Although not q politician, he has

The Only Master Power.

"Pll master IT," said the ax, and the
blows fell heavily on the iron; but
every blow made his edge more dull,
till he ceased to strike.
"Lsave it to me-" said the saw; aid
with his relentless teeth he worked
back ward and forward on its surface
till the teeth were worn down and
broken. then he fell aside.
"Hai ha!' said the hammer, Il
knew you would not succeed; I'll
show you the way" But at the first
stroke off flew his head, and the iron
remained as before.
"Shall try ?" asked the soft, small
fame. They all despised the flame ;
but he curled gently around the iron
and embraced it, and never left it un-
til it had melted under his irresistible
influence.
There are hearts hard enough 10 re-
sist the force of wrath, the malice OF
persecution and the fury of pride, SO
as to make their adversaries' acts re-
coil on themselves; but there is q
power stronger than these, and hard
indeed, is the heart that can resist
love.--Mrs. Prosser.

Mistakes the Best Teacher.

Henry Ward Beecher says: "a man
who doesn't learn from his mistakes
turns the best school-master out of his
life"
Doesn't it seem too bad that we allow
our mistakes to be our best teacherl
Why don't we learn from other teach
ers so as to avoid these Mistakes?
Principally because we WON'T take the
advice of those who have gone through
it all.
A person would think young man
would not make the same mistakes in
life that his father made; for, of
course, the father would caution him
against them, and he does; but the
young man goes right on aud falls al
the same places. The greatest gift
that father could make his son,
would be to transfer to him his ex-
perience but experience is like char
acter, not transferable.
From my own experience l have
often likened a young PERSONS short
sightedness to man having several
wells over his eyes. At first, he sees
very indistictly, and goes cropping
around making all sorts of plumbers.
One veil is removed and his vision is
a little clearer. Then others are taken
of, each one represeting some great les
son or revelation which he has receiv-
ed Usually by the time all the wells
are removed, he is an old man, and he
wishes to help some youth to remove
them from his eyes. but the young
man says they are all of, donGting
that they ever were on, and plunges
straight ahead.
So mistakes are invitsble--the ques-
ton is, shall we learn from them /?
Don't make the same mistakes twice.
You'll have enough without any du-
plicates. Make one go long way
and get SO much good out of it, tina
you'll feel glad IL occurred.

West Virginia Legislature in Ses,

Both Houses mer at noon on We'd
nesday. The Republicans elected
Senator Marshall President of the
Senate and the other causes nominees.
In the House the Democratic caucus
nominees were chosen.
Governor George w. Atkinson's
message to the Legislature was an
elaborate document on state affairs, in
which he held that West Virginia
ranked first Of States In coal, oil, gas
and timber. The Governor praises
the part of West Virginia in the Span
ish war, but expresses no preferences
on expansion. The indications are
that the Republicans will have ma
jority of one on jointballot.

One day when she had been very

PREVALENT EPIDEMIC

which INSTRUCTED his hearing, the
customer, evidently from the country,
exclaimed:
"Hey?"

thing, or do you take this for public
