THE I'iiiNUES CHOICE.
Hl* Exporioiiooc With Father
Tima's Throe Daughters.
Far away In the gray country, in hi*
gray, windy .-axtle, lived Father Time
w.ili hi* three tluughtara, Fast, Present
a.el Future.
l’ast and Future were so beautiful
that it dazzled the eyes to look at
them; but I’rdsent was made to work
all (lay In tlio kitchen, and tier hands
and face were (lusty with ashes.
One day a prince came riding up to
the castle, seeking one of Father
Time's daughters for a wife. No a
great feast was prepared for him, and
Past and Future sat, the one on the
Prince's right hsrui, the other on his
left; but Present, who had cooked the
feast and spread the table, waited on
them all; and the prince paid no heed
to her.
“And now," said Father Time, after
the feast was ended, "which of ray
daughters will you choose for a wife?”
The prince looked at Future and he
looked at Past, aud It seemed to him
that Future was the more beautiful of
the two.
“And what," said he to her, "can
you do that is worthy of a prince's
wife?"
"1 can make beautiful clothes," said
Future, ‘•fit for a king to°wear; and 1
■nuke them out of nothing at aik”
"Then," said the prince, "if you will
make me such a suit of clothes before
morning, I will take you for my queen
to live with me all my life.”
80 that night while the prince slept
Future made royal ' clothes out of
nothing at all, and in the morning the
suit was done. It was made of silk
that shone a different color for every
way that It was turned, and crusted so
thick with precious stones that one
could hardly aee the cloth beneath
them.
“Yes," said the prince; “that is In
deed a suit of clothes fit for a king to
wear." Then ho lifted Future upon
the horse in front of him, and they
rode away from Father Time’s castle
toward the prince’s kingdom In the
east; but the way waa long, and the
sun shone hotter and hotter, and the
jeweled clothes weighed heavier and
heavier until the sweat rolled down
the prince's face, At last, just as night
was falling, they reached a great city
where the prince thought to rest for
awhile; but when they rode into the
streets, the people began to shout aud
point. "Look—look!” they cried. “See
the beggar on horseback!”
The prinee looked downward at his
clothes, and then he saw the false jew
els had melted In the sun as though
they were drops of tallow, and the fine
clothes were so spotted uud smeared
that they were hardly lit for a beggar
to wear.
The prinee was so ashamed that,
tired and hungry as he was, ho turned
his horse’s head and never stopped un
til he was back In Father Time's castle
again. "For," said he, “one who makes
•lothes that fall Into rags with one
day's Journey is 110 wif • fop me.”
lint there in Father Time'; astle an
other feast was served for the prince
even finer than the first had been, and
again Present waited upon the table.
Then the prince turned to Past. "And
what,” said he, "can you do that is
worthy of a prince’s wife?"
"I cuu sing such beautiful songs,"
said Pas*, “that lie who listens to
them will feel neither cold nor weari
ness nor hunger, but think only of what
I sing."
"Then," said the prinee, "J would
rather have you for a wife than Future;
for it is better to sing such songs as
•that than even to make beautiful
clothes out of nothing at all.”
So the next morning he called for
his horse, and he and Past rode mvay
off Into the world together, lint when
the sun beat down like fire upon his
head he began to grow sick and weary,
und then he asked Past to sing to him.
Past laid her upon his shoulder and be
gan to sing, and her song was so sweet
that the prinee forgot everything else,
lie dropped his reiu on iiis horse’s neck
und left it to pick its own way, and
whither it went he neither thought nor
eared.
Hut even Past cannot sing forever.
After awhile she stopped, and the
prinee began to look about him again.
Theu he found they were iu adeep black
chasm; he could not tell how they hud
come there nor could he tell how to get
out again, for everywhere there were
great rocks aud stones, and cliffs upon
either hand, and it wasgrowlng darker
and darker.
Then the priuoe cried: "Sing, sing
again. Past, sing us out of this black
chasm," but that Past could not do;
she only wept und wrung her liauds,
and begged to be taken home. Then
again the prince looked around main
all sides, but he could find no escape,
and he and Past might have died in the
black chasm had ho not heard Present
calling the cows home far away. The
prinee followed the sound of the voice,
und before long he saw a path open be
fore him, and there stood Father Time's
great gray eastle, and as soon as they
had reached It the prinee lifted Past
down. "Never again," said he, "shall
you slug me into such a black chasm as
that"
Then once more, l„r the third-time,
the prinee sat down to supper. "Tell
me,” said he to Father Time, "have
you no other daughter than these
two?"
"Yes," said Father Time. “I still
have one daughter, aud 'tis she who
has cooked the feast and waited upon
you." Then he ealled Present up from
the kitchen; she was dressed In her
sister’s cast off clothes, and her hands
wore red and rough with work.
Then said the prince: “What can
you do that is worthy of a prince’s
wife?"
"Not much," said Present “1 can
I cook and keep tile house clean, and I
i can spin."
“That is not much foru prince's wife
I to do," said he; "but better these than
I to bring ouo to shame or to sing one's
j thoughts away."
So the next morning the prince took

Ho nothing wa* loft for the true prince,
but to *ervi- a* goose herd. I.vrrv day
drove the (ferae out in the
meadow, but Present stayed behind in
the goose herd's hut Bind cooked his
dinner and made the house neat All
she naked of the prince was that, as ho
followed the (feese, he should gather up
the feathers that fell from them and
bring them home to her.
The prince was willing enough to do
that, for he had nothing else hi do all
day long but tend the geese and watch
the clouds floating in the sky; so every
day he brought her home a handful of
feathers. These Present kept, and at
night, while the prince was asleep, she
rose and worked in the moonlight until
at the end of a year and a day she had
made for herself a pair of great gray
wings.
Then at night, when the prince was
fast asleep. Present rose up and took
the great gray wings and fastened
them on her shoulders, Nhe opened the
door very softly, and, spreading the
wings she had made, she flew away and
away under the stars'until she came to
the cantle where the false king lived.
There was a window wide open, and
into it Present flew. There lay the
false king, fast asleep in bed, but
Present went by him so quietly that he
never stirred, and she opened door
after door until she came at last to the
room where the royal robes were kept
She put them under her cloak and
then she flew away home again.
There she hid her wings and the
royal rolies in the closet and lay down
again beside the prince, and all the
while he never stirred nor woke.
The next evening when the prince
came home he said: ‘There is a great
stir over at the castle, for thieves were
there last night and stole the king's
royal robes.”
"VVliat is that to us?" said Present;
"you had much better sit down and eat
your supper while it is hot." So the
prince sat down and ate and drank,
and after supper he fell fast asleep.
Again Present took out the wings
and fastened them to her shoulders and
flew away to the palace, and this time
she brought back with her the false
king's golden crown.
The next evening when the prince
came home he said: “The thieves were
in the palace again last night, and notv
it is not only the royal robes but the
golden crown that is gone."
"What is that to us?" said Present;
"come and eat your supper while it is
still hot.” So the prince sat down at
the table, and, after he had eateu, he
threw himself upon the bed and fell
again into a deep sleep.
Now, for the third time, Precent fit
ted the wings to her shoulders, as she
had before, and flew away to the false
king’s palace; and this time it was the
royal scepter itself that she took.
When Present readied the goose
herd’s hut again the dawn was just
breaking. She hid the scepter in the
closet with the royal robes and the
crown, and then she woke the prince
and bade him come to breakfast
After the prince had eaten, Preseht
rose from the table. "And now," said
she, “the time has come for you to go
to the false king's palace and claim
your own.”
"But how can I do that?" said the
prince. "No one would know me, and
they would all laugh, as they did when
1 first came home, if 1 were to go in
my goose-herd's dress to claim the king
dom."
Then Present brought out the royal
robes and bade him put them on.
The prince looked at the robes and
wondered.
"These were once mine." said he,
“and never did I think to wear them
again. Whence came them?”
"They came neither by land nor soa;
but as they once were yours, so are
they now," replied Present.
The prince clothed himself in the
royal robes, and there he stood as
stately aud noble as any lord.' "But
how shall the people know that I am
indeed a prince,” said he, "when 1
have no crown to wear?"
Then Present brought forth the
golden crown from the cupboard where
it lay hidden, and placed it upon his
head, and then in truth he felt himself
u prince once more.
"llut," said he, "how can a king gov
ern a kingdom with no scepter to show
his royal power?"
Then Present brought forth the
royal scepter and placed it in his hand,
and now at last he looked the king he
was.
“And now come,” said Present, “and
together wo will go up to claim the
kingdom that is yours." Then even as
she spoko Present cast aside her rags,
and lo! she was clothed all in cloth of
gold and jewels so radiantly bright
that the whole hut shone as though
with sunlight.
The prince gazed at her in wonder
and awe. "Who art thou?" he cried,
for it seemed as though a cloud had
dropped from before Ills eyes.
"The same I always was,” said
I'resent. "Only now at last you see me
as 1 truly am.”
Then, still wondering, the prince
took her hand in his, and they went
forth together; and all the people when
they saw the prince knew him. and the
gates flew open before him. So the
prince and Present passed through the
gates and on up the stairs and into the
palace; and when the false king saw
them he was seized with fear and
trembling and fell down before them;
but ull the people shouted aloud for
joy because the true prince had come
back at last to claim his own.—Kath

Called From Labor to Refreshment.
As the meraoria l committee of
St. Mary’s Lodge No. 266, it be
comes our sad duty to record the
death of our esteemed brother,
Joel A. Fowler, who departed this
life on the 21st day of January,
1894.
Bro. Fowler was born Septem
ber Bth, 1823, professed religion
and joined the church at the ear
ly age of fifteen years, and for the
last fifty years of his life was a
prominent official in the Southern
Methodist Church, and being
loyal to all her institutions, zeal
ously labored to promote her
welfare.
As a friend lie was true and
faithful at all times. Asa couu
selor, there are many living wit
nesses to bear testimony to the
wisdom of his superior judgment.
Our brother was twice married,
his first wife being the daughter
of Mr. Jeff. Tipton, and to them
were born three children, two of
whom are yet living; the wife and
mother died in the year 1854.
His second marriage was to
Mrs. Sarah M. Hardin, nee Shaw,
and to this union there are eight
living children.
Some twenty years ago he at
tached himself to this Lodge and
soon became a bright Mason; and
being very zealous and faithful Id
all the duties and honors pertain
ing to the craft, his brethren soon
called him to fill the highest sta
tion, and for many years he
worthily wore the honors and
dignity of a Master, governing
the craft with fidelty, giving them
good and wholesome instruction
for their labors.
For a number of years he was
also a member the Gland Lodge
of this State, and there are doubt
less many brethren scattered here
and there over this broad domain,
who with us, will miss his wise
counsels, and the pleasures of his
association.
And now that after a long and
useful life—more than three score
years and ten—years of sowing
and reaping, rejoicing and weep
ing, our brother comes to the end
of bis journey and lays his record
down, may we not hope, that as
true men, and true masons, we
will spread the broad mantle of
charity oyer all his faults and all
his failings. Ever trying to re
member the weakness of all hu
man nature, let us consider, that
although as each of us, he may
have had the peculiar character
istics of his own peculiar nature,
yet in every relation of life, he
endeavored to prove himself in
that highest and best sense a
true man; If lie was resentful, he
was generous—impulsive, but just
—quick to condemn vice, yet full
of charity to the offender; firm and
sincere in his convictions of right,
and conscientious iu the discharge
of every duty, he surely deserves,
and has doubtless received, the
highest reward bestowed upon
men or angels—that final decree
of the Judge of all the earth—
“well done thou good and faith
ful servant.”
Let us therefore hold iu sacred
memory the precepts and exam
ple of our brother, esteeming him
a guide and counselor worthy of
our highest emulation, aud may
the experience of the past of our
lives, serve as warnings for the
future, thereby iuspiriug us with
a stronger faith aud a greater
zeal in all the Godlike mottoes of
brotherly love, relief aud truth,
enabling us to overcome all evil
influences and having hearts
filled with Cbristlike graces, leave
a life count closed without blot or
stain to mar its sacred page.
Our brother’s reqaest was that
bis body be buried with the ser
vices of the order he loved so
well, and our gathering around
his grave but feebly attested our
love aud esteem, and was but a
faint shadow of a just tribute to
a true aud faithful life. Therefore,
Resolved Ist. That in meek
submission we bow to the will c f
the'gnmt “I Am” who doeth all
things |well, aud in His wisdom
called from earthly toil aud labor
into eternal refreshment and rest,
our venerable brother. We there-
I fore sorrow not ac these who have
110 hope, but with confiding faith
I put our trust iu Him who said, U I
■un the way, the resurrection and I
the life, and whosot ver believeth 1
in me, though he be dead, yet;
shall he live #gain.”
2nd. That we extend onr heart-1
felt sympathy to the bereaved j
family whose only source of true
resienatiou, is the God of the “fa
therless uud the widow."
3rd. That this memorial bo!
spread upon our minutes, und a i
copy be sent to the family of the
deceased brother, and the Mes
senger be requested to publish
the same.

What will do it?.
Medical writers claim that the
successful remedy for nasal
catarrh must be non-irritating,
easy of application, and one that
will reach the remote sores and
ulcerated surfaces. The history
of the efforts to treat catarrh is
proof positive that only one
remedy has completely met these
conditions, and that is Ely’s
Cream Balm. This safe and
pleasant remedy has mastered
catarrh as uothing else has ever
done, and both physicians and
patients freely concede this fact.
Our druggists keep it.
For 1894 the Messenger will be
better prepared than ever to do
job work of all kinds. During the
last vear we succeeded in furnish
ing blanks to nearly all our Jus
tices. This year we want to place
every one of them on our list, and
those of our sister counties. Our
blanks are printed on the best of
paper, and we duplicate Atlanta
prices. When in town call and
see them, or write us for samples,
enclosing two cents to cover pos
tage. They will be cheerfully
sent.
