"Why, mother you are laughing at
me. One drop, nor a dozen, nor fifty,
won't do that.''
stNo, my son; and therefore, can
not allow one drop of Will Hunts evil

training, many drops of which will |
make no impression on him."

And, doubtless, with truth-for there is

Yet, tho friend I have lost has lite nigh un-

For years had carelessly tumbled through
Not dreaming that ever the road could be
rough;
Full happy was I, though had not a wife,
Nor rampant young Cupids to kiss or to
cuff.
The morning shone brightly that looked on
And nature seemed bubbling all over
with glee;
Yet, Sir Cash took his leave and, thus, took

Temperance Fable.

The rats once assembled in large
cellar to devise some method of safely
getting the bait from steel trap which
lay near, having seen a number of their
friends and relatives snatched from
them by its merciless jaws. After many
long speeches and the proposal of many
elaborate but fruitless plans, a happy
wit, standing erect, said:
'1t is my opinion, that if with one
paw we can keep down the spring, we
can safely take the food from the trap
with the other"
All the rats present loudly squealed
assent. Then they were startled by
iaint voice, and poor rat, with only
three legs, limping into the ring, stood
up to speak:
"My friends, L have tried the method
You propose, and you see the result
nov let me suggest a plan to escape
the trap: Let H alone."

Apples for the South.

Editor Mobile Icegister:
In late issue of your paper noticed
a list of apples which the American
Pathological Society, in its recent ses-
sion at Richmond, had recommended
as highly suited to the lower States OF
the South. The list embraced some
good varieties, but, at the same time,
it left out some equally as good, while
it Wanted some not at all adapted to
the coast region; and, therefore, dis
sent from the proceeding, and beg
leave to offer my protest, through the
Register, in the form of the following
list of apples, kno,c7s to me as we'll
adapted to the Southern States in gen
eral, and the lower ATTITUDES in particu-
lar. And L would submit to you, Mr..
Editor, asking that you point out for
anything in my list that may
strike you as a mistakes:
SUMMER APPLES.
Early Harvest, Red June, Yellow
June, Red Astrachan, Summer Queen,
Cane Creek Sweet, American Summer
Aromatic, Bruce's Summer,
Yellow Horse, Robinson's Superb,
Taunton, Fall Pippin.
FALL APPLES.

A CHIRP FROM MOTHER ROBIN.
BY PEARL RIVERS.

BY Pearl. RIVERS.
See you little Mother Robin,
Sitting on your humble nest;
Learn from her my poem lesson,
Natures teachers are the best.
Other nests are lined moro softly,
Larger nests than hers she secs
Other nests are swinging higher
In the summers gentle breeze.
But the Robin is contented-
"Mine is warm enough" she saws;
Large enough to hold my brides
Through their tender nesting days.
'Smaller cradle, warmer cover,
For my little ones" she sings;
-Four there are, but see how snugly
They are tucked beneath my wings.
'And envy not my neighbors-
Redbird, bluebird, lark or thrush
For the breeze that rocks the tree tops
Rocks my cradle in the bush;
"And the same bright sunshine warns me:
By the same Kind Hand Pm fed;
With the same green earth around me,
And the same sky overhead.
Tho my dress is something palmer
Than my cousins, Madam Red;
Tho wear no vest of crimson,
And no gay hood on my head;
s'Still my robe of graver colors
Suits my station and my nest,
For the Master knew what costume
Would become a Robin nest.

After discussion Mr. Woods amenduent was

House took up the Senate bill to provide a

tive assembly are to be subject to repeal or
modification by Congress. There is to be a
Board of Public Works to consist of the Gov
dent.
MIR. Ella of New Hampshire moved to amend
the second section by making the governor an
eiectlve officer instead of being appointed and
argued that Congress and the country could
safely go no further in the GENERALIZATION of
power.
Mr.. Wood, of New York, opposed the
amendment on the ground that it was safer to
leave the appointment of Governor to the
PRESIDENT than entrust the responsibility of
bis election to population like that of the
Dlstrlcs of Columbia, and it was rejected by q
large majority.
Among the amendments was one giving fe-
male suffrage. 1t was voted down 55 to 116.

or parent should have the right of action to
recover for injuries to person or property,
