Nature and Flowers.

Silently pcrfuming the air, wheth-
er by the dusty wayside, resting on
the SUBMITS of the eternal hills,
adorning the quiet wales, or cluster
ing in some cottage garden, are the
dainty flowers, whose jeweled cups
rival the hues of monarch's gems.
There are seen the sapphire's delicate
tints, the garnet's rich cOlOring, the
slumbering fires of the topaz, the
royal amethyst, the opaPs glow, and
the purity Of the pearl. And here
and there are seen the fresh tints oil
the emerald, encircling the earth rs
with a coronet. The sapphire azure
CLEANS are reflected from Flora's
fairest treasures to the heavens above,
and their far away vastness are en-
bosomed in the snowy clouds. Jewels
of the purest hue. And as the day
king ascends the Eastern hills, his
splendor falls upon yOn dancing
fountain, whose waters leap TO catch
his golden rays, and sparkle like the
brightest of GolcOnda's diamonds.
But the beauty of the sparkling
drops is rivalled in the hush of the
eventide, when "the moon, the reaper
of the ripened stars, holds out her
silver sickle in the west" and the
white stars, like sanity lilies. bios
som in the infinite fields of blue.
But the iris-hued flowers, ana
dancing waters, and floating cionus'
and sparkling stars, and silver noon
are but a few of the jewels whicn nI
tpre treasures in her caskeI E''cn
dov and hour of our lives are as pearls
AMONG the gems of time; and as we
sa;, 1non the voyage of life, they
dr;ft away one by one into the mighty
uaoan of eternity. Moments and
Sours and days and months and years
make up the diadem of jewels which
oiId the brow of time. And as we
behold them they resolve themselves
into groups, whose hues betoken the
different seasons. In that fair group
of violet -hued hours, behold our
spring-time; and there, amid the
tints of FLIES and royal roses, behold
the years which jewel life's summer |
By their side are the years whose
hues of amethyst and gold proclaim
its autumn; and last, in times jew
eled crown, are the years which CLEAN

pearls, emblematical of the dreary |

EDITOR JOURNAL:-I tender to the
Second Freewill Baptist Church of
Kygerville, and people in that vicini-
w, the thanks and well wishes of the
destitute people of Howard county,
Tor $1,000 sent to me to be given to
the most needy. Let me say to them
that / will see that they get it, as 1
am acquainted with all parts of the
county. Now that the State Aid So
ciety is suspended, and the Govern
ment appropriation is all expended,
what they are all to do is more than
| am able to say-bnt this much /
can say, that the people have been
very generous toward us out in the dis
tant West, seeking to make a home for
ourselves and children. But trusting
that better times may come, the peo
pie so far as they got seed, or were
able to get it themselves, have sown
or planted, hoping to reap a rich
harvest; while Others anticipate de
vastation by the grasshoppers, as pa
pers are full of news about them
Matching in other States and devOur-
ing everything green, as they travel.
The weather is very warm here
now-the 7th being the warmest-
mercury stood at 95 degrees.
What wheat is sown looks very
well; there was but very little oats
sown. Some barley looks well.
Corn is being planted inst as fast as
possible. There will be more corn
planted this Spring than there was
last, from the fact, there was not
small grain to sow-hundreds OF
acres of land that was under cultiva-
tion last year, will lay implanted for
want of seed and grain to feed their
teams.
Yours truly,

Kindness in Trouble.

April a9th, 1875, was a day long
to be remembered by many in Gallia
county. especially in this locality, on
account of wind and fire. The fire
broke out in John Martindale's clear
ing, and the wind blowing a gale;
lire running almost with the speed of
horse, taking in its course Samuel
Smiths farm of 100 acres; sweeping
clear across the west end, making
a clean sweep of fences, and making
havoc among the timber, which was
30 or 40 acres Of the finest white
oak in the county-killing the ma
lority; doing great damage to the
growing wheat; burning about Is,
600 rails; leaving his crops exposed
to his stock; no enclosure TO conline
them but his barnyard Having a
long winter and about out of feed for
his stock, and his neighbors no bet
ter of, they could not help him in
that direction. Some good samari-
tan said; "Come, boys, let us go
and help Brother Smith" The
neighbers turned out to the number
of 60 or more, chopped and put into
rails some 1000. some in fence.
Brother Smith would have rendered
his heartfelt thanks and will ever
bear in mind that he owes those
kind friends debt of gratitude, and
will ever hold himself ready to re-
turn the same, fin his power so to do.
We here must say no tongue can tell
the comfort and consolation that this
act of kindness gives him; language
fails him 10 picture or express. We
must say in his behalf--God bless you
all. We feel we live in large
place. We think it was the largest
rail-making ever in the county. Per-
haps We must here, in justice to his
estimable daughters, praise them for
the way they made the inner man re
joice by the way they cooked the din
ner and supper for the hungry rail
maker. The table was furnished
with everything to eat that our plen-
tiful county abounds in, and in JUS
tice to the cooks we are compelled to
say it was gotten up in the very best
of order, which l think every one will
testify to. Young men, il you want
to make fortune by getting good
house keeper, | have said enough for
YOU to know where she can be found.

.Kick Him when He's Down"

When the sun of prosperity's shining,
And n mans growing rich every day !;
When In ease and comfort reclining,
And golden success crowns his way,
How friends will then flock about him !
But if Fortune should happen to
frowu
How quickly he'll get the ''cold shoul-
der"
And be ''kicked because he is down."
How kindly the world will smile on
When life with success abound!
How eOrdially-blandly- greet
As in pleasure he's riding around
But then let reverses O'ertake him,
And friends, both in country and
town,
Have not kind word with which TO
cheer him
But all kick him as soon rs he's down!
Let man get position or wealth,
(Matters not by intrigue or by fraud,
The world mods approving at him,
And his acts it will loudly applaud:
What though he may be Il great villain,
With the simple, the wise and the
clown,
While he's up he's "tip-top fellow
But they'll kick him if ever he goes
down.
When a man has plenty of "green-
backs"
And he's healthy and festive and gay,
He's counted "a bully good chum,"
then,
And the crowd approves all he may
say;
But just let him lose his treasures-,-
Perchance that his wealth man be
gone
He'll get TO be nobody quickly,
And be sure to be clicked when he's
down." NAG 40 ~
What's the use of being moral or hon
est,
Or strive 10 be upright and true,
For unless mans got "lOts of money"
The worlds hound to ''put him right
thrOughr'
They'll "go for him." certain and sure
ly-
From the jockey TO the priest in his
gowII--
And all will stand ready to .nub him,
And kick him because he is down :"
