For the Blind.

Miss Lily Il. Hendrix of this
city sent the MESSAGE the follow
ing for publication from st. Louis
last week:
The old school for the blind
where l was educated was situated
on Morgan ST., has been torn down
and they have built magnificent
one on Magnolia Aye. This one
has all of the modern improve
ments and conveniences Of the
day. The pupils have a great
many more advantages than we
had.
With the kind permission Of
the superintendent l am now TAX
ing lessons IN the work room,
learning all Of the new work
taught there. The patience and
ability of the teacher cannot be
surpassed. In my travels / have
often met children who, on ac-
count OF weak eyes, cannot attend
the seeing schools, who were mis-
erable because they could not keep
up with their playmates in their
studies. yet their parents for some
foolish reason will not send them
to the school for the blind. Shame
on such parents, to deprive them
Of the great blessing the state has
so literally provided for them.
do not ask you to take my
word, only visit the school and
see for yourselves aud all Of your
reluctance will be swept away.
Come and meet the Supt., Mr..
Green, and the matron. Mrs. Stand
ish, whose kindness and hospital
ity can only be rewarded by Him
who seeth and knoweth all things.

ClenQeniT1.
wish to write n tribute Of love
and respect to one who has been
my friend for forty.One years. No
possession in life is Of so much val
ne as ones friends. Nothing else
brings us such happine such per-
petual delight IS friendship. The
joys of all other treasures are
fieetinR, this alone partakes of the
Eternal. God sends it as a bless
ing to teach rs His perfect love,
and TO give us a glimpse of
Heaven.
When we are called upon to give
mp a friend. one who has proved
such in sickness aud health. it is
then we recall what they have been
to us.
In looking back over the forty
one years of our friendship, ! can
truly say, / never knew one with
as happy a disposition, always the
same in adversely as we'll as in
prosperity. For her every cloud
had a silver lining. She has ever
been like a sister to me.
In the early days of our friend.
ship, when my family was small,
and duties kept me closely at home.
her pleasant visits made many
lonely hour pass quickly for me,
and the children felt that they had
in her not only a dear friend but
almost a second mother.
When a little one came to bless
our home, she was there to minis
ter to its first wants. When death
robbed us Of a loved one it was
her kind words of sympathy that
helped us bear the heartache.
Upon my last visit to her. only
a short time before her death,
found her changed so much aud
with the stamp OF death upon her
face. Still she greeted me with
the same glad smile, aud not once
during my stay did hear word
OF complaint, altho she was in con-
slant suffering. 1 said to her,
How much comfort it is to you
to have your dear children to care
for you" She said, They are so
kind, but | have others waiting
for me on the other Shore"
/ thought what a happy life hers
had been, happy in life with her
loving companion and children,
happy also in the hours OF death.
Who would not wish for such a
lifei
1t may truly be said of her she
did what she could. Nothing but
pleasant memories linger in the
hearts of her many friends.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful In the gave so low;
Thou no more wilt Join our number:
| Thou no more our tears shall know
Dearest sister, thou hast left us;
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
hut tits God that hath bcreft US.
He can all our sOrTows heal.
Yet again we hope 10 meet thee,
When the cares OF life have fed;
Then In heaven with Joy 10 greet thee,
Where no farewell tear Is shed.
A FRIEND
