THE World Knew that He was
Christian"

The announcing the death OF Thomas L.
Woodside, Of Greenville, the Mountaineer,
among other things, said:
"His religion was steadfast and unobtru-
sive. and the world knew that he was
Christian"
A more beautiful or more impressive ex.
preston about any man has not come under
our observation. "The world knew that he
was q Christian" Is a statement which we
can accept at its face value, and 1t Ia In strik'
ing contrast with the funeral orations which
we 90 often hear. 1t Is often the case that
"the wo.ld' :did not know Of the virtues
which are attributed to the dead, until
announced at his funeral, and 1t Is
often the case that men returning from
the funeral deny the correctness OF the
speech in reference to the deceased. 1t Is
great injustice to the dead TO exalt their
character and to attribute to them virtues
which "the world" would deny to them.
Let the pulpit and the press speak nothing
but the truth concerning the dead, and let US
speak NO evil OF them.

'ught to be fed and watered often

ought to be fed and watered often.
| We are glad to get a slice of bread
a piece of apple, and dipper of wa
ter.
Always feed us from the palm OF
your hand SO that we may not bite
your fingers.
When you put us in strange stables
never trust the hostler to give US the
oats, but go out and see that he does it,
and stay by us till we eat them, and
see that he don't forget to water US.
Never put the bits into our mouths
on a cold day until you have first
warmed them, so that they won't take
the skin off our tongues and make it
painful to eat. You wouldn't like to
have frosty iron bits put in your
mouth on a cold day.
Always warm our bits in cold
weather, and when from old age we
can't chew, please take US to horse
doctor and have our teeth filled so that
we can.
When you find our blankets blown
off in cold weather, please put them on
again and tuck them under the har-
ness.
Don't keep twitching the reins when
you drive us. You wouldn't like any
body twitching the reins all the time
if the bit were in your mouth.
Don't over-drive US, and then op the
other hand don't let. us stand in the
stable al day without exercise.
Horses and dogs need exercise every
day, and can't be well without it.
You wouldn't like to be tied up in a
stall all day and not permitted to go
out.
Please to make it q rule that you
will never ride in a carriage drawn by
horse with mutilated tail, or poor
looking horse, when you can posslbl y
help it, and always look at the check
rein. Always select the carriage that
has the best looking horse and tell the
drivers why you do it.
Then when we get run down, we
should like to be sent off in the coun-
try to take little vacation and pick
up.
If all the boys and girls, every time
they see a poor, miserab e-looklng
horse, would simply say so the driver
could hear them, four words, | pity
that horse, it would be great benefit
to us.
But above all things, kindly remem-
ber that you can do us Il world of good
by simply talking to us kindly, telling
us we are good fellows and all that.
All we horses and dogs and birds
and all dumb animals know the tone
of your voices, and we like to he talked
to kindly just as well as you do.
You can make us very happy by
only talking to us kindly.
And when it becomes necessary that
we should die, don't let anybody try
to kill us that don't know how, but
send us to our society for the preven-
tation Of the cruelty TO animals, that
employs skillfuI men to kill all horses
and dogs and cats humanely, and let
them send Il man to kill US merclful'y,
without fore-knowlde:e and without
pain. Geo. II. Angel.

If I generally draw kindly, but
some day give out and stop, and tell
you as plainly as l can that you have

go to beating and swearing at me.
1t is much kinder and better to talk

in hole ask the people near to take
hold and push.
We horses can't tell our feelings as
you can. Sometimes We are dizzy

Sometimes the hostler drives us half

Sometimes he don't get up in time TO
give us our break kfast-sometimes he
forgets to water us.
And then we get old and feeble just
as men do, and the older we grow, if
we have worked faithfully, the more
kindly we ought to be treated, and it

thought was anything intended 10 show dis.
respect 70 the memory OF good man, yet for
all this we were tired Of seeing 80 much said

and in no way connected with the purity and
goodness Of the man, who had been SO excel.
lent ruler and who had given the world 30
many reasons to revere his memory.

cards was forbidden or tabooed. But as time
passed, the objection TO card playing has sub
sided, until now, only small per cent. OF the
more Intelligent and more pious people enter
tain serious opposition TO cards. Whist Is an
intellectual game, which the best people on
earth may play with pleasure and profit,
without incurrlng the least danger to their
morals. But there are other games which are
not quite 80 genteel, ranging all the way
down 10 the idiotic and seuseless game OF
finch, and about which latter game this
editor knows no more than the average
pulpit orator knows about poker.

And we think 1t great Injustice
for any one to make insinuations aud TO
cast 1mputatlons against the character and
honesty Of young people who may like TO
dance.
A learned divine In the city OF Atlanta not
SO long ago said that he never spoke against
dancing. Dancing, he said was to him, an
evidence OF lack OF spirituality. Instead of
preaching against the effect he sought TO
remove the cause by inspiring his young peo-
pie with greater spirituality.
Instead OF trying to scast even the sem
blance OF a shsdowover the life and conduct
Of the young, IT seems TO us that an effort
should be made to hold them up TO the
highest standards while teaching them to
grow in grace. An effort in that direction
Is certainly more in accord with the
right than is any speech which would
suggest thoughts which no man would dare
TO utter.
Let no man misunderstood us, or put an
evil construction on what we have said. We
have great respect for all those who may have
from the pulpit spoke against dancing, and
we are not attempting to encourage dlssipa-
ton in dancing any more than we would
encourage excessive indulgene in other pleas
ures.i
We would be just to all, and would therefore
protest against the wrong which Is so often
done to those who dance occasionally. We
think no man can by sneer or lnslnuatiCn
truthfully make charges against the thou
sands OF good women who dance.
Protesting against dancing, because 1t ls
against the rules OF any church Is just and
proper.
