AT HOME.
There is a story in our town of a
neglected wife, q wish there was
only one) We have already whis-
pered it to one another, and her con-
dition is even more sad than those
already mentioned, for hers is living
sorrow and all the rest arc dead.
She has only been a wife six years
and she is moro beautiful than on
her wedding day; we have all con-
fcssed that. But that husband Of
hers has come to regard her as part
of his expense account; he has lost
sight Of her in Il thousand ways that
he was once mindful Of her. She is
still neat and tasty. Sometimes |
think she is trying to win him back
again, but he is SO wrapped up in
making gold that he has quite for
gotten those sweet duties of home.
| think I'd sooner be a drudge than
a neglected lady. My work would
help to fiji my mind and save me
from many sad and perhaps unl;ind
thoughts. I have read somewhere
of a man who sold his birthright for
gold and when the gold was in his
hands it turned to withcrcd leaves
and green moss. | was just think
ing-that the world was much like

One Cause Of LaWleSSness.

The other day man at Tampa,
Florida, was convicted of carrying
concealed weapons.
The verdict of guilty was cx.
pcctcd, but the jury made a very
unexpected recommendation of the
prisoner to the mercy of the court.
The ground Of the appeal for mercy
was that many persons superior in
station to the defendant were per-
mittcd to go unpunishcd for the
same offense.
OF course the court paid no atten-
ton to this singular request. But
the Tampa jury in a laundering way
mentioned one of the principle
causes of lawlessncss in this country.
Rich criminals generally escape the
consequences of their deeds. Occa-
sionally one is punished, but in the
majority of cases the offender goes
scott free. Many a poor young man
carries pistol because his rich
ncighbor carries one. 1t is bad
reason to give for such a habit, but
men are naturally initiative. When
the matter attracts the attention of
outraged justice it does not pan out
satisfactorily. The millionaire car
rics his pistol and is not punished !;
his pcnniless imitator carries one
and is smashed by the hcnvy hand
of the law.
If such state Of affairs exists in
Tampa the jury showed that it was
dominated by Il love of fair play.
The court, however, did right in car
rying out the letter of the law. Still,
it is unfortunate that in some locali-
ties the masses have reason to be-
licvc that our penal laws are directed
against the poor and not against all
classes of cvil-docrs.-INuntu Con-
sNtutiOn.

Concealed Weapons.

' . . . . . H .
I The secular newspapers are dis
cussing the law with reference to
concealed weapons, and we are glad
to note the fact that while few ia
vor the repeal of the law because it
is not enforced, the practice of car
rying concealed weapons is con-
demned without stint. This fact
forecasts the Great ion of a healthy
sentiment among the people. 1t is
the coward'y practice, which is not
condemned IL private life as it ought
to be, that begets tho trouble, and
not the law against tho practice. In
otheI days it was the mark of the
coward and the brayado to carry a
deadly weapon Of any kind. Sew
elal suggestions have been made
with reference to amending the law
or cnacting new statute which will
diminish the evil from whose pres
cncc all classes are suffering. One
proposition is to tax the sale of fire.
arms, and require each dealer to pay
tax upon every gun and pistol sold.
The main difficulty would be to pre-
vent the sale by dealers from with
out the State, and the law would be
evaded as it is now with reference
to the purchase of liquor. Another
suggestion is to require every man
to take out a license, if he wishes to
carry upon his person a concealed
weapon, which would be cvaded in
like manner. Both of these meas
urcs are restrictive, however,, and
either would dcminish tho practice
to some extent.
The more certain way of checking
the evil would be a vigorous enforce
mcnt Of the law as it now stands.
The extreme penalty of the statute
applied without distinction would
lessen the number of violators at o
rapid rate. When men know that
a law is going to be administered
mildly, and in case they are discov-
cred that its lightcst penalty will be
imposed upon them, premium is
offered for its violation. When men
know that a law is going to be adj
ministcrcd strictly, and that its
heaviest penalty will be imposed
they arc not apt to run the risk. 1t
seems TO us that the greatest need in
this instance is strong, vigorous
public sentiment that will compel
the administrators of the law to aftiX
proper penalties for each offence
Our judicial officers are only hut
man after all, and when they recog,
nizc the fact that the people of tho
State earnestly desire the enforce.
mcnt of the law respecting concealed
weapons, the penalties after each
conviction will be increased beyond
a mere formality. Let the agitation
Of this question continue, and lei
the people speak out as they hav,
opportunity, so that it will be made
known far and wide that the law
against concealed weapons is not /;
nullity in Sonth Carolina. Next tc
the liquor curse, and closely allied
with it, the practice of carrying
deadly weapons deserves suppression
by the strong arm of the law

"A Profound Youngster.

| . . . . q .. -
There was convention of Sun
day School teachers in Illinois, and
the teachers of three counties were
there, to the number Of 400. On
the last day of the convention the
chairman announced that he would
be pleased to have tho knowing ones
think up some hard questions or
subjects pertaining to- their work,
write them on slips of paper and
submit them to him, and that oven
ing at the last session, which was 60
be a sort of entertainment, he would
answer them.
A lot of people wrote these ques-
tions and gave them to the great
professor, and when evening came
he had about fifty good old problems
in his bunch of paper slips.
The evening exercise began with
reading and. answering the ques-
tions, and though somc of them
were very cbtusc, the professor
coped with them successfully, and
impressed the. great gathering with
his vast knowledge.
Finally he ran against a question
that made him knit his brows. He
scowlcd at it a moment and then
laid it aside. When he answered all
the rest, he picked up this query and
said: ....
"l1erc is question which l con-
fess | am qnablc to answer. I sub
nit it to" tho audience, and if any
one is able to give the answer l will
he glad to hear what it is."
Then he read this query
"'Who was the boy and what was
his name who held the basket con-
tanning the five loavcs and two fishes
which fed the multitudcs p"
Nobody made any effort to answer
it, and the professor said:
cit seems that nobody knows any
more about it than do. will
have to call on the person who sub
mittcd the question to come forward
and answer it. WI! yow please DO
SOP"
TO the great surprise Of the 400
people, and his mother as well,
Frank Jones, a thirteen ycar-old
school boy, got up and modcstly
walked up the aisle. Everybody
looked at him, amazed.
The professor said:
"Did you submit this question ?"

a murmur Of astonishmcnt ran
over the audience. Here was some
thing too deep. for even the pro-
fessed ihcologia,,s Yin convention as
scmblcd. The professor turned to
the boy.
"Did you find that in the Bible p

Two Homes.

One Was 2 modest home in a small
New England city. The house had
five tiny rooms on the first floor, and
no servant relieved the mother of
the daily drudgery. But hithcr, in
the summer season, come ',ollcge
professors and people of cxquisit
breeding, attracted by the real worth
of the presiding genius of the house
hold. They honor her for what she
is in herself, and not for her posses
sions. They see how nobly she is
striving to train her children to be
truthful pure, honest, sclf-rcliant,
and revcrcnt. The children are
lacking in certain polish which
comes from daily contact with re-
fined society, their table manners are
not always according to the latest
code of etiquette, but they are tho
roughly grounded in all the true
principles OF life. Polish will come
later; because people who can de-
Sccrn the diamond Of character are
ready to stretch out helpful hands to
these and to Il multitude Of other
boys and girls who are growing up
in limited circumstances, Therefore
take courage, struggling mother.
Look into the future and measure
your boys power for good in the
years to come. 1t will be just equal
to the amount of character which he
posscsscS----nO more or no less.
The other home was perfect
contrast to this first one in all ma
tcrial aspects, but here, too, the CEN
tire around which it revolvs is a pure
Christian womanhood. Standing on
a high social level, and able to SUR
round herself with all the luxurics
which wealth can command, she sets
her lace like a flint against all extra
VACANT display. With her whole
soul she believes that we, rs a nation,
arc in danger of magnifyng the value
of our surroundings, and cheap
cning the worth of personal quail
ties. In all the ordering of her
household she declares to the world
"As for me and my house, We will
serve the Lord by living in simpli-
city," No ninc-coursc lunches arc
ever served at her table, nor are her
young daughters ever allowed to
wear diamonds, after the fashion of
50 many American girls. Nor does
she 90 to the extreme of Scorning
all adornmcnt of house and person.
She simply gives these things n sub
ordinate place. She has learned to
discriminate between what is real
and what is fictitious. No doubt
there are other households which are
founded on the same principles, but
their number is too few. Let us be
brave and earnest in the work of in
crcasing them. Much is said, and
justly, about the influence of men
like DR.. Arnold, of Rugby, and wo-
men like the late lamcntcd Mary a.
Brigham, but let us not forget that
the right kind OF home training is
needed to produce such characters.
