PITh AND POINT.

Marriage would be more frequent
ly a success if fewer men and women
were failures.
"A man never knows what he can
do until he tries; and then, afterward,
he is often very sorry that he found
out.
He is happy whose circumstances
suit his temper; but he is more excel
ent who can suit his temper to any
circumstances.
One of the mistakes in the con-
duct of human life is to suppose that
other mems opinions will make us
happy.
To an honest mind the best per-
quisites of place are the advantages
it gives a man of doing good-Addi-
son.
AS charity requires fOrgetfulness
of evil deeds, so patience requires
forgetfulness of evil accidents -

Our lives are like some compli-

wall, and delivering the finished
fabric on the other. We can not cross
the barrier and see the end. The work
is in our hands-the completion is not.
Pain and pleasure are so intimate
ly interwoven In our human life that
either alone seems to be incomplete.
1t is for us to accept them both; not
for their own sakes, but for something
higher than either, that we have at
heart and that will make all sacrifice
easy and all burdens light-N. Y.

to make as much as possible of what

a GREAT TROUBLE.

The Plan by Which Dolly Sweet Paid
for and Was Cured of Her Car eless
Habit.
'Oh dear, l have dreadful trouble"
sighed Dolly Sweet. '1t seems as if |
couldn't bear it. Nobody knows how l
feel"
'What great wave of sorrow has
rolled ever you now, Puss?" asked
brother Ben, looking up from his
Latin. "Isyour cake all dough?"
''You know I haven't any cake.
You are laughing at me, You'd think
it was troubled" sobbed Dolly.
s'Tell me all about it," said Ben.
'Who knows but l can find way out
of it?"
There isn't any way out of it, "
said the little girl. ''You see mamma
has got the idea that l am careless.
'Tisn't so; I'm just as careful, but
some way my things get out of sight.
Last week one of my rubber over
shoes got lost, and then | couldn't find
one of my new red mittens, and my
handkerchiefs are always losing; and
80 mamma said if 1 lost any thing
more, l should have to earn the money
and pay for it. She said 'twould teach
me to be careful"
Your mother is wise; it's good
plan," laughed Ben. But l would
not cry yet.
''You don't know the worst, said
Dolly. This morning l borrowed
mammals pearl-handled pen-knife, and
tonight put it in my pocket just as
careful, and 'tisn't there, and mamma
says I'll have to pay dollar"
Ibid she know you borrowed it?"
asked Ben.
Dolly hung her head.
Il asked her if 1 could take it to
sharpen my pencil, " she said, very low;
fbut may be she didn't know how l
wanted to take it to school,"
II should think not" said Ben. ''But
how will you earn the monev? I've
got little could lend you.
Mamma says IU'e got to earn it, "
said Dolly. She'll pay three cents
every time 1 wipe the supper dishes,
and four cents if go without dessert
for dinner. How long will it take to
earn a dOllar?"
Just about two weeks" answered
Ben, eff you don't miss any days"
There were signs of another tear
shower, which the kind brother hast
ened to avert.
81 don't see as 1 can wipe your
dishes, or divide my pudding with
you," he said, ''fOr in that case l sup
pose you couldn't earn your money,
but I'll do this: whenever you wipe the
dishes clean and bright, without any
tears, or frowns, I'll give you ride
down the long hill on my traverse
VIII that help any, Puss?"
''Oh goodyr' cried Dolly, the tears
giving place to smiles.
"And I'll give you the first one
now," said Ben. Put on your wraps
and we'll have a jolly slide"
When Dolly came back her face was
so bright you would not suppose she
had ever had any trouble.
For two long weeks she wiped the
supper dishes, and went without des-
sert for dinner. 1t was hard and they
all pitied her, but there came day at
last when Dolly stood before her moth
er, with bright face.
There, mamma, I've earned the
dollar to pay for the knife, she said,
''and I'm so glad"
81 am glad, too," said mamma.
"And think, little daughter, that you
are improving You haven't lost any
thing for week-have yOaP"
NO" said the little girl, ''only a
lead pencil; but l most lost button
off my cloak. Will you please sew it
on? put it in my pocket. "
II don't find it, said mamma, look
ing in all the pockets.

GATHERED IN BY DEATH.

The Rev. J. Rosamond Passes Away in
This City-Deaths Elsewhere.
The Rev. DIR. ]. Rosamond died at
o'clock last evening, after months Of quiet
suffering, at his residence, No. l04 Court

and eldest daughter, Mrs. DIR. ]. r. Pow.
ell, who were at Corinth, both Of whom
were telegraphed for.
His funeral will occur at o'clock this
afternoon, from the residence, the Rev.
Eugene Daniel officiating.
Deceased was perhaps the oldest Presby-
terrain minister in the South, having been
born In 1900, and it was the weight OF
years. that caused his death. DIR. Rosa
mond was ordained to the ministry early
in life, and was shining example OF
Christianity pure and steadfast An afflic-
ton put upon him years ago, which de-
prived him TO very great degree Of the
sense OF hearing, and also impaired his
voice, caused him to retire from active
life in the pulpit, and for the
past two or three years he has seldom
left his home. He has been identified
with the Southern Presbyterian Church
since its separation from the Northern
branch, in 1862, and has ever been re-
garded as one OF its most scholarly ex-
Founders. He has also served his church
and country as a faithful and efficient edu-
Gator, being at various times in his life
president OF high schools OF learning.
Deceased leaves a wife, two daughters,
three sons and three devoted grandchild
rem 10 whom the sympathy OF the com
munity will go out in their bereavement.
Two years ago his happy home was in
vaded by death, which took his eldest
daughter, the first visitation for twenty
years or more, and he never entirely recov'
cred from the shock.
