"GO TO THE SOUTH"

That is what Chauncey Depew says
after trip to this land of unlimited
resources:
"The net result of this visit to the
South, to my mind, is just thjs-that
the South is the Bonanza of the fu
ture. We have developed all he great
and sudden opportunities for wealth.
or most of them-in the Northwestern
States and on the Pacific Slope, but
here is a vast country with the best
climate in the world, with conditions
of health which are absolutely paral
leled--xith vast forests untouched,
with enormous veins of coal and iron
which have yet not known anything
beyond their original conditions, with
soil that, under proper cultivation, for
little capital can support a tremend-
Gus population; with conditions in the
atmosphere for comfortable living win
ter and summer, which exists nowhere
else in the country; and that is to be
the attraction for young men who 60
out from the farms to the settlement,
and not by immigration from abroad,
for do not think they will 60
that way, but by the internal immi-
grafton from our own country it is to
become in time as prosperous as any
other section OF the county, and as
prosperous by purely American devel-
opment.'

Some Parkhurst Epigrams.

A number Of quotable epigrams mayl
be found in Rev. Charles H. oark-|l
hurst's initial paper for young men 4
''The Stuff that Makes Yong Man
hood" in the February Ladies' Home
Journal. We select the following:
Il have watched good many brood
ing hens, but never saw one facilitate
the Matching process by pecking the
shell. The chick on the inside will
get out if he is worth it,
"More men are injured by having
things made easy for them than by
having their path beset with Difficult
ties, for it encourages them to stay
themselves on circumstances, whereas
their supreme reliance needs to be on
their own personal stuff
Young men are constantly worry
Ing lest they be failures and nonenti-
ties
Every man will count fer all he is
worth"
There is as much a science Of sue
cess as there is science Of hydrau-
Iics.''
}
luck and tOwardness Of circumstances,
and the coquettishness of popular favor,
and the like, the better for him and for
the world to which he owes himself.
Every man will have all the power he
earns, and the power he has will tell,
not because people like it or him, but
because it is power
'.Personal pressure can no more be
hooted down, or voted down, or argued
out Of existence than can the push Of
the wind or the pull of the moon. If
you weigh q ton you will exert a tons
pressure"
There is probably such thing as
genius, although ninety-nine hun
dreths oS it is doubtless the name
which lazy people give to results which
others have earned by hard work in
those hours when the lazy people them
selves were either sleeping or wishing
they could gain it without toiling for
it,
There is faculty enough in almost
anybody to become genius if only all
that faculty were lumped."
1--WE are more likely to find good
destiny by going afoot than by rid
ing
The world cares very little for ex-
perts, and the course OF events is only
infinitesimally determined by them"
The man whose entire capital is
one of enthusiasm will be conspicuous
for his abundance of torch, at the same
time lacking the timber which the torch
exists primarily to enkiudle.'
''Sowing still antedates reaping, and
the amount sowed determines pretty
closely the size of the harvest

ing his bed and but one month before his
death in speaking of the burdens and
disappOintments which come to us all he
used the following language, which
have since read over and over:
''HOw many mirages we see before we
actually lay our hand upon the real and
true! How many times we clutch the
empty air and groan through parched
lips before we hear the tinkle of running
streams and smell the dewy grass whence
comes the chirp OF the cricket and the
song OF the bobolinks! Many a weary
league of dust and alkali and burning
plain must drink up our smarting tears
before we may cool our beating pulses in
the blessed shadows that hover about
a great rock in a weary land"
The weary child was even then close
within the shadow of the rock.
We measure mems influence and COM
prehend their work better after they
have gone from us, and the world will
better understand him now. He brought
the smile, he dispelled the frown. He
who does this should find niche in the
temple of enduring fame. The fragrance
OF the flower fingers after its welcome
blnsh and bloom have departed.
My brother, to your dear memory |
bring this tender, fearful garland. 1t is
all my aching heart can give.

IN THE SNOW.
! BY ANGELINA W. WRAY,

Deep in snow the country road
Winds across the snowy hill,
All the fields with drifts are white,
And the flakes are falling still,
Ger the pine-tree grim and old,
Like beggar in the cold,
Over ragged oaks that stand
Gaunt and gray on every Eand.
Over elm trees bare and brown,
Still the SnOwfiakeS flutter down,
In the woods the little brooklet
TrembleS as the chill winds blow,
And the white birch shakes and shiver:
In the snow.
Pale and pure against the sky
Faiptly CLEANS the village Splre
Steadfast still through mondays sun
Evening mist, or morning fire;
And the snOwflakeS slowly fall
In their-whitenesS over all,
Till the slender bending stems
OF the grasses CLEAN like gems.
And crystal fret-wOrk fine
Covers every tangled vine,
Safely, sweetly, rest the dreamers
In the quiet town below,
In the silent town, safe folded
In the snow.
Restlessly the eager wind
Echoes like throbbing lutte,
Till the willows in the hollow
Culver and are mute.
Under rifted clouds of gray
With her troubles put away,
Now the old world lieth white
In the patient hush of night,
Not a dream of sorrow thrills
Through the silence of her hills.
God has touched her cloudy valleys,
flushed her countless tones of woe,
And with sweet forgiveness folds her
In the snow.

MISSISSIPPI.

Possibly some day our state with
its varied resources will be placed
before the people Of the north and
northwest who are tired of their un-
bearably cold climes and constantly
looking southwark.
Could Mississippi be placed before
them in such convincing form as to
leave no doubt in their minds to what
they may expect when they come,
there is no doubt that its vast terri
tory would soor be occupied and
cultivated. The old Bayou state is
capable of infinite development, her
territory can accommodate a greater
number Of people than 1t now lays
claim to, and with an increased pop
ulation new enterprises would be
called into existence, and prosperity
would soon be stamped upon her
brow.
Mississippi has countless acres Of
good timbered lands which have
never been touched and which would
yield handsomely either by cutting
