President Harrison's annual message,
whleh n sent to pongres on Tuodny
of last week, will bo found on an insldo
Tho Standard Oil company is renehlng
out Its long fingors aftor tho Ohio coal
Holds with tho view of consolidating tho
bituminous coal Intercuts of that state
What MoLeod accomplished In the
anthracite regions of Pennsylvania the
Rending deal it Is argued can be
accomplished in the bituminous coal of
Ohio, provided tho coal roads could be
induced to jjo Into tho pool.
Generally when men dio, especially
men who have become widoly known,
the press finds something good to say
about thorn, but the newspapers have
been showing up Jay Gould in his true
life. Tho millionaire's life was a selfish
one even down to the grave. Charity
was unknown to the man who
accumulated an immonse fortune by
bankrupting others. Death is no
rcspoctor of person, the rich and poor
sooner or later yield to the inevitable.
The older one gets the faster,
apparently, the years pass by. We can
remember when a year seemed to have
no end and aftor Christmas had passed
it was really discouraging to look
forward to tho noxt Christmas time
which was a whole long year away. In
the language of Burdotte: "Christmas
was much farther apart when I was a
boy than it now is. It came by the
almanac, once a year, which was right
and regular. But such long years have
never been, since long ago."
A world with no death in it would
com, at first sight, glorious. But
perhaps it would be a cold, unsenti
mental world, with no love in it. If
those we press against our hearts could
never die perhaps all tenderness would
wither from the earth. The thought
of death makes us charitable. The
knowledge that every erring mortal
must die, makes us forgiving. Life is
too short to be wasted in fruitless
Wckorings and strife with your
neighbor. He has trouble enough,
goodness knows, without your trying to
add to it. One of the sacred duties of
every Individual is to try to shed a few
rays of sunshine into the lives of others.
Punxsutawney Spirit.
They may be rare, yet there are brave,
sympathetic souls who go through life
scattering sunshine and fragranoe, to
whom the present is always the time
for action. Such people have found the
real secret of happiness. Out of a
heart overflowing with kindly impulse,
throbbing with tho consciousness of the
brotherhood of man, these souls obey
the impulse of the Divine in thomsolves,
and the wedding feast is gayer, happier,
"because they are there; their presence
cools life's fever of ambition, haste and
greed. In their presence the tongue of
slander, misrepresentation, pique, Is
silent, because they speak an unknown
language. The grave is but the body's
receptaclo, so clearly do they see above
It, while the strangors who meet them
in life's journeyings feel their hearts
burn within them with new love, new
sympathies, new oxperienoes. Never
to them is the neglected opportunity.
What man thinks of them is never
their standard of action, but ever
present before them is the measure of
God's trust by the blessings and oppor
tunities life gives them.
Some one with a practical turn of
mind has said, "Their can be no
religion without soap," This no doubt
agrees with the oft repeated maxim
that "Cleanliness is next to Godliness."
Mr. Spurgeon says, "To keep debt,
dirt and the devil out of my cottage
lias been my greatest wish ever
.since I sot up housekeeping." This
alliterative trinity of evils needs to be
carefully guarded against. "A man
who is in debt is a slave-tolling to meet
the demands of another. He cannot
call what he possesses his own. He
had better a great deal have less, and
'owe no man anything,' according to the
apostollo injunction, than to have
large . possessions for which he is
responsible, but which in whole or in
part belong to another. A man In
debt is like a person overboard, with a
great weight about his neck, with
Which, by great exertion, he may reach
the .shore, but which, nevertheless,
may sink him at any moment. But
whatever excuse may be made for men
going into debt, surely none can be
made for their living in dirt. Soap and
water are cheap, and brushes and
brooms are not very expensive."
