for its setting an old historic mansion
OF Colonial type, and running through
the pages is an undercurrent, there is a
love-story which reaches its climax in

Good Advice, Hard to FOLLOW.

Extreme worry comes from trying to
bear all the cares of a lifetime at once
instead Of letting each days evil be
sufficient unto itself. If we could live
our whole life In q few hours. It might
be consistent to think II all over In one
night There is no past. there is no
future, for doing or accomplishing.
The present time alone is for action.
and the order is and always will be one
thing at time. This one thing must
be done on the instant I'm whatever cir
cumstances we find ourselves.
Not that we should be forgetful of
the past or careless Of the future. The
former has been our faithful school
master; the latter holds for us the is
sues Of life. That we may act intelli-
gently In the present II is essential for
us to look forward as far as the future
can reasonably be predicted, but not to
worry.
n degree Of anxiety may be founded
upon facts that point almost inevitably
TO future difficulties, but a large part
of the forecast Of trouble is groundless.
as is proved when things do not turn
out as expected. Overanxiety is al
ways crossing bridges before they are
reached, and It will stay awake all
night borrowing trouble from the re-
mote future.-Chautauquan.

AT TWILIGHT.

- tbs old home alone at twilight gray,
a night nlds her robes DER THANKSGIVING day,
! am dreaming again by the frelight's glow
The beautiful dreams Of the long ago
Long ago, when my hayward feet
Wandered mid flowers wild and sweet,
When hearts were golden and skies were blue
And NE reflected each glorious hue,
When the dearest Joy Of the gladstone earth
Was the blush Of arbutus the violet's birth,
And the deepest Of all my childish woes
Was watching the bright petals fall from ths
rose
Pale Is the blossom i blushing knew
And Its leaf overlooking with tears OF dew
The violet sobs as she droops her head
you loved me not as you loved the dead"
Rambling DER NOISY ruins gray
Is the eglantine Of the years. and today
Its bright thorns CLEAN in the autumn sun,
But Its blossoms have fallen one by one.
Ah know full well. for my thoughts will stray,
As SIT alone in the shadows gray.
Though the arbutus blossoms and sweetbrier
grows,
That every petal Is gone from the rose.

ARGENTINE REPUBLIC.

VIII He Represented by a Fine Build
ing and Exhibit mt Buffalo.
The Argentine Republic will have a
building and exhibit ut the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition In Buffalo next summer
which will represent fittingly the pro-
gressive institutions and commercial
and Industrial prosperity of that South
American republic. The sum OF $780,
600 has been appropriated by tire Ar
gentine government for this purpose.
Argentine merchants, and especially
those Of Buenos Ayres, appreciate the
Importance of representation at the
Pan-American. Many agricultural and
Industrial organizations are notifying
the minister of agriculture that they
intend to send exhibits. II is probable
the government will have its exhibit at
the Paris exposition brought to Buff
falo at the close OF the French fair.

The Gu6ernafonaI Fiqhf.

At present the fight for the Guber-
Material nomination promises to be
conducted almost entirely by, If not
between, the United States Senators
, Of Virginia. This means political
"wire pulling and shrewd manibu-
lating of political machinery. The
rank and file of the voters of the
State should act for themselves, and
not be blindly led by partisan lead
ers. Independence of thought and
action is greatly needed among us, in
all parties. The voter on the out
side, whose only business 1t is to
vote, and whose only gain is the ap,
proval of his conscience, is the only
one, perhaps, who is in a situation TO
Judge wisely and decide what is best
for all the people. To desire the
Office of Governor is a laudable desire
and to seek it by all fair means is no
wrong, but when the ruling passion
is personal ambition and sought by
the help of those whose personal
relations are such as to entitle the
candidate to support, then, it is
almost certain that improper motives
and influences are entering into the
question, The sober, candid un5ias-
ed judgement of the people alone is
the only safe source of appeal. Let
the people be their own judges.
