There should be no conflict between business and religion. Tho tsend of religion Is ever In the direction of pros perity. A mnn ought ever to be as religious suiting wheat or sugar as he Is at prayer meeting, and If he Is not his religion Is a snare and a delusion. Re ligion Is the nurse of economy, the patron of industry, the guardian of integrity, and is a pledge of and guide to success. Small debts are what blight the gen eral business of the country. Every store keeper has a large number of small debts on his books, and when It Is re membered that the aggregate amount in many cases to hundreds of dollars, and thut It comes out of the profits of tho business, It can readily be seen why the small debt system of tho country figures largoly In discouragements and losses to tho trade. Let It be your most earnest endeuvor to keep your moral Instincts right and true. Never let them lie disguised by sentiment: never let them be obllterat ed by self-indulgence; never let them be sophisticated by lies. Do not think that light words and carolos thought about them will bo indifferent, and will leave you unaffected by them. "Character," as is said bv our latest moralist, "Is not cut in marble; it Is not something solid and unalterable; It is something living and changing, and may become diseased, as our bodies do." Money is the all-absorbing theme of public discussion. It is an article that everybody wants, and yet strange to say, It is about the only thing that is utterly valueless in our posession. We must part with it to supply any of our wants or needs, whilo almost everything else In the material universe can bo utilized to supply human wants In the hands of the owner. Money is simply a measure of values in the sale or ex change of commercial commodities, and the moro frequent it performs its duty the more fully it performs its function as a circulating modtum. As the country is entering upon a political campaign it is well to re member that evory citizen has a right to freedom in forming his opinions. This is a Government by the people. Abuse is not argument. Intolerance is intolerable. The interests of men are various. Each man looks at men and measures from the standpoint of his own Interest. He should be perfectly free to express his convictions and his reasons for them. By bearing the reasons from all sides men will learn what conclusions will result in the greatest good to the greatest number. Men who condemn violently dogmatism in religion are guilty of the most . offensive dogmatism when they deal with political themes. The saying that "everything is fair in love, and war, and politics" has the cordial disappro bation of every man who lovea his country and desires to promote its best interests. To seek for full knowledge, to maintain a calm and judicial temper, in desirable just now. Langhorn iSfuiirlard. A persistent reader of current peri odicals will, no doubt, sometimes feel like agreeing with Dr. Holmes that poetry will become lost art with us, The Dr. is quoted as saying that "to be sure wo have a large number of writers of verse I refer to the rising generation of writers and it 1b very good verse, too, but very little very little of it rises to the scale of real poetry. It is not sufficiently striking to impress itself upon the world to endure. The dis position is to indulge in the fanciful forms of verse, such as the sonnet, the triolet, and tho rondeau all pretty enough in their way, but very few poems of this character have ever beuoine immortal. For ex ample, the sonnet is one of the most mechanical and artificial tonus of verse ' there Is. To be sure, Bhakespear's son nets are excellent, yet they are not, strlotly speaking, sonnets, as they do ' apt conform to the established rules governing the - construction of fbe sonnet. If one is to succeed in poetry he must give free relu to bis sentiment and imagination in the more simple and natural lorms or verse." Cuts Culling. Where ignorance Is bliss it's folly to establish night schools. There Is always room at the bottom of the early strawberry box. Many a ball room dress In covering a warm heart reaches It's limit. Men may come and men may go, but the gas meter goes on forever. Never boast of your blood you may have to buy sarsaparllla next spring. Never judge a womon's cooking by the cake she sends to tho church social. Never marry a girl who Is not indus triousyou might want her to support you sometime. Cleanliness may be next to godliness; but it takes lots of advertising to sell soup, nevertheless. Never marry a large-hearted man. Ho has a capacity for loving too many women at the same time. Clothes do not mnko the man; yet Solomon, In all his glory, was not ar rayed as a living picture. Never judge a man by tho clothes he wears; form your estimate from the wearing apparel of his wife. Never argue tho point with the man who tells you that he Is one In a thou sandho may be ono of the ciphers. Notice to Navigators.

Rldgway Democrat. The citizens of a town out in Minne sota tried a little experiment recently, with the usual result. In order to dis cover whether the tramps who have been importuning them for assistance were, as they claimed to be, honest men In search of employment, they entered Into a combination. Thenceforward whenever a tramp asked for something to eat he was handed a ticket with In structions to give It to the town marshal. The latter introduced the tramp to a saw and a quarter of a cord of wood, In forming hira that when the wood had been prepared for kindling purposes a square meal would be forthcoming. What was the result? Why, that town had a great deliverance; the tramps soon heard of the new arrangement and they walked around. A real tramp will not work.
