For 1.-THE UNION"
A SOL Loo UY.
BY REV. j. A. JONES.

Let nothing swerve thee from thy task,
Be the temptation e'er so pure;
Only the man who stands the test
VIII see his work in time endure.
Upon the roadside, many q mile
Is strewn with efforts like your own;
But efforts failed and lost awhile,
VIII serve to prop the efforts grown.
As leaves and fruit which ne'er mature,
Drop to enrich some fruit to be;
So, much that lost we thought was sure,
Died to sustain the stronger tree.
That tho you stumble, yea, and fall
You mortify blatent boast
You trusted what you thought tree,
And found 1t but withered post.
Beneath each failure rests q seed,
Covered and saved from frost secure,
Until in spring, perhaps reed,
Or oak VIII grow about thy door.
You may not see it grow or bloom;
You may not see it even sprout;
But those who occupy thy room
VIII bless the gods ) ou lived about.
Be true then, noblest work of God,
Despise not failure nor distress;
For pain encircled marked the road,
That couch announced thy first egress.
A world in travail brought thee forth,szs
Not to entwine about the grass;
Thy noble form, its nobler worth,
Was wrought in secret to express.
The image of titantic force;
A person who when seeking form
Selected earth, tho e'er so coarse,
And from its soil man was born.
N. Y, Aug. 30th. 1908.

THE CAUTIOUS REPORTER.

"Young man." said the editor to
the new reporter, "you lack caution.
You must learn never to state thing
as a fact until it has been proved a
fact. You are apt to get us into libel
suits. Do not say the cashier stole
the funds say the cashier who is
alleged to have stolen the funds.
That's all. Oh, get something about
that First Ward social tonight"
The next day, half way down the
social column, the editor saw the fol-
lowing cautious paragraph:
ct is rumored that card party
was given last evening to number
of reputed ladies of the First Ward
Mrs. Smith, gossip says, was the hos
tess, and the festivities are reported
to have continued until 1880 in the
evening. The alleged hostess is be-
lieved to be the wife of John Smith,
the SO. called high priced grocer "

POLK MILLER's STORY.

Mr.. Polk Miller, of Richmond,
blew into the editorial Office of the
AImana6k like a fresh breeze from
the South few days ago, and was
promptly asked, of course. for the Ia
test darky story in Virginia. He said
it was about substituting wild tur'
key for a tame turkey. One OF his
friends bought turkey from old I'm
Gle Ephraim, and asked him, in max
ing the purchase, if it was tame
turkey. ''Oh, yais, sir, it's a tame
turkey oil right" NOW, Ephraim,
are you sure it's tame turkeyF
ooh, yais, sir; a tame turkey oil
right" He consequently bought the
turkey, and day or two later when
eating it he came across several shot.
Later on when he met old Ephriam
on the street he said "Well Ephriam
YOU told me that was a tame turkey,
but 1 found some shot in it, when
was eating it." ooh, dat was a
tame turkey oil right" was Uucle
Ephriam's reiterated rejoinder, "bui
de fac is, boss, I'se gwine to tell YET
in confidence dat ere shot was in
tended for me" ."-AdvertiSer'S S Alma
