A Word to Farmers Sons.

Farmers sons are quite apt to
suppose that they can only attain
any coveted position in life through
an avenue of some trade or profes-
sion. They look about and find the
wealthy men nearly all belonging to
these classes. They do not stop to
consider that only the wealthy ones
comes to view; that for every one
of those who has acquired wealth
and distinction ninety-nine others
have failed and disappeared; OF
have never risen to notice at all
They act on the belief that they
are the only persons that can be
called into public life, ignoring the
fact that it is in the training they
get which constitutes. the difference
rather than calling. "A farmer oi

lawyer, would we believe, find him.

Curious Capture ofa Deer,

Last Monday morning while our
citizens were gathered in groups in
the square of the courthouse taking
on the events of the day q wild deer
came bounding in among them, and
before they could recover from their
surprise he was making desperate
efforts to jump the fence at the op-
posite corner, near the old Record
er's office. A crowd of persons
frightened him out Of that place,
and when he arrived near the Asses
sor's office Judge Ducote fired at
him with shotgun from outside
the fence, three buckshots taking
effect, but by no means "bringing
him to-" Then the people present
took it upon themselves to catch
his deership. After capsizing sever
al persons engaged in capturing him
the deer was caught and immedi-
ately b!ed. He was a nice, young
fat buck, and vcnsion was on that
and the succeeding day served on
many tnl,lna Tho higl, water in the
swamp has compelled the deer to
seek the highlands and they are
almost daily in our woods. This
one must evidently have been pur.
sued by hunters, and making his
escape ran toward our town where
he met the fate related above

Why a Publisher rallied.

Says the editor of the Denison
Texas Democrat: "There is q
man at present living in Denison,
who thought he coold run a newspa-
per- His idea was to adopt the SEN
sational style, so he let out, and in
a week his partner dissolved with
him, but he still kept on, and in two
weeks he had been whipped twice,
had locked himself up in his room
once, had been put into the Gala
boose three times and paid over a
hundred dollars in fines. He saw
this would not pay, and he dropped
down to the conservative whine, and
all mis- old customers quit reading
the paper. Then he published an
anti-prohibition article, and all the
churches and temperance people sat
down on him. Then he let tenn
perance article go into his paper,
and the whisky men at once refused
him credit for drinks. Then he
tried blank verse and his exchanges
published him fool.
Then he wrote poem and his
wife threatened to leave him.
Then he went in on obituaries,
and the relatives Of the party de
ceased mobbed him. Then he did
nothing for two weeks, and adver-
tisers all withdrew their cards.
That man was oarself."

Those SO well loved to seef
So, in the lonely hours, father
They'll be companions for me

What is a Home.

A home is place where charac-
ter is formed, where education goes
on, and where people are impressed
for time and eternity. lis place
to be happy in, and to start out for
all good, honest, and earnest living.
Very great is her responsibility who
is queen of this kingdom. To a
very important extent she makes or
mars it's completeness. A freatful
fault-finding, narrow incapable
woman, in the position of a wife or
mother, can cloud a home with mis-
cry, while still she keeps house
well, and scrubs floors till they are
white as snow. But the recording
angel, surveying her performances
will surely say: This ought you to
have done, and should not have left
the other undone.' In a home. there
should be liberty without license,
time for family intercourse, and
space for personal solicitude, room
for the entertainment of guests, and
the maintenance of social life, and
over all tender, trustful daily at
mosphere of true devotion or COM
munion with God. All this is not
wholly but largely in the hands of
her who is the central thought and
the well-spring of pleasuse in every
Christian home, the dear, honored
and gracious mother. Let nobody
who is housekeeper fear to man
age her office. 1t is a very sacred
one and if she performs its duties
faithfully, she is worthy of great
praise.

Grace in Conversation.

Endeavor always to talk your best
before your children. They hunger
perpetually for new ideas. They will
learn with pleasure from the lips of
parents what they deems drudgery
to learn from books; and even if they
have to be deprived of many educa-
tional advantages, they will grow up
intelligent if they enjoy in childhood
the privilege of listening daily to
the conversation of intelligent peo-
pie. We sometimes sec parents i,
who are the life of every company
which they enter, dull silent and
uninteresting at home among their
children. If they haye not mental
stores sufficient for both, let them
use what they have for their own
households. A silent home is 3
dull place for young people, a place
from which they will escape if they
can. How much useful information
on the other hand is often given in
pleasant family conversation; and
what unconcious but excellent men,
tai training in lively social argu-
ment! Cultivate to the utmost the
graces of conversation.

True Bravery.

The best way for a man to get
out of lowly position is to be con-
sniennnsly affact;un in IL Man can
not dream himself into noble char
acter; he must achieve it by diligent
effort, The resolution of a moment
with some men, has been the turn
ing point Of infinite issues the
world. The grandest of heroic
deeds are those which are performed
within four walls and in domestic
privacy. True bravery is shown by
performing without witness what
one might be capable of doing be-
fore all the world. Do not coyet
that which Is not lawful for thee
to have. Do not have that which
may hinder thee and deprive thee OF
inward liberty. Every human be-
| ing has a week to carry on within
duties to perform abroad and in
fiuences to exert, which are pecul-
iarly his, and which no conscience
but his own can teach.

Gems of Thought.

Vice itself loses half its evil by
losing all its grossness.
Hypocrisy is the homage vice
pays to virtue.
All that live must die, passing
through nature to eternity.
Touchstone by which men try US
is often their own vanity.
Who ever knew truth put to the
worse ip free and open encounter. /?
All uphill work when we would
do; all down-hill WORK when we suff.
er . s..rf5
Half the ills we hoard in our
hearts are ills because we hoard
them.
The two powers which constitute
wise man are those of bearing and
forbearing. . -.s
The art of poetry is TO touch the
passions, and its duty to lead them
on the side Of virtue.
How many lessons of faith and
beauty we should lose If there were
no winter in year! &
Rapture is often cooled by contact
with its cause, especially If under
awkward cono.s:~7,s.
To spend too much time in study
is sloth; to use it too much in orna-
mentation is affectation.
No life can be utterly miserable
that is lightened by the laughter
and love of one little child.
Nothing of worth or weight can
be achieved with half mind, with
a faint heart and with a lame en-
deavor. .....
The firmest friendships have been
formed in mutual adversely; as iron
is most strongly united by the
fiercest flame.
A good book is the precious life
blood of master spirit embalmed
an6 treasured up on purpose for q
life beyond life.
There is much littleness in trying
to be great. A man must think a
good deal of himself, and be conceit-
ed enough to believe in himself be-
fore he tries at all.

Power Of a Sweet Voice.

There is no power Of love so hard
to get and keep as q kind voice. A
kind hand is deaf and dumb. 1t
may be rough in flesh and blood,
vet do the work of soft heart, and
do witha soft touch. But there
lis no one thing that love SO much
needs as q sw:et voice to tell what
1t means and feels; and it is hard
to get it and keep it in the right
tone. One must start in youth,
and be on the watch night and day !,
at work and play, to get and keep
a voice that shall speak at all times
the thoughts of q kind heart. A
kind voice lie q lark's song to a
hearth and home. It is to the heart
what light Is to the eye. It is q
light that sings as we'll as shines.
Train it to sweet tones now and it
will keep in tune through life.-

A Phosphorescent Cat.

| Ihey had q Dim, old time at the
West End recently. Mr. Monkeys
boy took the family cat and rubbed
phosphorus all over him. 1t was
about nightfall when he completed
his job and let the cat go. The
hoodoo began right away. The cat
got into the barrel and began to
yowl, and that attracted the atten-
tion OF a bull dog, and he came
along, and danced about, and bark
ed, and got terribly excited. 1t
was a case adog in the light, Cat
in the shad.ler, dog full of fight, cat
growing madder." Pretty soon the
dog upset the barrel, ard went in
after the cat. But it was surprise
party for him. The phosphorus
glowed in the darkness, and he be-
held cat of fire. He came out Of
that barrel, and went of howling as
though a policeman had stepped on
him. Then the cat went up on the
roofs, where other cats do congre.
gate, and tried to chum round with
'em. But it was no go. They fed
from him rs if he were a bootjack.
He didn't understand it, and gave
chase, and, as there was forty cats
on those roofs, and as they we're all
scared and fed from him, bowling
aismally, the noise. was something
fearful, So Utset falks in the vicinity
who heard it were scared, and had
cold sweats. The cats continued
to tear around and yell so that it
couldn't be endured. Mr.. Monkey
and others got up, and went upon
the roofs with clubs. And at first
the sight Of the fiery cat frightened
them, and one lady who saw it
screamed, and fell through a sky
light, and nearly killed man sleep
ing beneath it, and made him think
Mother Shipton was right Finally
MIR. Monkey and his friends made
desperate charge on the fiery cat,
and the poor cat took a flying leap
to the street. He hit a policeman,
saving his lite, but nearly soaring
the officer out of his, as he thought
he was struck by lightning. The
cat jumped to the ground, and an
astronomer came along, and took
him Tor an aerolite, and tried to pick
him up. To his amazement the
aerolite ran. Then he was scared
too. Finally the cat got into hay
NOW, and somebody thought the
barn was afre, and they called out
the engines, and got seven streams
turned on him. He fought well, but
they fixed him. And then investga-
tions showed no fire, but only al
dead cat. And they told the sta
bleman he was q cross-eyed fool
to mistake cats eyes for a fire
and they left him. And all the
West end is talking of the mysteri
GUS fiery cat, and only young Mon |
key understands the mystery.

Proverbs as They Might Be.

A half loaf is better than whole
lofer.
1t easier to run in debt than to
crawl out again.
Always judge man by his depth
instead of his length.
No man can afford to put on airs
unless he can raise the wind.
The wheel of fortune runs slow,
because its felloes are tired.
Few men are aware they possess
a conscience until caught commit
ting a crime.
A man never swears vengeance
on his neighbours dog only when his
own canine cannot lick him.
Many a man owes his success in
life to the Kisses of his enemies, in
stead of the plaudits of his friends
