An eminent writer has said:
"When you educate a boy, you
perhaps educate man, but, when
you educate a girl, you are laying the
foundation for the education of fam
ily." He might have added that to
this end the physical training was of
equal importance with the mental.
In there days the subject of the
physical training of young men is
occupying much attention, and the
discussions are broad and full of in
terest. The fault is, that the need,
of both sexes in this respect are not
equally considered.

"GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY"

She stood at the bar of justice,
A creature wan and wild,
In form too small for a woman,
In feature too old for child;
For look SO worn and pathetic
Was stamped on her pale young face,
1t seemed long years of suffering
Must have left that silent trace.
"Your name" said the judge as he eyed hel
With kindly look, yet keen,
'1s-?" "Mary Mcguire, if you please, sir.
"And your age?" al am turned fifteen,
"Well, Maryland then from paper
lie slowly and gravely read
"You are charged here-I am sorry to sa
With stealing three loaves of bread.
you look not like an offender,
And hope that you can show
The charge to be false. Now, tell me,
Are you guilty of this, or nor"
A passionate burst of weeping
was at hrSt her sole reply;
But she dried her tears in moment,
And looked in the judges eye.
~ will tell you how it was, sir;
My father and mother are dead,
And my little brothers and sisters
Were hungry and asked me for bread.
At first earned it for them
BY working hard all day,
But somehow the times were hard, sir,
And the work all fell away.
81 could get no more employment;
The weather was bitter cold;
The young, ones cried and shiyered-
little Johnny's but four years old)-
So what was | to do, sir;
am guilty, but do not condemn;
toxic was it stealing?-
The bread to give to them"
Every man in the courtroom
GrAybeard and thoughtless youth
Knew, as he looked upon her,
That the prisoner spake the truth,
Out of their pockets came kerchiefs,
Out from their eyes sprung tears,
And out from old, faded wallets
Treasures boarded for years.
The judges face was a study,
The strangest you ever saw,
As he cleared his throat and murmured
Something about the law.
For one so learned in such manners,
So wise in dealing with men,
He seemed, on a simple question,
SOrely puzzled just then.
But no one blamed him, or wondered
When at last these words they heard:
"The sentence of this young prisoner
Is for the present deferred"
And no one blamed him or wondered
When he went to her and smiled,
And tenderly led from the courtroom
Himself the equity" child

them they shouldn't rebel at His
will! Ofcourse twas going to be
terrible hard for them to go out home
less in their old age, especially with
poor mother so sick and helpless, but
still they'd seen sadder things than
ever that would be. He reminded
God in the next place how different
all might have been if only one of
their boys had been spared them
then his voice kind of broke, and a
thin white hand stole from under the
coverlet and moved softly over his
snowy hair; then he went on to re-
peat that nothing could be so sharp
again as the parting with those three
sons-unless mother and he should
be separated. But at last he fell to
comforting himself with the fact that
the Lord knew it was through no
fault of his own that mother and he
were threatened with the loss of their
dear little home, which meant beg
gary and the almshouse, a place they
prayed to be delivered from entering,
if it could be consistent with Gods
will and then he fell to quoting
multitudes of promises concerning
the safety of those who put their
trust in the Lord. Yes, l should say
he begged hard; in fact it was the
most thrilling plea to which | ever
listened: and at last he prayed for
Gods blessing on those who were
about to demand Justice 1.-THE lawyer
stroked his lower limb in silence a
moment or two, then continued more
slowly than ever:
"And I-believe I'd rather go to
the poor-house myself, tonight than
to stain my heart and hands with the
blood of such a prosecution as that"
"Little afraid to defeat the old
mans prayer, eh?" queried the
client.
"Bless your soul, man, you couldn't
defeat i" roared the lawyer. "It
doesn't admit of defeat! / tell you
he left it all subject to the will O
God but he left no doubt as to hi
wishes in the matter; claimed that

Frank Fielderling's cigar Factory.

A very important industry in Clarks-
vile is the cigsr factory conducted by
Mr.. Frank Fisl1erling. lie turns out
an excellent quality of cigars, which
are sold in large quaint ties at consid-
cradle distances from GAINESVILLE. In
fact, if Mr. Fielderling has anything
to complain Of it is a lack OF local ap.
,preciation OF his industry. Our mer-
chants and home people generally
bring too many cigars from abroad
and don't buy enough from Mr.. Field
erling. sPThis is from no lack OF quali-
ty on the part Of his products, Tor his
cigars are universally pronounced
good. 1t comes more from the en-
chantment lent by distance. II Mr.,
Fielderling received better local sup
port, he would employ a larger num-
Der OF hands, and thus contribute to
the prosperity Of the town We hope
the future will develop an improve
ment in this particular.
