He was hungry for toy.
But twas always too much bother,
Too much dirt end too much noise.
For the house ofto0 much trouble
Wasn't meant for little boys.
And sometimes the little fellow
Left book upon the floor
Or forgot and laughed too loudly,
Or he failed to close the door.
In house of too much trouble
Things must be precise and trim
In house of to much trouble
There was little room for him.
He must never scatter playthings,
He must never romp and play;
Every room must be in order,
And kept quiet all the day.
He had never had companions,
He had never owneda pet.
In the house of too much trouble
1t is trim and quiet yet.
Every room is set in order
Every book is in its place,
And the lonely little fellow
Wears a smile upon his face.
In the house Of too much trouble
He is silent and at rest---
In the he"se of t 10 much trouble
With a lily on his breast.

A NEW HOPE FOR DIXIE.

A work is going o. in the
southern states which, within a
few years, will surely bring a
great reward. 1t is a folm of

ton at each university Of Tie
south an earnest young man,
with u gift Of expression. In
his outward bearing he was to
be a professor, but in his make
up he was to have all he engag-

drummer, only the goods he was
to offer were to be the imperish-
able robes of Knowledge, His
theme was tile ueed Of and op-
portunitv for high schools and
industrial schools werein half
grown young men and women

with the approval of the parent
society and of the authorities of
the several state universities,
have gone into Every rural dis
trict, talking in churches, in
school houses, at farmers meet
-ings at the stores and post Offices
on Saturday afternoons, and the
theme everywhere has been the
need of high schools and indus
trial schools for young pee ople.
The result thus far has been that
in Alabama, Florida, Geola ia,

Virginia SIS buildings have been
erected in the last six years at a
cost of Sc, ,420, ,780. And the
money forthe buildings has botn
