Good Advice.

The following from an exchange is
particularly timely just now and the
advice therein given is commended as
worthy of all acceptation and fit TO be
acted upon: Don't let politics cause
you to fall out with your friend and
neighbor. Don't let it interfere with
your business to such an extent that it
causes you to be partisan in your deal
ings. Keep ever in mind the fact that
above all you and your neighbor, who
may differ politically, are citizens of
the one same glorious country, and that
he may be as sincere in his opinions as
you are in yours. Don't think that
your party holds all that is good and
true, and that all others contain only
evil. 1t is perfectly proper and, indeed
commendable, that you should take
sufficient interest in political questions
to inform yourself thoroughly concern
ing them; and having formed your
views, it is your right and duty as a
good citizen to vote your sentiments
but do not forget to accord to Others
the same right you claim for yourself. "

THE PRODIGAL DAUGHTER

To the home of his father returning,
The Prodig.l weary and worn,
Is greeted with joy and thanksgiving,
As when on his first natal morn;
A robe" and "ring" are his portion,
The servants as suppliants bow.
He is clad in fine linen and purple,
In return for the penitent vow.
But ah for the Prodigal Daughter,
Who has wandered away from home
Her feet must still press the dark valley
And through the wild wilderness roam
Alone Oh the bleak, barren Mountains
The mountains so dreary and cold
No hand is Outretched in fond pity,
TO welcome her back to the fold
But thanks to the Shepherd, whose mercy
Still follows His sheep, though astray
The weakest and cen the fOrsaken,
He bears in His bosom away;
And in the bright mansions of glory,
Which is the blood Of His sacrifice won
There is room for the Prodigal Daughter
AS we'll as the Prodigal Son.

There IS found in every State of the
Union little insect that used to be
god. His history is wonderful ac-
count ofups and downs. You would
never guess from his personal appear
ance that he was worshipped once by
human beings, for he is very plain and
modest looking. He goes about his
daily toll in the most cheerful and
matter -of-fact way, seemingly more in :
terested IN rearing heirs than in study
ing ancestors He recks not that his
name was once Sacred Scarabacus of
the Egyptians. To-day he is plain Mr..
Tumble Bug, at your service.
But the tumble bug is of great in
terest IN himself, leaving out all men
ton of his history. This is an account
Of the peculiar manner in which the
Matching of the egg is provided. After
being laid 1t IS Immediately rolled up
in ball Of mud and manure, about
the size Of big marble. When the
ball is thoroughly dried Mr.. and Mrs.
tumble Bug start 1t rolling, in search
LOT some convenient place in which to
bury it. This place may not be found
for some yards, and the ingenuity dis
played IN "navigating" it over tha,
distance is far greater than that shown
by some human beings in their chosen
business.
In the first place, the ball is round.
This, Of course, is the best form for
rolling. But even then the slightest
inequality of the ground, or even a
blade of grass, would present a serious
obstacle. OF course, if the tumble bug
were as big as mouse he could carry
the ball in his mouth; if he were adap-
ted for pushing, he could move it in
that way; but unfortunately he is Meth
er. In solving the problem in spite Of
SO many difficulties he illustrates the
old saying that there is more than one
way of killing a cat.

FretfuIneSS.

The cancer which ruins and disin-
tegrates many home is nothing more
or less than fretful temper. 1t is not
cruelty, nor indifference, but peevish-
ness. 1t is the multiplication OF a
thousand needless rules and irritable
injunctions. 1t is the inability to praise
and the readiness to blame. 1t is the
disposition to ignore a virtue, but
never forget fault. The carelessness
of servant or the thoughtlessness Of a
child is permitted to cloud the bright
ness of day filled with the benef-
cence of God. A single dish upon a
table underdone or overlooked in
verts all the wine Of life into vinegar.

DIGGING A NEST.

After the ball has fairly started the
bugs frequently leave it, running
around without apparent reason. They
are, however, searching for good
place of deposit The hole in which
it finally rests is several inches and
often a foot or more in depth, and in
order that the bugs may be able to ex-
cavate it the ''digging' must be good.
When the site is once chosen queer
method of making the hole is resorted
to. The way of rolling the ball is
commonplace compared to it. You
would naturally think that the bugs
would first dig the hole and then push
the ball into it. No such thing. They
quite reverse this process. One Of the
bugs gets under the ball and digs with
his hind legs, throwing the dirt out
around the edges. As he gets lower
the ball sinks with him, and when the
hole is deep enough he digs his way
around the bail, which has followed
him all the way, and then pushes up
through the loose dirt to the surface.
What he does for fresh air during this
process is something that no man can
find out.
When the egg matches in its subter-
ranean abode the larvae feed on the
material Of their envelope. In course
of time they surround themselves with
the same material, Cemented together
wiki a gelatlnous substance exuded
/ rom their bodies, and laler emerge as
perfect insects. The ancient Romans
esteemed the larvae of the tumble bug
as a great delicacy. They were eaten
afte, being fried to a delicate brown.
Modern epicures have taken to snails.

MRS. T. TAKES A TUMBLE.

The method is this. Mrs. Tumble
Bug climbs up on top of the bail, and
gets good and ready to move toward
the front edge, 50 as to start it going.
Mr.. +. stands on his head behind
with front feet on the ground, while
The the hind feet and the tip ofthe alb
domtn are against the ball. When all
is ready Mr.. T. gives the signal (sup-
posedly,) Mrs. I. gives a lurch for
ward, aud 10! they're off Mrs. T..
usually has very bad luck Immediately
after the start, for almost invariably
she is carried to the ground, AMI the
bail rolls over her. But she is very
good natured about it. She doesn' t
get cross, or refuse to play any more.
She just climbs out from under, shakes
the dust ont of her skirts, mounts the
ball again and is ready for another
start
If a down grade is encountered, the
work is SO much the easier, although
bugs and ball will frequently land in
a heap at the bottom. But when an
up grade or large obstacle intervenes
the trouble is very great. In such a
case tumble bugs will do one or two
things. They will either desert the ball
or go in search of help. In the former
case another family will frequently
happen along, and take charge of af-
fairs, just as if the ball were their own.
In the latter case the neighbors always
turn out, If there are any such.
/ If YOU handle tumble bugs while
they are at work they remain very
quiet until you are through, and then
they resume rolling the ball. Nothing
seems to disturb them.

BACK FROM RICHMOND.
Col. R. M. Knox Talks to Graphic Reporter About the Great
 Reunion.

Col. R. NJ. Knox, one of the dele. gates of J. Ed. Murray Camp to the reunion of the Confederate Veterans recently held in Richmond, was seen yesterday afternoon by a GRAPHIC reporter. The Colonel waxed en- thuslastie over the trip and stay in the Confederate capital.
 ''Yes sir" he said "we were treat ed royalty. Just as one would ex- pect Virginians to treat southerners at all times"
 What was the most important measure disseussed?" the reporter asked
 'The Battle Abbey, of course, Charles Broadway Rouse will make his donation $500,0O0, before he stops. Nothing definite was done in regard to the proposition. It will be settled at the next reunion which will be held in Nashville. Then the laying of the cornerstone of the Davis mon- ument was great thing" ;"
 You didn't return as soon as the reunion was over?"
 No. Trulock and 1 went down to Norfolk and took a turn with the young bloods at Old Point. Then we went to Cobb's Island fishing"
 'With what luck, Colonel?"
 "Only fair. But the day after we left one man caught three hundred pounds of fish. ,"
 The fish stories were just starting when the Colone's carriage came for him and he left saying something as he departed about a shark measur- ing seven feet.
