US' PERHAPS AN ANGEL SPEAKING.
When the cotton fields are whitest,
And the dews reflect the stars,
When the harvest moon shines brightest
Through the leaves in silver bars, .
There's a banjo sweetly ringing
At the little cabin door,
And the mocking bird is singing
As it sang in days of yore.
On the blended songs I ponder;
On the "Land way over there."
And the rapturous "Over yonder's
Happy land without a care.
While the banjo's softly ringing,
Starts a teardrop down my cheek,
And the mocking bird that's singing
Seems an angel that would speak.
'Tis perhaps an angel speaking,
Could we only read the song,
Soft, persuading, pleading, seeking,
Souls to turn away from wrong.
There's a saintly sermon stealing
From the lofty cabin door,
Where the gray haired darkey's kneeling
To his God when work is o'er.
Though of land he's not an acre,
Though his face is black and old,
Yet he's talking to his Master,,
With a faith doubt makes not cold,
And it may be he rejoices
At some angel message heard
Some note of angel voices
In the singing of the bird.

NEVER TROUBLE TROUBLE.
a
atiAjMsOll
Look on the bright side always,
It does not do to mope;
Don't say, "I fear," "I'm dreaming,"
But just "I trust and hope"
Don't look for storm and tempest
While skies are bright and blue,
Just never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles you.
Some folks are always croaking,
From sunrise to sunset;
They rail against the weather;
Be it hot or cold, or wet:
"The frost will kill the peaches,"
"The drought will spoil the wheat,"'
"The rain will drown the harvest,
And we'll have no bread to eat."
Don't you dread conflagrations
Because the fireflies glow;
Or dream of wild tornadoes
Whenever zephyrs blow;
Don't think that floods are coming
When it rains a drop or two;
Oh, never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles you.
For half the evils dreaded
Will never come to pass,
And you miss the present's brightness
While you sii ami ". "Alii !" -
Take the blossom bright and glowing,
Though a worm be at the root,
Nor let one spot upon the rind
Spoil all the mellow fruit.
Make the best of what is given,
Without looking for the ill;
8o will all your joys be doubled
And your woes diminish still.
Rejoice in all the sunshine
Of the world you journey through,
And never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles you.
CHAMPION FISH STORY.
That's Right, If You Intend
Telling a Lie, Tell a Big One.
They bad been speaking of fast rune
oo railroads. "That reminds mo of s
run we made some time ago on a train
which came in from a point on tbe coast,"
said the man who wanted to add seat to
the conversation, "and it was about tba
fleetest trip I ever bad oo railroad-
"Tbo train was behind time about an
hour, tod I think the engineer made an
effort to catch op between tbe city and s
point not so very far out on the) coast.
At aoy rate, it looked very much like it ,
to me. We shot through the sir like an
arrow. Sometimes it would seem to me
that we had left the track altogether.
That clickiog peculiar to railroad Iraine
oould not be heard. About all we could
bear at times would be tbe whizxing of
tbe wind as it split by tbe windows.
Across bsyous snd through marshes wc
rubbed like msd. When wc reached tbe
Rigolets the most remarkable thing I ever
saw took place. The train was traveling
ao fast that it sucked tbe water up be
hind it as it rushed across the trestle, and
I could hear the fishes groan as we flew
over this neck of the sulf. Most re
markable thing I ever saw in the way of
fast runs." And he lapsed into silence.
"I'm glad you reminded me of that run,"
said another member of the group. "I
bad forgotleo the incident. I can vouch
for all you say, for I waa on the back
end of the last coach, and the water
which was sucked in behind tbe train by
the vacuum almost wsshed me overboard,
but I held on all right, and when we bad
made tbe crossing and tbe waters had
receded I picked np on tbe platform of
the rear coach the finest bunch of fish I
ever saw. They were no doubt the fish
you heard groaning." New Orleans

PASS IT ON-
CROUP.
The peculiar cough which indicates
croup, ia usually well known to the
mothers of a croupy ohild. No time should
be lost in the treatment of it, and for this

universal approval than Chamberlain's
Coogh Remedy. Do sot waste valuable
time ia eipeiinieoting with nnlrted rem
edies, so matter how highly the; are
reommended, but give this medioine as
directed and sll symptoms of croup will
quickly disappear.

SOMETHING LIKE THIS MAY HAPPEN
TO TOD SOME DAY, BROTHER, AND
IF SO, REMEMBER THIS LITTLE
STOBT.
Ooce, when I waa a school boy, going
borne for the holidays, I had a long way
to go to reaob the little town io which I
dwelt. I arrived at Bristol aod got on
board the etesmer with just enough
money to pay my fare, and, that being
settled, I thought in my innocence I bad
id for everyihing in the way of meals.
I bad what I wauled as long as we were
in smooth water. Then came the rounb
Atlantio, aod the need of nothing more
I had been Iviog io my berth for hours,
wretchedly ill, aod past caring for any
thing, when there came ihe steward, aod
stood beside me.
"Your bill, sir," said be, holding out
piece of paper.
"I have no money," aaid I in my
wretchedness.
"Then I shall keep your baggage.
What ia your name and address?" I told
bim. Iostsntly be took off the cap be
wore, with the gilt band about it, and
held out bia band. "I should like to
shake hands with you," he ssid.
I gsve bim my hand and shook his as
well as I oould. Then csme the explanation-bow
that some yeara before a little
indnesa had been ahown his mother
by my father in the sorrow of her widowhood.
"I never thought the cbsnce would
come fot me to repay it," said be, pleas
antly: "but I am glad it has."
"So am I," said I.
As soon as I got ashore I told my
father what had happened. "Ah," said
be, "see how a bit of kindness lives I
Now he has passed it on to you. Remem
ber, if you meet anybody that needs a
friendly band) you must pass It oo to
them."
I ears bad gooe by, 1 had growo op
aod quite forgotten it all, nntil ooe day I
bad gone to tbe atation ot one ot our
main line. I was just going to take my
ticket, when I saw a little lad crying;
thorough gentleman he was, trying to
keep bsck the troublesome tears as he
pleaded with the booking clerk.
"A' hat is the matter, my lad?"
asked.
If you please, sir, 1 baven t mooey
enough to pay my fare. I have all but a
few pence, and I tell the clerk if be will
trust me I will be sure to pay him."
Iostantly flashed upon me, tbe forgot
ten atory of long ago. Here, theo, was
my chance to pass it oo. I gave him
the sum needed, and then got into the
carriage with him. Then I told tbe
little fellow tbe atory of long ago and of
the steward'! kindness to me. "Now, to
day," I said, "I pass it on to you, and
remember, if you meet with any one who
need a kindly band, you must pass it on
to them."
"I will, sir; 1 will," oricd the lad as he
shook my hsod, his eyea flashing with
earnestness.
"I sm sure yon will," I answered.
I reached my destination, and left my
little friend. The last sign I had of bin
waa the hsokerobief fluttering from the
window of the oarriage, as if to say, "It
is all light sir; I will pass it on."
