To tarry a minute and she would. be

To enter the golden gate.

For the beautiful home above.
Call ~her not back for peaceful sheTs

Sleeping the righteous sleep ot the

Only awaiting to be resurrected
To be severed from the cold damp dust.
We loved her and would asked thee
Oh God, to stay thy hand,
In merey not to take this loved one
As yet, to thy heaaenly band.
Then sleep on Bert, thy beautiful sloeg

According to Prof, Alexander
Hoggs, state manager of public schools
in Texas, while the whole south has
last twenty years the increase in the
enrollment of school attendance has
been 130 per cent. In the same period
the value of the school property has in-
creased from $16,000,000 to $51,000,-
000, an addition of nearly $2,000,000
per year. Of all the, people in the}
south, white and black, one in five is]
in attendance at school during some
part of the year. ~This is the propor-
tion in Saxony, which excels all coun-
tries in Europe. It is estimated that)
cation in the South in the last eighteen
years one-fourth has bee for the colored

WHY *HE SHAVED.
Senator Bacon Did Not Want His Whisk-?
ers Pulled. "
There was a time when Senator Ba-
econ, of Georgia, wore an ornate and
lavish hirsute adornment like the fa-
mous whiskers of Mr. Peffer, and pic-
tures taken at the time he was presi-
dent of the Georgia senate so repre-
sent him. Now he contents himself
with a simple mustache. How he hap-
pened to shear his beard was told by
the senator himself recently.
oIt was,� he began, owhen the roller
skating craze broke out and invaded
the best families in the south. It
struck Macon, and somehow it found a
victim in me. Everybody was going to
the skating rink, and consequently I
went. I soon acquired a remarkable
degree of grace in gliding dreamily
over the floor to the pulsation of exhil-
arating waltz strains. and my company
was in great demand by ladies who
were still somewhat distrustful of
their own skill. .1 shall never forget.
I was acting as the guardian angel one
evening of a lady whose main support
I was in her feeble efforts to prevent a
collision with the floor, and we were
rather tremileusly gliding hither and
thither amone the erowd, when an in-
valid on skates approached us from the
opposite direction. [I saw at a glance
that the man had lost his compass, and
nothing. but a blind reliance in Prov:
dence was deferring his fall. That,
moment came when he crushed
against me. The collision disturbed
the center of gravity in my, fair com-
panion, whilé at the same time it has-
tened the (ownfall of the other.:: Be-
fore I knew what was up the man, in
order to save himself, grasped hold of
one side of my whiskers, while the ladv
fastened her grip on the other half, and
both held on for dear life while their
feet were deseribing geometrical fig-
ures on the slippery floor. Considera-
tions of gallantry prevented me from
turning on the wretched being who was
clinging to my beard like the proverb-
jal straw on one side and there I was
with two struggling fellow creatures
in the stress of despair dangling. on
each side of my Whiskers. That experi-
ence determined me to. sacrifice the
whiskers, and to circumscribe my. in-
dulgence in that line to a modest, un-
obtrusive mustache, which affords no
comfort to unskilled skaters.�"Wash-
