There is more hope for a thousand young fool than for one old fool ” A third prrty speaker, Rev.

If the story told rn the suit brought by the administrator ot the Lawson estate against Judge Jarnos K.

A well-known public man says he had a dream about Congress man Breckinridge the other night. The defendant in the Pollard scan del was about to embark from New’ York for Europe. A band was at the dock, with many admirers gathered to see him off. As Breck enridge went on board the vessel the band very appropriately struck up in lively time: “The Girl 1 Left Behind Me.” As the vessel cast off it became known for the first time that the congressman’s objective point was England, where upon the band played in most solemn, prayerful tones, God Save the Queen.

On her mansion s stately walls; On the chill kind echoing street Where the lights aud shadows meet— There the lady 's voice was heard. As the breath of Night was stirred With that music, floating free; “ Rook of Ages, cleft for me." Wandering, homeless, through the night, Praying for the morning light— Pale and haggard, wan and weak, With the death-hue on her cheek, Went a woman—one whose life, Had been wrecked in sin and strife; One of wham, in one far land Wrote the Master on the sand! And her soul, by Sorrow wrung, Heard the lady as she sung: •* Rock of Ages, cleft for me. Let me hide myself in thee!" On the marble steps she knelt. And her soul that Instant felt Mercy's healing touch as there, Quivering. meveAier lips in prayer! And the God she had forgot Smiled upon her lonely lot— Heard her as she murmured oft. With an accent sweet and soft: •* Rock of Ages, cleft for me. Let me hide myself in thee!” Little knew the lady fair. As she sang so sweetly there, T'aat her voice had reached a soul Which had lived In sin's control! Little knew, when she was done, That a lost and erring one Heard her as she breathed that strain And returned to God again! —Frank L. Stanton, in Atlanta Constitution And We’ll Bo hiwppy Then.

And scatter the infection with the sunshine of a smile.

One county claims four hundred and fifty-seven such wells. According to the Electrical Engineer there are good reasons for believing that the friction of rain is the real cause of lightning. FRUIT BUDS. Green currants make good sauce or pies. Raspberry jam has no superior among the sauces. Tut: currant is a native of the north, perhaps of Holland. Do not have the currants too ripe when making jelly; but they must not be green. In making raspberry jelly, add con siderable currant juice; the flavor will not be impaired. A currant bush will grow almost anywhere, and give good returns for even indifferent care. Raspberries are best when plucked, freeh and ripe, from the bushes and immediately nsed —and so are other berries.—Good Housekeeping. POINTERS.

And it is lived in by a and his wife, who were resolve when they built it that it should 1 as perfect as the best artists e ou u make it, according to the New York Tribune. So they proceeded to Eu rope, and in London they consulted with one William Morris, who n ro . vided them with decorations ad'lih. itum—wall papers, furniture and stained glass and the like. The wanted, too, some tapestries. ? Mr. Morris’ answer to their re quest was characteristic and ex tremely interesting, as showin? how the leading English decorate? of the dav carries on his work, "f will design the tapestries for you with pleasure,” he said, “but I i not promise or bind myself [ n &DT w»y a§ loathe delivery of tie pieces I wait until mood me before I can sketch tfiem out When the mood comes (and t tell you when that will be, it m av be six months, it may be a year/l'U put the work through so fur as I am concerned, and then you wifi hav? to allow a few months for the execu tion.” They accepted this autocratic ar rangement and sat down in their new house to wait for the tapestries to oome.

Nearly two years had elapsed since their visit to London, and the tapestries wei» not forthcoming. But they bad faith in Morris and never said a word.

An Austrian Project feg Establishing a Colony in East Africa. It is stated by the Manchester (England) Guardian that negotia tions are still proceeding for the establishment of the “free land" colony in East Africa, where it is intended to make an attempt, on a scale never before contemplated, to carry out the idea of a socialistic community. It is in Austria that the idea originated, and the district selected for the experiment is Lyki pfia, near Mount Kenia, in the Brit ish sphere of influence. Representa tions have been made to the British foreign office and an offer to pur chase a large tract of country, on the condition that while the commu nity shall be subject to any general laws which the British government may make, they shall have absolute freedom to regulate their internal affairs on a socialistic basis. Theex periments made in America and else where have failed, it is said, because they were tried on too small a stage and on too small a scale, and the highest hopes are entertained that, remote from the bad example o' society as at present organized, a.u with ample elbow room for develop ment, the new community will show to t&e world what may be done by men and women devoted to the so cialistic ideal. The British govern ment is averse to giving absolute rights of ownership over the lat£ a tract of land in question, but ie organizers of the new movement are apparently very much iu earnee • They have secured a leader of the ex pedition to the new promised an in the person of Herr Deuhardt, w is well known on the., east coas Africa, and part of the equipine l ' of the new community is to Maxim gun and a supply of rd vS> EUGENIE AND CARNOT.
