Modesty seldom resides in a
breast that is not enriched with
noble virtues.?Goldsmith.
Mirth is like a flash of light

gloom of clouds, and glitters for
a moment; cheerfulness keeps up
a kind of daylight in the mind,
and fills it with a steady and perpetual
serenity.?Addison.
Dispatch is the soul of business;

more to dispatch than method.
Lay down a method for everything,
and stick to it inviolably,
as far as unexpected incidents
may allow.?Lord Chesterlield.
Memory, like a purse, if it be
ever full that it cannot shut, all
will drop out of it; take heed of
a gluttonous curiosity to feed on
many things, lest the greediness
of the appetite of thy memory
spoil the digestion thereof.?
Thomas Fuller.
Marriage enlarges the scene of
our happiness and miseries. A

Christ has come to live in the
hearts of men, and by that pres

Yesterday can not be recalled;

today is only thine, which if thou
procrastinatest, thou loosest,
which lost is lost forever. ? I eremy

When thou hast thanked thy

What time will then remain for

?Trench.
You can always borrow trouble
without collateral but it is a cinch
that you will haye to pay compound
interest at usurious rates.
If you desire to save a man.
3 ou must look for the best in him
not the worst. And you must
let him know it. To tell a per
son he is a child of the devil, or
act as though you so considered
him, is not the way to induce
him to beoorae a child ot God.

WITH THE POETS
Did you ever watch the sunbeams
At play among the flowers?
Or ever see the little stars
A-shining after showers?
I think the little children
Were made for shining too,
To make this old world brighter,
Don't you?
Have you ever seen the lambkins
Out in green meadows frisking?
Or spied a gay red squirrel
Along the branches whisking?
I think the little children
Were made for playing, too,
Because they're happy-hearted,
Don't vou?
I _.. . .
LJid you ever see the farmer
His sheaves of ripe wheat binding?
Or ever catoh the miller
Just when the corn was grinding?
I think the little children
Were made for working, too,
To be the big folks' helpers,
Don't you?
Did you ever find your pussy
Upon the hearth rug sleeping?
Did you ever watch the chickens
When darkness comes a-creeping?
I think the little children
Were made for sleeping, too, \
When each long day is over,
Don't you?
?The Mayflower.
A Temperance Hymn
O brothers, lift your voices,
Triumphant sontrs to raise;
Till heaven on high rejoices,
And earth is filled with pt'aise;
Ten thousand hearts are bounding
With holy hopes and free;
The Gospel trump is sounding.
The trump of Jubilee.
O Christian brothers, glorious.
Shall be the conflict's close;
The cross hath been victorious,
And shall be o'er its foes:
Faith is our battle-token:
Our Leader all controls;
Our trophies, fetters broken;
Our uaptl-"?? ransomed.soul*. .
?The Cliristain Observer.
Courage
If on a narrow precipe thou findest
thy way.
Look up?a downward glance
will biing dismay
And certain death.
Courage!
Or if 111v way o'er tiresome plain
doth lead,
Look out, not in. Beholding
other's need,
Forget thyself.
Courage!
But whether precipice or plain
tnv patn.
Look forward with strong heart.
He victory hath
Who ne'er turns back.
Courage! Courage!

The death of scarcely any Otji
er American could bring to tie
people of the South a keener
sense of personal loss and distress,
than that of Mr. Thomas Nelscn
Page and, though a Virginian
and a Southerner of tiie warmeit
feeling and loyalty, he will be a most
equally mourned in other
parts of the country. With a
path s and sweetness hard!/
equalled lus stones of the South
brought home to the country tile
trials and the sufferings of the
Southern people during and after
the Confederate war, but th/y
were told with a gentleness that
could give no offence?his ui? j

manly goodness tli.it no word c,f
bitterness escaped his pen. it

other Southern writer of fictioji
who has taken the period of thb
'60s and ihe years following:, ifc
people and events, for his thems
has succeeded quite so well i?
i awakening: an understanding
sympathy for them in other
parts of the country. The simplicity
and beauty of "Mare*
Chan" and the tales that followed
it were irresistible in their ap
J As ambassador to Italy during
the VVorid war M?. Page acquitted
himself with distinguished
credit and served the lVpublic
with a rare sagacity. His naturi
alness, his frankness, his humotl
were the qualities that not onlit
commanded the confidence oy
the Italian people but endeared1
him to them, so that,
their bent of
swiftly toward *>ur
in the months foliowiog wjHiflarmist
ice, their regard fot Mr,
Page was not diminished.
Twice in the last dozen years
Mr Page visited Columbia, his
second visit having been made
in the spring of 1021 when he
delivered two or three addresses.
Many of our people, who came
into brief association with him,
will remember him as the kind
of man to write "Red Rock" and
"Two Little Confederates" and
they have an affection for him
that no other distinguished visitor
of a few days could have in
spired. With the people of Rich
mond and of Virginia and of the
country they sorrow at the death
of the most lovable and brilliant
gentlemen who served so faithfully
and to so great a purpose.
Padrick Found Guilty
Below is press dispatch telling
the world that another criminal
lias been dealt with. When
God's word declares a man's sin

it says.
The fact that the former preach

accounts for a life rather
than a death sentence. He "also

rally carries a sentence of life
imprisonment.
The jury's verdict was reached
after consideration of the case

the Revolutionary patriots of g

declaration is older than that of o

The arrest of a minister, in *

MORAL ISSUES
Daily Food
The Bible should be the Chri<;an's
daily bread. A child, to
row in sue and strength, must
ave good food and plenty of it.
o the Christian must feed plenfully
upon God's Word. Morever
he must teed with appetite,

Thank and Think
It was no accident that extractid
the words "think" and "thank"
rom the same root. So count- ^
ess are our blessings that one

and his heaTt will at once

mngling hand that built the

Power In Weakness
It is olten the strong man that

Pie would have been less self:onfident,

equal to any emergency. It

and splendid fortune who
joes down in time of temptation.

TheiTwo Extremes of Life
