Written for tin* Courant-American. OLl> HOME, FAKKWKLL. BY J. E. KI NS. Farewell old home, alas, farewell. With memories foiul w'e bid adieu To parents, brothers and sisters dear. To friends and neighbors all of you. While memory loves to linger yet Around the hearthstone of our youth. We feel that duty prompts us yet To tell, alas, the solemn truth, Farewell old home, with all your joys, With sorrows that we’ve helped you share. With tears we’ve shed o’er triends now dead, Farewell to girls, farewell to boys. Girls grown to womanhood since then, We mean the time when oft you strayed Witli boys who now are stalwart men, Away from school and truant played. Farewell old home, we pause to think Of prayers once offered ’neatli your roof. She knew our wayward minds would driuk I)ep into thoughts, far far from .vyuth ; Our mother, ah! God bless the name. The greatest boon to man e’er given. Her prayers are echoed just the same Although the soul’s high up in heaven. Farewell old home, nr, word tis true lias half ‘he meaning you possess, It takes us back to childhood days V, here mother’s heart would always bless; And though in manhood now we write, Call it not weakness here to shed A tear for mother, though out of sight, ’ l’is true we know that she is dead. Farewell old home, old hearthstone ties, Fond recollections of the past, Our mother’s prayers and tears and sighs, May they in memory ever last; And when we’ve done our masters will And have our passport o’er the tide, May we look forward up the hill And see our home ou the other side, For the ( ouhant-Ameiiican. Life is What- We Make It. The great desire of mankind in general is to prosper and get rich. Some go atliie as though they thought people should be thankful for their pres ence. Their seeming importance gener ally terminates in a downfall at an early period, and they find their level in disap pointed existence. Others manfully per severe, taking hold of things continually as they appear to block up the way of progress understamliugly, and finally come out often ahead of their most san guine expectations. Life is made up of “up's and downs," and the sooner we learn to realize the fact that to enrich ourselves we must not trample on the right given us, but must store up every faculty and power of mind and body to use it judiciously in working out the wealth that is in store for us, the mo re certain our success. If we maltreat associates, or strive to gain our ends by dishonorable means, we must sooner or later expect to be re warded accordingly. Truly, life is in a great measure what we make it. There are some things we may win with violence; others, and these are far more precious, can only become ours by moderation, patience, cheerfulness and self-restraint. Some persons think to make their way through the difficulties of life as Han nibal is said to have done across the Alps, by pouring vinegar upon them—a very unlikely process indeed. There is a better way—the taking of things by their smooth handles; thus they may yield us their aid, if not their secrets to enrich us, and wo shall be better and wiser, if not stronger and richer people. Ford, Ga. Dare Lee. What Mrs. Grundy Says. That Vanity Fair very rarely tarnishes ‘‘friends in need.” That women carry pet dog's around who would scorn to wheel a baby carriage. That the man who travels on a pass is one who should most dread an ac cident. That ’tis often on our choice in mar riage, friends, our good or evil name depends. That a good rule for dentists is never to look an impecunious customer in'the mouth. That too many people write books nowadays who haveu t anything inter esting to say. That society people can never tell what disgrace to them the morrow will bring forth. That the*average society man’s con versational abilities are confined within narrow limits. That most self-made men go through the world as if immediately behind a brass band. That too many banks of the present day have a superfluity of purely orna mental directors. The young ladies too much given to out door sports are a trifle too mascu line for romance. That it is difficult to see how Christian people can reconcile themselves to the “faith cure.” That the girl who “reads everything that's going” is not often the best of literary critics. That, to create a laugh, some of the topical-song singers go beyond the lim its of decency. That about the most uninteresting woman is she who thinks it to be inter esting to be an invalid. That too much base ball interferes with the proper education of the young idea how too shoot. That ere long the cigarette dealers will probably give you ten cents to buy a package of them. That some of the fashionable clubs are thinking seriously of employing a pro fessional collector. There are tivecounties (all prohibition) in this State that are not represented in the penitentiary.
