KEEP YOUR PROMISES.

There is one thing we all can do, re-
gardlsss of standing or the state of our
conscience and that is, to make good
our word. Ifyeu make promise, keep
it. If you make an engagement, keep
it. If you say you will be at certain
place at four o'clock, let it be at four:
not an hour after: not minute after;
as much before as you please but never
after the time set. Do you think men
get on in the world byignoring this I'M
portant rule? 1t is the first, the cardl'
nal rule among men of honor and high
standing. Make no idle promises, you

CHEERFULNESS.

1t lies within the power of every hu-
man being to be cheerful at all times.
True. life has it's drawbacks and trying
moments, but the strong minded person
will not then give way to melancholy;
but. from behind all his trials a gleam
of cheerfulness will brighten his coun-
tenance. If everybody in this world
were cheerful, what difference we
should see in those we daily come in
contact with. Many a man has made
his life miserable one by letting every
little mishap affect his demeanor.
| once knew of a young couple who
were very fond Of each other. Both
their faces bore evidence of an undying
smile of pleasantly. Never before had
their friends seen two so loving and
kind to each other. 1t was after they
had married, when the echoes of the
hymenial festivities had died away and
the situation began to wrap itself IN a
solemn cloak of stern duty, that the
husband showed his truetemper. Each
little oversight, each little mistake OF
the wife would throw him into pOut-
ing mood, and all the pleadings of his
ever faithful and pleasant better half
would not affect him. AS time passed
bv he grew worse until finally it was
whispered that his wife could not endure
it much longer. She had grown thin
and pale from months of weeping and
sorrow. "Oh. could but live the days
of our courtship over again. said she,
between sobs one evening, after he had
reproved her. From that moment there
was change in his life. The silence
which followed was only broken by the
ticking of the mantel clock. "Wife,"
. he began, and his voice was full of emo
ton, swife! l shall never give you cause
to weep again on my account" 1t was
} master stroke and we'll kept to this

WHERE SOLDIERS SLEEP.

Where flows the river by with sob and moan,
Where natures music breatheS an underIone;
Far from the busy town our feet are led.
To pause where sleep the silent city'S dead.
Here gentle spring with flowers about her head
Step lightly yer where rest the natlOn'S S dead
Touching their sacred graves. then bendeth lOW
Now trill the birds their softest sweetest songs
Where heroes sleep, to whom their praise De-
longs; .u,
We trace sad mem 'rieS of the battle years.
Eaintly our ears catch echoing notes astray,
The sounds of warfare long since passed away,
Again we see where battles dark cloud hung,
,COntending ranks against each other flung.
The rifles ring, the clash of shining blade,
And neighing horse that wars fierce music
How fine and clear they live in fancy still.
Notes, we had thought had lost their power tC
thrill.
Through those deathfres there came clearer
That Chased the shadows from our wav'rin&
sight,
And made these groves consecrated shrine,
Where hearts of truth have found peac'
divine.
Those who so nobly perished in the strife
Have wakened to a better. grander life;
Through deaths dark portals gained Elyslal
fields.
The life eternal Heavens bounty yields.
And they have left rich heritage, fame
RanaclOus Time shall never kill, a name
Forbid. by immortality. to die;
The prize for which the patriot e'er shaii sign.

FIREWATER.

Liquor is very much abused article
both by it's enemies and friends. One
is ready at all times to condemn it, the
other exemplifies his love for it by too
frequently imbibing thereof Liquor is
not as vile as it's enemy would have us
believe, nor does it possess the fine
qualities the inebriate attributes to it.
To properly know its worth it must be
seen where it is used for medicinal pur-
poses and not where it is treated with
contempt nor where purchased for the
express purpose of intoxication. No
doubt the harm and degradation it
causes far outweighs the good it does,
and consequently we could do better
without it. But to get rid of it in this
tricky world of ours is an impossibility.
History does not record when it did
not exist and more than that, it never
will. Liquor has many friends and is
too cheaply and easily made to prevent
it's manufacture. Itmay surprise many
to learn that some of our southern resi-
dents can put up a private still and
make enough ''moonshine" in two days
to make whole army of men so drunk
that they would not be able to tell
whether they were on horseback OF
afoot. Hence, is it not hopeless un
dertaking to try to Danish an article
whose means of production is so easily
accomplished? AS long as there is
demand for liquor it will be produced
There is but one way to diminish it,
= production and that is, decrease the de
, mand which can best be done by edu
cation. If the people were taught tn
, evil consequences of it's abuse, if the
