FRIDAY, D11C.7, 1888. SELECTIONS FOR SUNDAY LEARN To FOROIvo. Learn how to forgive. Do not carry au unforgiving spirit with you through all your life; it will hurt you more than anything else. It will destroy the happiness of many around you, yet its chief' feeding ground will be found in your own heart. You hate your pcighbor. Yonder is his dwelling 150 yards away. You pass by a wood fire; you pluck a half-con- tanned alfcon- sumed bt'and from it, flaming and gleaming, and, thrusting it under your garment to hide it, you start for your neighbor's dwelling to burn it. Who gets the worst of it/ 'Lou find your garments on fire and your own flesh burned before you can harm your neigh- bor. So is ho who carries an un- forgiving spirit in his bosom, It stings his own soul likde an adder shut up there. I know of some who call themselves Christians -who are miserable because of their own revengefulness. Forgive your enemies and get down on your knees and pray for them, • and salvation will come into your own soul like a flood. " Father, forgive them." Sweet prayer and blessed example.—Rev R.V.

THE GUILT OF PRIDE. There was once .a daughter who was unwilling to confess that her mother was her mother. When that daughter was an infant, the mother was obliged, on a certain occasion, to leave her children at home, whilst she went to a neigh- bor's. On returning, ehe saw flames bursting from her window. She found that her infant child was yet within, and was about to enter, when she was prevented and told that death would be the inevitable consequence. She nev- ertheless rushed in, and found the child where she had left it. She wound it up in a covering, and ear•r'ied it out safe, but was herself shockingly burnt. For months she hung between life and death, and when she recovered was a frightful object. Twenty years afterwards the infant, then a young woman, was asked by a stranger who a certain deformed person was. The daughter was ashamed to confess it was her mo- ther. ----So thousands treat Jesus Christ. As the young woman was unwilling to say, " This is w" my mother," so they are unwill- ing to stty Of hire who dia'1 or Neill, and whose visag, was more marred than any man's, " This is my Redeemer and my King, and I will serve him and love him for- , ever." Reader, have you been gulltj• rf such baseness ? CHRIST'S SYMPATHY. IT CLOSES THE MILLS. Ills W. H. Priest, the Quebec Province manufacturer of knitted goods, who caused a sensation re- cently by stating that he wanted only free trade to enable him to extend his works and raise the wages of his employees, is not disposed to retract his statement on account of the Empire's name calling. In another letter to the Mail,Mr Priest declares that "pro- tection stops our mills and brings the wolf to the door of many a poor man's house. It helps the combines and ruins many poor souls; it raises the prices of every- thing manufactured in Canada; it helps the owners of poor old- fashioned machinery, although it closes the doors of the mills in which the old trash is running for months in every year; it slams the door in the face of the poor and causes poverty and distress to many a poor operator.' 'We all know,' adds Mr Priest, 'that some of the mills are stopp- ed in Canada about one half' of the time, and that it is for the want of a market for their ontput. If manufacturers cannot sell their goods how can they run their mills? Hence, where protection has helped the proprietor to live with six months' work in the year, it has caused starvation to scores of operatives during the other six months. Give us free trade with the States and we can run our mills the year round and help every one. All I ask is the mar- ket. 1 can make knitted goods as cheaply in Canada as they sen in the States, and we all know that our labor is far cheaper in Canada than in the United States. As I said before, I can afford to raise my helpers' wages 10 per cent. if I can Bret the United States market. As long as the farmer of Canada stands' protec- tion, just so long will he be com- pelled to pay a tax or tariff on alt 'he buys and consumes.

He had step- ped on a piece of glass during the night, and cut the main artery of the right front -foot. His owner has valued him at $50,000. At a meeting held by Hon. Drury and the Advisory Board of the Agricultural College, on Fri- day, it was decided to build new barns for the ccljlege after the style of those lately burned. Hon. Mr Drury also stated that a Royal Commission would issue for an inquiry into the burning of the old barns. A farmer named Jacob F.Stoltz, living near Maunheim, Waterloo county, received fatal injuries on Friday, by being thrown out of his carriage, caused by his horse suddenly' taking fright and run- ning away. His skull was frac- tured and he lived only two hours and a half after theaceident. Mr Stoltz was a highly respected and popular man in the community. London s great murder mare has had a demoralizing effect on one industry.

A PLEASURE SHARED 13Y WO- MEN ONLY, Malherbe, the gifted French author, declhred that of all things .that man possesses, women alone take pleasure in being possessed. This seems gener- ally true of the sweeter sex. Like the ivy plant, she longs for an object to cling to and love—to look to for pro- tection. This being her prerogative, ought she not to be told that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the physical salvation of her sex ? It banishes those distressing maladies that make her life a burden, curing all painful irregular - ties, uterine disorders, inflammation and ulceration, prolapsus and kindred weaknesses. As a nervine, it cures nervous exhaustion, prostration,, debil- ity, relieves mental anxiety and hypo- eondria, and promotes refreshing sleep.

Church, said the missionaries had made such progress in Japan that, whereas &en years aim there WAS not a public school in the kingdom, there were now 45,000 public schools, and in every one the Bible was read, and in all public documents the date was stated Anne Domini.

A Woodstock despatch says: Noah Bowman, of Terry's Corn- ers, has a horse which has a pecu- liar ailment. Ho was driving the animal last week and it almost in- stantly became covered with a frothy sweat. He got out of the waggon to examine it, and found a swelling on the neck in front of the collar nearly the size of a foot- ball. The swelling not being stationary makes the matter more mysterious. Earnest Draeger, a painter, of Chicago, became demented in Feb- ruary, 1887, and was discovered in a room he occupied tramping up and down on a floor carpeted with notes amounting to about $1,000, He was put in an asylum and 111s property was placed in charge of Carter II.

' For some time • past neighbors and friends of George Gowland, a ,Jewnlae�o�kan ---in_.,lri= rf , ."itt ,STirel: a have noticed that his mind was wendaring. A' few months ago GowIand's father; reputed to be worth $80,000, died intestate, and in consequence of the action of a stepmother. the estate was thrown into chancery. Gowland's share is said to amount to sone $20,000, and as financial affairs with him have not been going on smoothly for the past few years, the im- mediate prospect ofsnch a change in his circumstances had the effect of causing him to become quite unbalanced. His peculiar mania is that he is now immensely wealthy. Ile indulged in mon- strous real estate transactions, talked of' banqueting the whole town, starting a crack livery - stable and in connection with this latter idea was making arrange- ments to purchase some twenty flim horses and fashionable turn- outs.—Toronto World. A Washington special says: It is understood that President Cleve- land's message is a vigorous doeu. ment, and still -keeps to the front the doctrines -of tariff reform which he advocated a year ago. The message, it is said, will go into the question upon the new light thrown upon it in the late campaign, and will urge an edu- cational policy on the part of the Democratic party upon every oc- casion on the floor of Congress, or in local and state eampailfnl3. The' President takes the pasition that there is no other course to pursue. Two years ago in his message he called the attention of Congress to the necessity Of re- ducing the surplus by a reduction of the revenue, but said then that it was for Congress to say by what means these ends should bo accomplished. As Congress did nothing in response to his mean sii0 of last December, he took the'subjeot in hand himself, and gave what Ito considered Demo- cratic doctrine, not only as it tuns understood by him but by the re• cos,nized leaders of the Demoerntiv party. seven days for not paying his fine.

A mes- senger was sent to Olean for assist- ance, and forty members of a local military organization armed with shot guns responded. • This force was not strong enough, and the tramps, it is reported, soon had possession of the shot guns. Further assistance was asked of the surrounding towns. No more particulars conld be learned of the affair or the truth of the report corroborated as telegraph com- munication to Olean was cut off.
