Dining Table for Altar.

Probably in only one church in Eng
land is dining table to be found do
ing duty as an altar. The church
which has this distinction is the parish
church at Wolferton, Norfolk, the
beautiful building often honored by
the king when at his Sandringham
home. The table, which once groaned
under the harcn's viands, now sup
ports the vessels of communion and
the beautiful piece of furniture, at
one time the pride of tie hall, is now
the valued possession Of the church.

Children.

Woe to him that smiles not
over a cradle or weeps over
tomb. He who has never tried
the companionship of little
child, has carelessly passed one of
the greatest plea ureS of life, as
one passes a rare flower without
plucking it or knowing its value.
and to you whose homes are bless
ed with the little prattlers, have
patience and enjoy them while
you may. They will not trouble
you long. Children grow up
nothing on earth grows 80 fast as
children. 1t was but yesterday,
and that lad was playing with
tops, buoyant boy. He is man
and gone now. There is no more
childhood for him nor for US.
Life has claimed him. When be-
ginning is. made. it is like ravel-
ing stocking. stitch by stitch gives
way until all are gone. The house
has not child in it-there is no
more noise in the hall--boys brush
in pellmell; it is very orderly now.
There are no more skates or sleds,
bats. balls or strings left scat
tered around, things are neat now.
There is no delay now for sleepy
folks; there is no longer any task
before you lie down, or looking
after anybody and tucking in the
bedclothes.
Oh. for some children's noisel
We wish our. neighbor would lend
us.an urchin or two to make
little noise in these premises. A
home without children is like gar
den and no flowers. We want to
be tired, to be vexed, to be run
over, to hear children at work with
all its varieties.

1t is sure sign of prosperity
when the farmer is able to hold his
cotton for better prices, and sell it
at his own good pleasure. But that
farmer who owes just and honest
debts whether to merchant doc
tor, newspaper publisher, or any
body-and who expects to liquidate
them with the proceeds of his cot
ton, has no moral or legal right to
make his creditors wait and suffer
while he is hoping for a rise in the
market. Let him hold his cotton
if he wants to, by all means. But
he should borrow money on it and
pay his debts.

GETTING EVEN.
BY DUNCAN NJ. SMITH

When, like the echo of plague,
A bore drifts into view
And opens up his tror list
To tell the same to u
Don't hit him with railroad spike
Or cut him with a knife:
Just break in on him and relate
The story of your life.
Cut in upon his painful talk
Before he gets a start.
No matter II he throws a NJ
Or takes 1t quite to heart,
Keep talking though he fidgets round
And never do get through.
Just make him take the medicine
That he had fixed for you.
Start with the moment of your birth
And lead him down along
The boyhood places that were filled
With melody and song.
Relate the plain and simple tale
OF your heroic deeds.
1t may be cruelty. but it's
Exactly what he needs
One treatment laid on good and strong
Will make him hunt the door.
And that will be the last of him;
He won't come round for more.
And, though he may be green with
rage.
He dare not show the same,
But he'll remember you as one
Who beat him at the game.

A few sorry niggers and criminal
whites sell liquor in and around

fine of five hundred dollars and

One or two courses of this treat
ment guaranteed to cure the most

a magistrate or mayor anywhere in
the county with backbone enough
to do his duty to society and the
