A new pupil bobs up THIS week to
be tutored in the oldtime and oft re-
iterated newspaper rule: that all con
tributions must bear the real name
as we'll as the assumed name of it's
writer or be excluded This unlearn-
ed chap signs as Two Brothers, -
and the community from which the
letter emanates is North Greene.
Hate to pitch it aside, but no use in
saying we shall adhere to the rule
unless we do it. The HERALD does
not require the real name for pub
fishing but for its own projection.
The person who does not so sign
might fill his communication with d
tissue of lies and we would be none
the wiser as we can't have eyes in
every part of the county at once, but
if we require him to attach his sigma
ture to the epistle, that binds him
with sole responsibility to the
editor. With his legal name missing
we can but look with suspicion upon
the submitted correspondence. Some
do this wilfully trusting to chance to
escape our vigilance aud break into
the columns of the paper anyhow;
others do it through ignorance. With
the first name we hahe but little
patience and but poor respect; for
the latter we have that pity and
sympathy that calls forth FROM time
to time such explanatory paragraphs
ao this for their information.

The man who drifts into the habit
of soiling his tongue with profane or
vulgar quotations in his yarn telling
is on the rapid road to straight-out
cussing, the last danger post that he
passes will be the one where he finds
himself lyingly supplying such quo
tatiOns to his stories. His tongue
has fallen into bad hands and needs
cleansing and strong heart resolution
: behind it to check its unruly course.
The habit of profanity once unloosen-
ed will set up an awful defiance,
clinging to the mouth with tortur
ing tenacity. Better ring the back
ing bells brother before you find the
once strong rails of resistance sink
ing under you and you go down in
the mire of common swearers and
polluters of Gods free and pure air
with their awful oaths.

Don't get it into your thinker that
the HERALD endorses every kind of
news that it chronicles. Our bust
ness is to present the happenings,
and of course we can not regulate
what character they be anymore than
another finite creature can undertake
to regulate the sun. We strive to
print things just as they occur. keep
ing in mind to use as correct and
clean language as possible and taboo
ing only such scandalous affairs as
belong to the unmentionable class.
Our choice or preference for any
special class of news does not mould
it to order, if we stick to the truth,
and that's our principles.

STORM SONG.

"HHE clouds are scudding across the
moon;
A misty light is on the sea;
The wind in the shrouds has win
try tune,
And the foam is flying free.
Brothers. night of terror and gloom
Speaks in the cloud and gathering roar.
Thank God. he has given us broad sea
room
A thousand miles from shore!
Down with the matches on those who
sleep.
The wild and whistling deck have we
Good watch. my brothers. tonight We'll
keep
While the tempest is on the sea!
Though the rigging shrek in his terrible
grip,
And the naked spars be snapped away,
Lashed to the helm. We'll drive our ship
Straight through the whelming spray!
Hank, how the surges o'erleap the deck!
Hark, how the pitiless tempest raves!
All, daylight will look upon many wreck
Drifting over the desert waves!
Yet courage. brothers; trust the wave,
With God above us our star and chart;
So, whether to harbor or ocean grave.
Be it still with a CHEEKY hearth

That feature entitle Religious and

issue owing to the editors time be-
ing so taken up that he did not
spend the usual hours this week
searching for the little jewels with
which this part of the paper is won
tedly adorned. Perhaps there are a
number of our readers who gladly
take cognizance of this omission,
thinking that the space is better de-
voted to other matter, as it may
strike them that when employed
with this Department which we have
named, is taken up with matter of
rather too moralizing a nature to
suit the taste of so varied host as
cons these pages from week to week.

II is remarkable to those whose

predatory state and each individ-

The pain of the lingering clangor
Shaking their bloom out so?

Twined with the new worlds years.

Lifting up, like a banner,
Signals of loss and woe! e

Moveth the solemn show.

A II sweet sounds together;
Sweeter far than all things heard,
Hand of harper. tone of bird,
Sounds of woods at shutdown stirred,
yelling waters winsome word,
Wind in warm, wan weather
One thing yet there is that none,
Hearing ere its chime be done,
Knows not we'll the sweetest one
Heard of man beneath the sun.
Hope in heaven hereafter;
Soft and strong and loud and light,
Very sound of very light
Heard from mornings rosiest height,
When the soul of all delight
Fills Il childs clear laughter.
Golden bells of welcome rolled
Never before such notes nor told
Hours so blithe in tones so bold
AS the radiant month of gold
Here that rings forth heaven.
If the golden crested wren
Were a nightingale, why, then,
Something seen and heard Of men
Might be half as sweet as when
Laughs a child of seven.

THE MATTE HEARSEE
HOSPITAL.

While in Meridian last week this
editor took advantage of an oppor-
tunity to visit the Matte Hearsee
Hospital, an eleemosynary institu-
tiou, which having asked for and
several times received aid from the
State exchecquer we naturally felt an
interest in looking into at close
range. After a ride of about fifteen
minutes on the car we alighted in a
suburban part of the city and found
that about a three minute walk
brought us into sight of this HoSpi
tai. 1t sets perch edupon a beautiful
elevation. The building is one
story frame with Railways running
through it to all the four points of the
compass. In addition to the maln
building there are two wings, one oil
when is the culinary department, the
other the negro ward. A thoughtful
and courteous but rather too talka-
tive nurse showed us through the
whole building. We were pointed
to the private rooms, peeped into the
wards where about five beds were
provided looked into the doctor s
room; the operating-room; the medi.
cine-room and what else we forget.
Evidently our trip was made at a
slack time, for there were but few
patients within the walls, most OF
the rooms and beds being vacant.
To our mind this building should be
displaced by one of stone or brick
commensurate with the dignity OF
the state or this side of it at eny
rate, and of the civic strength of
Lauderdale county and the city of
Meridian. This would cut down con
siderably the difficulty of sound
transmission with whice the patients
are now bothered 10y the wooden
walls, which operate as sounding
boards conveying the groans of suf-
ferers into wards weere such noises
come as fresh stabs of pain to other
wise peacefully resting patients.
Being in its infancy, however,
these things have to be gotten to
gradually. Afterwhile perhaps some
legacies will be put at the institu-
tions disposal that will aid in carrying
forth more adequate building plans.
To the rear of Thea building is an ex-
cellent slope on which patients well
enough can take air and sun baths.
The long verandahs on every side OF
the building afford splend d views for
the patients to sit and gaze the hours
away. Off from the rear can be seen
tall and stately pines with their tops
proudly waving on an altitude about
even with the floor, account of the
deep depression down in that direc-
ton. Raising it's mosque-like dome
out from and in the midst of these
greentop fringes, is the Widows and
Orphans Home of the Masonic Order
of Mississippi. From the loftiness
of this pinnacle we infer splendid
and capacious pile stands underneath
to accommodate the needy and Deepen
dent women and little ones of thai
fraternity. 1t moves ones heart
with tenderness to visit and behold
the actual operative charitable estab
lishments which people enthuzeC
with Christian teachings have build
ed May their number be more
and more multiplied and the indigen
the afflicted and the helpless be more
assidiously provided for by the
stronger and more fortunate part o.
society.

THE SPENDTHRlFT.


Ar NE left so little, did you say?
He had so brief time to stay
Twas hardly worth his while to
u II gather
Dross of our little earthly day.
The things that other people prize
He gave to others, being wise;
Being so heavenly foolish, rather,
That kept his gains for paradise.
Hardly keepsake did he leave.
And all his gold was fugitive.
He kept those things that will not perish.
For him the widow and orphan grieve.
He gave with light laugh, indeed,
AS he and gold were i'll agreed
Held 1t the poorest thing to cherish,
Save that it filed another's need.
He had his pilgrims scrip of hope
And living waters in his cup,
The staff of faith that still suffices
The stumbling soul to lift it I'D.
Being so soon traveller.
OF earthly things he had no care.
But on the road that's paradise's
He went the lighter. being bare.
