1 Who Are the Heathen?
In various sections of this more or

less humorous world are communities

that are facetionsly called “heathen.”
These communities‘are found in por-
tions of the globe that have not as yet
been fully brought under the dominion
of what is 'called, for want of a better
nomenclature, Christian civilization.
Thesevparticular portionsof the world
are embraced more exclusively in Africa
and India, and adventurous travelers
and explorers first opened them up to
the eye of the general world.

The people inhabiting these parti-
cular sections and making up these
particular, communities are classed as
savages, in that they do not wear much
clothing. pxy strict attention to their
own business, and, with very few
lapses, follow the Golden Rule in their
dealings with others. They are, for
the most part, honest, brave, hospit-
able, chaste, and they worship a god as
we do, altogether, perhaps, with less
formality and in a more direct way.
They do not have to look their doors
when absent from home, or at night,
because no thieves are in their midst,
and they are really entirely ignorant of
suchathing as theft. They have ’no
courts, ofiicers of the law, juls or poor
houses; neither have they any saloons,
because drunkenness 13 considered by
them as a niostheinous' sin". They are
brave with a true. bravery, warring
only with‘men, and then only in self-
defense. They are 'hOspitable, will
divide their last crust with .,a suffering
stranger, and what am has in the way
of food the others are welcome ' to, so
long as it Iasts.

These people worship a supreme be-
ing just as we do, but in a different way,

‘ perhaps—in the sun. fire, clouds, thun-

der, anything that represents some-
thing beyond their centre].
In our own‘ world—the civilized

world—where Christians dwell; in all

our large cities, there are hundreds
and thousands of people facetiously
called Christians, who are as vile as
Sodom or Gomorrha. 1 Among these
people the name of God is rarely heard,
save as an oath, and for these peeple
are built the huge prisons and jiIIS that
dot the land. Many of the people were
conceived in sin‘and brought up in in-
iquity. Crime is second nature to them;
l‘icentiousness a virtue; dissipation a
pleasure and drunkenness heaven.

They are honest merely in their dis-
honesty, believing it their duty to rob
any person who may have anything to
be robbed of, and they are ever willing
to dabble their hands in human blood
either for profit or revenge. They are
brave only in defying all law, all honor
and aIIJustice. They are chaste only
in an abstinence from everything that
partakes of virtue.

They herd together like cattle, but
shame cattle in their way of living.
They are beasts, with all the vices but
none of the virtues of animal life.
They worship nothing in heaven above
or on earth below, and, to the very

-shadow of a thousand churches, rarely

have the Gospel preached unto them.
They are dying in sin and vice and

degradation almost indescribable, and

yet they are right here at our very
doors.
In view of these facts—and they are

undisputed facts—and in view of the

fact that immense sums are collected

every year for mission work, most of

which goes abroad, and in view of the
fact that this demand becomes louder
and more importunate every year, is it
altogether impertinent to inquire;
“Who are theheathen? ”

 

Monday’s Electiorfi.‘ “WM,

An unusual interest has been thrown
into our two local elections, because of
unusual elements, having been intro-
duced‘into both Town and City. It is
to be said of our Town dandidates, on
both tickets, that the names embrace
citizens above reproach and entirely

_ placing them in nomination.

4» the best prospects of success.

‘ envelope booth, at the polls on election

worthy of the support, of the parties 1

The consolidation of our public
schools, is a question that ought to elicit
more ardent support than it seems to
have done. It is greatly to be hoped
that the measure may be carried and
as nearly fifty of our ladies have quali-
fied to vote on the question,and woman’ s
instincts are usually unerring, there is
reasonable hape of its shccess.

The subject of intensest interest, is
to be on the license qiestion. The
forces for and against, are strongly
marshalled and the struggle is to be
fiercely waged, with the l'eSllIIl in doubt.
Both sides of the issue have been dis-
cussed * with zeal, ability and good-
tempered fairness and only after a
counting of the ballots can the result
be positively known.

The two City tickets embrace a high-
er grade of candidates than are usually
found willing to serve the public with
noother hope of reward, than the ap-
proval of the candidate’s own con?
science. '

As with the Town ticket, so with the
City, the Repuclican nominees have

Two Frightened Boys.

Seventy-five years ago W. 0. How
ells was an Ohio boy a dozen years
old, and had often to go on, horseback
to a distant grist mill to get the fam-
ily wheat ground. The weather was
fine, he says, the roads good, and
along the way were plenty of apples
and nuts, so that such expeditions
were almost in the nature of picnics.
By and by the cold weather came on.

I was often benighted in getting
home, when I had to run the gaunt-
let of various terrors—a graveyard or
two, with stories of ghosts and gob-
lins fresh in my memory, besides a
story, vouched for by several big
boys, that a panther had been heard
screeching in the woods and laurel
thickets. ~

One night my brother Tom and I
had been to town together, riding dou-
ble on Paddy. When we reached the
top of Sugar Hill we had to get off
and walk down, as it was too steep
for both to ride down in the dark, and
We were in danger of slipping over
the horse’s head.

It was a frosty autumn night, and
the saddle had got very cold while
we were off, so that neither of us
,wanted to sit on it, preferring the
horse’s warm back} 9 drew Paddy
up by a big log _ a. .we could just
find in the starlig , and instead of
getting upon him—while standing on
the log—we opened an argument as
to which should 1ide behind.

The panther story was usually pres-
ent with us, but we had forgotten it
just then, and we grew pretty loud
in our dispute, when, as Burns says,
something “gat up and gie us a
croon,” or, more properly, a. yell, not
very far from us. ‘

It was an owl, as I now suppose,
but then'it was a panther. The-ar-
gument dropped in a second. Tom
vaulted into the saddle as the place
of safety, and I took 'the warm seat
behind, with all the danger of an ad-
ditional passenger uninvitedlj’

Young Wife—“Why; dear, you were
the stroke oar at colege, weren’t
you?”

.Young Husband—“Yes, love.”

“And a prominent member of the
gymnastic class?” '

“I was the leader.”

.“And quite a hand at all athletic
exercises?” ‘

“Quite a hand? My gracious! I
was the champion walker, the best
runner, (the head man at lifting heavy
weights, and as for carrying—why, I
could shoulder a barrel of flour and”

“Well, love, just please cany the
‘baby for a couple of hours. I’m
tired.”
