SOCIALISTIC DAY-DREAMS. The hopes of the people are cen tering more and more in government. Liberty, which has been the watch word of patriotism and the rallying cry of heroes for a thousand years, has failed to satisfy the cravings of hungry hearts and the aspirations of benevolent souls. After blackening the pages of history with crime and drenching the world in blood, liberty has lost her power of conjuring the spirit of man and there is no beauty in her that we should desire her. Liberty would let a man starve and never lift a finger to relieve him. She would see whole generations wear themselves out in the struggle for existence and never utter a word of remonstrance; she would see with a placid countenance the strong tram ple down the weak without a word or a sign of condemnation. Liberty, as we have already inti mated, is a cruel, heartless, blood stained goddess, full of duplicity and hyprocrisy. She is as often found on the side of the oppressor as the oppressed; she lends her name as a warrant for the most outrageous crimes. In 1776 she ranged herself with the colonies againnst Great Britian, but in 1860 she took the side of the oppressor and Lincoln and Seward appealed to the sword in the name of Liberty and a million of men sprang to arms and laid waste the most beautiful land under the sun In obedience to her high behests. In France she stirred up the multi tudes to the perpetration of fiendish astrocities the enormity of which caused the whole world to shudder, and now Russia is contending with the horrors of war abroad, while within her own borders the spirit of revolution exists, which, it seems, can be prevented from bursting forth In all the fury and frenzy of pent up hate and malice only so long as the government shall have gold to pay troops to protect it—all In the name of Liberty! “Oh! Liberty, how many crimes are perpetrated in thy name!” the law should he extended to such cases, as these. But there is another class of our citizens, small though it be, whose condition calls loudly for special leg islation. These men toil all night long, perverting and inverting Na ture’s laws by turning night into day and devoting to brain work, the heaviest of all work, the period given for rest and recuperation, to the great detriment of their health and of the welfare of their descendants. Any one who has passed an editor’s office in the dead hours .of the night, and seen by the dim light that shone through his window, his pale anxious face and his attenuated body bending over his work could not help but feel that he should not be permitted to sacrifice a life which means so much for himself, for his family, and for his State. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. The American Circus. \V. R. Andrews, of Grand Rapids, Mich., at a recent toast, got off the following appeal to the Filllpinos: “You Filllpinos don’t know what you are missing by not wanting to be come citizen of tbis grand country of ours. There isn’t anything like it Why I Go to Church on Rainy Sabbaths (By Francis R. Havergal.) I attend church on rainy Sundays because, 1 God has blessed the Ix>rd’s day and hallowed it, making no exceptions for hot or cold or stormy days. I expect my minister to lie there, The country has had enough of liberty. It wants active privilages, helps to happiness and prosperity, free enlightenment, royal material favors. What’s the use for a man to have the liberty to be a slave, to wear himself out in trying to make a living for himself and family to struggle with poverty and disease, to compel his children to work for bread and grow up, if they grow at all, In ignorance? We are beginning to have some sense and to learn what governments are for. The dawn of a new era seems about to break over our State, but though it is yet only the dawn, it heralds the coming of a glorious day. We began by enacting laws for the benefit of the lower animals and from them our sympathies have risen by an easy step to the next higher. We have determined that the children shall all be enlightened, wise, prudent, and patriotic, and we are about to de termine that they shall not work ex cept just enough to make them healthy and strong. This is progress, but the horizon widens as we advance and new fields for the paternal activities of govern ment open up on all sides. By the time we shall have provided ade- i quately for dumb animals and chil-' dren we shall learn that men and women are deserving of our benevo lent consideration.

If his hands fail through weak ness. I shall have great reason to blame myself, unless I sustain him by my prayers and presence. L By staying away I may lose the prayers which may bring God’s bless ing, and the sermon that would have done me great good. 5. My presence is more needful on Sundays when there are few than on those days when the church is crowd ed. 6. Whatever station 1 hold in the church, my example must influence others. If I stay away why may not they? 7. On any Important business rainy weather does not keep me at home, and church attendance is, in God’s sight, very important. 8. Among the crowds of pleasure- seekers I see that no weather keeps the delicate female from the ball, the party, or the concert. 9. Such weather will show me on what foundation my faith is built; it will prove how much I love Christ. True love rarely fails to meet an ap pointment. 10. Those who stay from church because it is too warm or too cold or too rainy frequently absent them selves on fair Sundays. I must not take a step in that direction. 11. Though my excuses satisfy my self, they still must undergo God’s scrutiny; and they must be well grounded to do that. 12. Thefq is a special promise that where two or three meet together in God’s name He will be in the midst of them. 13. An avoidable absence from the church is an infallible evidence of spiritual decay. Disciples first follow Christ at a distance, and then, like Peter, do not know Him. 14. My faith is to be shown by my self-denying Christian life, and not delegation over to see us-—the land of the free—land of fine churches and 40,000 licensed saloons; Bibles, forts and guns, houses of prostitu tion; millionaires and paupers; the ologians and thieves; liberlsts and liars; politicians and poverty; Chris tians and chain gangs; schools and scalawags, trusts and famps; money and misery; homes and hunger; vir tue and vice; a land where you can get a good Bible for fifteen cents and a bad drink of whiskey for five cents; where we have a man in congress with three wives and a lot in the penitentiary for having two wives; where some men make sausage out of their wives and some want to eat them raw; where we make bologna out of dogs, canned beef out of hors es and sick cows, and corpses out of people who eat it; where we put a man in jail for not having the means of support and on the rock pile for asking for a job of work; where’ we license bawdy houses and fine men for preaching Christ on the street corners; where we have a congress of 400 men who make laws, and a su preme court of nine men who set them aside; where good whiskey makes bad men and bad men make good whiskey; where newspapers are paid for surpassing the truth and made rich for teaching a lie; where professors draw their convictions the same place they do their salaries; where preachers are paid $25,000 a ear to dodge the devil and tickle the cars of the wealthy; where business consists of getting hold of property in any way that won’t land you In the •penitentiary; where trusts “hold up” and poverty “holds down”; where men vote for what they do not want by voting for it; where “niggers” can tote and women can’t; where a girl who goes wrong is made an out cast and her male partner flourishes as a gentleman; where women wear false hair and men “dock” their horses’ tails; where the political wire puller has displaced the patriotic statesman; where men vote for a thing one day and cuss it 364 days; where we have prayers on the floor of our national capitol and whiskey in the cellar; where we spend $500 to bury a statesman who is rich and $10 to bury a workman who is poor; where we sit on the safety valve of energy and pull wide op&n the throt tle of conscience; where gold is sub stance—the one thing sought for; where we pay $15,000 for a dog and fifteen to a poor woman for making shirts; where we teach the “untutor ed” Indian eternal life from the Bibl* and kill him off with bad whiskey where we put a man in jail for steal ing a loaf of bread and in congress for stealing a railroad; where the check book talks, Justice is asleep, crime runs amuck, corruption perme ates our whole social and political fabric and the devil laughs from ev ery street corner.

Now, once upon a tlmu there lived a God Who met a woman in a scarlet • gown, Whose life was as the highway of tho town Whereon the feet of many men had trod. And in His path she threw herself one day; And this God, pausing, raised her from her place Vnd understood the sorrow of h^r face, Anri blessed her and forgave, and went His way. <Y«a, if was in this wise the sto^y ran—- This was a God who played at being man). And once upon a time there lived a man Who dared to deem himself, in word and deed, Disciple to this God, yet preached a creed An angel might have leaned from heaven to ban; Who took the women of the street for text. With adjectives best used for blas phemies. And shuddered and exclaimed, and, on plump knees. Denounced them as abhorrent, vile unsexed! (Great is the distance between sky and sod— This was a man who played at be ing God). Oh, Thou who blessed the Mag dalen. what shame Of mockeries are uttered In Thy name! —The Apostle. Mohammed.

'1 hough Scotland boasts a thousand names, Of patriots, king and peer, The noblest, grandest of them all Was loved and cradled here. Here lived the gentle peasant-prince, The loving Cotter-King, Compared with whom the greatest lord Is but a titled thing. Pis but a cot roofed In the straw, A hovel made of clay— One door shuts out the snow and storm— One window greets the day. And yet I stand within this room, And hold all thrones in scorn, For here, beneath this lowly thatch Love’s sweetest bard was born. Within this hallowed hut I feel Like one who clasps a shrine, W’hen the glad lips at last have touched The something deemed divine. And here the w^rld, through all the years, As long as day returns, The tribute of its love and tears, Will pay to Robert Burns. Brother Dickey’s Dream. (Atlanta Constitution.) “Hit’s strange,” said Brother Dick ey, “dat I dreamed er you all night las’ night, en you de fust man I meet dis mawnin’, kunnel.” “Well, what did you dream?” “I gwlne ter tell you: I dreamed; dat I met you right whar you stand- in’ now, en lookin’ des as well en happy ez what you lookin’ now, en! what you reckin you said ter me?” “Go ahead and tell it!” “You put yo’ han’ in yo pocket— ; lak dls; you turned yo’ head side ways—lak dis; en yo’ spoked out in meetin’—lak dis; ‘You looks lak yo’ house rent is due.

Not long ago a wealthy Irish con-) j tractor died, leaving to his wife a good j sized fortune in real estate and bonds, i j Both had come to this country many 1 years ago, and he had begun work as a day laborer.. Gradually by saving; and good sense he came to own a cart, and in the course of time blossomed out as a politician. He made money; fast, but as he ascended the social lad der his wife turned away from her former friends as not being fit com-; panions for her increased importance. This was fully demonstrated when he died. The room in which the coffin lay was filled with flowers and mourners, i !)’it Mrs. S. did not appear for some | time.

Of course the patient could not take it in its old form, hence it did very little good. They can take SCOTT’S EMULSION *■» and tolerate it for a long time. There is no oil, not excepting butter, so easily digested and absorbed by the system as cod liver oil in the form of Scott’s Emulsion, and that is the reason it is so helpful in consumption where its use must be continuous.

If moderate drinking led to more moderation, and that to total absti- . nence, it would not be so dangerous. The trouble Is that it leads to more drinking and intemperance. Fifty years go, in France, the people drank freely of light wines, using little strong drink. But the French people have learned a sad lesson. The wines * created a thirst for Intoxicants, and now strong drink has a firm hold on that people. Light wines are no long er satisfactory; distilled liquor and drunkenness are the common thing. The average consumption of alcohol is thirty-three pints a year to each In habitant, twice as much as In any other country in Europe, except Switz erland ; eight times as much as In Can ada. It is a sad commentary on mod erate drinking, but a very suggestive one. an erect, manly carriage. Slovenli ness is contagious. It communicates itself from the dress to the charac ter.
