Z would allow their full name and address to be
i placed at the head of their communications.
q We only desire this where they solicit an ex-
y change of articles. 1t is impossible to keep
4 the addresses of all who write, and where it is
not particularly requested we do not keep
i them, except those desiring situations or
4 homes-they are always kept; but where it is
4 to exchange book or plants, etc., it is impos-
sibie to Go so. 1t would save much trouble if
those soliciting an exchange would give their
4 full address. We have letters now for
"Farmer's Daughter and Mrs. Gu" Dawson
MGa. will send on receipt of address. Others
#writing letters for these columns only with the
I profit and pleasure of others in view, can
I merely sign their initials.
q To the lady writing from Arkansas in re-
4 gard to good magazine for young lady, we
+ would suggest "Godeys Ladys' Book" and
s"Petersons Magazine both published in
] Philadelphia.
a REAL troubles are often times of great ser
4 vice to us, as they drive away imaginary ones.
E Heaven helps us to bear the real ones, and
\ then we are ashamed of the imaginary ones
which have troubled our waking hours. But
our experience is short lived, for we soon
l imagination again.
There are great many people like oysters
Rough and uninviting in appearance, and we
see nothing to desire. But open them-get
( access to what is within, and we find them
lucious and refreshing. Sometimes too they
contain pearl. Unfortunately often we take
! the trouble to open the oyster-but are salts
> fed to leave npODln as we find them
WE meet with many fragrant characters as
we pass through this world. 1t is scarcely
possible to define their goodness or note any
brilliancy in their sayings; yet in their daily
I life the very atmosphere is redolent with love
and goodness, and homes are frightened by
their deeds. Memory loves to fly back to the
homes that have been blessed by their
presence.
How much pleasure can be derived from the
small things of life. Take for instance bed
I of violets. Go out in the early morning and
senjoy this lovely little flower as you hunt for
/ it among the leaves; its perfume prevades
your whole being even before the flower is in
\ view; hid away in its modesty it waits to be
i searched for, but when found repays you with
I its beauty and fragrance for your trouble. Try
1 Ia violet bed il you wish to experience real
Mpleasure from one of the small things of life.
