... nmwTW-w fiwnOTWiw.'r—*•' In Memory of Cousin Nettie. Written for tlio Homo Journal. I feel that there can not bo too much said In respect to the mem ory of this swetrt woman, and though much will be said; I feel that I owe some tribute of love to the one that my life so recently "came in contact with. I can truthfully say that there are none who loved this noble woman more than the writer. It is so natural for us to magni fy the virtues, and talents of our loved ones; but after all, we know them better than any one else, aud why should we not with pro priety speak of these things, espe cially in a wrifcton tribute like this, which is the last, perhaps, until we shall see her in the res urrection morn. I knew cousin Nettie only a few short months. Never will I forget the unex pected occasion that I met her. I loved her from the first. She was good in every acceptation of the term; her charities and charms endeared her to all. I went with, her to her home and spent two or three days at her home. The im pression that she made on my mind while there, will never be erased. She came as near being my ideal of a true woman as any one I ever knew. She. told me that she stood bride’s inaid with my own sweet mother when she wa9 married. It is no wonder then that the love that had al ready sprung up between us was strengthened. I never saw Cousin Nettie after then until about a month ago, I visited her again in her homo. She came >.to meet me with the same pleasant smile. Little did I think that would be the last time she would over meet me. Moving bo far from my mother, I had hoped to look upon Cousin Nettie as another. I know it is natural for her loved ones to bl deeply grieved for the loss of one so excellent, and at the present all oonsolation to them must seem impossible. But God has ordained that Time shall bring comfort to all earthly sorrow. Cousin Nettie Hiokt O 1 was a wo* manjwhoso place will not be easily filled in the world; how impossible to fill it in her home. Her dear husband and daughter, even in their loss, are fortunate, ior she left behind her a name un sullied, which Bhould bo a pre cious legacy to them. My mind naturally reverts to that favorite poem: “ 'l’is hard to part when friends are dear, Perhaps ’twill cost a sigh or tear; Thou steal away, give little warning, Say not good-ni Jvtl bat iu some bright er o lira a, Bid me Good morning. I” With profound sorrow we give her up even for a short while, but we are comforted with the thought that we will bid her “Good morn ing” in some brighter clime and then wo will understand. We all oondole with the family sincerely in this sad event, and if the sympathy of friends can be any consolation under the trying oircuinstances, be assured that all who knew her share in your sor row. God in his own good time will give you the peace that will ena ble you to wait with patience un til He shall call you to meet your loved one in Heaven. M. H C. How to Cure tiro Grip.

If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided, Among tfye tens of thousands who have used this remedy for these diseases, we have yet to learn of a single case hav ing resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclusively that it is a certain preventive of that dan gerous malady.

Augusta Herald. So strong is the vein of selfishness that rugs through the character of most normally constituted human beings that the surest and most di rect method of appealing to the ma jority of men and women in behalf of some reform is to search them through the medium of this inher ent selfishness. If this reason, if not for the many better reasons apparent, the good sense of a well-known writer who offers personal gain as a reward for ridding itself of the hateful vice of envy is to be highly commended. So healthful and helpful is the tone of his remarks, although he dwells chiefly upon the punishment attend ant upon cherishing envy that every word he had" written on the subject is worth remembering and worth repeating: “Envy is a disease which feeds on its own growth. It is its own pun ishment and its own deBtiny. Its prevalence is its severest condemns- tion. It is the one pain which we all suffer. It is the one weakness which is too strong for all. If it were the smallpox we would call in a physician and tack up a red card on the house. But as it is envy we feel that we are made that way and mistake complacency for resignation as we submit to its pangs. As a matter of fact, there is nothing of which we can afford to be envious. Every peach has a pit —though we can’t see it. Life is life, and God has no special moulds. The king upon the throne haB more opportu nities for bitter and galling disap pointments than the peasant in the hut. Each are equally the sport of fate or the masters of circumstances, as they may choose. When you are temped to envy the fortunes- of others, bear in mind that from every hilltop there loom* a valiey beyond- aud that so long as the heart can desire the lot or the posessions of others there will always be others; to envy. Envy is a footless waste of priofchappioo^ Tolls Its Own Story. A merchant who had two stores in small villages tried an experi ment. He put a bargain counter in each store containing the same articles at exactly the same price. In the newspaper of one village he advertised his special counter. In the other villafie ho did not advertise, and sold goods amount ing to $984. In the store in the village where he did advertise, he sold goods amounting to $1,728. In commenting on the result of his experiment that merchant says: “People who got the adver tisement would pass by one of my stores and drive miles to the other.—Gadsden Times. •— - >»o — • Practical.v Starving.
