than Byron, the words he wrote at thirty-five. “ Hy life is in the eereand yellow leaf, The newerandfrnit of he are gone, The worn, the canker, the grief Arenbealone.

Better keep the bottle in your pocket and not in your month next time, George. Mr. Chas.

Few men in the county do more to keep their money circulating among the farmers than the same energetic Charlie. Mr. Jae. Brown is greatly improw ing the looks of his house by adding a new verandah.

Proper Treatment for a Sprained Ankle As a rule a man will feel well sat- isfied if he can bobble around on crutches two or three weeks after spraining his ankle. and it is usually two or three months before he has fully recovered. This is an unneces- sary loss of time. for in many cases in which Chamberlain’s Pain Balm has been promptly and freely applied a complete cure has been efiected in one week’s time, and in some cases within three days.

The Smith’s Folls'News ssys.-â€"â€"] “One day recently, while the Sal- vation Army was holding s service in Kingston, s Clayton youth con- tributed his last quarter to the cause. and received a smile from one of the lassies for his generosity. The youth then stepped up and ~vvhispered, "VVhere unsy' I nneet lyou?’ The reply came with a still Xmore bewitching smile. ‘ In Heaven, ldearfl” ”Umbrella $1 up,” said a sign in a store window. “ How much down,” asked a face- tious customer. ‘ "Oh! said the salesman with his almost human intelligence beaming 'in his eyes: “ you are speaking of lthe umbrella. while I am speaking. [of the price.” 9 “ Ah. I see,” the customer respond- !ed. “ It’s the price that is 81 up.” ‘° All cash down,” the salesman answered innocently; “ this is no credit house.” " But I mean how much do I have to put up for an umbrella put down?” The salesman looked seriously per- plexed. " We have them Irom 31 up,” he said. " I know.” replied the customer; “ but I don’t want to buy one up. I want to buy it down. I can put it. up for myself.” Then it isn’t $1 down as you said before?” “ Exactly.” “ Um-er-maybe I’d better call the proprietor.” And Billy hurried away to tell his employer there was a crazy man at the umbrella. counter. So you see, even store peeple have their ups and downs. . Best way to keep it small is not to i call the doctor, but use Nerviline in- stead. For minor ailments like colds. coughs, chills, carmps, head- ache and stomach trouble Nerviline is just as good as the doctor. It breaks up acold in one night, cures soreness in the chest, and for Neu- ralgia toothache and rheumatism you can’t get anything half so good as Nerviline. The fame of Nerviline [or cramps, colic and pain in the stomach extends far and wide. Good for everything a liniment can be good for and costs but 250. year or so. 1 And back there in the village which I left so long ago; Isigh and brush a tear drop as I think of days of yore. And prize their golden moments as . never did before. i When thoughts of youthful pleasures l come and drive away my care. 7 I sometimes fancy I’m a. lad back in ' the old town there. And marching gaily down the street in regimentals grand, lAs proud as any brigadier a-playing in the band. I’d like to be a. boy again just for a They were the gladdest moments which the fates have given me, The time we organized the band. 1‘ think’ twas eighty “three , And with our spirits light and gay and horns all new and bright, We started in the practise in the town hall every night. Of course the neighbors grumbled, for we blew both night and day And my joy. it reached its zenith when we first began to ’.p1ay I’ve heard the famous Sousa and his 1 forty classic men, . But their music did not stir me like i a tune which we played then. I can see the wise old loader standing there to giye us beat, With the boys all sitting ’round him playing on the horns so sweet. I can hear the comet leading and the double bass tone, Hear the altos and the tuners gand the mellow Old trombone. I can hear the snare-drums tapping and the bass-drum’s muflizm roll, And the old time inepiratiuu taker possession of my sow. When the busy city called 1113 With its artificial show. I felt that I was honourcd and I longed so much to go; Then I thought the passing pleasures there were empty, worn and vain, Now it serves to make life brighter just to think of them again; And I’d like to be a boy again and go back there and stay, Just have the things around the same as when I came away : Brush up my dusty uniform to make a showing grand, And with my dented old brass horn be playing in the band. I’d like to be a boy again, with spirits just as light, As when we gathered on the green and played most every night ; Again to take my cornet up and swell its notes so loud, And see the smiling face of my old sweetheart in the crowd. I wonder if they are playing yet that sweet old-time refrain, And if they’d let me play with them should I go back again ; To be a boy just for a night, dressed up in clothing grand. With cornet bright and spirit light a-playing in the band. Is Your Doctor Bill Large. He Got His Answer. Playing In The Band. Ups and Downs 0.0 Gv~4 â€"anf. C. 81.01:.
