In loving remembrance OF Cecil
Rhodes, the infant son OF Mr.. anu
Mrs. Noah Fanton.
That precious bud so young and IAN
Called hence by early doom,
lust came to show how sweet a
flower,
In paradise could bloom.
Loving bands have tried to save thee,
Tears and signs were all In vain,
Happy angels came and bore thee,
From this weary world OF pain.
Did the ngels miss you Cecil?
From that realm of love and lghtY
Did they murmur while you fingered,
In the home you made so bright.
But when life last dream is over,
And | am sleeping with the dead,
We will meet to part, Oh, never,
Little bright eyed angel Cecil.

his brother E. Roy Byrd and his
wife Matte, who departed this lie
March, S,1901, aged six years. DE was
the Joy and pride of our home.
In silence he suffered,
In patience he bore,
Until God called him home,
To suffer no more.
How sad are the hours Tommy,
Since we see you no more,
Although we must remember,
Your short life is DER.
We miss thee oh, dear Tommy,
We miss thee from thy place,
We cannot hear thy little footsteps,
Nor see thy smiling face.
But you are not forgotten, Tommy,
Nor ever will you be,
As long as life and memory lasts,
We will remember thee.
Tommy we are parted only. for a
while,
Well meet on eternity's shore.
To clasp thy hand and behold thy
smile,
And meet to part no more.

SLAVES PASSPORT COIN.
Copper Pocket Pieces Used In Escaping
from bondage.

Mr.. Charles l.. Feller, 1916 East
Pratt street, has in his possession a
copper coin of the kind used by slaves
as passports in their travels when run
ming away from their owners during
the anti-slavery agitation preceding
the Civil War. The coin bears the date
1888, with Liberty" in laurel wreath
on its face and on the reverse the
kneeling figure of a slave woman and
the inscription Am / not a woman
and a sister," The condition of the
coin is perfect and came into posses
sion of Mr.. Teller several years ago,
who obtained it from an oyster dredg-
err The dredger found it with a lot of
other coins in the ruins made by the
great flood at Johnstown. Mr.. Teller
has a large collection of coins. and at
tached no particular value to this piece
until a few days ago, when he read an
account of a lot of these anti-slavery
coins being dug up in the Middle West.
Considerable interest was attached to
the finding of them. According to the
bOslOn TRANSCRIPT, M. H. ID. HdlCuci
of Bangor, Ne, who is a noted coin
collector, has one of the pieces of the
same year as Mr.. Feller's. Mr.. Thatch-
er says he remembers that in his
youth slaves went to his fathers house
at night and were taken in. His ia
Their would take them out of Bangor
in his wagon and would carry them
we'll on their way toward the Canada
line. The coins were used by the
slaves along their avenues OF escape
as signals by which they could show
they were entitled to assistance with
out being compelled to speak and tell
about Observation-Disclosures Sun.

Delight In the Home Life.

Again. any amusement that gives
YOU dstaste for domestic life is bad.
How many bright domestic circles have
been broken up by sinful amusements!
The father went off. The mother
went off. The child went off. There
are today the fragments before me OF
blasted households. Oh, if you have
wandered away, l would like to charm
you back by the sound of that one
word. home" Do you not know that
YOU have but little more time to give
to domestic welfare? Do you not see,
father, that your children are soon
to go out in the world, and all the in
fiuence for good you are to have over
them you must have now? Death will
break in on your conjugal relations
and alas if you have to stand over the
grave of one who persisted from your
neglect!
All, my friends there is an hour COM
ing when our past life will probably
PASS before us in review. 1t will be
our last hour. If from our death pill
low we have to look back and see a
life spent in sinful amusement, there
will be dart that will strike through
our soul sharper than the dagger with
which Virginius slew his child. The
memory of the past will make us quake
like Macbeth.
