The old-fashioned honeysuckles, which have for many years twined their clinging tendrils around the sacred ponals of the old home as if vaguely trying to hide the rough places as we would endeavor to shield the faults of our friends. Sweet and dear are the clinging memories that surround it; ihe thoughts that send back to our re collection the blissful childhood days. While ihe sun sank low, we with our brothers and sisiers drove the cattle home, ofien loiter ing on the way io gather the plain buttercups, calling them golden stars, dipping our bare, brown feel in the shady streamlet, watching the sun go down, down with hearis equally as bright. But, hold ! Can we all dream the same happy dreams? Are all the past recollections written on the same page of pleas ure? Ah.no! To some of us 'lis but the remembrance of pasts not too well spent perhaps owing io the absence of good home influ ence, or the deprivation of a home. A child devoid a parent's love has lost the richest gift that God has ever given. In some homes we find the ab sence of that great wheel Love, whose revolutions move the mighty universe when set in motion, but ofien it never moves, but like the spinning wheel of years and ages past, stands in a remote corner, forgotten and alone, and they who would be happy are devoid of the ' grandest blessing life affords. But in the picture of the old ' home as 1 see it in lancy tonight, there is a calmness brooding over all, a quiet that pertains to days holy like that of the Sabbath, and 1 imagine myself once more a child, living again in the happy, sublime moments of the present, caring not for the past nor of the future, nor of memories which are nothing after all, but the "scars of truth's cruel wounds." Again, I see the same robin red breast hopping about and chirrup ing gayly as in the same springtime of the sweet long ago. And the bees humming merrily as before, gathering the sweets from the flowers. The cattle brows ing in the sunshine or resting in the cool shade of the trees, breathing the fragrant air from fields of clo ver, pink and white. And sweeter by far than all other flowers that bloomed in the door-yard, and well I remember the wild flowers and just where they blossomed on the hill-side, and the forests that were ladened as well with their richest of perfumes. The purity and fragrance of the spring's early flowers serve ever a reminder of the sweetest thoughts of home. Vi'ord and Works. HI: A MAN. Foolish spending is the fath er of novortv. Do not be ashamed of hard work. Work for the best salaries or wages you can got, but work for half price rather than be idle. Bo your own master, and do not let soeiety or fashion swallow up your individuality h a t , coat and boots. Do not eat lip or wear out all you earn. Com pel your Hellish body to spare something for jtrollts saved. ISo stingy to your own appe tite, but merciful to others ne cessities. Help others, and ask no help for yourself. See that you aro proud. Let your pride be of the right kind. Hu too proud to be lazy; too proud to give up without, conquering every difficulty; too proud to wear a coat you cannot afford to buy; too proud to be in com pany you cannot keep up with expenses; too proud to lie, or steal or cheat; too proud to be stingy.

It seemeth such a little way to me Across to that strange country, the Beyond; And yet not strange for it has grown to be The home of those of whom I am so fond: They make it seem familiar, and most dear, As journeying friends bring distant countries near. So close it lies that when my sight is clear I seem to see the gleaming of that strand; I know I feel those who have gone from here Come near enough to even touch my hand. 1 ofien think but for our veiled eyes, We would find Heaven right round about us lies. 1 cannot make it seem a day to dread When f"om this dear earth I shall journey out To that s II dearer country of the dead And join the lost ones so long dreamed about. 1 love this world, yet I shall love to go And meet the friends who wait for me, I know. 1 never stand above the bier and see The seal of death set on some well loved face But that I think one more to welcome me When I shall cross the intervening space Between this land and that one Over There; One more to make the strange Beyond seem fair. And so to me there is no sting to death, And so the grave has lost its victory. It is but crossing with suspended breath And white, set face, a little strip of sea, To find the loved ones on the other shore, More beautiful, more precious than before. TWO POEMS Or I BY JOHN J. INGALLS, OF KANSAS. Master of Human Destinies am I, Fame, Love and Fortune on my footsteps wait, Cities and Fields 1 walk; I penetrate Deserts and Seas remote, and passing by Hovel and Mart and Palace soon or late I knock, unbidden, once at every gate, If sleeping, wake ! If feasting, rise before I turn away ! It is the hour of Fate And those who follow me reach every state Mortals desire, and conquer every foe Save Death. But those who doubt, or hesitate Condemned to failure, penury and woe Seek me in vain and uselessly implore, I answer not, and I return no more. II BY WALTER MALONE, OF MEMPHIS. They do me wrong who say I come no more When once 1 knock and fail to find you in; For every day I stand outside your door, And bid you wake, and rise to fight and win. Wail not for precious chances passed away, Weep not for golden ages on the wane ! Each night I burn the records of the day ; At sunrise every soul is born again. Laugh like a boy at splendors that have sped ; To vanished joys be blind and deaf and dumb; My judgements seal the dead past with its dead. But never bind a moment yet to come. Though deep in mire, wring not your hands and weep; I lend an arm to all who say "I can I" No shamefaced outcast ever sank so deep But yet might rise and be again a man I Dost thou behold thy lost youth all aghast ? Dost reel fioiu rigliiCuus tell ibulion's blow ? Then turn from blotted archives of the past And find the future's pages white as snow ! Art thou a mourner ? Rouse thee from thy spell; Art thou a sinner? Sins may be forgiven; Each morning gives thee wings to flee from hell, Each night a star to guide thy feet to heaven. CASTQRIA For Infants and Children. Hie Kind You Have Always Bought Bear, the Signature Lucky is the man who doesn't depend upon his luck. OPPORTUNITY. BLAMING MOTHER. "My mother made me what I am," said the political speaker, as he proudly threw out his chest. "Well," said a small man at the rear of the hall, "she must have put in most of her time at other i things." tlis Friend was Short of Ice In this World and went Away a Scorching and a Sizzling. "De fr'en what I's a-preachin' over," said the colored deacon, "is done pass ter his reward. Dey offered $10 reward fer 'im whilst he wuz wid us, but Deaih kotched 'im for de sheriff. He passed awav enduring erde hot spell we had las' week, when hit wuz so hot that his temperatere got jealously and out-climbed de weather. He went a-scorching an' a-sizzling. He wuz short er ice in dis worl' an' will be shorter in de next.

Br'er Williams, pass der hat whilst we're on de subject and let's all sing hymn No. 144 !" WOMEN HARD TO OUST. Years ago a prominent North Carolinian was asked by a friend about the advisability of taking a woman into his office as a helper in his work. The auswer was Don't. If you hire a man and he doesn't suit you you can discharge him. But discharging a woman who wants to keep her job is some thing any mere man wants to avoid. She will not only give trouble herself but she will have all her kinsfolk after you Whether she can do the work and your convenience will not bo considered if she wants to stay." This idea seems to hold in the lady postmasters. In these days when the sisters are claiming "equal rights" with their brothers, they should learn to accept the "right" to be fired from a job. Statesville Landmark. HELL LOCATED. In a late issuo of the Sword and Trowel, tho editor, Dr. C. Dixon,tells of some experiences which a Text Currier had while witnessing courageously for Christ during a mission in Lon don in October. While he was preaching to a crowd, one of the auditors shouted: "There is no hell; hell is here." "No, you're wrong," said the preach er; "shall I give you three rea sons to prove it ?" "Yes," shouted his opponent. "First," was the reply, "within a short distance is the River Thames; in hell there is not a drop of wator. Secondly, over the way Dr. Dixon preaches the gospel; there is no gospel preaching in hell. Thirdly, I am here, a Christian, and there are no Christians in hell." "You'd better go now, mate," said an other in the crowd, "you've got enough to go on with." And the man went. Biblical Recorder. HIS FEAR REALIZED. "Hurry up that order," said a traveler in a railroad eating house down South, '.'I'm afraid I'll miss my train." "Yes, sah. boss!" the waiter answered, as he hurried off. After what seemed an almost interminable wait to tho trav eler he returned with the food As he set it down he asked: "Is you de gentlemans what was feared he'd miss de train?" "Yes," was tho reply. ''Well, you iiuidii't be feared oh dat, suh, no mo'." "Good! Is it late?" the trav el inquired. "No, sah. It's done gone !" was the waiter's affable and reassuring response. A woman has one bi advantage over man; she can improve her looks. Many a cooking school graduate doesn't pan out as well as her hus band would like. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S C ASTORIA "He thai loves the world, owns j it." It's a good old saying, and a good old world, but one has to I meet it halfway. If we withdraw j into ourselves, refuse to neighbor, ; despise public aciivities, all of a sudden, some day, we will awaken to the truth that the world does not belong to us, but io those of our neighbors who got about a good deal, shook hands with every body, and took the world to their bosoms. We are left behind, feel ing lonely, abused, out of it. To some, the failure to feel kin ship is by heritage. "I have felt so little at home in the world thai it has never been hard for me to conform," was Margaret Fuller's sad little confession. But most people enter voluntarily into a state of self-exile from common lite. They call it being exclusive, as if the world itself did not mean limi ted communication, failure to sip the fullness of life. The atitude of aloofness is bar ren, unproductive. Join in, oe interested in ihe human race, feel for it, do for it, and criticise as lit tle as you can. You must love ihe world grass or trees, highways or humanity to get anything out of it. "He that loves the world owns it." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Even some old settlers never settle. Success comes to a few of us in spite of ourselves. Giving unsolicited advice is one way of borrowing trouble. Some men are used to being called liars and don't mind it. Too manv people want to monkey with other folks' buzz saws. After the trial a wise person learns not to talk hack to the judgo. Even a big man can't always insult a little man and get away with it. The man with a good aim in life and an empty gun may have artistic temperament. HALF AND HALF. She Sometimes you appear to be really manly, and some times you are effeminate. lie 1 suppose it is Heredi tary. Half of my ancestors were men, aud the other half women. Presbyterian Stand ard.
