Bits Of Wisdom.

A young girl once heard a bit of
wisdom from the lips of very aged
woman-a woman who had rounded
the full term of ninty years, and with
eyes still bright and clear looked out
upon the inrolling waters of eternity.
The girl was impressed by the empha-
sis with which the venerable dame
said to her, Bessie never insist on
having the last word" The determi-
nation to have the final word leads to
more quarrels and more bitterness of
feelings at home than almost any
thing In domestic life. The fact is,
that one may control her tongue and
her eyes that she may allow her oppo-
nent the pleasure of this coveted con-
cluding thrust and yet placidly retain
her own opinion, and in the homely
coloquial parlence' of the up country,
where one finds strong willed people
living together in great peace with
the most pronounced diversity of
characteristics, "do as he is mind to
do"
Another bit of wisdom may be con-
densed into pithy sentence Avoid
explanations. In some families moth
is taken for granted. Every action,
every decision, every new departure,
every acceptance or rejection of in
invitation, must be endlessly talked
and fused over, explained and re-ex.
planned. In that way lie all sorts of
stumbling blocks. AS rule, beyond
your parents or your husband, there
is, nobody who has right to demand
of you explanations at each step of
your onward path. Don't give them.
Establish a reputation for keeping
your own counsel. It will serve you
we'll in many crisis, and be no end
of comfort.

One or the prime differences be.
tween "prosperily and "adversity" Is
that the first brings US a. immediate
aud unalloyed delight, which wanes
and grows insipid with familiarity ;
the second comes with a forbidding
aspect, but grows in lovliness and
beauty as it fingers with US. And,
best of all, adversity supplies US with
a new power and means of helping
our brothers in affiictioD.
Said Lowell, in a letterof coincidence
to a friend who had lost child, "Dis-
ease, poverty, DEATH sorrow, all come
to us with unbenign countenances
but from one after another the masks
falls off, and we behold faces which
retain the glory and the calm of hav.
ing looked in the face of God" Attic.

1t is the beautiful work of Christian

to it. It has a perfectly miraculous
gift of healing.
Faith sees worlds that are not open

Russian Jews.

Not only is Russia terribly persecut.

she is also harrying the Jews on 8
large and merciless scale. Her present
policy is to drive out as many as posi-
BILE and to mass the rest in the frontier
provinces bordering on Austria or Ger.
many. It is being relentlessly and
vigorously pursued. It's natural effect
is to drive over the frontier all who can
afford to avoid the misery of the life
provided for them in the frontier
towns and provinces. All those who
thus escape 20 to Hamburg, and thence
to England, America, or Baron
Hirsch's Argentine settlements. The
Russian treatment of these unhappy
people is simply barbarisn of the
worst type. Here Is an instance o'
their experience -
"While the Jews constitute only 1866
per cent. Of the population Of Euro
pean Russia, the army conscripfions
for series of twelve years-l875-lSS6-.
show the average proportion of jewish
soldiers to be 5.97 per cent. Yet there
is no lie of which Russian writers and
apologists are more fond than that the
Jews continually evade their military
duties. The truth is that by device
of counting dead men they are called
upon for much more than theis proper
share of this trick is made reproach
to them."
By the lowest estimate the year end
ing in October, 1892, will have seen
not less than 225,000 human beings
driven from their homes and the land
of their birth. Cr,'mwell's terror III
Ireland is no parallel to this. 1t will
be the turn of the German next, and
the Germans In Russia are commun'
ity of hard-working, honest citizens
whose only crime is that they are ruled
by foreign Government.

In cheap, but snowy form, and well

the glib speech Of the agent, and the
poor victim buys a worthless book at a

inarians, who are trying to work their
way through college, or women who
are trying by that means to supple
ment their living-both worthy aud
deserving. The ministers are general
ly the first to be approached. They
are not only expected t buy the book,
but they are also expected to encourage
its sale among their members. IL
they buy, they load their shelves with
literature they are not likely to use,
and with money they cannot well
afford to spare, and they commend it
to others, who may be cheated through
their influence. II they do not buy,
they are regarded as mean, ansynIpa-

this whole book agency business, q
humbug-a business that Is not just to

after all experience of more than forty
years with nearly 10000 juveniledelln-
guents, to endorse VIM. NJ. F. Rounds
views touching the power of heredity
in criminals as a predisposing cause 10
crime. Among this large number Of
young offenders I can state with entire
confidence that not one per GEN.. were
children born of criminal parents;
and with equal confidence I am able
to soy that the common cause Of their
delinquency was found In bad Iarenta
training, in bad companionship and In
lack Of wholesome restraint from evil
associations and influences"

Regularity of habits is not only one
of tho prime conditions of success in
secular life, but Is also one of the great
safeguards of character. The man who
keeps in the beaten way cannot 60 far

writing, and for praying, should be
cultivated as far as possible. A good
habit Is one of the best friends that

one of the worst.

The Wreck of the Detroit

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13-There is
now very little doubt that the capsized
vessel reported by the Serna is the
bark Detroit, and from what has been
learned it is almost certain that a
serious blunder has been committed.
The Detroit sailed from San Francisco
last December in ballast, and found
some very heavy weather. During a
gale, while off Point Arena on the 22d,
she was caught in a squall that threw
her over on her beam ends. The only
thing that saved her from going COM
pletely over was the fact that her sails
were blown Off the boltropes, thus. re-
lieving the ship and enabling her TO
right again. During the squall her
ballast shifted, and when Captain Dar-
rah decided to return to San Francisco
his vessel had very heavy list and
was leaking badly besides.

TIMELY MEMORIAL TRIBUTES
Beautiful Eulogies Upon Departed
Patriots BY q. A. r. Veterans

Beautiful Eulogies Upon Departed
Patriots BY q. A. r. Veterans
Coleman r. Apperson Post, at its
regular meeting last evening, paid
gracious tributes to several OF the dis
tinguished patriots who died during
the first month Of the present year, a
month memorable for the mortality of
famous men. The eulogies were intro
duced by Major Wilkin, and passed
unanimously. They are out of the
usual order Of this class of literature,
and display keen understanding and
just appreciation of the qualities and
characters of theirisubjects, expressedIin
graceful and well chosen language.
Following is the memorial in full:
Since this post last convened the
nation has had cause to mourn the
death of a number of its most devoted
patriots-nseu whose services to this
country and the cause Of freedom have
shed brilliant lign. on the pathway
of mankind Ia the building and devei-
opment Of a government fou..ded upon
the consent of the governed anu equal
ity before the law.
Included among those thus taken
from the gentle sympathy of kindred
and loving friends-from the throng of
the living-are our distinguished com
rades and those whose devotion to the
cause of humanity aud free govern
ment Ia the nations days of peril, and
in its rebuilding on the lines of free
dom, that renders It not only appro-
pirate, but pleasure in the midst of
sorrow for the members Of this post to
place upon record their tribute Of affec-
ton to the memory Of these distin-
guished citizens and the expression of
this post as to the great loss brought by
their death upon this country.
First-In the death of Brevet Major
General r. b. Hayes there has been
taken from our number comrade of
the purest character and noblest quail
tiles of manhood-one of gentle and
loving disposition, with courage equal
to the duty to be performed. DUTY was
his star, and his life exemplified duty
well done. He was ever equal to the
emergencies as they arose. He rendered
distinguished and able services I'm the
war for the Union, and able, pure and
patriotic services in behalf of his state
and nation, and upon momentous L.
sues in times of peace. The character
OF public services and the estimate of
American citizenship has been height
ened by his example. Republican
simplicity has been crowned with
another laurel In his life. Mankind is
better for his having lived. His in-
fuence and labors in life will brighten
the pages Of history. Exalted position
found him and left him without AFRO
gance-as one Of the people
\ and servant Of the people.
He was a noble man, tried comrade,
a true patriot, an honest public SER

Planters who propose shipping
rough, to be milled on toll,
will do well to write us as to
the amount they are likely to
ship and the probable date OF
shipment. This will enable us
to place same on our mill ros-
ter and by the turn being thus
engaged, immediate attention
secured as soon as the rough is
received.
Holders of old crop will do
well to send it right along be-
fore new crop makes it take a
back seat"
Do not mix the old and new

Care should be taken to pack

mark plainly that lots may not
get mixed with others coming
