BOWING TO MAP.
What is the . Seed you are sowing to-day
the sunshine soft and sweet ?
Is it kindly words, gelfrous deeds
Or thorns tor another's feet ?
What, is the work you are. doing to-day ,
At 3 the hours glide swiftly along Y
A.re you performing , a labor of love,
Or strife, 'mid the.busy 'throng ?
Remember o to-day you are sowing to reap
The fruitts of your work will return,
Measure for measure to you will be given i
It may bna sa lesson to learn.
Then scatter no thorns for the innocent feet
„
Lest they pidrce the same band that bath
WWII • •
Place not in the path of another a griet,
Or your own lips may utter the moan.
Bowing to reap I then carefully sow, •
That the,harreat may bring you no pain,
No bitter regrets for the seed time now past,
While the ,work of your hands is made
plain.
Bowing to reap I you must gaper the grain
From the seed you are 'sowing, at lait,
Will you bind up the sheaves with a joyous
. heart
Or grieve for the sins of tbe past . ?

RUNNING IN DEBT.
Home Greeley- once wrote : Half the young
'men in this country, with many old enough 'to
know better, would go into business—that is,
into debt—to•morrow if they could. 'Most
poor' men are so ignorant as to envy the mer
chant or manufacturer, whose life is an incei
sant struggle with difficulties, who is driven to
constant "shinning," and 'who from month to
month barely evade - the insolvency which
sooner,or later overtakes most men in business;
sothat it has been computed that but one man
in twenty of them achieves a; pecuniary success.
For my part I would rather be a convict iu, the
Atainprison, a slave in a rice swamp, than to
piss through life under the harrow of debt.
Let no inan misjudge himself unfortunate, or
tmly- . poor, so long as he has . the use of his
limbs and faculties, and is substantially free
from debt. Hunger, cold, rags, hard work,
suspicion. unjust reproach, are disagreeable,
but debt is. infinitely. worse than them all. And
it it had pleased God to spare either or all
of my snns .to be the support- of my declining
years, the lesson which I should most earnestly
seek to impress upon them is : "Never run in
'debt.", Avoid pecuniary obligations as you
would Pestilence or famine. If you have but
tidy cents, and can get no more for a week,
buy a peck of corn, parch it, and live on it,
rather than owe a- dollar Of course I know
that some men must do business that involves
a risk, aid must give notes or other obligatiOns
and I do not consider him in debt Who can lay
his hands directly on the means of paying, at
some little sacrifice, all he .owes ; I speak of
real debt—that which, involves risk or sacrifice
on one side, obligation and dependence on the
other—and I say from all such, let every yotith
humbly pray to God, to preserve him evermore.
READIN4 IN BOYHOOD.
It was a surprising fact, stated since Henry
Wilson's death,. that he read a thousand vol
umes during his apprenticeship, though he was
kept at work many hours every day both earlier
and later:than is common at present. His in
dustry in reading must have been marvelous,
and. most of the books, also, were 01 an in
structive character.
Theodore r!arker read enormously boy
hood, and almost exclusively valuable works.
He Says that he -read "Homer" and "Plutarch"
before he was eight, "Rollin's A ncient History"
about the same time and lots of histories, with
all the'pOetry he .could find, before be was ten.
There was scarcely a novel in the whole colL
lection. Be read 'also to good purpose—remem
bering what be read. His father examined
carefully on every book, and if he could not
give, good account of it, he could not have
an till it Was read, again. It. IS doubtful it
the reading of most boys in our day Will com
pare with that of 4r., Wilson and Mi. Parker,
either in the 'quality
.of the books, or in .the
,accurate knowledge acquired. • •

4 .1 ? E1E HEART OF 'THE CONTINENT."
The proposed territory of Oklahoina "is
situated in the very heart,ot the continent," says
a report on the subject made by a committee of
thellouse of Representatives. It covers more
ground than six New England States. It has
a very fertile soil and "a mild and genial cli -
mate,' and is "rich in mineral resources." Out
of this heart of the continent the Indians are
to be driven—fifty-five thousand *of tbem, Cher-
okees, Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws and
Seminoles. That, of course, is the inevitable
result, although the report mildly characterizes
the proceeding as the establishment of. a ter
ritorial - government... A minerity report from
the same committee treats the subject more
candidly. It says that the Indian policy has
been hitherto the "enforced removal of the
Indians to unoccupied or less desirable portions
of the public domain." That is to say when
.the whites have wanted any land ocznpled by
the reds, the whites have crowded the reds out
of it When ever they have been removed the
Indians have been told that they shoukl not be
removed aga!ner l "Permanent homes" were the
words used by Presideq Monroe in 1828.
"Gaurranteed to the Indian tribes as long as they
should occupy it" were the words of President
Jackson in 1829. The minority report rightly
says that these pledges "affect the honor apd
integrity of this government." These Indians
were put where they are "in almost every in-
stance their remonstrance, and in some
only by a resort to - superior physical power."
The territory "was set apart," says.the minority
report, "as .a permanent home for the red men
and his children for ever, and evhry sentiment
of justice, probity and humanity requests that
we shall commit no violation of faith, but that
the Indians now there, and other Indians soon
to be placed there, shall be allowed one spot on
this coOnent, once theirs, upon which to dwell
unmolested, and to solve, as solve they wilfin
due tin2e,the problem of Indian elevation and
civilization, or Indian degradation and extinc
tion. ,
These are fine words and they clothe excel
lent sentiments but we do not suppose' that
practically' they, will amount to anything.
There was never a guaranty to the Indians
which Was not swept away to: serve selfish
white interests. There never was a pledge in
treaty or statue which was not broken tor a like
purpose. It will be said that the triumph of
the superior race is inevitable and the inferior
race must yield to it. Even it it is true, why
should the superfor race make promises which
it, does not keep and does not mean •to keep ?
So long as the superior race disregards the obl
gallons of,good faith it should be ashamed to
break into loud lamentation when Sitting Bull
or some other member of the inferior race for
gets in turn its obligations and makes suc
cessful war for what , it believes to be its inter
est. There shoiild be an end of such shams as
this pretence of the majority report that "while
the whit take posession .of . "the, heart of the
continent," the reds are to be protected in their
rights there.
We ought not to be surprised, rf by and by
these Cherokees, Choctaws,Creeks, Chickasaws
and Seminoles, seeing that the superior race is
not to be trusted,, that its triumph is certain
and that they must yield to it--seeing, in a
word, that they must die, should resolve to sell
their lives as dearly as possible, and should
make it very lively some fine morning for "the
flower of our army" in "the heart of the;conti
neat."
THE BLUE GLASS CURE.
Gen. A. J. Pleasanton has written a long let
ter to the Chicago Tribune on the wonders of
blue glass: The glais which he uses is of a
dark blue, the color being derived from a pre
paration of - cobalt which is fused in the pot
with the other ingredients. It. 'is imported
from France, and .costs four times .as much as
American.window-glass. He gives in this let
'ter his personal experience is to the f..-urative
powers of blue and sun light baths.
_ln October
last he met with a verk ser:ous accident in
alighting from a wagon in •Philade l lphia. His
physician said that there hadrbeen nufracture
of the ribs or bones, but that he w-ould suffer
a long time . from the effects of the shock and
fall. Liniments and plasters afforded no -re:
lief He resolved , to try , blue glass, "In my
battereopa," he says, "I have a. window with a
southern exposure, arranged with alternue .
panes of glass." Uncovering my back, I 'Sat
with mY back to the blue and sun lights which'
were streaming .thfough the ,window into the
bath-room. As soon as these lights began to
fall upon my back the pains began to diminish,
and at the end of half an hour they had ceased
altogether. -Toward evening the pains return
ed, but they. were mach less than they had been
before ,I had taken the blue-light hatli,and dur
ing the night I was easier than I had been pre
viously The next day I took another bath of
blue and sun lights, which effectually relieved
me of -every. pain, and sicee then, now about
.three months, I have not had the slightest pain
- or. sensitivenessin the parts affected—three
consecutive sun and blue-light baths having
completely removed everysll effect of my most
serious accident.",
