t LONG AGO. 1 once knew all the birds that came And nested in our orchard trees, For every flower I had a name My friends were wobdchQcks, 'toads and ' bees, . - : ; ' I knew what thrived In yonder glen, W hat plants would soothe a stone-bruised .toe-. ' Oh, I was very learned then But that very long ago. j ' I knew the spot upon the hill . Where chec:erberrie could be found I knew the rushes near the mill ' Where pickerel lay. that weighed pound! I knew the wood the very tree Where lived the poaching, saucy crow, And all the woods and crows, knew me But that was very long ago. 1 And pining for the Joys of youth I tread the old familiar spot ', ' ' Only to learn this solemn truth: I nave forgorten, am forgot. Yet here's this" youngster at m-y knee Knows all the thing1? I used to know; To think I once was as wise as he! But that was very long ago. , " ': t .... I know 'tis folly to complain Of whatso'er the fates decree, Yet, were not wishes all In vain, - 1 telf you what my wish w ould be; v I'd wish to be a boy again, Baek with the friends I usetfto know, For i was, oh, so happy then But that was very long ago. f " s Eugene Field, ELIZABETH'S VALENTINE. Itwas almost time for recess, and Elizabeth had studied , all her lessons except her georaphy, and the geography class didn't recite until the last thing. "I can learn that af terrecess," thought Elizabeth. "Dear me! I wish the bell would ring." She glanced at the clock. Twenty minutes to wait. "I suppose I might jstudy! over my spelling again," she thought; "butljjuess I know it well enough." Elizabeth was particular anxious T:fcr recess-on this day because she and her friend Helen were goingxo finish making their valen tin e s during recess; for the next day was St. Valentine's Day. Elizabeth had brought with her to.school a bottle of mut'ilage, saiiie lace paper, and some silk fringe that she had frayed out from a few pieces of" silk, and Helen had brought her paints. Elizabeth was going to mail her valentine to her littl&U -- for a, surprise,. d to send hers. fath er, who was away from home. Elizabeth was going to put a verse of poetry on her valen tine. She couldn't find any verse suitable for her little sister, although she had looked through all the valentines in the bookstore, so she had made up the lines herself.. They were: 1 'Sweet little girlie, with b ig blue eyes, Little red mouth, so small in size! When you don't cry, I loveTou so much, And you're Just as chubby and fat as the Dutch." Elizabeth thought this verse was very pretty, And she was going to paint the -first letters of each line blue. 'I might be painting them iust as well now.'.' thought Elizabeth, "and then I shall have more time in recess to stick in the fringe." She marie a siern to Helen across the aisle for the paints. Helen looked surprised, for she didn't think Elizabeth would do such a thing in school, but she got out the paints, and when Miss Turner, the teacher wasn't looking, passed them nv(r. Elizabeth knew it was wrong to paint in school. i "1 will open my spelling- book," she said to' herself, -"and perhaps 1 can be studying a the same time." She wet the brush in her mouth, and began to paint She soon found that she could nt paint and study both at once . "Never mind," she said to herself, "I know the - spelling any way, and if Miss Turner asks what I'm doing, I'll stop painting instantly, and begin to study,aad say, 'I'm studying.' ," She painted on quietly. She got the S. .L.'and W. all done. They did look pretty. How pleased.her little sister would be! She had just began on the A. when she heard Miss Turner's voice, saying: -"Elizabeth, what are you doing rv '' "I'm studying," she replied, without a moment's- hesitation. - The words were scarcely out of her mouth before her heart sank; for , she had forgotten to stop paintingjana begin to study before she replied. She looked across the aisle at Helen. Hel - r ii in ' J1 w . ...i ..,K . , send lierer.-rT en s mouth was in the shape! of an C, and she was drawing in long breaths through it. Eliza beth knew that this meant "Oh. now wicjcea you are!" J Elizabeth'sface grew vpry red. She put aside her paint brush, and tried to study her spelling but she could not see the ' words, because her eyes were blinded by tears. When the bell rang for recess, Helen came to Elizabeth, and sat down in the seat with her. "Elizabeth Gardner," she ex claimed, 'aren't you ashamed? Oh, I wouldn't tell a story!" Elizabeth buried her face in her arms upon her .desk, and began to cry. Helen waited a few moments and then said: . "Well, let's do the valen tines." "No," sobbed Elizabeth, don't want to." "You said you would," re plied Helen, "and it's breaking your promise, not to." ! Just then the children heard Miss Turner's voice close to them, saying: "What is the trouble, Eliza beth?" I1 "O Miss Turner!" said Eliza beth, "I told you a lie." "Why, Elizabeth," said Miss Turner; "I am surprised, and very sorry.'" ; "I'm sorry too," said Eliza beth." "What., made you do it?" asked Miss Turner. . ' I "I don't know," said Eliza beth; "I didn't know I could tell a lie so easily." ! "Tell me how it happened," said Miss Turner. So Elizabeth told all about -it. When she got Turner said: through "You have done very wrong, Elizabeth; first, in painting during school; and, second in being untruthful. It would have been wrong to say t 'I'm study ing U you were not studying when I asked you the question; for that would have deceived me. A person may be untruth ful without telling ?t direct lie, and itxpjitart carried out your jr V- " 1 ,J j. ' J just as w intended, you would still truthful, for you vould have tried to make me believe what was not true. And even if I had not asked vou the question at all, you would still have had untruthfulness in your heart, for you planned to be untruth- ul. But you see that in plan ning untruthfulness and deceit ypii were led into telling a direct lie. I ThaUs the way it often is when we yield to temptation; we are led into a sin that we had not thought of." " I "Yes, ma'am," said Eliza beth; "1 see how it is. I f will novpr no so aszaiu. x u.uu u want to be an untruthful girl." Just then the bell rang, j TWr " saiA Helen: "now we can't do the Valentinesi" A v- V ' "Oh, yes!" said Elizabeth; "come over to my house after school, and we will finish them there. Mamma said any way she was afraid it wasn't a very; good plan for me to bring the things to school." niri h tfill vou whv? asked Miss Turner. t '.'Yes, ma'am,'.' . said Eliza beth . casting down her i eyes; "she was afraid I might something naughty." do "So." said Miss.- Turner smiling, "your first mistake was in not taking your mother's anvice." By Maud Wilkinson in S. S. Times. 1 SMALL COURTESIES.. . "i One evening) last week I en tered a room' where several young people, with books and work, were sitting around the irv. Th a vouner man with the lesicon and grammer on the table before him was the: busi est of the group, but he instant ly arose and remained standing until I had taken my seat. The little action was automati ; the habit of this family is to prac tice small courtesy, and .the boys have been trained from childhood to pay deference to women. They alwiys rise when ever a lady, their mother, sister, friend, or the guest of thehouse comes into the room, where they are at work ; they place chairs gallantly and graceiully at the dinner table, they take off their hats when they me et their mother on the street, and they I never kiss her with a hat on ; in a a. - l- - mm 1 1 I . I saying good-morning or good evening to her it is with hat in hand. Her bundles are carried, ner way is made easy, a beauti polileness waits for her word in the domestic discussions, and refrain from interrupting her even in the most heated argu ment. Neither mother.nor sis ter goes out after dark, without an escort. One cf the boys can always go out of his war. or findjt in his way, to see her safely to a friend's door or to the j meeting which she wishes to attend. Most winning, and swec t is the air of good breeding which these young men have acquired which they wear wih an unconscious grace. l Equally charming are the manners of the girls in the home I speak of ; gentle, soft spoken, appreciative, considerate, and reverential. To old people, they are tender ; to children , kind ; to each other, lovely. One cannot too sedulously look after the small courtesies in one's conduct, and, if one be charged with the management of a household, m the accus tomed ways of the family. Hab ijts count for everything here and example is better than pre cept. Margaret' E. Sangster,, in Interior. INAGUHATiON OF PRESIDENT Willi-m Mckinley.- There is no occasion' that is more magnificent or inspiring to the patriotic American citizen than the Inauguration of . the President of the United States, which occurs in the oitv of Washington on the fourth of March, every four years. For the inauguration of Wil liam McKinlev. on Marr.h -ith next, the crowds will probstflyl exceed the attendance ipon any similar occasion inrect years.

From ; Char lotte, Salisbury, Raleigh, Dur ham, Greensboro, Winston and intermediate points, the trip to Washington only occupies about 8 to 15 hours, the journey being accomplished in one night (if you prefer traveling at night to save time) and the return trip can be made in the same j quick tiike ; on magnificent vestibuled trains with elegant Pullman sleeping cars and day coaches. Thus passengers from the terri tory referred to can leave home the evening of the 3rd and ar rive at Washington early a. m. of the 4th in ample time to par ticipate in the Inaugural cere monies. . ; For-detailed information .call on any agent of that company., Mr. Ward L. Smith of Fred- eficlrstown, Mo., was tronbled with chronic diarrhoea for over fchirtv vears. He had become f Jilly satisfied that it was only a question of a short time- until he would have to give up. He h!ad been treated by some of the best physicians in Europe and America but got no permanent relief. One day he picked Mp a newspaper and chanced to rfiad an advertisement of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He got a bottle of it, the first dose helped him and its continued use cured him. For sale by David Way, Druggist. A few mouths ago, Mr, Byron Every, of Woodstock; Mich., was badly afflicted with rheu matism. His right leg was swollen the full length, causing him great suffering. He was advised to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. The first bottle of it helped him considerably and the second bottle effected a cure. For 25 and 50 cant sizes call pn David Way,Druggist.
