Agnes ceased to seek my compan feaship, and mever confided to me amy of her hopes or ambitions, but led a care-free sort of existence, often being away for hours at a time with parties of young friends, “Finally a rumer came to my ears that she was engaged to a young artist whe had been sketching in the neigh borhood during the summer.

No sunlight came through the small, curtainless window; mne food im the cupboard; mno carpet om the floor, ounly the most abject poverty seem on every hand; there, on a bed in one corner of the room lay the pale, emaciated form of what had once been my lovely sis ter—in her arms a tiny babe, slowly but surely breathing its little life away. “As I sat by her, after the first glad momentis of reunion, she seemed to lis ten anxiously to every footfall which came up the stairs. 1 inquired for her husband, but scarcely had the words passed my lips, when stumbling, un steady footsteps were heard and a hand fumbled for the latch. Looking up 1 saw the bloated, sodden face of him who had promised to love and protect the frail being who now shuddered at sight of him. But why dwell on the pitiful scene, “Only too soon had she found her idel only clay. The rumor had proven true and he had drunk more and more, steadily losing respect and position, dragging Yer down to that feariul jevel of a drunkard’s wife. In a few days both she and ber baby girl were cold and still in death; we buried them in our old family burying ground amd since have ceased to speak of her whom we really loved so well, because of the pain it gives us.” . Aunt Abbie was crying softly as she | ceased speaking, and I crept away to be alone, resolving that if want of self control would lead to words and acts which could cause so much remorse ang so many bitter tears oi repontance, henceforth, with God's help, I would be stronger and gain the mastery over | self. remembering that “he who con que-s self is greater than he who takes ! a city.”—Exchange. A UNIQUE NEGRO COLONY. | - A Prosperous Alubama Settlement Run l by Former Slaves. Down im Alabama, net far from the 1(‘|Ly of Birmingham, is probably the | mest unique negro colony to be found | in the South. Its postoftice address is | Vance. The colony is settled on the iplantstiou of Marion Banks, a slave | owner of old days who left his land to | hie negroes whem he died. There were iek\'en heads of families among the | negroes at the time, and each got a | farm of 209 acres, but they have pre | ferred to live together in community, working together amnd helping each | other when it was necessary. The sei | tlement has been a prosperous one, and | is now self-supporting, and has ever | 300 members, nearly all of the pure Af rican type. But what the negroes want more than anything else are better | school facilities, for they are beginning !to appreciate the fact that emnly with | education can they “keep up with the | procession,” and they are now going i!o work to add the necessary school, Iand thus secure educational advance . ment as well as material prosperity, ! There are dozens of negro settlements | in the South, but this is perhaps the only which has been thoroughly snec cessful without the advice, assistance lor guidance of white men, and where \ the principle of co-operation, believed | to be so difficult in the negro, has been | carried out thoroughly. | ‘; G ————— ! Sharps and Flats. | The organizers of the latest “miss ing word” fraund have got (wenty-iwo ! months “with hard laber.” They had been carrying cn the business in one form or another since 1592 to the | tune of £360 a week, according to their | ewn account. When they come out they will, of course, start again, having had | time to mature a mew and {empting | scheme.

The !supply of dupes ir not a jot diminish led by any amount of exposure, and so ‘long as there are dupes there will be | rogues. No one need pity the victims {of this or any eimilar frawnds.
