Trust and be True. BY A. J. H. DUGANNE. Look in your brother's eye man ! And bid him read your own: One-half the strife of human life Js born from guile al<»»e! Deceit creates full half our hates. And half our love it slays; Look in each other's eyes, men ! And meet each other's gaze I Pardon your brother's faults, men ! And ask that he forgive; If human sin no mercy win.

At a convention of the "Equal Rights League." held in Philadelphia on Tues Tuesday - day Tuesday last, . "Hon. Henry M. Turner of Georgia," pul in an appearance. Near end of his address, he apologized for some ot Kis remarks on the ground"that be had seen things that, few men had seen.
