How Philosopher Described a Child.

TOW philosopher Described Child.
child is natures fresh picture,
newly drawn in oil, which time and
much handling dims and defaces. His
soul Is yet white paper, unscribbled
with observations Of the world. where
with, at length, it becomes a blurred
notebook. He is purely happy because
he knows 70 evil, nor hath made
means by s. to be acquainted with
misery. He arrives not at the mis-.
chief of bei"g wise, nor endures evils
to come by :rreseeing them. He kisses
and loves ali, and, when The smart of
the rod is past, smiles or his beater.
Could he put off his body with his
little coat, he had got eternity without
a burden, and exchanged but one
heaven for another.---John Earle
(1G01.1G65).

Treasury for the period from LIST April 1907
to 31st December 1907 was presented by
Government according to 5 8 Of the BY
Laws of the Municipal Committee. In its
Report to Government tie Committee called
attention to the disproportionately large
amount of Tax Arrears, viz FIR. 109,685.95,

that steps be taken to enforce the Arrears.
and at the same time to see to it that in
future taxes be paid in due time.
AS a Solution Of the Question the above
Rules are now proposed it m st be con-
ceded that they are very moderate, at the
same time realizing a settlement of all arrears
in the course of 3 years.

From the old log meeting house
arose a chant, sweet echo Of deter
mined past, the music history Of
Anglo-Saxon fortitade. The preach
er had not yet arrived. Beneath the
trees sat the wise men of the commu-
nifty; and when old Linn Jucklin got
out of his wagon, conducted his wife
to the door and came walking back
with his hands behind him, young
fellow well trained in manners arose
to give the chicken-f1ghting oracle a
seat. He sat down, with his back
against tree. put his hat on the
ground beside him uttered the neces-
sary commonplaces incident upon
meeting his friends, saw needed rain
coming within two days, and then
after a short silence remarked: Il
see that a jedge over at Raleigh In
grAntin' a divorce says there don't ap-
pear to be any doubt of the fact that
marriage.Iis a failure. From time to
time within the past few years 1 have
hearn somethin' about this here fail
ure on the part of marriage, but never
put my mind down on it till one OF
our own jedges rendered his decision
In the matter"
Then Squire Brizintine spoke up.
And does it seem to you, Limuel,
that he has got anywhere close down
to the truth?"
Out of his hat the old man took his
red bandanna handkerchief, wiped his
brow, and, spreading the handker-
chief across his knees, replied that 1t
was a matter that needed some little
investigation Take the case of
little Sammy Peel" said he. Mar
ried the widder Buntin, that weighs
300 Don't appear to have been a
failure in his case" The boys laughed
and Squire Brizintine blew his nose
with a loud snort, for it was known
that not long after the death of his
wife he had paid court to the widow

ued, that is a aegitatin OF society, and

flung open the front door of time.
And it is subject that so many folks
are related to one way or another
that it sorter makes a feller feel sad
TO think about the opinion OF the
jedge over at Raleigh. But the only
way to ma out WnSIner or not q CnlnS

and seek 10 analyze d kiss
stalWart youth of psychic mind,
Likewise a most inquiring miss.
She Said
a kiss is love expressed, l think;
seal that binds two hearts in OF.
And vows protection through the years
That follow, until life is done.
IF it is not, what think you, pray?
truly am not versed in this
Is osculation more or less
Than I have said? What is a kiss?"
He Said:
"A kiss is heaven here on earth,
A throb of ecstasy and bliss,
A flash of Paradise regained
Utopia at last-a kiss!
" 'Tis nectar of the roses bloom,
The brew of Hebe's dainty hand,
The fragrance of the mignonette
Distilled through leagues of meadow
land
" 'IiS subtle necromancy's charm
That steals within the human frame
And thrills through every cell and nerve
With t1ushes of impassioned flame!
'' 'Tis all the world to one who loves
This sanction of his fond caress.
'Tis home and peace and hope and faith,
The crowning sheaf of happiness!'
And is it all OF this?' she asked
With wonder in her pretty face.
Alas, fear extravaganza
Is leading you a merry racei"
But when he took her in his arms
Explaining in the good old way,
She blushed rosy red and said
Il understand it perfectly!
But tell me, dear, why linguists fail
To tell the rapture of kiss?
Are there no words within their ken
To speak a language such as this?''

A Preachment.

Laugh today; you may run a nail in
your foot tomorrow.
Be good; it is the only safe invest
ment that pays ten per cent. on the
dollar.
Be kind; it makes your life like
Fune day, attracts friends and con-
Ounds enemies.
Be just; you never can tell how
soon the fellow to whom you were un-
lst will have the screws on you.
Be liberal; you may be hungry your
self some day.
Be joyous; there is but one life to
live and TO miss having had any graf
ification out OF it is calamity, indeed.
Be true; then you may expect 9TH
ers to be true to you.
Be sincere; others noting your sim
cerity, will give you their condolences
and be likewise sincere with you.
Be thoughtful; the iron enters the
soul in after life when we have been
neglectful of those who have loved us.
Be careful; otherwise trouble may
follow in your wake, the con man will
sell you gold bricks and the promoter
will brand you as an easy mark.
If you smoke, smoke good cigars
and fewer Of them
If you drink, go the linton tenn.
perance drinks and stop there. No
man ever built success on the basis
of moderate or immoderate drinking
Of Intoxicating liquors. To trifie with
them is more dangerous than trying
to count the teeth of buzz-saw in ac-
ton.
Don't overeat Success, money or
fame never brought a worn out man
a new stomach.
If you can afford good clothes, wear
Them otherwise be happy in what
you can afford. No matter your in
come. select the quiet garb of a gen
~tleman No man was ever heard very
far by the loudness of his costume.
Live right and give others a chance
to do the same. Don't underpay your
employees or overcharge those who
deal with you.
These are simple rules, yet few fol-
low them all. He who does will be
happy and life, to him, will be worth
living.

dissensions awakened the echoes of
many dark night.
Old Lin sat smoothing his hand
kerchief across his knees. We'll"
said he, with woman the question of
marriage comes up before she has
Judgment enough to make a good de
cision. We know that at 20 a be-
is nothin' but a boy, but we expect
a girl at that age to be ripe enough
to take charge of a household. Al
20 1 had jest about sense enough tC
take rabbit out of trap. Didn't
have enough TO keep out of a tran
myself. We talk about many virtues
but, after all, looks, eyes, smiles and
hair are the main points to be consid
cred In the question of marriage, and
as these things appeal more to woman
than to man, she is in the way to-
make more mistakes. Common sense
ought to tell women that good-lookin'
men don't make the best husbands;
but that's where the trouble lies-the
lack of common sense. A curl hangin
low over a forehead and a sort of tune
to laugh counts more with the aver
age girl than the multiplication table

in the curl, but it won't build as many
fires in the kitchen stove. Any feuer
smiles when he goes a courtin', but
the feller that is most useful to q
community and at home is the one
that smiles some when he's at WORK
The happiest time of girls life
is when she is engaged, for then she
has the dazzlin' promise of somethin'
that amt likely 10 be fulfilled. The
hero that she is gOin' to marry gig
giles and filters like June water
a babblin' down over mOss-kivered
rocks, but if weighed and put up for
sale in the market OF common sense,
he wouldn't fetch as much as a side
of bacon. The trouble is she takes
him ON looks, and he takes her the
same way, and after they have been
married awhile they find that their
minds are total strangers.
But how would you remedy it?"
some one inquired.
81 can't remedy it-and 1 wouldn't.
It would be an interference with
natur. In the days of old 1t was
thought, and it Is still alive in the
minds of smart men, that good big
part Of the human family was born
| to be damned, and l reckon 1t was in
tended that a certain number of mar
riages were intended to be failures.
| And marriage is more Of a failure
now than ever before, because there
are more people to get married. The
more folks the more misery. If a
man and q woman do the best they
can and their marriage turns out bad
it can't be helped. Divorce is a
blight on society, it is true, but to
live with somebody that amt suited
to you is a blight on the mind and
| the heart We may have good many
lives to live; Of that we can't tell,
but we do know Of one, and when that
one is ruined, why we are in what
