behind him a memorandum book. lot

and said:

recognized it as the picture Of his wifep'
''No!" gasped the drummer.
That's what he said. If you are his

KEEP YOUNG.
Eagle.

Don't grow old and rusty and cross,
afraid of nonsense and fun. Tolerate
the follies and crudities Of youth. Gray
hair and wrinkles you cannot escape, but
you need not grow old in feeling unless
you choose. And so long as your age is
only on the outside, you will win in con-
fdence from the young, and find your
life all the brighter for contact with
theirs. But you have too many grave
thoughts, too many weighty anxieties
and duties, too much to do to make this
trifing possible, you say. The very rea-
son, my friend, why you should cultivate
fun, nonsense, liShtness of heart-be-
cause you need them so much, because
you are "weary of thinking" Then do
try to be young, even if you have to be
foolish in so doing. One cannot be wise
all the time.

Ye send canting words Of comfort
To the kinsmen of the Gar,
Your hearts are sorely troubled
By the Peru.C Gillian war;
Ye have sympathy for Cubans,
In their struggle for the right,
But We roll your eyesin horror
At an Irish landlords fright.
Tho he be human demon,
Grinding tenants to the dust.
Searching 'mongst poor Erins daughters
For some victim to his lust,
Or razing low the roof-tree
That had sheltered Pat thro' life;
Making homeless father mother,
Frightened little ones and wife.
Tho he seized from starving children
Zen their food the stranger sent,
Or the pulling infants cradle
TO pay his cursed rent,
Ye were mute, or cold or careless,
While poor Paddy's brain was crazed,
Mid his misery and famine
Lest his rent should still be raised.
All ye cried aloud with horror
When the landlords came to grief;
Though your canting CAB and SWIVEL
Could give Boycott no relief.
And your blood from Tory sires-
That I'm sure flows in each VEIN
Grew quite chilled at deeds so daring
As to give their lordships pam.
Ye dare mate the name of Lincoln
With the dead Gar of the Russians,
Ye send maudlin congratulations
To the Kaiser Of the Russians;
Why not 10 your resolution
This outpouring of your souls
Add poseript to Siberia,
To be read amongst the Poles.
Ye have mercy for the Zulus,
Ye have pity for the Turk.
Ye applaud the warlike Afchans,
Or the gallant Beers work,
But when Erin. at whose vitals
Gaunt famine grimly gnaws,
Strikes blindly for her hearthstones,
Then We pirate about THE LAWS

TRUE JOURNALISM.
Meridian Mer'cui

MERRIAM Mercury.
That which an old Roman writer said
Of q historian, that che should never
dare to speak falsely, nor fear to speak
what's true, lis equally applicable to.the
editor ola newspaper, who is the historic
an of passing events. Indeed lis much
more than this; he is the guardian Of
public iberty-the censor Of public NOR
ais, the protector of innocence, and the
friend ofjustice and worth, and a public
instructor, hence, she should never dare.
to speak falsely, nor fear to speak what
is true" The press has suffered a mark
ed declension in the matter of indepen-
dence since the war, that has greatly
detracted from it's influence with the
masses and diminished it's power Of con-
troll over public men. Republican news
papers conceive it to be their highest
duty to berate Democrats and praise
and white-wash their own party leaders,
while Democratic newspapers rarely
touch on the errors of their own leaders,
or expose the trickery Of aspirants for
Office. This is justified on the plea that
ut is wrong and naughty to tell tales
out of school, but this plea is unsound
at the core. Even churches are apt to
act on this false and delusive plea, and
to cover up the sins of members. to the
damage ofreal religion.
Having worn the editorial harness on
our back from early manhood, it is but
natural we should fee 4 lively interest
in preserving the usefulness, dignity and
independence of the press, and in pre-
venting it from sinking into q mere
caudal appendage of scheming and un-
scrupulous politicians and greed gripping
corporations, to be wagged at their
pleasure, or into the puffer of fast girls
and ambitious men with no brains in
their heads. The dignity Of the press is
part of its usefulness-while it's indie
pendence is its frmest hold on the peo-
pie. Why should a respectable news
papers devote entire columns to the ar
rivals and departures of all the noodles
in the town where its insides are put and
stitched ups Why should it announce
the birth of all the babies and caper and

decent paper announces the reception OF

shoddyites, who could not dream of in.
viting the editor, or chronicles the pres.
ent as a cheap hat from merchant,
who wants a puff. These things are
mean and undignifed. They belittle
newspapers and degrade editors. The
trouble Is, many newspapers, with pat
ent outsiders, do NOT pretend to have ed
itors, there are no brains in the concern
and no sepse Of feeling or the dignity,
independence and usefulness Of the press.
Formerly, o newspaper could no more
get along without an editor, than a man
could without head-now, a pufter and
local itemiser, and a patent outside, "filI
the bill" We appeal to our brethren Of
Mississippi to keep up the time-honored
fame of the press of our State, and even
to raise it to the higher path for manly
dignity, dauntless independence and
lnightly courtesy.

cd the flue with smart report, and the
flames escaped to the wood work near
by, between the ceiling and the, roof.
Contrary to report, no coal oil was used
in the stove, or stave Of coal oil barrels.
The pumps Of the engine were clogged
by gummy oil and could not be made
work until too late, sad to say. None
felt more keenly than tho engine com
pany itself the terrible inability and
suspense, and it most certainly was tho
wrong time to make such a discovery. ].
All that the fircmen and citizens could
do, in the face Of astrong east wind, was
unavailing to prevent the flames spread
ing to other houses close by and in
short time it was evident that there
would be serious fire. We have never
seen more hard and honest work done in
less time, but the most oft was ill-direo-
ted and useless. A side from tearing
down and removing the little house Of
Paul Lyons, but little effective labor
was performed, calculated 70 stay the
fire. Nearly all the house, hold effects
were saved, but seven dwelling house
were entirely consumed.
The next and . great danger was from
the flying cinders, carried by the force
of the wind to nearly every house
eastward from Third street to the hay.
The people promptly mounted the roofs,
and many incipient fires were extinguish-
ed, any one Of which, if NEGLECTED, would
have resulted in destroying nearly every
business house in town A small portion
of the railroad depot was burned, but no
further damage OF consequence was
| sustained.
We estimate the total loss at $500.
The principal losers are Mrs. V. Gounar,
