Every Man
A Capitalist
You can become a capitalist atj
once by laying by a small part of j
your yearly income and invest-!
ing it in a Tontine policy of the j
Equitable Life
For $20 you can instantly se-1
cure a capital of $1,000 (or for ;
$200 a capital of $10,000), thus !
acquiring an estate which you
may leave to your lieirs, or re'
tain as a fund for your own
support in old age, if your life
' be prolonged.
Such a step will prompt you
to save, will strengthen your
credit, will increase your confidence,
will preserve you from
care and will give you lasting
satisfaction.

Daniel Hand of Oulliford, Conn. :
lie testator died about two years ago, 1
lien more than OOyenr.sold. He left (
will, the most valuminons that has '
ver been brought into a Connecticut I
robate Court, consisting of ninety-six s
ages of closely written legal cap, f
'ith fourteen codicils attached, which 1
le testator had let remain partly for f
io purpose of protecting the will in t
of contest, as, under the law, each
mImmI fn lio ? t f vipmji r.nlflv. 1
lie contest was brought on the
round of his incompetency to make ? '
ill, (Jovernor Morris, as Mr. Hand's e
secutor, Ex-Governor Ingersoll and
>hn W. Ailing, all of this city, con- '
acting the defence. A great mass of
Iters written by Mr. Hand in old f
?e had been gathered by (Jovernor '
[orris, copied by typewriter, and 1
ere to be introduced at the trial to v
low the testator's cr mpetency. a
During life and six years asro Mr. j1
[and made a gift of more than a ?
dllion dollars to the American Mis- f
onary Association for the Southern o
eedmeri. Tho nucleus of that sum u
as $l;>(),000 left by Mr. Hand at the [
itbreak of the war with his old busiess

Tn a suit of J. H. ('ook, a lawyer, t

The Duty of Sleep. ^
The sleeping room is nature's repair li
top, the place of recuperation and o
novation. There are persons who c
metimes tells us that some great li
an, such as Napoleon Bonaparte, I n
ily slept four or five hours in twenty-!
ur. But Napoleon Bonaparte was a a
>or example to follow. His restless li
>irit kept the world in an uproar aj
>od share of his life, he was broken je
health long before he was defeated ! v
i battle, and finally, fretted and p
lafed iu his captivity, he died aged11;
Fly-three, long before he had reached j r<
le allotted age of man. a
If a man would la-<t, he must rest, u
' he would make his life calm and In
nll'l llkittt'lll llH should (I
luuO> 6,HU U,1U M ,,v'" M ~ j 1
ive abundant sleep, and to obtain iti t<
: should avoid late hours, ami should j ll
pecially avoid stimulants. The man ; h
ho takes anything to keep himself ii
vake is making a jurat mistake, and! f:
preparing himself for future irou-ja
es. A man who keeps awake with il
irnulants now will be trying to put It
tuself to sleep with ehloral by and,'
i. A woman who drinks strong tea1 w
keep himself awake will by and by!n
. oiunm in benumb iter senses a:
iut she may get a little rest. ! tl
One of the great hindrances to sleep! ti
a restless anxiety about things to e
>me. There is so much to be donelv
iat some people feel that they can)a
irdly take time to sleep; but six. j w
veil, or eight hours of good, solid J tl
fep, begun at nine o'clock at night, 111
a much better preparation for a hard b
iv's work than any amount of mid-!
ght toil or restless tossing upon the U
m! in the watches of the night. si
It is a matter of duty for persons tl
ho fear (Sod and serve Him to see to fr
that they have their sleep. They ?;
ust not be cheated out of it; they 0,
* si i r..? ! 11
list not uu uarasscu uuui fu-i-ji mi- u
,kes their ?.y<-s ; 11 icy must rather
il their euros depart, and commit if
iul and body, business and eslate, 11
iends and foes, to the care of a lov- >
ig Father. They must make it their; tl
isiness to sleep. |tl
There is nothing more favorable to t;
iialthful slumber than the peace of si
nd that passeth understanding, ja
/i;h that peace we can lay ourselves h
nwn and sleep, and awake because /
le Lord sustains us. And we c.in p
rove how vain it is lor men to ri-e i
p early, and sit up late, and eat tiie't
read of sorrows, ami strive and p
,ruggle to train those things which; f<
lod is willing to give, and which He jo
ives llis beloved while they are s
sleep. Oui heavenly Father is able a
> do exceedingly abundantly above I
ur utmost thought.
Lie down and sleep, then, () chil- 1
ren of the Most High ! Let sorrows j
nd doubts and fears be gone. Cast a

,'hieh has disturbed your souls, and 11

Life in the United States Army.
i: V Kit AX l\ KOISKKTS,
Late of United Slates Army.
The army of the I United States is not
a large one, being only twenty-live
thousand strong; but it will bethought
that with so small a force every care
has been taken to obtain the very best
men possible, and to otter such inducements
that they may feel proud of

surroundings. The object of tins article
Is to show how mistaken is such
in idea, and how utterly unsuited the
life is to any religiously inclined, sober
^elf-respecting young man.
Jn the first place, a recruit must at
)i:ce be struck with amazement at the
unount of drunkenness that prevails,
ind this is not confined to the enlisted
lien, lie will soon find that this conlition
is a general one, ami that, iar
'rom trying to stop it, the authorities
>ay a premium for drunkenness. The
;ale of beer in the "exchange" is auhorized
by the army regulations, and
s superintended by a commissioned
dlicer; and the liquor is handed over
lie bur by non-commissioned ollicers
ind privates, especially detailed and
laid for the work. Once a month, or
piarterly, to suit convenience, the proits
are divided among the various organizations,
and the money so obtainid
is used to put better food on tne
lien's tables.
The more the men drink, the more
nouey is obtained for food; and as it
h a sort of point of honor to support
heir mess, men that would not othervise
do so are led to drink, unless they
re prepared to stand all the ridicule
,nd abuse that will be thrown on them
>y their comrades; and, being led 011
rom one drink to another, they soon
;et drunk, one excess leads to another,
inlil at Install self-respect is gone, and
he young man that enlisted as a man
s soon lost so far as his manhood is
oncerned, and, as a natural result, is
0011 engulfed in the other vices so pre-!
alent. The government system i9
liivctly chargeable with these results.
I'he seductiveness of alcohol is so well
mown that the authorities have no
hailow of an excuse for thus placing
emulation, upon which they put a
iremium, in the way of tneir new reruits.
Another feature that must strike a
ecruit in an unfavorable manner is
he herding together, like so many
attle, of lorty to sixty men iu one
oom. Apart from the fact that such
thing must necessarily tend to a renxing
of the orbinary requirements of
lecency. it soon becomes apparent that
he filthy abominations indulged in by
Irunken comrades, whose actions can
e better imagined than described,
rill soon further underminea young
nan's self-respect, and it is not long
tefore he may be fouud joining in the j
nughter and joking carried on wheni
ue of these drunkards lias to far re- ]
overed as to be made aware of what!'
le has been doing. I have seen veryj
nuch of tliis sort of thing, and canj
estify to the fact that such occurrences|:
re looked on as part and parcel of the!
ife, and 110 effort is made stop them. |
To one that has not been accustom-j
d to gambling, it must be a source ofj
fonder that all sorts of games that 1
rovide a chance to gamble are so openy
indulged in. After a pay.day thei
egular hands that run the games are (
s busy as bees, and no attempt is]'
jade to keep the matter secret. The j
len gamble ou their bunks in the
uarters, and when night conies retire
;> some okl building, and light up for
lieir night's indulgence in this vicious
abit. Inquiry, if one is of an inquir- !
ig turn of uiind, soon reveals the
ict that the officers in their clubroom
re gambling also, and so what matters ,
, that gambling is forbidden by reguition
? !
The system of shutting one's eyes to
rhat is going on around, and the ig
orance displayed when questions are
sked, are nowhere to l>e seen betfvr J
nan in the army: and in this coimec-1
on uiaybe mentioned the fact that!
very pos.-ible means is taken to pie J
ent any of the unsavory details ofi
rmy life from leaking out. TJie casts
lion published, are j-o undeniable !
liat the army as a body does its ill-; *
lost to lock up its secrets in its own I
mist.
Drink ruins the army, and it any !
ouht this, let me tell them tlint the/
iirgeon.general reports, recently, that '
iterate of admission to the hospitals^
>r alcoholism is lbrty in a thousand,'
gainst -.-jii in the iiritish army, and I
ill the (Jernian. Such figures as
lese tell their own,story.
As drink plays so important a part,
, is not to lie wondered at thai so '
lany other vices prevail, or that the:
ii'W York Hveninjr I'osi has to say o!"
lie army,' So low is the mortal tone
liat a military prison has to tie mainlined
at a eo-t of seveiityjJive thou-'

lain a statement of fuels brought be j
[ire the people, they ean draw their!
wu conclusions, and judge forthein-j
elves as to whether the army is a nior- i
,1 nlaee as some of it- oil ice is would j
lave one believe.
All the better elements have been

"Does she ?" said mother, and then
she went on sewing and forgot Charlie,
I who was trying to stand on his head.
"Mother," said Charlie presently, "is

mother.

the door hell rang, and Charlie's mother
went to see a caller. When she
came back her little boy was sitting on
her footstool, busily writing in a handsome
book, but as he wrote with a
slate-pencil it did not do the book any
harm.
"Now, mother," said her little boy,
"I'm done my book."
"No," said his mother thinking a
little while, "you are not near done.
God has given you a book to write. I
hope it isu big, long one, full of beautiful
stories."
"What iu the name of my book?"
he asked, coming closer to her.
"It's name is 'Charlie's life;' you
can only write one page a day, and
you must be very careful not,to make
any black marks in it by doing ugly
things. When you pout and cry that
smears your page, arid when you help
mother aud keep a bright face and
don't quarrel with lleddy, that makes
a nice, fair pasre with pretty pictures
on it."
"And when will I be done writing
that book?" asked Charlie.
"When (jod says you book is long
enough," answered mother, "he will
send his angel to shut its covers, and
put a clasp on it until the great day
when all our life books shall be opened
and read."
Charlie sat very quiet awhile, and
then said, softly : "Dear little Lucy
finished writing her book when they
put her in the white casket, and laid
the white roses over her."
"Yes," said his mother ; "her lile
book was just a little hymn of praise
toG.id ; its pages were clean and white
no stains on them."
Charlie looked up, and saw two
tear-drops fall on mother's work, hut
they were bright tears, and a bright
smile came with them.

?So two persons with mutual likin?s
ami interests were guility of marked
rudeness to each other and to their
common friend.
"Did you notice how Mary Case put
her parasol before her face as she passed,
so she could not see me on the
porch ?" complained a girl to her
brother, oblivious to the fact that the
afternoon sun was pouring directly
into her friend's near-sighted eyes.
"The minister has not called here
this summer. Of course, he need not
if he does not choose to. I can go to
some other church."
Thus innocent remarks are built out
into contrary meanings; absent-miuded

put herself in the place of another.
How quickly ,'then, would we exclaim:

"There are 25,530 negro schools now iu
in the .South, where 2,250,000 have Fr
learned to read, and most of them Be
to write. In the colored schools are 1
238,000 pupils aud 20,000 negro teach- po

schools for advanced education, and a.
seven colleges administered by negro <

Aluminium cooking utensils and
articles of table wear begiti to be dis- **
played by house-furnishing shops. 11
There are frying pans, pepper boxes, I
chafing dishes, ladles, funuels, and II
many other utensils, large and small. v
A frying-pan of large size costs Sii1
which is pretty high for a frying pan. I
The smaller articles are not greatly
above the price of like-well made articles
of other ware. Medium-sized
funnels, for example, cost 75 cents.
The advantage of aluminum utensils
over most others is tbat they weigh
almost nothing, and are not subject to
corrison.

I'ouder well this utterance of the
Salvationist Cieueral Booth: "I'd sooner
have a washer-woman baptized with ou
the Holy Ghost than a bishop without
it. I'd a thousand times sooner sitai t
the feet of a poor, illiterate man, what- |JJ
ever the color of his skin, if he were
full of the Holy Ghost, than at the feet rro
of the most ordained apostolic success- r
ional individual there is on earth. I L<^
want men who are full of faith and the
Holy Ghost."

A writer in the United Service S

scrubbing the decks of ships are called ~~
"holy stones," because the work was
generally done on Sunday. Hut a q
writer in the Churchman says that O
they were so called because those who Pr^
used them had to go down on tueir sev
