A district school not far away Mid Berkshire hills one winter’s day, Was humming with its wonted noise Of threescore mingled girls and boys. Some few opon their tasks intent. But more on furtive mischief bent. The while the masters downward look Was fastened on a copy-book; When suddenly, behind his back. Rose sharp and clear a rousing smack As’t were a battery of bliss Let off in one tremendous kiss! “What is that f” the master cries, “That, thir,” a little imp replies, “Wath William Willith, if you pleath. I thaw him kith Thuthanua I’eathi” With frown to make a statue thrill The master thundered,“Hither,Will,’’ Like wretch o’ertaken in his track With stolen chatties on Ins back, Will hung his head In fear and shame And to the awful presence came, A great, green, bashful simpleton. The butt of all good-natured fun. With smile suppressed.birch upraised The Ihreatener faltered,“l'm amazed, That you, my biggest pupil, should Be guilty of an act so rude! Before the whole set school, to boot. What evil genius put you to’t?” “ ’Twas she herself.sir, sobbed the lad, “I did not mean to be so bad 1 But when Susannah shook her curls And whispered, I was ’fraid of girls, Aud dursn’t kiss a baby’s doll, I could’t stand it, sir, at ail, But up and kissed her on the spot! I know—boo hoo—l ought to not, But from her looks—boo-hoo — I thought she kind o’ w'shed me too.” THE SIN OF IDLENESS. BY REV. SAM P. JONES. “By the sweat of thy face shalt thou earn thy bread.” Many regard this declaration of the Almighty to Adam as a curse, but perspiration and prosperity go hand in hand, they are twin broth ers and very thick with each oth er. The good God has fixed it up so in human affairs that useful, rational employment is not only essential to good character, but contentment aud happiness can only be obtained in harmony with this law. A vagabond is a worth less fellow, a worthless fellow is one who produces nothing, makes uothing. earns nothing. He is a consumer of that which others make, whether he be a millionaire or a plain old bum, if he does nothing he is uothing, for what the man does is the test of what the man is, I once did nothing, unless it was some oasy something. I know there is no happiness or usefulness connected with such a life. I have been a busy fellow for 25 years, too busy to borrow trouble, too busy to get into any devilment, too busy at work to worry, and I have had about as much genuine fun and rial enjoy ment in the last quarter of a cen tury as any man with equal capac ity with me. I have observed this fact not only in Georgia but in all the states of this Union, and away up iu Canada, and that the busy man was the useful man, the useful man was the happy man. A doctor who does not practice, a lawyer who has no clients, a far mer who spends lub time in town, a woman who neglects her home for society and clubs, a boy who boards with bis daddy ora “sonof agun” who is is living with his daddy-iu-law—take the whole gang and there is not enough con tentment and happiness in the crowd to make a flea jump up and crack his heels together and crow. My boys are 21 and past, they boarded with their daddy until after they were 21, and if they were good for anything I didn’t find it out. Now they are hard at work, busy every day, the sun doesn’t rise soon enough or set late enough for them. In former times they could not go to sleep at night, they said, until 1 or 2 o’clock, they were restless, and never could get up to breakfast. Now they hit the roost pole at 8 o'clock and are up when the chick ens begin tc crow. They tell me now they know what contentment is. It is as true about girls as it is of buys—the girl who is busy with her books, busy in the barn yard, bu«y down with the calves iu the lot, busy in the kitchen, busy iu the house-work, a girl who can play us exquisitely on the cook stove as she can on the piano, these girls are happy- It is a thing of beauty and a joy to sit around and look at their rosy cheeks, and listen to their merry laughter. This rule even goes to the horse in the lot. If a horse stands up and does nothing for a while he gets too big for his breeches and he wants to walk on two feet, and some times he does not care which two feet he is walking on, but the faithful old fellow that goes every day, eats up his corn and fodder at night, lies dowu to rest, and next morn ing is iu his place faithful and true. My dog seems to thiuk more of himself wh“n bird time comes, roaming tile fields in search of game, and when he stands with one fore foot uplifted, his tail on a level with his body, and his nose on the birds, it is a real tonic to look on his happiness and ap preciate his good character. Tho dog that lies around all day and eats and sleeps, and then harks at uothing all uiglit is a nuisance that ought to be a ated If parents everywhere could see these facts there would be no idle boys. 1 believe it is common sense and philosophy to spend money and time and thought in provid ing some work for the idle ones to do. I’d rather do someting for nothing than to do nothing for nothing. When 1 am doing some thing for nothiug I am at least developing muscle and acquiring the habit of industry, but to do nothing for uothing while I am at it manhood is petering out, mus cles getting more flabby and the habit of indolence fixing itself up on me. These facts are all as true in the moral world as they are in tho physical. The reason our churches ar6 so inefficient and the conquest of the world going on so slowly is because there are so many of the dear old brethren “just a trusting in the Lord,” nothing more. I’d rather be a plain sinner than to be a professor of religion aud do as little for Christ as a plain sinner would do. lam like tho old ne gro preacher when he said, “I’se gwiue to preach the gospel to the bench members today, I Bhall have no reference to do officious mem bers of my church in dis dis couse.” Tell mo a man can be a Cl ristian and never go to prayer meeting any more thau a calf, and never reads his Bible any more than a horse, and never prays any more than a billy goat—you had as well tell mo that a man can deadbeat his way at a widowed mother’s table aud be respectable. I respect any man who works; I do not respect any man or boy who won’t work. All work and no play may make Jack a dull boy, but all play and uo work will put Jack in the chaingang. if he gets his deserts. What is a clock worth that won’t run and run right? I had as soon carry a trade dollar in my pocket with a watch chain huug to it as my watch if my watch didn’t run and keep the time. From stars to clouds, from angels to infants, this rule works —God’s curse is upon idleness. God and man honor industrious, diligent men. If some father who is fostering his boys iu their idleness, and some mother whose daughters are a constant care to her, if some boys and girls who have never done anything usoful, happen to glance over these lines I have written and put this philosophy to the test, I shall not have writ ten this letter in vain. It is as true as heaven that usefnl and rational employment is as essen tial to character, manhood, wo manhood, happiness and content ment, as that rain and sunshine are essential to the growing fields of corn and wheat —Atlanta Jour nal. NO RIGHT TO UGLINESS. The woman who is lovoly in face, form and temper will always have friends, but one who would be attractive must keep her health. If she is weak, sickly and all run down, she will be nervous and ir ritable. If she has coustipution or kidney trouble, here impure blood will cause pimples, blotches, skin eruptions and a wretched complexion. Electric Bitters is the best medicine in the world to regulate stomach, liver and kid neys and to purify the blood. It gives strong nerves, bright eyeg, smooth, velvety skin, rich com plexion.

Not a few have re marked in Norfolk during the try ing ordeals through which the Sea board Air Line has passed of re cent weoks, that the main force toward its successive legal victo ries has lain in the fact, that thro’ such sympathetic touch with the people at all points, the system has come up fortified in the faith and goodwill of the common folk of at least five Southern States. —Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
