From Nellie.

Dear Aunt Jeniie:-While sitting by the bed
| will just chat with you all a few minutes. I
have tried to look on the bright side in this time
of our trouble, and really feel like there is a bright
side to every dark shadow in life.
But sometimes we strike a shadow so suddenly
and so unexpectedly, that everything seems dark
and drear, and we fail to see the brightness,
which we can see after we have time to consider.
Yes, this could have been a great deal worse. We
were all at home and within easy reach of two
doctors who were soon in, and did their work very
nicely. My husband was the only one of the fam
lily of six able to do the farm work, and the crop
but just started. We have only to wait and to
hope for the bright side to come to us in this
dark, dark shadow.
We had only two days before this awful acct
dent spent a day in Raleigh, which was my first
visit there. We spent a very enjoyable day. We
visited all the State buildings, also the park. The
little children did enjoy seeing the rabbits and
birds and many other things they saw at the park
so much. We intended calling at The Progressive
Farmer office. l was really anxious to see Aunt
Jennie, but on account of the rain in the late af-
ternoon we failed to reach the Office until it had
closed. We met some very nice friends in Raleigh
who gave us a very hearty welcome, which was SO
much appreciated through our resting hours.
If I should ever go to Raleigh again / shall try
to find Aunt Jennie. I must stop now and rest.
Asking sympathy of all the chatterers and Aunt
Jennie. NELLIE.

Kindness to Bird and Beast.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-Wil you permit another
Chatterer to join your social corner and chat
awhile? / feel very lonesome this afternoon. l
am always lonesome when the wind is blowing,
and I cannot hear the birds singing. / like
Thomas Albert Pope's letter pleading for the lives
of the birds. l think it would be so lonesome at
this season, were it not for the little birds to
cheer us UP with their sweet little songs.
There are lots of little boys who seem to think
it fine sport hunting birds nests to get the eggs.
have a little incident in my mind now which oc-
CURED not long ago. A little city boy was climb
ing a tree to get some bird eggs when he fell,
breaking his arm. He is very slowly recovering.
Of course it is a pity for the unfortunate boy
(and one cannot expect him to be fortunate IL
robbing a birds nest), but / think it ought to
teach a very dear lesson. Now / do not think we
ought to blame the little boys for all the robbing
of birds nests, for I have seen little girls taking
eggs. and even the little baby birds from the nest.
But while we are talking SO much about the
birds, why not speak a word for our friends, the
horsesg I am sure we owe much of our attention
to these animals that do SO much for us all. What

not only the farmer, but every other business

do not care any more for the feelings of the poor
dumb brute than they would for their "bikes." I
have seen them driven ten and twelve miles in
the heat, with their heads refined back until I
know their poor necks ached. Then they are tied
to some post or tree to stand all day without a
taste of food Or a drop of water, while the owner

a plenty to drink. When evening begins to draw
near and time for going home has come the old

hungry brute up and force it to pull them a dis
lance of more than ten miles. Then it is taken
and turned into a stall with perhaps a few ears
of corn thrown into a dirty trough. Now, is this
cruelty to animals?
[ like Capitola Silverpen's letter. [ do not
think it best to have so many friends, for there
are sure to be some who are not true. You know
there is a saying something like this:
ga friend in need,
Is a friend indeed"
And a great many of us have a host of friends
as long as we are we'll and doing well, but when
trouble comes, our friends are gone. I do not say
all our friends are gone, for there are some that
are ever-faithful and willing to lend a helping
hand, and such a friend is very valuable.

Thp Value Of Common Sense.
Duplin Co., N. @.

Dear Aunt Jennie ANY one who would profit
by experience will never be above asking help.
He who thinks himself already too wise to learn
of others, will never succeed in doing anything
either good or great. We must keep our minds
and hearts open, and never be ashamed to learn
with the assistance of others who are wiser than
ourselves.
The man made wise by experience endeavors
to judge correctly Of the things which come I'M
der his observation, and form the subject of his
daily life. What we call common sense is, for the
most part, but the result of common experience
wisely improved. 1t does not take great ability to
acquire it.. so much as patience, accuracy and
watchfulness. The most sensible people to be met
with are Intelligent men of business and of the
world, who argue from what they see and know,
instead of spinning cobweb distinctions of what
things ought to be. Women often display more
good sense than men, having fewer pretensions,
and judging things naturally by the involuntary
impression they make on the mind.
Woman's greater-if not greatest-tact is dis
played in the management of others. [ have seen
a woman of slender intellectual powers control
and regulate the conduct of a man of the most
impracticable nature. =
Our life may be regarded as a great school of
experience, in which men and women are the
pupils. Many of the lessons must be taken on
trust, just as in school. We may not understand
why we have to learn our lessons, especially when
our teachers are trials, SORROWS, temptations and
difficulties; but we must not only accept their les
sons, but recognize them as being divinely APP
pointed.
I am home from school and have taken the
spare moments to write the Social Chat, of which
I have been a silent reader for so long.
Best wishes for the paper and Aunt Jennie.

More Charges by Jim Dorman.
Iredell Co., N. @.

Dear Aunt Jennie :-I very much appreciate
your complimentary remarks upon my letter, and
also those of Mrs. S. E. NJ, in last weeks Farmer;
for, really, [ expected that almost all the girls
who read Social Chat would rise in arms
against me, when they read the statement that
they are partly to be blamed for trifingness in
the boys. But not one has raised her voice
against it; only a married lady has seen fit to op-
pose the idea. Now there must be a sense of
guilt somewhere, or some one else would have
been kicking.
Now, Mrs. S. E. M, 1 made that statement
chiefly with regard to influence; and if it is not
true, then we may as well stop talking about the
power of influence. And here is an incident that
proves well the idea: A certain young man, when
asked why he liked to associate with a certain
young lady, replied: "She makes me think my
best thoughts" / will tell you, the girls do not
shed abroad the pure, sweet, refining influence
which they should. Whose fault is it that a reck-
less boy can say, "the rowdier a boy is, the better
the girls like him.? And I have myself, with sim
cere regret as we'll as fear, noticed that the ma
ioity of the girls show a special fondness for the
company of the boy who is most "rowdy." They
seem to pay little attention to the fact that they
should 'keep good company or none"
Now as to the statement, that it is often the
case that refined young ladies have immoral men
for their brothers, husbands, fathers, etc., l know
that it is true in many instances; but [ have this
much to say, that if I had a brother who persisted
in various demoralizing habits, / would keep his
company as little as possible. And if a woman
has such a man for a husband, she is failing to
do her duty, or else there is no truth in the state
ment, "'The believing wife sanctiieth the unbe-
lieving husband" And, as the husband may be
a father, the statement applies with equal force
here. But there are two sides to every question,
and / will gladly hear the other side.
And now, Aunt Jennie, here is a subject, COM

A tsReal" Good Catch.

The next time YOU go to a party take with
you a reel of white cotton and a needle. At the
first opportunity thread the needle and drop the
reel inside your breast-pocket; pass the needle
through your coat from the inside, and detach
it from the cotton, leaving but two inches hanging
upon the outside of your black coat. You will be
interested to see how your friends will try to do
you the kindness of removing the cotton, and
the effect will be startling when they pull out an
apparently endless length of thread-April Wo-
