To the Howard Clvi; I am in the editorial chair, or at least think I am for the present, llditor Goggle-eye of the 'J'omun Crick Liir bein seriously ill with the "grip" eent for me to occupy his chair. He knows a good maa when he sees him. At the timo I was vi-itinj Frank's "fat baby boy." I immediately ppread hirn out on the floor to eijuall wht-n tue news reached me that Kditor !oi:zle-eye was eick. I was bo glad to accept the position that I almost hoped old (.iole-oye would get eick. The baby kept equalling for me to take it alon, but bow in the world could I possibly write editorials when that little ''whiHei" r-houli keep up euch a squall as he had been doing all the while I was there? I didn't etop to the entreating of the child when I knew the paper had to be put out on Saturday. 1 hopped into the bucgy and was soon speeding away over bills and rough country in general, to the email city lyinjr in a clever little valley, I thinking what would be the best to put in for editorial. I hadn't much time to think for the burly driver kept me halfwitted with hia chat. At last I stood it as lone as possible, and told him my mind was full of business andwished him to Etop his clatter. He got mad in a minute, and, as you m:iy suppose I had to knuckle down. I kindly gave mv and therefere could not etudy up a nice thought. oon we arrivvd. It ia a very dinzy town, bnt I credit it for its enterprise and news. The driver baited before a oneEtorv structure, ? natty in position, with a couple of stovepipes extending several feet above the roof. The otfice of late had been moved and therefore was to my as-toni-ihment, a curiosity, (ilad of the chance to be an editor. I didn't knock on the door, but merely .acted as general manager, and pushed open the door in a rus-h, knocking over the "devil" that ha.-n't given ma a eweet look gince. He looked as if at the present time, had a notion to 'Vet my face," but the foreman wan preeent and therefore saved my possesions. Suppose you think I then went into the editorial department. I did. 1 anltfed the direction to the editor's room, and by the foreman pointing to a corner of the same room, high up on a couple of lartte storeboxts, found it to be the sanctum. I went up a gtep ladder quicker than a monkey and seated myeeli before half a box standing before me, and took up a piece of paper, began to write. " W'at'er ve doin', ye dirty greaser?" came an inquiry from below. Looking at the margin of my throne I knew it was the foreman. I began to explain to him what I was there for, but he would Dot listen. lire! 6lam! Now was time to be hunting reproof. The foreman had thrown an ink-roller at me, and as luck would have it, it missed me, Itrikinjf just before me in the corner. I knew the rascal would soon play with me, if I had no response, so I took a large ink bottle and tossed it at him. I saw it take

No! No! Not at all. He soon got all right, and by me telling him I was just from the west, he ubruitted. Quietly did he Bar, "fereive me." I was again at my work, busy as if nothing had happened. The foreman resumed his work as if I had been the fellow that had been struck instead of himself. All went to the notch. Everybody working to an advantage. You may wonder why the other force did not bounce me when I hit the foreman. The only reason was that part of the force wasn't theie. (Iracious, but the pen did rake off the editorials.

Soma Goad Thought, by "Camilla" of Wat Virginia. Dear II. L. C. Friends : As we go forth to encounter the responsibilities and perils of life, our character is determine! by what we appear to be, and by what Heas men form of us. Have we wisdom to discern truly what constitutes manhood and nobleness of character, and have we valor to lead us thither? If we would win the confidence of thoso around us we mutt be truthful and honest and move in good eociety. All the forces and elements of the society in which we move are our teachers. "N'e never come to a standstill, but are continually gathering as we go. The building of character never ceases while life lasts. Others have their influences ; wo, too, have ours. Are we helping to bui'ul up morality and improve society, or are we tainting others by our unrighteousness and sins? AV should pay more attention to our manners, our conduct and the laneuairo we use than to the putting on of costly apparel. Honor, virtue and integrity never become Eoiled, but retain their brightness when we nre advanced in years. Whatever be our vocation in life let us go at it with a will. Tut our whole iniifht in it. Whenever duties are performed at the proper time and in perfect order then w ill labor bo appreciated and success assureil. The true character of intelligence is to be able to discern what is true and w hat is false. There is a rieht way and a wrong way. One way or the other we are traveling. We cannot start wrong in youth, thinking we are sowing our "wild oats," that we will come out right by and by. Two diverging lines widen as they go, and the longer we travel in the wrong road the farther we are from the right. In going forth to conllict with the stern rea.ities of life let us take with us a conscience and have it for our our guide. In all things let us be honest, sober and industrious, searching out the pearls of earth in a truly noole and lofty spirit. Ly studying the character of heroism we add wisdom and virtue and power and beauty to our own thoughts. Noble characters who have long since passed to the unseen world are calling to us out of the depth of atres to be true men and women. Not as the sparkling dew drops ou the web, or the frost work on the window-pane; but reai, genuine, the solidst thirnc which we know of. Nobility of character depends not only upen our being noble in this life, but we must have faith in God and immortality. Without this faith human life would b a farce. He is the fountain of all wisdom, the source of all strength, who made ah things for us ; endowed us with intellects; given to us a mind, a conscience and a heart. This faith will befriend us amid the trials of life; go with us down the declivity of ages; be a comfort to us in death's dark hour, and bear us aloft on balmy wimts till the storms of the receding world are heard no more. "1'hilomena," we need your assistance. Cannot we expect a letter from you soon? "Little Urown-Eyed Jennie," lay aside that oration for a short time, plenso, and come to the page with another one of your good letters. Where, oh ! where, are all our West Virginia members? Why silent po long? If I knew of anything that I could say which would be an inct-ntive toward arousing within you a lesire to put forth your best effort iu behalf of the interests of the club 1 would wiliingly do eo. A hearty welcome to all new members. My deepest sympathy for the bereaved ones. Wishing you all a happy New Year, I bid adieu. "Camilla." Bruceton Mills, "W. Va.. Jan. 10. "CAUSES OF FAILURE.'' Many of Them Acrnuntrd far by Ltiu?1iing Mturiel." Dear Howard Frikn'ds I have come agaiu, but I did not expect to come so soon. I found the parlor so pleasant this dreary day I could not resist the temptation. Thanks to thoso who give a welcoming to the new members. I hope to be of some us.9 to those kind friends of the II. L. C. I will 6ay a few words. It is an important subject, but may not interest all. A person cannot always satisfy everybody with the same thing. I will commenco for fear my letter will grow too long. "The Causes of Failure" will suit my purpose this time. Hardly anything is more fatal to euccess than a desire to becoaio suddenly rich. A business man now counts his wealth by the thousands, but he sees a grand chance to speculate. This is a little risky, of course, but then the old familiar adage: "Never venture, never have." I admit 1 may lose, but then all men are subject to loss in all business, but I am reasonably sure of gaining an immense amount. Why, what would folks think, I would be a millionaire. I would do so and so. Thus he indulges in this sort of reasoning, goes into a business of which he knows nothing and loses all. Why wouldn't lie? Men who have made a study of that business for years, and who have amassed a fortune in it are daily becoming bankrupt. What an idiot a man is making of himself when he leaves a calling in which he has been eminently successful to embark in a calling which is at best uncertain, and of which be knows nothing. Once for all, let me admonish you. If you would eucceed never enter outside operations, especially if they be of a speculative nature. Dr. Franklin said: "It is not our own eyes, but other people's that riiin us," It has been said thht the merchant who lived on SÖ0O a vear, fifty years ago now requires five thousand. Select a calling, and if you stick to it, your calling w ill stick to you. Extravagance of living is another prolific cause of bankruptcy. A man imagines that by hiring a horse and driving in the park ho will show people that he is as good as his neighbors. Dr. Adam Clark says: "The old adage about too many irons in the fire conveys an abominable lie. Kep them all agoing poker, tongs and all." But Dr. Clark seems to forget that the most of the people who trv to follow bis advice either burn their lingers or find their irons oc-ling faster than they can use them. We can not all b Clarks if we try. and to follow this method the most of us will fail; but we can by following one line of procedure, at last bring success. A preacher will occuDy one hour in preaching a twenty-five minute discourse and then complain because the people are not satisfied or interested in his sermons. We do not justify Sabbath-breaking, nor a lack of religious interest, but the preacher who is unwilling to take any responsibility upon himself for such a state of things Is lacking somewhere. We sneak of the clergyman simply as an illustration of our idea in this matter. The same rules apply our idea in the lawyer. merchant or physician, the mechanic, artist or laborer. If I were a day laborer building a stone wall I'd study my work and DUih it io vigorously that I would

A recent paper says that nine-tenths of our younsr lawyer fail from lack of btudy. Another frequent cause of failure is a neglect of one's business. Then there are the billiard and pool.

Friends Having formed a resolution to be more faithful to my duties as a member of our club, and thinking now was the most favorable time to begin keeping that resolution I thought I would write a short article on "Which Is the Happier, the Married or Unmarried State." This is an important question, especially to us young gentlemen who are using our best endeavors to induce Borne young lady to believe that the former is by far the happier. We are naturally anxious that that that side of the Question should be shown in as favorable a light us possible. The answer to the question depends almost wholly upon the inducpmcnis that caused the marriage. If either or both marry simply to better their social or pecuniary situation; if the match is a business and not a love match, then each would have been a thousand times better oil if they had never met. Every human being has faults. None are perfect, and if a person does not love the one with whom he spends the greater part of his time he will greatlv macnify her other faults. Kvery little mistake will be exaggerated and remembered .long after good deeds are forgotten. Every little difference will furnish a pretext for a family quarrel. There will be no joy, no pleasure when they dwell, but their lives will be one continued round of bickering, quarreling and faultfindirg. Surely the unmarried lifo would have been much happier for them. But if there ever is a paradise on earth, it is in the home when iove is the queen that sways, with sweet and gentle power the hearts of all its members. ' O what a wonierful power lore exerts over the hearts of man! It is love that makes the coward brave; the weak strong; the vicious gentle; the homely renned; and the beautiful to shine with a radient and dazzling loveliness unequaled save in heaven. The henrt wherein love hath entered hath a grander and nobler conception of all that is grand and beautiful that it ever bad before. Wisdom may make a man famous, riches may make him powerful, but love alone can make Children Cry for

him truly happy. What can give a man more joy or happiness when worn out by the toils and cares of life, when worried by business, when hurt and discouraged by tho coldneps and indifference of friends, when disheartened by the failure of some.long-cherhdied plan than to think that when the day is done lie can return home and be welcomed by the pleasant emila and sweet kiss of the one who is, to him, the fairest, sweetest woman on earth? O, how pleasant it is to think that there is one dear heart who will make his joy sweeter by sharing it, and alleviate hia sorrows by sympathy. O, how it lightens his toil to know that there is one who appreciates hiseorts, and who is doing everything in her power to make his home bright, cheerful and happy. Love is the power that causes us to forgive and forget a wrone as soon ns it is perpetrated and remember a good deed forever. The home where love ruleth, be it a hovel or a palace, a tent or a cottage; be its inmates rich or poor, high or low, learned or unlearned, will bo a home of joy, jund peace and bliss an earthly heaven.

Keaaona Why lie I'nta Ills Faith In tha It!lle. II. L. C. Friends "Evening Star" eays I cannot prove my affirmation, theorize as I may, that the longevity of a thing is not a proof that it is right Now I grant that you are right to a certain extent, but when a thing has been approved of as long as the bible and still continues to be through all the attempts that have been made to destroy it, and is only made the brighter by the light of science, is it not a pretty strong proct that it is true? Well, you and "Frank" made mo out so very ignorant because my grandfather and my father believed in the inspiration of the bible, and 1 was taught to believe it, that . it put me to studying and reading some, and I will give a hint as to some of the things I have found out. I discovered that the canon of the bible was eo carefully and so many times copied that, according to cyclopedias, we have it about pure; that tho New Testament, according to learned men, was not decided by any man or men, at any given time or place, by a decreu as a vote is passed. It was tlie univeraal opinion of Christians, or the church. The church of Laodocia, I suppose, formally voted what books should bo .read in provinces under its authority. TKe canon Lad already been substantially fixed '.VM ears. It is said to have been :'.t A. I), that tho council of Carthago doted the canon, but this is declared by some to have been only a formal declaration of existing beliefs. "Frank," is it physical geography I will have to study before I can eee that tho second chapter of (ieiifsis was not inspired? If so, I used to be tolerably good in that study, but have forgotten much. I?ut let me ask you sorne questions: Considering the belief of the ancients, and their lalse science that was held when the bible was compiled, what kept the writers of the bible from these errors, which many scientific men of today claim? Tlie Egy Titians taught that men were originated from the elime of the river Nile, and as Mofcs was educated among the Egyptian;?, why did h9 did he not tfach as they, instead of agreeing with modern seit mists that there is no material in men different from the earth Mien. ii. 7). "Though the bible often speaks of di.-eapes and remedy, yet gross errors of anatomy, physiology and pathology, as formerly taught nowwhero apprar upon it pagfH. Take for instance astronomy; the modern discoveries prove the astronomy of llabylon, Assyria, India, Greeks and Kornaus, to be mostly wrong, but not so with the bibie. Some of the ancient astronomers asserted the number of stars to bo no more than a thousand. How did it happen Iohc-s hinted thwero innumerable? ((Jene.-d.-i xv, 5.) Why, too. did Job not propose serpents, elephant or tortoises for the earth's foundation, instead of taying that "God hangeth the earth upon nothing?" How. 1 ask, did tho bibie, instead of acreeine with the crude science of the times in whic h it was compiled, in moat esses aree with more advanced science, ifthone men who wrote it were not inspired by a higher power? Those mistaKea you referred me to "Frank" were not so jrlanng, nor are they so very material ; that there may be a few mistakes in transcribing and translating I do not deny, but I think they affect the real meaning very little. Those questions are only a few that can be asked in regard to the correct statements of the bible in regard to science, though it is not a book treating on science, yet it proves that the author of science and the bible are one, for the disagreements that have been noticed have generally been man's mistake, iiut the main teaching of the bible is religion and morality, all good laws are founded on the bible, all orationa thus far have prospered or degenerated, just in proportion as they embraced and lived the teachings of the bible. Take away the inspiration and truth of the bible and you leave man a wandering. uncerta:u beintr. Man's three special endowments ahove the brute creations written language, faith and conscience. Without written language he cannot rise above barbarism ; his conscience is moved by his faith. The teachings of men can effect the conscience but little, but when man believes that it comes from God it has a power that affects his sense of right and wrong. Thus the bible is the only book that sets forth the purity and power of God, and that could be known only as God revealed it to man, and the new testament gives the precept and example for man's happiness here and hereafter. I will now give a verae from Lyron, the great English poet, who was also a sceptic, Within this awful rolume lies. The mystery of ruyst.ries.

A cousin, uncle and a denr grandpa to try I the realms of another world have gone. ; Frank, may I ask how the baby is? Take good care of him, for the grip is raging. If ho has a cold I would advise you to melt one half teacup of goose grease and let him drink it, and roast one or two goodsized onions and give the juice to him after the irooee crease before gointr to bed. My sympathy for t he friends of our ' Pitcher's Cactorla.

Although almost all are strangers to me, I hope we will become friends after we are together a while. I bear some one say they paw "Iowa Blush" and "Busy Kate." Why, yes, there they are. I hope they are well. I wonder what they are talking about? Oh, yes, I heard them say "farming." Well, farming is a very nice employment out there on the plains prarie wolves grow two in a hill and the cayotes thicker than the people are in the streets of a city on a show day. Well, all the same they can raise corn out there. As I was going West I stopped at a farm house to get feed for my team. The family was composed of four persons, Mr. Jones and wife and two sons. John and James. Mr. Jones eaid to the boys: "We will get this man's team an ear of corn." When they came from the pile, they did not crib thoir corn then as they do now, the boys were carrying one end on a handspike and Mr. Jones was carrying the other end. They put one end up against the fence, and when the horses were through they carried it back to tho pde with the loss of but a few grains. So you may know that farming isn't a failure out there. Well, now, about the oats. They compare reasonably well with corn. A man can haul from twenty to thirty grains at a load, weighing out fifty or sixty bushels. I would like to tell you about the stock that is raised, but will not this time, for fear you will all want to go West before epring. I would like to see letters from "Aunt 8ue," "lone Biy" and others of the West, for I think they will agree with me. Pilorim." South English, Ia., Jan. 8. ft' otic to Member.

there is little or no rubbing. ' Use Pcarline, and rest from your labor;

43 I AM ES PVLE. New York. Beauty often depends on plumpness; so does comfort; so does health. If you get thin, there is something wrong, though you may feel no sign of it. Thinness itself is a sign; sometimes the first sign ; sometimes not. The way to get back plumpness is by carefui living, which sometimes includes the use of Scott's Emulsion of cod-liver oil. Let us send you free a little book which throws much light on all these subjects. Scott & Downe, Chenisii, 131 South 5th Aveaaa, New York.
