AN OLD FASHIONED WOMAN.
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.

OREGON BOY
IN THE EAST
Erastus A. Smith Writes From
Rochester, N. Y.
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.
