. An Obstinate Juryman.

A case was being tried in the west of
England and at its termination the judge
charged the jury and they retired for con-
sultation. Hour after hour passed and no
verdict was brought in. The Judges dinner
hour arrived and he became hungry and i'm
patient. Upon inquiry he learned that one
obstinate juryman was holding out against
eleven. That he could not stand, and he
ordered the twelve men to be brought be-
fore him., He told them that in his charge
to them he had so plainly stated the case
and the law that the verdict ought to be
unanimous. and the man who permitted his
individual opinion to weigh against the,
Judgment of eleven men of wisdom was
unfit and disqualified ever again to act in the
capacity of juryman. At the end of this ex-
cited harrangue little squeaky voice came
from one of the jury. He said: lam

Stray Thoughts.

For The Mirror.
Stray Thoughts.
Profanity is more or less a profession of
your loyalty to satan.
He who is, and remains true to himself,
possesses the first quality of greatness.
No man can improve in any company for
which he has not respect enough to be
under some degree of restraint.
Letters from friends are sunbeams on life'S
horizon that cheer our way and tighten la
Dor.
AS the error of a moment makes the sor-
row of life, so one good deed done is the
joy Of life.
+ A failure establishes only this. that our
determination to succeed is not strong
enough.
The less of man one is. the more he
makes of an injury or an insult. The more
of man he is, the less he is disturbed by
what others say or do against him without
cause.
We can never replace friend. When
man is fortunate enough to have several, he
finds that they are all different; no one has
a double in friendship. ....... ,-.... .......f,
If our bad, unspoken thoughts are regis
tered against us, and are written in the aw-
full account, will not the good thoughts un-
spoken, the love and tenderness, the pity
and charity which pass through the heart
and make it throb with silent good, find a
remembrance, too?

THE LOOM OF LIFE.

All day, all night can hear the jar;
OF the loom of life, and near and far
1t thrills with its deep and muffled sound,
As the tireless wheels go always round.
Busily. ceaselessly goes the loom,
In the Ii, hit of day and the midnight's gloom
The wheels are turning early and late,
And the woof is wound in the warp of fate.
Click, clack there's thread of love wove in;
Click, clack! another of wrong and sin;
What checkered thing will this life be
When we see it unrOlled in eternity!
Time. with a face like mystery,
And hand as busy as hands can be,
Sits at the loom with its arm outspread.
To catch in its meshes each glancing thread.
When shall this wonderful web be done?
In thousand years, perhaps. or one;
Or tomorrow. Who knOweth? Not you or l.
But the wheels turn on and the shuttles fly.
Are we spinners of wool for this life web-sayi
Do we furnish the weaver thread each day?
1t we're better then, o my friend, to apin
beautiful thread than thread of sin.
All, sad-eyed weaver, the years are slow,
But each one is nearer the end know;
And some day the last thread will be woven in.
God grant it be love instead of sin.

At time when we are engaged in the
difficult task of endeavoring to ameliorate
our present condition by giving our views
as gained by practical experience, and sug-
gesting notifications III the present system

aging to note that we are not alone in our
efforts to further good cause which must
ultimately triumph. The inclosed clipping
is taken from the N. Y. Sunday World of
