FARM, HOME AND GARDEN.
GROWTH.

How would grow; Not like the vine,
Though beautiful and full OF grace,
Close clinging 10 its resting place,
Where leaf and blossom INTERVENE
For tendrils break when winds are high;
The best supports, in time, will fail,
And what can weak, vine strength avail
When bruised and torn on earth lie:
But lie the tree, oh tall and fair,
With roots deep reaching through the ground,
With branches spreading far around,
Drawing all good from earth and air.
Drawing all good that | may give
of nv abundance friendly aid
To al no seek my pleasant shade,
Or In nay screening branches live;
That when this term OF lite is past,
And IN severed from The ground.
NV growth my all so firm be found
That much OF good will life outlast.

Curious Old Law.

There are q number of curious old
laws still in existence In Missouri, one
of which in particular will give the pro-
hlhltionists pain, writes a Jefferson City
correspondent. In the early part of the
Mexican war, Absolem Huges. OF Gala
way county, was wounded by a cannon
ball at the battle of Sacramento. He
was struck below the knees and had both
legs broken. The general assembly
which convened in lS+9 passed q special
law granting him the privilege of keep
ing dram shop at Cedar City, Galloway
county, during his life, without being
subject to any license. This was passed
as a recognition of his surface. Mr..
Hughes at once opened saloon and has
never yet closed it He Is now an old
man, but is not as badly crippled as one
might expect, considering the terrible
wound he received. The Dowding law
does not interfere with his special privi-
lege. Although he has been running &
saloon in Cedar City for over thirty-seven
years, few people outside of his neigh
borhood know that he is exempt from
paying licens
