The Golden Side. There is many a rest in the road of life, If we would only top to take it; And many a tone from the better land, If the querulous heart would make it. To the soul that is full of hope, And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth, The grass is green and the flowers are bright, Though the winter's storm prevaileth. Better hope, though the clouds hang low, And to keep the eyes still lifted For the sweet blue sky will soon peep through, When the ominous clouds are rifted. There was never a night without a day, Or an evening without a morning, And the darkest hour, as the proverb goes, Is the hour before the dawning -Charles Macltay. ♦ ¡

What might be. tf every one were kind and sweet, And every one were jolly If every heart with gladness beat, And none were melancholy If none should murmur or complain, And every one should labour In useful work, and each were fain To help and cheer his neighbour,— Then what a blessed world 'twould be, For you and me, just you and me And if, perhaps, we both should try That glorious time to hurry; If you and 1. just you and I, Should smile and never worry; If we should grow, just you and I, Kinder and sweeter hearted,— Perhaps in some near by-and-by That good time might get started Then what a bless6d world 'twould be, Tor you and me, just you and me 1

Wisely Sensitive. A healthy sensitiveness accepts the pain which tt must bear as a wholesome medicine, not dwelling •pos its bitter taste, nor upbraiding those wbo «aoae it—not regarding it as a permanent evil, but limply using it for self-improvement. At the same fams, it gladly welcomes all the pleasant tidicgs qrbicb are thus brought to knowledge. It is as keen to feel the good as the evil, and finds it in finch larger proportion. l-

Strength and Character. We mistake strong feelings tor strong character. Yoa must measure the strength of a man by the sower of the feelings he subdues, not by the power V those which subdue him. And hence composure is often the highest result of strength. Did we ■war see a man in anguish 6tand as if carved out ,of a solid rock mastering himself, or one bearing a kopeless daily trial remain silent and never tell the world what cankered his home peace ? This is strength. He who with strong passions remains thastee, he who, keenly sensitive, with many powers of indignation in him, can be provoked, and yet re- strain himself and forgive-these are the strong men, the spiritual heroes.

Youth and Enthusiasm. There is one thing for which we mnstlook to our young people, and that is enthusiasm. Youth is the period of fervour and hope, of warmth and glow. We must have these qualities in our work, how- eiver-they may manifest themselves. Enthusiasm dom not always leap in cascades; it is silent as a ieeo river. Not always does it burst in thunders It is quiet as noonday. Not always is it fiery as the volcano; it is tranquil as the sea. In looking to the yeung for this quality, I am only asking for what we recognise everywhere else No* one ^succeeds in this world unless he is in earnest. No man succeeds, however well he may be equipped, until his talents are set on fire. Brains are good but they are good for i^hing without powder and the igniting spark. TheEnglish governor of one of the provinces of India, com- menting upon his good fortune in getting out of the Country before the breaking out of the mutiny, ■aid '• I never could have fought well; for I never «ould make up my mind whether our conquest ot J:_ O insnired act, or a ffrca-t atrocity." And no man can fight well or work well unless he believes in his cause with all the ardour of a nobld enthusiasm. It is necessary to lift otir work from the routine ef the treadmill and make it a pleasure. An Emerson would say, It claps wings to the sides of all the solid lumber in the world." That which enlists the whole heart is never a drudgery. When we read that on one occasion the Spartans went to battle singing and the Persians driven by whips, it does not need the historian to tell us that the Spartans were victorious.. Enthusiasm will overcome obstacles and rise above discouragement. There is a certain kind of enthusiasm that is very easily dissipated. It does not last. It starts out to conquer the world, and is blown away by the first breath of opposition. But the genuine article is only stimulated by that which kills the spurious, Where the plain plodder goes along the dusty road and halts before each obstruction, enthusiasm, like a winged god, 1 over. If takes no denial, it brooks no opposition, it is not cast down by reverses. Where doubt and hesitation stand before the tasks of God and say, « I can't! enthusiasm says' We must and will 1 and carries the day. On a certain occasion, Mane Antoinette asked her Prime Minister whether or not a project which she contemplated could be j accomplished. He replied, Madam, if impossible, it shall be done Enthusiasm is stimulated by lar^e tasks. Under the inspiration of a loving zeal one can accomplish what, in his cooler movements,1 ""0\11.1 be utterly impossible. When one is thoroughly aroused, and only then, does he work with every faculty, with every energy. The enthusiasm for which I plead ought to be in- spired by our views ofGod andotMan and of the final ontcom MARION D SHUTTER, D.D.

Saws, Sayings, and Super- stitions. mr PHILIP SIDNEY." The very small amount of leisure time which has fallt-n to my lot during the last fortnight in south D. von has been mainly given to conversing with reRidcms in my native parish, their ages running between 75 and 95 years. From their lips I have tried to get any quaint superstitions and bits of folk lore which they had heard in their younger days. Some of them I give my readers this week, and I should much like to learn whether there be any in Cardiganshire and neighbourhood with any similarity. If you eat a thorn taken trom your finger the wound caused by it will not fester. A pig killed a day or two before thejmoon is full will weigh heavier than if it bad beeng killed when the moon is waning. If the clock strike twelve Muring the recital Eof the Qulcunque vult," one of the congregation wil die during the year.

I The visit of a dancing bear is always followed by a tire in the town. If a dog bark three times before the front door, death soons enters it. If two persons wash their hands together in the same vessel, they will quarrel before the end of the day. A lad, who looked much younger than he really was, was said to be-" a great age for a pig, and not fat." A thin, emaciated youth was told he was A rum haporth to cut a pennorth out of, be vou."

A hard featured, cantankerous woman was described to me as having A face like a stone roller I A garbled account of an event Jwas summed as I" Arealljdialogue." If during an evening spiders should be heard making a sound somewhat resembling the tick of a clock it is a sign of severe illness or death in the family. If a cat sits with its back towards the fire it is a sign that cold weather is at hand. A man whoj praises himself lives by a bad neighbour." An old man beard the rain a crying in ttie air long before it came." Put a long, hairy caterpillar in a small bag, and wear it round your neck," it will charm away the whooping cough. A charm for a thorn in the flesh runs: In-the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, the prick of the tbornl do defy and with the blessing of God it shall not ache, nor smait, nor give any pain." Horses* manes which have become tangled dur- ing the night are believed, in some parts to be pixies' stirrups." To prevent fighting between two swarms of bees which have been united, you must sprinkle the bees with syrup (often scented with peppermint, &c ), and by the time they have cleaned one an. other from their stickiness all hostility will be for- gotten."

STEALING SPORTING PRIZES. In the dock at Kingston Police-court, on Satur- day, appeared a gentlemanly-looking man named Edmund Yates Eoglebach (twenty-five), described as having no occupation. He was charged with steal- ing a large number of sporting prizes, including thirty-six silver cups and a diamond brooch, together valued at E220, the property of Mr. Thomas Percy Hardwicke, the well-known athlete, of St. Andrew's-square, Surbiton. The articles were won ty Mr. Hardwicke at various competitions. A strong appeal was made to deal with the prisoner under the First Offenders' Act on account of his previous good character, but the chairman said it was too serious a case, and the bench imposed a fine of Lio or two months' imprisonment in default.

GALLANT RESCUES AT A FIRE. A fire which was attended with some very exciting scenes broke out at half-past seven o'clock on Saturday morning at 153, Kenumgton-road, S.fc. The property attacked was that of Mr. Blackburn, a surgeon. Mr. Blackburn, who is fifty-six years old, was awakened by a suffocating sensation, and found that hU bedroom was full of smoke. Open- ing his bedroom door, ho was met with a great burst of smoke, which nearly overcame him. He succeeded, however, in alarming his daughter, Miss Ellen Blackburn, and the two got on to the roof and shouted "Fire." At this time the surgery was blazing fiercely, and the flames were rapidly spreading all over the house. The escape from Renfrew-road was brought up, and, amid the cheers of the crowd which had assembled, the finemen brought Mr. Blackburn and his daughter pafely to the ground. Superintendent Wangford and District Officer Deacon, arriving immediately afterwards, directed the operations of the firemen in the task of extinction, but could not prevent the premises being very severely damagec. Aiiree eneers tor King Edwarc were proposed oy President Palma of Cub t on Saturday after he had driven the first spike of an extenwon of the Cuban Railway. It is an English line. BANK CLERK'S SUICIDB, A Mmarkable trag-edy has been enacted at Over- ,I rand Mansions, lints overlooking BatterMa Park. t half-put one in the morning Robert Armstrong £ vaos, a young bank clerk, aged twenty-two, was ouniio bed dying from a bullet wound in the lead, A considerable number of banknotes were scattered in one corner of the room. At UM inquest Ferdinand Evans, a 'bus conductor -aid brother of the deceased man, said his brother !<tft the employment of the bank in March last, since when he had been strange in his manner. The witness slept in the same room with him, but as he could not get in on Wednesday morning the door was burst open, and his brother was found lying on tiu* bed shot in the head. A revolver was by his Ride. His brother died about half-past three. Some t me ago, added the witnens, there was a robbery at the bank at which his brother was employed. He aitd another clerk were left alone to put notes in envelopes and then post the letters. Hia brotber placed £1,000 in his envelope, leaving it on the e iunter while he went to wash his hands. Then he registered the letter at the post-office. Next day, ttwever, a telegram was received from the addressee stating that the envelope had been delivered, but did not contain the notes. All that day hia brother was shut up in a room with detectives, but no charge was made against him. The actual thief waa afterwards discovered, and his brother con- tinued in the employ of the bank. A police-constable informed the jury that on searching the deceased man's room he found that one of the drawers had been turned out, and bank- notes to the value of iE420 were on the floor. The jury returned a verdict of suicide while temporarily insane.

A HEARTLESS SCAMP. Frederick Lane, twenty-seven, described as a bookmaker's clerk, made the acquaintance, over the counter of a Limehouse public-house, of Bertha Bell, a barn aid, whom he soon persuaded to leave her sit uatiou to marrv him. He borrowed her riz). | "to got. the t'xact size of the wedding-ring," also 26 611 and later on took her out "to aee their iiov. i',•»)(■ k» oping the change out of a half, gov, tin she paid the 'bus fares with on the grou:■■(.! that ho had no change then. Then by a rusa ho if I t hor in Hydp Park and never turned up aaij, Police inquiries shewed that he was a lnavticMl Ilan, and the judge, at Clerkenwell Sessions, sentenced him to four years' penal servitude.

A PATHETIC CASE. An inquest lia-f held at Gateshead touching the death of Thomas Scott, aged thirty-seven, whose corpse was found on the railway near Low Fell on 'ihu a lay. Scott was the engine-driver who two years a. o lost both logs in endeavouring to save a dog which had strayed on the line in front of an approaching exj ro>.K The event excited great s>mj^itJiy, Find £ 1,500 was subscribed for Scott, who also received trcm the North-Eastern Railway an t., horth at a fair salary. The late Queen Victoria vas amongst the subscribers to the fund. When found desd his little dog was euarding his remains. At the inquest it was elicited that a letter was lound on Scott's body indicating that domestic differences had led him to commit the rash act. The coroner said that Scott's charged life eousf quont on the accident had doubtloa* changed this temperament and rendered him ban to deal Wfth. Hence, unfortunate domestic differences. He had never come across a more pathetic set of circumstance s. The jury returned a verdict of suicide whilst temporarily insane.

At the County of London Sessions, Clerkenwell, on Saturday, before Mr. William Robert M'Connetl, K.C., William Taylor, Douglas Montague, Thomas Watson, and Charles Miles Surrendered to tlveir bail charged upon indictment with having kept a certain place for public music and dancing, witl.ow a licence from the London County Council, and with also keeping a disorderly house. AU pltade-I guilty. Mr. Bodkin said the prosecution was institute 1 by the CiM of Westminster against the defendnM' for keo No. 97, Oxford-street in such a. w;, as to at met disorderly people to the great discom- fort and annoyance of the persens livilig near. When Inspector Haver carried out the raid, he found one hundred and forty-three persons upon the prt mi ses —seventy wore men and seventy-three women. AI. most all ot the one hundred and forty-three tx-o) t« were in various stages of drunkenness. Dancing to.Jk place in tho club's ball-room during the time the promises were opened between midnight and four, five, or six o'clock in the morning. As many as two hundred men and women had visited the end. in one night. Tht, premises had a history since 1883.

Montague was bound over in his recognisances.

A FATAL MISTAKE. A case of accidental poisoning is reported from Fleetwood. It is stated that Mrs. Caroline Honny, an aged widow, who is in the habit of taking a bottle of stout every night, drank some carbolic acid which was in a stout bottle in the pantry by mistake. She complained that it burnt her lips and seemed flat. An emetic was given. but the woman died shertly afterwards.

Br Hor ton, the chairman of the Congregation .il Union, has declined the invitation to Principal Scott as head of the Lan«ashi f Manchester, as institution for the 1"t, ,n, ;¡.: (.1 Congregational ministers.

DEATH OF LORD PIRBRIGHT. Lord Pirbright, whose life had for days been hanging in the balance, died at an early hour on Friday morning. Better known as Baron Henry de Worms, he was born in London in 1840, the third son of Solomon Benedict de Worms, an hereditary Baron of the Austrian Empire, and he married Sarah, daughter of Sir Benjamin Samuel Phillips, who was head of the firm of Faudel Phillips and Co., and Lord Mayor of London. He was therefore, of course, the brother-in-law of Sir George Faudel Phillips, who was Lord Mayor of London in the late Queen's Jubilee year. Educated at King's College, London, Henry de Worms was called to the Bar at the Inner Temple in 1863, and joined the South Eastern Circuit. He was for many years an active member of the Jewish commanity, and was elected second President of the Anglo-Jewi-h Association, a position which he resigned in 1886 in consequence of some heated criticisms of bis public appearance in a church on the occasion of the marriage of his daughter. After other attempts to enter Parliament he was returned for Greenwich in 1820 in the Conservative interest. After the passing of the Redistribution Act he sat for the- East Toxteth Division of Liverpool until his elevation to the Peerage in 1895. He was Parlia- mentary Secretary to the Board of Tradt. in 1885 and 1886, and Under-Secretary for the Colonies from 1889 to 1892. In 1887 he was appointed British Pleni- potentiary to the International Conference on the Sutar Bounties, over which ho was called upon to preside, and upon which his political reputation will stand or fall. Lord Pirbright took his title from the little Surrey village of that name, near which his seat, Hsnley Park, is situated. His elder brother, the head of his family, the less-known Baron George de Worms, lives not far at Milton Park, near Egham. It will be remembered that in an early stage of the late war Lord Pirbright presented six acres of freehold ground at Bisley for tho erection thereon of homes of rest for discharged soldiers. Lord Pirbright leaves no heir, and his title becomes extinct.

THE INFLUX OF ALIENS. The Board of Trade returns on alien immigration. just issued, will not allay the fears of those who are averse to the unrestricted arrival of aliens. During last month the number that arrived, not en route to other places, was 5,525, as compared with 4,054 in December of 1901; while for the whole of last year the arrivals, not en route for other places, numbered 81,402. as compared with 70,610 in 1901. There was thus an increase of nearly 11,000 in the year. There was a still greater increase in the aliens stated to be en route to America and other places out of the United Kingdom. The total of these last year was 118,466,as compared with 79,140 in 1901. The Board of Trade explains that the distinction between aliens en route, and aliens not 411 route, &c., is due to Uk" f-lct that a largo number of aliens wlij arrive from Continental potts are reported to be on the way to places out of the United Kingdom, and it is considered desirable to record this fact. But ir is not thereby implied1 that the 'aliens not stated to be en J'oute to America, &c. come to this country for settlement, there being, in fact, a ]an:e emigration of foreigners from this country, while many of the aliens from Continental ports retirn to tIll: Continent."

SNOWSTORM IN SCOTLAND. Perthshire was visited by a heavy snowstorm en Friday morning, and the country is covered to a depth of from five to eight inches. The reads are being cleared by snow ploughs, but traffic is con- siderably impeded. An outdoor work is suspended. This is the first fall tltoa winter in Central and Western Perthshire. Glasgow and other parts of Scotland have also been visited by a heavy fall, of now. and in many districts the I)izli wind is causing serious drifting. All labour in the fields is suspended, as is also out- side work in the shipbuilding yards. The fall has been particularly severe in the Highlands, where the snow is quite eight inches deep. At Edinburgh the storm was the heaviest expert enced for years. It commenced about two o'clock in the morning, and continued during the fore- noon. The snow lies to the depth of about six inches.

A SENTENCE- REDUCED. At the County of London- Sessions, Clerkenwell, John Albert Fish entered1 an appeal against a sentence of one month's imprisonment in the second division passed upon him in December last by Mr. Shiel, sitting at the Westminster Police-court, for having, assaulted' Frederick John Hicks. Mr. Douglas Hogg said there were certain matri- monial differences between the appellant, Captain Fish, and his wife. and under the impression that Dr. Hicks had mixed himself up in these affairs appellant assaulted him. Dr. Hicks being somewhat injured. Since,, however, Captain Fish had satisfied himself that there was no ground whatever for his impressions,, and desired to express, through counsel, his regrets and apologies. Under these circumstances, oounsel asked that the conviction should be affirmed and the sentence varied. Dr. Hicks did not wish to-proceed with th., charge further. Mr. Butterworth, for Dr. Hicks, Mitt that it had been agreed that Captain Fish's solicitors should undertake to pKy forty guineas costs. The bench affirmed the conviction,, altered the sentence to a fine of 20s., and ordered the payment of torty guineas costs.

NEW LIFEBOAT'S FIRST RESCUE. The steamship Chamois, 1,347 tonk owned by Cory and Company, London, and bound-from Rotter- dam for the Tyne, went ashore during Thursday night at Whitbum. near Sunderland. There was a heavy ground awell, and the weather was thick. The local lifoboat-a new craft which had been launched and christened a few hours p-eviotialy- put off and brought the whole of the Chamois' crew, twenty-one aU told, aafely ashote.

SIR H. CAMPBELL B AN»ERM AN AT STIRLING. Sir H. Campbeil-Bannerman, addressing his con- stituents at Stirling, alluded to the fact that in seven by-elections in England there had been a decrease of the votea in favour of the Government, and a considerable increase inl support of the Opposition. An Education Bill. bad been promised for Scotland, and he hoped there would be no invalidation of the root principle of the Scotch syst,om--that the control of the public schools rested with the people, directly exercised by popular election. A Licensing Bill for Scotland was also to be forthcoming. He hoped the question would be dealt with in a way to commend itself to the people. Where was the money to come from by which the proposed Jrish Land Purchase scheme was to be carried out, in view of the great increase of the national expenditure? He was glad to find that arbitration appeared to be assured in the dispute with Venezuela, and that The Haeus Tribunal was to carry it out. That was a most imporl ant precedent, and would do much to pave the way lor peace in the future.

CLERGYMAN FOUND SHOT. The ReY. G. W. R. Mackenzie, curate-in-charge of Winford, near Bristol, has been found shot at the Great Western Hotel, Padding ton. it appears that Mr. Mackenzie had been staying at the hotel for aeveral days. and seemed to be in a cheerful frame of mind. On Thursday morning he was called as usual and there being no response to knocks at the door it was decided to. force an entrance. When this was done Mr. Mackenzie was found l\ing undrea.std en the floor shot through the head. A revolver lay by his side. As he was not dead he was removed to St. Mary's Hospital, where he exMirod in the afternoon. ecor#iin, to the "Clergy List" deceased went to IN iiiit)rd trom Morcott, Uppingham, where he was curate, in 19CO. From 1878 to 1887 lie was planters' el ;:I,Iaiii at Dikoya, Ceylon. He also acted as chaplain to the forc.-s at Trincoinalee, Ceylon, and at various times held curacies in Colombo and in Herksi.iro and Somersetshire, England. j

Find your purpose and fling your life into it Try to be somebody with all your might. What is put into the first of life is put into the whole of life. Start right.—SELECTED. He who is always hearing and answering the Call of life to be thoughtful and brave and self. sacrificing-he alone can safely hear the other cry of- life tempting him to be happy and enjoy. PHILLIPS BROOKS. True heroism is alike positive and progressive, ft lees in right the rtuty which should duminate, and in truth the principle which should prevail. And hence it never falters in the faith that always and everywhere sin must be repressed and righteousness exalted. J. M. HOLMES. These are Theodore Parker's words To perfect in. you the image of God is the work of a lifeb,the great work. It can be accomplished only by a life. Not by a few brief resolutions in your better maoments, though they have their use, but by the plain path of daily duty is this won by faithful work and pure thought, pure and :holy love, the heart of goodness and soul of faith." The writer of an article in the Pilot. on "Garden Puzzles," closes with the following exquisite para- graph, Many and sweet are the uses of a garden. It is at, different. times a delight, an interest, a friend and a companion—always changing, yet always the same. jliit it is also a teacher, and a teacher of the most winning kind, for it makes no fuss or noise in its teaching, and compels no one to learn but those who are willing. To them it gives every help; book after book it opens for them, which they may read or -nt)t. It opens the book ot the primrose, and to the many it is nothing more than a yellow primrose but a Darwin passes by, and he:reads the I lo,)k through and through, and he reads between the lines and learns from it some of the mysteries of the cross-fertilisarion of plants. I can lay claim to nothing like that, but I have learned much from my gentle teacher, and the best lesson I have learned is the lesson of my own ignor- ance and I take to myself the lesson which was long ago sent to Esdras Thine own things and such as are grown up with thee thou canst not know and the more thou searchest, the more thou shalt marvel.
