Across the Fields Altar.

I listen to the Sunday bells
Across the fields afar,
Beyond the din of city and
The roaring of the car; ~
And ev'ry echo falling soft,
Il calls me back again
To shady lanes and sunny meads
CT valley n Of plain. q
I see the quiet people stroll.
And hear their passing feet,
Again / see the little church
That fronts the village street.
The quaint old pews they heckon me,
The pulpit overhead.
And cen the marble stones above
My own beloved dead.
Again in fancy leaning there.
Within the corner pew,
1 look upon the faces of
The old time friends and true.
I near the lowly murmurs of
The softly whispered prayer;
Again 1 see the pastor with ~
His crown Of silver hair. naAN
ell
The lilac bushes laden with ~
Sweet censers, they distil
Perfume and shower petals on
The shady window sill.
And Oh. the echoes softly fall
On valley and on plain!
And oh, the bells they call me to
The little church again!

Question H~umorously Called to Atten-

Sometimes it seems as though the
an%ti-divorce enthusiasts were not as
scientific in their methods as they
should be. The great, Astounding
cause of divorce is, of course, mar
rage, and marriage, therefore, is the
thing to investigate. First, then, is
marriage a germ disease? We have
considered this question a long time,
getting no further with it, but the
scientific investigators will be able to
tell us. And if it is a germ disease
they a catch the germ, and the
germ once caught they can get cuk
lures and compose antitoxins which
will strip this common and serious
complaint of most of its terrors. And,
of course, once we get marriage under
control we shall be in a position to
regulate divorce with a precision alb
solutely scientific, if there is any
divorce left to regulate.-Harper's

Jefferson Davis is not often quoted in great
gatherings in this country. He cannot be said to
be a popular memory. His name and his figure
somehow looms up unIleasantly in the mists of
old passions, stern and unbending; but to me. at
least, very clean and erect land stainless; and this
makes this little speech, the last he ever made in
his life, to some young men at a convention In a
Mississippi town, very touching. Said this broken
man of destiny and fate:
The faces I see before me are those of young
men. Had you not been this I would not have
appeared alone in a defence of our Southland,
but for love of her I break my silence and speak
to you. The past is dead; let it bury it's dead;
it's hopes and aspirations. Before you lies the
future full of golden promise; full of recompense
for noble endeavor; full of national glory. before
which the world will stand amazed. Let me be-
seech you to lay aside all rancor and all bitter
sectional feeling and take your places in the
ranks of those who will bring about Cancellation,
out of which will be shed a reunited country
"Do not some of the mists about that stern and
erect figure blow away before the patience and
sweetness of these words."-Edwin A. Alderman
