81 Don't Fritter."

From the Sunday-School Times.l
Not long ago l escorted two bright
young women to New York; of course
they wanted to do some shopping.
Coming from a small town, it was
perfectly natural that the wonder.
full reductions" and great bar
gains" should fascinate them.
Look at that lovely lace, Mamie.
Reduced from forty-five cents to
twenty-five! / must get some of it. >"
"Do you need it, Netty?"
mo, not now; but it is so cheap.
Don't you want to come in and buy
some tOo?"
mo, was the quiet reply; II don't
fritter." So it came to pass that
jewelry glittered, and ribbon flut-
tered, and dainty gloves and shoes
tempted her in vain. To each and
every appeal she answered, IL don't
fritter."
At length she found pattern of
wash silk that exactly suited her,
and she bought it. Also another
dress pattern of crepe de chine, and
some very nice gloves which she
needed. That was absolutely all she
bought; but her dresses and gloves
were worth what she paid, were eX-
actly what she needed and would do
her good service.
Netty gathered upa miscellaneous
assortment of odds and ends-fancy
pins, so dear to the girlish heart of
to-day; cheap handkerchiefs; yards
of reduced ribbons" which she did
not need gloves, dear at any price /;
little pieces of china that struck her
fancy, and would be pretty in her
room. Before she realized it, hel
money was all gone, and she had
only those trifles to show for it..
And | did need a dress so much

the last evening of our stay. How
did you make your money hold out?'
Again the quaint remark, IL DOM

The word remained in my mind
1t had an odd sound. looked it up
"Fritter: TO reduce to nothing by
taking away a little at time" Sc
in other things, too, more precious.
Time-how foolishly we spend it!
A few minutes here, an hour or two
there, a week or month somewhere
else. Before we realize the years are
gone and life has reached its utmost
limit, and we look back over it t
feel that we have frittered it away.
Our good influences over the
mind and character of others, how
carelessly we do things that lesser
it, little by little, over those we love
At last, too late, we awaken to the
fact that we have lost all hold upor
them. We have frittered away oul
influence.
Our talent-the ability God has Civ
en- us to do anything well, for the use
of which he will hold us to a stric
account-hOw we neglect it, how WI
forget our high calling, and stop IT

A nemocratio Monarch.

Robert p. Porter, i'll a letter to the
Philadelphia Inquirer, tells story
which goes to prove that there are kings
and kings, and that they are not all
like the German war lord. Walking
the streets Of Copenhagen some years
ago with the American minister"
writes Mr.. Porter, 81 saw an elderly
gentleman in a modest uniform, accom-
panied by a magnificent bloodhound,
walking toward us. The pavement was
narrow, and we were ON the inside.
Without giving MS a chance, this kindly
man, erect as an arrow, stepped from
the sidewalk into the street and saluted
our minister, military fashion. We both
returned the salute and passed on. " 1t
was, Of course, the king of Denmark,
who loves to ramble unattended about
the capital, and who may be seen near
ly every afternoon walking along the
wharfs and quays of Copenhagen and
in the public thoroughfares. He is a
friend of the people and unusually be-
loved. Moreover, he is modest, unpre-
tentious gentleman, and a man Of cour-

TENNESSEE AGAINST THE WORLD.
Why DO Its Inhabitants Emigrate to
Other states?

Why DO Its Inhabitants Emigrate to
Other states?
EDITOR HERALD: Every year
heretofore, about this time, one or
more of our citizens emigrate to
Texas or some other state; and this
year will prove no exception. One
or more have already gone and
others will in all probability follow.
1t causes no surprise to often hear
the remark, "If l could make ar
engagements to move, |, too, would
go to Texas this fall"
Thinking along this line, prob
lem presents itself to my mind,
which some of your readers or cor
respondents may solve. / confess it
is too deep for me. Why is it that
so many of the citizens of Tennessee
cannot, as they claim, make a COM
petence here, but can by moving to
another state, although that state
is governed by the same general
laws-the laws of the United States.
/ Is the State too thickly settled? l
hardly think that is the case. Can
it be that those Tennesseeans who
seek their fortunes in other states
are blind to their surroundings and
neglect the opportunities for success
to be found among the mineral and
agricultural resources of their own
state? Tennessee has nearly every
variety of soil and climate. 1t is
rich in mineral wealth. Its soil can
be equaled but not surpassed.
The East is mountainous. Coal
iron-ore, limestone and other Valu-
able minerals are found in great
abundance in this section. Tennes'
see marble is famous for building
and monumental purposes.
The West is fertile and level, and
adapted to the production of almost
all kinds of crops, especially corn
cotton, potatoes and hay. But in
Middle Tennessee you find the
choicest spot on earth-the garden
spot of the world. We have here
not only mineral wealth, but some
of the finest agricultural lands il
the world. Here we can rais'
. nearly any thing but tropical fruits
Here is the celebrated bluegrass
region. And here are raised tn
fine race horses and other stock 10
which Tennessee is noted. Middle
Tennessee's tobacco has reputation
in Europe as we'll as America. n,
other state in the Union offers sucI
a diversity of employment.
= 1t is a grand State, with gloriou
! history. 1t swells Tennessean'
e heart with pride to read or think o
2 the words of one of her eloquen
g sons who once said, in reference t
e Tennessee, II speak for that heroi
e State who was baptized in her in
fancy with the sprinkling OF Reyo
lutionary blood in Kings mountain
who, five years afterward, struc
again for independence under tn
banner of the daring young State
- Franklin; who grappled, single
n handed and alone, for fifty year

The Uses of White Sand.

In some of the many trips taken to-
the seashore do not forget to bring
home some clean white sand. 1t will
be found very useful in arranging flow
ers for the table in low, shallow dishes,
as well as for securing purposes. If the
jardiniere is filled quarters full
with this sand, cattails and grasses can
be arranged much more gracefully, the
sand being heavy enough to hold them.
