TIE FOOLISH THINGS YOU DID.

It's good to wander back again
Among the old home folks,
1t rather satisfies man
To hear the same old jokes.
To hear somebody say, II knew
You when you were a kid"
But some one always tells you Of
The foolish things you did.
Your heart beats lightly as it did
In long-forgotten days,
When at some well-remembered spot
Refectiyely you gaze.
But 1t seems queer that all your good
And noble deeds are hid,
And people only call to mind
The foolish things you did.
They talk OF elders who'ye gone out
Into some foreign land;
They tell Of things these other folks
Have done and they seem grand,
But when it comes to talk Of you,
Their minds can not be rid,
OF the belief you'd like to hear,
The foolish things you did.
You know you've done thing or two
Which shows you've got some sense,
But every time they talk Of you
They're certain 70 commence
With tales Of what a fool you we're
When you lived here-a kid"
They have forgotten all except
The foolish things you did.

To the Editor OF the Ledger;
MEXICO, Mo-, Oct. 6.-Last Sunday
the topic discussed at some Of the
young peoples societies was "Abra-
ham and Men OF the Bible.n 1t was
clearly demonstrated that faith, such
as was counted TO Abraham for right
eousness, is the main factor ln religious
and secular affairs OF this world.
Faith, left out Of commercialism,
would leave but sorry foundation.
Faith, out Of religion, leaves nothing
but leaves, the hull without the sub
stance. But, Mr.. Editor, only wanted
to say that this faith was this day
brought into occular effect in this
city. Two months ago one Qet bis

was jailed in Mexico, charged with
forgery. He is not yet eighteen years
old, tall, fair OF features and brow be-
tokening above the ordinary intellect;
keen and yet subdued expression Of
eye, be showed that be was not Of the
baser sort, base at heart. Through
the influence Of kind attorney-one
Of that oft misjudged class, accused Of
devouring widows houses,n and
things, this young man, backed by
bondsmen who are worth 800, 900, was
given his liberty, TO come into court
and answer to the serious charge when
his case is called This is another
practical exhibition OF faith, such as
the world stands 50 much In need.
Possibly, probably, many young men
are following in the wake this young
man told us was his downfall; gam
bling and its attendant evils. Young
man, take heed, you, TOO, may fall,
and remember, young friend, the
trend OF the song, 'sThe bird with the
broken pinion never scared 50 high
again" In a moment you may begin

you in a felons cell and a sinners
