ABSOLUTELY Pure

Hamlet's sire! Is this which Carol calls
| "a thing" and "a brat and which our
children are personating in high fun, all
that the twentieth century is to get from
| the nineteenth in the way of a ghost?
| Coleridge could write not so very long
ago, what no one would to-day, in sober
! earnest:
| Like one that on lonesome road
| Doth walk in fear and dread,
| And having once turned round, walks on
| And turns no M ore his head,
| Because he knows a frightfu iend
| Doth close behind him tread.
What will the twentieth century do with
out an unfailing antidote for sluggish brain
and circulation? What spur is there for
paralyzed or dormant faculties like genu-
inc, blood-curdling, hair-lifting ghost, or a
good story of one? Will our f1ippant thing
ever prove itself lever for the progress of
the race? Hardly.
Soon nobody will be left to say, even,
with Nine. de Stael: II don't believe in
| in ghosts, but am afraid of them, never
| theless"
Think of the conventions, where tho
ghosts are a part of the attendance, sub
mitting to parliamentary rules, promptly
answering questions, and adjourning upon
motion! And here comes a report by tele-
graph served up with the war in China,
amendments of the constitution, ETC., of
wedding between a ghost and "a beautiful,
well-educated, and wealthy woman" Par
ticulars are given of how 1t stepped out
from cabinet, presumably at the wedding
march, clad in the uniform of an army Off:
cer-can 1t be dealt with for doing that?-
proving tangibility at the outset by putting
slipper on the foot of the bride. Then it
slipped the ring on her finger, and a ''min
ister' pronounced them married. A good
many questions arise in the thoughtful
mind What may be the contingencies of
such a union? What complications beyond
the reach of our courts? How, if this thing
goes on, will it effect the so-called superfu-
Gus woman? Can any superfluity rap up
a husband, if she will?
The ghost of the popular story-tellers is
a capering, hilarious spook as rule-an
adept in tricks and a finished comedian,
unless is completely done for, as is the
water ghost of John Kendrick Bangs, that
damp and dewy female who would persist
in spelling the Christmas cheer of her fam
lily, until the hero succeeded in freezing IL
stiff and packing IL off to a cold-storage
warehouse suggesting how possible sur
vival of the nineteenth-century ghost may
be revived in the twentieth century-its
''icily regular, charmingly null character
istics thawed out, thus delaying the utter
extinction of what possibly it is not yet
too late to preserve and restore.-Home

DON'T PUT 1T OFF

The necessity.of a spring medicine is
universally admitted This is the best
time of the year in which to purify the
blood, to restore the lost of appetite, and
to build up the entire system, as the body
is now peculiarly susceptible to benitit
from mediciue The great popularity at
tanned by Hoed's Sarsaparllla, owing to
its real merit and its remarkable success,
has established it as the very best medi-
cine to take in the spring 1t cures scrof-
ula, salt rheum, and all humers, bilious
ness, dyspepsia, headache, kidney and
liver complaints, catarrh and all affect
tions caused or promoted by low state of
the system or inn 'e blood. Don't put it
off, but take Hoods Sarsaparilla now. 1t
will do you good.

SOBER THOUGHTS.

Death makes every man financially bank
rupt The moment he dies he becomes
poor. There is nothing in the Beyond
which he can purchase with cash. No
shroud, therefore, has a pocket. The
gold from no mine, the money from no
mint passes current in heaven. The an
gels carry no purses, and the jingle of
coins is never heard. You will not get
what you want by paying for it, neither
will you lack what you need because you
have no money. What you have and what
you lack will depend wholly on your de-
serving.
A daily laborer can make as much out
of his soul as his employer can make out
of his. Neither riches or poverty impede
spiritual progress. One can be as noble
in two humble rooms as in the costly man.
sion, for whether you are in the one or in
the other the same events happen to you,
and they must be controlled by the same
qualities of character.
Sorrow is sorrow wherever you find it,
and no bank account can purchase lmmu-
nifty. A grave is grave, whether there
is costly monument above it or only a
headstoue of marble. When you reckon
with actual experiences you discover they
are Independent of wealth or poverty and
come to all alike, and when you look at
the hearts of men you find the same meas
ure of human nature in them ALL
Now, when we take our departure, what
shall we carry with us?
Death is terrible despot. When he
comes he takes no note of where or how
you have lived. He ignores all class dis
tinctions with kind of contempt. He
does not care whether your body is cloth
ed in fine linen or in rags. He has been
sent for your soul, your naked soul, pure
or impure, and that alone will he take
with him. He strips your environment from
you as you would throw aside tattered
garment. The only thing he will allow
you to ocarry-absolutely the only thing
is your character.
When you reach heaven you are what
YOU are, neither more or less; and your
surroundings in this life are of no account
whatever If you have done well, then
YOU will have reason to be satisfied; if
you have done i'll, you will see that you
have made mistake. This is the stern
and relentless truth of the case.
When we came into the world we
brought great possibility. When we leave
it we will carro the record of what we
have done, and whether that is to be little
or much depends entirely upon ourselves.

]]oetry,
A WHITE VIOLET.

Pale novice Of the purple si>erhood
Who on the closter air
Breathe up voicelesS prayer,
What deeper wine
Dark with the hearts hot flood
Has stained their lips than thine"
Some cup they drank
OF Life, of Love,
Then knelt above
Some grave where Love grew still:
For even here in this meek guise,
Telling their beads with tear -dewed eyes,
Their prayers yet bid our pulses thrill
And dead dreams rise.
But thou, down strayng,
With sanity feet where maiden fragrance cngeth
DoSt tremble there,

As if through shrine-star.cd convent aisles,
When soft the vesper chime out-rng geth.
A soul untouched by sin
Had wandered in.

THE BLIND MANS DOG

THE BLIND MANS DOG
BY :. ST. G. LAWRENCE.
AdOwn the street where the children play
The blind man goes on his darkened way;
He creeps along on the snnny side,
With his curly poodle to lead and guide
A little dog with two loving eyes
And small. brown face that is odly wise,
Who walks his way with An air sedate,
And suits his pace TO his masters gait
He sees the frivolous dogs that run
In careless leisure through shade and sun:
Do they sometimes trouble his doggish brain,
And make him long to be free again?
Who knows? For he never turns aside,
But does his duty, what'er betide.
All. dOggie, life would have less to rue
1t all the world were as simply true.

When sifted thoroughly, the credit
system is at the bottom of every 6nan-
cial disaster. Wholesalers borrow
from the banks and sell goods on
time to the retailer, who in turn sells
on credit to the consumer. The con-
sumer buys SO literally that he can
not pay the retailer, and the retailer
can not pay the wholesaler, and the
wholesaler can not pay his banker,
the bank fails and depositors can't
get their money-con6dence takes
wings; those who have money will
not spend it; there is no work, and
no market, and this is panic. "Cash
up and no grumbling," should be a
universal motto. If every man would
pay spot cash for what he buys, there
could be no loss of confidence, no
locking up of money and no panic.
Everything would be lovely, no mat
ter how the goose hangs.-Teras

he would die. I hastily gave him

relieved and the first words he uttered
were, "what was that stuff you gave
me?" Informed him. A few DAYS
ago we were talking about his attack
and he said he was never without that
remedy now. l have used it in my
family for several years. I know its
worth and do not hesitate to recon-
mend it to my friends and customers.

Boil worms have made their ap-
pearance in this section, and have
done great damage to cotton, and
are still ravagiDg the crops. 1t is
estimated by good authority that
the cotton crop of this year will be
a third less than last year, and that
late cotton will only yield half
crop in comparison with that of last
wear.

The Woodville (Miss.) Republican
contains the following industrial in::
formation and comment:
Four large oil mills are now being
built in this State. Two of these at
Greenville, where a stave factory also
will be built. In the Carolinas some
twelve new cotton factories are being
erected. Manufacturing enterprises
in the South are going right ahead.
If we are to accumulate wealth in
this State the people must manufact-
ure their raw material-wood and
cotton. No people, excepting the
Southern slave-holding States, ever
became wealthy through agriculture,
and the wealth of the slave-holding
South, it will be remembered, was in
its slaves as we'll as in the product OF
their labor.

The rapid rise of the new South is
one of the marvels of the age. It's
industrial development and CONNER
cial progress, its display of enterprise
and spread of prosperity have sur
passed all expectations. It has evil
IDENTITY entered upon a new era of
progress which promises the most
splendid results. Take cotton manu-
features alone. A few years ago
there was hardly a mill in the South.
To-day there are five hundred, rep
resenting an invested capital of a
hundred million dollars, and the
number is on the steady Increase
Even conservative Northern manu-
facturers have had their eyes opened
to the advantage of manufacturing
in the South, and several of the
largest New England companies have
moved to establish mills there. It is
not too much to say that the South
is destined to become the seat of the
cotton manufacturing industry.
The fact is that the Southern
States have untold wealth in their
natural resources-coal, ores, woods,
soil, climate, &c. Their resources
have but to be known and appreciat-
ed to be developed, and have but to
be developed to open an era of in
dustrial activity and commercial pros
perity far eclipsing what has already
been attained. The Atlanta EXPOSE.
ton is designed to display Southern
products and advantages as they
were never displayed before. This
can hardly fail to bear good fruit
in stimulating industrial enterprise
throughout the South and promoting
trade activity between it and the
North.-Neao York Herald.
