THE GLApNESS OF NATURE.

1t is our opinion that the new year
ought to begin with spring. That
sweet, fresh, budding season, when the
spirit of ncwncss is just awaking from
its long sleep and begins with magic
power its work of revival, breathing
new life and energy into every vein
of nature and thrilling the heart Of
mankind with new joys, new hopes,
new aspirations. The soul that can re-
main inscnsible TO the charm of spring
is indeed dull and heavy. even unnat-
ural. Hawthorne says, From such Il
soul the world must hope no reforma.
tion of its evil, no sympathy with the
lofty faith and gallant struggles of
those who contend in his behalf" How
joyously the birds are singing this
morning, and why should they not, for
the blight and decay of winter is pass.
ing away, and ere long the earth will
be arrayed in the full bloom and glory
OF spring time, Already the air. so
soft and halmy, bears the fragrance of
delicate blossoms, and the drowsy bees
murmur Of newborn delights. Bryant
says in his poem on "Thc Gladncss Of
Nature"
is this q time TO hr cloudy and sad
When our Mother Mature laughs around,
When even the deep blue heavens look clad
And gladnc>> breathe, from the bluSsumIng
groundt'
Surely our hearts should respond to
the gladncss of nature, and we should
not only be glad, but we should feel
deeply thankful for all these blessings.
For are they not but 50 many express
sions of divine love and tenderness?
"Oh, that man would praise the Lord
for His goodness and for His wonder
full works to the children Of men. "
But how seldom we stop to consider
from whence these blessings come or
what our lives would be without them.
We have said the blight and decay OF
winter is passing away. Indeed it seems
that all the forces of nature are united
in refreshing and Identifying the world
Is this not an example worthy Of our
imitation! II all human kind would
fall into line with those kindly forces Of
nature, If each and every one Of us
would lend our influence to the noble
cause of making better and brighter
the condition Of humanity, what a para.
disc this world would be. There Is
within us Il power, even the power Of
kindness, which, II exercised as God IN.
tended it should be- would not only dis.
pei much of the gloom and bitterness
of other lives, but would be fruitful OF
Joy in our own hearts, for believe the
truest happiness is that which comes
from the knowledge that We have
caused others to be happy. Then why
not make use Of our opportunities?
There is magic in kindness, though it
be expressed merely ina word or II look.

The First Grapefruit.

man how ne introduced grapefruit in

I'VE introduced grapefruit in this
market" he said. The firm was Bar
nard. Edwards & Co. l was in Florida
and saw grapefruit on the trees for
the first time. 1t was in BOrland
Bros. grove at Citra. Borland ex-
planned to me that it was a new va
riety of orange, but was no account.

land. He set his men to packing and
we shipped about twenty boxes. DR..
Charles Reed, the well known physi-
clan, has told me about grapefruit he
had seen in his travels abroad.
q wrote the greatest joshing let
ter l ever did in my life TO my part
ner and told him we must get 81 per
box for this fruit. l then wrote to
Reed and told him what l was doing
and he told all his patients about it
and recommended it as the greatest
tonic in the world. My partner took
my letter seriously and actually sold
the grapefruit at SO to SO per box.
We then went around and got what
could be had in the neighboring groves
They were willing to give the fruit to
Us for the picking, bet we paid them
soc a box. We gathered 20 boxes,
but this lot did not bring so much,
but Edwards got s. to 81 for it. This
was along about 1872. The Borland

mr.. Carpenters Advice to Younq
Preachers.

During the session of the Florida
annual Conference in this city, Rev.
W. j. Carpenter, of Tampa, one of the
Dig guns of the church, was elected to
preach the sermon to undergraduates,
ana among other very wholesome ad-
vice gave the following:
IL is yours to be a good soldier Of
Jesus Christ, and no good soldier is a
coward. He who is afraid of the
smoke of the battle or the fire enemy
mad better not enlist. The warfare in
wolves both assault and defence. but
mostly assault. The "strongholds of
satan must be torn down. We are
10 war good warfare" and also to
night the good fight of faith. The
captain of our salvation" may lead
us into some hot contests. and only
brave men will follow. If you fear to
enter the combat because your per-
sonal popularity may be endangered. 1
fear you will not make q good soldier.
Inc Methodist ministry is no place for
coWardly men. A time serving min
lstry may give distinction to promi-
nent sinners who belong to the church
but such work will injure the cause
he represents. The preacher should not
condone the sins of the rich, nor ex-
plot the sins of the poor. He should
deal to each one as to men to whom
he has mission. The pulpit is not
the place where his courage will be
needed. But in private and in his
personal relations with men, he will
need to be as brave as a lion. l ad-
mire the old prophet of Samaria, who
would not come out of his humble
home because there happened to be a
prominent leper, General Naaman,
standing at the gate. We have no
mission to the mere accidents of pos
ition which come to men. Our duty
is to the man separate and the man
apart from all the accidents of his life.
We 'are to reprove, rebuke, with all
long suffering" both in public and in
private. Surely an age of such world
ly mindedness needs a brave and fear
less ministry, one which will, with
tenderness and patience, declare the
whole counsel of God" without fear
or favor.

A Little Boy Kills a Wild Turkey

Like father like SON is an adage
that is about to be verified in the Bren-
men family.
Oscar when living supplied
his house with more wild meats than
almost anybody. This is luxury
which has been sadly missed by the
bereaved ones until Christmas when
little Guy shouldered his fathers gun
and struck out to get a turkey for
the Christmas dinner. He followed his
fathers tactics, secreted himself and
began to initiate the turkey call. Pret-
ty soon a fine old gobbler put in his
appearance. Guy said he looked as
big as an elephant. However he pop
ped away and down came his feather

The Winter Garden Section.

n special correspondent of the Chi
cago Packer, a paper devoted to the
promotion of the fruit and vegetable
production, has recently visited the
Winter Garden section and speaks of it
as follows:
At this point orange shipments are
still heavy. 1t is estimated that not
more than half Of the crop has gone
to market. This same condition ex-
lists in all this section. There has
been an unusual rainfall during the
last month, and this has delayed ship
ments very materially.
This section is developing into a fine
trucking country, in addition to being
one of the best fruit sections in the
state. There is a great deal of gar
dening here, and the crops are varied.
They raise lettuce, cabbage. sweet and
Irish potatoes and various other pro-
ducts. Some lettuce is being shipped
now, but cabbage is a little late. and
potatoes are just now being planted.
1t will be 90 days before any Irish
potatoes are sent to market.
