Going on Forever.
This life's choice is not foe this life
°MY; it is for the next world ite well.
Whatever our future eoutlition may be,
we know that it is to be a continuance
of that which we have chosen here, But
that which we have chosen will be deep.-
ened and intensified in the world be-
yond. Paul lents et this when he speaks
of Christ's representatives as being a
"savor of Christ" both to the lost and
to the saved; "to the one a savor from
death unto death: io tbe other a savor
from life unto life." We are dead now
without Christ; but the death beyond
the grave be a deeper death. We
are living eternally now and here if -our
Efe is in Christ; but the surpriees end

The Crowned Year '
To Psalm 65 the sweet singer asyse
"Theo crownest the year with.Thy goode
-nese," and these words touch a respon-
sive chord in many hearts. To all of
irs the year has brought varied and man-
ifold experiences. Upon the pathway
of some the'shadow has falleu. Bereave-
ment. sicknese, business disapopintments
have been the ldt of not a few. But
amid all the strangely mingled experi-
ences we can hear the voice from the
eternal: "Lo. I am with you all the
days.". And that promise is very real
to God's children. Even in life's dark-
est hour we have felt the touch of the
unseen hand, and have been drawn closer
to the heart of infinite love. He has
been with us hitheerto: He has given us
songs in the night; He has led us _in
right -paths; not one of His promises has.
failed us, and so we face the future with
hearts glad and strong and. unafraia. We
know not -what the new year may have
in store f6r us; in mercy the future has
been veiled from our eyes, but we know
that nothing can pluck us from His hand
or separate us from His loves, Some who
are -with us now may be with God be-
fore the year is done. Some of us may
have finished our little work. Some of
us may be eallea to pass through the
waters. So be it. Our times are in His
hand, and no harm can befall us. He has
crowned all the past years of our lives
with His goodness, and. walking with -
Him, each succeeding year will be more
radiant until the call comes and we en-
ter into the presence chamber of the
King.
How- God Speaks.
(M. McGregor.)
Paul tells ue that "Eye hath not seen,
tor ear'heard, neither have'entered inte _
the heart of man the things that God
hath prepered for them that love 'Him.
But God hath revealed them unto is by
His Spirit," rntil the spirit of num hat
responded to the Divine Spirit, our eyee
ara blind, our ears are stopped. and our
hearte are closed.. to the eternal verities.
It wag :always true, and it is true to -day,
that it is the pure in heart who alone
see God; it is the humble and lowly
spirit diet elmut can hear His voice;
it is the loving heart. alone into which
lIe will enter. And when that mighty
power hae touched our lives all things
are changed, Our eyes eve eo hewer
holden; the word_ of God beerenta beniire
ems with a new meaning; Christ tekei on
ft new loveliness- and beetate; the allele
world is transformed; we see the foot-
prints of God everywhere; we hear the
mesie of Ilis voice; we are conscious -
His abiding presence with us, and we -
hear His voice even as the child heasr
the yoke of his father, and is made glad
and brave.

indeed there was a great revolution in
Daniel Hunter's favor, and as reaction
is always equal to action the return of

tremendous -was -overwhelming.
It was iri vaM that Falconer 'O'Leary,
tho handsome, impassionate, enthusias-
tic stump orator, harangued the people
with all his might, flying from station
to station through the Congressional
district; making a dozen, fiery speeches
in a day and night,' denouncing the Old
Guards and Daniel Hunter, and giaossly
misrepresenting, because honestly raisap,
prehending his character, motives, prin.
ciplee and politics, And crowds, while
uneer • the immediate power of his efo,
quencet were carried away by his mete
merle influence, and huzzaed and shout-
ed, and cheered him and his measures
to his heart's content, and dispersed: to
get drunk in his honor. And afterward,
when their blood was cool, and their
heads clear, they went and voted for
Daniel Hunter.
In the meantime, passages from these
denunciatory speeches were frequently
reported and quoted, and the members
of Me. Hunter's family often saw them
in the colemns of the newspapees, Ana.
the sight of one sueh always gave Maud
great distress. After, one days. reading
a bitter and vituperative invective
launched by the fiery young orator
against her father she dropped the pa-
per and suddenly burst into a passionate
fit of tears. Her father took her 'hand,
and sought to soothe and quiet her. But
she refused to be comforted, paying, be-
taleen her sobs, that the acrimonious
hatred between two that she loved so
much would. break her heart. And her
father calmly and siaeptly held her hand
until the gust evala past. And then,
when he could get a look at her tearful,
flushed, half -hidden face, he smiled. on
her, with that senile of conscious power,
noble benignity and liberal interpreta-
tion, that ever excited her gratitude and
love, and inspired her with faith and
hope; and he said:
"My dear, never mind, I do not like
Falconer the less upon account of his
frank, hearty, Cordial, thorough -going
antagonism to myself. It grows out ol
a misconception so great that when it is

"Hush, my dear, your words border

This was true, Daniel Hunter, from
many different causes, had conceived foe
the wild, young, radicel leader a really
paternal affectiou. And *heti the Mists
came, and the election was (leaded, and
Memel Hunter was returned by an over-
whelming majority -amid the triumph
and rejoicing he felt pang of sympathy
with the dieappoihtmat Ara ehagrin of
his fiery young antagonist; he longed
to pour into his ear the words of touts
eel, comfort, and strength; he felt in
eteasea anxiety upon account of the
boy,. and made numerous inquiries con -
toning him; fruitless inguiriese for im-

"Yes, but in the meantime, while oc-
cupied with the dutiee of bis situation,
how will he be able to study his art?"
"I might aeswer you, love, that with
a real devotion to art, he would find
opportenities,--but I mean not soael
mean to clear his way. By a private un-
derstandingewith the Major (who has
already one secretary appointed by the
government), I will arrange it so that
'his situation will be a sinecure, and a
vehicle for the income that I shall settle
upon him, and that shall be paid bini

In a, few weeks, the plan'that Mr.
Hunter had sketched was fully carried
out: And Falconer, with a bandsonie

ignorant of his magnanimous benefac-
tor, went to Rome nith Major

ly as Daniel Huntera protege, commit-

bidding me farewell; he,hes deperted em-

altogether and she eropped her head
upon her mother's shoulder, and wept
heartily,
Mrs. Hunter folded her arms around
her, in silence, until her fit of sobbing
bad subsided, and. then she kissed her
and said, cheerfully:
"And yet, any darling, in all this there
is also much that 'is very hopeful and
encouraging. In the fleet place, you feel
;sure that Falconer loves you; and. only
you, with his whole heart, and that he -
will so love you forever, don't you?" -

Odd Rules of life,
Galipaux, the actor, leughs at the old
precept of "early to bed and early to
rise,' says the London T. P. 0, How can
a man do these things if lie is an actor?
And as to the Advice to avoid digeeeree-
able emotions, you might as well tell a
man who has dyspepssa that tke best
way is to take no notice of it -or, worse
still, in acordanee with the teaeltings of
Christian eience, tell him he has not
get dyspepsia after all.
Such is Galtipaux's opinion; neverthe-
less, he believes in a, certain regularity

The 11-ys-lOp- Murder.
' (Windsor Reeord.)
The c011apse of the notorious Idaho case,
in which three men, Haywood, Moyer, Pet-
tibone, were indicted tor the murder of ex -
Governor Stuenenburg, on the testimony of
Ore -hare, who said he was the hired asses-
Itt of these men, recalls the Ancestor town-
ship case tried in Hamilton, Ontario, about

dered in his home at midnight by taro men,
evidently bort on robbery. Tho crown on.-
deavored seture the conviction of one
man on the testimony of another who said
be was the partner in crime of the man in
the dock. The court refused to conviot on
the testimony of a self-confessed a.ssassin,
Whose motive seeixted to be the earning of
the largo reward, and the Ctl6l0 was added to
the long list of murder mysteries that has
accumulated since the Biddulph township
affair. thirty years ago, when several mem-
bers of the notorious Donnelly fainiy were
snuffed out by vigilants. The Ancaster and
Idaho cases are alike as illustrating tbo
fact that the testitimey of a crin3tnat must
always be heavily dlsoounted in any' kind
of trial, mere especially when the witness
Ifs oonfessed accomplice of the accused.
The query now is what will be done with
Orchard? He was dotibtless assured of im-
muniiy on the conviction of the men indict-
ed. The story of his complicity in a system
of wholesale murder and destruction of pro-
terty was doubtlees substantially true. If
he was not the tool of organized labor,
whole hirenng was he? Will all endeavor
be made to discover hie employers?

No Pay for Old Sermons:
"In the last analysis there is nothing
new that any of us can say," said Booker
T. Washington in Cambridge. "The doc-
trines of love, of punishment, of reward
and of the future life are as rad as the
world.
"This reminds me of an old negro
whom I met in the hills down south at a
church where I was berreeching the audi-
ence to stand by their pastor end pay
him a salary. I spoke as eloquently as
I could. I watched my audience and saw
that I had every one with me but this
eold fellow in the rear, who kept -mein,
Ming to himself whenever I finished. an
argument. Finally I called oub to him,
and. asked why he opposed paying a
salary to his hard-working minister.
"No, suit; no, suh; we shan't pay him
no more salary this year. He's giving
the same sermons he gave last° year," he
said. -Boston Herald.

The Friend That Never Was, on Sea

As nice as he could be;
While I could do %him any good
He was a friend to me,
But when I vvouldn't boost his game
He rose And took Ms hat,
And made himself succeeding scarce
We've all had friends like that.
He stuck to me like liquid glue, '
As long as I would buy,
Laughed at the ancient Jokes I told
And boomed me to the sky.
When My. resources 'vanished and
MY money ceased to talk,
He folded tip his tents llnd things
...And straightway took a walk.
That is the way too oft, alas!
With some fair weather friends."
They hang around us llke a cloak'
When we can serve their ends,
But when no longer we produce
As once we used to do,
They straightway rlse and shake themselvea
And flit to•pastures new.
Give me the friend who doesn't make
Too much of a parade,
But who is there when you're in need,
A very present aid,
Who comes when you are in the dumps
And to relief can see,
' And gently says: "Cheer up, old man,
And kindly draw on roe."

•of the prediction made long ago that
"the open-hearth process will go to the
funeral of the 13essemer." Recent de-

the function will be a wedding instead
of a funeral, a vastly more happy occur-
rence. The duplex process is rapidly
gaining favor, and the details are being
