of it's iron interests, the other because

southern states where the protection
idea also obtains, though not so large

these states into the democratic column
by the policy of ignoring the whites
and appointing to Office ignorant ne

most cases only equaled by their lack

is solid because of this policy-a policy
which persists in treating the south as
conquered territory and attempting to

BABY's SHOES.

Every mother knows how the prog
ress Of baby just learning to walk is
retarded by new shoes. However 1T
the kid may be, it is apt to cramp the
tender foot, and it is some time before
the child can be persuaded to take the
first step, while if the shoe is removed,
the little one will crow with delight,
hug the shoes and toddle of to the near
est chair with them.
A story is told of a precious baby
who walked early, but positively refug-
ed to put his feet to tie floor with the
new shoes on item. When they were
taken off he was willing to stand and
step. In much perplexity, the mother
chauced to see way out of the diff
ulty by making a pair of moccasins
out of piece Of soft chamois. They
worked like charm, and baby accept
ed them with satisfaction anu walked
around as easily as without them.

MAKING A ROOM LOOK "LEYABLE.
The successful placing of chairs in a

make it look stiff, while stupid SER

Any ons who enteltains much should
really study the arrangement of chairs,
as their jux aposition and look Of in

success:

Hear ye children, the instruction OF q

For give you good doctrine, forsake ye
not my law. For was my fathers son,
tender and only beloved in the sight of my
mother. He taught me also, and said unto
me, "Let thine heart retain my words.
Keep my commandments, and live.
Get wisdom, get understanding; forget ii
not; neither decline from the words Of my
mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall
preserve thee; love her and she shall keep
thee.
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore
get wisdom and with all thy getting get un-
derstanding. Exalt her, and she shall pro-
mote thee; she shall bring thee to honor
when thou dost embrace her. She shall
give to thine head an ornament of grace; a
crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
Hear, o my son, and receive my sayings;
and the years of thy life shall be many

goest, thy steps shall not be Strengthened;
and when thou runnest, thou shalt not
stumble. Take fast hold of instruction; let
her not go. Keep her, for she is thy life.
Enter not into the path of the wicked,
and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid
it, pass not by it. turn from it and pass
away. For they sleep not except they have
done mischief and their sleep is taken
away, unless they cause some to fall. For
they eat the bread of wickedness, and
drink the wine of violence.
But the path of the just, is as shining
light, that shineth more and more unto the
perfect day. The way Of the wicked is as
darkness. They know not at what they
stumble.
Ny son, attend to my words; incline thine
ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart
from thine eyes, keep them in the midst Of
thine heart. For they are life unto those
that find them and health to all their flesh,
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for oui
of it are the issues of life. Put away from
thee froward mouth, and perverse lips
put far from thee. Let thine eyes look
right on, and let thine eyelids look straight
before thee.
Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all
thy ways be established. Turn not to the
right hand nor to the left; remove thy foot
from evil.

we confess our sins, He is faithful
and just to forgive US our sins, and
to cleanse us from all unrighteous-
ness.'' l John 10.
'sBe sure your sin will find you ont, !"
is the declaration Of Scripture. 1.-THE
wages of sin are death.v Its scar is
irreyocable; though it be forgiven its

King Manasseh found it so. Al
though he repented, the conseq uences
Of his sin are visible to day. The son
of good father Hezekiah, he was
made king at the age Of twelve, and
relgned fifty FIVE years. But He chose
to have his own way, and he did evil
in sight of the LORD, and provoked
Him to anger. He made the people DC
worse than the heather, and shed inno-
centblood. He taught the people idoltryl
and turned the house of the LORD in-
TO heather worship. Then God spoke
to him and to the people, but they
would not listen. Wherefore the LORD
God brought the host Of Assyria, and
they bound Manasseh with chains, and
took him captive to Babylon. Because
he did evil, the LORD God Of Israel
said Behold, am bringing such evil
upon Jerusalem and Judah, that who
soever heareth of it, both his ears shall
tingle." And God always keeps Hii
word. Then when Mansseh was in
aff1iction, he prayed unto the LORD
his God, and humbled himself, and
God heard his supplication. and brought
him again to Jerusalem into his king
dom. Manasseh knew that the LORI
He is God, and he proclaimed a thanks
giving, and commanded his people tx
serve the LORD. Nevertheless thl
people continued to do evil, and forfeit
ed the good promise of the LORD tt
keep them In their land forever, il they
would keep His commandments.
And King Manasseh died and bis sol
