Destructive Fire

The fine residence on South
Lake Weir, known as the Horace
Cilly place, but now owned by
w. III. Roberts of Augusta, the
we'll known watermelon dealer,
was destroyed by fire Saturday

is supposed that it was the work
OF an incendiary, as tracks were
seen leading to and from the
front of the building. The resi-
dence cost 1000, and it is said
was insured for tabout .l$35OO.
Alex. Wade was sleeping In the
kitchen and only awoke in time
to make his escape. 1t is report
ed that j. e. Ferguson, who, a
short tt me ago, occupied the

Good Advice

One of the wisest old ladies l
ever knew once made this re-
mark: "My dear, never, if you
can help it, talk about people!
There are plenty of things to talk
about. Let people alone!>
The advice was good. The
amount of harm done by such
talk Is not to be calculated. The
mere careless repeating of con-
versation often leads to great
mischief. For one thing, it is
very difficult to repeat conversa-
ton correctly. The addition or
the leaving out of a word, nay,
even tho change of tone or en-
phasls, may make all the differ
ence in the meaning of a sentence.
For example: A certain excellent
bishop once used words like these:
81 am tired of hearing about
black men. What matters
whether a man be black, or red,
or white, so long as we can do
him good?" The first part of
this declaration was afterwards
used, to show that the bishop
wished to do nothing for the COL
ored people. When you hear
some one telling story, gar
nished with plenty of "says he's"
and 'says She's" you may be
pretty sure there Is mischief brew
ing.
Again, we should be careful
about repeating stories to the dis
advantage of any one. Even If
we know the story to be true,
there is rarely anything to be
gained by spreading it abroad.
And the probability is that you
do not know it. You have heard
it from some one, who heard 1T
from some one else, who perhaps
made it out of the whole cloth, as
the saying IS; for it is a sad fact
that there are such pcrsons-peo-
pie who take delight in making
up stories about their nelghbors.
Such stories, once set afloat, are
hard to stop. Remember, boys
and girls, that when you repeat
them you make yourself respon-
sible for them, as much as If you
had made them. You are guilty
of evil speaking, and probably of
lying and slandering as we'll.
If any one comes to you with a |
story of what some one has said
about you, let me advise you to
try this experiment.: Look the
story-teller in the face, and say,
81 shall see so-and-so in a day or
two, and l will ask her about it,"
Then see how quickly the gossip
will begin to squirm. ooh, but
don't say that l told you. Per-
haps she did not say just exactly
that, but she gave that impress
sion"; and SO on. If you hear
something good of any one, tell
them of it as soon as possible. If
you hear anything bad, let it 60,
as the saying is, Gin at one ear
and out of the other"
Read what the Holy Spirit says
about this matter, In st. James
Epistle, and you will see how
God looks upon it. Let US pray
for grace to govern our tongues,
and also to cleanse our hearts,
since 1T is out of the abundance of
the heart that the mouth speak.
eth. If our hearts are right, our
tongues Will not be wrong.-Par-
iSh Visitor.

The Tone of the Home

cellar, when you're there, and it's
not home even in the back parlol
when you're not there!" Such
was the beautiful compliment
with which a blue-eyed, curly
headed five-year-o old greeted his
mother who had been down in
the cellar for an hour or two at
tending to the winters supply OF
fruit. He had gyrated between
parlor and cellar saying several
times, "Good-bye, dear mamma, -
but only to return five minutes
after to ask "Can l help you,
dear mamma?"
Then the loving heart and
small brain of the young philoso-
pher evolved a fundamental prin-
clple, which dawns upon many
only with their gray hairs: that
rich and elegant surroundings
and place and power are but
vanity of vanities unless the
hungry heart and soul are salts
fed.
How the young hearts yearn
for ardent love from father and
mother, yet how often they re-
ceive a stone-even while the
parents love them devotedly; but
are hurried and worried with the
cares of life, so forget to express
the love. All! it is just the ex-
preston of it that makes the
difference. "What a comfort it
must be to your father and moth.
er to have you with them," said
an elderly lady to one younger,
the only daughter of an aged
couple. 'They never say So"
was the reply sadly given. Yet
that daughter was to her parents
as the apple of the eye; but they
were naturally reserved and it
never occurred to them that a
few words of a loving apprecla-
ton would tighten life's cares and
set her heart to singing. Why
are we so slow to express our
kindly thoughts of others and to
praise them when they have done
nobly. Well did Henry Ward
Beecher say "Give me an ounce
of taffy rather than a ton OF cpl
taphy! We give praise so un-
to the dead but so
grudgingly to the living. Why
not gladden. the burdened soul
here before it goes into the be-
yond where the words of comfort
cannot follow. A little genuine,
loving praise never hurts a man,
or child; it has often
the dull boy into a
clever student and made the will
full, headstrong girl tractable
and loving. Mothers especially
need to remember this for it is
the key on which limitless domes-
tic symphonies may be played.
