If I Could Only Know.
"Ctt?tiug all your care upon Him, for He
?T. careth lor you."?1Peter v : 7.
If I could only surely know
That all these things that tire me so
Were noticed by my Lord !
The pang that cuts me like a knife, The
noise, the weariness, the strife- What
peace it would attord !
I wonder if He really shares
In all these little human cares,
This mighty King of kings!
If He who guides through boundless space
Each blazing planet in its place,
Can have the condescending grace
To mind these petty things.
It seems to me, if sure of this,
Blent with each ill would come such bliss
That I mightcovet pair,
And deem whatever brought to me
The loving thought of Deity,
And sense of Christ's sweet sympathy,
Not loss, but richest gain.
Dear Lord, my heart shall, no more doubt
That fhou dost compass me about
With sympathy divine;
The love for me once crucified
is not the love to leave my side,
But waWeth ever to divide
Each smallest care of mine.
? In the Loo? Run.
,i . In tiie long run all love is paid by love.
Though undervalued by the hearts of earth ;
The great eternal Government above
Keeps strict account, and will redeem its
WSFK.
Gi ve thy love freely; do not count the cost.
Ho beautiful a thlnu was never lost
ie In the long run.
Ike's Strange Visitors.
I ke Carlton was such a cruel boy!
He would pull off the wings of tlies,
pin live butterflies to boards, break in
the backs of turtles, and amputate the
i legs of frogs. When any one remonj
strated with hiui about his cruelty, he
would cry, "Oh, pshaw! they can't
feel much," and then go iu quest of
another victim. The long summer
days he devoted almost entirely to his.
wicked sport, and in time all the
neighbors spoke of him as "Hardhearted
Ike Carlton." To be sure, the
boy hud uo kind parents to teach him
hotfpr and the aunt who was bringing
him up cared very little what he was
about as long as he wa9 not troubling
Lher. v
One night Ike had not been in bed
very long when a brilliant light suddenly
filled his room, and he sprany
up to see what caused the illumination.
There, seated iu his besfretiair, he beheld
an immense Ciii. The animal was
..-actually larger than Ike himself, and
by the time Ike had recovered from
his astonishment at seeing this visitor
he discovered on another chair a turtle
almost as big as the cat. Near by
be saw a butterfly of extraordinary
size, and, when his eyes opened wider,
he found out that all the beats in the
room were occupied by just such
strange visitors. In fact, there were
more than the chairs could accommodate,
and these were seated on the
floor. Presently they all began to talk
at once, and they made such a hubbub
that the cat rapped on a little stand he
had drawn up in front of him and
said, with a very serious manner,
"The meeting will please come to order."
i.iutontiir nil vnir>ps were hushed.
* '"""""J ?
and then a frog who was present stood
up on his hind legs, and looked so very
funny that Ike would have laughed
- outright had not the creature's word*
struck terror to his heart.
"Mr. President," began the frog, "as
the chairman of the committee for preventing
cruelty to insects and animals
of all descriptions, 1 arise to state what
the committee has decided to do. We
intend to make the la?t and greatest offender
feel what our brothers and sisters
have suffered. The culprit is the
boy, Ike Carlton. Mr. House Fly is to
pull out his eye-lashes aud a large
bunch of hair."
"Oh! but that will hurt!" yelled
Ike from the seaft which he had UikeB
on his bed.
"That is no consideration," said Mr.
President. "You had ne thought foi
the feelings of Mr. Fly's brothers when
you cruelly pulled off'their wings and
legs, and left them to suffer. That
hurt, too."
"Mr. Bull-frog," continued the chairman
of the committee, "you are to cut
"ff* ahq rvf hie liiora "
Vil VUV Vi UIW ?V^W*
"You wicked thing!" screamed Ike,
"you don't know what a painful operation
that is. Besides, 1 can't walk
without my leg."
"Neither could Mr. Bull-frog's brother,"
answered' the cat; "but you cut
oft' his leg, and left him wounded and
bleeding. It hurt him just as much as
it will you."
Ike groaned, and wished he had not
interfered with frogs. He remembered
that he bad thus cruelly treated a
poor, helpless one that very morning.
"You, Mr. President, are to step on
him, and kick him nil around the
room."
"I won't stand it," cried Ike.
"But you will be compelled to staud
it," calmly spoke the president. "You
made my poor mother endure your
kicks aud aDUses."
"I'll run out of the room," thoughl
Ike, and he quietly slipped to the door,
only to find it locked and the key
gone. Then he sat down in despair,
and waited for further developments."
' And last, but not least," said the
chairman of the committee," Mr. Yellow
Butterfly is to pin him to a board <
so fast that he will nave to stick there i
and suffer till he dies." I
Ike was in agony. Could it be possi- I
ble that these creatures would be cruel I
enough to kill him? I
"Oh. please, Mr. Cat, don't let them
murder me!" he cried, dropping on i
his knees before the president. '! am I
my aunt's only nephew, aud she
would grieve very much if I met such 1
a violent death. And, then, think
Jmw it would hurt to have a pin stuck I
through my body !"
"But you didn't consider the pain '
when you stuck pins through the
bodies of many of Mr. Yellow Butter- 1
fly's relations. Neither did you think
of the sorrow of the mourners. We
must make an example of some boy, ;
or these abuses will go on to the end of
time. You are the worst offender, aud i
at the last meeting we deckled to make
an example of you. Our relations are
just as sensilive to pain as you are, Mr.
Ike Carlton, and have as much right to
enjoy the trood things of this world as
V you have."
"But I don't think how it all hurt,"
pleaded the frightened hoy, "and I'll
promise never, never, never to do it
again."
After that speech the committee had
a consultation, and returned to say
that they thought it better to show no
mercy. If once let loose, the boy
would be as bad as before, and cruel
boys had become the terror of the entire
animal and insect world.
Still Ike continued his pleadings,
but the president turned down his furry
ears and said to the members,
"Form in line."
First came Mr. House Fly, who was :
all ready to tear out Ike's hair and eyebrows;
next came Mr. Bull-frog with
his big knife, prepared to amputate the
boy's leg; then Mr. President, ready
to do his part of the abusing, and lastly
Mr. Yellow Butterfly, carrying a '
{irodigious pin with which he was to >
asten the unhappy boy to a board. i
"Oh, mercy ! mercy !" screamed Ike,
and with those words his horrible visi- I
tors vanished, and he awoke to the
fact that he had been dreaming. "At <
any rate," he said to himself, with a!]
shiver, "J have been taught a lesson, i
?^2; ;
and I'll keep tbat promise I made to'
Mr. President. It will be easy enough,!
too, for I never again could hurt a liv-l
ing thing without feeling what I felt'in
my dream."
The neighbors wondered thereafter j
what had caused such a marvelous1'
change to come over Ike C'arlton, forj
be grew to be so gentle with insects
and animals that his companions for-!
got his old nature, and gave him the
name of "Ike Carlton, the tenderhearted

<ientlemeii of Tlie Secular Press, on 1
Wliieh Side ?
If the secular press were charged <
with being unfriendly to the cause of 1
morals, there would be from all but i
anarchist journals au indignant deni- i
al. Indeed many of the secular pa- .
pers claim to be aids to the Church in (
futhering the gospel and moral*. .
And yet, a secular daily paper of great ?
influence in the South, of fine editori- ;
al ability, within a week's time has j
iiven something after this kindk A
man goes deranged in a distant oiaie. i}
The condition of his health, the state 11
of his business, the possibility of fam- ]
ily distress, and a thousand other 1
causes of mental trouble are ignored, |
and with the fact that he had joined i
the Church a few mouths before iusid- t
uously connected with the statement j
of his mental trouble, the telegram is I
headed : "To ftluch Religion." t
The paper that headlines a fact oi |
mental derangement in that manner, i
cannot be uniformly friendly to relig- f
ion. If it takes much religion to |
make men insane, the sanity of the (
paragraphing editor is assured, unless }
a very gr^at and marvelous change i
shall come him. Religion is the cause 1
of no unsoundness of mind. It is the |
Jl frig it a Chart a of the intellect. (
The statistics of insanity attribute '
hundreds of cases to other causes -to <
sin in some of its forms?for each case <
that is due religion. \
Again: the secular paper above <
mentioned tells its readers of a crank (
?meaning, of course, a halX-sn^.L
fellow. The mark of hi* "crankiness
was this; Having defrauded the Gov
eminent of its dues, unci having come
to repentauce, he sent a large sum to
the ''conscience fund," at Washington,
as his first instalment of the restitution
he intended to make. This mag- t
nificent spectacle of the majesty ol
conscience in man, and of a man" tri- t
umpiring over his previous sin and i
covetousness, is, according to the editor,
the exhibition of crankiness. It 1
is an uuusual exhibition I suppose an j
an exhibition some people are incapable
of understanding ; but if this is 1
crankiness, what is wisdom ? It must t
be wisdom in the mind of the editor,
unless he was improperly joking with J
serious things, tonold what a man has, ?
no matter how he has gotten it, or to <
whom it really belongs, is his own
merely because he holds it. Is he a t
disciple of Iago ? The sentimeut inui <
makes honorable restitution for wrong t
a murk of folly may be found in keep- i
ing with ability to run a newspaper
but the paper to that extent is not run t
in the interests of decency or eiviliza- I
tion. i
*'uthermore: an earnest editorial, c
manly and outspoken, touching the
attempt of the Louisiana State Lot- n
tery to indirectly bribe the Legisla- c
ture by the otter of $100,000 for levee s
purposes, attended with a standing ad- c
vertisement of the corrupt and corrupting
concern. The editorial is '
commendable. The advertisement of t
the thing it condemns is disgraceful. >
Twelve minus twelve leaves nothing. I
Just that represents the value of u
secular paper to the cause of morals
when it advertises a tiling it editorially
condemns.
Now these singular facts concern- ^
ing an exchange have fallen under the i
writer's eye within a very short space t
or lime, in one paper, it uuc, um v
that paper is in geueral a fair speci- i
men of others. Gentlemen of the see- I
ular press, what are you going to do '
about these matters? If the Louis- t
iaiia State Lottery merits reprobation, s
why do you give your columns to advertising
it? If the restitution of I
stolen gain is a duty, why call a man ?
"crank" who gives up the stealage oi n
the past? If religion is worthy of t
having, why give it currency as an t
overthrower of the mind ? \
On which side? The religious and e
the decent people of this country are c
yetting fatigued with this straddling s
business, whereby one leg kicks for i
the devil and the other for the Lord, s
Calling religion the nursery of insani- v
ty, and otherwise feebly commending s
it; marking a disgorging preverter of J
trusts funds as a "crankt" for giving o
up what is another's, and yet advo- e
eating'honesty ; denouncing lotteries
by editorial and aiding them by ad- *
vertisement; is very unique strad- r
dling. You don't ride well. Dis- t
mount, and kick all your kicking on f
one side. a

Men to Beware of.
Samuel W. King, at tlie head of one
of the largest legal collection concerns
in tne country, has met and seen every
type of man. From his observations
lie has made the following deductions,
Imd them printed, and hung in his of- .
lice :
Beware of the man who 'Swears by \
>ill the gods at once," or one at a time, y
lor that matter.
Of the man who slaps you between c
the shoulders and calls you "old man." 1
No amount of familiarity is an excuse ?
for this.
Of the man who hyphenates his s
words with "er a."
Of the man whose salutation is, I
"What's the news?"
Of the man who asks you, when he
has seen you speak to another, "Who's )
your friend?" *
Of the man who asks you "Where 1
did you get it?" r
Of the man who in leaving savs. .
"See you later."
Of the man who pokes you in the
ribs when he is talking.
Of the man who adjusts the lapel of
your coat or rubs one sleeve, or both,
when he is talking to you.
Of the man who talks to you on the
train, or on a streei ear, when he never
saw you before, unless there is a public
crisis. Victor Hugo says that such salutations
show public anxiety, and are
only excusable when there is public
excitement. Sensible fellow, that Hugo.
Of a man who occupies a whole table*
in the writing room of a hotel.
Of the man who can't get out of a
chair without kicking it from under
him.
Of the man who drops Into a drug
store to look up a name in the directo- ^
ry and hangs onto the book as if it
were a new novel when he sees three
or four others waiting to look up 1
names. t
Of the man who stands at the box >
office of a theatre when there is a
crowd back of him, talking about best 1
seats and other topics. a
The woman who will do this is no i
better. She isn't as good as a man. c
Finally?Beware of the man who i
comes but never goes, and of his com- j
panion picture, the man who starts to s
?o but doesn't.?Chicago Tribune. i

The Empty Form.
"I have nothing to regret," said a
young man, as he stood looking down
upon the still, white face of his dead
mother. "No, I have nothing to regret,
now that she is at rest," he repeated.
"I feel that everything that
could be doue to make her comfortable
was done, but my heart bleeds when I
remember that in all the years to come
her corner will be empty."
Ten years before Burton Gibbons
bad entered college, full of ambitious
plans for the future. At the beginning
af his junior year his father died, but
his mother, anxious that he should
somplete his education, insisted that
he should keep up his studies, but before
a twelve month had passed away,
this precious mother was laid aside by
in incurable disease. The other chilJren
were all married and gone, so
Burton cheerfully gave up his loved
itudie.s and came back to assist his
young sister in caring for the helpless
invalid.
Securing a subordinate position in a
<tore in the village, the young man
liad spent the last seven years of his
ife in ministering to his mother. All
lis bright visions of a grand life had
ieen set aside, that she might lack for
milling, and now at tne enu or mese
shattered years, he could look back
ind say he had nothing to regret.
His own disappointed hopes counted
or nothing. The best years of his
it'e were not lost when they were demoted
to mother. He had no regrets
'or the might have-beens, or the wouldlave-beens,
if things had been difler 111.
No self-denial was a sacrifice
,vheu it was made for mother, and all
lis after years will be blessed by the
knowledge that he did his duty, expecting
no reward but an approving
sonscienee and a mother's benediction,
rh3 whole current of his life was
jhanged when he turned his back up)U
his college friends, but the aching
^oid in hi9 heart at sight of the gfilpty
jorner was all that troubled Rim, when,
he dear mother was called up higher.

to an enemy to indicate a desire
for a narlev or consultation.
A flag at halt' mast means mourning.
Fishing and other vessels return with

The Art of Taking Lkavb.?
A'hen Madame de Stael visited Wei
nar with the avowed intention of inellectually
capturing tlie literary lions
>f the day?Gloeihe and Schiller? she
nade one fatal mistake; she stayed too
ong. Goethe wrote to Schiller:
Madame de Stael is a bright, enteraining
person, but she ought to know
vhen it is time to go."
The art of leaving is less understood
>y women than by men. The habits
>f business, the recognized fact that to
i business man time is money, the
hrong and press and exactingness of
meiness life, all tend to make men
vho live in cities the best possible exmplars
of the line art of leaving
[uicklyand neatly. A business man's
ocial call is usually a model of good
nanuers in this respect. When he has
aid what he ha? to say and listened to
vhat there is to hear, he takes his hat
ays, "good evening," and is out of
our presence without giving any time
?r chance for the too often tedious and
mbarrassing common-places of mutui!
invitations and promises, to call,
vnicn seem to up a kiuu oi soemi mr11
ula with woman. Iu striking eourast
with this neat and skilful method
if cutting short the parting words of
in interview or call is the too common
ocial practice of visitors who, comnencing
to leave, seem temporarily to
bandon their purposes and then lin;er
as though it were a kind of com)linient
to the visiting party to appear
oth to part company.

Naval Review.
During the debate in the Senate of
he United States upon the proposition
o hold a grand Naval Review at New
fork harbor, April, 1S93?during" the
tVorld's Fair?Senator Blair said he
ipposed the proposition of holding n
laval review as fostering the spirit of
var; that accursed institution?the
>adge of savagery, infernal war?
hould be abolished ; aud this country
vas strong enough to initiate the era of
>euce. He ottered an amendment em
lowering the President to hold an exsi
bition of the public schools and n re'iew
of the puttlic school children in
Chicago. He also offered an amendnent
for the erection of a statue in
nemory of Queen Isabella of Spain.
Senator Plumb said his objection to
he naval review proposition was not
hat it would cost a half million dolars,
more or less, and probably present
icenes of drunkenness that would
nitig grief to the hearts of a great
nany people, but because it was essenially
a monarchial iden. Two monirchs
never came together without a
lisplay of the instruments of naval
varfare. That ought to be wiped out
>f the whole business. The United
?tatcs ought to show the dihVrence be,weeu
a monarchy based on arms and
i republic based on the legitimate puritiits
of peace. (If the amendment
,vere adopted he should regret that he
lad ever voted for a single ship over
vhich had floated the ling of (he
\merican republic.)
The proposition was "agreed to,"
