Sleep. little baby; hush, little baby!
Papa is coming no longer to roam.
The shells and the pebbles, all day tossed

The tired shore slumters, stretched out in

While the waves hurry of at mid oceans

Then hush, little darling; sleep, little dar-

Sleep. baby, rocked by thy mothers own

The winds that have rollicked all day In

Are hushed into sleep on the earn even

Are now rocked to sleep In the arms of the

Hard to Kill.

The creature most tenacious of life

be cut in two, and two creatures are
the result. One may be slit length

turned inside out and enjoy themselves
just as well rs before !; if two be divided
and placed end to end, the result will
be monster having head at each
end of its body.

Feeling is back of the expression Of
feeling. There can be no expression Of
feeling where there is no feeling ID ex.
press. 1t is true that the expression
Of feeling increases the depth and in
tensity Of feeling, and that the. yepress.
ion tends to the lessening of feeling.
But it Is also true there cannot be an
expression of feeling beyond the meas
ure of the feeling that exists, and that
real feeling instinctively seeks aud
finds expression. John Angel James
used to say that, in or'ler to influence
others, one must be in earnest. "Do
not try to speak earnestly" lie added,
"but be earnest, and you will speak
earnestly" John B. Cough insisted
that it was more important for u pull
lie speaker to he natural in the express
ion his thoughts than to strive TO gest-
ure naturally. He suggested thut n
dog gave no thought to the mode Of
wagging his tail, hut that the wGgging
was instructive, and simply showed
how the dog felt. If you wanted to
lessen q dogs tail-wagging, you would
do we'll to train him to think less of
you, rather than to spend your efforts
in the endeavor to induce him 10 wag
leisurely and only on special occasions.
So, again, if we deem a certain ex-
preston Of feeling on our part un-
secmly, we may understand that the
feeling thus expressed is, under the
reprehensible, and that
the surest way of representing the ex-
preston is by representing or crushing
out the feeling.

Exchange.

An English Quaker has his opinion
of the Moody and Sankey songs, and
expresses himself thus ut was an
unfortunate circumstance when the
Moody and Sankey collection of
hymns was introduced into this coun-
try its many and vain repetitions, its
irreverent use of the high and holy
name of God,' and of the precious
blood of Christ to say nothing of the
absolute doggerel, vulgarity, and still
ness of many of its selections. A
large number of them, too, set forth
the emotional rather than the exper-
mental side of Christian life ; false
and sensational notions of the future
heaven, but little inculcation of that
peace and joy in the Holy Ghost by
which the kingdom of heaven may
be our inheritance here and now.

That the State of South Carolina
is prosperous, despite its drawbacks,
NAV be seen from report which Sec
retary of State Tindal will ma ke to
the Legislature on the. number Of new
enterprises which have been started
in the State for the fisical year end
ing Oct 81, 1893, and the Gmmount of
money invested in these en- terprises.
For the fiscal year ended October 81 I,
1892, 70 charters were issued and 45
commissions for which there was no
return. The capital stock of all
amounted to 81 1853, $50.
For the year ending. today Y char
ters have been issued and SIS commits
sions on which returns have not been
made. The amount invested was 81,
4l3,OO0.
There has been an increase during
the past year, over the previous
year, of money invested, OF S2,44S, ,250,
q splendid increase, and one which
shows that the people have confidence
in south Carolina yet.
This money has been invested in
all kinds of industries, from cotton
mills to canning factories. Most of it
is home money.
The number of people employed in
these enterprises cannot be estimated,
but nearly every body gets some
benefit from them.
