Love aud Life.
Should life he all a garland
Of sweet and tliornless flowers
drown in a fairy far oil land
Of nn beclouded hours?
All! no; lot thorns together
Witli fragrant flowers entwine;
I hat so I prove thee whether
We share the sweets together,
And all the thorns be mine.
Should life be all an ocean
Of rapture-rippled tides,
V hereon in mazy motion
The south wiud softly glides?
Ah! no; let storms together
With rosy calms combine;
That so in wild-wind weather.
As we sail on together.
My heart may shelter thine.
Should life be all a measure
Of golden-vMrdled sound.
Wherein no briefest leisure
For minor tones be found?
Ah! no; let minor meanings
Amid its music be.
That so Love's intervenings
May store all sadder gleanings.
And share the sweets with thee.
Wholesome Lessons.
There are many ways of teaching
the public youni; and old the reg
ularly organized schools, by means
of books, by plays, by lectures, ser
mons, and other public addresses, by
private counsel and by example. The
lessons given are many and va'rious.
The greater number are innocuous,
but those with a moral purpose or
effect ought to be well considered,
so that none may be given that are
not wholesome. If there is any doubt
upou the subject, they should be
avoided, for there are enough good
lessons to occupy all the time of a
teacher. In recent years there has
been a disposition upon the part of
novelists and playwrights to break
away from old-fashioned morality
and to teach some new lessons. By
means of seductive realism they have
succeeded in shaking public faith in
old-time principles and have thereby
done incalculable harm. They have
taught us that in certain" cases im
morality may be excused or for
given; that the wrongdoer is not
wholly bad, and they appeal to the
truth of their representations as an
excuse for submitting them to the
public in books or in plays.
No great harm would be done by
such novels or such stage represen
tations if they were to be read or
seen only by experienced men and
women, who would recognize in them
the exceptions that according to the
adage prove the rule, but they are
read or seen by young as well as old
and their tendency is to confuse the
sense of right and wrong, and thus
to break down the conception of
orality. "Camille'" as novel and
play is a notable example of this
misuse of the opportunities of novel
ists and dramatist to instruct as
well as to entertain the public, and
in recent years even more daring
attempts have been made to estab
lish the exceptions to the general
rules of morality and to excuse those
who have done wrong by exhibiting
their sufferings and thus arousing
the sympathies of reader or audi
ence. It is impossible to specify
what shall be considered moral and
what immoral in literature and the
drama, but as a general rule any
novel or play which raises a doubt
in the mind as to the truth of the
generally accepted principles of mo
rality is to be avoided as unwhole
some. Authors seek to get away from the
conventional plan of the story in
which virtue is rewarded and vice is
punished, but in doing so they near
ly always teach a bad lesson or shake
the faith of the young in good les
sons. Thackeray has shown how to
picture humanity in true colors with
out losing sight of general principles
of morality. His heroes are not alto
gether heroes, his villians are not
altogether bad, yet his novels have a
wholesome influence-. Some later
writers, and especially dramatists,
have in their efforts to be original
reversed the old order of plays and
endeavored to arouse the sympathies
of auditors for the wrongdoers and
to incite rebellion against the estab
lished laws of morality. In doiug so
they may merely entertain the intel
ligent, while doing untold injury to
the ignorant and susceptible, who
stand most in need of wholesome
lessons. Teaching by precept has
little effect compared with the les
sons that are taught by realistic
novels and plays.
And for this reason care should be
taken to guide the young in their
reading of new books and in their
visits to the theatres, so that the
teachers of false morality may be
avoided. The problem play of recent
days may not contain a scene as ob
jectionable in one sense as certain
scenes from Shakespeare, but Shake
speare's plays are wholesome by
comparison. The novel or plays that
tends to break down or weaken in
any degree the ordinary conception
of what is right and what is wrong
is mischievous to the last degree and
should be avoided as teaching un
wholesome lessons.

ARP-LIKES THE LIGHT.
As BUI Grows Older, Twilight Seems
to Shorten.
I confess that I do not like the
night except when I am asleep. Of
course I mean the dark night nor
do I go into raptures over what we
call the twilight that doubtful light
twixt sunshine and darkness, and
literally means "light cut in two,
it seems to me that these twilights
grow shorter as we grow older.
When the day is done the darkness
does seem to fall from- the wings of
night, and we hasten to light the
lamps, for darkness is never wel
come. It is an intruder and a sym
bol of every evil thing. We suppose
that night was created as a contrast
to make us eujoy the day, just as
evil was created as a contrast to that
which is good. The Scriptures say
no good thing concerning darkness
or night, and when describing Heav
en say, "There shall be no night
there." They tell us of outer dark
ness and thick darkness and dark
ness that may be felt. Darkness
was one of the ten plagues that was
sent upon Pharaoh. Job cursed the
day of his birth and says, "Let that
day be darkness. Let darkness and
the shadow of death stain it." David
saith, "Sorrow endureth for the
night, but joy cometh in the morn
ing," and tells of pestilence that
walketh in darkness. The apostles
use it as a symbol of every calamity.
Darkness covered the land when the
Saviour was crucified. The devil is
called the prince of darkness. An
cient mythology describes Erebus as
a dark cavern through which the
spirits of the damned and wicked
dead shall pass on their way to hell.
And Homer writes of a country call
ed Cimmeria afar bevond the sea
where the sun never shines and the
people live in darknes. Milton de
scribes the darkness of Hades as so
dense that it was visible. Speakiug
of evil spirits that haunt mankind, J
be says they move in darkness, but
fear truth and chastity. "No evil
thing that walks by night in for
or fire no hag, or ghost, or gob
lin damned has hurtful power over a
chaste and virtuous woman." Mont
gomery says, "Night is the time to
weep." And Shakespeare says, "In
the dark night, imagining some fear,
a little bush appears to be a bear."
Young says, "An atheist half believes
in God by night," and Tennyson says
of himself, "I am but an infant cry
ing in the night an infant crying
for the light."
But this is enough, and these rum
inations were provoked last night
about miduight the hour when the
deep sleep falleth upon a man, but
not upon a woman. My wife's voice
awakened and startled me. She said,
"What is it? Who is it? What do
you want?" Then she called me and
struck a match and lighted the can
dle that was near. "What did you
hear?" said I. "Somebody is at the
door," she said, excitedly. "Which
door," said I. "This one right here
maybe somebody is sick upstairs,"
she said. Unlocking the door quick
ly, the light shone into the room, but
nobody was visible. I examined the
room carefully and then went into
the hall and dining room and thence
upstairs on tiptoe, but all was silent.
When I returned she said, "Well, I
did certainly hear somebody at that
door, and it waked me, but maybe I
was dreaming. I remember now, I
did have a troubled dream, but please
look under the bed before you put
out the light." Such is conjugal life
and felicity. For some time I laid
awake listening for a noise and rum
inating on human helplessnes during
the darkness of the night.
I remember when I had an unwill
ing fear of ghosts that I would not
acknowledge. I got it from the aw
ful stories that our negroes told us
children, for there was a fascination
about them that drew me to their
cabins by night, and I listened to
their made-up tales of ghosts and
witches and Jack O'Lanterns and
raw head and bloody bones until l
was afraid to look around behind me,
and had to be guarded to the big
house door when I left. But this
childish fear passed away, and long
since I have realized there are no
spirits to haunt us, and that "only
man is vile."
My wife is not a timid woman, but
she is cautious, and will not consent
for me to keep a pistol in our bed
room for fear I might have a bad
dream and shoot somebody through
mistake. She never sleeps very
sound. A mother who has nursed
ten children never does, and the
cracking of the paper on the wall will
arouse her. She is happy now, for
there is another grandchild not far
away, and she goes there every day.
Pretends she goes to help Jessie, but
it is really to nurse and fondle Jesse's
baby boy, for the maternal instinct
never dies, aud she has not forgotten
the lullabies she sang to her children
in their infancy. I remember how
my aged mother, when on her last
bed. dreamed away her loving life
imagining there was a babe at her
breast and whispering a song to it
iust before she died. She found two
in heaven when she got there. Oh,
ye young men who linger and jest in
i the saloon or around the gaming
tables or frequent disreputable
places, stop and think. Stop and
think, and remember the long and
weary nights that a mother watched
with you and never complained
iiayoe ner spirit is watching you
now and yearning over you in the
spirit land. For her sake stop and
think and come back to the innocence
of your childhood.
Ana mere are some little songs
that I, too, remember and still can
sing to the little helpless teething
things and soothe them to sleep as I
walk the rocm. My little baby songs
are stereotyped in my memory and
have been handed down, though not
published or copyrighted. They are
a masculine medley of "By. babv.
bunting," "Hush, my dear, lie still
and slumber," "Julianna Johnson,
don't you cry," "Away down in
Shinbone alley," "And we'll pass
over Jordan," aud so forth. They
are all in the same key and in the
same meter and dovetail into one an
other and just go round and round,
monotonous and mournful, until the.
child has to go to sleep to keep from
hearing them; nevertheless, it is a
fact that I can get a sick child to
sleep when its mother can't and
sometimes away in the dead of night,
as I walked the room in my night
shirt, I have not only got the child
to sleep, but the mother, too.
But I am having some little domes
tic troubles that are disturbing my
tranquility. Night before last I slip
ped the keys off the nail in the back
room and went to the pantry to get
some nice apples I had hid away there
for a surprise to the family just be
fore bedtime. I like these little sur
prises and so do they. I found the
cat locked up in the pantry and put
her out, and then pushed the door to
to keep her out while I was getting
the apples. It is acuriouadoor lock,
for it has no knob ou the inside, and
I soon found that the cat was locked
out and I was locked in. I rapped
and banged for awhile for somebody
to hear me and come, but nobody
came, inen 1 knocked harder and
halloed louder, but to no effect. Then
I kicked the door and made all sorts
of a racket, but nobody came. So I
concluded they heard me, but thought
it good fun to keep me in prison and
give me time to reflect on my past
life and the value of freedom in this
land of liberty. But I didn't ponder
long on those things. I was perplex
ed, but after a while thought of my
knife as a screw-driver aud soon had
the hasp off and was out of prison,
"Didn't you all hear me?" I inquired.
"Yes, we heard you knocking. What
were you doing out there?" said my
wife. They thought I was fixing or
mending something, and did not hear
my voice, for there were two rooms
aud a hall between us and all the
doors shut. I distributed the apples
and everything was soon calm and
serene, but I have an increased hor
ror of being put in jail and I am go
ing to behave myself and keep out.
Monday night we heard Mrs. Sher
idan sing and it was a feast. We
have known her from childhood, when
she wore panteletts and pinafores
and went to school in Rome with my
children. I could not realize that
this was or ever had been little Sarah
McDonald who used to play and romp
and scream like other children, but
in her early youth she heard a prima
donnasingand resolved to bea great
singer, too. The Scotch-Irish blood
was in her veins and she succeeded.
Her father and mother were poor,
but that made no difference. They
had faith religious faith Bible faith
and named their four boys Matt
hew, Mark, Luke and John, and their
three daughters Mary, Martha and
Sarah. Mark and Luke are living in
Rome yet and have prospered. Sarah
chanced to visit Philadelphia some
years ago ana oy request sang one
Sabbath at a little mission church
that was founded by John Wanna
maker. He was there and heard her
and took great liking to her and help
ed her to visit Europe to have her
voice trained. She soon found other
friends, who have befriended her and
lavished upon her theiraid and bless
ing. As I listened to her singing those
sweet old Scottish song I wondered
if there were not many just such fe
male voices in that audience and all
they lacked was culture and deter
mination. I recalled Gray's beauti
ful lines
Full many a gem of purest ray serene
The dark, unfathomed caves of ocean
bear:
Full many a flower is lxrn to blush un
seen.
And waste is sweetness on the desert

Financial and Commercial.
Special Correspondence.
New York, Nov. 2G, 1901.
No unfavorable change has been
apparent during the past week in
the general condition of trade and
industry. Business in leading branch
es is remarkably active, and there is
continued widespread complaint of
delayed deliveries, due to the over
crowded condition of works or the
inadequate terminal facilities, motive
power and car equipment of the trans
portation companies. Payments
through banks were exceptionally
heavy last year after the Presidential
election, but so far during the pres
ent month they have exceeded the
record for November, 1900. The in
industrial situation is very strong.
Yery little machinery is idle in any
direction, and in many industries
contracts already entered upon mill
books assure continued full employ
ment for months to come. Business
failures during the past week, ac
cording to R. G. Dun & Co., num
bered 218 in the United States and
31 in Canada, against 238 in this
country and 29 in Canada during the
corresponding week last year.
Cotton prices show little change,
but have been well sustained as a re
sult of decreased receipts, a wider
acceptance of estimates of a crop
yield below 11,000,000 bales and a
better demand from exporters. Do
mestic spinners have continued to
buy moderately, and their takings
for the season have not yet equaled
purchases for the corresponding pe
riod last year. A decline of one-
quarter to one half of a cent in prices
of staple has unsettled confidence in
price stability in some branches of
the cotton goods trade, but there
have been few other changes in price.
Demand for plain staple fabrics from
domestic bui'ers has continued to re
flect immediate distributing require
ments; but there has been further
.food buying of brown cottons for
export to China. Makers of export
grades now have their production
undercontract for four months ahead.
The corn movement is light, and
prices show very slight changes from
the figures current a week ago. The
price of corn in Chicago is 25 cents
per bushel higher than it was a year
ago, and on this basis there is little
ncentive to operate for an advance,
while, on the other hand, the small i
crop and light receipts restrain bear-
ish speculation. Exports of corn ,
continue very light. Chicago prices
show advances of 27 cents per barrel
on pork, 12 cents per 100 pounds on
ribs and 25 cents per 100 pounds on
lard. This strength is attributable
to the high cost of feed, the light
weight of current offerings of hogs
and firmness of interior prices for
the animals. The movement of bogs
to packing centres is large. Ex
ports of meats and lard for the week
have been comparatively light.
Wheat prices have declined i to I
a cent per bushel. These small re
cessions in the face of several bearish
developments in the markets are an
evidence of strength rather than of
weakness in the situation. If trade
sentiment were not generally favor
able to wheat the big Northwestern
movement, a large accumulation of
stocks and the liquidation of Decem
ber contracts, which have occurred
during the week, would have resulted
in a much greater decline in prices.
The scarcity of cars and the nearness
of the close of inland navigation have
hastened shipments via the lakes from
the Northwest. Domestic visible
stocks have increased nearly 4,000,
000 bushels, and the world's visible
supply shows a gain of about 10,000,
000 bushels. The winter wheat mar
kets have been relatively firm, be
cause the receipts of this variety
have been comparatively small. Feed
ing of wheat in the West has con
tinued on a liberal scale, and some
authorities estimate that this unusual
consumption will absorb full 50,000,
000 bushels of the 1901 crop yield.
Interior milling demand is active,
and many of the spring wheat mills
are running night and day to keep
pace with orders for flour. Export
demand continues fair, and from pres
ent indications the year's require
ments of importing countries will
take from the United States 250,000,-
000 bushels or more, which quantity,
together with 50,000,000 bushels for
cattle food, would exhaust the sur
plus over normal home needs and
leave a reserve no larger than that
available at the outset of the present
crop year.

GOVERNOR YATES.
Endorsement of Paine's
Celery Compound
Attracts the Attention of Medical
Journals.
Thousands of Such Cases Mr.
Storms' Letter.
A medical journal, says a writer
in the Boston Traveler, has the names
and addresses and full histories of
hundreds of cases of chronic and
acute rheumatism that have been
permanently cured by the wonder
ful remedy which has recently at
tracted wide attention since Gover
nor Yates of Illinois publicly endor
sed it.
Nothing else has ever been known
to cure like obstinate cases. When all
others have failed this marvelous
remedy- for blood and nerves has
made sick people well.
Paine's celery compound corrects
unhealthy nerve action and feeds
the nerve centers with the elements
needed to build them up again into
healthy tissues. It cleanses the blood
of every trace of poisonous humor
and encourages a rapid crowth of
red corpuscles upon which the vigor
of the entire body depends.
Its action is perfectly intelligible
to every able physician.
Diseases of the nervous system do
not come without warning. Rheu
matism, dyspepsia, insomnia, and
diseases of the liver and kidneys are
but loud cries for a prompt increase
of nourishment for the brain and
nerve centers. Paine's celery com
pound feeds these vital parts, and it
is upon its marvelous power of nour-

ishing all the nerve tissues and puri
fying the blood that its remarkable
cures depend.
Weariness, lack of energy, and des
pondency are more a matter of ner
ves and brain than of the mucles.
At this season of the year when
thousands of over-working people
are entering upon the drudgery that
will have no cessation for nearly a
year to come, many are already
showing the symptoms that sooner
or later result from hurry, care, anx
iety, and haste without the amount
of rest and recreation that nature
intended.
Thousands of tired mothers, school
teachers, and too ambitious scholars
will reveal the strain before the
winter is over.
It is high time for all to strike at
the root of the trouble. "Begin the
work of recuperation and cure at
the earliest moment.
All who try it will find strength
and freedom from disease iu Paine's
celery compound, which corrects un
healthy nerve action, and supplies
the veins with pure, more abundant,
more vigorous blood. Paine's celery
compound is almost universally pre
scribed by physicians who differ on
many other things, but who estimate
at its proper worth this greatest of
all remedies for the prevention and
cure of disease. It is no exaggeration
to say that every week brings hun
dreds of letters from those who have
used Paine's celery compound and
have been benefited by it. Above is
the picture of Represenative G. H.
Storms, one of the cattle kings cf
Kansas, who says: "I regard Paine's
celery compound as the most bene
ficial and valuable of remedies, es
pecially during the fall months." He
writes as have many thousands of
others of the good the remedy Las
done in his own case. Let the reader
try it and prove for himself the abun
dant truth of all that has been said.
It is uot what Paine's celery com
pound says, but what it does, that
tells the story of its world-wide fame.
