He was right. Brother Ben" was
failing. It was pathetic to hear the old
man say: "Ben, my boy, you are trifie
pale to-day" or: you should take
better care of yourself, brother; you
think too much and sleep too little"

ladies one day, and we decided that
Ben" would be better for little trip

we told the old man that his brother
had gone for a change of air. But he
that we had the mirror hung again and
told him that Ben had come back.
He was overjoyed; he fastened to the
mirror. ben, dear old Ben, l have
missed you SO. l am so glad that you
came back" he said brokenly, patting
the glass gently as he spoke. "And
you'll stay with me always now, won't
you, Ben? You won't leave me again,
for we haven't long to stay now, you
and I, and something tells me that we
will both go together, old fellow"
He failed rapidly after this and soon
he could only with difficulty get to his
old seat before the glass.
ben, we're almost there" he would
say, and then he would ask us if it
were not pitiful to see Ben looking so
poorly.
Indeed it was and our tears would
start as we saw the reflection of the
trembling limbs and vacant, wandering
gaze.
The end came at last, peaceful and
calm. He had been in bed some days
in sort of half-stupor. He reused one
night and called: Mother Eyes,
father, am here" she said, gently. 81

for he is SO feeble and so fighty that he
wouldn't know how to get along with

bother you, mother, if wasn't here to

He nestled down among the pillows,
looking so happy and contented. Eyes,

THE GRIP WE HAVE TO CARRY.

For each and all in ways along,
1t matters not If weak or strong
Or whether young, or whether old.
The way be poor, or strewn with gold
There is grip to carry.
1t may be gilded, or be worn,
It's all the same, it must be borne,
There's no escape, no use to try.
The better way is shoulder high
The grip We have to carry.
Our brother just across the way
Seems highly favored day by day;
We murmur at our lot and pine.
To think he has the best Of wine,
And has no grip to carry.
But ali! his grip is tinsel-tipped,
His wine too bitter to be dipped;
We can not lift the weight he bears,
We can not know another's cares.
Till we his grip would carry.
To each and all is stinted out
The one adopted for the route,
II large or small, II old or new,
TITS suited, friend to me, to you,
The grip we have to carry.
Then let us mar h with shout and song,
Twill make thu way less hard and long,
The burden borne will lighter grow,
Till We shall almost cease to know
We have grip to carry.

ANOTHER BANK FAILURE.

Alabama, Puts Up Its Shutters.

BIKMINGHAM, June 23.-The Florence
Ala, closed its doors today. The inn
mediate cause is attributed to the spread
of false reports, which caused run on
the bank. Some codfusion seems to
have resulted by reason of Mr.. Flanni-
gan, cashier of the Alabama Banking
and Trust Company, having been for
a time president of the Alabama Bank
ing and Trust Company, having been
for time president of the Florence
National Bank. Its books showed $10,-
600 deposited in the Traders National
Bank Of Boston, but a draft on that
bank for $4,000 went to protest. 1t de-
veloped that the $4,000 had been ap-
propriated to paying certificates of
