POETRY.
A DREAM OF HOME.
BY ALICE CARY.

Sunset, A hush is on the air,
Their gray old heads the mounlsin bare "a,
As If the winds were saying prayer.s
The woodland, with its broad, green wing,
Shuts close the insects whispering,
And 10 the sea gets up TO sing.
The days last splendor fades and dies,
And shadows one by one arise,
To light the candles Of the skies.
o, wild flowers, wet with fearful dew;
o, woods, with starlight shining through,
My heart is back to might with you2
know each beech and maple tree,
Each climbing brier and shrub see
Like friends they stand TO welcome me
MusiDg, go along the streams,
Sweetly believing in my dreams,
For fancy like prophet seems. +
Footsteps beside me tread the sod,
As in the twilights gone they trOd;
And unlearn my doubts, thank God.
Unlearn my doubts, forget my fears.
And thst bad csrel essness that sears,
And makes me older than my years.
hear dear, familiar tone
A loving hand is in my own
And earth seems made for ne alone.
If / my fortune could have planned,
Iwould not have let 20 that hand;
But they must fall who learn to stand.
And how to blend lfe's varied bGes,
What i'll 10 find, what good to lose,
My Father knoweth best to choose.

Among the victims of the Henry Clay

man of the purest character, formerly a

ed by all who knew him. In his pocket

cut from a newspaper Of which the fol-
lowing is "a copy:

fully imployed, attend to the cultivation
ofyour mind. Always speak the truth.
Make few promises. Live up to your en-
gagements. Keep your own secrets if
you have any. When you speak TO a
person look him in the face. Good com.
pany aud good conversation are the very
sineWs of virtue. Good character is
above all things else. Your character
cannot be eventually injured except by
your own acts, If any one speaks evil
ofyoulet your life be such that none will
believe him. Drink no kind of intoxica-
ting liquors. Ever live (niisfortunes ex-
cepted) within your income. When you
retire to bed think over what you have
been doing during the day. Make no
haste to be rich, if you would prosper;
small and steady gains give ,mpetency
with tranquility Of mind. Never play
any game Of chance. Avoid temptation
through fear you may not Withstand it,
Earn money before you spend it, Never
run into debt unless you see way to get
out again. Never borrow if you can
possibly avoid it. Do not marry until
you are able to support wife. Never
speak evil ofany one. Be just before
you are generous. Keep yourself inno-
cent If you would be-happy. Save when
you are youngto spend when you are old.

PRoGREss.-Previous to 1900 there was
not single steamboatin existence, and
the application of steam machinery for
navigation was unknown. Now there are
3OOO steamers trayersing the rivers, bays
and lakes of America, and the time saved
IN travel is equal to 20 per cent. In 1900
there was not a single railroad in the
world. In the United States there are
now 797 railroads, costing $4,000, 900
10 build. The locomotives will now trav-
el in an hour, distance which in 1900 it
required whole day to accomplish. In
1900, it required eight weeks to convey
intelligence between New Orleans and
New York; now it can be accomplished
In minutes by the electric telegraph. which
only had its beginning in 1913. This is
the kind of progress We admire, and
worth all the progress so much vaunted
by politicians.

A Ttpsy .Juror--They tell good story of

who is winning golden lauFels for the manner
in which he discharges the duties of bis office.
The good order and decorum that he secures
gives dignity to the court, and greatly taclIl"
iales the correct prosecution OF business.
That there is BIZ Of waggery in his composi-
ton ia evident from the following incident:
While hearing case in - Court the at"
torney stated ia his plea that he believed one
of the jurors was intoxicated. The Judge,
addressing the man alluded to, said
"Sir, are you drunk :"
