An Editors Hard Lot.

There are always those who will kick.
For instance, if you publish jokes with
whiskers ON them some will say that
you ought to be in lunatic joint. If
you don't print something to smile at,
they say you are pessimistic fossil. II
you spread yourself and write good,
original article, they will say it is
stolen. If you reprint an article, they
say you can't write. II you say q de-
serving word for man, you are partial
if you compliment the women, the men
are jealous, and if you don't the verdict
of the women is to the effect that your
paper is not fit to use in the construc
tion of hustle. If you stay in your
office, you are afraid to remain on the
streets; if you do. you are lazy. If you
look seedy, you are squandering your
money; if you wear good clothes, you
are dude. and don't pay for them. II
you play social game of any kind and
get stuck, you are fish; if you win,
you are tin horn, and so it goes
through one continual round Of pleasant
complications. -Roslyn (Mich.) Senti'

that several years ago the American
Sunday School Union sent out Mission
aries to work among the Sunday schools
and to organize Sunday schools in the
rural districts wherever possible. Three
young men were sent to somerset county
Maine, and many will remember the
untiring efforts of G. H. Pettibone in
the Sunday school work and as result
of his labors in this vicinity the Sunday
school was organized at North Madison,
July A, 1880, under very adverse circum-
stances with membership of ten, but
our members aud interests increased
and for several summers we were among
the seventies.
Occasionally we have had preaching.
Two summers, students from Yale
Divinity School, L B. Goodrich and j..
l.. Keedey preached regularly each
alternate Sabbath during their vacation,
also Rev. T. b. HIATT few Sundays.
Others who have felt an interest in our
little school and have given us few
sermons are Rev's Wilson, North Arson,
l.. p. French and Robert Peacock, Scion,
o. j. Hancock, Skowhegan, Nathan
Hunt, Boston, Mass, Townsend, East
Madison.
In all these eighteen years the inter-
ests of the school have never been better
than the present season, although on
account of many having left the place
our numbers are smaller, but we feel
that God has wonderfully blessed and
prospered this school. Many young
men and women, who have found their
Saviour in this humble school have gone
to fill positions of trust in larger spheres
while some have been called to meet the
reward that awaits the faithful.
We have had fine Sunday school
library in the past and have made ad-
ditions to it from time to time, but we
are now sadly in need of more books.

Abbie Cole Emery.

The subject of this brief sketch was
the daughter of Deacon and Mrs. Eben
Cole. She was born in Athens ninety
years ago, and her long life was spent in
that town. In early womanhood she
married Zachariah Emery, and their
long and happy married life was passed
on Lords Hill.
Eight children were born to them,
four sons and four daughters, of whom
seven are living: Mrs. Martha Good
rich, Mrs. Mary Leighton, Asa c., z. j.,
and Charles E. of Athens; Mrs. Alice
Wood of West Medford, Mass, and
Henry Emery who resides in Waltham,
Mass. Mrs. Emery, with her husband,
joined the Baptist church many years
ago, and both lived consistent Christian
lives worthy of emulation. Since the
death of Mr.. Emery which occurred
about seventeen years ago, she has
lived with her youngest son, Charles E.
Emery, who has done everything that
could be done to add to her comfort and
happiness.
Surrounded by children and grand
children who We'd with each other in at
tendance upon her, all her faculties
almost unimpaired, hers has been an ex-
ceptionally serene and blessed old age.
On the evening of August 5th, after a
few weeks of nearly painless drifting

Cost of Elephants.

1t is somewhat interesting to compare
the weights carried by elephants in the
tin producing districts of the Malay
peninsula with those used in the long
journeys and mountainous country of
the Lao states. In the peninsula the
distances are seldom more than at most
three or four days march, and the ele-
plant is expected to carry as much as
800 or | 900 pounds, besides his mahout
and howdah. The latter is often mere
brace of panniers slung together so as
to rest one ON each side OF the backbone
and covered sometimes with a hAht
barrel roof Of bark. a good tusker car
rying 90 hundredweight will fetch
about ESQ, and female which can bear
eight hundredweigh is worth about
$40.
La the Lao states, where journeys Of
ten days or three weeks are frequent,
the average weight hardly exceeds 300
pounds or one-third of what is usual in
the peninsula. The prices in various
parts of the country vary considerably.
When we were on the Me Having and
in Muang Nan III 1898, "a good tusker
could be had for f32 and female for

hauling elephants are i'll great demand,
tusker may fetch e150 and a female
anything from ESQ to 600, according
to her strength and ability .-Gecgraph

THE CRYSTAL HOUR.
AMETHYST, crimson and beryl,

Amethyst, crimson and beryl,
A splendor of infinite sea,
In fathomless floods of beauty and peril
From the deeps of eternity.
With stately reverberant motion
And the breakers whish and din,
The ceaseless anthem of turbulent ocean,
The surf comes rolling in.
While dim in the distance hover
The sea birds, white winged fleet,
And exhausted waves, their ecstasy over,
Make ripple marks at our feet.
Soothed "a the flush and the fever
OF earthly passion and power,
And the rested heart shall treasure forever
The touch of this crystal hour.
