And pleaded, "Let Me in :'* But ah, the door was bolted And barred by childish sin ! 1 The child said, "I'm too little; I There's time enough?to-day 1 cannot open sadly The Spirit went His way. , Again be came and pleaded. In youth's bright happy hour; He called, but heard no answer: For, fettered in sin b power.

A determination to make the best of everything, and to be pleasant under any circumstances, is one of the most desirable of possessions, either inherited or acquired. The joy of an unselfish character ( has beeu sung by poets and praised by philosophers, but'its physical advan- I * tages have too seldom been dwelt upon. And yet the phyisiciau is brought into 0 almost daily contact with "maladies of the nerves," in which he is fully , conscious that pure selfishness on the part of the patient himself, or on the part of some member of his family, is * alone responsible for the physical disorder. It is often easy to make a diagnosis in a case of this kind, butdifficult to prescribe the remedy. A healthful interest people and things would often provide a model remedy, but it is not easy to pruuuic. Eveu more hopeless is the case of the unselfish, wearied woman, who meets the physician's remarks as to what she ought to do for herself with, "I can not do it, doctor"?from which there is no appeal. Alas for human charity which can not see the need of encouragement for wife, mother, or sister ! It lies within the power of every one to be a mental healer; the position requires no special training. And every such person is the physician's ally. He sees everything through the colored glasses of an unselfish and hopeful contentment. The person who is contented and happy digests bis food with greater ease: he exercises with more bouyonn%r Via rirvpa hotter wnrfc. Hft maV become ill and inquire a physician, but his chance for recovery is better because of his previous good health and his present hopefulness. Tne benefit derived from a "change of scene" is universally admitted. The novelty of the new surroundings excites a pleasure which drives one's thoughts from self. Here the connection between happiness and healthfulness is obvious. It is not always easy to be patient and to push cheerfully to its close an uncongenial t#sk ; but it is the only wholesome and healthful method of working and living. A constant giving way to anger, or v to any other of the passions is distinctly deterlmental to the physical health, and not unfrequently hastens death. The habit of being happy is invaluable to its possessor. It not always a passport to perfect health it is valuable help toward it. ? U Laughter. In his "Problems of Health," Dr. Greene say8 that there is not the remotest corner or little inlet of the minute blood vessels of the human body 4-Ka* /I/vaci **Af fftol onmA urovotof. fVnm lUAl UVCO UUU IVVl uvuiu IIM1 v?vw W? the convulsions occasioned by good, hearty laughter. The life-principle of .' the central man is shaken to the innermost depths, sending new tides of life and stregth to the surface, thus materially tending to insure good health to the persons who indulge therein. The blood moves more rapidly and conveys a different impression to all the organs of the body, as it visits them on the particular mystic journey when the man is laughing from what it does at other times. For this reason every good hearty laugh in which a person indulges tends to lengthen his life, conveying, as it does, new and distinct stimulus to the vital forces. ? m m ? ? Have Yon Read It? It is told of Franklin that at one time in Paris he was greatly ridiculed for his love of the Bible, and that he made up his mind to find out how many of the scoffers had read it. He informed one of the learned societies, of which he was a member that he had come across a story in pastoral life in ancient time that appeared to him very beautiful, but he would like the judgment of the society upon it. On the evening appointed Franklin h?rl a rpnripr nrf tfnelv modulated voice read to them the Book of Ruth. They were in ecstacies over it, and one after another rose to express gratification and admiration, and the desire that the manuscrip should be printed. "It is printed," said Franklin, "and is part of the Bible."?Ram's Horn. A "human ostrich," one of those men who amuse a gaping public by swallowing various Indigestble substances, died during the week in London, from "too close attention to business." The autopsy cord, brought to light a bullet, twenty or thirty pieces of cord, twenty pieces of tin foil, a jiiece of string eighteen inches long with corks tied to each end, and a piece of leather nine inches long with hooks in it. One hook and a piece of tin foil had perforated the intestines and caused death. The man had been accustomed to swallow chains, sovereigns, purses, coins, pipe stems, newspapers, etc. The jury's verdict was death from misadventure. Among some old papers in an Arkansas probate court was found a doctor's account for medical attendance during the last illness of the deceased. On the back the administrator had made the following indorsement: "This ciaim is not verified by affidavit as the statute requires, but the death of the deceased is satisfactory evidence in my mind that the doctor did the work. W. S. Adm." Molliehad been to church for the first time, and on her return home her grandmother asked her what she thought of it. "I like it very much," she replied, "but there was one thing I didn't think it was fair." "What was that, dear?" "Why, one man did all the work, and then another man came around and got all the money." There are supposed to be about 420,000, 000 Christians in the world. A Xolnble Document. The World's Columbia Exposition Memorial for International Arbitration, of which mentiou has heretofore been made in these columns, has at last been completed, after some unavoidable delays, and is now to be transmitted to the Governments of the world. The Memorial was adopted by tbe World's Columbian Commission on the 12th of October, 1893, and bears the , signatures of seventy-nine Commissioners of the Exposition appointed by the different states of the Uniou. It is also sigued by thirty-six Directors of the Exposition; by the general officers of the Board of Lady Managers; and by the officers of the World's Congress Auxiliary, under whose auspices thenumerous Congresses and the Parliament of Religions were held. , It carries the names of four World's j Fair Commissioners from Great Bri- I tain ; of seven Commissioners from | Canada ; of two from New South Wales; two from Ceylon ; two from the Cape of Good Hope : three from Jamaica; five from Spain; two from Portugal ; five from Italy ; oue from Switzerland ; two from Greece ; two from Sweden ; three from Norway ; four from Denmark; five from Brazil; < three from Venezula; three from A us- ) tria; three from Turkey; two from * Argentina; three from Mexico; two from Costa Rica ; one from Paraguay ; three from Guatemala; two from Colombia; two from Japan; oue from Siam ; two from Korea; four from Germany ; one from Uruguay; two Ana frnm Houfi nnu I1UUJ XJCUUUVl y VUV AAVTAU b< , WUV from Liberia; one from Bolivia, three from Belgium; oue from Bulgaria; one from Curacoa ; three from Persia; two from the Netherlands ; one from the Orange Free State; one from British Guiana; and two from China. It is likewise signed by many of the officers and prominent men and women of the various Cougresses held during the Exposition, from many countries aud of all religious beliefs, and by distinguished people of every kind who spent some time atthegreat world's gathering in Jackson Park. The whole list constitutes a weight of m names and influence such as has perhaps never been appended to auy pre- " vious document. Such a memorial, when finished and lying before you, seems to be a very simple affair, but to have conceived such a thing and to have brought it to a successful execution is proof of real originality, great persistence and the deepest interest iu the cause which the Memorial seeks to promote. Our read- B trs already know that Mr. William E. r BlacRstone, of Oak Park, 111., one the Honorary Commissioners of the Ex- j nrwaitinn wr? the nrici n&tnr of the Me merial. He has, with great labor and G at large expense, completed it and delivered copies of it to Secretary Gresh- 1 am who has kindly consented to trans- 1 initihemto the several Governments j of the world. G The Souvenir Copy of the Memorial which now lies before U9 is very handsomely gotten up. All the signatures are reproduced in fac-simile and print* ed ou heavy white paper. They cover fifty pages. There is an appendix of sixteen pages containing addresses on the subject of arbitration by Judge Thomas M. Cooley, Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, Prof. Emile de Laveleye, Rt. Hon. W. E. Gladstone, Hon. C. C. Bonney, ex-Presldeut Harrison, Bishop J. P. Newman and others, and "1 articles giving the size and cost of J armies, the history of legislative action F in behalf of arbitration, etc. The t whole is bound in beautiful white cloth and on the front of the cover arestamped in gilt letters the words : ''The World's Columbian Memorial for International Arbitration." The words of the Memorial are as follows : "To the Governments of the World. "The undersigned, citizens of many countries, gathered at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, in b the United States of America,recoguiz- a ing the advantages accruing to those r, nations which have pursued the policy of arbitrating international disputes, aud desiring that the like benefits may ? ?

A.nd for this the petitioners will ever pray. "It is requested that a copy of this memorial shall be presented to each of the governments of the world." It need not be said that among the many influences working to bring about the peace and harmonious co-operation of the nations this memorial, growing out of the greatest world's i gathering ever held and seriously i signed and supported by so many emi- g nent people of many lands, and sympathized with and hearitly approved by hundreds of thousands or' others who have not been permitted to set their hands to it, will prove one of the most potent and far-reaching. Let It go forth on its beautiful mission attend- i ed hy the prayers of all those who wish to see the sword forever sheathed and the warlike <'rum-beat forever hushed.?Advocate of Peace. J A government administered by bad meu cannot be good. Good men may i so a dminister a poor sort of govern- t ment that the result shall be good, f But bad men in office produce bad government. Constitutions, charters, laws, courts, executives, are good, but men, men, men-are better. Not paper and parchment, but meu are our rulers. Officially and personally the holders of public office are a concrete objectlesson to the rising generation. Tolerated malfeasance in office cries aloud to the school-boys of the land, telling them that faithfulness to a trust and simplicity in the service of the State, 4 are a vision for dreamers, not a rule for practical men. Personally, too, our rulers are in the eye of the young sovereigns of the reEublic. It is not merely of private, " ut of profound public importance that they should not lead offensive lives. Their position demands a personal character at least on a level with that of the average every-day citizen. ] Whatever may be its laws, that city is happy whose rulers command the respect of its citizens. But woe is upon the city whose men in authority, either by the abuse of their trust, or by their scandalous personal characters, make the honorable words "politics" , and "government" a by word, a hissing, and a reproach. In a free goyernnient, the shame of such a state of things is upon every individual citizen, for every man can do something to change for the better. A well administered government is a crown on the < head of every citizen, for all have their part in making it good. Let us have good men in office?Exchange.
