LIGHTS OUT.
TTow often in our little boat
On summer evenings we would float;
Careless *d time, of east and west,
• 'easing from idle talk and jest,
As o’er the waters restless flow.
Drifted in cadence swift and low,
Tliat plaintive bugle call—
Lights out!
How through the old fort it would ring,
Strange echoes from the casemates bring;
While we would wait, our oars at rest
I’jion the river’s peaceful breast,
And watch the yellow lamp gleams <llO
Al the silvery warning sigh
Os Unit plaintive bugle call—
Lights out!
From far-off camp, from land of fears,
O'er wastes of distance, parting, tears,
<’omes the familiar sound of old.
Our life in darkness to enfold.
Alone, upon life's troubled sei.
Th.' fateful nio.s'-.ige ■ ■ nip's to me.
Os that plaintive bugle call
Lights out!

"fa,fs." ami yet when your own brother
com.'.- to talk with you ol his affairs you
show li.in ■■on are bored and h" feels there
is no sympath'-tic feeling bctA"en J" t-
Girls if this has been your plan begin over
md 'bird that brother to you with the
strorm'.-t cords of love, interest and syni
' Second, never laugh at his mistakes or
atvkwarkncss; make him believe in himself
1-a letting him see you trust ami believe in
him. Girls are mu< l. more apt to “catch
on” Io the ways of SO' lety than a boy; it
i« more natural for our sex to feel at ease,
sister should endt avor to make her
brother feel at ease by every encourage
ment in hi r power. hen introducing him
tc ..-ners y f< w bright words and don’t
hr'." him until you “ be is at ease.
Never neglect your brother; let him share
In all your pleasures; let it be understood
accept no invitations to parties or
picnics where your brother is excluded, and
when there, if lie is a bashful boy. see that
he lias i good time. Whenever you have
a nything to do let your broiher see that
you depend on ills assistance, make him
feel lie is absolutely urci-.-sarv to you. or
In other words, haw him know you look
upon him as your right hand man.
Let your brother see you are interested
In bis personal appearance; help him to se
hat his clothes, admire hi:- cravats and
above al’ things see that his c.othes are
kept in order, buttons on, socks darned.
etc. All these little attentions will win a
boy’s heart and call forth his Jove for
such a sister.
Above all things don’t “nag” your
brother. Boys will say rude things now
and then, but a gentle reproof goes such a
long way. If you see him do anything
wrong or make some mistake In company
never under any circumstances reprove him
before any one; it humiliates hirtl and
makes him feel angry with both; public
reproof always has the worst effect, but re
prove or correct him gently when you are
alone; making him feel It is only your
deep interest in him that causes you to
speak.
A girl’s first duty to her brother is to
win his conlldence. Once yon gain that
your influence is beyond doubt assured.
When he sees you are willing to lend an
ear to his affairs he will make you the
recipient of all his joys and sorrows and
will come to you for advice and sympathy,
and of course his love goes with it and
you have it in your power to make just the
best brother and llnest man going.
I have a most beautiful Ulus’ration of a
sister’s love and Influence next door to
me—an every day lesson. A young girl os
eighteen and a brother sixteen. The tie of
love between them Is something beautiful
to behold. She is an attractive girl with
much attention, always surrounded by two
■ or three beaux, but her brother is never
| excluded. When they go out walking
‘T‘’r:ink” is with them and almost every
evening in the gloaming this brother and
sister can be seen walking alone and any
one meeting them would never suspect it
I were any other than a devoted and
I especially favored suitor. It is a common
! expression to hear the sister say "He Is
’ the sweetest thing in the world; no one
I can compare with him,’’ and the boy never
I conu s near his sister that an arm is not
' thrown around her or some token of en
| dearment given.
Now, girls, what are you going to do?
■ Road these lines (sent you with the heart
I prayer that they may do good) and eare
' h ssly throw them aside or ponder on them
I and turn over a new leaf? I trust the
latter. At any rate remember a good sister
<an and will make a good brother,
A C. K.
EFFECT OF THE WAR
ON CUBAN CUSTOMS
Since peace has been declared and the
Cuban colony here is discussing the rc
j turn home, there is a natural supposition
that among th" changes which must nec
essarily occur in all occupations and in
all classes, many social customs will be
altered on the return of the refugees to
Cuba.
Since many wealthy Cuban planters have
lost their entire fortunes, witti the young
women of that country the emergencies
of the times will be not unlike loose v.hu li
U,o southern girls were obliged to meet
after the civil war, when they found it.
necessary to embrace the ideas and follow
out th"‘example of a hostile peoplij; but
i the Cuban girls will imve th" encourage
i meut of the progress of friends, tn.-ir
I tmeriean sisters, who have work d against
I and conquered prejudice no less <bep than
I that which now persuades the t üban pa
i rents that their daughters must, like
Dresden figures, be carefully pr.iteeted
from contact with the rougher side ot
things.
H. live years before the civil war. one
of the "dainty darlings of the south.' th.-
idolized daughter of some wealthy southern
planter, Tiad been told that in a t' V, j"i s
she would be working side by sale witti
her brothers in some great northern city,
she would have ridiculed the M-a, and
soutli'-rn chivalry would have seolb'd at
the suggestion that those delicate hands
of hers would one day exchange the pad
time embroid' ring for lb<- wearying task
of ’'plain sewing” ns a means of support.
But both these apparently absur 1 sui
tion.s were often realized and siml.nr
cas.s will soon occur, when Cuban girls
appreciate the happiness of the Aim th an
women who have shown tliat t 11 > *• 1
cope with the difficulties of the world while
they retain th" r"< P"Ct of mankind.
The svslcm of edii'-ation for Cuban wo
men. like that of the southern girls of
the sixties, must i undergo <’t change
to fit them for the now conditions winch
will arise. The southern girl of ante-bel
lum days was iiistruete.l in household du
ties ami outdoor sports, which formed parts
O s 1,, ,- . lue: tion ns important as a knowl
edge of music and the brief course of lit
erature which was deemed necessary. \\ h< n
the war was over, however, th'so accom
plishments were, in many eaS'S, armi
n'.' nts, not merely useless, hut almost ob
stacles on the way to the praclieal. since
they recalled the luxuries which ought to
have been forgotten. The Cuban girl.- have
received a similar training; th< y are, many
of them, musicians -the class that enter
! a in but are not brilliant i" rformers: a
i number of them speak several languages
sufTieicntlr- well, with th" aid of tlwlr eyes,
to entertain a foreign ambassador: some
of them paint dainty Christmas presents,
but articles for which an artist would de
cline to remunerate them.
This system must bo changed, and. when
a practical foundation has been formed,
the higher education will be demanded
by Cuban women just as the. women of
the reconstruction sought and secured It.
Many years may b" spent before this Is
attained on the southern island, but it
cannot be as long a struggle as the Amer
ican women of the south underwent, for
the times are more progressive.
The Cuban girls who have made their
home in America since the beginning of
the war have enjoyed so much the little
freedom which has been permitted them
here, that they are not at ail eager to
return home, since they fear that the
social customs by which they were gov
erned before the war will, on their return
to Cuba, be restored in all their strict
| nct-'s.
I Miss America Ula. a Cuban beauty whoso
family ha,s lived in Atlanta for several
years, was approached on the subject re
cently and with an accent which, however
fascinating, she would willingly exchange
for the metallic pronunciation of her
American friends, she expressed her opin
ion.
"We shall certainly be allowed, on our
; return home, some of the privileges which
i have been given us here," she said. "When
’ I lived in Cuba 1 was never allowed to go
’ on the streets alont —-one of my parents or
I my governess always attended me; so you
I can understand my curiosity to see the
| young girls in America who r-quirc no com
i panion, ev< n when they freqin nt the busi
| ness parts of the city, for 1 had beard
' that suclh was the case. It never occurred
i tu me, however, that 1 should one day be
; permitted to go shopping alone; but my
■ parents, seeing this practice a matter of
> course among Atlanta girls, realized the
h irnilessne.ss of the custom, and I am now
one of its followers. When we return to
Cuba I shall probably find that a com
panion is not necessary to my daily prom
enades, and I shall be heartily glad of the
innovation.”
This young lady, like all the other Cuban
I girls, has never been out alone with any
• young man except her brother, even since
i she has been in Atlanta."! do not believe
I in this Cuban custom," she said; “I think
' that we are quite as worthy to be trusted
| with a young man escort as are the young
i women of America; but it is the custom,
i ami it must be observed.
"Doi think this will be changed? Never,”
I she said in an emphatic tone. "I do not
i "expect to go to the theater or elsewhere
! with only the escort of a young man.
until I am married.” Indeed, she seemed

quite shocked that such a thing should be ■
thought of, and earnestly denied it. A j
cynical listener expressed ills belief that ;
perhaps Miss I’la and her friends might
never become reconciled to the idea, but
that the younger generation. When the
American tide of immigration rolled in upon I
Cuba, would eagerly embrace this custom
of the stranger, and, like preaahers’ chil- ;
dren, be worse than all others.

A few days after the inquiry came "in i .

gentleman stating tliat he knew a Mr.

if 1 desired lie would find out for me if it
was my son, so 1 wrote him and ; ate the
names of the family and asked him to find
out it it v. 's my son; so he pi • .-<-:ite.l the

would have done me good to have sv n the
expression of Joy when told 1 was living.
On the 25th ot July my son I'tirne to see
me arid it was the bapprest meeting I ev< r
experienced. I can never do anything but
praise The Constitution and the kind pcoule
that wrote to me in regard to the matter
an.l also the dear editress that conducts
this page. On the 30th of July ! had all

Miss Hattie Hoback. Little River. Va.—l
have just finished reading the Woman’s
Kingdom and as it has been some time
since my last visit. I will venture again.
We are now living on our farm, which is
twenty miles from any- railroad, and It is
very lonely. I appreciate the dear Consti
tution more than ever now. It comes as a
welcome visitor to all of us every Thurs
day. I have noticed that some of the sis
ters .have asked for recipes for canning
corn and beans. Whw not dry them? 1
think both are very nice dried. String
beans and spread thinly on newspapers and
lay on the floor of a dry room is a nice way
to dry them. 'Boil corn on the cob till
nearly done and cut off and dry. Beans
should be soaked over night in warm wa
ter and well washed next morning before
cooking. Corn must be soaked a few hours
before cooking, but soaked in the water
that II is to be cooked in. Sweet potatoes
boiled until nearly good done and them
sliced and dried are very nice, too A good
recipe for wine is, to one gallon of fruit
mashed well, ad 1 one gallon of boiling
water and let stand over night; then strain
and sweeten to taste. But in bottles io
work. Keep them even full all the time,
so that the froth will work off. When
through working strain through a flannel
bag, sweeten to taste and bottle for use.

d ath by th' Great Redeemer, and the
< oi'a iim-nt pit-vision that whosoever will
n . ha ve everlasting life by resurrection.
. Our Savior poured <*ut His soul unto death.
He made His soul an offering for sin.
Isaiah 53. 12. 1°- .
As in Adam’s creation, the bringing to
"etlier of a a organism anil the breath of
life' i.routK’c'l •'• sentient b ing or soul, so
th" dissolution es these from any cause
pu's an <t'-d to sentient being—stopping
thoughts and feelings. The soul (sentient
h'lng) •'•cases, the body i< ton' s to dust,
v.liile th" spirit or bitath of life returns
to God. It returns t<- God in the sense
that it (the breath of life or spirit) is no
longer amenable to human control and can
never be reeovred except by ihvine power.
Recognizing thia fact, the Lord’s instructed
ones commit their hope of future life by
resurrection to God and to Christ, his now
exalted representative. Had God made no
provisions for man’s future life by a ran
som and promised resurrection, death
•would have been the end of all hope sos
humanity. (I. Cor. 15: 14, IS.)

Bill flFp’s Letter
The aftermath of war. The veterans and
their wives and many of their children re
member tho struggles, the humiliations and
the bitterness that followed us in the wind
up of our civil war. 1 will not speak of
tliat now. Let the dead past bury Its dead,
If it be possible. But 1 was ruminating
about what Is to become of this one—this
little on" tliat tias taken only a few months
to light, and to conquer a peace, but has so
chaiiged our national domain that it will
require years mid the st«'itfsnuinship
to adjust and control. Just, think of it—
Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the far-off
Philippines being .suddenly thrown on our
hands and all without expectation or de
sign. We have got the harness upon all
these horses, can w make the teams pull
the load "I wagons up hill without balking
an I li'id buck ilowii hill without wearing
out the breeching. 1 reckon w" can. tor
this nation has fine teamsters and plet t y
of them. It takes great occasions and Op
port unit ies to develop great men. Had It
ii.,; 1, en for thia war with Spain we woul I
never h ve heard of Dewey or Schley or
Sampson or Hobson, or of scores of others
who have made themselves famous and are
now class' d among trie heroic, spirits who
v ..,)t born to die. Generally tl)e after
maih is a f' -ist io the victors and a famine
to the vamiui- hed. but a.s to this one, “tho
< it\ of Sliushan is perplexed.” and all tho
world womb rs what will W" do with the
eiepli; nt. our greatest statesmen are not
in accord about the Philippines and tho
press partisan and non-partisan, are wide
apart’ in their advice. Mr. Carnegie has
written th" ablest articles against our ac
<l I.;-.II'.; those islands and John bherman
lias indors' 1 his sentiments. Mr. Patter
son of Hartford, has written in The Trav
i Ilers’ Record the ablest argument m favor
of it. Mr. McClure wants the earth and
the Monroe doctrine l.s now a dead thing,
wa hnone so poor as to do it ii-verencc.
Tie only quest,on is one of expedient).
As for Cuba and Porto Rico I believe that
everybody ha.s settled down in approval,
though w, aro still smiling at the length
of lime it luis taken to feed the starving
Aiid now comes the political altermn.'li.
I’lotting and counter-plotting for the pus,
~ . . , Alreadj the Question is
whose war was it. The revolution ot ho
h '1 its eppon< nts and they were called
lories. They wee loyal to the king and
their fitherhind. The war of IM2 had in
poll trial memies and so did the war with
M< xri o. Evi n so .great and good a. man aS
Daniel Webster opposed the latter and th"
wb.g party generally were against it. But
after it became a fact Webster was con
strained to fall into line and repeated th"
lat Colic motto: “IMy country, right or
wrong.” My friend, .Mark Hardin, tells a
good story about that war. Our eminent
jurist. Judge Tripp, of this county, made a
political speech at Carrollton .-end denoum
ed the Mexican war and all those demo
crats who brought It on. "Yes." said he,
"this cruel and unprovoked war has <-ost
us tho lives of lO.t'QO good men and ?50,000.-
000, and all We have got to show for it Is
kir.il, more land, a barren wilderness peo
pled with savages, wild hogs and rattle
snakes. Fellow citizens, the war with
Mexico was a sin against heaven, ft was
conceived lin sin and brought forth in in
iquity and al! for a political purpose. I
challenge any democrat to answer my ar
gument or give an excuse for this useless
ami costly war, this expenditure of blood
am! money."
• 'ld ’Squire Latham—Tom Latham—was
always ready to defend hi.s party. “My par
ty. right or wrong,” was liis motto. When
Judge Tripp closed and sat down, Tom
mounted the rostrum and without apology
began a furious tirade upon the judge.
Tom was a large, broad-shouldered, big
mouthed, volumiinous man, and pointing
irs big finger at Tripp, vehemently ex
e.aimed: '!• hat do you know about this
war or any other war? Whar is your en
sign. your scars or your crutches—T say,
whir? Whar was you when Washington
was crossin’ the Delaware and the mornin'
stars sang ’Yankee Doodle’ together—whar,
I say?" Trippe smiled and said. “I wasn’t
born, sir.l'lie dickens you wasn’t. No,
you didn’t want to be born while there was
any light gwine on. Whar was you, sir,
when Andy Jackson cut olj I’ackenham’s
head oft at New Orleans with a scythe
blade and stuck it on a fodder stack pole
and let it stay there until tho buzzards
peeked his eyes out, whar, .1 say? Why
didn't you git often that old whig bench
that you’ve been holdin' down so long and
volunteer under Jeff Davis and go to Mex
ico and serve your country and kill old
Scantj ana. that old, one-legged Mexican
cuss? And here you are talkin’ about our
kisin’ ten millions of men and a thousand
millions of dollars just like you was thar
and knowed ail about it. 'Land, land, more
land,’ you say ami it’s peopled with Injuns
and snakes and wild hogs and whang-a
doodles, and that’s what's the matter with
you and your party. You don’t want land,
but you want office and money and Sara
toga carpets and yalier watches and a
tine, carriage, with steps to shut up and let
down, and a little nigger standin’ on the
hind piatform to wait on you. That's
what you want." Ami izitliam blow, d
like a porpoise. Judge Tripp was a line
old aristocratic gentleman and dressed and
traveled in aristocratic style, and Latham
knew that the boys didn’t think any more
of him for it, and so they cheered him at
every jump, and when lie was through they

plates, fifteen maps and copies of pages of
old manuscripts and illustrations, study
helps, tabl 'S, concordance, subject index,
dictionary of proper names, indexed atlas
and all the modern data for a thorough
an.l satisfactory study of tho word. The
text is conformable to that of tho regul ir I
Oxford Bible, so well-known and valuable:
for the correctness of its translation in al!
respects.
