grant her everything possible to add pleasures
and comforts to "us' and "our' home.
4owoman has a great deal of influence over a
man, and if she will use her influence in the right
way, she is very apt to win. She can win love, or
she can win hatred,-just which she desires. Per-
haps some one will say: I am taking the opposite
side of every subject. Well, maybe / am, but it's
well enough to discuss both sides.
\
Did any of you ever stop for just a minute and
think of the many classes of people on this old
arth-the many different works and minds and
characters of people, some of which we consider
extremely good and some extremely bad ;-some
who live to a ripe old age, some who die in their
prime of life, some in their childhood or infancy?
And yet every person who has ever been, or ever
will be, or is now on earth, was sent here for some
mission which no other can ELI. An infant who
has never spoken and who has never done the
simplest deed, is taken to heaven, yet it has a mis-
sion here on earth, and it is filed. Why, perhaps
mother or father would never have known their
strong love for a child, or the giving them back
to the great Creator, but for this, which has
taught them both.
Every creature is for some purpose, and let's
try to realize what it is and help each other to do
it if in our power. ELLIE.

even to feed the horses. His father was willing
to do anything that the boy might get an educa-
ton. And right here he missed it.
Country life is what you make it. It is an his
torlcal fact that nine-tenths of our great men
came from the country. And you will notice, it
is also an historical fact that nine-tenths of those
boys who got everything they wanted made moth
ing. 1t will never do for a young man to get
everything he wants; he must learn what it is to
do without things. If he wants good books to
read, set him about a job to earn them; then they
will be better books when he gets them.
And again, you will notice in the city that bus
mess requires working young men to be toiling
constantly, day after day, and receiving no recrea-
ton at all; many become discouraged, and pro-
nounce life a failure. Every city boy and girl
should spend a certain amount of the year in the
country. You will notice that nearly all the
Northern pleasure-seekers that come to the South
go to the country. Why2 Because it is free from
the city's "glare and heat and from the humming
noise of industry. I don't say the cities are no
good; we could not get along without them. And
| am willing to acknowledge that most of the
country boys are not so well read as the city boys,
but l do say that the country boy possesses some
thing the city boy is without. You will notice
that the country boy will often go through col
lege in two years, while it wi" take the city boy
four years. It is also said that the country-bred
man makes a better business man than the city
youth, because. the former has learned the art of
self-dependence, and has learned that it is no
shame to labor.
The country has for past generations been be-
hind on improvements and conveniences, but we
must remember it is fast progressing. It has the
rural free delivery just the same as the city, and
we can read the morning paper almost as soon
as our city neighbors. It has consolidation of
schools, and is establishing examples here in this
county for the whole world. Local taxation is
proving a blessing. The country lacks but one
thing in educational affairs-compulsory educa-
ton. Then the country will be almost a city.
With these few scattering remarks, I close.

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

Our letters this week are interesting, especially
so. is the one from E., who appears for the first
time in the Circle. Mrs. Mckinney says that if
she is old she loves young people, and enjoys their
society. What a happy nature this sentence dis
closes! There are so many old people in the
world who have seemingly forgotten that they
we're ever young and who frown at every light
hearted, buoyant act of youth, and continually
drawl that things are not what they used to be,
forgetting that they view the world and it's people
through two magnifying glasses now and of
course every little indiscretion seems to them a
tremendous sin, when in reality it was mere
thoughtlessness, and time and experience will rec
tify it.
I attended the burial of an old friend yesterday
who in his long and useful life won and kept the
love of more children than it usually falls to the
lot of man to meet in this life. In fact, he was
the most universally beloved man I have ever
known. The children who loved him thirty years
ago are men and women now and they mingled
their tears with those of their children beside his
grave. There is always some good IN a man whom
the children love, and he was a model in which
there was no flaw. Gentle, unassuming Gin fact
possessed of a difidence which almost amounted
to t~imidity) and whose life was an open book"
on whose pages there were no blots, therefore we
do not wonder that he was so universally beloved.
While listening to the dull thud of the earth as
it fell from the shovels / wondered when we should
again see a man like him. My gaze involuntarily
scanned the faces of those near me. / recognized
the face Of a man whom / knew as a boy and of
whom I had expected much. He is young, vigo-
rous and capable. Will he be buried and his de-
parture deplored as this mans? The passing of
good me- and women always means a call to some
younger persons to devote themselves more earn
estly to self-sacrifcing tasks.
The time for planting flowers is rapidly pass
ing, and / hope that all readers of Social Chat are
making arrangements to get all the beauty posi-
bic for house and yards this summer.
AUNT JENNIE
P. 81 must again remind contributors of the
rule every writer should bear constantly in mind.
When you write for Social Chat or for any other
department of this or any other periodical, you
must write on only one side of your paper. One
or two correspondents seem to have forgotten
this.

On Making Home Pleasant

Dear Aunt Jennie:-As the long, dreary winter
is nearly over and spring is close by, and all
things are beginning to take on new life, l will
write to Social Chat. I have read so many good
letters from the sisters this past winter, and have
enjoyed them so much, and have thought all
along, "WeIl, next week I will write" but kept
putting it off, for I knew there were~so many that
could write and did write such nice instructive
letters that I felt that mine we're not needed. But
I am not going to let what little talent / have
for writing rust. If I am old, I love young people
and enjoy their society, and always like to see
them have a good time, for we all know the bur-
dens of this life will come to them all soon
enough. I think parents ought to make home the
most pleasant place for children and young folks,
and for boys most of all. I don't think there
would be so much crime if we could make our
home circles pleasant and entertaining SO the boys
and girls would not want to go elsewhere to find
pleasure. We all can't have fine homes and nice
surroundings, but we can always have Gods sum
shine, and we can do the best we can, and l feel
as if that were all we need to do. We, all of us
parents, must be up and doing what we can to
keep the young folks and make them to under
stand that they will have to take our places sooner
or later. A great many parents seem to think
that if they provide food and raiment for their
children that that is all that is necessary for them
to do. Oh, what a mistake! That is one of cur
pleasures, when we come to think of it. We must
so live that our children can look back when they
get away from us and their childhood home, not
with sorrow but with pleasure. We will never for
get our children, so let us try to make them good
and happy.
I am SO sorry to hear of the death of Harry
Farmer. We readers of The Progressive Farmer
will miss his good letters so much.
Love for Aunt Jennie and success for The
Progressive Farmer.

I was struck recently. by a remark contained
in a letter received by 1e-that the line of prog
