Tread softly: bow the head
In reverent silence bowl
No passing bell doth toll;
Yet an immortal soul
IL passing now.
Stranger. however great,
With lowiy reverence bow!
There's one in that poor shed
One by that paitry bed
Greater than thou.
Beneath that beggHr's roof,
Lo' Death doth keep his state
Entsrl No crowds attend
Enter! No guards defend
This palace gate.
That pavement. damp and cold.
No smiling courtiers tread.
One silent woman stands.
Lifting with msager hands
A dying head.
No mingiing voices sound
An infant wall alone.
A sob suppressed-again
That short deep gasp-Rnd then
The parting groan.
OH eliange-ohl wondrous change!
Burst are thy prison bars.
This moment there. so low.

Beyond the stars.
Oh! change stupendous ehansei
There lies the souiless eiod.
The sun eternal breaks.
The new immortal wakes
Wakes with his God.

not my fault, sir" the tailor assured

Exercise for Weak Hearts

1t is not possible to lay down any gene
raj rules as TO how far it is advisable to
go in all kinds OF sporting exercises and
other arnusements, SO that no injury may
be done to the heart, or as TO how much
bodily or mental eXertion each individual
is able to support. One rule however is
applicable in all cases: Whatever the
sport may be, in the beginning it should
be carried on slowly, with but a slight
exertion of strength. which Should then
be increased very gradually. Should pal
pitation of the heart set in after any ex-
ertion, it may be taken for granted that
the proper amount of exercise has been
surpassed. 1t is also advisable for those
who devote themselves to any sport that
requires unusual effort to have their
heart examined front time to time by
physician.-Dr- J. NJ. Groedel. in Good
Housekeeping for January.

Mr.. Smith discussed the history OF the
South for a century, showing how rapid
had been its growth up to the Civil War,
but said that its resources were not de-
vefCped during that time as they might
lrave been under Il different system of
labor. He maintained that slave labor
created three CiaSses-the very rich, the
poor and the slaves-and as the first
class We're contented with their enormous
ly profitable agricultural pursuits, and the
poor class unable 10 undertake uny dGvel-
opment, that mining. manufacturing and
other commercial pursuits were neglected.
Mr.. Smith told of the progress of the
South commercially from the close of the
Civil War to 1880, during which time he
said the resources OF the Southern States
had hardly been touched. From 1880 to
1880 he said WAS a period OF prosperity
and progress. burt in the first few years OF
the decade from 1880 to 1860 he contended
there was less development, owing to the
financial panic which existed. The most
said, was during the last two years. OF

The race problem is no longer 4
