A PRAYER IN SONG.
Contributed by a JuniOr)

Contributed by a Junior)
oh never a song so sweet and tender,
But bursts from a heart as tender and
sweet;
Oh never a thought noble and grand,
But speaks of a mind as grand and noble;
Oh never a life lived true and great,
But it mirrors soul as great and true;
Never a sweet song but sOftenS heart,
Never a grand thought but strengthens a
mind,
Never a true life but it leads some soul,
For the deeds of one are guides for others.
Then sweetly sing, oh, my tenderest heart.
Grandes5t thought pour forth oh, my no

Truest soul lead on, make my short life
great
That those who follow may find a straight
way!

Cora, until two years ago last March, was as

She was attending school and was studying
hard. Perhaps she was too studious, for We
noticed that the healthy color in her cheek was
rapidly disappearing, and she was becoming
pale and sa1low. Dark, swollen circles be-
gan to appear under her eyes, and she rapidly
became worse We were living in Franklin,
Indiana, at the time, and Cora would have
graduated that Spring. She stopped attend
ing school and endeavored to get rest but
her health kept falling. Hei Slood was color
less and impure. She would also have sick
headache, ccold scarcely eat or sleep, and
was almost continually in pain Nothing
which we did for her seemed to do any good.
Different physicians treated and pre-
scYibed for her, but she kept getting worse.
She had formerly weighed l09 pounds, but
during her illness her weight had dwindled
down to 70 pounds We began to think
there was nothing we could do for her bene-

VIE Dian't Marry . Csant.
Poor Mrs. Tartar had always been pc
culiasly unfortunate. From her birth
. train of i'll luck had pursued her, al
though, not being on the Long Island
railrcad it never passed over her head.
At the time of her marriage her hus-
band was French count, employed in
making himself otherwise generally
useful at q summer hotel. Seven years
later, when she began to think of saw
ing up for the celebration of their tin
wedding. he confessed one day that he
was in realhy native of Hoboken.
A terrible scene ensued, in the course
Of which several pieces of the wretched
man were distributed about the apart
ment by means of pair of scissors.
The noble woman, however, promptly
forgaye him, even going so far in her
magnanimity as to assist him in the
subsequent search for the missing por-
tions of his anatomy.
Nevertheless, the painful disclosure
made an indellible impression upon her
sensitive mind, and although she care
fully concealed the state of her feel
ings, never mentioning the matter more
than once or twice at meal times, there
can be little doubt that this secret sor-
row was largely responsible for her
premature decline at the age of s5.
She had been married barely 10 years
when fate struck her once more in the
solar plexus. At her urgent request her
husband had insured his life. Two
hours afterward, while he was asleep,
she happened to drop large eight-day
clock upon his head, whereupon he
died.
For Is minutes the widow was heart
broken Then on hurrying around to
the life insurance company she found
that it had escaped to Canada.
She certainly was a most unfortun-
ate woman.-N. y. Journal
