The Death Of Hood.
ny PAUL II. HAYI

The, maimed aud brokop warrior lay,
by his last foeman brought 10 bay!}Rl
No<bouuds Of battlefield were .here-vi
The drums deep bass, the trumpet'sl flare.
No lines Of swart' battaliops broke
lnfuriate through the sulphurious smoke.
But silence held tho tented ROOM
An ominous hush, an swful gloom
Save when, with foverish .moap,r he stirred
And dropped some faint, half muttcrcd word,
Or outlined iu vague, shadowy phrase,
The ohangeful scenes of yerishcd daysl
What thoughts on his bewildered brain,
Must then have flashed their binding painl
The past and future, blend in one,
Wild chaos round life's setting sun.
But most his spirits yearning gaze
Was fain to pierce the futures haze,
Aud haply view what fate should fiud
The tender loves he left behind.
20 Godl outworn, ,despondent, poor,
tarry at doqth's opening door,
While subtlest tics Of sacred birth
Still bind me to tho lives Of earth.
Flow can in calm courage die,
Thrilled by the anguish Of cry
/ know from orphaned lips shall start
Above fathers pulseless hearth" rr
His eyes by lingering languors kissed,
Shone like sad stars thro' autumn mist,
And all his being felt the stress
Of helpless passions bitterness.
When from the fever haunted room,
The president hush, the ,dreory gloom,
A blissful hopo divinely stolo
Ger the yexed waters Of his soul,
That sank as sank that stormy sea,
Sabdued by Christ in Galilee.
1t whispered low, with smiling mouth
"sho is not dead-thy quccnly South.
And since for her each liberal vein
Lavished thy life, like vintage rain,
When round the bursting wine press heet
The Icnian harvesters' orimsoncd feet
And since for her no CALLING curb
Could bind thy patriot will superb.
Yea! since for her thine all was spent,
unmeasured, with grand CONTEND
Soldier, thine orphaned ones shall rest,
Serene on her imperial breast.
Her faithful arms shull be their fold,
In summers heat, iu winters cold;
And hor proud bcauty melt above
Their weakness in majestic loyen'
Ahl then tho expiring hcro's face,
Like Stephens, gIowed with rapturous grace
Mad missiles of morbid mood,
Hurled at his head in solitude,
No longer wounding, round it fell,
Peaco sweeteued his supreme FAREWELL
For sure the harmonious hope was true
. South! he leaned his faith on you!
And in clear vision, ere he died,
Saw its pure promise justified.

THINGS MONEY CAN'T DO.

Some boys and girls have an idea
that money can do almost any
thing, but this is mistake.
Money, it is true, can do a great
deal, but it cannot do everything.
l could name you a thousand
things it cannot buy. 1t was
meant for good, and it is a good
thing to have, but all this depends
on how it is used. Ifused wrongly,
it is an injury, rather than a bene-
fit. Beyond all doubt, however,
there are many things better than
it's, and which it cannot purchase,
no matter how much we may have
oft.
If a man bas not good educa-
ton, all his money will nevcr buy
it for him. lie can scarcely ever
make up for his carly waste of
opportunities. lie may say, as 1
have heard Of men saying: "I
would give all [ have if l had only
a good education and well train
ed mind;" but he will say it in
vain. lis money alone can't OBJ
tain it.
Neither will wealth itself give a
man, or a woman, good manners.
Nothing, next to good morals and
good health, is gilmore Importance
than easy, graceful, selfpossesscd
manners. But they can't bo had
tor mere money.
A man who is what is called
"shoddy," who has not taste and
correct manners, will never buy
them-though he would, no doubt,
like it. They are not to be had
in the market. They are nowhere
tor sale. You might as well try
to buy sky or cloud, or sunbeams.
Money can't purchase good
conscience. If a poor man, or a
boy, or girl--any ono has a clear
conscience that gives off a tono
like a sound bell when touched by
the hammer, then be sure he IS
vastly richer than the millionaire
who does not possess such a con-
science. Good principles are bet
ter than ,golq.s. All the gold of
Golconnda. couldn't buy them for a
man who hasn't, them already.

MAXINE DRUNKEN DEscEN-

1 e
EDANTs. -Drunkards are made in
two ways byhabit or by Inherit
ance; the latterssis the more hopo-
less form, because the appetite is
more sremorseless more unap-
peasable---it' is, insfact, a part Of
tho nature Of the unfortunate.
Threo-fourths Of the idiotic chill
dren in Massachusetts asylums
were born Of parents one or both
of whom drank liquor. But if the
father and mother were strictly
temperate, yet,. ,.if during the few
months previous to the birth of
the child the mother uses spiritu-
GUS liquors for any cause, just in
proportion as she does so, the child
will inherit the appetite for strong
drink. But if the mother is strict
ly temperate during tho whole
time previous to tho ehild's birth
and yet if while she nurses it she
drinks ale or beer, or porter OF
spirits, "to make milk" or tor any
other cause, or gives the infant
food or drink mixed with liquor,
the child will be impregnated with
the love Of it. Thus it is that the
surroundings impress upon the
child its physical and moral char
acter; hence the Improvement of
the race must come from maternal
Influence, and hence the hope of
mankind for the amelioration of
tho condition Of society in the
future, its improvement in the
physical constitution, in mental
yigor and moral power, arc found
ed in the proper education OF
daughters in maternal and domcs-
tic duties, and higher apprccia-
ton OF their vast responsibilities
in the directions above suggested.
On the other hand, man comes in
for his share in the great work, as
a father and husband, by giving
his cordial cooperation to the
same great end by all the means
possible to- him in labor, self-de.
NAL, and generous sympathics.---.

characteristics OF the Arizona Cowboy.

The untamed cowboy generally sports
large six-shooter, belt, knife, re-
peatlng rifle and huge pair of spurs;
while the mustang which he rides is
supplied with Spanish saddle and
held in check and guided by huge
Spanish bit. Herding cattle being his
vocation, nothing delights him more
than wild chase after an untamed
steer; and, being splendid rider,
neither an Apache nor soldier can get
the best of him ON the plains. Some
times he is an American, sometimes q
Mexican, a half-breed, or Indian; but
no matter what his nationality may be,
he is as uncivilized as a grizzly bear
and reckless as a savage.
He would be as much out of place in
parlor as a wolf in sheep-fold or an
alligator in bird-cage; but, properly
mounted, his saddle ornamented and
his animal trained to carry out his
slightest wish, he does not serve as bad
subject for an artist, and his physique
and horsemanship are universally
praised. Quick, wiry and intrepid,
often generous and humane, his ever
SUI generiS, and many are the stories
told of his bloodthirsty career. Orig
inally he belonged to Texas, and was
generally known as the Texas ranger;
but, with the increase in stock-raising
farther west, he has finally came upon
the railroad, and is now found on every
range from Tucson to Santa Fe. He it
is who has made life on the border un-
safe for immigrants, who does the
shooting in most of our frontier towns,
and who is fast becoming terror to
the citizens of the section which he
chooses to visit. Like 1.-THE bad man
from Bodice" fear to him is an unknown
quality, and the greater the danger the
more desperate he seems to become. =

1 Life-Saving Lesson in Physics.

1t is we'll known fact that any per-
son of average structure and lung ca
pacity will float securely in water if
care is taken to keep the hands and
arms submerged and the lungs full of
air. Yet in most cases persons who
are not swimmers Immediately raise
their hands above their head and
scream the moment they find them
selves in deep water. The folly of
such action can be impressively illus
trated by means of half-empty bottle
and couple of nails; and the expert
ment should be repeated every house,
hold until all the members-particu
larly the woman and children-realize
that the only chance for safety in deep
water lies in keeping the hands under
and the mouth shut.
Any short-necked, square-shouldered
bottle will answer, and the nails can
be easily kept in place by rubber band
or a surfing. First ballast tho b.,toic
with sand, so that it will just float with
the nails pointing downward, then by
turning the arms upward, the bottle
will either be forced under water al
once or will be tipped over so that the
water will pour into the open mouth,
and down it will 90. To children the
experiment is q very impressive one
and the moral of it is easily understood.
The vital value of this precaution was
strikingly illustrated near Accomac c.
H., Virginia a few days ago. A niece
of the Hon. John Nicely, while bathing,
was swept off into the ocean by strong
current and soon disappeared in the
high breakers. AS she could not swim
her companions gave her up for lost.
Two young fishermen who were en-
ployed some distance away thought.
fully set out with small boat in search
of her, and when mile or more from
shore, found her floating on the water.
She had been drifting nearly an hour
and was greatly exhausted, but soon re.
covered. Unable to swim she had
pluckily floated, thereby making her
rescue possible. Scientific american.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.


The deanery OF Westminster has
been rendered to Rev. Henry Montague
Butler, head master of Harrow School,
who will doubtless accept.
The fund left by the late Mrs Will
Jams, of Norwich, Conn, for the build
ing and endowing of school for young
ladies in New London, is now valued at
500, 900 in personal property, and $685.
900 i'll real estate, besides the site, which
is worth $1,000
=" Antioch Circuit in Middle Ten
nessee is so exclusively Methodist ter
ritory that, although it is fifteen miles
square, there are no other religious or
CARNATIONS within its bounds. There
are about seven hundred Methodist
church members there.
Last year there were in the Phila.
delphia public school 1888 women
teachers and only seventy men.
The averages annual salary paid in that
city is S4S6.14. 1t is reported that the
most competent teachers are leaving
the schools, as salaries are constantly
growing smaller.
The Hebrew Synagogue at New.
port, which was built several years ago
by Judah Touro, who also gave so, 00C
to support rabbi, is to be reopened
soon with imposing ceremonies. Jews
were SO scarce that the synagogue was
closed soon after it's opening, but there
are now enough to form a congrega-
ton, and the $4,000, which has been
managed by the city, has been swelled
to 500, 900.
The g Church of Jesus" in Mexico
receives about $4,000 year for its
evangelical and missionary work 1t
needs about 100000, for which it
makes earnest request. This Church
aims to enlist all the Protestant denom-
nations in the work of evangelizing
Mexico. Thus far it has not been very
successful in this respect, as several of
the denominations have missions of
their own, which they prefer to keep
up. The missionaries now begin to find
that the Mormons are bound to give
them trouble. Many Mormon mission
aries are in the northern part of Mexico,
where they find plenty of proselytes
among the ignorant Mexicans. Very
many Mormon tracts are scattered
among the Mexican people.
In connection with the Delaware
Methodist Episcopal Conference is a
voluntary society called Daughters of
the Conference This is an organiza-
ton of the sisters whose object is to
help along the superannuated preach
ers and the widows and orphans of de-
ceased members. One of the sisters
made speech before the Conference
which is described as " well expressed,
thoughtful and eloquent" No higher
compliment than this could have been
paid on the speech had it been delivered
by one of the brethren. The sisters
who compose this organization are do
ing very useful and commendable
work, and setting an example whose
imitation in other Conferences will do
much to relieve the distresses of some
who are left in an extremely needy con-
