THE SMILE THAT AWAITS NE AT

Something own that wealth cannot buy
And NOT offered for sale on the mart:
SO netting for which the great often sigh
With an unhidden void in the heart;
Something possessed by one little spot
In a corner know on earths loan,
Waiting for me in q neat COSBY cot,
TITS a sweet, loving smile in my home.
When all the world is dreary and cold,
And the cloud darkly hang DER the way.
Friendship and honor purchased with gold,
And world seems to win to betray;
Still one fond thought thro' shadows will
shine, ..saa 5@
As l back to that humble cot roam,
Feeling as rich as wealth-laden mine .
With sweet, loving smile in my home
When that bright scene shall vanish and fade
Into visions of heaven beyond .
The earth grow dim in deaths misty shade,
With the forms 80 loving and fond ~.
Yet will remain forever in mind, ...#. ..- .
Though afar in the heavens broad dome,
Tho sweet, happy face, loving and kind.
With tho smile that awaits me at home.

1 Raided the Jail for Whisky,

The sheriff of Pearson county, S.
c., never had a more thrilling and
doubtless unique experience than
that OF Friday night last A large
party of completely masked men rode
up, to the Jail in the little town of
Roxboro, knocked at the sherif's
door, and when he opened it rushed
in and compelled him to surrender
the keys. He expected, of course,
they were after prisoners to lynch
them, but was astonished when they
went to a cell in which the deputy
revenue collector had placed a guam
tity of illicit whisky for safe keeping.
After they had recaptured the whisky
they gravely shook hands with the
sheriff, loaded the stuff on wagon,
and, forming in regular marching
order, left town as quietly as they
had entered it,.

New Haven, in that state. has a slot
ma chine in front ofhis place ofbusi-
ness, which brings forth q cigar when
a nickel is dropped in the slot. The
machine does business on Sunday as
readily as on any other day. The Off

the automatic working of the ma
chine, and hewas arrested. Mr.. Cook
will fight the case, and settle the
status of the slot-machine and it's
right to work on Sunday.

Domestic Life in Paris,

Life in Paris means what itdoes in
all large cities; the good and the bad,
writes Edward w. Box in The
Ladies' Home Journal for August.
The casual tourist sees, as a rule,
only one side. AS a race, the French
are merry-making people,; their very
natures seek and crave enjoyment.
But their amusements are, therefore,
not necessarily of an order below the
ken OF responsibility. 1t has been my
pleasure to see something of French
domestic life, and to hear more OF it,
from sources away from prejudice.
The election which exists between
the FRENCH father and his daughter is
beautiful and almost spiritual. Home
and family means as much to him as
1T does to the resident of any other
city under the sun. The French moth
er is not only a cook par excellence,
but perfect type OF housekeeper. By
nature, she is quick, and she accom-
pllshes much more with less exertion
than does her English sister,. The
education of her children is as Cos
pei to her. Her religious faith is strong,
and she instills it into her children at
the domestic board and at eventide.
The parents live out-of-doors, but it
is rare, indeed, that you see children
on the streets of Paris after reason
able hours. They are taught to find
their chef amusement in the home;
and everything is done by the French
father and mother to see that the
home is attractive to. their children.
One OF the most beautiful sights in the
world is to see a well regulated French
family, where you will find the atmos-
phere redolent with domesticity.

The Penalty Of Success.

q : E y X
1Did you ever see the wife Of a sue
cessful mann" am tempted to ask,
when some one points out to me the
shining lights OF these two friends OF
mine. Not that the men are brutal,
lll-tempered or exceptionally irritable;
rather the reverse is true OF them;
they are amiable enough. Yet their
unconquerable self-absorption has
made them anything but boon COM
panions. Their hours Of labor or of
research are prolonged unreasonably,
with intervals OF moodiness some
times Of utter silence. The bubble
they follow is ever dancing before
their eyes; the fury OF pursuit is all-in-
all, and life apart from that has lost
it's charm. Their wives share in the
triumph OF course, and why should
they complain? They do not. Like
the Dutchman's wife upon his death
bed, they are resigned because they
have to be. 1t is only between the
lines OF their patient faces that one
may read the wish of the heart for the
old days to come back when things
were otherwise.-S
Confidence Of Mother and Daugh-
ter.
There are many things which a girl
should learn from her mother, and
which it would be easy for you to tell
her, If there were an unbroken habit
of confidence from earliest childhood.
1t is a mistaken idea-so utterly false
and mischievous it must have been
originated by the very spirit of evil
that there is a want of delicacy in a
mother speaking to her child of sub
jects which are absolutely essential to
herfuture welfare: How mother can
be cruel enough to let her child 20
forth to meet life unprotected by such
knowledge passes comprehension. The
tender, delicate being is placed in your
keeping. II you look back on your
own childhood, you will know that
early, very early, before you dream
OF approaching danger, the veil of ig-
norance, which too many confound
with purity, will be rent asunder by
other hands than yours. You will be
robbed Of what ought to beyour dear
est privilege.-Ladies' Home Journal.
