er called us all into the parlor and
I saw the gay Christmas tree with
its presents for the different mem
bers of the family (and for our little
visitor, Lettie Webb,) and just be
neath it the mysterious stockings fill
ed with goodies from our dear old
Santa Claus, I felt like wishing every
body “Merry Christmas’”
Dear Cousins, as we are entering
into a new year, let’s go to work and
see how many subscribers we can get
for our paper, The Golden Age. I know
we all love our dear editor, and don’t
you think it would be nice to tell him
about it in this way?
I think a good plan would be for
each one of us to write to the Voices
of Youth and tell, at the last of every
three months, how many subscribers
we have secured during that time, and
next Christmas count them all, and
see how many we cousins have got
ten for this great paper.
Mary Booker, thank you for asking
me to write again. I assure you that
your letters are always interesting to
me. It has always been a pleasure
to me to write to the Voices of Youth

SORROW AND JOY.
Sorrow idles by her hearth, grieves
all the day long,
But Joy works in his field and sings
a grand, sweet song.
Yet sorrow may breathe of a joy more
glad,
And joy may tell of a sorrow more
sad,
Than the other one knew; so extrem
ities meet,
And the two, sorrow and joy, make a
whole, complete.

UPSHAW IN MISSISSIPPI.
As Brother Willie is in Texas and
can not possibly intercept this letter,
I take full liberty in reporting his
Jackson acts.
The Mississippi legislature will cer
tainly pass a strong prohibition bill.
A mass meeting of citizens from all
portions of the state was held Thurs
day afternoon at the county court
house. Governor-elect Noel was elect
ed president and speeches began to
fly thick and fast.
At this juncture Upshaw arrived in
Jackson over the Q. & C., and the
minute he stuck his head into the
door of that mass meeting he was
forced to the rostrum to tell “how
they did it” in Georgia. And he did
tell it with a vim.
The mass meeting adjourned, amid
great excitement, to hear Brother Up
shaw address the legislature. The
state capitol was crowded from pit
to dome. The great hall of the rep
resentatives never held such a throng.
Even standing room was at a premi
um and many were forced to hang
onto the railings of the galleries in
order to see or hear anything.
I wish I could describe it! Imagine
the new governor in Speaker Street’s
official chair; picture the greatest
crowd Mississippi’s capitol ever held;
picture Upshaw called to make the
speech of his life while Bishop Gallo
way and Governor Vardaman give
way to the young Georgian.
Upshaw was never so brilliant As
I see him now he tells a rare story
and discards a crutch; next in his
zeal he throws away his handker
chief and incidentally he is so em
phatic in his gestures that he smashed
a pearl cuff-button which Henry Gra
dy gave him; then he threw away
the cuffs amid tremendous excite
ment and enthusiasm.
Anyhow he did talk! Now serious;
now a sally of wit; always entertain
ing and convincing. Forty minutes
and he still at it. He has taken the
throng by storm. Fifty minutes and
he’s getting better and better. Sixty
minutes and every eye is upon him.
No longer is any attention paid to the
fact that the clock indicates 9:30, but
cries of “go on” induce him to let out
link by link the greatest speech ever
held in that palatial hall.
Judge Alexander, the foremost law
yer in the state (who drew the bill to
be passed by the legislature) had
spent forty minutes in a masterly le-

gal argument and Upshaw put on the
finishing touches in away that suited
the vast assembly.
Friday night he spoke at the Bap
tist Orphans’ Home and twenty-two
young men and women gave their
hearts to Christ as the result of his
efforts.
At this hour, 8:30 Saturday morn
ing, he has just boarded the train for
Starkville, where he speaks three
times Sunday and then goes to Dal
las. WOOSTER.

HE COULD RUN SOME.
A college boy, shabbily dressed, ap
plied to the foreman of a sheep camp
one fall day, for some employment.
The foreman looked him over some
what critically and inquired what he
could do.
“Oh, I don’t know much about ranch
work, but I used to be on the track
at college and I can run some,” re
plied the youth.
“Well, go over on that hillside and
run those sheep into the corral, and
then we’ll see what we can do for
you,” said the foreman.
The boy was gone a long time, but
finally returned and reported to the
foreman.
“Did you get them all in?” asked
the boss as he looked at the young
fellow, who seemed somewhat out of
breath.
“The sheep were no trouble, but
the lambs were so nimble they took
most of the time, but I finally suc
ceeded in getting them in, too,” said
the boy, proudly.
“Lambs, lambs!” repeated the fore
man; “why, there aren’t any lambs;,
you must be crazy.”
“Just come down to the corral and
see for yourself,” said the youth.
The foreman put on his hat and
went to the corral and found two jack
rabbits. He looked at the boy.
“I told you I could run some,” re
turned the latter. —Exchange.
The late Richard Mansfield was a
patient sufferer in his last illness, and
he retained his good cheer to a mark
ed degree. One day he told his phy
sician that he believed he would not
live many weeks longer.
“Bosh!” said the physician. “You
are good for a long time yet. Why,
man alive, did you ever hear of any
body near death with legs and feet as
warm as yours?”
“Yes,” replied Mr. Mansfield, “lots
of them. For instance, there was
Joan of Arc and the Salem witches.”—
