Everybody Should Review the Day's
Work at Close.
EACH DAY SHORTENS Lift.

Kind Words, Charity and Pleasant
Smiles Should Be Bestowed if You
Want Happiness.
A pood merchant will count bis
moncv and liaiatmo ?aov. .? ?> -
( lose of every clay. It is a Rood pi 11
for everybody to review the day's work
end count up the good of it and the
bad of it. Give the Lord credit for all
the blessings enjoyed, net forg-' tin '
health and food and raiment, sun ;hin
utul shower, good neighbors anil y i
schools and liberty of conscien i
These are capital stock and do .not \ . .
much with the passing days. l$u: in
eve ry one's daily life and in our iL'i'.y
husim ,-s there is a:i ever rhanging ... ititude
of little things?little pleasures
and little pains and the^c should 1 |
footed up and balanced. What g o 1
have I done, what pleasure have 1 *e- '
eeived and given to others today should
be a question every night. For as the
poet salth:
"Count the day lost If the descending
sun
SCCS from thv hnn.l no itfnrthv n.-tion
done."
"Lost" is a sad word?one day Inst
shortens lifn ihat much, but how many
people los. almost every day. No charity.
no kind words or pleasant smiles?
no sympathy for the poor, but bo along
through life for themselves only, or
perhaps muttering ihat seltlsh prayer, j
"Lord bles me and my wif??my sail
John and his wife, us four and no
more." I verilj* believe that selfishness
is the most universal sin of mankind.
How is it possible for a v<iry,ricb man
to covet more when thei^e are tlious- i
amis near him who live and languish

"I'm very lonely now. Mar(y,
For the poor make no n>ew friends,
Hut oil they love the better far
The few our Father senils."
Thrso niillionaires deserve little eredit
for their gifts to colleges and libra- |
rios, while the poor are stf*rvingr in the
great cities and are penned up in garrets
and hovels and earning a scanty
living by working for thij* rich. I was
ruminating about this when I read that 1
Mr. Iloldorby. the eonaecrhted minister |
in Atlanta, was getting u(> Jtn ice fund
for the poor. Wiiat a blesifing tliat will
be to the tired toilers wltci can only af- )
ford the topic! water that! comes from 1
the city hydrants. How Refreshing to i
mc sick who languish oil hanl beds
and have no comfort that the rich enjoy.
Th poor we have alvays with us
and ^ post of them will suffer rather
than beg. .Mr. Holderby is always do-I
lug good and can balan ce his books I
every nigl't and lie down to pleascnt
dreams. Education is a good thing and
we are gratified at the r< icent move- 1
ments of northern phlLant hropists, i nt 1
a movement to lift up t.l >e poor and :
give thorn a chance woul d bo a more
blessed tiling than to educate them in
books. Peter Cooper and George Peahcvdy
have a higher seat in heaven than
Rockfcllcr and Camttfii'. will ever,
reach. George Pcabody bellt v hole
blocks of tenement housf ? in I.ondtn I
for the poor. The rooms w ere alt ventilated
and supplied with pi re cold water
and the windows looket out upon
grassy lawns and flowers nnd shade
trees. There were bath ro 3ms attached
to every tenement, and 1i few pre ry
chromos on the walls at d the .cut 1
charged was only a pltti mce?enough ,
to make repairs and pay tl if taxes. This
was doing more for the pc'or than edu- I
cation could do.

It has been said that a r ight hungry
man can't get religion, ar d I reckon a
hungry child can't study to do much
good. Education is not al' vays had in
the schools. It is the Ufa \ "Ork Ot' ov? ry
one. Education comes by contact, by
absorption fiom others, h] ' reading and [
thinking, and by experlenc o and observation.
Some of the greate *t men in the
I'nited States n.ver hi'd a vear'3
schooling; and my own observation
has been that not more than ten college
hoys 1)i a hundred m ?de good use
of their education. They 11 ved and died
and made no sign. But fo r the sake ??f
the ton we must give tt p ninety a i
chance. These northern gt ntlt men who
met in Athens seem intensely In o;cnes;
and their speeches *.v sre in good
teui and in good temper. ludge 1th
ley's sp li was the shori est and best
of all. "We will receive it not as a
charity, hut as a measure of Justice," ;
and .Mr. BaltlwiA said, "Y es, that's it.
justice." an. ! I suppose iifnplied that

one bandied cn the debit side. But ir.v
daittth:. v. '.o went to ChaHoaton and
had a two weeks' vacation from too
care of acr children, returned aate
!
'nappy and refreshed. I set that down
at one hundred to balance off the old
mare's trespass on my garden. Another
married daughter, who has been s'ck
for a month, has recovered and can
now take up her bed and walk. She
came up to spend the day and brought
her children. Put that down at iwo
hundred. A dear sister who lives at
College Park is coming to see us tomorrow.
That news is worth a credit of
lifty. The mail has brought good, cheerful
letters from two of the far-away
boys. That is worth fifty. A good neighbor
sent me some fine tomato nbmts!
that Is twonty-llvc; and it is worth
twenty-five to look at my strawberry
Harden, and 1 look several times a day.
A visiting friend said it was worth
twenty-five a day to see the long trains
go by with their doubt engines. 1 ran
sit on my veranda and count the (Mrs,
from forty to sixty on every train, an I
not strain my mind. Kvcry evening
after school is out a dozen or more
children rather in my lawns under ih?
big oak trees am! play t nnis and hl-ic
and seek, and romp and swing, and 't
is worth twenty-five to sec tin n so
happy.
There are three roses in hie mi th's
morning, the first of the spring, and
that Is worth ten. Then again I -end
Father Kelley's memorial speech in j
Savannah, and it comported me to find \
one man bold enough to tell the two |
highest officials in the nation what !
they had done and what he thought of
them. 1 will put that speech and the
pleasosurc of reading it at one hundred.
From the window where I write
I i an see the worknu n raising the beautiful
Corinthian caps to the tops of the
tall majestic marble columns of th j
new ronrr house. The building grows j
into beauty every day and 1 am proud j
of it even though it will cost me i i it - j
tie more tax money. I put down the:
daily sight of it at ten. Th- n thcr are
my strawberry vines loaded with ripening
fruit. 1 will put them down again.

HER TRIBUTE OF SYMPATHY.
A Doonnrfmcnt That Callril Out un lZxpreinton
of Drop Sorrow.
It was the turn of the Columbia law
student who had figured successfully a3
an intercollegiate debater.
"True sympathy sometimes crops out
where you least expect to see it," he
said. "One cold day last December 1
was walking through a greenhouse in
Harlem. As I passed down one of the
walks near the outside I noticed a little
girl with her face Dressed attains* the
frosty winodw looking wistfully at the
flowers. The gardener's attention being
drawn to her, he asked her in. She
was crying. dnd the longing way in
which she looked at the flowers touched
us both. The gardener asked her if
she would like very much to have some
of them. The look of gratitude that
came Into her glistening eyes needed no
words of interpretation. He gave her
a hunch of carnations freshly cut that j
morning.
"We both ook an Eighth avenue oar
down town. She sat near the door and
as the cold wind blew In she would i
shake and the fears caused by the cold
and her sad erraud came unchecked.
The affection she bestowed upon that j 1
little bunch cf flowers soon aroused the :
attention and pity of most of those in |
the car. Sh'i would bury her face in
the flowers aid in her attempt to choke
back the so is her thinly clad little
11 tune wuuia snake so that I noticed
it from my seat at the front end of . 1
the car.
"I had to cave the car at Thirtieth
street, and vben I reached the curb
1 noticed tha- she. too, had left the car. '
By that time I was very much interested
in her, and decided to follow her
and see what she would do. She walked
toward tte North river, and then
turned down the avenue and stopped
before a barker's shop. 1 thought to
myself this ij a public place, and I'll
go in and set- what is the cause of her
sorrow and tc whom she is taking these
flowers. She timidly approached the
first barber, and between her sobs told
hini that she nad brought these flowers
.. At. -A.
iui max poor man who had died. The '
harbor looked up surprised and said:
" 'My child, von have made some mistake."
j
" No. sir," sae sobbed, '1 want to give (
these ilowers to him."
" 'Hut you have made a mistake,' he
replied. 'There has been no death j
here.'
"With the utmost assurance she
looked up at him and said, 'Oh. yes. sir.
lie did die here. and I want you to give
him these flowers.'
" 'You must be mistaken. What
h akes you think a man died here?' j
"Turning to the front or the shop I
. he murmured, 'Please, sir, doesn't it
ray there on the window, "Whiskers I
Dyed Here"?' New York Times.

"Uncle Sain" was Samuel Wilson, the
elilost of twelve ehildreii. born on this
farm. Luring the second war with
Knglaud lie and his brother Kdward
were contractors for (Joverninent sup1
lies at Troy, N. Y. It was tin- Wil- ,
s >ns' idea to label their beef and pork
packages "U. S," and as Samuel Wil-on
was generally called "Uncle Sam,"
the Army quickly referred to the supplies
as "Uncle Sam's." This title
quickly was applied to the Cloverniiient
ind after the war was used everywhere j
in that sense. Samuel Wilson died in
Troy in 1K.~|, aged eighty-eight years. I
The farm was sold by reason of the I
loath of the last member of the family.
It was owucd by a Wilson for l'J'J
