Saturday Night Verses

'I am a firm believer" said a mother recently. fin the good old Mother Goose rhymes and other homely verses for chill dren. was brought up on them, and my children are delighted with them in their turn. Often of a Saturday night l find myself humming over to them a song my old nurse was wont to sing to me, as she tucked me in. after giving me nice warm bath. What were the words? They ran something like this:
 How pleasant 1t Is on Saturday night,
 When I've tried all the week to be good, Not spoken a word that was bad,
 And obliged every one that l could. Tomorrow, the sweet Sabbath comes,
 Which our meroful Father has given, That we may have rest from our work And prepare for the Sabbath of Heaven By no means do xnean to imply that I was always good. In fact, I can recall only too well by aversion to being wash ed. My nurse had some lines for such occasions. I can now hear her saying, as I protested at the. operation:
 Don't want to be washed,
 Don't want to be clean?
 Want to be dirty,
 Not fit to be seen?
 And the expression on her face would win me over to the conclusion that after all it was better to be washed and clean'' To this day, when I hear a child being coaxed for the same purpose, find myself repeating those lines of thirty years ago."

 In response sto telephone call yester- day a sweet Ntoice said q do wish you would say something about the destruc- tion of the plants which we loyal sup porters of the city beautiful movement are stending so carefully. It is very dis couraging to our zeal fort beautifying the city and our pride in our homes to have flowers taken as fast as they bloom and shrubs broken and runed.' Her home is one of the most beautiful in Birmingham, located in Glen his park at point where 1t is visible from, afar. Its appointments are quite perfect and probably the most potent of its charms Is the lawn and flower garden. 'lEow. people walk all over my yard,' she staid, land never com plain, but when they begin gathering my choicest flowers which have been placed there purely for decorative purpose, and would not gather'myself, feel that I am justified in making a protest. In my back yard I cultivate flowers for use in my home and to give my friends. In front we ghave a number of handsome plants, some sof which could not be replaced without 8 great deal of trouble. They have been ordered from a distance and at consider able expense. Some of the little shrubs were chosen because of their symmetry, and when they are broken their beauty Is gone. I have had my flowers stolen and injured so systematically that last Sunday I refused to go for drive be- cause I felt that someone must be left to watch over my flower' treasures. After sitting on the porch mosu of the afternoon I walked, toward dusk. around to the rear garden to gather some flowers for several friends who were motoring past and just stopped for moment. Now, do you know, was gone not more than five minutes. but I found that during my ab- sence little spruce which Is my especial pride had beeni nipped off at the top where the little new shoot is tender and of a pretty bluish tint. The ones who did 1t, a man and a woman, were apparently nice people. They were well dressed at least I ordered the little spruce from Philadelphia a short time ago and paid $5 for it. By breaking the top off its life was destroyed
 'HThe person who destroys or injures a plant willingly cannot have much real love for the beautiful. However, many are 9houghtless about things of this kind The person who broke the little spruce tree would surely have stayed his hand could he have known that it would de- stroy 1t. It seems a peculiar thing that people who are otherwise perfectly strict in their respect for the rights of others should have so little conscience about the flowers that are just as clearly private property of others as the chairs on their front porches."
