JUST BE GLAD.
Oh, heart of mine, we shouldn't
V/orry so.
What we've missed of calm we couldn’t
Have, you know!
What we’ve met of stormy pain
And of sorrow's driving pain
We can better meet again,
If it blow.
For we know not every morrow
Can be sad;
So. forgetting all the sorrow
W. have had.
T.'t ns fold away our fears.
• And put by out tears.
And. through all the coming years.
Just be glad.
-JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY.

those who have them in abundance ever
enjoy them as we do who have only a

Possession often causes one to feel less

livt red tn the Methodist Episcopal church
by Mr. Browne, a. lawyer from Mobile,
Ala., an old confederate soldier. The
pulpit, altar and organ were beautifully
decorated with paints, ferns, cedar and
lovely flowers. The music was excellent.
Quantities of wreaths and flowers were
placed on the graves of loved ones and

A. Deß., Mobile, Ala., 239 Springhill
a venue.—Since household remedies and
receipts have become distasteful to some
of us, suppose I entertain you a while
about some of our public, institutions.
This week we held our :'.nuual lawn party
on the beautiful grounds at the industrial
garden—if was a feast of nations—
eaeli booth representing some coun
try. The fair girls dressed in becom
ing ami ,-ij lupriate costumes, presiding
at the lab;, a. made me proud to call my
self a southern woman.
Seven years ago a brother lived in an
humble hut on Lafayette street. While in
! the city lie came across three ragged or
! phan boys and took them home, iattle
! did he dream he would live to see the
day wlu-n an elegant three-story stone
i structure, with modern appliances, would
■ lift its head to the sky and stand as a.
I monument of man's unselfish love for his
I brother, an undying devotion to the cause
( he had crossed the seas to espouse. One
| hundred brass bedsteads dressed in sunny
! white for the homeless little ones cast
■ upon tite charity of others. Seventy-six
healthy, happy boys, some only 5 years
' old. bend over their books till noon. An
I hour for their substantial dinner and rec
-1 reation, then they' scatter, some to the
I farm, others to the dairy, shoeshop and
j t ii oring ■ . t tblishment, lilting themselves
j to become honest, independent citizens. To
: the eternal credit of Mobile let it be said
! Hie Protestants as well as Catholics and
I Jews have largely contributed in giving
! to our city more charitable Institutions
i than any place of its size in the union
can boast of.
' Sisters, when inclined to dissatisfaction,
I 1 wish you could join me when I visit
: tin charity hospital and behold sin and
1 suffering in Its worst form. The poor out
| east is as tenderly eared for as the mil-
I liomtire's wile at a fashionable infirmary.
Man,-, reforms and homes are provided
I sot their offsprings, neatness and order
i jti vai ex i r."where. Sunshine and flow
i ers cheer their broken hearts and remind
i them that God is the common father of
all. The Magill institute, a gift to toe
i city by the Magill brothers, is a grand
■ d south rn home. AVhen [ enter'd its
j marble halls I could see in fancy fa r
IFI ore tic i Maybiick and hear her merry
; laugh. Even the flowers seemed to dro > >
■ tin ir beady and the very stories cry out
I ap,.aiust the injustice done one of the
i proudest daughters of our sunny land and
i [ wondered was it f ile or pride that drove
! h' r bark a'-ross Hu? ocean to be wrecked
j in an English prison, for sisters; this was
U r girlhood home, tite roof that covered
; le i- infant head. The m-w Infirmary will
I"- completed in June.
