Anecdotes of Renan.

Once he and Gambetta were dining al
the same table in one Of the fashionable
salons of the day. Everybody was out
of sorts, and the dinner threatened to
become unbearably HOMOGENEOUS, when
Gambetta, abiding to the harmonious
voice Of Renan, approached him and
whispered in his ear, "Allons, NJ. Renan
the ladies are waiting; give MS bit OF
music."
On another occasion he was present
at a banquent given by Nine. Aubernon,
whose mansion was then the rendezvous
Of the celebrities Of the epoch NJ Jules
Simon was among them, and in the
course Of the repast he began to develop
an ingenious social theory. Renan,
growing tired of it, was about to speak
when the hostess stopped him by saying
wait minute or two, NJ. Renan
and then we shall be happy TO hear
you" Renan closed his mouth while
Jules Simon continued TO hold forth
At length he brought his speech TO an
end, and Nine. Aubernon rose TO call OF
Renan. Il think You had something Il
say" she remarked. Eyes, madame

TWILIGHT.

Twilight, the gray eyed child OF Day and
Night,
Comes wandering through the wood with pen
sive face
Tender as thoughts of home; placid grace
Follows her footsteps, and holy light
Strikes amid leafless boughs as childhood's
dreams,
AT sight of youth, awaken in the old.
And as watch her take her noiseless way
By glen and field and lonely water CLEANS,
Lost hopes, like buds of spring, again unfold,
And rosy light comes trembling through life's
gray.
Thus have watched thee, Twilight, long ago,
Thy coming but herald to mine eyes
OF one who followed, and who filled my skies
Not as with night, but Loves own morning
glow.

In Memsry Of Little Willie &roup.

Only little cofin-ah yesl but 1t
meant so much. Meant that q home had
been frightened and made glad by the
presence of little cherdb, seraph from
the skies, dark-haired, brown-eyed,
darling baby, around whose tiny form
the heart-strings OF uncle and aunt inn
mediately wound themselves with tender
est affection and sweetest anticipations;
and then it meant that only a few hours
later the Lord looked down and plucked
the rosebud and took it back home to heay.
en- to bloom forever more in Paradise.
The light which shone for such brief
time went out, and darkness came instead.
Joy suddenly gave place TO sorrow, and
they put the precious body in little
coffin, and carried il away to the ceme-
terry, there to lie until the resurrection
morning, when soul and body shall once
more be united, this time not to be sepa-
rated 80 soon. That home, dear reader,
was ours. But in the midst OF our sor-
row and the bitter disappointment OF our
fondest hopes aud expectations, which
clustered around the little form, we can
bat thank God for lending her to us for
even so short time. TWAS q new reve-
lation of himself--a glimpse within the
rearly gates granted 10 Us. We shall be
better in the future for having had her
that long. Our home is darker, earth
seems sadder, but heaven is nearer and
dearer to US than before, and we feel like
saying with Job, "the Lord gave and the
Lord hath taken away, blessed be the
name of the Lord"
Dear Willie, thou art gone to thy home,
Where angels and loved ones abide;
We miss thee and sadly we roam,
Till in heaven We rest by thy slde.

OBITUAR Y.
In Memory Of Little Thad.

Died, at his home near Hickory Valley,
ON Friday, June 10, 1892, little Thad
McCaskill.
"Ere sin could blight or sorrow fade,
Death came with tender care,
The opening bud TO heaven conveyed,
And babe it blossom there"
He was the beloved son of J. E. and q.
McCaskill. He was born the 10Th OF
NJ arch, 1889, and died al the early age
of three years, two months and twenty.
one days. He has been taken from us
and transplanted in the beautiful land
of Eden," to bloom for the angels. Oh
how can his parents, how can his brothers
and sisters give him up? How can We
bear to think we will never see that dear
little sweet face on earth no more, nor
hear again that sweet, child-like voice
that we loved 30 dearly? But our loss is
his gain. Although he suffered three
long months, he will never suffer more.
How hard it was to see him suffer through
those long, weary hours and not be able
to give him any relief. But just before
morning dawned, he sank to rest in the
gentle shepherds arms to awake in the
light of eternal daY. Perhaps we do not
understand why Thad was taken away
from us, but We know heaven has been
made nearer and dearer to us, and may
We so follow the Master that heaven will
be our home. We thank the Lord for
the short time he was here to brighten our
lives, and as he Is gone from earth forev-
er, we should strive the harder 10 meet
him on the ''other side of Jordan" where
sickness and death are felt and feared no
more. It seems hard to bear, yet we know
that il is best, for Jesus doeth all things
well" and we will have to bow to his
will and with Job say, "the Lord gave
and the Lord hath taken away, blessed
be the name of the Lord" SISTER.

Going to Texas.

Prot. Minter, of Tennessee, was elected
last Friday evening by the school board,
to teach the ninth grade in our public
schools the coming session, vice Prot.
Fitzpatrick, reslgned.-Bryan TEX Ea-
gle.
Prof. Minter has filled most respon-
sible position in the public schools of this
city for number of years, and has the
esteem Of the entire public as well as the
confidence of his daily associate. Pre-
vious to his location in Jackson he taught
a high grade school in Harden an county
and came here endorsed by that commun-
ity. His acceptance OF the position in
Texas is universally regretted here but he
goes to his field of labor with the best
wishes of all who know him, and espe-
cially the hundreds of children whom he
has taught here. The Wing adds its en-
dorsement of Prof. Minter to the many
others, and recommends him to the peo-
