STILL WAITING.

"Just waltz said the boy, "for life is long,
Let me have a good time while l can;
Dull books and study to manhood belong
Just walt till l am a man.
"Oh, waitl he said, when manhood came,
Life is so joyous and gay;
Walt! there is time enough for fame
Rome was not built in day"
Just wait till the right time comes by and
by
Myself l shall never deceive
Just waltz and you'll see me climbing high
Success I'm sure to acheve!'
"Im waiting" said he in middle age;
II was never a man to shirk;
AS soon as the right chance comes I'll en-
gage
In hard and earnest work"
Though the snap" he awaited never
turned up,
And he sat in poverty's chair,
Still he quaffed away at his Just walt"
cup
In his castles in the air.
Thus old age finds him waiting STILL
And he sometimes thinks, with a sigh,
OF his wasted lfe-but he had his will.
And he's waiting veto die!

J. r Phillips, of Lee county was
tried in the Federal Court here
this week and convicted of damag-
.ng r. f. D boxes and interfering
with the United States mail by
tnrnlng the boxes down He was
fined $25 and costs, amounting to
1925 and was exceedingly forum
ate i'll escaping with so light a pun
ishment. The r. F. ID boxes sta
toned along the routes, while paid
for by Individuals, r recep-
tacles for the u S. mail and are
in fact the property of the govern
ment guarded by the same protec-
ton accorded p~ostoffiees and other
government repositories. Tamper-
ing with them is an offense against
Uncle Sam and punishable with
imprisonment in the penitentiary.
The trial and conviction of Phillips,
is the first for that offense yet
before the courts and Mr.. Philips,
escape with such "a light sentence
is attributable to that fact alone as
many people believe the mail boxes

Once there was a brler growing
in a ditch, and there came along a.
gardner with his spade. AS he dug
round it aud lifted 1t out the brier
said itsalf: What is lie doing
[ am only an old worthless brier,
But the gardner took it into the
garden and planted ii amid flowers
while the brier said what mistake
he has made planting an old brier
like myself among such rose tree
as these!" But the gardner came
agaiu with a keen edge knife, made
a slit in the brier and "budded" it
with a rose and when summer
came, lovely roses were blooming
on that old brier. Theu the gardner
said, Your beauty is not due to that
which came out, but that which |
put into you" this is just what
Christi is doing all the time with
poor human lives.-Ex.

Resolutions Of Respect.
Verona, Miss, Oct, %, 1904.

Verona, Miss, Oct, %, 1904.
Whereas it has pleased Him who
doeth all things best and for onr
good:to lemove u devoted friend
aud former president, Mrs. Lucy
Baker Clark, from the walks Of
life and transplant her pure and
gentle spirit in a world of rest,
peace and eternal happiness, We
therefore bow with fitting submits
sion to this seemingly cruel Attic
ton, and comfort our broken hearts
with the thought that she ''is not
dead but liveth" where all is love
and perpetual Joy in Gods glori-
Gus kingdom prepared for such as
she who rejoiced in her obedience
to His commands, therefore, be 1t
Resolved, list: That we her COL
leagues and associates of the Twen-
tieth Century Club deeply deplore
the great and irrepafable loss to
us, and feel that her chair in our
circle made vacant by her death
can never be filled, aud that we
here tenderly drop a flower of love
and genuine affection on her grave
as u token that her memory will
never be eliminated from our hegts
or r~ecollections, but will live on
as an object lesson of truth and
loyal christianity and devotion to
duty in oil the details of life. We
tender our deepest sympathy TO
the distressed and disconsolate
husband, and sorrow with the heart
broken, motherIess children and
bereaved relatives, pointing them
all to our heavenly Father who
alone can wipe away all bitter
tears of grief and let into the WIN
duws of our bleeding and crushed
hearts the sunlight of His good
ness and mercy.
End: That these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes OF the
twentieth Century Club, and the
