perfection Of everything that is made
by man, but there is none to the works
of nature. The finest cambric needle

the microscope, but the point Of a

the young folks would sometimes stop
and think aud study ns...e. Z.
would refine them in thought and
feeling aud excite reverence for
their Creator. How beautifully the
great poets wrote about flowers. One
says, the humblest flower that
blooms sometimes gives thought too
deep for tears '.'And it's my faith
that every flower enjoys the air it
breathes." Some flowers seem vain
and sonae are modest. From my win
dow I see the rainbow cannas aud the
proud and lofty dahlias atrutting to
the morning sun and not far away are
tho humble violets half hiding from
the light. Tennyson says, "Aby nose
can ravage the scent of flower, but
only the pure in heart have right
to. : lam ON early riser and every
bright morning I visit the garden and
Inspect the flowers that the night has
opened 1and out enough. FOR a fresh
vase ,at the breakfast table. The
neighbors chickens annoy me, for my
garden is their feeding ground and
they scratch tho barnyasd manure
from my plants. So on yesterday T
got some chicken wire and stretcLed
it along the fence. But 1 forgot to
shat the gate and they came in snd
when | got after them they put eheir
heads through the meshes and got
fest. had fun with those chickens
and they will not come back any more.
The gardens are fine this fall. The
second crop Of beans and potatoes are
on hand. Turnip green's and mustard
abound. A few tomatoes are still left
and my good neighhor, Yarbro ugh, /,
the preacher, sends ns some Of his 6ne
ones every few days. His Crimson
Whirlwind is the finest variety I have
ever seen. Verify the lines have
fallen to us in pleasant places. Day
unto day uttereth speech and night
unto G;ght showeth knowledge. Miss
Stone will be rescued, reckon, not
because she is missionary ia bar
baTous country, but because she is IN
American woman. The best opinion
ia that she had no business going
there. 0nf people have got more
sense and. are not drumming up women
FOR missionaries TO uncivilized coun-
tries. Il ;is strange what passion
|5some people have for long distance
charity. The statistica show, 65, 600
arrests ia Boston the last GHsal year
and yet Boaton sends missionaries to
Tuskey aid preachers aud teachers
forthe negfoes in stheSuuth. Georgia
has only $50 white conyicts il, her
oenitentiary, while Massachusetts,
with only . litsls larger population,
has l 900, and New York State with
but three times the population Of
Georgia, has $500 convicts besides
numerous reformatories with several
thousand inmates. The truth is that
every State and every large city has
enough Of the lswless, the ignorant
and the destitute to care for and it is
mistaken charity 60 overlook them
and hunt for misery afar off. But we
are getting along fairly we'll in this
blessed land and have much to be
thankful for that our Northern breth-

Tyler was q noble man and a consoien-

man to please either party, and, of
course. was not nominated for the
next presidency. That may be Roose-
