In : the evenings when 1 had closed ' 1 1 1 y otliee and started home 1 1 fivnneiitlv found him "on his joh" delivering papers, and soinet imes for ever so short a, distance he would favor me j with his company, we talked j hnsiness, his own. Then his, his spirit of enthusiasm was 'contagious. His answers to I'luestions wen thout;'htful and nevee extravagant. This im-; . pressed me and I studied him ' the more. I found he was j I methodical, honest with him-j S self; ho did not loaf only once, j ; A irauiti of football was on and i out! side was short of players; j j he stopped just a few short ! minutes ami helped the weaker i side in a rush which landed the ball. Had he not done this I ! would have lost interest in him. ; I recall now his happy laugh as he gathered up his papers and hastened their delivery in ! bettor time than if he had not stopped. Had he lived 1 should never have told that I subjected him ; to severe scrutiny and study, j but being anxious to know the j secret of manliness asmanifes j ted in his steadiness and pcrsis ' tence of effort. I did seek dili gently without favor or partial ity. He told me one day, not ! in words, but in the tender ex pression of his eyes and voice as he made reference to bis mother. He was devoted to her. and she was his partner. The tenderness of his feelings for her was as retined as pure gold. He may have had doubts about some things, but that his mother was deeply interested in him and expected him to succeed there in his mind abso i lately was no shadow of a doubt. This was the secret of the success of my little friend, and the manner of his making good is a tribute to mother hood, which may be shared with pride by till mothers who mav read this. He was a stur dy little gentleman, and when he died not only the writer, but the town of Wilson sulfered a loss. Denied the sad privilege of 01 attending hisfuneral I make the . . ...r.. i i.

O the ships go out to the farthest shore, And the ships come home again ; The dew dries on ihe morning rose Returns in a drop of rain Bui the joy of a day that I smiled away, I call to it in vain ! O the princess hides, in a cup of rust, Her gold on the winter lea; And comes, her pilgrim stafTabloom With the flowers that used to be But the golden smile of a little while Will never come back to me ! O the stars go out with the break of dawn, And the stars are full and bright When the sun has turned his face away, And the world has need of light When the glad world beamed I dreamed I dreamed; And now the night the night ! O the birds forsake the coloring wood, And the birds come home to sing; The breath of the fallen rose returns On the wing of the swallow's wing But the harps I know of the long ago Lie mute in the soul of spring ! 0 rose that blooms in a garden wild, O bird in a lonely tree, 1 know the gifts of my heart lie deep In your far-off mystery, And bloom and sing in eternal spring Though they never come back to me! Aloysius Coll, in the January Appleton's. 'THE BEST DRINK." On a pleasant day in the early Fall A stranger rode into the town, And, stopping his horse in the public square, Glanced this way and that with a frown, For the place (lift he sought he could not find (Di inkshops had been closed that year). So he called to a lad whajpassed that way, And said to him, "Laddie, come here. "Here's a copper for you to show the way To the best drinking-place you know." "All right," he answered a quick-witted youth "Just turn that street, sir, and go Till you come to another, turn right again, And you'll sec it quite plainly," said John. So thanking the lad, the stranger rode on, And John, with a hop, skip and jump, After the stranger he went in a irice, Brought up at the old town pump. "Here you are sir," said John with a good-natured smile; "It's the best drinking-place to be found, Take a drink, sir; it's free, and you're welcome, I'm sure. And it's good for your health, I'll be bound !" The man took the joke in a good-natured way, And drank of the water so clear, Then said, " 'Tis an excellent drink, I am sure; As good as I've had for a year." So saying he tossed the bright lad a new coin, "The lesson is worth thai 10 nie, And if you keep playing your temperance joke 'Twill nitike the world beiier." said he.

This is he who can respectfully and reverently say when interests, apparently greater than his his own, may demand it, "Not my will, but thine be done." Thus the Master prayed in that hour of struggle and supreme con secration. No word oF man, per haps, more Fully expresses strength and greatness than this, "Not my will, but thine be done." When this prayer can be uttered as a truth From the depths oF the soul, the individual man is ready to con centrate his powers to the execu tion oF wills and purposes greater than his own. HenceForth God and humanity are the recipients of his service. The more extremely selfish and individual men become, even though they be strong willed, j the smaller, the more finite and j limited are they. The more fully i the individual will and purposes of J men harmonize with the will of ! their country and of their God the j greater they become. "Not my ' will, but thine be done" is the ! Christian's constitution, j Here, likewise, is the stone upon which statesmen stand. Notindi I vidual interests of man but the will ! and welfare of his people and coun try are the thoughts of the states man. The great generals and civil leaders alike remember first the greater will of the cause and of the country which they serve. Not only the Christian religion and the strength of the State are anchored in this principle, but there is no other key for the home. If the husband is an absolute mon ; arch, his wife and children become j vassals and slaves. If the wife is ! a stubborn shrew, the husband j grows careless, despondent and ' useless. If children are hauty and i j disobedient the sweetness and har mony ot tne nome Pecome tne bitterness and discord of the living place. When each member is ready to surrender his own pleas ure and perhaps his purposes, that the interests oF other members oF the entire Family will thereby be better served, then the home is the spring From which How the lives and influence oF strong and great men and women. The anchor of greatness, the spirit of Christiani ty, the pillar oF statesmanship, the safety of the home and its key are together sealed in, "Not my will, but thine be done. " his protection from the soul destroying things of the world. The man who can't stand pros perity will find it harder to stand adversity. ATTORNEY AT LAW, 'WELI'OX, N. (.'.'
