LESSONS IN NATURE.

Men of gross character find no
beauty in nature. LeSage,
Smolliet and writer's of the pres
ent day who offer to the world
minute pictures of what is coarse
and impure never take their
readers into the refreshing at
mosphere of field or mountain
their scenes are laid in the tap
room, the prison, the drawing
room. or on the foul pavement Of
city streets. How different the
works of the great and noble in
literature, Scott, Spencer, Chau-
Ger, Milton, Goethe, Words
worth. Their writings are full
of the beauty of nature, the
charm of fragrant flowers, the
inspiration of mountains, rivers
that move in majesty the splen-
dor Of sunsets, forests clouds and
sea.
If a man will purify his soul
let him turn to the beauties of
nature, Let us teach our chill
dred to dwell upon the loveliness
of the changing seasons, to look
"thru nature up to natures
God, y and the ornament show
eth His handiwork. F." The
truths of religion are taught by
nature. The goodly heritage OF
man is his that he may learn the
beauty of goodness, that he may
know that beauty is truth aud
truth is beauty. Nature teaches
him reverence. The mystery Of
the deepwoods still his peryisi
ties, widens his horizon, chasten'
his conceit, softens .hisasperities
teaches him modesty gentlenes
and piety. We know.
That nature never did b,tray
The Heart that loved her, Ills her privilsg
Through all the years OF this our life, t
head
FIR m i,y to y; for she can SO inform
The mind tl,atis within u, SO mprs,"
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1904-10-13

With quiteness and beauty, and so feed
With lofty thoughts, that neither evil
tongues,
Rash judgements, nor the sneers Of selfish
men,
Nor greetings where no kindness is, not all
The dreary intercourse OF daily life,
Shall e'er prevail against US, or disturb
Our cheerful faith, tina, all which We be-
hold
Is full of blessings.
Let us teach our children to be
lovers of the meadows, the
woods, the mountains, of the
beautiful earth. Students of all
her moods, knowing that nature
will be to them as to Wordsworth,
the anchor of the purest thoughts
the nurse, the guide, the guar
dian of the heart, the very soul
of the moral being.

Our habits are formed under
the Wondering power OF home.
The tender twig is there bent,
the spirit shaped, principles i'm
planted, and the whole character
is formed until it becomes a hab-
it. Goodness or evil are there
resolved into necessity" Who
does not feel this influence of
home upon all his habits of life?
The gray-haired father who walls
in his second infancy, feels the
traces of his childhood home in
his desires and habits.

Many men have been obscure
in their origin and birth, but
great aud glorious in life and
sieath. They have been born
and nurtured on farms or villages
but have reigned and triumphed
in cities. They We're first laid in
the managers of poverty and OBJ
security, but have afterwards be-
come possessors of, throne and
palaces. Columbus was the son
of weaver and a weaver him.
self. Homer was the son of a
small farmer. Demosthenes was
the son of a cutler. The biogra-
ply of ten of our presidents is
the story of ten poor boys. John
Adams, second president, was
the son of a grocer of limited
means. Andrew Jackson was
born in a log hut in North Caro-
lima and was reared in the pine
woods for which the State is ia
nous. James X. Polk spent his
early life toiling on q farm in
North Carolina. Willard Fill
more was born in a small town
in the Allegheny mountains.
His father cut the logs of which
their cabin home was built.
Abraham Lincoln was the son
of a wretchedly poor farmer in
Kentucky and lived in a cabin
until he was twenty-one. An
drew Johnson was apprenticed
to a tailor at the age of ten years
by his widowed mother. U. s.
Grant lived the life of a village
boy in a plain house on the Ohio
River. This house is now on ex-
hibition at the st. Louis exposi-
ton. James : A. Garfield was
born in log cabin. Grover
Cleveland's father was Presby-
terrain minister with large fam
lily and a small salary. William
McKinley's home was plain and
his father worked hard to keep
him in school. Thus you all see
that poverty is often a beacon
light guiding industrious, honest
young men to fame and fortune.
No young man in glorious Amer
lea has cause to. be discouraged
because he was born in poverty.
From the most humble walks OF
life have sprung our greatest and
best men. i

Uncle Toms
Chat.

Your Uncle Tom has been quar-
relling over and about busy
bodies and meddlers but it will dc
no good, as none of them take or
read a respectable newspaper,
but like q certain woman that
called around not long ago to see
Uncle Tom; | s'sorter' wanted
her to read one of my "tarna-
Does" but she didn't have time,
yet she had time to gossip about
every body and every thing be-
fore she left.
Well | reckon preachers read
Mrs. Grundy and for their bene.
fit | want to quote Rev. j. <,
Wray on Opponents. He said :
81 do not propose to dictate what
other ministers shall do but for
my part | have always refused to
marry q runaway couple He
believes it is best to send such
couples to the officers Of the law,
believing that-~hen young people
show such disrespect to their
parents, the church should not
place the seal of its approval
upon such marriage and then,
said he "the church cannot afford
to sanctify such nuptial con-
tracts A lack of reverence for
parents is one of the alarming
signs of the times, and no minis
ter can afford to aid and abet
children in it. The sermon
was one of the most powerful
ever. deliverd from a pulpit. lev.
cry preacher ought to be careful
who he marries and under what
conditions he performs the cere.
mony and in their teaching they
should teach obedience to paren.
tai authority and respect old age.
Well Uncle Tom, you are not
opposed to marriage are you? No
sir But believe in the right
kind. Our country is full
enough of grass widows and wild.
overs at present, and alot of old
maids and bachelors are not half
so troublesome as these grass
widows and widowers are.
Bro. Wray struck the key
note. Just stop tying the knot
until satisfactory evidence is pro-
duced that all is we'll; and let
young people know father mother

Once there was q Mormon

And it came to pass that one
day the bishops two counselors
