Yours for business, WELD ON SHOE COMPANY, WELDOIM, N, C. Advice to Our Young Lady Read- ers. Allow no lime lo pass without ' brightening some one's life. Within five minutes' wulk of you there is some one tragedy com pared with v.'hich Shakespeare's King Lear or Victor Hugo's Joan V'iiljan has no power. Go out and I'righien somebody's life with a clu'criiig word or smile or a flow er. Take a good book and read a chapter to that blind man. Go up that dark alley and make that in valid woman laugh with some good story. Go to that Itouse from which that child has been taken by death and icll the father i and mother what an escape the ! child has had from the winter of earth into the springtime of heaven. Young woman, live lo make j others happy, and you will be happy ! Live for yourself and j 1 you will be miserable ! There never has been an exception to the rule there never will be an ex-1 ception. Plan out your life on a big scale, whether you are a farmer's daugh ter, or a shepherdess among the hills or the flattered pet of a drawing-room tilled with statuary and ; pictures and bric-abrac. Stop where you are and make a plan . for your lifetime. You cannot be i satisfied with a life of frivolity and ! giggle and indiscretion. Trust the world and it will cheat you if it ! does not destroy you. The Re I doubtable was the name of an en ! emy's ship that Lord Nelson spared twice from demolition, but that I same ship afterward sent the ball that killed him, and the world on which you smile may aim at you 1 its deadliest weapon. Appreciate your mother while you have her. It is the almost universal testimony of young wo men who have lost mother that they did not realize what she was to them until after her exit from this life, indeed mother is in the appreciation of many a young lady a hindrance. The maternal in spection is often considered an ob- stack. Mother has so many no ! tions about that which is proper and that which is improper. It is astounding how much more many girls know at eighteen than their mothers at forty-five. TOLD OFTEN ENOUGH.

You call me sweet and tender names, And softly smooth my tresses, And all the while my happy heart Beats time to your caresses. You love me in your tender way, I answer as you let me; But, ah. there comes another day, The day when you'll forget me. I know not every fleeting hour Is marked by thoughts I bring you; 1 know there dwells a subtle power In the sweet songs I sing you I do not fear the darkest way, With those dear arms about me: Ah, no, I only dread the day When you can live without me. And still you call me tender names, And softly smooth my tresses And still my happy, answering heart Beats time to your caresses. Hush, let me put that touch away, . And clas'p your hands above me, So, while 1 ask to die that day The day you will not love me. You need not check the thoughts that rise, With darkness wrapt about them: For gazing in your earnest eyes, My heart car, almost doubt them. Yet hush my whispers as you may, Such chidings do not fret me; Ah, no I only fear thai day, The day when you'll forget me. DtWITT'S CARBQLIZEO WITCH HAZEL VALVE For PIIm, Burn, Soraa.

'"Among some skaters was a boy so small and so evidently a begin ner that his frequent mishaps awakened the pity of a tender hearted if not wise spectator. "Why, sonny, you are getting bumped up," she said. "I wouldn't stay on the ice and keep falling down so; I'd just come oft' and watch the others." The tears of the last downfall were still rolling over the rosy cheeks, the child looked from his adviser to the shining steel on his feet and answered, half indignant ly : "1 didn't get new skates to give up with; I got 'em to learn how with." Life's hard tasks are never sent for us "to' give up with;" they are always intended to awaken strength, skill and courage in learning how to master them. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S C ASTQ R I A.
