VOICES OF THE PAST.

VUICEo Uf IHE rASI.
A moan of anguish, as a requiem sol
emn,
Rolls thro the lapse Of centuries
dmmed and gone,
Telling, by ruined wall and fallen col.
umn,
The wreck of empires since Times
earliest dawn.
From old Assyrian scattered piles and
temples,
From tombs of kings on Egypt's
river shore,
Engraved with names of conquerors,
examples
OF vile tyranny and waste of war;
From Afric's torrid realms, Numld-
ian mountains,
Arabla's desert, trackless as the sea,
Or India s jungles and her sunny foun-
tains.
Comes up fearful cry of agony.
That sound is ringing down success
sive ages
From western lands, by plain and
rock and flood.
AS History weeps upon the blood
stained pages
She faln would fill with records pure
and good.
Hear the deep groans, the burning
lmprecations.
OF spirits torn from tenements of
clay,
The chorused voices of the murder
ed nations.
Like forest leaves by whirlwinds
swept away.
The myriads cry in waking tones of
thunder,
ooh. Man! the direst foe of human
kind!
How long wilt thou the bonds of ma
tions sunder,
Deaf to all mercy and to pity blind?r
Cursed by the greed Of wealth-the
lust of glory,
The thirst insatiate for extended
sway
or tyrants, known in fading ancient
story,
Or warning princes of later day!
How long shall man deflle, with blood
fraternal,
This his fair home where Peace alone
should dwell?
How long shall demons greet with joy
Internal
The clash of arms and the fierce bat
tie yell?
Heed the past lesson! Say to future
A nations glory is in arts Of peace!
Let poets, statesmen, orators and
sages
Their adulation of the warrior cease.
Pass onward in your high and holy
mission.
Friends of a cause that shall not
know defeat: Uet
There must be toll, but there shall be
fruitlon,
When armies lay their war drums at
your feet"

living on Marsh street, named

the ideas of Rev. D. 81. Cassal, of
Oklahoma, who visited The MIR
RoR Office with the Rev. Mr.. Pow
ers last Monday. Father Cassal
has had charge of mission in the
territory for many years, and says
there is much to admire in the
character Of the red man.
Oklahoma, says Father Cassal,
is a great country. The soil is re-
markably rich and productive,

ing is a prosperous business

possible to irrigate the territory
it will bloom like Eden.

Meeting ing and instruc-
tive meeting of the Chautauqua
circle was held in the chapel
last Sunday. The papers read
showed care and study in their
preparation, the discussions evoked
were pertinent, and the music was,
as usual, excellent.
A sketch entitled Memories, !"
by the secretary of the circle, was
the first number on the program.
It was a short tale Of the many
sides of life that a railroad man
constantly sees, and of few ex-
periences he is apt to undergo.
This was followed by ma Lady
Lou chorus by the glee club;
after which a member of class A
reported on the studies of the
month by reading a paper on "a
Glimpse of Dante
This paper was one Of the most
thoughtfully and carefully pre-
pared essays the circle has listened
to for some time. It called forth
considerable discussion and proved
that the books provided for the
circle have been read. A duet, "On
the Field of Glory was the next
number, and then came another
class report, wealth as it Rules
the World" by class E man.

The Greenhouse. real "dull season."
There is always something to be
done among the plants, even in the
middle Of winter, and the persons
who think that all there is to gar
dening and raising flowers is to
plant the seed, sit around and
watch the plant grow and pluck
the blossoms, are away off their
bearing.
During the past week Guard
Backland and Sinbad have been
engaged in making cuttings from
the most vigorous plants of this
season, to be set out next spring.
The cuttings, or slips, are propo-
gated in moist sand, where they
are kept until a minute root
springs forth. When this occurs
they are potted, first in very small
pots and then, as the plant pro-
crosses, in larger ones. By this
process vigorous, healthy plants
are assured.
The cuttings propogated last
week were taken from roses of
various kinds, carnations, fuchsias,
verbenas, marguerites, Rex bego-
Mas and Giganthium Roseria be-
gonias- latter is a very modest
flower not deserving of the name
it labors under.

SALE NOT A SUCCESS.

The much advertised scheme of
the Youngstown, Ohio, branch of
the Salvation Army to sell children
at auction was fiat failure. The
authorities announced it would not
be allowed, the G. A. R. threatened
violence, and the proprietor of the
theatre where the sale was to be
held, advertised it would not take
place.
At the sale, wealth, society, pleas
ure and fame all made bids, but
the children were finally awarded
to Christianity and their lives thus
dedicated. About twenty people
attended the sale.

KENTUCKY HAS NO TIME FOR LIT

That hoary and venerable pic

Toms Cabin" is not relished in
Kentucky. It wandered into Lex
ington the other day. Little
Eva" bloodhounds and all the rest
of the time-honored paraphernalia,
and attempted to show at the opera
house there. Immediately a pro-
test arose. The Daughters of the
Confederacy sent a protest to the
manager of the theatre. They
said that the best citizens and old
families living in and about the
city we're once slave owners, as a
heritage, and not of their own
choosing; that the incidents of
uncle Toms Cabin" are not typ
ical of slave life in the south, but
of isolated cases; that the produc-
ton of the play and it's being adj
vertised with bloodhounds and
pictures of an old negro in chains
and slave owner with whip in
hand give false idea of the times
to the children of the city, and
that it shows disrespect to the
southern gentlemen and their
families in that part of the coun-
try.
The petition was signed by four
of the most prominent women of
the chapter and Endorsed unani-
mously by the members. The play
was withdrawn.

Lexington, KY, society is all
astir over what is termed rudeness
on the part Of some of the male
dancers at the cotillion. Society
had arranged the figures, many of
which were suggested by the opera
dolly Warden
In one of the figures the young
women who had charge of the
affair had planned a pleasant sur
prise for the gentlemen. They had
screen stretched across the room,
extending up some ten inches
from the floor, and on one side of
this the lady dancers assembled
and held artfully for the admira-
ton of the gentlemen dancers her
ankles and feet.
To the tune of IF Love Her
Dainty Ankles and Her Feet" the
gentleman was to kneel by the
pair Of his choice. Some of the
young men were unequal to the
occasion and seized the objects on
exhibition and thereby threw So
ciety into an uproar, causing the
young matrons many heartaches

STUDENTS STRIKE.

Over one hundred boys and girls
Of the Rome, N. Y, high school
went on strike last Thursday be-
cause they disapproved of the
methods of discipline followed by
the principal, H. W. Harris. The
students claim that a pupil was
choked by the principal in the
assembly room of the school. Mr..
Harris denies this charge. They
struck work with school yells and
flying ribbons, but later in the day
their demonstration fell rather
fiat. They paraded the streets of
the town, but people paid little
heed to them, and yelling soon be-
came Improbable. Many we're
denied re-admittance to the school.
METHODIST TRIES TO FLY.
The Free Methodists of Verona,
Ont, held revival meeting one
evening last week, at which one
member of the congregation be-
came so elated that he thought he
could fly. He tried it and landed
in a kerosene lamp which fell to
the floor with the aspirant for
heavenly honors. The lamp blew
up, the oil ignited and at one time
five men and three women were on
fire. Several we're seriously burned.
A panic ensued in which many
persons we're injured.
OPEN SAFETY PIN IN CHILD'S THROAT.
For two months an open safety
pin rested in the throat of the
baby daughter of John and Volga
Woodward, Huron, S. D. Two
months ago the little one
commenced to cough and to suffer
from sore throat. Physicians were
unable to get at the cause of the
trouble, and the child wasted rap
idly away.
Last Sunday, while the father
was holding the child, it was seized
with a fit of severe coughing and
suddenly some substance was no.
ticed in the child's mouth which
was removed by the father and
proved to be an open safety pin.
It was this pin that had caused the
trouble, and it is supposed to have
been in a cooky that the child had
eaten. The child is now recov-
ering.
HE TORE HIS HORNS OFF.
Andrew Newman, while at work
in the lumber woods near Skanee,
Mich, was surprised to be attacked
by a large buck deer. The on
slaught was so sudden that the
man, dropping his canthook,
grabbed the deer by the antlers.
He gave jerk and threw the ami
NAL in the snow, and as he did so,
to Newman's surprise, the antlers
broke off. The deer quickly re-
gained his feet and bounded away
into the woods.

This school and probably others had
tentative existence for the first few years
of Raleigh's history But the prominent
and decisive movement toward an edu-
cational institution of permanent char
acter was made in the Legislature on
Friday. November 81, 1901. On that day,
the Hon. Timothy Bloodworth presented
a petition from the inhabitants of the
city of Raleigh praying that the Assem-
