An Ancient work ON Angling.

The greatest work of antiquity on
angling is said to be the Halieutica Of
Orphan. Greek poet, who fourished in
the time of Severus. A. D., 1913, from
which we learn that many articles in
fishing thought to be modern were known
to the ancients. We also learn from
Atheneus that several other writers had
written treatises or poems on fishing
some centuries before the Christian era

After Life's FitfuI Fever They Rest Well.
From the Gainesville Eagle.
1t won't do to get too close to the
Cleveland family, as in the case of Broth
er Blackburn, and Brother Tom Gibson
of the Augusta Herald. Brother Gibson
visited Washington about month ago
ON a press excursion, and of course went
along with the rest of the boys to the
White House While there he spied
Baby Ruth, toodling around unprotect-
ed, and, acting under the impulse of the
the moment, ran up ana kissed her
squarely in the mouth, as gallant GeOr-
gians are wont to kiss girls of all sizes
and ages. The incident got into the
papers, and Tom became at once hero.
The papers all over the country applaud
ed him.
Before that Tom was happy and con
tented in his editorial chair, and his
labors were bringing reasonable returns
of the wherewithal to keep the wolf from
the door and lay up trife for a rainy
day. But here an idea struck him-ofice.
The fever began to burn in his veins
then nc applied. He wanted to he consul
TO Leith, and thought the Baby Ruth in
cident would somehow prove a talisman
against the executive soup pot But it
didn't. Grover sat and listened patiently
to the good things said about Tom and
then went on with his business. Then
Tom sat down beside the Old Man with
the Scythe and Hour Glass and waited
and waited, as many man hath done
and many will do henceforth and forever.

A RECONCILIATION.

To think gave you pain
That [ my gift must rue
And take it back again.

If you or were right;
Your tears have caused me woe,
And if you weep again

And covet all your PAIN.
do not know
Nor care which one was right.
For when your dear eyes flow
cannot speak for pain,
And tear mists blind my sight
Until you smile again.
So let it go
We may have both been wrong,
Or partly SO,
But sin is purged by pain.
And royal souls are strong
To wound and heal again.

Ambition.

The man whose ambition rises no high
er than to gain riches or attain dizzy
heights in worldly affairs is on the
wrong road to happiness, and is likely to
reach the end with heavy load of sad re-
grets. No man can be blamed for cherish
inc ambitious thoughts, but they are too
often of the wrong kind, and unless he
CHANGES them to something upon which
his soul can feed he will be as far from
earthly happiness at the end OF his three
score wears and ten as he was when he
first began his ambitions journey. He
must live to make others happy, or else
he will never know wherein life's pures.
lows rest. Somebody has said that am
bition is cuse; well perhaps, it is, and
doubtless there are many whose cpl
taphs should read: ale died as he had
lived, slave to worldly ambition" but
when a mans heart joins hands with his
soul and tries to fill his home with the
rich radiance of love, bringing happiness
and comfort, joy and peace, sunshine
and gladness t. those over whom he
watches, and doing all the good he can
to others, then the poet and philosopher
must step aside with their bold asser-
tions and let the results of heaven-born
ambition speak for itself. 1t proclaims
life a success and the goal of happiness
reached. That ambition which spurs a
man onward in his noble efforts to OBJ
tain a pleasant home, and to make others
happy, is the kild that should receive
the encouragement of men and the ap-
plause of angels.

fire to pull down the walls. Part of the
Steeple was taken down, but the high
wall in the rear which fell yesterday
was not touched.
