Mr.. Thimblefi Country.

The next morning Sweetest Susan was
awake early. She wanted very much to
turn over and go to sleep again, for her
eyes were heavy and her body was tired
But the moment she remembered the Won
derful events of the night before she sat
UP in bed and looked around. Drusilla was
still asleep and snoring very loudly, but
sweetest Susan jumped out of bed and shook
her by the shoulder
"Drusilla! Drusilla! wake up!" cried
Sweetest Susan. Drusilla stopped short in
her snoring and turned over with a groan
She kept her eyes closed and in moment
she would have been snoring again, but
Sweetest Susan continued to shake her and
called her until she squalled out:
who dat? What do you want? Oh,
Lordy!"

Riddles.

I'll give you three chances
To guess what I've seen.
The first a preacher,
In brown and in green;
The second a vase to hold raindrops that
fall:
The third lives on nothing
Now what are they all!
sYour first is so easy
could not but guess.
'Tis Jack-in-the-p pulpit
In brown and green dress
The seconds a pitcher plant
Wet with the dew;
I've seen plenty of them
And that's how 1 knew.
The third is the air plant.
You're wrong to declare
That it lives upon nothing;
Its foods in the air.
rAnd now come my riddles.
You've heard, don't doubt,
OF a sailor whose boat
On the sea floats about.
The seconds a builder
In wood and in clay.
The third is a spinner
Now euess-what are they?'
The nautilus sails in his boat on the sea,
And so 1 am certain the sailor is he.
The beaver builds houses of mud and Of
wood.
And that is your second. IT'S we'll under
stood
How spider spins traps for the poor silly
fly,
But not to be caught by your riddles am I!

Frank Ewtan, Dunlap. Tenn.-It is my impress
sion that much and lasting good has and will be
done to the young folks Of the southern states by
the noble talks of Aunt Susie through The Con-
stitution, and also by the privilege Of writing to
this department and discussing different ques-

the privilege and appreciate the kindness but
deem it our duty to add interest in every way we
can. Let each of us rally to the support OF the
grand old Constitution.
