The Spirit of Kindness.

.Speaking of kindness, one who has given the subject careful thought says that it 5s more than amiability, that it implies thoughttulness and heart cultuie Many christian people are brusque and severe without thought that they cannot wrong, but they have failed bo cultivate the most beautitul grace of kindness. It is not enough to try not to be un kind, for unless one seeks to be kind lie has fallen short of duty. No one can be as good as he should be with, out striving to cultivate kindness of spirit. "Chanty suffereth long and is kind. Kindness d'sarms prejudice and hate aud awakens confl lence, overcomes evil with good. Kindness makes the gloomy smile, sweetens bitter thoughts, strengthens the faint and leads the sinful from the paths of sin. Of all things in life which we may regret, kindness is one that causes no repentance, but in re,lr®spect there is no more bitter pang than remembrance of kind things we might or should have sa:d. but left unsaid, with deeds undone.

a good man's life,

His little, nameless un remembered acts of kindness and of love, Tjlf In all departments of life, church vfsand home, kindness is a lubricant which makes the hardest task easy and the heaviest burden light,

There is as much difference in li Waywetown people as any body else

and

especially so when it relates to some of our young ladies whose "diff erence" is over some long, lank, lean, mullet-headed boy who enjoys the "difference" and tickles, each girl under the chin to hear tuein growl at each other..

It Pleased Little Vawcob. A't a Michigan town the railroad company employs an agent- who has lost fiis pa'Iate, and consequently he •can tatts very plainly, but he does the best he can, A few days ago a •atotit tier man wotnan Sending a little boy by the hand, approached the official and asked: Vhat dime does •der drain go pi Kalamazoo oudt?"

The depot master locked down at "her, twisted his face and replied, Hat

!hTee

o'hoek. Ho and hit down

hare han Hi'll hall you when hits bteaay.*' •''The woman took ti seat over in a far corner of ..the depot. After a period of ten minutes she again approached the official 'and asked her former question. 'Hat hree o'hoek, Hi hoi hou," he exclaimed. "Ho an' hit lioun hare han Hi'll bail! hou when hits toreadj\" r*

Again 'did the woiftan seeka^seaK And after anotlier fifteen minutes had ipassed-slie approached the caller of trains?, third time and again asked that question, "Vhat dime does der train go py Kalamazoo oudt?"

The depot master waxed wroth, and in the excitement of his anger he lost all control of that vocal organ of his. He cried, -'Hat hree o'hoek, hree o'hoek, hree o'hockJlitHi liol

'aimt

hou at tiree o'hoek a hozen himes. Hree o'hoek. han't hou unerhand?

r^And,

increasing the pressure of

her hand on that ot the child, the old lady replied, calmly: "Vhy. of course I understands, but little Yawcob likes to hear you say it yet."

The Two Kinds of Self-Denial lAJJ life is a system of self-denial. The wicked man denies himself as much as the most conscientious Christian. The difference is in the kinds of things toward which the self-denial is applied, Daniel denied himself the wine and highly seasoned meats of the king's court in order that he might keep his head clear and his body strong and vigorous. Belshazzar. on the other hand, denied himself a clear head in order that he might have the present a a could not gtet along without |it,?Ver and reverenjc Worship toward Goay but he cq?rfld get, along without

do without* his s^iees, but he could do wUhotot the prayer-meeting. The difference in destiny of the two men. the one coming to old age in honor and nobilitj-, and the other going down in a drunken revel, was the logical outcome of the several paths of self-denial they had been pursuing from their vouth.

What is Success. T,

What is succes? Ask that qu ss tion of.a hundred dieffrent men, nd they will give ga hundred different answers. One man will say, "Success is $1,000,000 another will sav, "Success is world-wide publicity another will say, "Success is gaining that which you started for," But as it is a free country 1 give my own definition, and say, "Success is fulfilling the particular mission upon whicli you are sent whether to write a constitution or invent a new style of wheelbarrow or take care of a sick child Do what God calls you to do, and jou are a success, whether you leave Sl j&OO^ftOO at death or are buried at public expense whether it takes 15 pages of an encyclopedia to tell'the wonderful things you have done or your name is never printed but or ce and that is in the death column.—Ex.

The Coming-Year,

The

new year can 6c likened unto

a biankbook of 365 pages, which has been in our hands. What will the book coi tain at the eud of the year? Some pages will be stained with tears. Some will be crumpled as if clutched in despair. Some will contain words of hale and anger, which will burn the page whereon they are written. Other pages will be filled with the record of "something accomplished, something done." which has ''earned a night's repose." There will be the record of battles fought, and at the end of the year we can turn back and see we jhave conquered,when have lost, There will be "written upon these pages in letters of gold an account of the self sacrifices, loves and faithful devotions.—Selected.

The Party Organ at Crawfordsville* A special from Crawiordsville on Monday to the Indianapolis News, says: The Democratic •central committee of M-otttgotoery county is still wrestling with the question of a party organ, and has now appointed a sub committee of seven to make final dispositign of the matter. The proprietor of the Argus News was offered the indorsement if he would change the name of his paper to the Democrat and place its policy under the 'direction "oi the committee. This was refused, and the committee is Wow 'iigaln attempting to effect a consolidation of the Review and Star. It is not improbable that the Review wi'il be purchased by a fctock coSfc pany, which wid begin the publica tion of a da*ly isstte supported by the Nndorgettiettt of the central committee.

7J'~ A Good Suggestion. The Crawfordsville papers ought to turn over a new leaf with the new year in the matter of writing up di vorce suits. A divorce suit is about as serious a matter as can concern a man or woman, and is only brought as a last refcoi't. The necessity and unavoidable publicity of the thing is trying enough to the feelings of the parties, without having a smart reporter dish it up in Bowery style» under the impression that he W saying something funny. We know that the papers would have many more warm friends If they would spare the feelings of the parties to such suits, and refrain from the coarse and cruel comments that are not appreciated by the refined among their readers,—Wavelaud Independent,^
