ARE WE WHAT WE SEEM?
To the stranger, not less than polite
would we be,
For In being “well-bred" wo take pride:
But when there are none but the homo
folks to see,
Do we lay our good manners aside?
Al] who meet us outside see a charm in
our ways,
And a sweet disposition they find;
But do we keep so, through the com
monplace days—
In the private home life are we kind?
We are quickly obliging when a favor ia
asked.
By some one outside of our door;
But within our portals we are often un
masked,
As we count our home duties a bore.
It truly is strange that our sunshine
should fall
On hearts that for us have no room:
While on those who for our sakes would
sacrifice all.
We cast shadows as dark as the tomb.
The praise of the world may our vanity
please.
’Till we fancy we are what we seem;
But if we sow discord at home—God still
sees;
And our goodness is only a dream.
—IMOGENE MURRAY. ,
Mableton, Ga.
AN EXPLANATION.
Dear Children: 1 thought 1 would
have to buy a new waste basket this
week; my old one could not hold the
letters. Do you want me to tell you
whv there were so many? At ' 11. it wm
because they were so carelessly written
with very poor pencils. Some of them
wore right good letters, but neither the
printer or I could make them out. lou
must try and do better if you want to
get in cur column. I wish you could see
some of the nicely written letters I re
ceive, and you would be ashamed of the
careless ones. This column is intended
for your Improvement, and while all of
us cannot write pretty lirmds, we can all
write neatly', and 1 can tell very easi.y
when one has tried to do their best, and
1 appreciate those who send mo plainly
written, neat letters with pen and ink,
and I don't care for any other kind.

The entrance to the cave was about two

A Scribe, Oxford. Ark.—Dear Junior:
If you will admit me into your little
band of letter writers I will take for
n;y subject, "The Rower of Purpose."
Dear cousins, have you decided what
you are going to make of yourself? If
not. why not? If you were to meet a
ship t on the ocean, hall its captain and
ask hjin whither he is bound, and he '
should reply, “J don’t know just where ■
tho wind and waygy may take us.” you I
would say: “O. cargo of fools! Bound
fur destruction and d< ith.”
’The cause of the I’rcnch defeat Ju the
Franco-Prussian war was due to tho
lack of well-laid plans.
The continual failures In life are duo
to the lack of well-laid plans. So we
should decide what we are going to make
of ourselves, and press forward to ac
complish that one thing.
i Now. ymi may ask to what purpose
I would invite you. There is only one ■
i purpose and that is t«» gain character.
; Wo should strive to guin character ami
i not rupurailon. Reputation is what men ,
and women think of you. and character Is
what God and his angels know about >
; you.

No. 3.—Dear Junior: [ live in the country
8 miles from Cochran, i have never lived
in tlie city, nor don't think I would enjoy
it. 1 prefer living in tho country, where
we cat our own fun strolling In
the woods hunting wild flowers, musca

for who is it that doesn’t like a nice
chew of : we<igum. How many of t’he

note with a feeling of pride the great Im
provemmit of this page, but I am sorry
to say Hi it the ) aper owes nothing to me
for this improvement. There is so many
interesting and instructive letters upon its
pages. 1 think ’.V" all should try to write
something usc'.'il tn others, but as this
is my first letter I have ever written to a
taper you all will have to excuse me for
not writing on i subject. But will say
that I think v dl should strive to get

Ga Dear Junior: I take the subject
“Education.” The dignity of man or
woman consists in the elevation of their
minds, and in proportion he or she rises
in tho scale of being. When wo study
Hie mind and view it in its intellectual
and moral powers wo find that it is the
gfoatist gift of God. and it is more than
proiiabb that the great design of ra
iii.i'- work is- to furnish a school of in
struction to in I idle.' ■. 11 beings. There Is
more depending on the educated mind to
day tb::n .’Via befo' . The dignity as
well as the <iiu ability of our country
and nation depends upon tho culture of
the mind. A cultaf-.l mind commands
■ pe and admiration of the world.

hands up and sank to the floor dead.
