these them questions mean inexperienced persons persona are not usually quite so perceptive some of the young and innocent have rick quick and vivid instincts and can detect the presence of ovll ovil

themselves in an awkward predicament aroln which they can scan see no satisfactory way of escape and in which Jo roemain emain is certain ruin fean an there be a brace of f parents found in the community who have any regard for the welfare of their children and who would be satisfied e d for their sons and an d their daughters to attend 1 1 moonlight or starlight excursions or parties at

tiling easy to secure in in a largo party everybody has relatives and friend sand acquaintances whom every other body does daes not think the most highly of or and often for sufficient reason more or lessof lessor less of these relatives and friends arid and acquaintances almost always mannge manage to find themselves mixed up in large ly 13 these night open air parties and often when wilen those parties are very select too hence the word select very good in its way is by no in means eans cans a talisman to te keep the tempter at a distance or to deliver from evil are we afraid of temptation certainly we are we think it should be avoided whenever it consistently can be and moreover think it would be well for all the community the young especially to thus avoid it no man or woman knows just how far he or she can bo be tempted with impunity while with every temptation that comes upon us unawares there is a way of escape if wo we seek temptation and needlessly place ourselves in the way of it we have no rl night right lit t to 0 expect safety or help V if then we are kept from evil it is more than wo we can reasonably expect more than we deserve because more than we have sought and striven for it is the moth that flutters around the candle that gets burned not the insect that keeps far from the fire the taper may be dazzling may appear as brilliant assin as sin sometimes does but if ir played with the end thereof is death so with temptation of any kind the only assured security lies in careful avoidance so long as itis it is possible hence it idour is our settled opinion that it is not wise visa to encourage these night open air parties and arid our voice is raised and our influence exerted against them shall shail the young and vivacious not have recreation yes have all the they ey want only see that they be as harmless as innocent as unobjectionable as possible theno there is no wisdom there is no profit in choosing recreation as to time place or kind wherein the tempter has any special 1 advantage keep h him m at arms length all the time then you are sate safe and will be much more likely to be healthy and happy republicanism IN ENGLAND A NEW yobu YORK paper has the following if lan ian language guage gnage WAS invented to conceal thought it would seem that newspapers are conducted to keep people in ignorance of what Is going ingoing on at st least the en labh papers A few days ago the london melc Tele telegraph grapA graph gave gate cave cate two columns and a half to th the wood races nive five columns to the tichborne trial and nearly a colu column mn to a stupid debate when the night before a meeting of was held iu in nottingham to protest against the proposed annuity to the duke of edinburgh similar meetings mee mec tines have been tie tic neld held id in other places cutno mention is 13 made of them in any of the london papers indeed no one would get the idea from those journals t that ha t there were above a dozen or twenty republicans public ans in all england and would con elude that even they amount amounted Cd to nothing their aim seems to be to keep their leaders la isnor morant ant of the real sentiments and doings of the masses of the people and their representatives many blany people in this country are deceived concerning the extent and influence of the rep republican an and radical movements in england nottingham is a place where the radical element clement has long been comparatively strong it was a stronghold of feargus OCon noes noys laud land allotment movement the large manufacturing bentres centres ifeng 1 n db land generally have a large largo nu number r of radical theorizers theo rizera and advocates and adherents of such theo ries and they sometimes ome times make turbulent demonstrations in fact the republican and rodical radical people in england 1 are very noisy they make much ado in their way and speakers of ability appear among them but their following is muc mue much I 1 less influential than many peo people wie rie imagine the recent votes in in parliament upon the russian ma marriage ir lage inge endowment show that this is one reason why the london papers say little about these demonstrative meetings they have comparative little with atho athe more intelligent classes and therefore few of the public papers add to the in flence of these movements by giving much space to the proceedings at the meetings it may be that ire gre republicanism is growing in england EDgland but it is growing much more slow blow slowly y than is co commonly m represented and believed in this tilis country and it will be some time before the english people will be ready to exchange their time honored monarchy and the personal liberty the political steadiness and solidity national pro prosperity sperl ty which have attended it for republican experiments there is canup tion it is true in monarchy and aristocracy to cracy but the course of events in this country proves that republicanism is scarcely prepared to throw tilrow stones living as it does in a glass house itself it is possible that monarchy will yet bo be supplanted by republicanism in the british islands but apart from ish agitators and that portion of the people who are fascinated by the surrounding the vast resources and the tile remarkable material progress of the tile U united n I 1 ted states it will take much argument to convince the present generation of britons that their country would bo be any more prosperous peaceful and happy under a republic than under its present monarchial form of government a government which so far as personal liberty is concerned is republican in all but in name bradlaugh Bradlau bradlaugh lh the apostle of republicanism in n england ia I 1 bold able ready shrewd keen and ambitious but he la Is apt to lean leau towards the coarse the unfeeling the intellectually brutal in Us his manner in public he is not the tho man to lead ore une influential classes in england in any movement republicanism must find a in much uch ucb more acceptable champion than lie he before it will prevail in that country besides the english people are thoughtful and careful not remarkably mar kably lasty hasty nasty in their changes but wedded to systems which whick have been proved in prosperity and adversity when they make fundamental or serious changes they do it only after deliberate consideration and a careful discussion of advantages and disadvantages the ballot is desired there and suffrage is being gradually extended after some years manhood may obtain jn in the british islands and republicanism may follow but that consummation will not be beat bent at plesent present pie sent and if it should come it will be likely to approach by gradual easy and natural stages rather than by any sudden political convulsion at present the signs sips of republican government in england are dim and the principal english newspapers knowing this have little to say
