The Power of a Word.

How much power there is in a word! 1t can
mantle the cheek with the flush of pleasure, and
cause the eye to sparkle with happiness; or it
NAV drive the blood to the heart and plant
sting that will never die. Should we not then be
careful of those hasty words that cut like a two
edged sword to the hearts of our loved ones?
Should we not compel ourselves to speak the
kind loving word, even if little offended?
Yes: OH yes The word the smile and little
deed, which seem so small a thing to us. are
powerful weapons for good, and may save for
the right some soul Just trembling on the verge
of destruction, or bring ray OfshOpe to some
heart almost broken with its weight of sorrow.
Or the harsh word or frOwning look may tend to
ruin the dear boy and girl who are hoping and
longing for some hand to be extended to save
them.
Oh! the wonderful power of words! By them
the good name of many pure life has been
blasted or saved, and the soul started on the
downward road of ruin or guided to the perfect
path of peace and happiness. Let us see to 1t
then, that we send forth on their mission of life
only true, noble words of comfort and hope, that
they may be as a tower of strength to some sOr-
rowing souls, and make their lives better. Let
| us not wait until the Saddest of all wOrdS-"tOo
| late"-are uttered, but bya word, song or a
deed tighten the cross some poor soul carries re
| tired hands are folded over the quiet breast,
| Oh, sisters let us give
A word of hope to a fallen one,
To the weak, word of truth;
A word of love to hayward son
To guide to noble youth.
A word of reproOf in kindness said.
| Let our cruel words be few,
| Let the sinful one be lovingly led
| By the band of Heartsease true.
ENERGY, in WOmankind.

The Prison Chautauqua Circle.

The Prison Pierian Circle held their regular
fortnightly meeting in the prison chapel Sun
day afternoon. After the usual prelimnaries
and the admttance of two new memberes, a
very interesting program was rendered, incud-
ing the reading Of several papers, delivery of
addresses, songs and recitations, Mrs. Clara
Gish assisting with music and singing. At the
close of the program Secretary Buchanan arose
and made the startling announcement that he
was raising moustache," presumably labor
ing under the impression that his colleagues
had not as yet detected the fact) and that his
departure for more congenial cline was but
a matter of a few days, which fact necessitated
his immediate resignation as secretary of the
circle and he suggested the immediate election of
new secretary to fill his unexpired term.

Kindness.

Do not be afraid of spelling anyone with kind
ness. 1t can't be done. Instead of spelling it
beauties the character, cheers the heart and
helps to raise the burden from shoulders which,
though brave, sometimes grow very, very tired.
Let not little adversely frighten you away, for
under the most frigid exterior there is always to
be found a tender chord which can be touched
by kindness and which responds in beautiful
harmoneS to those little acts of courtesy that
are as sunshine to Il struggling plant.-DetrOt
