LET Us GATHER GLADNEss.
DEAR EDITOR: One of your last chats on
"True Ideals" was just to the point. a warning
timely. indeed. aud ! enjoyed it most thor
oughly. :,
For it seems as if in these times that
greed prcdominates and money is king before
which its subjects do homage, even to perVert,
ing of Justice, the lowering of manhood, ana
loss of integrity.
It is true money brings many good things.
but there are many good things to be had LOT
the asking. A joy that is wholesome, quiet,
and satisfying. as simple, pretty hower' iresn
from natures hand; good act performed anu
kind word spoken, bringing glow OF pleas
ure to the soul, that wealth can never Duy.
Then, lot us gather all the gladness from the
hours as they pass. and make the best OF every
opportunity, knowing that we pass this way
but once. NJ. Elite Fuller.
SHOULD AULD ACQUAINTANCE BE FORGOT.
DEAR &C. FRIENDS: This afternoon, AS
was practicing over some quaint old songs
their words set me to rejecting on how nat
ural it is especially among new scenes, TO iet
entertaining acquaintance crowd older ana
dearer ones from our thoughts.
After my music teacher left, instead OF heed
ing her kindly admonition to practice, whiied
the time away dreaming of loved ones at home
and thinking how should like to go to St
Paul and meet my many pleasant friends mado
By way of the dear old NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
Being quite impossible for me to be present
at the Reunion, will not some of you who az.
tended write me letters, giving an account OF
the good time that you enjoyed? Twill answer
one aud all, and send pretty souvenir.
Now let me describe the place where l am
sojourning. Greenfield, picturesque town IN
southwest Missouri, situated at the foot OF the
Ozark Hills. 1t has seven churches, no Saloons
and lourishing GAR. Post.
One old soldier told me recently OF peculiar
feature connected with the numerous stones IN
the Usage Valley here that he discovered when
camping in the Summer of 1863. They each
have nine sharp points, and they all project
upward but one.
In spite of the brush and stones, people from
the North are settling up this country very
rapidly, and every train brings emigranfs look
ing for homes, and tourists in quest OF health
and pleasure.
The people hero with one accord give hearty
and generous welcome 10 all the Northerners'
nf In matt rather
peculiar in dress and manner they are very
kind hearted. and always insist that the trav-
eler shall partake of their hospitality.
So far during my stay / have not had the
pleasure of meeting any &C. friends, but u
any of you chance to come this way call, and
promise to be at home ia you.
Brother Harry Springer. why don't You
brighten up the columns with letter, and
tell US how you succeeded in getting friends to
Join our Order? Let US hear from others on
this subject.
Come, Flceta and Dora and Brother julius oil
