lUjoice in the downfall of a man
who has done much to build up your
town.
Refuse to unite in any scenic for the
betterment of the material interest of
the people.
If you are a merchant don't adver

some peddler that may come around,
and use it.
Tell your jnerehanl that you can
buy goods cheaper in some other town
and charge them with extortion.
If a stranger visits your town, tell
him every thing is overdone and pro 1

Tell this to yur neighbors, aud tell

PLAIN LIVING AND HIGH THINKING.
On How Mneh or How Little Minister*
Dived 150 Year* Ago.
Wo have heard a great deal about
plain living and high thinking, with
illustrations from men who had
hardly the wherewithal to keep soul
and body together,hut who, in spite
of that, liavo written books that have
loft their impress not only upon
thoir own time, hut upon after gen
erations. We are a little suspicious
of suoh stories, lest they should ho
quoted to justify the niggardliness
of those who “receive of the gospel”
in providing for the wants of those
who preach the gospel. But tbo fol
lowing instanoo is too remarkable to
bo overlooked, and we givo it to our
readers, sinoo wo can vouch for its
accuracy, having examined tho rec
ord only Saturday last.
Jonathan Edwards is tho greatest
theologian ’ * thia,Gountr> has ev
er proctaoea. Robert Hall, tlio fa
mous English preacher, usod to do
vour his books with suoh amaze
ment at tho power of reasoning they
showed that ho exclnimod, “Ed
wards is tho groatost”—perhaps he
meant B< ’ ly in tho field of philo
sophical and thcclcigioal speculation
—“of tho sons of men.” Yet this
groat man was sotllod in a country
parish In Northampton, whore tho
peoplo, who could not appreciate his
greatness, fairly drove him away,
after which, as if lie would find a
lodge in some vast wilderness, he
wont over tho mountains and took
refuge at Stookbridge, on the banks
of the Housatonio, where thero was
a mission to tho Indians, with a fow
settlers from eastern Massachusetts,
and the records tc'l us that a moot
ing of the town (not of tho church,
for in those days tlioro was but one
church, whioli was established by
law, and the town was to provide
for its support! hold on Feb. 22, 1750
(when, perhaps, down in old Vir
ginia, George Washington was eole
brating his eighteenth birthday), it
was voted that “in case Rov. Jona
than Edwards should settle with
them in tho work of tho ministry”
lie should reoeive tho sum of £0 15s.
4d. per year—about $35. It is com
forting to know that ho was assured
in the contract that it should ho
“lawful money,”
When I road this, I confess I could
hardly believe it; yet no rubbing of
oyos or of spectacles could change
tho iiguros. There they stand as
they bavo stood for 118 years, for
tho benefit of whosoever may have
a ouriosity to read them. The
amount seems indeed incredibly
small, and perhaps was supplement
ed by a contribution from the Eng
lish Booioty For the Propagation of
the Gospel In Foreign Parts. But so
far uh tho reoord goes that was tho
salary, and tho whole salary, so far
ns it was paid in money. But with
this thero was also a provision for
keeping tho minister warm. If tho
peoplo could not supply much to
stimulate him inwardly, they would
at least koep tho blood from freez
ing in his veins by keeping tho iiro
burning on his hearthstone. And ac
cordingly, with this munificent sala
ry, it was voted also that ho should
have 100 sloigliloads of firewood, of
which tho Indians were to furnish
80 and the white settlers 20, which
they were to chop in tho woods and
draw on sleds to his dwelling house.
With this very modest supply of
that which could buy food and cloth
ing, yet with the iiro burning bright
ly on his hearth, Jonathan Edwards
wrote books that will he immortal
in tho history of his country. Plain
living and high thinking indeed.—
Henry M. Field in New York Evan
gelist.
When Flying Machines Work.
“Sooner or later the inventive gen
ius of Professor Langley or of Max
im will solve tho flying maohino
problem and givo us aerial naviga
tion,” said Dr. Henry D. Zollars of
Boston. ‘‘But. tho ohunoes are tbrt
oven if they suooeed in their efforts
only a portion of mankind will caro
to make excursions through tho up
per atmosphere. I have no idea that
the flying habit would become uni
versal.
“Look at the bicyclo, for in
stance. That it is the greatest fad
of modern times everybody will ad
mit, and yet there are hundreds of
thousands of men'and women who
will never mount a wheel. Tho time
will never come when all the popu
lation will take to oyoling. Bo it is
that oven if a first rata flying device
is perfected there will bo millions
of people who will fail to use it.
But I think that wo shall see people
sailing through the air in tho next
decade, for 1 have great taith in the
practicability of tho idea and in tho
men who are striving for its devel
opment. ” —Washington Post.
A Thankful Soul.
Perry Patottic—The Lord is purty
good to tho human race, oven,you
and me.
Wayworn Watson —I’d liko fer to
know how?

so we kin swaller our beer down.

of swallerin up, like the horse does
