/ Every man and women ought to see
the beauties of trees, which not only
furnish limbs for swings for little
folks, but furnish shade for cattle up
on thoussp6 hills, homes and places
OF enjoyment for birds and squirrels;
we stand in the presence of wonder
full laboratory when we behold the
trees, they change the chemical con-
stituents of the air and mysteriously
attract food from the air and earth
for man and other animals. In winter
there is a gorgeous spectacle of the
limbs sparkling myriads of icicles, or
covered with hoary frost.
What grander sight than that Of the
ever shifting panorama of the heavens
above? The billowy clouds grotes-
quely taking every shape and furnish
ing entertainment for the imagination.
All children like to play with the vary
ing shapes, where they see fairies and
all the beasts of mythology and Bibli-
cal lore. Then when the night settles
and the wind driven clouds play across
the face of the moon one forgets the
cares of the world, to view with awe
and reverence, till the "for- get-me-not
of the angels" make one feel in tune
with the infinite.
There is sense in which every
pretty girl, every lovely woman should
expect to transmit to all beholders,
without exception, feelings of happi-
ness, joy, elation and all on a plane as
pure as the lily and as lucid as the
moonbeam. Every cunning baby,
every artless child should fill our
hearts with gladness which no paid
performer can simulate.
Those who are so poor in the quality
of enjoyment that they hope some day
to have time to enjoy life are missing
the gigantic spectacle of existence
which is staged by Creation-withou
money and without price.
Whosoever has thrilled with the
wonder of the young of any species,
whatsoever, who ever has looked upon
beautiful and different, and heard the
singing of the birds, their good night
a beautiful sunset, and all of them are.
songs of love, and felt that myster-|
GUS inexpressible sensation of his my
riads of ancestors craving for express
sion; whosoever has watched the stars
blossom upon that sapphire field, and
like David of old contemplated uponl
Him Gin the night watches; whose
ever has felt the sublime sensation of ]
knowing that he has met the One who
is more precious than his own soul-s
who ever has done these things has,

of money cannot make one live more;s
and this is all there is in life. This is

everyone to live in and enjoy.

cumbersome or ungainly. 3D..

pleasant sensation Of wearing q. har

Appliances are made is Of the very
best that money can buy. making it q
durable and safe Appliance to wear.
10. My reputation for honesty and
fair dealing is so thoroughly estab-
1ished by an experience Of over thirty
years of dealing with the public, and
my prices are so reasonable, my terms
