SkepticAI Poet.

Joaquin Miller was once conversing with learned professor who was wis iting California. To the poets query, What do you do!" the professor an swered that he held the chair of meta physics and logic at a New England university. Whereupon the venerable Miller with an encouraging smiie, re- assuringly patted the professor on the shoulder. Logic and mstaphy sics, eh? We'll.

MEDDLERS

The most disturbing element in so- ciety is the meddler, whether of the masculine or feminine gender. People, it seems, must have something to do with other peoples business and must do a certain amount of gossipping about it. There is nothing about do- mestic or social life too sacred or of too private a nature to be aired by the gossiper in an atmosphere filled with eager ears.
 Mir. Pecksniff' s experience in calling up Mrs. Sairy Ga.,p to sit up with old Mir. Chuzzlewit will not have escaped any reader of Dickens. The frightful reproach and villifcation which the sleek and amiable gentleman encoun- tered from the danes who supposed he had come upon an errand touching not the close of life, but the other end, ;" testified to the intimate concern which is manifested for babies-t though the babies can shift for themselves all the rest of their wretched little lives.
 The question arises when will per sons ever learn to respect the sacred in dividual rights which must remain sa- cred in any society? When will igno- rant meddlers receive the obloquy which the mischief they create earns for them? There are no immediate prospects that the time will ever come, but the time is here now when rapid ly increasing fraction of society irecog- nizes the poisonous and insufferable quality of the bore who butts into the private concern of those about him.

WORK OF WOMEN
THEY WOULD BUILD MONUMENT
 TO MORGAN.
Daughters of Confederacy start Move ment to Perpetuate Name and Fame of Alabama's Great
 Statesman.
Advertiser Bureau.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma. June 16.s
 During this week the Selma Chapter of the Daughters of the Confedcraey will undertake the movement of rais- ing a fund with which to have carved a monument which will be erected over the grave of John Tyler Morgan.
 The movement will be a popular one and there Is no doubt that the proposed fund will be subscribed to liberally and that q sufficient amount will be raised and that in about year the monu- ment will be completed and unveiled.
 Members of tho local Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy have thought of raising a fund to build the monument since they heard of the death of this gifted Selmian but did not make public their intentions until af- ter the funeral services yesterday af- ternoon. No plans or designs for the proposed monument have been decided upon but at the proper time designs will be looked at and very likely the monument will be made from Alabama or Tennessee marble.
 Mrs. B. H. Craig. President of the Selma Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy, and the other members Of the Chapter will work hard until this marble shaft has been erected to the memory of Alabama's greatest states
 
 throughout the State will no doubt give liberally and lovingly to the movement and 1t is expected that the amount will be quickly raised.
 Hundreds of citizens visited Live Oak Cemetery this afternoon and viewed the newly made grave beside that of William R. King In the cool hours of the evening woman's gentle hand sprinkled water upon the many floral tributes upon this grave which the hot sun of the day had withered.
 The daughters of Senator Morgan, Miss Mary E. Morgan and Miss Corne- lia Morgan will remain in the city as the guests of Mrs. M. M. Force several days. Their future plans are not made public but it Is thought they will re- turn to Washington towards the latter part of the week. Whether they will return to Selma and make this city their home Is not known.

Through the Years.

AS we go forward and meet the
years, each is q messenger that tells
us pleasant story to the land to
which we have taken up our pilgrim.
age. and though we may not lay hands
on them and detain them, yet they
Undue us with happy thoughts and
pleasant memories, that clothe each
coming messenger in halo-like gar
ments Of emiles and beauty. The
journey of life is but short, but it il
long enough to teach us the idlenet
and littleness Of things earthly, and
that our earthly tabernacle is far toe
narrow to behold the invisible fire OF
Immortality that pulses through oul
being, or even to permit it to shine
forth in that brillianoy that it SC
much longed for.
Life is as beautiful as a panorama
that moves on the great and final
climax, when the curtains are drawn,
and the marvellous beauty Of the
universe opens with endless vistas OF
glory upon our enlarged sight, and
the dreams Of the past are paled from
view Of the light Of the never ending
present. The toy, the sword and the
toy make up the sum Of our existence,
for the old and the young are nearest
heaven. Prattling childhood and old
age walk hand in hand, and laugh
and gamble and make pretty speeches
to the bright birds and butterflies, for
the veil Of time is but mist to the
right and left Of them, and love and
innocence stand like cherubs by the
cradle and the grave.

June IA, 1891; was Is his last birth
day Though he be dead, yet he
lives in the hearts of his friends, and
we believe the arms Of his Saviour are
about him. He WAS boy very much
devoted to his loved ones and friends
He always greeted his friends with
cheerful words; he never was sad, but
cheerful, always looking on the bright
side of everything. He is gone but
not forgotten. We hope to meet him
where partings will be no more. He
leaves his father, mother, two brothers
and six sisters and host of friends
to mourn his death. He was laid to
rest in County Line cemetery on the
first Sunday in September, the funeral
services being conducted by the pastor
OF County Line church, Rev. L. s

OF sorrow. Weep not, dear parents,
Lee is at rest. Soon we shall meet
him in better land than this.

Is it perfectly fair that DR.. Wiley's
new poison squad should consist Of
young men? We entertain the most
serious apprehensions for those youth,
and we hope that some human So
ciety will interfere and save them
from their certain fate. We never
worried about the previous squads
who grew fat upon boracic acid,
formaldehyde and aniline dyes. Most
healthy men strive splendidly upon
these things, for they are a part of
the ordinary diet Of civilization, but
what young man can be expected to
withstand the ravages of q months
indulgence in ice cream sodas,
chocolate sundries, orange phosphates
and pop? A young may occasionally
in the heat of the summer may par
take of these soft drinks without in
jury to his system, but the strictest
temperance ia necessary, and we have
yet to read of centenarian who has
confessed to fondness for the soda
