To a Sainted Mother.

"'Twas just the other day that she
slipped away
From home where love held sway
Leaving behind her only shadows
black as night.
While she winged her way to land
of light.
But to us who know not how TO meet
or bear the blow,
1t seems like ages. We miss her SO. p"
The name of Mrs. Helen w. Mat
thews suggests to the mind the
thought of mother-she was such
a perfect mother in every sense of
that sacred word.
Her life, filled with so much sweet
ness and goodness, was more elO-
quent than any words of tongue or
pen.
Mrs. Matthews has passed away.
The hand that once rocked the
cradle is stilled by the Grim Reaper.
But the memory of long life of
self-sacrifice, of loving kindness,
and maternal affection. still fingers
among those who knew her so well.
The home of Mrs. Matthews was
noted for miles around for its old
time southern hospitality, and no
music was half so sweet to her as
the merry voices of those who gath
cred about her on every occasion to
while away the happy hours. And
thus herbusy life was spentin adding
to the sum of human happiness.
Through all her long and useful
life her love of humanity never
waned. and her devotion to family
and friends never cooled. She was
ever ready to give hope to the hope
less, and happiness to the distressed
about her.
She was a faithful wife. devoted
and true. And when death carried
away the companion of many years,
and time began to erase the famil-
lar scenes about the old home, she
felt that her life's work was over
and expressed a willingness to join
him in that beautiful home above.
In her last moments when loved
ones gathered about her to say good
bye, after delivering a parting mes
sage to each one of them. she re-
quested that the faithful old servant
who still remained be provided for.
Then. just as her eyes were about
to close in the heavy slumber of
death. her son. who wore the kahki
of United States soldier reached
his mothers side. And then, as If
breathing a blessing upon him, she
passed to her reward.
She lived and loved and smiled
through all the storms of life for her
family and for her friends. She
planted flowers of happiness and
JOY in the hearts of those about her,
and labored on until the frost of
years whitened her hair.
Mrs. Matthews was a devout
member OF the Methodist church

Just when the year has c me TO noon
When svsry here the roses blow.
TheJ come the girls and brides OF Juns.
With eyes Agleam and hearts sglow,
The girls who from the safe abode
OF youth look forth with eager eyes
Adorn lifes broad untrodden road
To where the far horizon lies.
Who all untouched by care or strife
Fare forth upon that untried way
Out from the school room into life
The girls of June We greet today
Before the affairs see them stand
when candles glow and lilies CLEAN
Robed all in white. a radiant band
With hearts aname and eyes adresm.
Those other girls who touched by love
Are mind and heart and soul atune
To music Of the sphere above.
God bless the fair young brides OF June"

Greek Language Purified.

William Stearns Davis, in a review
OF European history in the Century
magazine. relates that in 1871 the old
Greek language had long become so
corrupted with Italian, Slavic and AL
banian words that it appeared mere
jargon, compared with the tongue Of
Plato. The very race. it was alleged,
had ~tntermarried so freely with all
the other Levantine folk, and espe-
cially with the Slavs and Albanians.
as to make any claim to classical an
cestry absurd. But at the same time
the French Revolution came to stir the
souls and imaginations of all Europe
there was an awakening OF the old
national Greek spirit. The language
was purified and gradually brought
back closer to ancient models,

To be possessed Of a head Of heavy,

It is easy and inexpensive to have

directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
