JAMAICA.

A large and enthusiastic meeting
was held at the Town Hall at 2
O'Clock last Saturday afternoon to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of building
a cheese factory the coming spring.
The matter was fully discussed and a
committee was appointed in each
school district to canvass every fami-
ly in town to see how many cows can
be guaranteed, and also secure SUBJ
scrlptions to the stock. The commit
tees are to report at meeting to be
held on Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 8,
when the matter will be finally decid-
ed. There is no good reason why a
cheese factory should not be built
and be a most pronounced success.

How He subdued singls- Handed u Whole

II is related of John Adams that
when Stuart exhibited his portrait of
Gen, Washington Mr.. Adams went to
see IL. After gazing at It for several
minutes he exclaimed:
"That's the portrait Of a man who
knew how to hold his tongue, which
this old fool never did!"
The portrait does indicate that the
original could be reticent, but 1t also
shows that he could control himself.
The square, massive jaw, the full,
broad-based nose and the compressed
lips express pugnacity and passion,
such rs require a strong will to keep
them in subjection.
Sometimes even Washington allowed
his passion TO have sway.
When Glover's Marblchead fishermen
and Morgan's Virginia rinemen were
engaged in a rough-and-tumble fight,
Washington leaped his horse over the
bars of the camp-fenee, dashed among
the rioters, threw himself off, seized
two brawny riaemen by the throat, and
shaking them at arms length, subducd
not only them, but the whole band

TRUE WORTH WINS.

1t isn't the thing you are doing,
But the way that you do 1t, my friend;
Not the course but the way OF pursuing
On which your successes depend.
There are prizes in every vocation,
And he is the fortunate man
Who frets not, because OF his station.
But does Just the best that he can.
'Tis not the song we call clever,
But the rendering we'll of the notes;
The music OF nightingales never
Ring true from the mocking birds throats.
1t isn't tho word that you speak, friend
But the smile or the frown that you wear
That lightens cross for the weak, friend,
Or makes 1t harder to bear.
IT'S not life but the motive for living,
Can grace to existence impart.
Not the gift can lend worth to the giving,
But the love that lies deep in the heart.
Some own q kings crown some an acre.
And he's the superior man,
Who, true to himself and his Maker,
Is doing the best that he can.

the room filed with smoke and flames.
I shouted, but no answer came save
faint groan. And l sprang in, and
found Michael stretched upon the floor"
The girl was trembling as she chung
TO his arm. She had loved him dearly al
ways, but his deed of daring had given
him new dignity in her eyes. And he
had been in danger, and sEe might have
lost him.
"There is very little harm done to
the house." she said, after pause. II
went in to-day and saw the room.
The furniture is burnt and the walls
are blackened, but the fire was soon put
out. Michael had fallen asleep, it seems,
leaving the window open and the candle
burning on the dressing table. Mrs.

occurred to him to wonder how Ann
was faring. The man who forgets God
forgets everything else. that is worth
remembering, lie was sorry now that he
had never done anything for this friend
Of old times. 1t was the first sign Of
softening, the first touch of humanity
that he had known in all these hurry
ing years.
Turning a corner of the road they
came in sight Of the old inn, and
Michael's memory woke up again. lie
saw the motherless boy led in through
that dark door by another boy of his
own age, and recalled the little room
with the low ceiling, where bright fire
craclsled merrily on winter days and
comfortable meal awaited the hungry
lad, whose home larder was too often
empty. A few weeks ago he would
have been ashamed of these humble
recollections, but illness and weariness
had surely made him more tender
hearted, and again he felt pang. AT
ter all II would have been well IL he
had kept Aaron at the works and
spared few minutes sometimes TO talk
of old days. But no; 1t was best that
Aaron should be sent away. II would
have been impossible to retain the old
friendship and give up the old love.
He had chosen the short cut TO for
tune, and IL had led him through mire
and thorns, as short cuts generally do.
As for Olive, he would not think Of her
this evening. His head was too tired TO
bear this load Of memories. The past
was gone. He would do something for
Ann Cralse, and look up some Of the
poorest villagers before he left the
place, but clover and friend" must be
put far from him for ever.

ing together, looking down into the swift
water. They raised their heads as
Michael and the farmer approached.
The girl gazed at Michael for sec
ond or two, then started, and turned
sharply away with flushed cheeks. The
man gave him one steady dark look and
turned also. And then Belthorpe sud-
denly remembered that Michael had
once been Olive Win6eld's promised
husband. II was no wonder that Jane
Challock and Aaron Fenlake should
dislike the sight Of him.
''Shall we go back now?" the farmer
asked.
His companion assented, and they
began TO retrace their steps, Michael
silently making up his mind TO shorten
his stay in Eastmeon. He had not

No more was said about the Fehlnles
or the ChalloclSs that evening, and IL
seemed TO Belthorpe that his guest did
not care TO hear much Of old friends and
neighbors. They talked politics and
discussed business matters until II was
time TO retire for the night. And then
Michael. with some slight awkward
ness, remarked that he must return to
town tomorrow.
II thought we should keep you here
week at least" said the farmer, In
surprised tone.

"She is good creature and frets sorely

had ever been soft and mcrciful in the
old days, but now they were helping
