Nerves or Temper.

| Few people realize how very I'M
pleasant they are in their own homes,
and how seldom they give soft an
swer, or, indeed, even a polite one.
Often the hostess, who is doing much
for her guests comfort, has not the
remotest idea that her nervous, irritable
manner about all household affairs, her
snappy replies to her husband and chill
dren, and her severity and fault find
ing with her servants, spoil utterly for
her visitors their otherwise god time,
and do away with all the kindness
lavished upon them.
eve are sure" says the charitable
person, ''that it is nerves, not temper"
but, alas! when ones nerves get the
better Of one, and results in continued
irritability, it is quite hard to distin-
guish such an attack from what our
grandmothers were pleased to call
temper"
1t is hard, we admit, in this age of
constant rush and hurry to be always
amiaIle and self-controlled, and yet if
we would only try, something might be
accomplished, and at least, we could
surely, by taking many things easier,
and not fretting and nagging, get just
as much out Of life and give far more
joy and pleasure to those around us.
For it is a well known fact that he,
or more particularly she, who goes
'uietly about her work without any fuss
furry, in the end does much better
and is far more beloved than one who
in her aim to do all and more than
her share, fails ANONYMOUSLY.

LIES Lesson.

God pity him whose lips have nevci
tasted
The bitter flood which GIBBS from
sorrows well;
God pity him whose feet have ever
hasted
Long paths where gloom nor shad-
ow ever fell.
What can we know of life, until in
sadness
We blindly grope for truths that
will console;
What can we feel Of pain or joy, or
gladness,
Until deep grief has touched our
trembling soul!
We feel the Christening rod, but when
tits lifted,
And blighting pain has left us mute
and sad,
Behold! the leaden clouds are gently
rifted,
And Love beams down, and bids our
heart be glad!

Let 1t Pass.

Let 1t Pass.
Be not swift to take offence,
Let it pass!
Anger is foe to sense,
Let it pass!
Brood not daily DER a wrong,
Which will disappear ere long,
Rather sing this CHEEKY song
Let it pass!
Echo not an angry word,
Let it pass!
Think how often you have erred,
Let it pass!
Since our joys must pass away,
Like the dew-drops on the spray,
Wherefore should our sororws stay,
Let it pass!
If for good you're given ill,
Let it pass!
Oh, be kind and gentle still,
Let it pass!
Time at last makes all things straight
Let us not resent-but wait
And our triumph will be great,
Let it pass!
Bid your anger, then, depart,
Let it pass!
Lay these homely words to heart,
Let it pass!
/. Follow not the giddy throng,
Better to be wronged than wrong,
Therefore, sing this CHEEKY song,
Let it pass!
Strife corrodes the purest mind,
Let it pass!
AS the unregarded wind,
Let it pass!
Any vulgar souls that live,
May condemn without reprieve,
Ills the noble who forgive,
Let it pass!

WITH THE POETS :

Thoughts on Baby's Hand.
Will it ever grow hard With toiling?
Will it ever be stained with crime?
Will it WELD the pen Of the gifted,
And trace out its soul song in
rhyme?
Will it soften the pillow of sickness?
And smooth out the wrinkles of care?
Will it guide the steps of the penitent.
And point to the altar of prayer?
Will these little waxen fingers,
Which now lie clasped in mine,
Be rough and hard when years have
flown,
Or be white and wear jewels that
shine?
All, now there comes sad question,
And ask it with fear and dismay,
Will this dear little hand, while no
larger than now,
Be laid in the cold grave away?
Dear, dear little hand, full of dimples,
My wish is, when childhood has
flown,
Thy clasp may be true and each that
meets thine
May be as sincere as thine own.
Receiving and giving blessing,
Pressed only in friendship and love-
And, when it no longer has earth work
to do,
Join hands with the angels above.

The fact THAT the state of Missis-
sippi captured twogrand prizes at the
Worlds Fair, one Cor cotton and the
other for her forestry exhibits, is a
rebuke in itself to those who sat down
at home or went to the fair, then crit
icised and ridiculed the States ex-
hibits.
Those people who were Mr.. Henry's
severe critics were am3ng the number
who did not do hands turn to help
him get up creditable exhihit from
this state, we would venture to say,
without exception, or else they were
those who were incapable of judging
an exhibit, and spentS Stheir time in
ST. Louis watching the stomach dam
GERS on the Pike -
Our governor is one OF those who
has either covertly ridiculed Mr.. Hen
ry's work or damned 70 with faint
praise, and yet we expect TO hear him
speak of the states success in secur-
ing these two great honors as though
he had done the thing himself.
How much work-and tactful work
at that-was required to make the
States exhibit what it is, few can
realize, but this we know from per-
sonal observation: The greatest OBJ
stacle the commissioners encountered
was the apathy of the great majority
Of our citizens throughout the state

many remedies used but relief and
permanent good was found only in the

that you get the genuine DeWitt's

often heard druggists inquire of Gus

or for an adult, and if for child they
almost invariably recommend Cham

for this is that it always cures. There
