1t is easy for one to poison a per-
sons mind concerning another.
There is measureless ruin wrought in
this world by the slanderer. Charac-
tiers are blackened; friendships are
destroyed; jealousies are aroused
homes are torn up; hearts are broken.
Let us never take up an evil report
and give it wing on breath of ours,
Let us never whisper an evil thing OF
another. We know not where it may
end, to what it may grow, what
ruin it may work: Words once
spoken can never be gotten back
again. We had better learn to keep
the door of our lips locked and say nc
evil ever Of any one. This is a ST.

How One Boy Faced the World.

Union Signal.
About twelve years ago a soldiers
widow, with one boy and one girl,
lived in Chicago. The boy was less
than ten years old-a handsome, dark
eyed, curly-haired young fellow,
richly endowed in heart and mind,
and having true, loyal love for his
mother. They were very poor, and
the boy felt that he ought to work in
stead of going to public school; but
his mother was very intelligent
woman, and could not bear to have
him do this. He thought a great
deal upon the subject, and finally
begged a penny from his sister, who
was a few years older than himself.
With this money he bought one copy
Of the daily paper at wholesale, and
sold it for two cents. He was careful
to pay the penny borrowed (make a
note of that, boys and he now had
one cent of his own. With that he
bought another paper, and sold it
for two cents, and so on. He took
up his position in front of the Sher-
man House, opposite the. city hall.
This was a favorite place with the
newsboys, and they fought the little
fellow fercely; but he stood his
ground, won standing room for HIM
self, and went on selling papers.
He became one of the most success
ful newsboys in the city, and at the
age of fourteen had laid up enough,
besides helping his mother, so that
he could afford to take a course OF
study in stenography and type-writ-
ing. He began in class of two hun
bred others. When he graduated
from the course only six remained
with him. There is something in
this for you to think about. A great
many start in the race, but few hold
on to the end. They ere like boys
chasing a butterfly. Pretty flowers
along the way attract them, and they
hear a bird sing somewhere in the
woods, or they stop to skip pebbles
in the river. 1t is only the few that
go on-right straight on-who catch
the butterfly we call "success."
Well, this boy became the best
stenographer in Chicago. When he
was only eighteen he was president
of their society. He then went to {
leading college and took the entire
four years course of preparation il
two years, and at the same time sup
porting himself and his mother by
his stenographic work for the profes
Sors. He kept up his health by reg
ular outdoor exercise and riding thu
bicycle. He never tasted tea, coffee
or tobacco, or alcoholic drinks. Hi
food was simple-mostly fish, vege
tables, and fruit. He had gOoC
conscience; there was no meannes
about him.
When he was twenty years Of age
he became the private secretary o
one of the greatest capitalists il
America. OF course, he had a larg
salary. He was clear cut in every
thing he did; there was no slacknes
in his work. The gentleman VIII
employed him used tobacco ant
drank wine; but his young private
secretary with quiet dignity, declined

Nerve Waste.
Mid Continent.

Mid Continent.
Nerve waste is somewhat new
field of consideration for people of
studious habits. People think that
the supply of vital energy is mex
haustible, and that repair goes on as
fast as waste. Then comes a crash
and they are puzzled. They should
not be. Nerves should be econo-
mixed as carefully as bank account.
You cannot get out what is not put
into the nerves any more than into
the bank. Sleep is natures way of
winding up the machine. When we
begin to get sleepless the nerves are
then exhausted; and either insanity
or some other form of nerve depres-
sion is near at hand. Railroad trav-
cling, even in sleeper, is not like a
bed. Rapid mental work for short
hours is better than a long struggle
to do mental work when we are
weary. The Master said, "Come
aside and rest awhile" and summer
vacations are as good now as then.

The Weather and The Crops.

The weekly weather and crop bulle-
tin of the South Carolina weather SER
vice, in cooperation with the United
States Signal Service, for the week end
ing Saturday, is as follows, and is en-
couraging to farmers:
The reports tor the week from the
weather-crop correspondents show that
the rainfall has been about normal, and
fairly distributed; temperature about
the average, with an average amount of
sunshine all of which has greatly ben
fitted crops.
The cotton crop has undergone a
great improvement over that of the
previous week, and while it is growing
very rapidly and much Of it is relieved
of the grass, still the fact remains that
the plant is smaller and later than tha
average for years, and must affect the
yield materially.
Rain has fallen in mCoL sections OF
the State, but in some localities it is
much needed at this time. The bene-
fetal effects of the rains were some
what neutralized by the succeeding cool
weather. But if the present seasons
continue there is yet time for 4 faVora-
BILE change in crop conditions.
The corn crop1s fair average and on
upland is reported in good condition,
the recent rains having been very benz.
fetal to this crop as it IS now maturing,
but corn on bottom lands is very young
and small.
