The Palace of Truth.

Women seldom like the expression Of
a moral sentiment from a man. If in
nocent themselves, they are impatient;
if guilty, the man becomes a grayestone
in their eyes. 1t is only when they have
suffered and just escaped SHINING that
they listen with respectful admiration.
have a morbid love of truth. 1t is
wrong, know. 1t is even false to use
a microscope when all others use field
glass.
Il do not wish to marry a man.
said a young girl, ''whO has not the
means to support me in the way 1 have
been accustomed to live" The remark
was made in mixed company. Every
one was breathless with the audacity of
the confession. Sensible woman"
murmured under my breath. ''Merce-
nary thing" said my wife, who certain
ly had not married means. And yet
this is what every girl thinks; only it is
not what every girl dares to say.
There is wide distinction between
gossip and the intelligent discussion Of
character.
Il like playing with fire." said q
young girl; sit is exciting" Yes, my
dear, and fire likes to play with you.
Young man, do not squander your
self. 1t does not pay. Your friends
will not appreciate it; your sweetheart
will not like it, and you yourself will in
time come to despise it. 1t is idle to
say: Here, here is the wealth of Plu-
tus. Here is gold, rich, virgin gold,
take who will" People are too lazy to
dig and will take baser metal already
extracted, which is presented to them
without the quartz. And surely they
are right The diamond cut is far more
brilliant than in the rough. Do not let
your emotions carry you away; avoid
the generous clan. Polish your dia-
monds.
The ugliest old woman in the world,
married the prettiest young man. The
ugliest old man in the world married
the prettiest young woman. Both
women were left widows. The event
took place in modern times.
Fiammetta "has had all the trouble
of bringing her children up; and now
she is enjoying them" l wonder
whether the children are enjoying FL
ammetta.
There is an element of the ridiculous
in man who is graceful at all times
and in all places.
Religious tension is necessary to sue
cess In practical thlnSS. A man Wltn-
out faith is without Imagination. 1t is
said that George Eliot was irreligious.
This is untrue; witness her poem on
Immortality 1t was George Lewes
who was irreligious, and not George
Eliot
A child's questions seriously answer
ed supply the chief basis for that child's
education.
How 1 hate selfish woman. She oc-
cupies the whole atmosphere. She
breathes up all the air; and leaves one
gasping for lack of breath.
Next to everlasting life, says an
atheist, ''what is better than eternal
sleep?" Nothing for you. Aman who
cannot enjoy this world can hardly be
expected to enjoy the next.
Il don't like him. said young girl
of an army officer; ''his manners are
too conventional. They smack too
much of the Articles of Var"
The one thing which most agitates
the world is the dreadful question of ex-

We wish for God because He COM
pletes time. We wish for Love, for that
completes life.

More in the Man Than i'm the Land.
BY SIDNEY LASIER.

] knowed O man, which he lived in Jones,
Which Jones is county of red hills ana
stones,
And he lives pretty much by gettin' of loans,
And his mules were nuthin' but skin and
bones,
And his hogs was fiat as his corn-bread pones.
And he had bout thousand acres OF land.
This man-which his name it was also Jones.
He swOre that he'd leave them old red hills and
stones,
For he couldn't make nuthin' but yellerish
cotton,
And little o. that, and his fences was rotten,
And what little corn he had, hit was boughten
And DANCED if a livin' was in the land.
And the longer he swore the madder he got.
And he riz and he walked to the stable lot;
And he hollered for Tom to come thar and
hitch,
For to emigrate sOmewhar whar land was
rich,
And to quit raisin' cockburs, thistles and sich
And wastin their time on the cussed land
So him and Tom they hitched up the mules,
Pertestin' that folks was mighty big fools
That 'ud stay in Georgy their lifetime out,
just scratchin a livin' when all of 'em mOught
Get places in Texas whar cotton would sprout
By the time you could plant in the land.
And he driv bya house whar man named
Was a livin' not far from the edge of town,
And he bantered Brown for to buy his place,
And said that bein' as money was skace,
And beta as Sheriffs was hard O. face,
Two dollars an acre would git the land.
They closed at a dollar and fifty cents,
And Jones he bought him a wagin an tents,
And loaded his corn and his wimmen and
truck.
And moved to Texas, which it tuck
His entire pile, with the best o luck
To git thar and git him little land.
But Brown moved out ON the old Jones farm,
And he rolled up his breeches and barred his
arm,
And he picked all the rocks from often the
And he rooted it up and plowed it down;
Then he plowed his corn and his wheat in
his land.
Five years slid by, and Brown, one day
(Which he'd got SO fat that he wouldn't weight,
Was a sittin' down sorter laZily
To the bulliest dinner you ever seen,
When one o. the children jumped on his knee,
And said: "Yan's Jones, which you bought
his land"
And thar was Jones' standin' out at the fence,
And he hadn't no wagin, nor mules, nor tents,
For he had left Texas afOot and cum
To GeOrgy to see If he couldn't git sum
Employment, and he was lOokin' as humble
as ef
He had never owned any land
But Brown he axed him ill., and he sot
Him down to his Vittels smoking not,
And, when he had filled hisself and the floor
Brown looked at him sharp ana riz and swore
That whether mems land was rich or poor,
Thar was more in the man than thar was
in the land"

A good many people went into rap

Mr.. Booths first presentation at his

Irving mania so badly that their eyes
Are no longer trustworthy. I'll tell you
a little story. When MIR. Irving reach
ed Boston some of his scenery was so
knocked about that he couldn't use it.
He played Shakspearean piece with
the stock scenery of the Boston Thea

critics said that such exquisite stage

CoIored People OF the Eighth District
Want Representative.
On tho first proximo there will be three
vacancies in the board of public school trus-
tees, the time of Messrs. B. Ii. Warner, w.
II. Baum. and John II. Brooks expiring. As
to the reappontment of the first two named
there is no contest, and doubtless each will
be his own successor but in regard to Mr..
Brooks some opposition will be raised to his
being again appointed. There is no COM
plant that he is not competent, diligent and
efficient, but tho objections is based on other
grounds. The three colored members Of the
board-Dr. Charles Purvis, James IL. Smith,
and John ii. Brooks-have full charge and
control of the colored schools. All of these
members live in the seventh school division,
while the eighth division, which has over
1000 colored school children, and lies to the
east of Tenth street northwest, has not u
trustee in it, The parents Of tho scholars
think that under the existing state Of affairs
one division Is favored Mt the expense of the
other, and the eighth should be entitled to
direct representation by having one trustee,
at least, in the board. For these reasons an
effort is to be made to have a colored trustee
appointed from the eighth district. Those
seeking to have the change made speak highly
and complimentary Of the present trustees,
but If their residences were more scattered
better satisfaction would be given.
