SUNDAY, NOV. /, 1896.
IN MEMoRIUM.

In memory Of Charlie Shutting. of
Weimar, Texas, the following lines
are dedicated.
Slowly the hours passed away
Like clouds along the summers sky.
We stood around the bed TO pray
On which poor Charlie lay to die.
The damp of death was on his brow,
His voice had lost its vital ring,
The reason why, know not how
To me it was an awful thing.
No sign of fear that could see
Went thrilling through his sinking
\ form,
But az was tranquil as a sea-
When past the fury of Il storm.
His farewell was just like a note
OF friends that part but soon to
meet
In blooming fields where OdOrs float
In union at the SaviOr's feet
His bosom heaved with shorter breath
Good bye" he said to one and all;
To me feel that this is death
1t happened by little fall,
We sadly watched the dying boy
Who meekly crossed the chilly tide
To mansions filled with endless joy,
Where now he must with Christ a.
bide.
He saw the coming happy throng
OF spirits pure, arrayed in white,
To cheer his soul with Eden song
And bear il to that world of light.
Alas! His mothers breaking heart,
And fathers swiftly flowing tears:
How sore with them TO see him part
On budding into ripper years.
The rose they cherished faded first
On which they placed the fOndest
care.
Has left their swelling hearts to burst
With grief too great for them TO bear
But in submission they must wait
Until they hear the Masters voice
Sweetly saying II am the gate
To Christ; enter and rejoice

man with q beard. Alongside of him the
pride Of the peacock in his spreading,

The man with beard has discovered the
true secret Of happiness. His hirsute ap-
bondage Is the outward and visible sign Of
the bliss that reigns within the breast
which 1t beautifles and adorns. That

his whole mind to his hairy Idol He Is
not given to athletics; he Is no reader; he

anybody.
Tho man with q beard is proud, is vain.
Tails must be admitted. But his vanity Is
harmless, and though as member of So
oiety he Is rs useless as is the beard no

void of positive vices or bad habits, and
one'who is never likely to figure in public
