Is it not too common among ns when wo think of heaven to think only of its joys and its pleasures '( AV hen ; tho uncon verted think of it, thoy think only its loveliness o|id its splen dor, its rest and (Vt's calm, its rivers of pleasure1 vnd its fui ness of joy.

One reason why o believer longs so much for fijjn 'en is, that it is ii place of holim^oii When iii this present world, he feels not only tho burden of pain and fear and anguish, he feels still more, and above all, the load of sin. "We that aro in this taber nacle do groan, being burden ed;" and, the part of our bur den is this, that stn is still cleav ing us. One chief reason lead ing the believer to long so much for tho mansions of light is that thero, not only sorrow and sigh ing, but all sin and pollution pass away. Ile hopes not only for an end to all his cares and privations, not only for a bless edness such as he hath never been permitted toen joy on earth; he hopes that being freed from nil evil dispositions and tho sins which beset him, he shall bo holy as the angels are holy.-Dr. MvCosh. m ii wi MC. Capital is wealth engaged in trade and industry. To tax cap ital is to put a burden on trado and to check industry. Our leg islators feel this, and therefore exempt certain kinds of capital from taxation. But why not apt on the principle throughout ? Otherwise, you are constantly running into ono inconsistency whilst trying to steer clear of another. A tux on capital is ono of thoso ''indirect" taxes which do not "stay put," but uro usually shifted. For instance, tho tax on n mei chant's stock of goods is passed on by the merchant to (ho buyer ?nd consumer of the goods,'in the shape of higher prices. Biit a (ax on land val ues stays where it is put. Beginning with tho old Ho mans and ending with tho United Stales, nil experience has shown the futility of trying to reach personal property oven approx imately by taxation. Tho rack und scourge of the Romans were as ineffectual as tho listing and swearing ii n d other devices which have been so fully tried of late years in tlio United States. .-??.??

Olovohmd ft Sensational President, ft Man Who ProBUinably Dolightu In Making ?uvprisos -tho Day of Party "W orshtp Passing Away-Wow Mon, Now Measures. The Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr.'s ser mon in Association Hall yesterday, was preceded by a reviowiug ot the new administration aboutto bo inaugu rated mid at Washington, Mr. Dixon said : '.We stand again upon tho threshold of a chango of administration in our National Governemnt. Thcso aro the landmarks found at regular intervals making our National history. Wo bavo no such thing as a Govormentnl crisis. Our Government is astronomi cal. It is wound .ip to run four years. It runs four yoors. "Tho formalities of au adraiuistra' timi chango impress tho oyo with dra matic importance. In reality they aro unimportant. Tho real chatgo occur red timo before ia tho minds of tho sovereign people. Tho officeholder in America is merely a servant carrying out bis master's orders. There is only ono king among us-tho citizen king. Tho officeholder is always and only n Bcrvant, from thc street eleanor to tho chief of polico, and from tho justico of | tho ponce to thc Pit ?iden I of tho Re public. "With our Presidcnttho people bavo lodged largo po?er?. Aud they aro sorely abused. Thc Presidential chair bas sometimes transformed a second rato politician into a dignified and pa triotic statesman for tho tim?. "Many of our Presidcuts have turn ed from tho potty demands of party cliques aud factions and tho noblest iudopendont aoliou in a consoionlious effort to represent tho wholo people, whoso will they per>0i.ily. , ? -?'resident" H'.irVisinf'hV tuc oioso ot bis vigorous administration has givon ii? a striking example of his broader, nobler view in appointing ns Supremo Court Judge a man opposed to bis own party in politics. General Harrison in that act showed himself to ho Pres idcut of tho United States of Aniciica, representing 60,000,000 of pcoplo-not merely tho figurehead of a political machine. Tho machino has bowled most vociferously. Let ithowl. Hon est and patriotic citizenship rejoices and writes Harrison's na mo a lino higher on thc roll of true fame. "In making up bis cabinet for the new Administration Mr. Cleveland has treated us lo a genuine sensation in .politics. Thc fact is Mr. Cleveland is a very sensational officer-bo it said to his honor. Thc little machine tinkers can never predict what ho will do next. Mr. Tilden said of him that ho was the boldest politician bc had ever known. Ho certainly is a unique forco in mod ern Am?nent! politics. Ile thinks for bimst If. Ho carries out the will of the people according lo Iiis owu conception of that will-not according to tho die? tates of a faction. Ho has appointed Judgo Gresham, an independent Re publican, Secretory of State. "To say that this took the breath away from tho various little machines would bo to mildly express it. Such acts on tho part of a retiring President and on incoming ono of tho opposite party aro indications of the dawn of a now day in Amoricau politics. Tho doy of parly worship is passing away. Thc day of men and principles is once more returning. Tho party fetich has been tho power that during tho pi?iit generation has well-nigh throttled true statesmanship. Mr. Cleveland begins his work well. Ho has little to bind him to partisan pig politics. The better clement of our citizenship look with hope and faith to his administra tion. "Thc next tour years will bo ovent ful in tho history of our nation. In these four years will bo formed tho lines of real battle along which tho hosts ol freeman nrc to fight in tho next gene, ration. Traditions, memories and ghosts must go to tho rear. New men and now measures for a new generation and a new world I Tho coming twentieth century holds its own problems. Tho children of tho century must sottlo thom. With all itu dreams 'imposai? bio' propositions, I say again tho new People's purfcy bas sounded tho battle cry for tho next gonoratiou. "Lot tho old partios shut their eyes to tho. foot if tboy will. It ls aniong tho possibilities that this party of tho masses as agaiust tho classes will eloct tho uoxt President. The riso of this party duriuij: tho past four years to tho poll of a mill Jon votes was a mirical in Amoricnu politics. If tbo old parties do not heed some ol its demauds, their doothkiiell will bo sounded within tho lifo of tho incoming Administration. Lot no young man bo blinded by n display of power in tho passing moment. Tho powor that rules to day may be thrust into obliyion to-morrow. Tho Tammany that rules supremo to-day may bo a sticking memory within a decade. Tho now administration may fall at thc encl of four years never to riso again. Truth and right nlouo en duro forever!" -- .<r*>? Tho Reform bf ?ie Tu ii ff. Tho idea seems to be gaining ground in cot tain quart ors that owing to tho enormous expense of pensions it will bo impossible for tho Democrats to roduco tho Tar li; and that they uro now ot? tho ovo of ahnndoning tho-attempt, to cn gogo in u free Gght over tho coinage question. Wo know of no good ground for such ! nu opinion. Tho Democrats will cor I toiiily pitt through thoir Ta ri if Reform bill he (oro thoy toko up ary issuo on whicli a party division ?3 possible. Any other courso would ho to foolish that tho putty adopting it would invito de feat. Tho Democrats will not do it. They aie as determined now us they were lust your that tho duties of tho McKinley bill shall bo lowered to a strictly revouuo basis. This moans, of oourso, that they aro determined to make a tariff that will give the largest posnblo rovonuo by encouraging tho largest possible trade. It is true that tho cxponsc of pan-* siotis is now enormous, but tho moans of raising tho money lo mcot tho ex penso involves n question that cnn host' bo settled without regard,to tho ques tion of reducing tho tariff duties. It' ll is found that moro nioiiov must l o r?inO?i iii moot tlio moroasing oxpeuo-s of pensions, ibero will bo two poifcctly practicable mothods of raising it-by inoiousing tho whisky tax or by impos* ing a tax oh incomes. It may lo that one or both of theso taxes will hocomo necessary, but it is hoped that it will bo possible to check tho expenditure for pitisiotis beforo it gols much beyond tho present unparalleled figures. Tho income tax is n less evil than tho prohibitivo tarilf tax, and if it should bceomo necessary to levy it lo pay pen ions the Dcmooratio party would not hesitate to advocate tho levy. There has not boen tho least chango m Do mueva t ie intentions, Tho Mc Kinley tai iff will bo reduocd until there is not n prohibitivo tax left in it.-St. Louis Republic. -? <o* That mystic powor which aways mon's hearts, wbother they will or not-how sweet and yet how strong its influence 1 And how thankful wo should bo to our Heavenly Father for this precious gift; not for that only which emanates from costly instru ments, but for that also which, though humble, is no less sweot. From each rock and treo by the roadside como tho songs of birds, thrilling our hearts with exquisito joy. Ah, how sweot aro tho happy woodland birds I And tho human voice-what is sweotor, purer than tho joy of some young spirit find ing vont in musical sounds? Thanks to tho Divino Master for implanting in our hearts this lovo for wiusio. What other gift could Ho have conferred upon us that would add to our happiness as this does? Oh, music, thy power ia indoed a mystic one I When wo are weary and sore oppressod, thy voico can roll away tho burden ; when our wholo being is swayed by uncon trollable passion, thou canst calm tho troubled waters, and when tho spirit of good scorns to huvo flown from us, thou canst influence us to return to his guidance.; Oh, music, thou art indeed a blessing I With thy help wo can ascond to hoightsofjoy before no'or droamed of, can cora tort the siok, oheor tho last momonts of tho dy ing, and holp tho lost wondorer baok to tho fold.
