mouth.
The class was visibly disgusted,
bat with many grimaces they all
dipped a finger into the bottle and
placed that same finger on their
tongues.
When the bottle came back to the
doctor he chuckled audibly.

There is one know. see her sometimes pass
In the morning streets upon her way 10 mass
A calm, sweet woman, with unearthly eyes.
Men turn TO look at her, but never stop,
Reading In those biue depths the death Of hopei
And wise chastisement for thoughts unwise.
Pure is her brow, as OF a marble saint
Her brown hair pencils Il with ripples faint,
There is no shadow on II and no light.
Her cheeks are pale, like lilies In eclipse;
Hardly little redness on her lips
+ Paints the sad smile whore all the rests white.
Tall is she, and bent forward like reed,
Which the wind toys with as she walks with
speed;
Girl-like her limbs, and virginal her vaist
OF the worid-wonders there Is none 30 sweet
As Is the summer lightning OF her feet
Speeding her onward like fawn in haste.
What il her secret? All the world has tried
To guess 1t. One knew in guessing died,
And was no wiser for his mortal pain.
Each has turned sadder from the thankless
quest,
And gone back silent, even II he guessed,
Knowing all answer would be counted vain.
I knew her once, know her not to-day
0ur eyes meet sometimes, hut hers turn away
Quicker from mine than from the rest that
Her pale cheek quivers, flush comes and goes,
AS in the presence Of soul that knows
And her hands tighten on her missal book.

Lived IN blood guiltiness, yet died forgiven

The state Of North Carolina util-
ICES it's convict labor in cultivating
state farms on the Roanoke river,
and a correspondent of the Weldon
News gives a glowing description of
the success Of the enterprise. The
farm embraces 5000 acres Of corn,
which is described as being in per-
feet condition, and from which the
state will have for sale at least 90,-
600 bushels 1000 acres OF cotton,
which although damaged by the
backward spring, is expected to
yield al least 1 600 bales of cotton I;
and 100 acres Of sorghum, which
will give 10000 gallons of molasses,
besides enough truck for the con-
victs. Really North Carolina seems
to have solved the convict labor
problem better than most states.
This brings TO mind the fact, un-
pleasant as it may be, that the last
legislature disregarded the consti-
tuition in failing to provide q state
convict farm, article 10 of that in
strumeut declaring that no convict
shall be hired or leased, after the
31st Of December, 1894, except to
work on public roads, public works
or public levees, at the discretion Of
the legislature, and that the con-
victs may be placed on state farm
and worked under state supervision

place for the residence OF those who
prefer to reside there, but there arc

do not dream aud hope for quiet
home in tho country some day.
If one lives in the country he may
go to the city for visit aud enjoy IL
much more than If he lived there. III
be lives in the country he may have
dozen neighbors whose friendship ho
values more thnn that of a whole city
full, for they are naturally more near
and moro intimate. Five-minute calls
arc extended into friendly visits Of an
hour or two, during which thoughts
may occur and be given expression.
One may also have his old, good and
tried friend to come to sec him aud
stay fortnight.
