"In the sadness of this occasion,

triumvirate of statesmen-Calhoun,

acting another stage of their destiny

voices in the council of the Union.-
Upon all great questions of public
policy each has left his indellible

Stray Thoughts.

We are all hunters in the field Of
life. Some of us bring down our
game; but most of us end in a wild
goose chase.
Were it not for the clouds that
darkcn them there would be no rain
bow in our lives.
When you read, read the books; it
costs you no more; and what you get
will correct and help to build you up.
A good book is like a voice from ma
turo or from God. Do not confound
this voice with the utterances of
falsehood.
A child is often the hyphon conncc-
ting uncongenial husband and wife.
1t is not in placing the words that
the effect of the good writer consists
it is in the thought bringing its own
word, that leaps to it like the parti.
Gle to the magnet.
We are SHINING when We think VIC
are.
Perhaps the greatest good next to
to doing good to your "neighbor," ," is
to benefit your enemy. But some
people heap Goals of fire on the enc
my's head to scorch him, thus max,
ing use of a Christian proccpt to dc
evil,
Idlcnoss is the great slough into
which the vices of the world drift
and settle, to rise again in miasma
1t should not discourage us 4 oul
kindness is unacknowlcdged; it has
its influence still.
We govern our rpassions but in gen
cral we let the passions first have Q
trial.

A Good Woman.

A good woman never grows DID,
Years may go over head, but if be-
nevolence and virtue dwells in her
heart, she is as cheerful as when the
spring-life first opened to her view.
When we look upon a good woman,
we never think Of her age-sho looks
as charming as when the rose of
youth first bloomed upon her check.
That rose has not faded yeti will
never fade. In her neighborhood
she is the friend and bencfactor, in
the church the dovout worshipper
and exemplary Christian. Who
does not love and respect the woman
who has passed her days in acts OF
kindness and mercy, who has been
a friend to man and God, whose life
has been scene Of kindness and
love, a devotion of love and religion?
We repeat, such woman cannot
grow old. She will always be fresh
and buoyant in spirits, and active
in humble deeds of mercy and be-
nevolcncc. If the young lady de-
sirCs to retain the bloom and beauty
of youth, let her not yield 10 the
sway of fashion and folly; let her
love truth and virtue; and to the
close of life she will retain those
feelings which now make life appear
a garden Of sweets, ever fresh and
ever new.

Facts for Young Men.

That boys, seldom, if ever, like the
taste of tobacco until they have re-
peatedly abused nature. Thatevery
time we take it into our system we
are allowing a deadly enemy to en-
ter, and finally take control of our
body, and that to defile and ruin.
Remember, tobacco creates an un-
natural thirst which will not be
Quenched by pure cold water, but
calls for some strong drink-hence
the vast army of drunkards.
Remember that vulgar and profane
language will surely undermine your
finer, moral nature, if INDUCED in.
How very hesitatingly does a child
make use ofvulgar andprofane words;
how the tender conscience struggles
to throw off such filth; how the first
few oaths echo and ro-echo; but this,
like the tobacco habit, soon blunts
and kills the fine adjusted conscience,
and the more such words pass the
pure lips, the inquirer the heart
within becomes; finally in manhood
we see the full effects. These vulgar
words, mingled with profanity, are
rolled around under. and over the FL
thy tongue like sweet morsel; and
some even think their statements
will not seem true without an oath
of some kind.
The soundest thinking minds of
the age agree with me in this state
ment-that you will be a better man
in the fullest, Sraadsst sense Of the
word, ifEou make. this resolve. and
stick to it,. that yo1r viii never learn
Gf you have abandon it as fast as
posSlDle) TO smoke or cheW toDac-
co, as it will rob you of some of
the best gifts your wise Creator has
been pleased to bestow on you.
Again, resolve to neverallow your
self to commence using vulgar, low
lived or profano language. For bear
in mind the little half-swear words
soon grow into double-strength oaths,
which will rob you of your noble God
given manhood in more ways than
you may now immagine.
Young men, please think of this,
and believe these words are from
your friend and well-wishor.-[Will
L. Clark, in the Growing World.

boys who use tobacco: at has utter

to the softcning and weakening of
the bones, and it greatly Injuries the
brain, the spinal marrow and the
whole nervous fluid. A boy who
smokes early and frequently, or in
any way uses large quantities of to.
bacco, is never known to make
man of much energy, and generally
lacks muscular and physical power"

A Comfortable Spouse.

A husband and wife were having
one of those arguments which occa-
sionally interrupt the harmony of a
married life. He grumbled because
there was not better fire in the
room, and declared that she always
was just so stingy in regard to the
use of fuel. She rather admitted her
general partiality foreconomy in the
direction referred to, but at the same
time asserted that sho was the sub.
ject of great improvement in the
specific point under discussion. For
proof on her part, she went on to
state that when her first husband
was very sick Che did not recovery
she really felt some reluctance to
having a fire of sufficient capacity
to make things entirely comfortable.
"But," said she, "when my second
dear departed was in his last sick
ness, I had such a tire as no reasona-
BILE man could find fault with
"And," she continued, sRhen your

loves Icy Dream.


The othy evening a patient po-
liceman pacing his beat on
Howafdss sheet. a young man passed
him eadran up a ilightof stone steps
ana rang the bell. The officer heard
the door opaf; a young lady's voice
sing ous and he said to himself;
PTih loves young dream"
He was justahoviRg on when an
othelg6ung map approached, looked
sup at the house, and in a sheepish
way asked The officer if he had seen
anyone go in. HeSas informed Of
what had happened moment before
and he gasped:

but ten minuteslater the youngman
climbed the stone steps with a pail
of water in his hand and emptied its
contents over every stone. He was
sitting on the horse-block opposite,
as the officer came back, meaning to
stay there until the plan unfolded or
until he frozo to death. He didn't
freeze. In about ten minutes the
door opposite opened, two voices
were heard for moment, and then
the young man from Cass avenue,
came down the steps on his ear, his
elbow, his shoulder-blade, his heel,
or most any other part of the human
make up. He struck the sidewalk,
shot across it to the gutter, and came
to a stand still with his head in the
snow. There was peal of laughter
from the house as the door shut, and
the watcher on the horse-block
chuckled and remarked:
"That heartless laugh was not ut
tered by woman who loyes-I'm all
huuky"
Five minutes later he carefully
crawlcd up the icy steps, and the
good policeman heard him cordially
greeted, and mused:
