is more fascinating to the c~lean-minded, clear
headed reader than any novel could possibly be.
By solid reading we mean reading that teaches
truth in a living way; reading that has a deep
human interest in it; not interesting In that 1t
is depraved or immoral, but interesting in all
that is best, noblest, and purest in human life.
A taste for this reading, which can best be cult
waited by avoiding trashy novels, trashy news
papers, and reading the rest mainly by headlines,
is one of the most valuable assets that any man
can possess. 1t should be cultivated in every
possible way, lifting as it does the young man
or the young woman above the level of the low,
the frivolous, or the depraving.
While there has never been a time in the his
tory of the world when so much trash was put
on white paper to defile or enfeeble the human
mind, there never has been a time since type were
invented when there has been so much good read
ing to be procured at so low a price. While there
are tens of thousands of books and papers that
are fit for nothing but kindling the fire on a
cold morning, and some of them whose very touch
is contamination, there are other books and pa
pers which by their uplifting, stimulating inau-
ence and educational value are worth not perhaps
their weight in gold (this might be an exaggera-
tion) but worth many times their cost.
By all means form a taste for solid and yet
interesting reading; that is, if you are the sort
of a boy, girl, or man who can appreciate the best
that modern science and art can give. If not,
if you have no taste for these things but prefer
trash, the more the pity.-Wallace's Farmer.

The Joy Of Living.

owe know but little of joy; and as for the iov
of living, most of us have missed that altogether
the lack of happiness in the world and the m
reasonableness of such a state of affairs is the
subject of an inspiring paper by Lille Hamilton
French, in the January Delineator. ALTHOUGH
the writer lays much stress upon the non-exist-
ence of happiness, she points a way to individual
betterment of conditions. Many people sink m
der a burden of care, whereas care should be an
uplifting influence, "for the saddest of life is not
found where Care is, but there where Love is and
Care is denied" There is that in life to recon-
pense for sorrow, however great; the trouble is
that many cannot see the good about them every
where, in Nature. Therein is the secret of all
Joy, is Miss French's message-a right under
standing of life, looking on the bright side of
things. "Yet even when your STRENGTH dies with
discontent-and here is the very joy of life itself
Mature, with it's remedial forces, will bring
strength back to you, for Nature, which is life.
goes on eternally, renewing all things and always
ready to renew you"

Good Work of a Debating Society.

"There are two prominent members of the
Baptist Convention in whom I feel especial in
terest," said Mr.. G. W. Tillett to a reporter.
"They are known to me as Livy and Archie John
son. They are known to the public as Rev. LlV-
ingston Johnson, State Missionary Secretary, and
Mr.. Archibald Johnson, editor of Charity and
Children. Both of them now have distinguished
themselves and are leading lives full of the great
est usefulness to church and State. We were all
young men together down in Richmond County
twenty years ago. They we're reared in the
Spring Hill neighborhood, near Laurinburg.
There was at Spring Hill in those days a far
famed temperance society-one of the Oldest or
CARNATIONS of the kind in the world. 1t was
a creator of wonderful influence, not only tor
temperance, but for general literary culture
They met every week or two and had debates
on all sorts of topics. The result was, that the
boys in the neighborborhood, almost to a man,
were ready debaters. You will do we'll to avoid
making an issue with one of these Johnson boys
or, in fact, with any one who was trained in that
old temperance society. Out of that Spring 1lH
neighborhood went some men of note. John Mum
roe Johnson, one of the leading lawyers of South
Carolina, is from that place; also John CharleS
Mcneil, the poet, now of Laurinburg, who has
written some Of the best negro dialect songs l ever
read. His poetry is admitted to the pages OF
The Century Magazine and periodicals OF that
class. All of these men, and many others Oh
prominence, had a great part of their training
in that wonderful temperance society."DChar

Robinson and Elias.

Committeeman Robinson, of North Carolina,
who refused to sit at Senator Hanna's dinner
Saturday evening because a negro committeeman
was also one of the guest, used to be a Judge
in the Tar Heel State. Hope Elias, an attorney
of considerable reputation in those parts, once
appeared in a case before him.
Robinson's mind was fully made up concerning
the Judgment to be rendered, and he accordingly
informed Elias that no argument was necessary.
Notwithstanding this, Elias began to argue.
Judge Robinson again Informed him that he need
not continue, but again his word was not needed.
"Sheriff," said the judge, calling that official
to his desk, "have you any cotton hereabouts?"
The sheriff allowed that there were several
bales of cotton just outside the courthouse, and,
complying with instructions, he brought the
judge a handful of the fluffy staple. The judge
stuffed a wad of it in each of his ears, gathered
up the legal papers on his desk. and beginning to
carefully read them, observed:
"Now, Mr.. Elias, you may proceed. "-Washing-
ton Post.

Why He Was Not Promoted.

He watched the clock.
He was always grumbling.
He was always behind-hand.
He had no iron in his blood.
He was not willing, but untitled.
He didn't believe in himself.
He asked too many questions.
He was stung by a bad book.
His stock excuse was 81 forgot"
He wasn't ready for the next step.
He did not put his heart in his work.
He learned nothing from his blunders.
He felt that he was above his position.
He chose his friends among his interiors.
He was content to be a second-rate man.
He ruined his ability by half doing things.
He never dared to act on his own Judgment.
He did not think it worth while to learn how.
He tried to make bluff take the place of
ability.
He thought he must take amusement every
evening.
Familiarity with ship-shod methods paralyzed
his ideal.
He thought it was clever to use coarse and pro-
fame language.
He was ashamed of his parents because they
we're old-fashioned.
He initiated the habits of men who could stand
more than he could.
He did not learn that the best part of his sal
airy was not in his pay envelope.-Orison Sweet
Marden, in Success"

THE HOME CIRCLE
A New Year Greeting

"a happy New Yearw So we lightly cry
To those around, in careless idle phrase,
But ali what years are happy meath the SKYE
Whose paths are altogether pleasant ways!
And so to you, my friend, 1 fain would give
Another greeting for the coming year
A greeting that through all it's days may live,
AS tender music fingers on the ear.
We know the year that holds the summers prime,
Holds, too, the winters icy storm and frost,
The changing blasts of springs caprlclous time,
The mellow autumn when the world is lost
In beauty, like a dream, when golden days
Fall softly on us with the falling leaves,
And purple hills are wrapped in radiant haze,
Like the enchanted mist that Fancy weaves.
So, too, the years of changing human life
Hold many a season clasped in their embrace
Days bright with hope, days dark with weary
strife,
And days serene with fair, pathetic grace.
Shall l, who fain would call upon your way
From sunny skies on fowery meadows? Nay,
Not so God blesses those He makes his own
Souls Tapped in glowing sunshine seldom rise
To face unblenched the driving storm and ram;
And hearts most truly and most gently wise
Have learned their wisdom in the school OF
pain.
Therefore, o steadfast soul! / ask for you
Courage and strength to meet the hercest blast;
And Gods best sunshine, faithful heart and true,
To gid your pathway when the storm is past.

Artful John.

"John," said Mrs. Griggsley, eff you are too
much of a coward to go down and scare those
burglars out, I'll go myself. I'll let them know
that there is at least one man in the house"
"Maria," said Mr.. Griggsley, as she started for
the stairway, "I wouldn't go. 1t sounds like a
mouse"
After she had jumped back into bed and cover
ed herself with two quilts and a blanket, Mr..
Griggsley heard these words, in low, plaintive
tones:
off you love me, John, please don't desert me"

The Taste for Solid Reading.

In the multiplication of books and newspapers
there is very great danger of the young people
losing a taste for solid reading. About four
ffths of the matter that is published IN these
later days is not worth reading; In fact, had
better be left unread. The boy that forms the
habit of novel reading, unless he has a very dis
Greet father to guide him as to the kind of novels
he should read, is very apt to lose the taste tor
solid reading. The father whose reading Is main
ly the newspaper, and especially the daily papers,
and more especially the yellow journals" rem
ders it likely that if he ever had a taste for solid
reading he is losing it. The girl or woman
whose main reading is that of the cheaper maya
zines or fashion journals is not likely to develop
very much on the intellectual side of her life.
Newspapers have their place. but simply as pur-
veyors of news, the g~oings-on in the county, the
State, and the world. They are best read by
headlines, emitting the reading of everything ex-
cept the most important and that in which for
some reason we have an immediate personal in
terest.
There are novels that teach great lessons, and
more effectively, too, than the author could do
by direct narrative. Dickens in some of his novels
laid bare the horrible condition of prison life,
and in others dashed with an unsparing hand the
vices, follies, and foibles of the English people
better than he could have done in any other way.
Walter Scott in his novels depicts the main phases
of Scottish character and the life of a hundred
years preceding his time in a way that i%nstructs
as well as charms and leaves no bad taste in the
mouth. These are novels with a purpose. 9th
ers are decidedly immoral, convey no real idea Of
any value to any human being, and to all our
selves with these is simply to fill up with the east
wind, and worse. The anne may be said of a
large number of newspaper publications.
By solid reading we do not mean dry read
ing. A great deal of the solid reading these days
