gust of the younger children, who had
thus been deprived of their holiday

But the teacher had not been in the

of the term Herbert Allen had en-
ioyed his first term in a country school
For some reason, which he had never
stopped to anaylze, there had been
peculiar fascination about his work, al
though it had been in a sphere of life
and amidst environments so different
from what he had dreamed of a year be-
fore. And yet he had unwittingly in

board and had been recently informed
that his services would not be needed
longer
And now, on the last afternoon of De
cember, the term was over. The school

teacher had spoken a few words of
modest farewell.
At last all was over, the last scholar
had said good-by to the teacher and

looked around the now quiet room, es-

II Helen Hathaway, the charming
young daughter of the director.
The schoolhouse, on whose interior

and diagrams and quotations on the

ant place to Herbert, save for the one
disturbing incident. Many q cheerful
modern schoolroom can be found in the
country districts of the middle western
states, and it is easy to see how an en-
thusiastic, refined young man like Her

such pleasant, intellectual workshop.
It would have been even easier to I'M
derstand his fondness for the spot if
one could have seen the sweet face of
Helen Hathaway and noted the deep in

and history and the readiness which the
young teacher displayed to help her in
her pursuit of knowledge. 1t would

~ III Heaven thy
2oo S&G Sad hight fRs burden thou
must bear
From the darkness into light;
Burden of my wasted days,
Fragments of my broken hours,
Budding promises that grew
Never into fruit or flowers.
Happiness might have won,
Worthy deeds 1 might have wrought,
Wrongs 1 hate, but did not shun,
Good I crave, but never sought;
All my proud and lofty aims,
Withered now to vain regret
Feeble, foolish as the will
To no noble purpose set.
Take them all, my griefs, my joys,
Lay them at the Fathers feet;
re will search if yet there be
Mid the chaff some grains of wheat,
He will fan my faint resolves
To purer flame and clear,
Bear to Heaven my hearts desire,
Angel of the parting year.
And angel of the coming year,
Though thy face is vailed, 1 see
By the glory round thee shed,
Thou hast some good gift for me.
Is it gold, power, OF fame?
Perfect peace from toll or care?
Or some sweeter, greater bliss
1 had never hoped to share?
Nay, know tbs none Of these;
Still I walk my narrow ways;
Still does lowly labor fill
All the measures of my days;
This the treasure thou hast brought,
Priced in every age and cline,
Life no greater boon can crave
Gods most precious gift of Time.
Time to shape my common cares
In5o duties high and sweet;
Time to learn that patience smooths
All rough ways for tired feet;
Time to scatter here and there,
BY the wayside, loves small seed,
Knowing lowliest hands may oft
Minister to highest need.
So may each day be a cup
With lifes sweet fiavors fraught;
Every hour a shining pearl
Strung on golden threads Of thought;
Every moment bright flower
Shedding perfume far andnear.
Lend thy grace to make it so,
Angel of the coming year!

CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
This Is Why Ten Negroes Were Killed
In Wilmington.

This Is Why Ten Negroes Were Killed
In Wilmington.
The following is the editorial in The
Daily Record, the Negro paper, which
caused the outburst at Wilmington,
N. c.:
"We suggest that the whites guard
their women more closely, thus giving
no opportunity for the human fend,
be he white or black. You leave your
goods out of doors, and then complain
because they are taken away.
"Poor white men are careless in the
matter of protecting their women, es-
pecially on farms; they are careless of
their conduct toward them, and our
experience among the poor white peo-
pie in the country teaches us that the
women of that race are not any more
particular in the matter of clandestine
meetings with colored men than are
the white men with colored women.
