Here's a paragraph worth preserving. II comes via the Rdgeheld Press. We don't know who the author Is, but il we were all ac tuated by the spirit it incllcates twould be q different world. Read t. DO not keep the al abaster boxes of your love aud tenderness sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving ly, cheering words while their ears can hear them. The kind things you mean to say when they are gone, say before they go. The flow CTS you mean to send for their collins, send to brighten and sweeten their homes before they leave them. Ifmy friends have alabaster box es laid away, full of fragrant perfumes ofsym- pathy and affection, which they intend to break over my dead body, would rather they would bring them out in my weary aud troub led hours, and open them, that l may be re- freshed and cheered by them while l need them. l would rather have plain coffin with out n flower, funeral without eulogy, than a life without the sweetness of love and sym pathy. Let us learn to anoint our friends be. forehand for their burial. Post-mortem kind ness does not cheer the troubled spirit. Flow CTS on the coffin cast no fragrance backward over the weary way"

THE PUBLIC BELIEVE HER INNOCENT.

The whole country has been following with keen interest the famous Borden trial at Fall River, Mass, and 'tis sate to say that If the newspaper readers composed the jury, Miss Borden would be acquitted. The newspapers generally believe her innocent. A prominent Massachusetts man in discussing the case spoke Of q point in favor of the prisoner we do not remember to have seen emphasized. Ac- cording to the prosecution only about l5 min- utes elapsed between the commission Of the second murder and the giving of the alarm. Naturally the person who committed the crime would be in no haste to call in the pub lie, knowing that within few minutes after the first arrival an Investigation would begin. And yet Lizzie Borden gave the alarm, sum- moning the servant girl, who but tor Miss Bor den's own net, might have remained in igno- rance that Il crime had been committed for an hour or more, Certainly that does not seem like the act of woman who within aquarter of Gn hour had committed murder. The Fri pune in commenting on the case said "Every day adds to the improbability that Lizzie Bor- den committed those murders. Every day brings.out developments that seem to render such thing incredible. It is an incompar- able case" The people of Litchheld county Manncring of Roxbury, who is in jail, await ing trial on the charge of poisoning her hus band
