THE SJORY OF LIFE.
Say what is life? ’Tis to be born;
IV A ith hapless babe, wail to greet the the light
a sharp cloudy as if morn
Foretold a noon and night;
To weep, to sleep, and weep again.
With sunny smiles between, and then? t
And then apace the infant grows
Happy, To be a laughing, sprightly boy,
despite but his little woes,
Were he conscious of his joy;
To >oe, in short, from two to ten,
A merry, moody child; and then?
And then, in coat and trousers clad,
To learn to say his Decalogue,
And break it, an unthinking lad,
With mirth and mischief all agog;
A truant oft by field and fen
To capture butterflies, and then?
And then,increased in strength and size,
To be. anon, a youth full grown;
A hero in nis mother’s eyes,
A young Apoll# in his own ;
To imitate the ways of men
In fashionable sins, and then?
And tlreii, at last, to a man.
To fail in love ; to wdo and W'ed ;
Withsootliingbraintosehemeand gold plan,
To gather or toil for bread ;
To sue for fame with tongoe or pen,
And gain or los$. the prize ; and then?
.
And then in gray and wrinkled eld
To Tomuurn the the sc–iea Speed of life’s decline;
praise in his youth beheld,
And dwell lpemory of Lang-Syne,
To dream nwile tgith darkened ken,
Then drop into his grave, and then?
—Joust6. Saxe.
Ke«P the Facts in View.
The terrible expiatiou which
Holt was forced to pay for his crime
will arouse a flood of discussion, car
ned on by those who know the facts , , on
the one side and by those „ who . do , not ,
care for facts on the other.
The people of the community con
*
cerned, ,, those who , form ^.. its grand ... juries
when in session and those who would
have been on the petit juries a s well,
met on a peaceful Sunday afternoon
and pronounced the sentence which
they proceeded to execute. Not all the
power of appeal of Judge Freeman nor
the personality of former Governor At
kinson could swerve the people from
their purpose. This was to be r**gret-j.
ted, because the criminal had been de -1
livered into the hands of the law; he
could have been tried , convicted , sen
tenced and hanged within thirty-six
hours. All of this was so certain that
we feel that the people should have let
the law take its course.
But, while the form of this criminal’s
punishment cannot be upheld, let those
who are disposed to criticise it look into
the facts—and by these facts temper
the judgment they may render.
An unassuming, indistrious and
hardworking farmer, after aday’s toil j
sat at his evening meal- Around him
sat wife and children, happy in the
presence of the man who was fulfilling
to them every duty imposed by nature
At peace with the world, serving God,
and loyai to humanity, they looked for
ward to the coming day.
Noiselessly, the murderer, with up-
lifted ax, advanced from the rear, and
sank it to the helf in the brain of the
unsuspecting victim.
Tearing the child from the mother’s
breast, he flung it into the pool of blood
dozing from its father’s wound.
Then began the culmination which
Jms dethroned the reason of the people
pi western Georgia during the past
week. As critics will howl about the
lynching, The Constitution will be pat*
doned for stating the plain facts.
The wife was seized, picked ; thiown
upon the flgpr, where her clothing
soaked up the blood of her husbAnd,
and ravished!
Remember the facts! Remember
the dark night in the country home!
Remember the slain husband, and,
above all, remember that shocking de
gradation which was inflicted by the
black beast, his victim swimming in
per husband’s warm blood as the brute
field her to the floor!
Ktep the facts in mind ! When the
picture is painted of the ravisher in
flapieg, go back and view that darker
picture of Mis. Cranford outraged in
the blood of her murdered husband !

Here are golne that appe „red a short
time ago 14 in a London paper:
A little boy 3 was caught 6 by an irate
farmer , lp in one of his apple tr.es.
“Come down this instant,” roared the
farmer, “and I’ll give you a sound box
, n the ear, yon bla’guard.” “Tro’h, sur,
I wouldn’t come down if you’d give me
a dozen » wa8 the reply,
\ seliool inspector, while examining
a class of small boys in geography ih't
na tional school, in a remote part of
i re i and) put the question, “What is a
lake?” t i Sure, ’tis the hole in a kit
tle, sur,” said one of the youths. It
was the only ‘ ‘ lake” with which he was
acquainted.
Two countrymen were struggling in
the dust on the highway. The upper
most was thumping the lowermost. A
gentleman, coming upon them said,
“Let him get up. ‘Tisacowardly thing
to hit a fellow when he’s down.” The
victor panted, “Yer honner’d niver be
afther askin’ me to let him up av ye
knew the thrubble I had to down him.”
During the Crimean war the supply
of tallow was limited, and, as a conse
quence, candles went up in priee. A
woman was charged a half penny in
stead of s farthing for a tallow earidle
at the village shop, “Now, how is that
Mr. O’Brien?” she inquired. “It’s due
to the war,” said the shop keeper
NO. 4.
“Well,” exclaimed the woman,*“I niver
knew they fight by candle-light be
fore.”
The governor of a prison in Limerick
told an amusing story of a refractory
prisoner with whom he had once to
deal. The man refused to work on the
treadmill, and whh^ brought before the
governor for disobedience of the war
den’s orders. The governor asked him
what objection he had to working on
the treadmill. “Me go on the tread
mill?” he cried. “Niver, sorr,” and
proudly drawing himself up he added,
“I’d rather lave the jail first.”
A farmer’s wife bought a box of
matches in a shop in Limerick on her
weekly visit to the city. On the next
market day she returned the matches,
as they were damp. “They’re al_l right,
ma’am,” said the shopkeeper; “look at
this,” and he lit one of the matches by
rubbing it on the leg of his trousers.
“Arrali, get out with you,” cried the
countrywoman. “When I want to
light the fire must I come in six miles
from Billyneety to strike a match on
yer ould britches?”

Choking Easily Managed.
‘king is immediately relieved if
the left arm is raised as high as pos
sible. Very frequently at meals and
when they ire at play children get
choked while eating, and the customary
manner of relieving them is to slap
them sharply on the back. The effect
of this is to set the obstruction free, so
that it can be swallowed. The same
thing can be brought about by raising
the left hand of the child as high as
possible, and the relief comes much
more rapidly. In happenings of this
kind there should be no alarm, for if
the child sees that older persons or par
ents get also. excited The they best are thing very is liable tj
get so
the child to raise its left arm, roM
mediately the difficulty passes JB
