American, Ellsworth Me.
Good is the Saxon speech! clear, short
and strong;
It's clean-cut words fit both for prayer
and song;
Good is this tongue for all the needs
of life;
Good for sweet words with friend. or
child or wife
IT'S good for laws: for vows of youth
and maid
Good for the preachers or shrewd
folks in trade;
Good for sea calls, when loud the rush
of spray;
Good for war-cres, when men meet
hilt to hilt
And mans best blood like new-trod
wine is split,
Good for all times and good for what
thou wilt!
james Barron Hope.
Dear Aunt Madge and NJ. BIS:
I greet you all this lovely day with
good wishes.

All right, I guess, as l heard of no
mishaps Irish Molly and I arrived
home safe and sound after the lovely
day at the reunion, and ! certainly en-
joyed every minute as l always do.
Wish everyone who belongs could meet
at some time. If the spacious cottage
of Aunt Madge would not hold US all
there is plenty of room out of doors
and a lovely view in every direction.
Thought of all. Wish very much that
Aunt Sue and her John, Charity and
Ann could have been there; also Sadie;
have not forgotten. Sadie, that I
owe you a letter. l think of it often
But remember, l think of you even if I
do not write. And / speak of you very
often.
received that package, Law, and I
put those bows just where you thought
they would look the best, and they
just matched my dress. And I want to
tell you also that one gladio!a has
blossomed and another budded. So
pleased
am looking for that letter, Aunt
Maria. Hope to see you some time in
your home.
wen, IOIkS, nope you Will HUI lui IA
me down for such a poor letter, a poor
letter is better than none at all, so
here goes.

Thanks to you, Jenny, for remem-
bering us with a letter. You are
setting good example. We certain
ly should appreciate these lovely
days and store up some sunshine
from them for remembrance in the
winter: just as, we are trying tt
store up some of natures product
ions for use, when the sunny day.
| are over.
heard a little discussion one da!
| on what constitutes having room
cleared up-that is, what would ont
notice first or what would be thu
impression given to any one from
outside coming into it before all Thu
mornings work was done. Indirect
ly. what would you, as house
keeper do first?
One said, would pick up and pu
away or put in place anything whicl
might have been left about tn
evening before. Another would hav
the floors swept clean. AS l recall
old times, the mornings program
| ran something like this Wash tn
dishes. sweep the floors, trim tn
| lamps. make the beds Cor skim tn
milk first if cows were kept. Nov
with many of you it is electric lights
vacuum cleaners, etc.-and the day
are too short for all we want to do.

Scotland in 1851. His essays have
been printed in book form and wide
ly read. I quote from one entitled
How Fruits Grow"
There is a very clever trick in Indi:
called the Mango trick. A seed is pu
| in the ground and covered up, ant
after divers lamentations, full-growr
| Mango bush appears within five min
utes. I never met anyone who knew
| how the thing was done. but l never
met anyone who believed it to be any,
| thing else but a conjuring trick. TIL,
| world is pretty unanimous now in it:
belief in the orderliness of nature.
| Men may not know how fruits grow
| bat they do know that they canno
| grow in five minutes Some have never
| planted one sound seed of JOY in al
| their lives. and others who may hav,
| planted germ or two, have lived Sc
little in sunshine that they nevel
| could come to maturity.
