proach them 10 structure. They are
exquisite and must come from the !
hand Of God There Is n limit 10 the
perfection Of everything that is made
by man, but there Is none Of the works
OF nature. The finest cambria needle
looks like a blunt pointed file under
the microscope. but the point Of tho
bees sting Is invisible. I wish that
the young folks would sometimes stop
and think and study nature. It would
refine them in thought and feeling and
excite q reverence for their Creator.
How beautifully the great poets wrote
about flowers. One says THE hum
best flower that blooms sometimes
gives thought too deep for tears
"And It's my faith that every flower en-
joys the air It breathes." Some flow
ers seem vain and some are modest.
From my window I see tho rainbow
cannas and the proud and lofty dab
las struttlng to the morning sun and
not far away are the humble vlolets
half hiding from the light. Tennyson
says, ANY nose can ravage the scent
Of a flower, but only the pure in heart
have a right to-" am an early riser.
and every bright morning l visit the
garden and inspect the flowers that
the night has opened and cut enough
for fresh vase at the breakfast table.
The nelghbors' chickens annoy me,
for my garden Is their feeding ground
and they scratch the barn yard manure
frSn my plants. Sc on yesterday l got
some chicken wire and stretched 1t
along the fence. But l forgot to shut
the gate and they came In, and when |
got after them they put their heads
through the meshes and got fast |
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. Turnlp greens and mustard
abound. A few tomatoes are still left,
and my good neighbor Yarbrough, the
preacher, sends us some Of his fine
ones every few days. His Crimson
Whirlwind is the finest variety have
ever seen. Verify the lines have fallen
to us in pleasant places. Day unto
day uttereth speech and night unto
night showeth knowledge. Miss Stone
will be rescued, / reckon, not because
she Is a missionary in barbarous
country, but because she Is an Ameri-
can woman. The best opinion is that
she had no business going there. Our
people have got more sense and are
not drumming up women for mission
aries to unclvilized countries. 1t is
strange what a passion some people
have for long distance charity. The
statistics show $4,000 arrests In Bos-
ton the last fiscal year, and yet Boston
sends missionaries to Turkey and
preachers and teachers for the negroes
In the south. Georgia has only $50
white convicts in her penitentiary
while Massachusetts,, with only a lit
tie larger population, has 1000, and
New York state, with three times the
population of Georgia, has $500 con
yicts, besides numerous reformatorlea
with several thousand inmates. The
truth is, that every state and every
large city has enough of the lawless
the ignorant and the destitute to care
for, and 1t is mistaken charity to over
look them and hunt for misery afar off
But we are getting along fairly wei
in this blessed land and have much tt
be thankful for that our northern
brethren have not May the Lord bless
and guide the president is our prayer
The south does not expect nYm to Ty
lerize his party on the protective tariff
or any other republican principle, bu
1t does expect him TO appoint the bes
men to Office, regardless of their poll
tics. And II his party kicks and threat
ems as the wings did John Tyler, lie
him say as Tyler said to Clay and 9th
ers,, Gentleman, you cannot scare me
My back is against the wall and will
veto these bills" Tyler was a nobl
man and a conscientious statesman
but he was too pure a man to pleas
either party, and, of course, was no
nominated for the next presidency
That may be Roosevelt's late. w
