THE CHEMISTRY OF CHARACTER

John and Pete. and Robert anc Paul,
God in his wisdom created them all.
John was a statesman and Peter slave,
Robert preacher, and Paul was knave.
Evil or good, as the case might be,
White or colored, or bond or free,
John and Peter and Robert and Paul,
God in his wisdom created them all
Out Of earth's elements mingled with flame,
Out of life's compounds of glory and shame,
Fashioned and shaped by no will of their own
And helplessly into life's history thrown,
Born by the law that compels men to be,
Born to the conditions that they could NOT
foresee,
John and Peter and Robert and Paul,
God in his wisdom created them all.
John was the head and the heart of his state,
Was trusted and honored, was noble and great.
Peter was made meath lifes burdens to groan,
And never once dreamed that his soul was his
own.
Robert great glory and honor received
For zealously preaching what no one believed
Wilde Paul of the pleasures of sin took his fl
And gave up his life to the service of i'll.
1t CHANGED that these men, in their passing
away
From earth and its conflicts, all died the same
day.
John was mourned through the length and
breadth of the land.
Peter fell meath the lash of merciless hand
Robert died with the praise of the Lord on his
tongue,
While Paul was convicted of murder and hung.
John and Peter and Robert and Paul,
God in his wisdom created them all.
Men said of the statesman, elbow noble and
bravei''
But of Peter, alas, 'sHe was only slave"
OF Robert, "'Tis well with his SOUL it is well, y
While Paul they consigned to the torments Of
hell.
Born by one law, through all nature the same
What made them differ, and who was to blamei
John and Peter and Robert and Paul,
God in his wisdom created them all.
Out in that region of infinite light,
Where the soul of the black man is pure as the
white;
Out where the spirit, through SORROWS made
wise,
No longer resorts to deception and lies:
Out where the flesh can no longer control
The freedom and faith of the God given SOUL
Who shall determine what change shall befall
John and Peter and Robert and PaulP
John may in wisdom and goodness increase,
Peter rejoice in infinite peace,
Robert may learn that the truths of the Lord
Are more in the spirit and less in the word,
And Paul may be blessed with holier birth
Than the passions Of men had allowed him on
earth.
John and Peter and Robert and Paul,
God in his wisdom created them all.

A Story of Crisp.

Here is a little story Of the late
Charles Frederick Crisp: In one of the
counties Of his district there was a lit
tie weekly newspaper to which he faith
fully subscribed When he would come
home from Washington, he always
sought the editor and demanded TO
know if his subscription had not ex-
pired. On one of these occasions, meet
ing with the editor, he handed him a
So bill, saying:
81 have missed three issues of my
paper, and l am sure must be in ar
rears. Take that and call it square.
"But, " said the editor, the paper is
only 81 a year, and your subscription
won't be out until January "
That's all right" replied Crisp,
''but you keep the money" And then
in a whisper, II never saw an editor
yet that didn't need it. Atlanta Con-
stitutiOn

HIS Wi7rs SAVED HIM.
The Diver FeIgned Death That He Might
Escape With His Life.

Escape With His Life.
Some years ago, upon the coast OF
France, there occurred one of those ro-
mantle episodes that seem to belong to
the realm of fiction. A vessel had found
cred within sight of port-gone down
with all her cargo. Two divers were
sent to report upon the cause of the dis
aster and the prospect of raising the
goods One Of these represented the in
surance brokers, who had instituted the
investigation, and the other the captain
and owners of the vessel.
The brokers' man touched bottom first
and found himself ON a bed of white
sand. He was fortunate enough almost
Immediately to discover the wreck and
at once climbed the crags upon which
the vessel rested. Investigation showed
him that there had been foul play, for
an anger hole was plainly visible in the
hull of the ship.
He had turned to point out his discov-
cry to the other diver, who was now by
his side, when he felt himself suddenly
olutohed by the waist and dragged down
upon the sand. Here his assailant MUIR
derously attempted to break the glass
of his helmet, but the assaiied iinan
fought desperately for his life.
He firmly believed himself to be in
the clutch of mailman, and for few
minutes the water was thick with sand
that few up around the combatants. In
the end the first diver was worsted, and
his assailant forced him to lose hold
upon his line.
Death seemed imminent, but the div
er's wits did not forsake him. Finding
that he was no match for his adversary,
he fell back and apparently swooned,
and in this condition the other man pre-
pared to leave him, cut of from COM
munication with the upper world. He
gave the signal to be drawn up, but as
he began to ascend the apparently swoon-
ing man sprang to his feet and clutched
the rising mans legs with a firm grip,
and the two were hauled to the surface
together.
Then, indeed, the ready witted diver
tainted in earnest, and-before he regain
ed consciousness his enemy had escaped
to land and when captured was attempt
ing to leave the country. At the trial be
explained the reason of his conduct
1t was the old story Of greed leading
to unlawful deed and of the resulting
danger melting to fresh crime-an over
insured cargo, scuttled ship and then
frantic effort on the part of the ship
owners to avoid disgrace and punish
ment by offering to the diver a share Of
the profits on condition that the discov-
cry, sure to be made by his rival, should
never be heard of Youth s Companion.

What the Sun Could Do.

The astronomers have been figuring
on the amount of heat and light that
our sun is constantly emitting. 1t is
shown by this wonderful table of fig
ures that our earth constantly receives
as much sunshine as would illuminate
30, 900. 900 square miles of fiat surface.
Even this vast quantity is as nothing,
for, of course, our earth only receives
that which happens to fall on the side
next to the sun. If there were
Q, $50, 900, 900 worlds strung around the
sun, they would form a shell Of a
sphere, with the sun in the ceuter, and
each would receive daily and hourly
the same amount of sunshine that we
enjoy. ST. Louis Republic.

Quite Another Sort Of Man.

A distinguished divine Of unusually
solemn and impressive appearance went
to country town to lecture. He arrived
early in the afternoon, and all the town,
of course, spotted him within five min
utes as very great and very sanity
man. He went into chemists shop and
in tones that froze the young blood Of
the shopman said:

MysteriousIy Disappeared.

Charley, the S-year-old son of
Mr.. Dave Eckard, who keeps a
store on this side of the Kanawha,
opposite Lock IL, went black
berrying with two young women
yesterday morning. Some time
after arriving at the patch, the boy
concluded he would return home,
and started, leaving the girls in
the patch. They did not return
for several hours later, and were
surprised to learn that the boy had
not arrived at home. His father
becoming alarmed got some of his
neighbors together and began a
search for the boy, but were unable
to find him up to late hour last
night. 1t is now believed that on
his return home, he attempted to
cross the back-water at Three Mile
creek, and was drowned. We have
heard nothing this morning, but
hope when we do get word, that it
will be that the boy has been found
alive.
