Old Key Home Burned.
At about 8 o’clock Wednesday
night our people were suddenly
startled by the alarm of fire being
given by tho firing of pistols. It
was soon discovered that the fire
was near the city limits, on the
Montezuma road, and upon closer
investigation it was found to be
the old Key residence, now owned
by Mr D. B. Leonard and occupied
by) Luke Hicks, colored. It was
one of the oldest houses in this
community.
The fire is thought to liavo
caiffilit from a lamp onto some of
the bed-clothing. Almost every-
the house was destroyod by the
fire, as well as the entire house.
A UTTLE NONSENSE.
Foolish Mistake of a Man Who Wa*
Soliciting For Charity,
The man who was soliciting for a
charitable institution argued Ion#
and earnestly. He wanted a con
tribution of $100. Finally the mer
chant reached for his checkbook.
“Tho Lord loyeth a cheerful giv
er,” quoted the solicitor, with
cheerful satisfaction.
“Docs he?” asked tho merchant,
hesitating.
“You’ll find it in the Bible,” as
serted the solicitor.
Tho merchant pui hack his
sheckbook.
“I was about to give vou $100,"
he explained, “but I conldn’t possi
bly do that cheerfully. Doubtless
it would be more pleasing in the
eyes of the Lord if I kept down tu
a point where I can he cheerful.”
Thereupon ho handed a five dol
lar bill to the solicitor and smiled
pleasantly.—Chicago Post.
In Memoriam.
In ntemory-of I. Y. Peavy, who died
April 8tli, 1993. Ago 80 years and 4
months.
This is a bright, glad beautiful world,
fragrant with the odor of flowers, tune
ful with tiie songs of birds, resplendent
with tiie glories of oarth, sea and sky;
yet Its attractions are now unnoticed
by us for grim merciless death has ap
peared in our midst and snatched from
us onr dear father, whom we loved so
much ami now our sky is hung with
black and somber cloud curtains. Our
vision is o’ercast with the gloom ot
asMjfcw. and every sound that strikes
•nr"ears has in it acadence of despair.
Without the presence of thntdeur one
who Inis gone before, the world indeed,
stems empty and cheerless to gs and in
our hearts there is a dreary, dismal,
aching void. The only consolation that
is vouchsafed us is the sweet realisat on
of the fact that our deur father is at
peace. TI10 one upon whom wo have
livi.hed our affection is now in that
land where tho wicked cease from
troubling and the weary is at rest.
Bendinglover the open coffin, looking
at the folded hands, which will never
clasp ours ngnin in this world. Gazing
upon tiie closed eyes in which we will
never more see, our immage reflects on
this enrtli, our scalding tears fall as we
realize that our earthly companiousliip
with this one Is torever at an end. And,
as stated before, our only consolation
is that our heart’s idol has heard the
words of the Father's lips, “Well done
thou good and faithful servant. Enter
t'lou into the Joys of thy Lord.” Our
consolation is found in a consideration
of the fact that our treasure is in lieav-
et. The poor, worn frame will never
more bo scratched with the agonies of
pain. Sufi, r ng is at an end, but t’wlll
o.ily be a short while until we will
cross the dark river and join our com
panion among tiie hosts that are saved
on the oilier shore.
Oh father, thy gentle voice is hushed,
Thy worm, true lienj-t is still.
And on thy pale and peaceful face
Is resting death’s cold chill
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast,
Wo have kissed thy marble brow,
And in our aching hearts we know
We have no father now.
(Written by J. L. Peavy.)

A Dearth of Poets at Oxford.
This year the Kewdigate prize for
English verse was not uwurded, nn
event which has not happened for
fifty-four years. In 1849 the subject
was “CiL'snr’s Invasion of Britain,”
a theme which beggared the poetic
talent of an entire university,
though many copies of verses were
sent in. This year the subject was
“Charles I. at Oxford,” a subject
which, one would think, was well
adapted to poetical treatment and,
moreover, especially suited to the
genius of the spot. The English
verse prizes at the universities have
been awarded to on extraordinary
number of men who afterward at
tained distinction. The Kewdigate
prize, which was founded in lbuG,
has been won by John liuskin, Mat
thew Arnold, Bishop Heber, Sir
Edwin Ariqild, Dean Miluiau, It.
8. Hawker, John Addington Sy-
monds, Mr. W. 11. Uallock and a
number of other distinguished men.
