George Herbert, rector at Bemerton,
England, n writer OF nan religious
poems, was born in Wales in 1893 and died
In 1852. He was noted for the fidelity. with
and the qutin style Of his poetic writ
ings.l
Who Is the honest man?
He that doth still and strongly good pur-
sue,
To God, his neighbor, and himself most
Who neither force nor fawning can
Unpin or wrench from giving all their due.
Whose honesty is not
So loose or easy, that a ruffling wind
Can blow away, or glittering look 1t blind:
Who rides his sure and even trot,
While the world now rides by, now lags
behind.
Nor seeks, nor shuns them, but doth
calmly stay,
Till he the thing and the example weigh;
All being brought into a sum-,
What place or person calls for, he doth
pay.
Whom none can work or WOO,
To use In anything q trick, or sleight:
For above all things he abhors deceit:
His words and works, and fashion, too,
All of a piece, and all are clear and
straight.
Who never melts or thaws
At close temptations; when the day Ii
done,
His goodness sets not, but in dark car
The sun to others writeth laws,
And Is their virtue; virtue Is his sun.
George Herbert.

Brief Life,

He came with the wind of dawn, when
rose-red clouds were flying;
In the glory of his coming the old moon
drifted din
He went when the evening star out
watched days quiet dying.
Its path upon the sea made a white,
straight road for him.
Did he dream a wistful dream in some
radiant place supernal?
Did he hear the human CALL, follow and
lose his way?
Has the touch of earth on the chilS made
strange to him things eternal?
Is he heir to sorrow and love, being NOR
tai for one swift day?

The horse was apparently well In
the evening and ate his hay.
What was the cause of his death
so Unexpectedly, will never be

was on Wednesday, when he.
with three other horses, driven
by Lloyd and David Fleming, took
a load of coal for Fleming Broth
ers' blacksmith shop in McCon-
nellsburg, and since that had
been running IN pasture and
standing in the stable.
Dewey was a good quiet sensl-

so foolish as to scare at automo-
blles and any lady could drive
him. He was was once owned
by John Sheets IN McConnells-

conveyed across the mountain by
him.
