The Churchyard.

ITO the memory Of Henry Daniel
Webster.
Where marble slabs as white as snow,
Tall, spectered, in the moonlight
stand,
And mourning flowers, free-will grow,
There rest the last Of man.
For years and years the slabs have
stood,
Through silent days and silent
nights;
And like no other watchman could,
Guarded whom beneath them lies.
When summers sun CLEAN on the spot,
And summer flowers bud and bloom,
Who would say that it was not
A pleasure to pass by the tomb.
Then vine and green fern kissed the
air,
And the lowly mound was fresh
and bright,
And one might read while pausing
there,
The sad words we are wont to write.
But now the leaves are off the trees,
And brown heaps lie beside the
mound,
And all the flowers and the ferns
Lie ..withered,. and faded on the
ground.
Soon, soon the snow, the soft cold
snow,
Will drift upon and cover deep,
Where once the lovely flowers grew,
And where our loved ones silent
sleep.
And when the green pines, ice.capped
stand,
And winds sleet-laiden stir the air,
The churchyard is the loneliest place,
That one can pass through any
where. "A. N. Howell,

Habits formed in youth are very apt to
stick to you in after life. Young people
who now spend every dollar they can
raise, are not apt to be thrifty in after life.
Those who go in rude company and use
rude language will naturally associate
with the ruder class in years to come.
Many parents never seem to think of those
things, but allow their children to drift
along just as it may happen.

MAN OVERHEARD
Rescued by Schooner Crew When He
Was About Exhausted.

As the schooner Cherubim. a well-known
trader to this port, was on her way up
the bay day or two ago with every sail

of the crew. was struck by the boom of
the foresail and knocked into the water
The vessel was making rapid Roadway and
a heavy sea was running at the time of the
accident. but Capt Marion <woolforo
brought the vessels head TO the wind, low
cred a boat and reached the man in time TO
save him, although he was nearly eS-
hausted. The accident happened off Sharp's
island, at point where the winds have
full sweep down the bay. The man lost his
rubber boots and his breath when he went
into the cold water; the schooner lost time,
but this was all the damage done, for the
man was saved unhurt.

Reform Work.

Yesterday Judge N. B. Feagin of the Birmingham police court tentatively dis missed a case against c. w. Elliot youth with the understanding that the father of the young man would send him at once to the reformatory near Nashville. In speaking of this decision, the judge stated: "rhe preservation of the youth insures the continued growth of any com munity, or country. Many young men. and many boys, who have strayed from the straight path probably for the first time, are turned into criminals by strict enforcement of the law. In many cases, if these defendants were judged mildly and given one other chance, they would undergo a thorough reformation. and de- velop into a good citizen.
 "The reformatory to which this young man will be sent was founded by perhaps the greatest phlanthropist that the state of Tennessee ever produced. This gen tleman lost his son, and at his own ex- pense erected and equipped this insti- tution It was given to the state, and the state has since maintained it. It is one of the finest institutions of it's kind in the United States

Effect Was Good.

When contest was being made be- fore the committee sitting at Asheville, to decide where the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, should be held" said a man who was present. "a strong fight was made by a wealthy and influential man from Ashe- vile to secure the conference for the North Carolina city. He failed. as we all know, and the conference was held in Birmingham.
 While in the city attending the con ference this Asheville man told me that it was providential that the conference came to Birmingham instead of going to Nashville. He stated thRt it had given hundreds of people an opportunity to see Birmingham and to learn something of the south's industrial center.
 ''This man told me that he shared the general belief that Birmingham was mere- ly manufacturing town and that it was not fit place in which to live He was very much surprised to find that Birmingham has what he considered the finest residence sections in any south- ern city and he said that he would leave here singing Birmingham's praises
