Taking of His Hat to Nature.

Hamilton w. Mabie repeats story
which shows how one man, at least,
was affected by the beauty ofnature.
One day in the early spring Scotch
man was walking along the side of d
mountain in Skye, when he came to
a hut in which lived an old man he
had known great many years. He
saw the old man with his head bowed,
and his bonnet in his hand. He came
up and said to him after bit 81
did not speak to you, Sandy, because
/ thought you might be at your pray
ers.n
"Well, not exactly that" said the
old man, but | will tell you what l
was doing. Every morning for forty
years | have taken Off my bonnet here
to the beauty of the world"
Beauty, wherever it is seen, is a re-
Election of Gods face, the shining of
heavenly light down upon the earth.
Wherever we come upon it, it should
touch our hearts with spirit OF rever-
ence. God is near; we are standing in
the light OF his cOuntenance.

A SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
A Blind Farmer and His Little Son
Badly Injured.
Tho State.

Laurens, Aug Yesterday about o'clock
MIR. Lindsay H. Cromer Of Clinton and his
little son, Ii ndsay Cromer. Jr.. met with quite
a serious accident In this city by which both
were very painfully injured, the boy serious
ly, his skull being fractured In two places.
Mr.. Cromer, who In q farmer, accompanied by
his Ron, was coming to the city In y One-horse
wagon to which was attached a mule. They
had just entered East Main Street when the
mule frightened at the attempt of another
team to pass, started In a break neck run on a
down. grade. An eye witness says the front
wheels cf the wagon evidently struck rock
at one side of the street to which the mu le
had SHE'D, az both occupants were simultan-
eously pitched high III the air and fell with
terrific force on the graVeled street. Both
were rendered unconscious by the shock, but
were soon revived by the timely assistance OF
the residents in that vicinity. Ugly cuts and
bruises we're received by both from hend to
foot. Their wounds bred profuseIy and both
no doubt suffered eXcrucIating pain, but not
q whimper nor Il murmur did the boy or his
father utter.
The scene OF their sad plight was pitiful. a
fact which was enhanced by the total blind.
ness OF Mr.. CrOmer, Sr. He was At one time
connected with the Cedar Springs institute IN
a professor and Is an intelligent and useful
citizen.
He is now engaged IN farming In the vicin.
ity of Clinton and Is most highly esteemed
citizen.
They were taken To the home of Mr.. j. f..
Talbert, a relative. after receiving medical Al
tention, and where they are regarded Us doing
nicely.
Mr.. J.. II. Cromer was getting along nicely
yesterday, and is not seriously hurt. His son
| was DONG very well, though more pain fully
| hurt than his father.
