TEMPERANCE.


A PASTEL.
nv friend was guest OF tho morning train !.
And once, "a prosperous town Il nsarod,
He idly glanced through the wlndow-ptns,
And this is tho picture that appeared;
A good faced man In fieniish pligat
His cheeks were bloated and stained with
red
He slept the day OF sin-eursei night.
A pillow OF stones beneath his head.
By him the mdnlght's revellins storm
Sent stains to the mornings balmy breath,
And manhood's towering. godike form
Lay low In the tomb OF "A drunkar l-ieath.
And close by his side woman stood.
And brooded this wreck OF u man above
Hcr brow was n glimpse oi all things goodi
Her eyes were symbols OF home aud love
Stood close by his aide. anI yet apart,
A motionless gesture OF despair.
As II she would clasp him 10 her heart,
II only the man himself were there.
She stood as maybe. II she ha known
What marks the one she had found there
bore,
She had prayed 10 Coz with bitter moan
To keep her searching for eyermorc.
She stood like ono who hal felt tho touch
OF needless worry aud ssnselcss strife.
Who early IN years had learned how much
or death there il In a woman's life.
She stood like one who hal set \ goal
Who ne'cr 10y her God would be denied,
Until lie hal helped her lead that soul
Safe up TO the hill-to9s Ivy her side.
All this appeared in moments glance
This fAsh-light picture Of grief and wrong
The train made sudden and swift advance,
But carried the husband and wife along.
For ever after. my friend confessed.
Went with him that scene OF crime and
pain:
Through days OF striving and nights Of rest
II hung In tho halls OF his heart and brain.
And other pictures are wont 20 throng
OF sleeping children aud waking wives
Waiting aud waiting the whole night long
For one they love rs they love their lives
or praying for him Till night is DER
or listening for his step In vain
Then searching IA II on fields Of gore
And fading him almost worse than slain.
but sometimes these will vanish away
And Faith Ia painting apromise bright

day,
Will draw Mankind to tho hills Of right

Uses OF Peach Stones.

Druggists used to buy peach stones
from children, probably to make per.
fumes and flavors from the kernels.
Country housewives in the South use
the peach kernels rs a flavor instead of
the extract of bitter almonds. The
kernel contains good deal of prussic
acid, possibly enough to make it com.
mercially valuable. Planting peach
stones might prove profitable, provided
the resultant trees bore fine varieties
of peaches. American Farmer.

Rhea's Engagement.

Rhea's next appearance in San
Antonio will be at the Grand
Thursday evening, February lst,
in the play in which she has be-
come most closely identified in the
popular mind, "Josephine, En-
press of the French"
The play derives its chief at
traction from the development of
Josephine's character and the eX-
hibitiOn of the admirable traits,
which belong no loss to the tender
and atTectiOnate wife and loyal
subject, than to the majestic
grandeur Of imperial wOmanhoOd.
Napoleon in the play is clear
cut, inCisive and interesting char
acter, whose conduct is moulded
by his belief in fate, in fact, tnc
man of destiny, as described by
most biographers.
Josephine is the dOminan figure
of the play, and is in every way a
loving and lOVable woman, sym
pathetic mother, a loyal wife filled
with patriotic zeal which partakes
of the nature of religious devotion,
and which leads her to make the
greatest of personal sacrifices fol
the good of France.
