Is This True?
V cloma tlio following from the
Huniburfj 'J'ili jriji written by 11
corrrsponilont to t lint pnprr while
on a bicyelo trip up iilons; t ho Sus
lut huuuu Ilivir :
You conlil look over i ito Sny.ler
county nil the way up from Cluoro
town toSunlniry. I never puss Sny
iler eountv but what I think of the
liiui','iii that onee took place in that
county. It whs a Iru'al lmntiiiif,', not
a eue of lynch, ami icsulteil from
the niunli r of an ohl eouplo w ho
were killeil for their money. The
fellow who diil the killini; were
hunted down by "Uully"' Lyons, of
Heading, famous as u terror to .evil
doeiH, uud hc vi rul of the ruscuU
were convicted and lmnged. ItHeems
that on the trial thero were pome
dispute as to whether another man,
not then arrested, had not connived
nt the nnr.di r. or had something to
do with it. Whether ho had or not
was not clear. At any rate be was
not arrested. lie f( It however, that
his good name, had been tarnished,
ond ho was anxious to remove the
Btain. Ou tho day of the execution
there was an enormous crowd in the
county jail, and evervbody wanted
to bco the hanging. J ho sheriff, a
jjood nutured man, let as many in
to the prison yard as he could crowd
in, ami among them was tho man
who wanted his character cleared.
IIo stood on the extremo outsido
edge of the em.vd and when the
condemned men were led out and
placed on the gallows he was very
much excited. As is tho custom, tho
men were asked if they desired to
make a few last remarks, and one of
f I'onnnd b a lurmikn In the snare
moments of a busy career aod dedi-l
rated to a bettor understanding of
life and its varied opportunities.)
A doctor finds it comparatively
pleasant and very easy to write a
nauseating prescription, for to the
patient alone belong the distress and
disgust of swallowing it. So it is a
simple matter to sit here in my arm
chair and scrawl a moral prescrip
tion for those weak and failing ones
who find themselves lacking in good
influence over their fellows. But the
likeness to the doctor ends here, for
the writer and the reader are both
interested iu the remedy. ,Tbe physician-patient
writes it down, then,
in one word, a compound t "ijelf-conquest."
Such a clearly defined remedy, al
most as simple as bathing in the
Pool of Siloam for blindness, or in
tho Jordan for leprosy. Ia that
compound word, however, lies an in
finitude of power ; just as within
the lifeless conl lies dormant the
fierceness of pre-historic sunshine j
or within the sparkling water, tho
energy of steam ; or within the sum
mer zephyrs, the marvellous disrup
tive forco of electricity. To release
the power of each, proper environ
ment is needed. To Bet ftoe the
mMit that lurks within self-coii-
.... A f
(piost, tho suitable environment is a
human heart ; and that, heart, yours.
Ono is tempted to indulge in tue
stilted phraseology of the quack
medicine purveyor and Btyle this
remedy a panacea. It is a heart ton
ic so valuablo and so lacking in
harmful reactions that it cannot be
abused by too much uso t so unaf
fected by latitude that its cures are
equally apparent in tho snow-hut of
the Laplander and under the palm
thatched homo of tho Carib; so
adaptive that both sexes, the old
and the young, tho mighty and the
humble, tho well-fed and the hungry,
tho wise and the foolish, the saint
and tho sinner, all derive benefit
from a free'use of this one unfailing
remedy.
With human beings, unlike the an
tmals. obedience to the dictates of
instinct, invariably leads astray, and
exposes our natures to the virus of
pride, selfishness, gluttony, and sen
suality. While these poisons are
creeping through our veins and do
in to death, as it were, . the
warriors for guuu, tbe wniu. cor
puscles of our moral blood we have
ao power. We may for a while by
our fair-appearing exterior deceive
our neighbors as to our heart con
dition ; wo may even throw conveni
ent dust in our own spirtual eye.
but when some supremo moment of
life comos then Bhall we fail, and
iguominiously, just when failure is
most serious 5 tho decayed mast
suaps in a gale, tho bridge yields at
tho moment that a human fi eight is
trusting to it.
Reforms and churches, ono needs
must mention both, niuco they are
not synonyms, aromadotip of in
dividuals and tho altitude of degro
dation of those individuals is tho
measure of tho power of both tho
reform and tho church. No wild
yieldur to lust is a gain to the mem
bership of tho ago-of consent re
form ; no self-seeker is of advantage
to the bands of tho wretched who
are waiting for their rights ; no
church member who with one hand
grinds tho face of tho poor, and with
tho other applies tho moral vaseline
of a penurous contribution to soup-
kitchens and missions, is of value to
tho church that throws ita simple,
trusting, and
again deny ourselves, says aquerul-
ous voice. Of course it is I So is
it harder to fight than to bend su
pinely to the blow, so is it harder to
force our way against a torrent than
to yield to its onrush, so is it more
toilsome to climb a steep ascent
than to glide down it a corpse of the
roaring crest of an avalanche. Yet
who that claims kinship to manhood
would cease struggling in these
physical directions, so long as A
spark of life remained. The feeble
pen that is followed by so many
eyes, halts and hesitates he.'e, and
questions whether this may not all
be too serious and to serraorio for
a newspaper column. The answer
comes t "No 1 for the press is call
ed to be a power." And the nega
tive is confirmed by a growing sound
that smites the psychic ear, a mur
mur that swells into an infinite
agony of vain regret 1 it is tbe voice
of all, as one, whose brightest pros
pects have vanished, whose powers'
for good have been overcome by
yielding to unholy ambition, to the
mere making of wealth, to the kill
ing of time, to the lowering of the
human standard till it became a par
ody and caticature of all that is dis
gusting in tho animal. These are
they whoso bodies conquered their
souls and permitted no deeds of val
ue to our race. By their vain breath
ings, by their chained and manacled
bodies, by their shrivelled soul, by
their animalism, tho sign is here
erected, "The secret of power is
Self-conquest."
AH sincere battling with self is in
some degree, sell-conquest. I ho
victory of ono day renders more
sure tin b'lsis of operations for the
next. So vast becomes tho growing
power over self, that before it the
trend of heredity goes down defeat
ed, until out of the filth comes forth
a creature as pure a the water-lily.
If by battling you gain tho mastery
of your instincts, you need no long
er yearn for power. You will have it.
You need not blaron it from tho
housetops, for those who meet you
will know you havo it. It will sur
round you, unconsciously on your
part, with a subtlo emanation that
will help or rebuke thoso who enter
its charmed circle. Thus from the
defeat to our highest that is threat
ened by our lowest, ycu will havo
wrested. victory ; and will take your
place among those purified and pow
erful ones that glorify our humani
ty. Station D. New York.
