And Theosopy Have Need Of Each
other. Says Dr. Buck.

| DR.. j. ID. Buck, the eminent Theoso
phist, addressed large audience IL
the Theosophical Hall, Lincoln I'M
Court Building, last night. He tool
for his subject Civilizations; True ant
False, Ancient and Modern Mysteries.
In part the speaker said: True initia'
ton is the requirement of the knowl'
edge and powers of the human soul.
In the ancient mysteries this knowl-
edge was represented in most
dramatic manner, and the initiate was
progressively instructed In the philos.
ophy underlying all such dramas.
Initiation can only be accomplished
by mastery over ones self. The
initiation of masonic candidate in
Belgium to-day is very near APP
proach to the ancient methods. The
candidate must do some interior work
to develop character and mold intel
lect before being passed along to the
higher degrees. In ancient times all
this was more necessary, as we may
learn to some extent from the writings
of Plato, Pythsgoras, etc The ulti-
mate perfectibilitv of man, the immor-
tally of the soul, the meaning of death,
all such mysteries were part of the
lesser mysteries.
Masonry, in which are preserved the
symbols and methods of initiation of
all ages, teaches also the Immortality
of the soul. No atheist can be
Mason. In Theosophy is preserved
the PHILOSOPHY of all the ages, and
therefore Masonry and Theosophy
have need of each other. Thus one
object for the new school for the revi-
val of the lost mysteries of antiquity
will teach Masons the philosophy of
Masonry, and it will teach Theoso-
phists practical occulism, all based on
the higher brotherhood of man and
the higher evolution of the human
soul.-Commercial Gazette.

A Love Song to, @ Wife.

We have been lovers for forty years. O dear cheeks, faded and worn with tears, What an eloquent story of love ye tell. Your roses are dead, yet I love ye well O pale brow, shrined in soft silvery hair, Crowned with life'S sorrow and lined with
 care,
 Let me read by the light of the stars above Those dear, dear records of faithful love. An, fond, fond eyes of my own true wife, Ye have shone so clear through my check
 cred life
 Ye have shed such joy on it's thorny way, That cannot think ye are dim today. Worn little hands that have toiled so long, Patient and loving and brave and strong, Ye will never tire. ye will never rest, Until you are crossed on my darling $ . breast.
 warm heart. throbbing so close to mine, Time only strengthens such love as thine And proves that the hoiest love doth last When summer and beauty and youth are
 past.

Teaching the Daughter Needlew ork.

New York Evening Post.
 Mothers who wish to teach their little daughters needlework thoroughly and systematically will perhaps like to know how something of the modern school methods for doing the work, which make it both interesting and easy, as they pro- ceed in a scientific and carefully thought out fashion, step by step from the sim ple to the more difficult. In one training school the first lessons are given on ma terial known as railroad canvas, and on it the little pupils are taught to take the even length stitch in which just as many threads are taken up as are left; the bast-
 ing stitch wtich makes an even line as a mark or guide for other stitches; then the even back stitch, overland stitch and hemming. When this much can be done with accuracy and neatness, the pli- pils next work on linen canvas that is finer and softer than the first, and though, like that it is woven in squares that are easily seen and that make a guide for the stitches, the stitches al- ready learned are repeated on this, and in addition hemstitching, catstitching, but tonhole stitching and feather stitching are taught These pretty stitches taken with gay thread on ecru canvas make an all over design, and when completed 1t is made into a pretty bag, of which the child is justly proud. Neat. simple cut ting is done, the first object being ging- ham worlk-bag shaped like paralleio- gram. After that comes the darning of stockings and linen, and a little more advanced cutting. A very large doll IS used as the model in learning to cut and fit clothes for little children. Patching comes quite late in the course.

WETUMPKA.
The Clarke Men on the Run-The County
 for Johnston.


 Wetumpka, Feb. 22.-(Special)-Poli- tics is in quite a stir in this county and ahe Clarke men are on the run. A spe- cial train was run from this place to Montgomery Thursday night to hear Johnston speak. Quite a large crowd went down and all were highly pleased with Captain Johnston's speech. This county is claimed by both sides, but there is no doubt in your correspond ent's mind that Johnston has a safe ma- jority, and he is confirmed in his belief by the fact that the Clarke people have considered it necessary to invite Mir Clarke to speak in this county, and we notice he is advertised to speak here next Tuesday.
 Notwithstanding much political talk, the farmers are going ahead, hauling out large quantities of fertilizers, and the prospect now is that there will be as much fertilizers sold here this year as in 1894.
 pr. R. s. Williams remains were in- tered in the cemetery here yesterday. He was a brother of our distinguished townsman, Colonel Thomas Williams.
 Sickness is quite scarce here now, ex- cept an occasional attack of the measles

SOME LITERARY WoMENAND THEIR BOOKS

The Comtesse de Martel, who is charmingly known to the reading public as "Gyp," is a member of one of the old est families in France, and is a woman of fashion. This popular author, who has written some fascinating novels, the latest of which is "Chiffon's Marriage" is said to possess two chief prejudices, one against the Jews and the other against certain literary men. Strange to say, however her publishers are Jews, though they have a convenient arrange ment by which her books are sent to other publishers when they are toe ve- hemently anti-Semitic.
 Anna Katharine Green has a novelette, in Frank Leslie's Monthly entitled The Sapphire Circlet,'' but judging from the recent work of this well known au- thoress, she has not eYen approa ched her "Leavenworth Case in any of it.
 Mrs. Humphrey Wards home is in Russell Square, the old fashioned part of London. Matthew Arnold was a cousin of Mrs. Wards, and during his lifetime was constant visitor at her house. and met there many of the literary lights of London
 A recent reviewer says: Mrs. Ward is a small woman with sweet face. and, it must be confessed, rather dowdy gowns. But one cannot expect Mar celia and David Grieve' to give her time to be smart"
 
 Julien Gordon has fallen into line with the rest of the more or less famous writ CTS who are now republshing their short stories. Half dozen of her sketches are grouped under the general title of "A Wedding
 Mary Hastings Foote has written Life of Christ for Young People, of nearly 300 pages. It is very valua bIe book for Sunday schools Every event of Christ's life is recorded in historical order, and the author has added much interesting information to the Biblical narrative.
 "Ouida." it is said. never shakes hands. declaring 1t to be the most vulgar form of salutaton. As soon as she enters room she selects a seat--and, no doubt, it is the most comfortable one to be found-and will not move until she takes her leave. We have to forgive this very eccentric writer many littfe va. garies, which. in persons of less fame, would. tn say the least, be very bad form.

RHYME AND SENTIMENT.
The Unknown Soldiers Grave.

The OnknoWn 6OlQler' GraVe. Far up the Lookouts rugged side Within narrow dell, There is a mound that marks the spot Where an unknown soldier fell. Der this quiet, lonely mound No column keeps it's guard Fen the daisy droops It's head As 1t peeps from out the Sward. No glowing epitaph is placed
 Above the soldiers head Upon board is rudely earved An unknown soldier dead.' No sign reveals to mortal ken The cause he died to save, He found his only recompense An unknown soldiers grave. What reck we now his land of birth, If only he was true, Whether he wore Confederate gray Or wore the Federal blue? His task is done, he rests in peace, ObliVious of the past No more his slumber is disturbed By the morning trumpets blast. Far from the febrile haunts of men, Untroubled by their strife His body mingles with the dust ,s Of the earth that gave it life. sgSs No noise e'er comes to break the calIh lE Save some wild songsters lay. Es.I A sweet repose rests over all {ss Anear his lifeless clay. Sss4F The shining brook that passes near z q Seems to catch the spell. s6 And hastens on to leave behind tAt, The sombre, silent dell. k&F The timid cricket's muffied chrp x Has scarce the semblance of soupn, And nature seems all conscious thatE 'Tis consecrated ground. And there upon the blue Lookout. His canopy the skies, Anear the fatal battlefield
 The unknown soldier lies, And just below the Tennessee In muff1ed cadence sweeps, But in it's silent bosom
 The solemn story keeps.
