4 WORD AND A DEED.

A little spring had lost its way.
Amid the grass and fern;
A passing stranger scooped well,
Where " cary man might turn;
He walled it in, and hung with care
A ladle at the brink;
lie thought not of the deed he did,
But jsdged that toll might drink.
He passed again, and 10! the well
By summer never dried,
Has cooled ten thousand parched tongues,
And saved a life beside
A nameless man, amid crowd
That thronged the daily mart,
Let fall word of hope and love,
Unstudied from the heart;
4 whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath,
1t raised brother from the dust,
Ii saved a soul from death.
o germ, o fount o word of love!
o thought at random east,
Ne were but little at the first,
But mighty at the last

THE SAILORS NEW BABY.

There came to port, last Sunday night,
The queerest little craft,
Without an inch of rigging on
looked, and looked, and laughed.
1t seemed so curious that she
should cross the unknown water
ana moor herself right into my room,
My daughter, o, my daughter
She has no manifest but this,
No flag floats DER the water,
shes too new for the British Lloyds-
MY daughter, o, my daughter!
Ring out, wild bells. and tame ones. too :
Ring out the lovers moonl
Ring out the little worsted socks,
Ring in the bib and spoon!
hlng out the muse ring in the nursel
Ring in the milk and waterl

PRESS

The general sentiment ofthe press of
country seems to be most strongly against
the newspaper copyright bill which is be-
ing fathered in congress by Hon. Mr..
Watterson, of the Louisville Courier
Journal. The general opinion is hat
but little good can come out of it upon
the one hand, whilst great evils may arise
upon the other, especially in the creating
and fostering of unjust monopolies.
News, like the air We breathe, is free to
all, and to restrain its circulation is the
height of folly. As well might a man S
tongue be ~padlocked to keep him from
revealing IN incident as to restrain a news
paper from publishing the particulars of
the same. 1t does seem as though this
peculiar press bill contains ''the biggest
kind of a niger in the wood pile, Sticky
secreted from sight. The freer the tele-
graph service can be made the better. 1t

too many restrictions. This is one cause
why great clamor has prevailed to the end
that the same should be controlled By the
government, similar to the post-ofice.
This method would be open to some Sc
rious objections, no doubt, but, if fairly
managed, it would give the press and the

ENCOURAGING SHOWING.

The Inter Ocean, of Chicago, in its
last Fridays edition published four col
umns of small, solid type within its
pages, principally statistical, as to the
cattle trade of its city. 1t showed by way
of careful computation that during the
past twelve months, LISP, COS cattle were
slaughtered in its midst, and of these
about 100000 were required for the
dressed beef interest. Within the same
period, 1911, 1872 hogs were killed, carved
and packed. This meat packing and
shipping business is becoming one of the
greatest industries in this country. Much
of the meat thus used was from the carcass

CONSTITUTION TINKERING.

Moral reformers in their zeal frequently
overstep the bounds of propriety and
thereby defeat the very ends for which
they are seriously striving. Gentlemen of
this somewhat peculiar stripe intend to
hold a mass convention in the City of
Brotherly Love, next week, for the
avowed purpose of bringing about a revo-
luton of sentiment which shall have for
its end the amending of the Constitution
of the United States. 1t is to assemble
under the name of the National Reform
Association. The call says the movement
seeks to strengthen the Christian elements
in our national life; enforce the Christian
Sabbath and marriage laws; place the BIZ
bic in public schools; abolish carrying the
mails on the Lords day which has been a
fruitful parent of nearly all our public
Sabbath dissertation; polygamy and easy
divorces nov SO common, and licensed
liquor traffic in any form. However
hudable may be the motives of the men
and women booming this chimerical move
ment, they are destined to ignominious
defeat by reason of the impracticability of
most of their peculiar schemes. The
needs of our nation are moral reform,
and quite extensively, too There cannot
be too much of it adopted. Religious
reform, however requisite it may really be,
is a matter resting solely between the in
dividual and his God. 1t is not a matter
of governmental inquiry, sanction or en-
forcement, Mixing of church and state
is most pernicious, Everywhere it has
proved so where the experiment has been
tried. The glory of our country is the
separation of the two, together with the
strict maintenance thereof. Let politics
repose upon one side of the fence and the
pulpit upon the other, They cannot oc-
cupy the same space at the same. time,
and any attempt to do so will only lead to
curious complications whose resultant dis
asters must necessarily be too horrible to
contemplate in the light of calm reason.
Referring to attempted constitution tink-
ering, a contemporary presents forcible
facts to the end that ''the great Magma
Chartd of the American people was rati-
fed by the states ninety-six years ago.
During nearly a century since its adoption
only fifteen amendments have been made.
Of these the first ten were adopted by con
gress in 1889, and were proclaimed to be
in force December Is, 1871. The eleventh
amendment was adopted in 1874, the
twelfth in 1904, the thirteenth in 1865,
the fourteenth was proposed in 1866 and
declared in force in 1868, and the
fifteenth was proposed in 1869 and de-
clared in force March 80, 1870. 1t is
rather a curious fact hat the thirteenth
amendment, abolishing slavery, was rati-
fed by all the states except old Ken
lucky and little Delaware. In the four
teen years since the adoption of the if
teenth amendment no less than fifty
amendments have been proposed, but
none has received the necessary two-thirds
vote" 1t is best to let well enough alone,
and all attempts TO mix matters religious
and political should be frowned upon by
every well-wisher of his country.

promises to be good from the start.
If our citizens would keep the ends of
planks on the sidewalks nailed down and

of the st. Johns on Reid street will soon
be ready for occupation on the corner
opposite. These will furnish pleasant
homes during the summer to the families
which have found limited space so much

fore next winter many of these cosy lit
tie homes will encourage our visitors
to seek permanent residence here

Causes of Discomfort.

Charleston News.
Mexico and Cuba are both threatened
with revolution, and in both the trouble
arises from the same causes. They. go by
a good many different names, but they
are simply protection carried to logical
extremes. In Mexico. where the tariff is
all but prohibition, the government, to
build up its shattered finances, has re-
sorted to an onorOus stamp tax, which
has closed half the stores and threatens
to revoIutionize the business. if not the
country. In Cuba, whose industries have
been protected" to that extent by Spain
that they no longer exist, and whose
commerce has dwindIed away to moth
ingness, the people, shut out of most of
the profitable markets of the world, are
ready to join any movement for indie
pendence, no matter how desperate. The
protective tariff idolator who sees so
much that is desirable in restricting
trade by taxation should examine into
the causes Of the present discomfort in
these countries.
