Most Popular of All Legends Of the

Most popular of all the legends OF
the Middle Ages is that Of the seven
years pilgrimage of the Irish saint.
Brendan, the Sindbad of Christianity,
he who set forth in a ship with his
companions to seek the Islands of the
Blest upon the actual seas. Though it
is rather the vision of Barintus the
hermit that dwells in the memory,
since it was he who lured ST. Brendan5
to the quest by the tale Of his own
landing with his nephew on the happy
shores. Eastward in this case also lay

light and music are among the chief
characteristics Of these visions. It
may be recalled how these were also
the frequent accompaniment OF
Buddha's transports. AS when, after
he had obeyed the cali of the Unseen
Power, and renounced earths joys
that he might live the divine life, the
air about him was filled with falling
roses, while music, multitudinous as
the roll of waves upon the shore,
sounded in his ears. Or, as when the

REVIVAL OF A ROMAN SCHEME.

A great scheme, which at one time
fired the imagination of the Romans,
and then was allowed to drop, is now
about to be revived in modified form.

and what surroundings more perfect
for inspiration than the oaks under
which these great men sat and the lake
on which they 1oated? :

The Watchman of Franklin notes
with no small degree of pleasure,
that the land across the lake, here
tofore considered useless, is now a
flower garden of elegance and pro-
ductiveness. The section around
Grand River, Bayou Chene, Belle
River and the other waterways will
send to the mills 10000 acres of
cane or more, meaning sugar pro-
duct of 20,OOO,OO0 pounds, worth
nearly a million dollars. This is
the result Of one years labor in the
planting line; but two more in
volved in clearing the land for that
purpose.
Since the perfection of the levee
system, the people across the lake
can afford to invest their money in
sugar culture, and they are doing
it to the necessary extent, and this
section will eventually come to the
front as one among the best sugar
districts in this part of the world.

THE EFFECT OF BOOKS UPON
CHARACTER.

Perhaps there is no one thing
which enters more deeply into the
very warp and woof of ones charac-
ter, than the books one reads. One
of the greatest blessings that can
come to a young life is the love of
good books. The practice of keeping
before the young, growing mind,
beautiful and uplifting images,
bright, cheerful, healthy thoughts
from good books, is of inestimable
value.
The difference between the future
of the boy who has formed the
habit Of good reading, and the
one who has not, is as great as
that between the educated and the
uneducated youth, between the
boy who is reared in a poverty
stricken district and the one who is
brought up in comfortable home,
amid pleasant surroundings
Next to the actual society of a
noble highminded author, is the
benefit to be gained by reading his
books. The mind is brought into
harmony with the hopes, the as
pirations, the ideals of the writer,
so that it is impossible, afterwards,
to be satisfied with low or ignoble
things. The horizon of the reader
broadens, ispoint ofview changes,
his ideals are higher and nobler,
his whole outlook on life is more
elevated.
The Importance of having great
models, high ideals, held constant
ly before the mind when it is in a
plastic condition, cannot be over
estimated. The books we read in
youth may make or mar our lives.
Many man has attributed his first
start and all his after saccess to the
books read in his boyhood. They
opened mp to him his possibilities,
indicated his tastes, his tendencies,
and helped him to find his place in
life. They permit men and women
to form examples that are useful in
carrying out high ideals, and they
bring pleasure and contentment to
all.-Success.

Negro Burned at the Stake.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. T.
With agonizing screams and his
eyes bulging from his head, John
Wesley Pennington, a negro, was
burned at the stake near Enter.
prise, Ala, before a crowd of 500
enraged and determined citizens Of
Coffee county this morning. The
assemblage was composed of both
whites and black, and though the
suffering wretch pleaded for mercy
and frantically endeavored to break
the chains that tightly bound him,
not a trace of sympathy was shown
on the hardened faces that peered
at him through the flames. PEN
ningtou had committed a brutal as
sault upon Mrs. J. G. Davis, the
wife of one Of the most prominent
farmers Of Coffee county, and con-
fessed his guilt.
The crime was committed yester.
day afternoon while Mrs. Davis
was gathering vegetables in her
garden. She was STOPPING over pick
ing tomatoes when Pennington
slipped up behind her and threw
her to the ground. He choked the
fear-stricken woman into insensi-
bility, accomplished his intention
and fed through the woods nearby.
AS soon as she regained her..senses,
Mrs. Davis crawled to the house
and told her husband what had
happened.
A large posse was quickly Or
ganized, and with bloodhounds
they chased the negro until early
in the morning, when he was cap
tured in swamp.

whenever | talked on the matter

think is fair one to guide a disin-

have been blamed by the Navy De-
the country and the
worlds Who would have been
court-martialed and disgraced? 1t
would have been Admiral Schley.
1t would not have been Admiral
Sampson, who was miles away
when the engagement was begun.
If there is any honor, and heaven
knows that it was the greatest bat
tie of the seas of all modern times,
and the only engagement between
steel warships since they have been
invented, the honor is Admiral
Schley's. 1t really does not matter
what is the decision of the Board
Of Inquiry which Admiral Schley |
has asked for. The American peo-
pie know the whole affair from the
time that Cervera left Curacao until
his last ship plunged for the Cuban |
coast to save itself from sinking

It is the general fact observable
everywhere, that as the value of

between wealth and want appear.

destitution. To see human beings
in the most abject, the most help

ALL WORK IS FOR THE WORKER.

ALL WORK Is FOR THE WORKER.
What becomes of the product Of
your work, and how the world re-
ceives it, matters little. But how
you do it is everything. We are
what we are on account Of the
thoughts we have thought and the
things we have done. AS muscle
grows strong ouly through use, so
does every attribute of the mind
and every quality of the soul take
on new strength through exercise.
And on the other hand, as mnscle
not used atrophies and dies so will
the faculties of the spirit die through
disuse.
Thus we see why it is very Deces-
sary that we should exercise our
highest and best. We are making
character-building soulfibre, and
no rotten threads must be woven
into this web of life. If yon write
paper for a learned society you
are the man who gets the benefit of
that paper-the society may. If
you are preacher and prepare
