1t seems foolish for a murderer to bear
about with him a proof of his guilt, but do
we not carry with us the marks of our crimes,
whether they are great or small?
The girl who is sweet and charming in so
ciety, but shrewish, idle and selfish at home
with her sisters, the servants, and even with
her old mother, deceives nobody. Uncon-
scous tones in her voice and flashes of her
eye tell the truth.
Many boys and young men, who lead out
wardly respectable and virtuous lives, in
dulge in secret designations which they fancy
remain undiScovered but lines upon their
faces appear, memorable as the writing on
the wall, which told Belshazzar's guilt and
prophesied his doom.
The flush on the skin, the dull eye, the
tainted breath, are proofs silent and unan-
swerabe as the scarlet thread that convicted
the murderer. Even the deeds we do but
plan, and dare not commit, leave their stain
upon us.

Until the trembling hands

While white lips pray.

Carried no tired mothers far away
From their fond world, and SO
They fan would 20

A child claspcd to the breast.
So weary STOPPING low

For loved ones, young or old; no cheeks to touch
With kisses, rs they sleep, or such

Dearer than diadem Of kings.
The wenricst hand

No lips to call for it, in truth,
From purple dawn till nighttime wealth to hold
Dearer than frcttcd gold.

According to any creed woman's place is
wherever circumstances beyond her control
have situated her.
If she feels a constant and never ceasing
rebellion against her environments and
Graves cnange Of conditions, the change
will come. We may whine and complain at
fate all our lives without ever accomplishing
anything. But the soul that looks steadily
in the face of its desire, makes no complaint,
recognizes no i'll fortune, but demands from
life the thing it Graves, and believes it will
be given-that soul will obtain its wish so
sure as the sun shines.
There are no circumstances which can
overthrow or circumyent the passionate re-
solve of noble, earnest soul.-lIlla Wheeler

THE YOUNG MAN IDEA.

Since the young men SO successfully
manipulated things at jamestown. there
has been, we are afraid, too much eta dis
position for the young man idea TO become
Inflated, The young man idea is very
good and In politics We like to have young
men assert themselves. But, also, it is
not best that their notions Of their great
political responsibilities should become
too top lofty. 1t is just as well perhaps
not to wholly discard the services and
advices Of the older men in the party.
Their experiences should count for some
thing. We noticed the rampant DISPOSE
ton to sit down on Governor Meliette, mt
jamestown, to shelve him as il were. and
in an eagerness to bring about q political
catastrophe to him, he has been misreprs-
sented in his actions at jamestown since
He never entered into such combinations
with non .divisienists as has been alleged.
He was simply tied to an honorable obli-
cation placed upon him by his county that
was of such nature he could not be
taken into the combination. Just the
same Gov. Mellette has done more for the
cause OF division and statehood than many
OF those who are now clapping hands be-
cause he was sat down upon at jamestown.
Governor Mellette is not fool-on the
contrary is one Of our most intellectual
citizens, a shrewd politician and still a
pretty healthy, robust citizen. He may
possibly see chance to play even with
some of the "boys" yet.
