PEOPLE WILL TALK
You may get thru the world,
But ’twill be very slow,
If you listen to all
That is said as you go
You’ll be worried and fretted
And kept in a stew,
For meddlesome tongues
Must have something.to do.
And people will talk. >
If quiet and modest,
You‘11 have it presumed
That your humble position
Is only assumed.
You’re a wolf in sheen’s clothing
Or else you’re a fool,
But don’t get exc'te I;
Keep perfectly cool.
For people will talk.
And then if you show
Tlie least boldness of heart,
Or a slight disposition
To take your own part,
They call you an upstart,
Conceited and vain,
But keep straight ahead,
Don't stop to explain.
For people will talk.
If threadbare your dress,
Or old-fashioned your hat,
Some person will surely
Take notice of that.
And hint rather strong
That you can't pay your way;
But don’t get excited
Whatever they say.
For people will talk.
If you dress in the fashion,
Don’t think to escape,
For they criticize them
In a different shape.
You’re ahead of your moans,
Or your tailor’s unpaid,
But mind your own business
There’s naught to be made.
For people will talk.
Now the best way to do
Is to do as you please,.
For your mind, if you have one,
Will then be at ease,
Of course, you will meet-
With all sorts of abuse,
But don’t think to stop it,
Its really no use.
For people will talk.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF
LITTLE OPAL TAUNTON
It has pleased out Heavenly Father
in his all wise providence to send one
of his shining angels down to the
home of Mi 1 , and Mrs. Worthin Taun
ton to pluck one of its fairest amt
sweetest members.
Little Opal was born June 20, 15TM
and departed this life March 4, 19£L
She was a child of a bright, lovable
disposition and a favorite with aW.
who knew her. The illness which end
ed this little life was short but her
suffering was great. We do not know
why God l e nt her to us for so short *
time but he knows best and doeth aB
things well.
Oh it seems so hard to give up our
dear ones never more to meet agars:
on earth but we remember Jesus saii
"Suffer little children to come unte
me and forbid them not for of such is
the kingdom of heaven.” While wt
we feel that it is our loss yet it i*
heaven’s eternal gain. One mout
bright jewel to shine in our Saviour's
crown. Her dear hands are beckoning:
her loved ones to come to a brighter
•and happier home where parting ahfi
pain pre no more. May they so live
that they too will be ready when the
Master calls them to join therr -daif-
ir,g in the bright beyond.
When.we see a precious blossom
That we tendered with such care
Redly taken from our bosom
How our aching hearts despair.
Round her dear grave we lingered
Till the setting sun was low
Feeling all our hearts had perished
With the flower we cherished so.
Farewell dear, but not forever
'“here will be a glorious dawn
We will meet to part no never
In that resurrection mom.
The sweet childish voice that usefi
sack so it will work, add one grass
hopper to each pint to give it a, kick. , to gladden the happy hearts of her
