She bathed his hurt foot with very

"How did it get hurt ?"
ooh, it was all Jack Brands fault.
I hit him with my ball, but I didn It

"Doyou mean that I quarrel ?" said
Charlie.
ut seems like that, doesn't it? If

"But you should have stopped first
Charlie. You forgot to try a soft an

"Try the next time," said his sister

True Trust.

You and I are temped to run into
some dangerous occasion, some inju-
rious companonship, to crafty our
curiosity by reading dangerous books
which will soil our purity or damage
our faith. We say, ''God will give his
angels charge over me to preserve me
from harm" God will give his angels
charge over YOU to preserve and keep
you in all paths Of duty. But God has
never promised to give his angels
charge over us to keep US in all the
precipices of our own self-willed choice.
We go into temptations in spite oi
warning or advice, and we find that
God does not give his angels charge
over us we are trusting where he
hasn't promised we are presuming
when we have no pledge on which tc
build real hope.

Young Life.

All young life is impatient. Impa-
tience is the one special characteristic
of childhood and youth. Life is fuller
of premise at this time than at any
other. 1t spreads before the eye like a
rich and varied feast, like garden full
of blossoms ready to be plucked. The
senses are keener for enjoyment, and
there is a restless longing to get all
that life promises at once. Young
people are in haste to grow up and to
obtain in childhood the advantages
that men and women enjoy. And in
this longing they trample under foot
many of the blessings of their present
age, and lose the charming graces
which should distinguish their early
years. Tney are prematurely satisfied ;
they have seen an end of all perfec-
ton and find nothing new to interest
or delight them. You know what hap
pens if you try to open the bud of a
lily and make it unfold its pure white
heart to the sun too soon. You spoil
the bud, you take away it's beauty and
grace by your violent haste. and you
spoil the flower. It's growth is stop
ped; neither its bright hue nor its fra
grance is developed, and before it is
half expanded it begins at once to
wither and decay. And so with the
young child who seeks to he grown up
at once. The charm of the child and
the beauty of the youth are both de-
stroyed. Childhood and youth are the
period Of preparation for after life, in
which wise and holy lessons can be
most effectually impaired by teachers,
and the discipline of the heart and
character carried on most advantage
ously in the loving atmosphere OF
home. And it has been proved that
Just as animals which have the lon gest
infancy are the most highly developed
in the end, so human beings who re,
main longest in the state Of childhood
and pupilage achieve highest dintinc
ton afterwards. And, therefore, al
young people ought to look upon theil
childhood and youth as most precious
time of preparation, when rich stock
of good lessons and influences has tC
be laid which may hereafter bring forth
abundant fruit. and not be eager tha
their tender years, with all their wist
teachings and lovings restraints, SHOULD
be got over as quickly as possible.

DEATH OF MR.. LONG.
His Employers Attentive 10 Him in
His Last Illness.

Mr.. Montgomery Long, harness-maker in
the shop OF e. p. Hammond Co., of this
city, after a several weeks illness, died last
Saturday. aged about forty years.
MIR. Long was stranger In the community.
and because of the feeble condition of hls
health which preceded his death, he was IN
needy circumstances. When he was finally
confined TO his bed. MIR. e. P. Hammond
acted the part of the good Samaritan, and
furnished medicines, and other needed sup
plies, in q most generous and liberal manner
His devotion TO his iali hful employee In the
hours Of his affiction WAS most commenda
BILE and praiseworthy. The dying man SUI
fered for nothing which Mr. Hammond could
supply. Such acts speak loudeSt for the
brotherhood Of man and in praise OF u good
heart which opens It's pocket book freely
when enlisted in good cause. Not many
men would have been a. attentive and gen.
erous TO y poor and hed-ridden stranger as
was Mr. Hammond 10 Mr.. Long.
AS ruIe when an employee gets sick, and
is In needy circumstances, he Is cast aside,
even as broken and worthless furniture Is
thrown out or sight, uncared for neglected.
But Mr.. Hammond was faithful, Kind and
true TO one " no had no one else TO whom he
could look for help. The grave has closed
over the body Of Mr.. Long. but the fragrance
OF a kindly deed TO a friendiess brother exists
forever.

Not so Bad as Painted.

are given over entirely TO calamity bowling
TO person who reads only these apostles oi
apparent that all the money coined In the
last decade has been burned up or Is secretly
hidden away in the vaults of miserable
mis- ers on Lombard and Wall streets.
The facts in the case, however, disprove
these erroneous publications. Money is
plentiful In the money centres, and there Is
not bank in Augusta that cannot accom-
modate all OF Its patrons, under the same
bankers who have recently developed into
Yellowstone Kits, and II has not been our
pleasure to hear Of any WHO were formerly
addicted TO throwing money away.
Papers and people who are always prating
about destruction to the country are evident
ly afflicted with some disease that has been
engendered by bad business management or
