AN OLD FASHIONED WOMAN.
No clever, brilliant thinker she,
With college record and degree
She has not k own the paths OF fame,
The world has never spoke her name,
She walks in old, long trodden ways,
The valleys of the yesterdays.
Home is her kingdom, love her dover;
She seeks no other wand of power,
TO make home sweet, bring heaven near.
To win s. smile and wipe tear,
And do her duty day by day,
in her OWN quiet place and way.
Around her childish hearts axe twined
As round some reverend saint enshrlneo,
And following hers the childish feet
Are lead to ideals true and sweet,
And find all purity and good
In her Givinest motherhood.

Her very smile q blessing throws,
And hearts are happier where she goes,

To whisper love; thank God for her.

FAULT FINDING.

a man would get very false no.
tion Of his standing among his friends
and aceuaintances II 1t we're possible
as many would like to have it posi-
ble-to know what is said OF him be-
hind his back. One day he would go
about in a glow Of self. esteem, and
the the next he would be bowed under
a miserable sense Of misapprehension
and disgust. It would have been i'm
possible for him to put this and that
together and strike an average"
The fact is, there is strange human
tendency to take the present friend
into present confidence. With strong
natures this tendency proves often a
stumbling block; with weak natures
it amounts to fckleness.
Never employ yaursef to discover
the faults OF others-look to your own.
You had better find out one Of your
own faults than ten Of your neigh
boris. When q thing does not suit
you think OF Sc me pleasant quality in
it. There is nothing so bad as it
might be. Whenever you catch your
self in fault-dnding remark, say
some approving one in the same
breath, and you will soon be cured.
Some Of the best Of US have too many
in6rmities to answer for, says Dean
Swift, We ought not to be too severe
upon those OF Others; and, therefore,
if our brother is in trouble, we ought
to help him without inquiring over
sencusly what produced it. True
worth does not exul5 in the faults OF
others; as true refinement turns away
from grcssness and oeformity, in
stead Of being tempted to indulge in
an unmanly triumph over it.

PLEADED FOR BIS LIFE.

Floyd was unarmed and vas shJt
WITH his hands over. his head and
while he was begging for bis life.
Capt. J. W. Hamel, president OF the

eye witness. While F oyd was lying
on tie grtu.4d in dying condi.i, he
was reviled and Gu ssi by his heart
les, murderer. Morrison tried to
make his escape, but Mr.. JEFF God
fey, a cltton buyer, SAW the crime
and, stepping into h,s office, got q
pisto', and as Morrison approached,
covered the murderer. The attefs
endeavored to draw his pistol, but a
shot from Mr.. Go1frey's pistol caused
him to stop and tie murderer was
seZ,d.
The news spread rapidly. There.
had been few people in t,wn at the
time, but within half an our 500 men:
had g.t cred from all parts Of the
surrounding country. There plars.
we're well laid. They managed TO
darken the electric lights in the
