It was a beautiful morning at Pole ville Centre, Strawberries were In full bloom, ana lovely white polar bear* could be seen frolicking on the huge blocks of ice along the ocean front. It was high June, and little Trilbean Nan sen, getting to be big now, and grand daughter of the famous explorer, was plucking clover by the roadside and evet and anon casting her pretty eyes sea ward in the fond hope of seeing the sails of her lover's balloon, which wm expected home that very day from th« old world, namely America. Ilacktruril. LESSON II, FOURTH QUARTER, INTER- Polly longed to be helpful. She had dreamed ever since she was a little tot in pinafores of being a missionary Harriet Newell; of going to nurse •a the burning plains of India, like wounded soldiers fighting in a grand caaae, like Florence Nightingale; of leading a great crusade against wrong, seemed little probability that these like Prances Wlllard. But there dreams would be realized. Men and women, and especially young people, do not know that it takes years to marry completely two hearts, even of the most loving and well sorted. Bnt nature allows no sndden change. We slope very gradually from the cradle to the snmmit of life. Marriage is gradual, a fraction of us at a tiuie. A happy wedlock is a long falling in love. 1 know yoang persons think love only belongs to brown hair, andplnmp, round, crimson cheeks. So it does from its beginning, just as Mt Washington begins at the station. But the golden marriage is a part of love which the bridal day knows nothing of. Youth is the tassel end silken flower of love; age is the full corn, ripe, and solid in the ear. Beautiful is the morning of love, with its prophetic crimson, violet, purple, and with its hopea of days that are to come. Beautiful also is the evening of love, with its glad remembrances, and its rainbow aide turned toward heaven as well as earth. Young people marry their opposites in temper and general oharacter, and such a marriage is commonly called a good match. They do it instinctively. The young man does not say "My black eyes require to be wed with blue, and my over-vehemence requires to a little modified with somewhat of dullness and reserve." When opposite! couie together to be wed, they do not know it, bat eaoh thinks the other just like himself. Old people never marry their opposites; they marry their Similars, and from calculation. Each of these two arrangements is very proper. In their long journey these young opposites will fall out of the way a great many times, and both gut away from thtf road; but each will charm the other back again, and by and by they will ba agreed as to the place they will go to, and the road they will go by, and become reconciled. The man will be nobler and larger for being associated with so much humanity unlike himself; and she will be a nobler woman for having manhood beside her that seeks to correct her deficiencies and supply her with what she lacks, if the diversity is not too great, and their be a real piety and love in their hearts to begin with. The old bridegroom having a much shorter journey to make, must associate him self with one like himself. A perfect and complete marriage is perhaps as rare as personal beauty. A real happy marriage of love and jndginent, between a noble man and woman, is one of the things so very handsome that if the sun were, as the Ureek poets fabled, a god, be might stop the world in order to fsaat his eyes witn such a spectacle.

David was Dow dead, having reigned 40 years, 7 at Hebron and 33 at Jerusalem (I Kings ii, 10, 11). Solomon was strengthened in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him and magnified him exceedingly. The ark of God was in the tent which David had pitched for it at Jerusalem, but the tabernacle and altar of burnt offering, etc., were still at Gibeon (II Chron. i, 1 4). Thither Solomon and many of the people went to offer burnt offerings, token of whole hearted surrender to God to serve Him only. It was in that night that the Lord appeared to him as here recorded.

"David, my father, walked before thee in truth anil in righteousness And in Uprightness of heart with t.hee." Solomon begins his requost by speaking of God's great ineroy or bounty to his father. The mercies of the Lord are a good topic for every morning, for they are now every morning. His compassions fail not. Great is His faithfulness (Lain, ill, 82, 23). He is the Father of Mercies (II Gor. i, 3). Solomon speaks of his father's walk before the Lord and with the Lord. Like Abraham, he walked before God (Gen. xvii. 1). and, like Enoch, Noah and Levi, he walked with God (Gen. v, 24; vi, 9; Mai. li, «)- Rain and Disaster Began. "Aw," was tbe answer, "I can milk a reindeer." 1. The suspension of free silver coinage by the act of 1873 did not demonetise silver. From the foundation of the government up to 1873 less that $150,000,000 in silver of all kinds had been coined, and none of it was in circulation, silver being at a premium over gold. Paper money, hacked by gold; was the circulating medium In 1873. "Yes, I know." said Mrs. Hopkins, "if George were in the place of those boys I would wish somebody to do just what you are doing. We don't always put ourselves in other people's places, more's the pity." But Polly suddenly began to look lesa in the glass and more at ber duty as daughter and sister. She had been to the village circulating library one day, and was returning through the one long street of Bakerville on her way to the little red cottage where the Hopkinses lived. She had "The Wide, Wide World" in her hand, and was reading its first pages with the same interest that girls used to feel forty years ago in the fascinating story. Suddenly she heard her patronymic pronounced by an unfamiliar voice. A Hopelea* Minority. The minister exhorted the score of hearers in his audience one warm evening, and wound up by asking all who wanted to reach a better world to stand up.

She had not walked far before she met them face to face. The contest for rule in the human heart between God on the one side and the world in some fonn or the other is a very old one. It is as old as man himself. Yet it is ever new, for it is engaged in by every newcomer upon the stage of life.

Since 1873 more than $900,000,000 In silver coin and silver notes have been Issued, and practically all of It ig In use. "Now," said the preacher, "if there is one here who does not desire his soul's salvation let him stand up, that wc may look upon him with grief and astonishment." 3. Existing hard times date from 1898, •when the enormous purchases of silver by the government caused European holders of American securities (for which they paid gold) to sell them through fear that the United States would go upon a stir ir basis, in which case they would get for their securities fifty-three cents' worth of silver for every dollar in gold invested. The subsequent passage of the "Wilsoo tariff act, which enabled foreign producers to sell their products in thp. United States lower than American manufacturers could afford to make them, extended the depression into commercial and industrial channels. The renewed silver agitation completes the story of stagnation, ruin and disaster. 7. "I am bat a little child. I know not bow to go out or oome In."

When Jeremiah long after this was called of God to be His prophet, he also said, "Ah, Lord God, I cannot speak, for I am a child," but the Lord said to him most comforting words, which also He Is saying to you and me If ody we have ears to hear them (Jer. i, 6-9). His father's words, by tbe Spirit, concerning going out and ooming in (Ps. cxi, 8), should have greatly helped him, for they have helped inany. ITS AN OLD STORY. "Good!" called out Clara. "We were just on our way to your house. We are going to Johnstown tomorrow on the 9 o'clock train, and we want you to go wltu us. We will have luncheon together, and no end of fun in the afternoonand get home by supper time." The blood rushed to Polly's cheeks. A week ago she would not have hesitated at the proposal; but her anxiety for George and ber plans for him and his friends bad already worked a change. She knew instantly that a higher self bad awakened in her, antagonistic to such an outing as that planned for the morrow; but she uttered no criticism; only told the girls, as they walked along, of the new club and of her need of their help. The old farmer awoke with a start just as the preacher said "stand up," and sprang to his feet and stared around, only to find all eyes upon him. This aroused his Ire, and be said, addressing the preacher: Two worlds are placed before us in the Scriptures—the present one and the future one, earth and heaven. It is not to be wondered at that the present life so often seems to us the more important one. It is more real to us. We see it before our eyes every day and every hour. The other is distant It is not so real; at least it does not appear so real, and men usually rely much upon appearance when they make a choice. Therefore it is -necessary for the Scriptures to warn us against centering all our affections upon this world. It seems more real, but it soon passes away. The wealth, the pleasure, the honor, the attainments of this life are ours for but a very short time. Then they are gone as if the thief had broken in and stolen theiu. In the world to come it is different. Its pleasures and its treasures are eternal. Therefore we should choose heavenly wealth in preference to earthly possessions. A Few Futo A boat Hard Timet and A great many people seem to think these hard times are something new and that the country has never seen the like before. But these people have not read their ooun try's history carefully or they would know better. They would also learn that neither free silver nor free gold had ever yet cored the poverty and hard times that have always followed Democratic revenue tariffs. Away hack in 1816 we tried a revenue tariff. In speaking of the effect of that tariff Henry Clay said that If he were called upon to name seven years of the most widespread disaster this country had ever seen he would say the seven years following the adoption of tho revenue tariff of 1816. Good Times. "Hopkins?" said another voice. "Yes," was the reply, "George Hopkins. He's a limb, and' no mistake. I shouldn't be at all surprised if be was concerned in that postofflce business.'* "Brother Jones, I don't know whether we be votln' for or agin' the sentiments of my brethren here, but you and me seems to be In a hopeless minority." There was a chestnut tree on the other side of the wall that skirted the street, and somebody was looking for uuts, unaware that the conversation was being overheard. CHAPTER IV. Now, it so happened that in Poleville Centre lived a young doctor who was also a suitor for the fair Trilbena'e hand, but he didn't suit her. He had watched her through all her great sor row, longing yet tearing to offer hei words of love and condolence. Then he was missing for several days. No one skating along the main thoroughfare had seen his familiar figure for Bome lime, and people 1 eared he might have been borne away in the night on a departing ice berg. Not he. The aged but truthful editor of the Kufrle beamed kindly over the tops of his glasses. Pneta Encouraged. 8. "Thy servant Is in the midst of thy people, which thou hast chosen." So also was the Ixjrd in the midst ot His people, for He had chosen them that He mightdwell in their midst, and thus make them a people different from all other people on the earth and separated from all other peo pie. For that reason the tabernacle was built. See Ex. zxv, 8; xxxlli, 16. Tlx future glory of Israel shall be Jehovah in their midst furevermore (Kzek. xxxvil, 28. Zeph. ill, 17). The greatest fact in every gathering of God's people now Is the presence of the Lord In their midst (Math xvll, 20), and not the presence of this or that Important person. PoHy's heart seemed to stop beating for an instant, tben to go plunging on as if it would suffocate her. That postofflce business! Well she knew to what the gossip referred. The postofflce had been robbed not long before of an insignificant sum, tive or ten dollars, and It was currently reported that certain boys were Implicated in the affair. 4. The term "IB to 1" means that sixteen ounces of silver, worth the world over but sixty-five cents an ounce, or $10.56 for sixteen ounces, shall be the equal of one ounce of gold, worth everywhere ISO 87. 5. The silver in a United States standard dollar is now worth about fifty and one-quarter cents in gold "There is something quite nice about your verses. Miss Budley," he said in a gentle voice, "and we are indeed sorry we cannot use them." "1 think,' she said, *:'tbat if you will come, prettily dressed, and chat with the boys, and one of you pour chocolate, it will be just splendidV Tben she went on to tell about the books that she hoped to get, and ended It by saying: "Then," faltered Miss Budley, as fihe once more received back tbe dainty little roll tied with bine ribbon, "you think, do yoa not, Mr. Slott, that If 1 persevere. In time I may be able to write very acceptable poetry?" In 1884 the policy of protection was restored and at once prosperity began to return.In 1887 a revenue tariff was again tried with disastrous results and general bankruptcy.Polly had a staunch and wise friend, one of ber teachers in tbe High School, Miss Weymouth. To ber she went with ber trouble tbe next day. School was over, and Mias Weymouth proposed a walk. CHAPTER V. 6. The metal in a gold dollar, coined or uncoined, is worth everywhere 100 cents in gold. One day be suddenly appeared before the maid who had so many times repulsed him. There is another reason why we should prefer God to Mammon. We cannot serve both. "No man can serve two masters.'' We cannot make two principles the ruling motives of our liVea One will gain the mastery. One must be chief and the other subordinate. "The ohief end of man is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever." There are other ends. Man must preserve his life, continue his kind, provide, in tbe present and for the future, for those dependent upon bim and fulfill all obligations devolving upon him as a member of society and of the home and the states But these are all subordinate aims. The chief end is to obey God, and He simply warns us against the mistake of making the subordinate aims the chief aim. '"Y-e-s," slowly assented the editor of the Bngle, "in time; or, at least," he hastened to add, as a glad thought burst upon him, "if not In time, Miss Budley, what is the matter with trying eternity?" The people quickly repented of their folly, and in 1842 a protective tariff was again adopted, and it soon brought such prosperity that in 1844 even the Democrats claimed that Polk was a better tariff man than Henry Clay and had inseribed on their banner "Polk, Dallas and the tariff of 1848." Clay was beaten by Polk—the people believed the Democratic promises as they did in 1808—and in 1846 the Democrats gave them "a tariff for revenue only" again, with damaging results, and In 1857 a further reduction of the tariff brought on an era of hard times nearly as bad as we now have. "How jolly It would be If we could subscribe for two or three papers and magazines just for tbe club.1" Trae to tta* geoat. 9. "Give, therefor*, thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad." The request Is worded a little differently In II Chron. 1, 10, "Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and oome in before this people," but the substance of it Is the same, that he may have wisdom to do right before God In the mat ter of the kingdom and In the midst of this people like the dust of the earth In multitude (I Kings lv, 20; II Chron. 1, 0). Great oomfort for each of us in the matter of wisdom Is found iu Jas. i, 6, 6. 7. Up to 1878 the United States government had coined only 8,031,238 standard silver dollars. "Tribena," said he, "your lover it false." Crit Robinson, the wing shot, has the bast trained hunting dog on tbe Coast, a black pointer. At the pigeon shoots, where other dogs go oraxy at the cracking of the guns and the dropping of birds, Robinson's dog lies in tne shade asleep.4 A whistle and the dog is on his feet pointing with every muscle tense and every nerve strained. At a signal the dog retrieves and in another minnte is as sound asleep again as if nothing happened, Ho matter where the dog is he will drop at a blast from Robinson's whistle and lie there immovable tor hours at a time. "We can talk as we go along," she said. "The fresh air will help us to a wise conclusion. One is always a little more sane under tbe open sky, 1 think." "Why," said Maud, "our trip to morrow, If we take it will cost us a dollar and a half apiece; that would make, Including Polly, four dollars and fifty cents apiece to tbe literary fund." So it was decided; and all three went rummaging through tbe book collections at Clara's and Maud's for sftare volumes that could be devoted to tbe service of tbe boys. "Sir!" she aried. 8. Since 1873 the U aited States has coined 431,852,011 stab...ml silver dollars. Nevertheless, the commercial value of the bullion in the standard dollar has decreased from about 11.01 in '73 to about fifty-one cents. This answers Bryan's argument that the increased use of silver' will enhance Its value 9. During the first eight months of *96 the government of the United States coin- "It is true, Trillie.

II, 4, "Not as pleasing man, but God, who trieth our hearts." The secret of it is In yielding fully to God, that He may work In us that which is well pleasing in His sight (Hab. xlll, 21). "Don't you believe It la a noble thing to be a missionary?" Tbe first club meeting was an eventful occasion. No unblacked shoes nor uncombed hair, no soiled bands nor uncared-for nails appeared. There were some honest blushes—always a good sign—when tbe members were presented to the girls who bad come to help entertain them, and more than one resolution made to work hard and save money for new shoes or bats or coats, or whatever was most needed to make tbe young fellows presentable on terms of self respect ed 11,212,412 standard silver dollars—exactly 13,181,174 more than it had coined from the foundation of the government down to '73. NEWSPAPER WAIF& In 1861 the Republicans enacted a protective tariff again which continued with a few changes until 1894. During this long period, despite the losses sustained In the great rebellion, this country was in the enjoyment of such prosperity as the civilised world had never before witnessed. Daring this long period the generation that had had experience with Democratic financial legislation had nearly all died "Oh, yes, by all means; but not necessarily a foreign missionary. Tbe home field has its claims, too; pressing claims, in many Instances." Robinson tslh a good story that illustrates the true scent of the dog. He came down oat of the Mills Building with an attorney one day, when the attorney found he had forgotten hia gloves and proposed to retorn for them. "Yes, I will," she replied, in tones that would have turned cold the blood of an Esquimau. "Aunt Hepsy, won't yon come to Miss Innett's pink tea?" "Law, child, I've tried those fancy kinds, but I like green tea best" Does it pay to serve God instead cf Mammon? God says it does. The experience of men proves that it does. To live for God and tho future instead of foi self and time may seem to some to be a waste of life. But time will prove that he is the one who wastes life, who prefers tho flesh pots of Egypt to the blessing of Canaan. 10. In August, '96, the' government of the United States coined 2,650,000 standard silver dollars. The seigniorage on these, or, more plainly speaking, the difference between their bullion and face value, is $822,U27. This, under free coinage, would be the mine owners' profit You mean there is work for me to do at bome," said Polly. Tben she told Miss We/mouth all she bad heard. "Then come at once to my laboratory."On the way he explained to her how he had been at work upon a wonderful machine, and that at last it was completed."No, I'll send the dog," said Robinson.She—"Isn't the rule, 'When in doubt, play trumps'T" He—"The usual rule Is. 'when In doubt, uk what are trumps.'" 11. "And God said uuto him, Because thou hast naked this thing and hast nut askud for thvself long life, neither hast asked riches for thyself." Our Lord Jesus never sought anything merely for Himself. It does ine good to quote His words, "1 seek not mine own will;" "1 seek not mine own glory" (John v, 80; viii, 50). and to remember that'' Kven Christ ploaseu not Himself' (Rom. xv. 3). I have also been helped by Jeremiah's words to Ba ruch, his Bcribe: "Soekest thou great things for thyself? Seek them not," (.lor xlv, 5). I believe tho best and most joy ous life is to let God Himself be our por tion (Lain. Hi, 24) and live tobeachanno; of blessing to others. "Be oontent if Got thou hast; paving Him, thy need is past.' 18. "Bohffld, I have done according to thy words. Lo, I have given thee a wist and au understanding heart." Inasmuch as Israel was as the saud which is by the «-a 1j multitude God gave Solomon wis dom and understanding as the sand thai is on the seashore (I Kings lv, 20, 29). or wisdom for every case that might possibly come before him. In verses 16 to 28 of this chapter there is an illustration of this wisdom, and the people saw that the wisdom of God was in him to do judgment. "George needs a sister," said the lady, looking intently in Polly's anxious face. "But how will be know my gloves!" asked the doubtful attorney. 11. From the foundation of the government up to '73 the coinage value of all the silver produced in tho United States was (164,130,000. off and a raw generation, Ignorant of the baleful effects of Democratic tariffs, had oome upon the stage and in 1892 concluded to try the quality of Democratic promises. The results we are now experiencing and none of us enjoys them. We are in a bad plight and want to get out of it by the shortest road. That road is not by free silver, however. There is a well tested and proven method of counteracting the effects of Democratic revenue tariffs that has never failed, and that is a prompt return to a good protective tariff. Sound, honest money is also essential to prosperity, but we have it now and only need to stick to It and add a little good Republican protection and we will soon be on the road to prosperity again. Cast your ballots for McKtnhy, sound money and protection and good times will come again for a long, long stay.—Bedford Inquirer. "Tell me. Miss Weymouth, what can I do?"

The foregoing figures show that during the twenty-two years from '78 to '96 the silver produced in the United States exceeded twelve times over the product of the United States for tho eighty-one years from 1792 to 187U. This explains why silver has declined in value. It likewise crushes the Bryan theory that nothing has been done for silver.

This noble tribute to tho value of the Christian Endeavor society in prisons, says The Golden Rule, is from Mr. C. L. Curry, warden of the Western Kentucky Branch prison at Eddyville: "Since the organization of the prison society some six months ago my punishment reports, I am glad to say, have been greatly reduced. The general discipline of the prison is greatly improved, and a decided improvement is noticeable in almost every phase of the prisoners' lives. Many of the convicts in this prison are, in my belief, living upright Christian lives, and all the result of the good influences of the Christian Endeavor society. The entire population of the prison is permitted to attend the Sunday services, and out of a total of 600 prisoners I have seen 800 in attendance at one time. This is remarkable when you tako into consideration the fact that all our prisoners are given the liberty of the yard on Sunday, and the attendance is purely voluntary. The presence of one guard is all that is necessary in the chapel to maintain the best of order." "How things grow!" said Polly, rather obscurely, as the last boy departed, book in band.

Dear reader, I will not pain or shock you with the details of the awful scene which our heroine was able to witness by the means of the doctor's wonderfnl instrument Suffice to say, she saw distinctly the sidewalks of Boston, and on the Bowery, once known as Commonwealth avenue, she beheld her wayward lover waltzing to hand organ mn iic with a horrid looking female, clad in more horrid looking bloomers and a sweater.

If the silver were sold today the government would lose about $13,000,000. If coined into standard dollars the silver would produce nearly $218,000,000. The power of Imagination is amusingly illustrated in the story told of an old lady who had never heard the celebrated violinist Paganinl play, and one day obtained permission to attend a rehearsal of one of his concerts.

First Tramp—"Well, if a dollar's guiug to be worth only fifty cents, it's a great consolation ter feel that yer got rid of yer money while It 'u'd bring what it was worth."— Puck The reason that he who is striving for wealth or renown for his own personal good or aggrandizement i9 never satisfied is because there is a want In his nature that is never met and never will bo until he opens his purse or seeks to bless others. That man alone is truly blessed and happy who seeks to gain that ho may bestow on others. And finally the great lesson taught us is that God Himself only lives aifd labors to save und bless all His creatures, and that His happiness nnd the perfection of His purpose will not bo attained until every criature will be saved from sin, misery and death.—Conversation.
