rented the little mill on Trailer's
creek until the new year, and after
giving it little dressing, he says he
can accommodate all who may come,
when the water rises a little.
The farmers have been busily en-
gagged gathering corn this week, and
being notified Of the near approach of

a few days and lay in a supply OF
wood.

Whether any Of this party ever set
tie in McMinnvilleo Warren county
or not, they will carry the news of
our kind treatment of them to their
homes, and good results will flow to
us therefrOm at sometime in the
future. We need an immigration of
energetic, industrious, steady-going
farmers who can take hold of our
lands in small tracts and bring them
up to higher state of production,
and these visitors are representatives
of that class. While all who locate
in Tennessee are likely to find that
they have something to learn about
farming, yet five can get them here
in sufficient numbers they will form
an important element in developing
the resources Of our State, and they
can and will pull our farmers out of
some of the ruts they have been trav-
cling ever since the days when our
forefathers began to reclaim our fer
tile lands from the trackless wilder
ness. We have room for hundreds of
them. Let them come, and give
them. all a hearty glad-to-see-you
shake of the hand.

A New Leaf.

Harry Wilde says he has turned
over a new leaf" His teacher thinks he
has and his mother knows he has, "The
boys" Harry's old companions, laugh a
little, and say, Just wait awhile and
you'll see T.
What has Harry done?
He has smoked his last cigarette he
has bought his last sensational story
paper he has taken hold of his school
work in earnest he has turned his back
on the fast boys, and says to them in
manly weY, when they want him to
join then u some of their old-time wicked
Jun, c,Nt &c into that with you,
boys.
At home he is different boy. There
is no more teasing to spend his evenings
on the street; no more slamming of doors
when he is not allowed to have his own
way no more sour looks and tagging
footsteps when required to obey.
Just this A looking glass was held up
before Harry's eyes; in it he saw him
self a selfish, conceited, wilful boy, on
the road to ruin. The sight startled him,
as well it might. He did not shut his
eyes, as he might have done, but he
looked long enough to see that he was
getting to bear the likeness of one of
Satan's boys, and he said, This won t
do; 1 must be one of Gods boys
Harry soon found that he could not
change one of his evil ways, so he was
obliged to let God make the change IN
him and it is indeed great change.
Harry has chosen "the good part. p"

On the Other Side.

"Who took him on the other side?"
A pair of soft blue eyes, foil of tender
ness and tears, looked up into mine-sor-
row lay upon the lips that questioned
me.
"On the other sidel What do you
mean, my darling" and l looked won
deringly at the child.
Baby, l mean" The little ones
voice trembled. I" He was SO small and
weak, and had to go alone. Who took
him on the other side p
ANGELS" 1 answered, as steadily as 1
could speak for the child's question
moved me deeply Loving angels, who
took him up tenderly and laid his head
softly on their bosoms, and sang to him
sweeter songs than he had ever heard in
his world"
"But every one will be strange to
him. I am afraid that he will be griev-
ed for mother and me-"
No, dear. The Saviour, who was
once baby in this world, is there; and
the angels who are nearest to Him take
all the little children who leave our side
and love and care for them Just as if
they were their own When baby passed
through to the other side, one of the
angels held him by the hand all the way !;
and when he saw the beauty of the new
world into which he had entered, his lit
tie heart was full of gladness."
You are sure of that?' The grief
had almost faded out of the child's coun-
tenance.
Yes, my dear, very sure. The Lord,
who tehderly loves little children, who
took them in His arms and blessed them
when He was on earth, who said that
the angels do always behold the face of
my Father, is more careful of the babies
that go to Him than the tenderest moth
er could possibly be-
I'm SO glad" said the child. "And
it makes me feel so much better. Dear
baby, l didn't know who would take him
on the other side"

The Secret.

We have secret just we three
The robin, and l, and the sweet cherry tree
The bird told the tree and the tree old me,
And nobody knows it but Just us three.
But of course, the robin knows it best,
Because he built the--I shan't tell the rest.
And laid the four ittle-sOmethingS in it;
1 am afraid 1 shall tell it every minute.
But if the tree and the robin don't peep,
I'll try my best the secret to keep;
Though 1 know when the little birds fly about
Then the whole secret will be out.

After Rob was gone Hettie sat down
on the back doorstep to cool herself off
and think minute. Rob was not a
Christian she had been praying for him,
and here perhaps it was her own cross
words and way that were keeping him
back.
The next evening as she was starting
for church, she fingered in the hall mo-
ment when Rob was putting on his over
coat preparatory to going, she did not
know where, for it was not his habit to
attend this meeting.

you would go to the young peoples meet

Something that helped you. I'm sure if
there IS anything, I'd like to find it too.

Things that Last.

] ct us look at those things that will
never wear out.
I have often heard poor blind girl
sing, Kind words will never die ]"
All we believe that these are among the
things that twill never wear out" And
we are told in Gods own book to be
=" kind one to another, tender hearted,
forgiving one another"
1.-THE word Of the Lord will never
wear out Though the grass shall wither,
and the flowers fall away, the word Of
the Lord endureth forever:"- Il Peter
/: "a, 25)
The life of the righteous will never
wear out. They will live in the world
to come as long as God shall live; but
the death Of the wicked will last forever
The joys of the kingdom of heaven
will never wear out The people of this
world soon die, but the enioyments of
that world will never end.
The crown of glory will never wear
out. The crown of the winner in the
Olympic games soon faded the crowns
of kings all wear out but the crown o.
glory will never fade away. q Peter
Y. a..
The new song will never wear out.
We hear sometimes that some Of our tunes
are worn threadbare, but that will never
be said OF the new song.
Which will you choose, the lasting, or
that which was es away p The things
Of time, or eternity? VIII you choose
wealth, honor, fame or the joys Of heaven,
eternal life, the crown Of glory, aud the
new song
May God enable us to take wise
choice, and with Joshua may we choose
to serve the Lord Christian Treasury.
