The expenses of the United States
Commission to the coronation of King
Edward as well as the expenses of the
entertainment of Prince Henry of
Prussia are to be paid by this coun-
try. No appropriation by Congress for
the purposes will be found necessary,
however, it having been ascertained
that the State Department has suff1-
cient money in the contingent fund at
it's disposal for all necessary purposes.
This will probably prove a severe dis
appointment to some of those ultra re-
publican members of Congress who
had been preparing to make soul stir
ring speeches against royalty when the
appropriations We're asked for.

An appropriation of $6,415 is asked for
to pay the expenses of the senators

presented, but the money is asked for
in a lump sum. In all probability an
itemized account would not look we'll

perishable reputation. The pages on
which the biographies of these men are
written would look much fairer if their
characters were not so despicabIe and
loathsome. Perhaps it would be more
charitable to make due allowances for
the shortcomings of genius. Still it
is our geniuses and exalted personages
whom the rising generation are using
as beacon light by which they hope to
be guided to fame and immortal glory.
Such men can exclaim with Shake
speare when he says: II have lost the
immortal part of myself, and what.re-
mains is bestial."
There is no nobler heritage to be left to
a person than that of good reputation.
It matters little whether it is that of a
war or navy hero, statesman or sue
cessful merchant, great novelist or a
clever artist, or an honest citizen, it is
of inestimable value to the individual
as well as to the human race at large.
A good character may be symbolized
by magnificent funeral service, a
grand granite shaft to mark ones rest
ing place, and many well-worded reso-
buttons of sympathy and coincidence,
but it will long outlive these displays
of respectful homage. *x*

The Meier Do Wells,

We're gentlemen born and college bred,
And we're walking the path to hell,
With tortured soul and proud-held head
We are many and loud is the tread
Of the ranks of the ne er-do-well.
By glass and a girl and note and all
OF the devils tools we are held in thrall
Honor? Bah! we have stopped to fall,
And the tales not nice to tell.
Prayers? We've broken away and dreamed,
Led by the eyes that laughed and lied;
Prayed for honor.and strength, and tried
How our old clean living seemed.
Kisses, lies, and a broken pledge,
Soft hands pulling us over the edge,
To drag us into the mire and sedge
Where those will-o'the-wisp eyes cleaned.
Hope and happiness not for us;
We must serve where we choose to go,
Serve with never a sign Of fuss,
While the devil waits for the most of us
To pay him the debt we owe,
Gentlemen born and college bred
Trade? For pleasure our souls we sell.
Proud, dissatisfied, phantom led.
Damned. and wandering. hear the tread
OF the ranks of the ne'er- do-weli.

The Prison of Life.

MERE was once an absolute
monarch who sentenced two
of his subjects to be imprison-
ed for life. MEDICATION of the
prison was remarkable for the str,
contrast of PROSPECTS presented to view
from the only two windows it contain
ed. Situated on alofty ridge, the north
window of the Prison looked down on a
gloomy cypress swamp, which extend
ed as far as the eye could reach-the
dark foliage of the trees, with their long
moss-like funeral drapery, presented a
somber gloom, and were tenanted by
bats, owls, and other iIl-omened
birds. The water was as black as ink;
and, putrid with stagnation, it sent
forth a fetid, poisonous miasma, diff
cult to breathe, and deleterious to
health filling the atmosphere contin-
ually with dark masses of clouds and
pestilential vapors. From this swamp no
pleasant sounds greeted the ear, which
was oesiACOu Ny ouO uOOt VI 6u0 owl, Inc
fcroak of the raven, and the splash of
the alligator in pursuit of the reptiles
with which the place was infested.
The south window opened upon a
landscape, charming to the eye,
and grateful to the senses. The coun-
try, till it reached the ocean, was beau
tifully diversified with hills and wales,
clothed in perennial verdure, ornament
ed with trees, adorned with flowers, re-
freshed with purling streams, and en-
livened by the operations of industry.
On this side the air was pure, and re-
freshing sea-breeze kept the vapors of
the swamp from passing the mountain
GUS ridge on which the prison was stu
ated; no sounds were heard but the
caroling Of birds, songs of joy and
shouts of gladness. All was peace,
sunshine, prosperity, and entertain
ment.

self into the spleen for trifes, depend on
it,sucha one is a poor devil, always view
ing the gloomy miserable himself
and annoying to his companions.
When you find person envying his
neighbor, rejoicing when i'll luck over
takes him, lending willing ear to
back-biting and calumny, and never
better satisfied than when he is stabbing
the reputation of some one with the Sc
cret dagger of defamation, crusted with
rancorous malice, you may set him or
her down at the north window, with
the assurance that such persons are the
unhappy, disagreeable beings in exist
ence, who deserve to be "spurned like
the stranger ours" from the society of
every friend to social harmony and
every cherisher of benevolent feelings.
When you hear an old man repining
because he has lost the strength and
vigor of manhood -habitually peevish
and irritable-vexed at the innocent
ammusements and gayeties of young
persons, you may not only locate him
at the north window, but you may rest
assured that he has been there all his
days, and passed miserably discon-
tented life.
On the other hand, when you see one
who has been overtaken by misfortune,
bless his stars that it is no worse, and
console himself with the reflection that
when things are at the worst they must
mend, double his diligence to retrieve
his affairs and rise above the waves
that have overwhelmed him, depend on
| it, such person is viewing things in
the light of sunshine, through the tele-
scope of hope-he will be soothed with
the sympathy of the humane, encour-
| aged by the assistance of the charitable
and flourish in spite of adversely.
| When you hear one who has been de-
frauded by villain or deserted by a
friend, congratulate himself That nan
kind are not all destitute of moral hon.
esty and constancy, that is man pos,
sessing, much Of the milk Of human
kindness, who has planted himself at
the south window, from whence he will
be sure to behold many men of sterling
worth and Aristidean honesty, and
friends worthy to be grappled to the
soul with forks of steel. When you
hear young man who has been deceiy-
ed by the object of his affections rejoice
that he has escaped being united to
woman of tickle mind and wagering at
tachment, you may be certain that he
is surveying the flowery landscape from
the right quarter, from whence he will
be sure to see hundreds much more
worthy of his heart and hand than she
who disappointed him. When yop see
a person contented at all times, and in
every change of weather satisfied with
himself and pleased with bis friends

take it for granted that person is at the
south window. When you find one
who, while he takes the most favorable
view of his own misfortune, rejoices at
the prosperity of his neighbor, turns a
deaf ear to SANDER, and puts the best
construction on dubious conduct, does
not condemn till convinced by facts,
thinking no evil and enyying no mans
good fortune, rest assured that man is
contemplating the pleasing landscape
through the south window, and cannot
be rendered unhappy while he does so.

conduct was as different as the pros
poets presented from its windows. One
of them was overwhelmed with gloomy
despair. He was displeased with his
sovereign, and execrated the sentence
of incarceration. Refusing all consola-
ton, he spent his time in contemplate
ing the dreary prospect from the north
window of his prison-house, and MAX

dwelling constantly on the dreary DIES
olation before him. Instead of chang
ing his prospect, which he could have
done at pleasure, he vented his spleen

and unavailing regrets. His digestion
was impaired, his health injured, till,
| by long habit, he lost the power, as we'll
as the disposition, to change the view,
which in time completely jaundiced his
eyesight; or to cease the habit of COM

/ The other prisoner pursued a differ

and hoping his Imprisonment might

wisely determined to make the most of
his situation; to cease to lament for
that which he could not help, and study

Immediately placed himself at the south
window. Here he could see sunshine,
and amuse himself with the beautiful
prospects before him. This view cheer
ed his heart, exhilarated his spirits, and
enabled him to imbibe no small portion
of consolation from the many good
things which attracted his notice and
|elicited his admiration. While his
companion was listening to the croak-
ing of frogs and the kissing of serpents
he was RECALLED with the melody of the
feathered songsters; and while his com.
lpanion had his attention attracted by
the yoracious alligators or poisonous
creatures pursuing and devouring their

Election of County Commissioners is
of vital Importance to the County.
One of the best men before the voters
Of Ford county this year IN Mr.. L. Al.
Taylor of Buckl1n, who is the Republi-
can candidate for commissioner from
the first district. The office is an i'm
portant one, affects more than any other
the welfare of the county. It is the
board of commissioners that must pass
upon all expenditures of public money in
the county. 1t is to the interest of all to
have men on the board who are careful
and honest and at the same time he must
possesses business ability of more than
the ordinary degree He must be a man
who can not be imposed upon. He must
be able to know that bill Is right before
it is paid. Frequently there are contracts
upon which large sums may be saved or
wasted. It depends upon the business
ability OF the members of the board of
county commissioners. Mr.. Taylor was
selected by the Republicans of the first
district solely upon account of his fitness
for the position. They are confident
that if elected he will make one of the
most careful and capable members the
board has had in many years; that he
will be able to save money for the county.
While only the voters OF the first district
may cast a ballot the commissioner
this year it is a matter in which every
taxpayer Of the county is vitality inter-
ested. The people of Buck1in and Ford
township who know Mr.. Taylor inti-
mateiy will vote almost solid1y for him,
and even in the precincts further from
his home he is well known, and enjoys
the confidence of the people. The dem.
ocrats as well as the Republicans will ad-
nit that he is an excellent man for the
place.
