He knew not she stood on the very brink
OF IL at restless Ocean from whose dark shore,
Go outward bound ships that return no more.
A lovely lily. the fair young bride
Had taken her place at the strong mans side.
He said, when the quiet wedding was DER.
Little one, the wolf must ue'er come tn our

For wealth he quickly began n swift race.
To please BIN the loving wife tried to keep

Soon a beautiful mansion arose Ger his head,

Parks. gardens and orchard were now all his

But the sweet iHtie woman so weary had grown !;
She said. 10 our door the wolf will ne'er come,
Let lis Test and enjoy our beautiful home
Ambition had now found Il place in his breast.
Whenever the weary wife whispered of rest,
Whenever. in weakness, was bowed the lar

said.
For position and place III political lite,
The solid nan oftenest wins in the strife:
So | think tor a while we will keep the old way
We will not think of rast at this early day."
Paler grew the pale cheeks thinner hands long

She thou hi as she took up her burden of care.
Ii rest ever comes it will be lover there"
The day came at last-she arose ere the sun,
| Blu others must finish the task she begun.
! The weary feet taltered. the hands grew so
weak,
The delicate feyer-fiush painted her cheek.
With closed eyes she whispered. See, husband,

THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE,
By Far the Most Successful Insti.
tute Ever Held in Mexico
Better Every Year.

The session opened yesterday
by singing, after which the conduc-
tor and teachers repeated the Lords
prayer in concert. At roll call IL
number of the members responded
with select gems. The usual or
der of exercises was observed.
Civil Government by Davis is in
~Creasing in interest and the dis
cussion by the class is evidence
that all are deeply interested in
the civil affairs of WI State.
The Representatives and lawyers
of the town are quiZzed ON these
subjects with very good results.
Mr.. Edwards has a splendid class
in Mental Arithmetic. HIS drills
on accuracy and rapldity are excel
lent. Mr.. Edwards is a good
teacher. Torreyson's Physiology
class was disappointed, as DR.. Hal
ley did not bring his frog foot, the
Doctor being detained on the Rodg-
ers murder case. He has promised to
be with US tomorrow, however.
Miss Humphreys model class is
doing splendid work and the Insti-
tute is to be congratulated on secur-
ing such an excellent teacher for
this department. Prof. Peters is
the enterprising instructor in To-
ology and he scours the adjacent
hills to procure frogs, snakes and
Lizards to illustrate the lessons.
The dissection of frogs and the
handling of snakes are pastimes
in his room. We should better ex-
plain, perhaps, that the snakes are
in bottles. Mr.. Clark, the Spence
rian of Missouri, is doing unequal
led work i'll penmanship. We pre-
dict for this young teacher a bright
and successful future. It's impos-
sible for US to give an account of
all the good things that are being
taught in the Normal, but we must
say this is by far the most success
tul Institute ever held in Mexico.
The Old Audrain Normal Is grow
ing better every year and 1t is graf
flying to see how the young teach
ers of the county are coming to the
front.

THE. LECTURE.

Conductor Nelson, in d few short
sentences, introduced Rev. Mat
thews to the teachers and friends
as a gentleman and scholar well
qualified to talk on ''Words," the
vehicle of thought. Rev. Mat
thews said he felt some hesitancy
in addressing the teachers, for he
was only Il minister, which word
was derived from the root-word,
minus, and meant "little," while
his audience was chiefly MASTER,
from the word aaagaus, meaning
great" He hoped, however, to
turn the attention of the mdsteri
and mistresses for a brief period to
consider the history of words-a
history more interesting to him
than that of wars, which was merely
an account of brother Staying
brother. In the history of every
day words, he told US, We would
find the life, the advance and the
history of our nation. A word Is
the expression, representative o
thought, the ON used to purchase
convey and retain ideas, held fol-
future a well as present use IL
that great language-hank, books
He showed us how words may
at different times, have a differen'
meaning. Take, for example
"homely." He said he vas stared
at when he remarked that h
wanted a homely Woman for a wife
He did not mean ugly, but h
wanted a woman that loved to sta,
at home. Rev. Matthews told u
that the English language, like tn
English-speaking people. was al
odd mixture and was made VI
chiefly of Celtic, Teutonic, Roman
ic, Greek and other languages
The reverend gentleman's talk wa
interesting and was highly ap
preciated by his attentive audience
