Times New Leaf.

A new leaf is about to be turned In
the Book of Time, and each one of us
is almost a page nearer to the FINS
which concludes 1ifes history. The
well-thumbed pages OF the past-here
Illuminated with the prismatic pictur-
ings Of hope, there blotted with the
tears of sorrow-are turned down for
ever. Their contents are beyond re-
visal. The items have been trans
ferred to the records of eternity, and
what is written there is written-there
can be no erasures. But the white
leaves Of Futurity are before us-A
new page Is Immediately under our
hand.

study which she went to New
York. She realized in the great city.
as she never could have in her rural
southern home, that talent for art is
too general to leave much hope for
special distinction, and wisely con-

CARTRIDGE noticed that holly and mis-
tletoe brought extremely high prices
and bethought her that on the 500
acres at home in Georgia both grew In
wild abundance. She returned home
and she and her sister began to pre-
pare for making the neglected luxu-
rance of marketable value. In the
months of January and February fol-
lowing they set out ten acres of young
holly trees with their own hands.
Their colored farm hands would not
plant q holly tree for worlds, as they
believe that If they did they would die
as soon as the tree became tall enough
to cast a shadow the measure of their
graves Last Christmas the sisters
found the trees SO grown that they
required thinning out and the trees
that were removed were sent north for
Christmas trees and brought high
prices, as they were symmetrical and
covered with large, rich berries. They
plant the mistletoe berries under the
bark Of old oak trees in crack or
hole, where they can get hold as they

He heard not the mans answering
words-"Forgive you? Never!"-but
