Lines To A Friend.

Looking back over life's tortu-
GUS path, to the happy period spent
at Iuka, with a feeling somewhat
akin to that of the weary, way
worn traveller in the great Sahara,
who turns and views with longing
eyes the fair oasis where he happi-
ly sojourned for time, the writer
has been melted to tho composition
of the following verses:
o don't you remember when long
ago, Clara,
We used to stroll over the hill,
And leaving the town with its
noises behind us,
We wandered beside the old mill!
And there with companions beside
the clear waters,
How swift flew the bright golden
hours,
AS we searched along the stream
for the pretty white pebbles,
Or bound into garlands the flow
ers.
Say, does it still stand there, that
weather worn building,
AS then, by the swift-howing
creeki
Do wayelets still murmur when
kissing the pebbles
The pebbleaso round and SO sleek
And do the tall pines in their ever
green dresses
Still murmur the old soothing
tale2
The wild honeysuckle still spread
its sweet fragrance
Throughout the sweet love hal
lowed vale!
Do magnolias blossom as sweet Us
they used tos
Do mosses still carpet the ledge Z
The mocking bird trilI the sweet
notes of his ballads
The red bird still chirp from the
hedges
Are the woods still as green that
environ Iuka?
The skies, are they still just as
blue!
The maidens-'tis useless to ask OF
them, Clara,
For none is as fair as were you.
Have the years left you more than
they've taken in passing
Are you ri.her or poorer in JOY!
Does the future still blush quite as
rosy with omise
AS when we were maiden and boyI
o Clara, for'you does sweet fancy
still hallow
Those scenes where we once did
commupe.
o tell me, does memory still she'd
its sweet odOr
Where once our fond hearts were
atunes

You are Always as Young as You Feel.
(Succcss.)

People grow old 10y thinking themselves
old When they reach the age Of 40, 80
or CO. they imagine that they look like
others of the same age. and that they
soon will be useless, unfit for work, and
unable to perform their wonted duties.
As surely as they think this, it will come
true. for thought is creative. How many
Of us can say, with Job, THE thing
which / greatly feared is come upon me"
The time will come when children will
not be allowed to celebrate their birth
days; when they will know that, by think
ing themselves young, they will remain
young. and that they will cease to grow
old when they cease to believe in old age.
The body is built up of beliefs, and our
convictions are stamped upon every fiber
of our beings. What we believe, what
we think, that We are; 90 people who re
main young in spirit never grow old.
Not one Of hundred students, of whom
the writer was one, under Oliver Wendell
Holmes, at Harvard. ever thought Of hIm
as an old man, although he had then
passed his SOth birthday. His spirit was so
Young, and hc was So buoyant, 50 fresh
and 50 full of life that we always thought
of him rs one Of ourselves. His viy2city
and iOyOuSucss were contagious. lou could
not be in his presence five minutes with
out feeling brighter and better for it. The
genial doctor never practicCd medicine,
yet he did more to relieve human suffering
than many pTaCticinG physicians. His
presence was tonic; it was 4 perpetual
delight TO be near him.

Hence, when he should have been at

We remained there until the morning
Of the second day, and then Col. Summers

Of sending out a battalion to look for it.
Therefore, early in the morning we start

with him and was amply able to care for
himself. He could be in no danger from
which our little battalion could rescue
him. II the enemy were in sufficient force
