No clever, brilliant thinker she, With college record and degree She has not known the paths of fame, The world has never spoke her name, She walks in old, long trodden ways, The valleys of the yesterdays. Home is her kindgom, love her dower ; She seeks no other wand of power, To make home sweet, bring heaven near, To win a smile and wipe a tear, And do her doty day by day, In her own quiet plane and way, Around her ohildish hearts are twined As round some reverend saint en shrined, And following her the c'uldish feet Are load to ideals true and sweet, And find all purity and good In her iivinist motherhood. This sad old earth's a brighter plaoe All for the sunshine of her face, Her very smile a blessing throws, And hearts are happier where she goes A gentle, clear-eyed messenger To whisper love ; thank God for her. Home should never be the place where business should be disoussed except for a very short time. Mother has had all the troubles during the day that are good for her without being oompelled to listen to the troubles of her husband. Father has had euongh care while aoting in the capaoity of bread winner for the family without having all the details of the day put on his plate to digest for his evening meal. Discussing the doleful from morning until night is enough to set one crazy. As we want to die sane we never hash over our troubles to our family. Home is the place to show how good you feel. If you don't feel as good as you would like to, take a walk in the back yard ' until you get into a condition that' will permit you to be a comfort to those to whom you are in duty bound to be a comforter. The most of the things of this life may be set to musio, but people get the wrong tune and sing Naomi or Windham when they ought to set things to the musio of Mount Pisgah and Coronation. We may not all of as have the means to graduate at, Har vard, Yale or Oxford, but there )s a college at which all of us graduate the college of hard knocks. ' Misf or. tune, Fatigue and Disaster are the professors; kicks, cuffs and blows are the curriculum ; the day we leave the world is our graduation ; some sit down and cry ; some turn their faces to the wall anil pout ; others stand up and conquer. " Happy the bee that even under laden skies looks for blos soming flowers. Wise the fowl that instead of standing in the snow with one foot drawn up under the wing, ceases not all day to pick. IDLENESS. Idleness is an ugredient in the upper current, whioh was-oaroeiy known and never countenanced, in the good old linsey woolen, tow and linen, mush and milk, pork and po tato times of the revolutionary patrots and pilgrim fathers. We now have those among us, who would rather go hungry and be clad in rags, than to work. We regret that in this community we have a numerous train of gentleman idlers, who pass down the stream of life at the expense of their fellow passengers. They live well and dress well, as long as pos sible, bv borrowing and sponging, and then take to gambling, swindling and stealing before justice overtakes them. As long as these persons can keep up fashionable appearances and elude the police they are received into the com pany of the upper "Four Hundred." Many an idle knave by means of a fine coat, a lily hand, and a graceful bow has been received into the polite circles of society witli eclat and walked rough shod over a worthy young meohanio or farmer who had too much sense to make a dash or imitate the monkey shines of an itin erant dandy. A fine dress, in the eyes ot some, oovers more in than oharity. Young man, if you do not wish to be a nobody, or somebody much worse than nobody, then guajd your youth. A lazy youth will be a lazy man just as sure as a crooned sapung maxes a crooked tree. Laziness grows on people, it begins in oobwebs and ends in iron chains. Arouse yourself, young man. shaxe on tne wreionea and disgraceful habits of the do-nothing, if von have been so unfortunate as to incur them, and go to work at once. FAULT FINDING. A man would get a very false no tion of his standing among his friends and acquaintances if it were possible as many would like to have it pos sible to know what is said of him I behind his back. One day he would go about n a glow of selfesteem and 1 the next he would be bowed under a miserable sense of misapprehension ; and disgust. It would have been im possible for him to put this and that together and "strike an average." The fact is, there is a strange human tendency to take the present friend to present confidence. With strong natures this Jtendenoy proves often a stumbling block ; with weak natures it amounts to fickleness. Never employ yourself to discover the faults of others look to your own. You had better find out one of your own faults than ten of 'your neigh bor's. When a thing does not suit you think of some pleasant quality in it. There is nothing so bad as it might be. Whenever you catch your self in a fault finding remark, say some approving one in the same breath, and you will soon be cured. Some of the best of us have too many infirmities to answer for, says Dean Swift, we ought not to be too severe upon those of others ; and, therefore, if our brother is in trouble, we ought to help him without inquiring over seriously what produoed it. True worth does not exalt in the faults of others ; as true refinement turns away from grossness and deformity, in tead of being tempted to indulge in an unmanly triumph over it. . It would be well if, not only in looking at our own oondition, but at other people, we set out the sparkle instead of the gloom. With five hun dred faults of our own, we ought te let some body else have at least one. When there is such an excellent hunt on your own ground, let us not with rifle and grey hound , pack fspend (all our time in scouring our neighbor's lowlands. We are afraid the imper fections of other people may kill us yet. How much better, like the sun, to find light wherever we look. We often think that the very rich must be very happy, but riches bring neither happiness nor content. The most perfect serenity is found with those who hhave learned to limit their desires, rather than with thosb who have unlimited means of gratifying their desires.. To possess a home and those in it, . who love us,'""tb have health and money enough to satisfy our actual wants these are the ele ments absolutely necessary to a con tented life. The man who has a field to plow and plant has a better chance for health and happiness than the man who seeks by golf and other social di versions to get the exercise and de velopment that the Lord meant he should obtain by labor. It is good to labor. It is good to bo obhdged to labor. Necessity forces us to do many things that are'for our good. Beautiful Columbia River Folder.

IS IN BAPTIST SEMINARY In Letter to Church Publica tion He Says the Town Has Much of West ern Energy, Cirtt Chilli aid Fever. G. W. Wirt, Nacogdoches, Ttxas, says: " His daughter had chills and fe ver for three years ; bt could not find anything that wonld help her till he used Uerbine. His wife will not keep bouse without it, and cannot say too mucn lor it." 6Uc. (Jbsrman & Uo. After a long, weary ride aoross British America through the most delightful scenery on the continent and through the largest wheat fields of the world, and by Niagra, we are at last in Rochester, where the real Baptist Sominary is situated. Before saying anything of Rochester or the Seminary, I want to give you my impressions of Canada and the Canadians. It looks as if the great Painter of the universe had made;His master strokes form the Fraser river oanyon t Calgary. The grain fields west of Winnipeg are the largost and the crop the heaviest we have ever seen. The outlook north of Lake Superior can not be duplicated. It is one great rook pile, covered with stunted evergreens, with many little lakes and rvers thrown in between. Here and there are to -be seen trading stations of the old historical Hudson Bay Company, surrounded by Indian huts and trapper's oabins. This part of the oountry is full of iron, copper and niokel. Very few Americans have any idea of the magnitude and worth of British Amerioa, and very few Amerioan towns are as well governed as Winnipeg or Toronto. The latter oity is twice as large as Portland, but how different 1 We were there on Sunday, and every saloon, cigar store, and ice cream parlor was closed upl' We found the. Canadians to be gen ial and oonrtoous, and certainly they have a greater respect for law and order than their American cousins. They have no desire to unite with the States, having been alienated by our splendid tariff system enacted to pro tect infant industries like the Amer ican Steel and Standard Oil companies . We do not find so muoh difference between this and Oregon; fruit and vegetables are' much the same, but we are most delighted with the town, the people and the Seminary. The town has muoh of the Western push and energy. The residonoe portion of Roohester, will compare favorably with Cleveland, Denver, or Portland. Some of its avenues cannot be excelled. The splendid old elms make a perfect archway on some of its streets. The people are a combination of Puritan and Cavalier, and have much of the Westorn goniality and hospitality. Ono man actually said he would be glad to take us to dinnor with him j we are now waiting lor mm to say when. But the Seminary I We came here expecting to like it; like it, howweor, does not express the feoling. We are already in love with the Sominary and that grand teaoher of prophets, Dr. Strong. The presidout and his associates are utterly dovoid of pomp- ousness ; by example and word they seek to draw out the of the student liia vory best, as did . the humble Teacher of Nazareth. President Strong is as evaugolistio as the church, and as othodox as the Word of God. Ho said in his address to the Junior Class, "Young men, begin now to give out to some one each day what the Lord has done for you ; you will get out of this school just in pro portion as you put into it. Have you come hore for purely intellectual training? A theological course that is purely intellectual is alwav3 in curably skeptical. To be a theologian of the head only is to be one-eyed and lacx tne screeoscoptio erreot that comes from head and heart culture. " These utterances speak for themselves more than our pen can. Wo are ploasod to find the Paoiflo Baptist among the periodicals in the library and regarded by the faculty as one of the best denominational papers. Those teachers snrprisod us in knowing where their students wore and what they were doing. They ex pressed a J;een interest in Brothers Riloy, Varney, Clarke, Seoor, and others. Dr. Strong surprised us by his intense . interest in their prosonal welfare. Feoling as we do now, we can not anticipate what our state of mind and heart will bo when we come to leave this schoool. We watch for tiie Pa cifio BaptiHt for it is the oue connect ing link with home. ERASTUS A. SMITH, Rochester Theological Seminary. t
