BE kind TO thy father, for when thou vert
young
Who loved thee SO fondly as her
He caught the first accents that fell from thy
tongue
And joined in thy innocent glee.
BE kind to thy father, for now he is old;
His locks interminge with gray;
His footsteps are feeble; once fearless and bold.
Thy father is passing a~ay.
BE kind to thy mother, for, lol on her brow
May traces of sorrow be seen.
Oh, well may'st thou cherish and comfort her
now,
For loving and kind hath she been.
Remember thy mother: for thee she will pray
As long as God giveth her breath;
With accents OF kindness then cheer her lone
way,
Fen to the dark valley of death.
BE kind TO thy brother: his heart will have
dearih
II the smile of thy JOY be withdrawn.
The flowers OF feeling will fade at their birth
II the dew OF affection be gone.
BE kind to thy brother; wherever you are
The love OF a brother shall be
An ornament purer and richer by far
Than pearls from the depths OF the sea.
BE kind 10 thy sister; not many may know
The depth of true sisterly love.
The wealth of the ocean lies fathoms below
The surface that sparkles above.
Thy kindness shall bring to thee many sweet
hours
And blessings thy pathway TO crown;
Affection shall weave thee garland of flowers
More precious than wealth or renown.

1t seems really impossible TO extinguish
the homing instinct in good pigeon. A
story is told of French carrier pigeon
which was captured by the German sol
diers during the siege Of Paris In 1870.
The bird was being carried In balloon
from Paris to some point In the country,
whence 1t was expected to return to Paris
with message. 1t was taken to the Ger
man headquarters and presented to the
commander, Prince Frederick Charles,
who sent 1t to his mother in Germany.
Here 1t was placed in splendid roomy
aviary and carefully fed and nourished,
but although it was kept here, living In
the lap of royal luxury for four years, the
French pigeon did not forget Its father
land.
At the end of that time the aviary was
left open one day. The pigeon flew out,
mounted high in the air, flew about for a
moment as If to find the points Of the
campass and started In n straight line for
Paris. Ten days afterward it beat Its
wings against the entrance to its old loft
in the Boulevard de Clchy. There it was
recognized, ard its case being brought to
public attention 1t was honorcd as pa
trioG returned from foreign captivity 1t
remained at the Paris Jardin d'Acclima-
tion until 1t died in 1878. Bells

When you have lived your life,
When you have fought your last good fight and
won,
And the days work is finished. and the sun
Sets on the darkening world In all its strife
Ere the worn hands are tired with all they've
done,
Ere the minds strength begins to droop and
wane,
Ere the first touch of sleep has dulled the BRAIN
Ere the hearts springs are slow and RUNNING
dry
When you have lived your life.
Twere good to die.
II it may not be 50,
IL you but fight fight you may not win
See the far goal, but may not enter in
'Twere better then To die and not 10 know
Defeat-to die amidst the rush and din,
Stul striving. while the heart beats high and
fast
W.ih gluriods life if you must fall, at last.
Such end were best, with all your hope and all
Your spirit IN its youth,
Then, when you fall.
Far better so to die.
Still toiling upward through the mist, obBo1re,
With all things possible and nothirs 'are,
Than to be touched by glory and passed by
To win by chance fame that may not endure,
That dies and leaves you living, while you strive
With wasted breath TO keep it's fame nliss,
And fan, with empty boast aud proud regrets,
Remembrance OF past
The world forgcts.

My cabin covers in the onward sweep
OF the terrible northern blast.
Above its roof the wild clouds leap
And shrek as they hurry past
The snow waves hiss along the plain;
Like hungry wolves they stretch and strain.
They race and romp with rushing beat;
Like stealthy tread OF myriad feet
They pass the door. Upon the roof
The icy showers swirl and rattle.
At times the moon, though far aloof.
Through winds and snoxIin furious battle
Shines white and wan within the room.
Then swift clouds dart across the light,
And all the plain is lost to sight
The cabin rocks, and on my palm
The sifted snow falls, cold and calm.
God what a power is in the wind
lay my ear to the cabin side
To feel the weight Of those giant hands.
A speck, II fly In the blasting tide
OF streaming, pitiless icy sands

STRANGE SELF DECEIT.
What a Morbid Love For the Sensational
May Sometimes Accomplish.

A morbid love Of the sensational some
times leads young people, more especially
young womtn, into strange paths. Many
extraordinary instances are OH record of
the singular manner in which they have
imposed upon relatives and friends, repre-
senting themselves as suffering from
battling malady in some cases; in others as
the victims of injustice or persecution.
A case Of the latter kind was that of the
Canadian girl said TO be prosecuted by
the receipt of scurrilous anonymous let
ters. The whole population was reused
into sympathy and Indignation, and she
herself was driven finally into her grave,
amid the lamentations of the community,
by her malevolent and undiscoverablc ac-
cuser. Afterward an examination of her
papers and letters revealed the fact that
she herself had been the unknown writer.
1t would seem remarkable that one should
be ones enemy TO such an extent as to
commit suicide by self persecution in this
manner. Yet psychologists know that
such cases are not infrequent.
recent illustration of that is afforded
by the story of a spinster milliner, who
not only wrote herself prosecuting letters,
but actually set fire and destroyed some of
her personal effects In her little shop in
order to satisfy her morbid craving for the
sympathy and attention of the communi-
ty in which she lived
Some years ago Portsmouth was treated
to u rather moro striking example Of ca.
price when n young woman of good fam
lily carried out for n year or two most cx-
traordinary system of deception. She as
serted that while travelling she had become
acquainted with young American of
enormous wealth. They became attached
to each other, corrcspondcd and were en-
gagged. Every week or SO she received let
ters and cablegrams from her imaginary
lover, and these she would read to and
talk over with her many friends. The
wedding day was actually set when ca.
blegram announced the death of her ca
pectcd swain. Tho bride seemed over
whelmed with grief, but her friends be
came suspicious, and an investigation,
quietly carried on, revealed the fact that the
letters and messages originated with her
self, and no lover had ever existed. Pitts

A Woman Jury,s verdict.

A case OF women doing jury duty is re-
corded In the annals of old Newbury more
than 200 years ago. A certain Elizabeth
Hunt of that town having in 1893 died un-
der mysterious circumstances and rumors
Of foul play being circulated 1t was deemed
wise to have an Investigation, and jury
OF l2 women was impaneled, who viewed
the remains and after due deliberatlon re-
turned the following verdict, doubtless cor
rect with the exception Of the spelling:
I'VE judge, according to our best light
and contents, that the death of said Eliza
beth was not by any violens or wrong dun
to her by any parson or thing, but by some
soden stopping Of her breath"
The common habit at that time Of pro
nouncing er after the British fashion--as
clark for clerk, Darby for Derby-no doubt
prevented ANY parson - of the place, all
of whom were pious and excellent gentle
men, from finding personal innuendo In
a decision otherwise rather startling.

This polite method of extortion was fol-
lowed the next morning by one of a bolder
and more percmptory nature. Notwith-
standing the feast of the night before at
our expense and in addition TO furnishing
us with bedclothcs which we really ought
to have been paid to sleep in, our oily host
now insisted upon three or four prices for
his lodgings We refused to pay him more

unable to force our passage throug the
narrow doorway with the bicycles T. our

Chambers Journal.

Her face palace hat awaits its king,
Prepared and set In order with the gold
OF truth, the sparkle of the jeweled fold
OF thought and thrilled with music's joyful
ring,
But empty. From her eyes no deeper thing
Than laughter; from her lips no words but
light;
The sick heart shrnks from darkening her
sight.
She knows not tenderness nor the mute touch
OF sympathy. Her path has been too bright.
Nor does she feel the lack, nor mourn it much.
But we who watch and love her are most fain
The gates should open 10 the tender tread
OF womanhood, who enters with bent head,
Crown'd with the blue purple blossoms of
pain.
