| lived in New Concord, Galloway county,
Kentucky. before coming to Texas. We
babe our relatives and friends in New

landed in Georgetown, Tex, January 81,
about p. m. How sad we all felt when
we parted with our dear Kentucky
friends But we have found Texas to be
a finer country than Kentucky and better
people cannot be found than we nave
| found here in Texas. so we are sausfed
| here though we can never cease to love
| Kentucky and our dear friends there. We
| live 4 miles from Jonah and miles from

"Blunderfng Bily."-Dear Junior: AS
! Miss Kate Hines has the rocker | guess
| Will Just take the stool over here by
the piano-no | will just exchange with
! Miss Kate and she can play some of those
beautiful songs while [ chat a While
with those flowing" girls that / see sit
ting around the room so VIII Just
/ move my rocker" over there IN tntil

| no of that, DuC
! won't tell her so) lessons in that nys-
teral, Understandable feeifng-'love.
.hinS Miss Ones subject we'll chosen
ono and don't think it could have been
written to better effect. Love and friend
shin constitute the whole of mans exist
ance without either of which this world
wolIdrt be a very pleasant place Inc
| word 'love" embraces all that is GOOD
Imro and true, but is not friendship
! rIassed under a different heading? What
is greater than true friendship! but
| great as ii may be, easily procured as IL
! NAV he there are those who do not pos
sess il. How many have mistaken false
| friendship for the true! we should De
careful in the selection OF our irlends'
we should not choose them too hastlly'
for what is done in rash moments Is OH
ronented ct leisure. Friendship is as old
as the formation Of society, and there Is
| ccarcelv an ancient writer now eXtaht:
| who has not said something IN praise Oh
| it, OF this we have fine example IN
! the story of David and Jonathan, as
recorded In the second book of Samuel.
| In this same sacred oracle we are told
that love is stronger than death ana
even the great Redeemer or the "orio
had a beloved disciple
some one has finely described friendship
| in the following words: -
"Friendship, thou charmer or the mil"'
Thou sweet deluding Ill;
Tho brightest moments mortalS nnd
And sharpest pains we feel
Fate has divided all our shares
OF pleasure and of pain.
Tn love. the friendship and the cares,
Are mixed and Joined again.
The same ingenious author In announcer
| place says. ,a,-s
IT'S dangerous to let loose your love-
Beneatt the eternal fair.
And I guess that Aunt Susie thinks II
wish to remain on friendly terms win
her had better ring off and get 10
..pulling the bell-cord over old Beckle,
and | think so too So au revolr uii
call again.
