The Cumberland plateau is full of

leisureIy investigation Of its secrets will
give an amount of instructive pleasure
not to be excelled by any other truly
rural section. Mounted on a good
horse, and with companion, the trip
may be extended over several untiring
weeks. Such an 'outing" will never be
forgotten, not only by the mere search
er for recreation, but by the observer
of the resources of new country.
Timber, grass, and corn, and fruit, and

We see a household broughtup well.
A mother who took alone the burden
of life when her husband laid it down,
without much property, out of her PEN
ury, by her planning and industry,
night and day, by her fullness of love,
by her fidelity, bring up her children;
and life has six men, all of whom are
like pillars in the temple of God. And
o, do not read to me the campaigns of
Caesar; tell me nothing about Napoleon's
wonderful exploits; I tell you, that as
God and angels look down upon the
silent history of that woman's admin
istration, and upon those men-building
processes which went on in her heart
and mind through a score of years,
nothing external, no outward develop
ment of kingdoms, no empire buildings
can compare with what she has done.
Nothing can compare in beauty, and
wonder, and admirableness, and divini
ty itself, to the silent work in obscure
dwellings of faithful women, bringing
their children to honor, and virtue anG
piety. I tell you, the inside is larger
than the outside. The loom is more
than the fabric. The thinker is more
than the thought. The builder is more

what do you mean?" But Harry,
who was thoroughly absorbed in his
calculations, went on talking to him.

"Why, yes; if ten glasses will make
a man all drunk. then one glass will
make him one.tenth drunk; and if one
is beastly drunk, then the other must
be one-tenth beastly drunk, and
"Tbere, there" said the father, biting
his lips to hide the smile that would
come, 81 guess that is enough arithme,

Butas Harry went on with his sums
his remarks started a tram of Thoughts

he said to himself:
If Johnston had not taken the frs
glass, he could not have gone on to thu
tenth; and, on the whole, it is safe fol
myself, and best as an example to my

Harry Wilson had just got new

mental arithmetic for some time, but
now that he had a book and q slate of

turn into sums and calculations.

a sum in division, when he heard his
