M'CAIN'S.

MCCAIN'S, July 9.-When a stone falls
into a still pond there is splash and a
rutlling of the surface and then the
circles begin to widen, and widen in
ever-enlarging waves until each shore
is Tapped by the gentle ripples. We
should all feel our importance as much
as the little stone, in this world, and
broaden, lengthen and cultivate the
talents God has given us, until our lives
and character mould and fashion the
lives and character of others who come
in contact with us. Then we throw
into perpetual motion all the circles and
ripples of the deep, still sea of human
life.
Again we come filling our places in
the widely-knOwn HERALD. Although
a little stones worth, tits always
pleasure to us to contribute our part.
Our little town is all hustle and hurry
now, for recratiOn days are about over,
and back to work we must go. School

September.

With the katy-dids in discordant
notes singing their lullaby of Katy-did
and Katy.didn't, occasionally joined by
the chirping of the lonely crickets, we
pull too the blind, letting them enjoy
their royal festivities, for we can't, and
bid the HERALD dreamy good night,
wishing it much success as the news
