To AM, AHOUT OsTIUClIKS: We cannot know what this gawky bird, with its hati-hazard feature, actually lias in its iniiul unless we Ik? ostriches ourselves; hut we may attempt to think its thoughts by reason of watching its actions, anil jjfetHiiyjiak ,,.JWulvsUlu which is desperately truo uf fher two-legged creatures besides stridi es. Now according to the accounts of travelers, tliis bird when alarmed has a way of hiding its head; the idea seeming to be that if it cannot see the pursuer, the pursuer can not see it. If cloMiig the eves reallvstojiped pursuit, what a pleasantly easy time tliis sull'erer from woman's whims would have. The troubles do not vanish llius easily, and we laugh at the poor dunce of a bird, u ho dreams that he has blotted out the world and its niiseriejust by 'refusing to see them ; yet there are ot tier dunce: with the same number of feet, am thev do not all wear feathers. tiiiu Ouee iiiiiih a- tin fairv tales express it, t riches put tlieir thev would better ome hunted os leads together have been scurrv- ing over the sands and when they were bundled like Imivs in a liiot hall scrimmage, one of them sudden ly exclaimed "I cannot see any hunt er; there is none," and so said they all; but they lost their feathers just the same. On another occasion an ostrich thrust his head into a narrow hole. He had a moment before been in the full glare of the sun, but in the darkness he saw nothing, so hecoin niuneil with himself, "I sit- no sun, I see nothing; therefore, there is no sun, no nothing. Hp to this time I have been dreaming." Hut the herbage kept on growing, and the ardent sun looked after the neglect ed Cirirs and ravc the final Wiiriuinir influence to hatch out another gener ation of dunces. There are people in the world who profess to be good, they bend the km-e in the sanctuary, they give freely of their money, they shout loud ''Aniens"; until some fateful day they come tumbling down in lo cal esteem; for this S. S. superin tendent or that deacon has rohltcd a iMink or wronged a woman or any one of a long list of things that ruin life and bring disgrace on fair ca reers. Then is the liivorablo time for the human ostrich to come along in the form of a young man, full of ipiestioiiings in his mind, and full of deceit wlici his mint!, on little evidence or much, is once made up. He argues thus to himself: "What thl So and So profess? Christliness. hat did he do? Stole even a jnior widow's mite. The Bible. Who is supposed to give authority to the Bible? God. Therefore, I will not believe m l tot I or the bible nor religion." I am not intending to argue here what things are true ami what are untrue, but I want you to sec the r cliarinmjr uimccrv ot vour lofric. lift me show vou vour own ostrich wav, as m a mirror. .n me an . ... .1 eients were nrenared to swear that the earth was flat and the sun its attendant (satellite. They were even prepared to kill those who would tossi fy differently. Hut while they were professing to run the universe to suit tlieir narrow minds, wnat was the truth? The earth was globular, and its orbit around the sun had licen practically unchanged or aires. .nw it is evident tnai an these millions, ignorant of the truth, K'heved in untruth, and vet all their miriads minds did neither af fect nor hinder the planets in their ippointed journeys. -g;iin, suppose we all with one leeord should deny the existence of the sun, we should merely proclaim our own liliiKlncss and tne sun would not lie affected a particle. It would be still there, hanging hotly iInivc us, our denials of its nee would be illdeseribablt exist-uoth- nil's. Now supposing (Jod to exist; the Sat Tetl Hook of any number of dif ferent religions with any number of litl'erent inaccuracies lived forth by inv iiiiiiiImt of frightful frauds fakirs of Hindustan or evil men and thieves in Christian churches do not afl'eet His existence or put Him isnlc. If be exist, a million denials if His existence, amount to nothing more than did ages ot ignorance in relation to the power that kept our globe circling. If a basic fiict of the universe lie true, it has 1h!cii true always and al ways will Ik1 true, even if never dis- covered. iiiinii or. tne modern chaining of electricity and you will see what I mean. The wondrous power we now control to 'pull our trains, light our rooms, cxk our meals, has been here as long as the world has existed. It is a truth of thotigh we never had wrenched its secret forward into light. ( F.ver the sun nliines. Though the night Ilrlngs dnrknPHK, yet, net vnnixhad quite, Our faith Is llelK'd hy mirrors dim The utility stars, the moon's cold rim, Or, when thd cloudy veil hangs low. Sonic shrcdlng flcceow lth gold will glow, And hid us hope. K en the sad soul Who dwells where mouths of darkness roll May tlml his iiilldclitr Relinked hysoiue pale star's (Inn eye. And mI i II, though iiiiestiouinKsiind douhts Ami ridicule nnd mocking shouts, Though nil men say no sun exists And i-ai-li one argil es as he list-., Ami. though the planets all culnliiue To hide hi face, still doth he shine : Some day nocloiiil shall t-lonk the hill, .No mist the gloomy valley till ; Itut every hatl:w lice away out driven hy the perfect day. .My brother ostrich, let us further one step of the one think whose failures have made yon hide your head. I reckon you would regard him as inexpressibly stupid who tried to picture to himself the Grant or Washington monument, with nothing before him but a sharp edg ed chip. Its rough appearance, its dangerous points, its unfinished and uniioli.shed sides are not the rioht made vol i hiiU limit's bv which to estimate the original 'f which it is a memento. .... ,. .i 1 II I II lv IIOVI ll Hill linu."v: in iim.-i-i li , (in, .i ,,i . , , 1 i rice ft. 00 per bottle, cent prepaid wretched lailurcs among men ami to any uddreeK, on reeeipt of pricH. women of good profession, nndleariijAl,lreip Hrry Lyue, 1011 V.

Jjocnl unions in large nuni liers have indorsed the movement. Other state and national conventions as they meet should also take action along the same line. Especially should the American Federation of Ealior, which meets in IVcciiiIkt, take a strong position in favor of postal savings banks. The demand fbr their establishment .should l)ere itcrated so persistently that congress cannot longer ignore the subject. The vote upon the adoption of the postal savings bank resolutions at Hlooinington was unanimous, which indicates the general sentiment of workingmeu on the subject.
