FAuLr FIxDlSc.-The old adage runs
in this wise, Speak Of ones faults be-

back but to this cannot agree.
In rcproving a friend, we should act
cautiously and gently, not to offend or
wound, and it always has better eff
feet when the rcproof is given private

wounded by having their faults para.

weaknesses betrayed by, perhaps, some
loved one. / have seen children Of SEN

A TERRIBLE THIRTY MINUTES HIsroR,

A TERRIBLE THIRTY MINUTES HIsroRY
East Wayne County (Tenn.) Citizen
says Mr.. Kyle was at near neighbours
house-raising, and Mrs. Kyle, with the
smaller of her two children, went to a
spring near by, to do her washing. At
ter being engaged some time, she heard
q scream from her little girl, whom she
had left at the house, and Fastening to
the scene. it was her horror to behold
. large rattlesnake lying there with its
fangs fastened in the child's arm. She
succeeded in killing the snake. and
then, thinking of her child, which she
had left at the spring, FASTENED there,
only to find that this one had climbed
up to the tub of water, fell in, and was
drowned. This nearly crazed her, and
she ran with all her might to the neigh
boris where the house-raising was, and
screaming with excitement, called to
her husband, who at the time was upon
the building. and he through excite
ment, in trying to get down, pulled a
piece of timber off upon him and fell
killing him Instantly. The friends then
went back to where the child and snake
were, only to find each dead lying on
the floor: This all happened within
thirty minutes.

FINANCIAL INCOMPETENCE or THE LITER
AIRY CHAaacrgR.-lt is not often that lit
crary men acquire wealth, nor Is it
common to find that even those who
have amasscd competence leave
much behind them when they die.
Charles Dickens died comparatively
wealthy, but by far the greater part of
his fortune was derived from his read
ings. which were more dramatic than
literary in their character. Dumas the
elder left fair amount of property.
and Macaulay was in easy circumstan-
ccs. But of what may be called the
second class Of literary men, which en-
braces tho majority, the tendency is to
live rather profusely, when fortune
smiles, and to die without making AL.
equatc provision for the surviving
members of the family. Take, for cx-
ample, some notable recent deaths of
English his'aeurs. Here we have
Douglas Jerrold, John Lccch, Mark
Lemon and Shirley Brooks, all dying
so poor that it is found necessary to APP
peal to public charity in behalf of their
families. Yet it cannot be asserted
that these were neglected by the world,
that their talents were nnapprcciated,
that their labors were poorly remurncr-
atcd. On the contrary, each one Of
them was in his time in the profession,
sought after far and wide, and able to
command the highest market price for
all his productions. Mark Lemon, as
the editor Of Punch, received salary
Of $4,000 a year. Douglas Gcrrold
drew considerable revenue from his
books, and was a steady contributor to
various magazines and periodicals.
The pencil of John Lcech was without
a rival in his own line, and his work
was worth almost its weight in gold.
And Shirley Brooks, the last Of the
four, while he is said to have made no
less than $4,000 q year during the
last ten years Of his life, yet left to his
family only the amount of an insurance
policy, which secures them pittance
Of $3.50 per annum. The truth is Chat
the literary man is good deal like the
proverbial shoemaker's wife. His wife
is frequently passed in the contempla-
ton Of scenes of misery resulting from
lack Of forecast and provision. i His
keen imaginative faculties present to
him in the most vivid manner the un.
happiness and the folly of such negli-
gence. Yet, almost because he sees SO
