Alone with Conscience.

I SIT alone with my conscience.
In place where time had ceased :
And we talked OF my former living
In the land where the years In
creased:
ana felt | should have TO answer
The question put TO me,
And to face the answer and question
throughout an eternity.
The ghosts of forgotten actions
Came floating before my eight.
And things that l thought were dead
things
Were alive with tsrrsble might;
And the vision OF all my past life
Was an awful thing 10 face.
Alone with my conscience sitting
In that sOlemnlY silent place.
And I thought of far-away warning.
OF a sorrow that was 10 be mine,
II a land that then was tho future,
But now was the present time:
And I thought of my former think
inc.
OF judgement day 10 be;
But sitting alone with my conscience
Seemed Judgment enough for me.
And l wondered IL there was a fu-
ture.
To this land beyond the grave:
But no one gave me an answer.
And no one came to save.
Then l felt that the future was pres
ent.
And the present would never go
by:
For it was but the rhoaght OF my
past life
Grown into eternity.
Then ] woke from my timely dream
ing.
And the vision passed away.
And / knew the far-away warning
Was - warning OF yesterday;
And l pray that 1 may not forget II
In this land before the grave.
That l may not cry tn the future.
And no one come TO save.
And so I have learned a lesson
Which / ought to have learned
before.
And which. though learned in
dreaming.
/ nope 10 forget no more.
So l sit alone with my conscience
In the place where the years in
crease,
And I try to remember the future,
In the land where time will cease:
And / know OF the future judgment:
How dreadful soe'er il be,
That 10 sit alone with my conscience
Will be Judgment enough for me.

The True Reformer Suit.

The time given the True Reform

Taylor has not returned TO the city

lay will be asked for. IL was report
ed on the street that the officials had
decided 10 settle up, but there was
no way OF verifying the rumor. At
torney Giles B. Jackson stated that
he had a plan that he thought would
adjust the matter. IL was evident
that this plan would suit the True
Reformers, but very doubtful that II
would suit Mrs. Smith as Il would
be case OF what she considers q
certainty for an uncertainty.
II will be at least q month before
the matter will be definitely decided
The suit has not been as yet entered.
