Wanted Generation Of Work
iuO Men


The annihilation of our system of
labor, ,ssays the Norfolk Virginian,
renders it imperatively necessary
for US to resort to severe economies.
We must alter the style of our
dwellings to accord with our
changed condition and the circum-
stances which surround US. Espe-
cially will our kitchens have to be
provided with "all the modern i'm
provemants," and so located as to
be under the immediate supervision
of the mistress of the house. The
farmer will find it to his advantage
to avail himself more than ever be-
fore Of labOr-saying machines. And
so on through every department OF
life; whatever will economic time
and labor must be studied and
adopted by our people as far as
practicable. s'
The youth of the State must be
reared with a full knowledge of the
value of manly self-reliance and
should be taught to work for them
selves. When we cease to entertain
extravagant and erroneous ideas
of the social dignity-Of idleness,
then, and not till then. will we begin
to build up our waste places, as the
trite phrase runs. This age looks
more and more every day at results,
and although the war has left US
impoverished, although. we are Op,
pressed with debt and taxation, and
struggle under a most iniquitOus
Constitution, still we have resources
within ourselves which n race of bU-
sy workmen can develop, and that,
too, with the certainty Of accumula-
ting wealth and power. This theo-
ry is not all incompatible with sound
education for our boys in the Ordi-
nary meaning of the term. They
can be students Of books, and work
also at plOw or the forge; with axe
and hammer; and a recognition of
the circumstances by which we are
teaches every thought
full parent in the State that the next
to be successful, must
be able to work with their hands as
well as with their heads.

As poison that seeks a latent path
to destroy an unsuspccting innO-
cent, and with the wings of swift
mortality strikes its fatal blow with
out warning, so does the slanderer's S
venom drip its deadly upas into the
willing cars Of sensationalists, who
gloat upon a new theme for their
morbid tastes to liuger on; BIT
reaching the thoughtful man, he de-
plores the weakness of the SANDER
er, and shudders for the poor wretch
who must be the victim Of an unli-
censed tongue. Thus these two
poisons 60 hand-in-h -haad, dealing
their death-blows, the one taking
mortal life, and the other stealing
the birthright OF man-his good
name. .. ....

JOHNNIE'S OPINION OF GRAND
MOTHERS.
BY ETHEL LYNN.


GrandmOthers are very nice folks;
They beat all the aunts In creation.
They let a chap do as he likes,
And don't worry about education.
ana sure I can't see it at all,
What q poor fellow ever could do
For apples, and pennies, and cakes,
Without a grandmother or two.
GrandmOthers speak softly to "ma's''
To let a boy have a good time,
Sometimes they viii whisper, tits true,
Tother way, when a boy wants to
climb.
GrandmOtheTs have mullins for tea,
And pies, a whole row, in the cellar.
And they're apt (if they know it in
time)
To make chicken pies for "feller.''
And if he is bad now and then,
And makes a great racketiug noise,
They only look over their specs
And say, "Ah, these boys will be
boys.
Life is only 50 short at the best; I
Let the children be happy to-day"
Then they look for Il while at the sky,
And the hills that are far, far away.
Quite often, as twilight comes On;s sr.
Grandmothers sing hymns. very low,
To themselves as they rock by the fire,
About Heaven, and when they shall
go.
And then, boy stopping to think,
VIII find a hot tearin his eye,
To know what will come at the last,
For graRdmOthers all have to die.
wish they could stay here and pray,
For a boy needs their prayers ev'ry
night;
Some boys more than others I S'pOsC,
Such as / need a wonderful sight.

Put a piece Of quick lime as big as q

with clean water afterwards. II the

"a MENSA EFT THORO," :"

Both Of MS guilty and both Of us sad
And this is the end of passionl
And people are silly-pcoDle are nnd
Who follow the lights OF fashion;
For she was a belle, aud / was a bean
And both ofrs giddy-headed-
priest and a rite-a glitter and show.
And this is the way we welded.
There were wants we never had known
before,
And matters we could not smother,
And poverty came in an open door,
And love went out at another;
For she had been humOred-I had bQen

And neither was sturdy-heartcd-
Both in the bitches and both of rs

And this is the way we parted.

Eureka.

Whom crown with love Is royal;
Matters not her blood or birth;
She is queen, and am loyal
To the noblest of the earth.
Neither place, nor wealth, nor title,
Lacks the man my friendship OWNS;
His distinction, true and vital,
Shines supreme DER crowns and thrones,
Where true love bestOws 1t sweetness,
Where true friendship lays its hand,
Dwells all greatness, all completeness,
All the wealth Of every land.
Man il greater than condition,
And where man himself bestows,
lie begets, and gives position
To the gentcst that he knows.
Nithcr miracle nor fable
Is the water changed TO wine;
Lords and ladies at my table
Prove loves simplest fare divine,
And il these accept my duty,
If the loved my homage own,
have won all worth and beauty;
have found the magic stone.
