IT is only those people who keep out Of debt
that cannot form an idea of the misery of being
dunned Some debtors, however, when called
upon in business way and asked to settle
''that little bill,' or adjust that "triding bal

To drown my soul in liquid flame;
For if drank, the toast should be


To blighted fortune, health and fame
Yet though long to quell the strife
That passion holds against my life,
Still boon companions you may be,
But, comrades, fill no glass for me
1 know breast that once was light


Whose patient sufferings need my care
I know heart that once was bright,


But dropping hopes have nestled. ~
Then, while the tear drops nightly steal
From wounded hearts that should heal,
Though boon companions ye may be,

When I was young I felt the tide


Of aspirations undefled,
But manhood's years have wronged the pride


My parents centered in their child.
Then by my mothers sacred tear,
By all that memory should revere,
Though boon companions We may be,

How A SOLDIER FEELS IN BATTLE-A Young
French officer thus writes of his first experience
in battle:


" Our officers kept us back, for we were not
numerous enough to charge upon the enemy
This was, moreover, most prudent, for this mur-
derous fire-so fatal to the white eoats-did us
but little harm. Our conical balls penetrated
their dense masses, while those of the Austrians
whlstled past our ears and respected our per-
sons. 1t was the first time had faced fire, nor
was | the only one. Well, am satisfied with
myself. True, lodged the first balls, but Hen
ry ~, they say, did the same at the beginning
OF every battle 1t is, in fact, physical effect,
independent Of the will But, this tribute paid,
if you could only feel how each shot electrifes
you. 1t is like whip on racers legs The
balls whistle past you, turn up the earth around
you, kill one, wound another, and you hardly
notice them. You grow intoxicated, the smell
OF gunpowder mounts to your brain The eye
becomes bloodshot and the look is fixed upon
the enemy. There is something of all the pas
sions in that terrible passion excited in soldier
by the sight of blood and the tumult of battle.
Everybody who has tried it testiiies to the pecu-
liar intoxication that is produced by being in
battle. There is an infatuating influence about
the smell of powder, the shrill whistle of q bull
let, and the sight of human blood, that instant
ly transforms men from towards to heroes-from
women sometimes to monsters. None can tell
of the nature or mystery of that influence, but
those who have been in the affray themselves"

People living in towns and cities have
little idea of the value of newspapers
They are surrounded with associates
They have access to libraries. Books are
at hand OH every side, and may be easily
borrowed when one e'cannot buy. But on
farms, in out of the way places, and in
ten thousand corners, hooks and neigh
borhoods, where men live and work, the
newspaper is the only window which they
look out into the world. Its visit brings
cheer to the house. The newspaper day
is the white day of the week, and the
farmer who has got his paper from the Of
flee turns homeward with light foot
Now every word is read. From begin
ming to end. If not read aloud, each
waits impatiently for his turn. Then the
more striking subjects are discussed
Every day till the next day comes round,
the topics are thought over, and talked
about with a pertinacious interest which
they have little conception of who live
where papers swarm.


And the result of this careful reading
is, not only well informed common peo-
pie, but one going out of the city into
the country will learn more about what
is going on in the city, right under his
nose, than he knew before. Country peo-
pie have time to consider things. Hap

to consider their meaning. Every week
