Country Life.

Not what we would, bat what We mast,

Heaven is both more and less than JUS;
In making and in giving,
Swords c!eave to hands that sought ID

And laurcls miss the soldiers brow.

Have worn its stony highways,
Familiar With its loncliest streets
Its ways are never my ways,

And there hope my grave will be-

The vane is seaward blowing.

To where the tide is flowing;
Below they lie, their sails all furled,
The ships that 20 about the world.
Dearer that little country house,
Inland, with pines beside it;
Some peach trees, with unfruitful boughs,
A well with weeds to hide it.
No flowers or only such as rise
Self sown, poor things, which all despse.
Dear country home! Can forget
The least Of thy sweet tritles?
The window vines that Chamber yet,
Whose blooms the bee still rifles?
The roadside blackberries, growing ripe
And in the wood the Indian pipe?
Happy the man who tills his field,
Content with rustic labor:
Earth does to him her fullness yield,
Hap what may to his neighbor,
Well days, sound nights, oh. can there be
A life more rational and free?
Dear country life of child and man!
For both the best, the strongest,
That with the earliest race began,
And has outlived the longest.
Their cities persisted long ago;
Who the first farmers were we know.
Perhaps our Babels, too, will fall;
If SO, no lamentations,
For Mother Earth will shelter all,
Aud feed the unborn nations.
Yes, and the swords that menace now
Will then be beaten to the pillow.

Romantic Recognition.

Twas near the close of the day in the
spring of 1914. says the Lincoln I'LL
inois) Sentinel. The cold spring rain
was driving down a pitiless torrent,
when a young mother with her babe
clasped to her bosom knocked at the
door of Samuel MeAfee, who lives five
miles west of Waynesville. The unfor-
tunate wife and mother was given a
kindly welcome. She had been driven
away from home by husband crszed
by drink. Mr.. McAfee went with her
to her home to protect her from VIC
lence Gptil her husbamd became sober
and in his right mind. Time passed
on; the father atslast deserted his wife
and wandered to California.
The mother found homo with her
parents, who were citizens of this coun-
ty, and the babe grew to manhood, but
led life different to that of his father.
He became Methodist minister, and
for several years preached in this and
other counties of this State. He was
sent to Kansas by the conference. On
Friday night he spoke at the M. E.
church of this city on temperance. On
Sunday night he preached at Zion and
spoke of having lived near Waynes-
vile. Then it was that Lewis McAfee
remembered the rainy spring evening
the mother, the drunken father, and
recognized in Rev. Kline the babe
whose mother had sought and found
protection ut his fathers holse.
