mother’s love.
There is a, beautiful old legend
that at creation’s dawn an angel
came down 1o earth seeking
something to take to heaven. It
returned with a boquet of flow
ers, a baby’s smile and a moth
er’s love. When it reached the
pearly gates of paradise again,
the flowers had withered, the
smile had changed to a felon’s
frown, but mother’s love was
fouud to be as pure and eternal
as the water that flowed by the
heavenly throne, and all the
angels exclaimed: “There is
nothing pure enough for heaven
but a mother’s love.” What a
sublime thought and holy moral
this old legend teaches to mortal
creatures. We could recommend
the the memorizing of such
beautiful thoughts . clothed in
language, for as a man thinks, so
he is. Out of thoughts come the
issue of life. Keep the mind full
of beautiful pictures and there
will be no room for licentious
ones. Wickedness cannot find a
home in the heart when it is full
of mother’s love. It is during
forgetful hours, when parental
love is pushed aside, that evil
deeds are done.—Magnolia News.

ON THE HEN.
A hen is an animal made by
the Creator of the universe,
which is covered with feathers,
and has a bill. The hen stands
' on two feet, except when she is
tired, and then she stands on
one, and eats corn with her bill.
When the hen sits, she sits down
to lay, and when she lays down
she lays down to set. The hen’s
eggs are good to eat unless they
have been set on.—The Ameri
can Fancier.
FOR THE SCHOLAR.
Three little words you often see.
Are articles—A, An and The,
A Noun is the name of anything,
As school, or Garden. Hope or Swing,
Adjectives tell the kind of Noun,
As Great, or Small, Pretty. White or Brown.
Instead of Nouns the Pronouns .stand.
Her head. His face. Your arm. Mv hand.
Verbs tell of something being done—
To Read, Count, Laugh, Sing, Jump or Run,
How things are done the Adverbs tell—
As slowly. Quickly, 111 or Well.
Conjunctions joins the words together;
As Men and Women, Wind and Weather.
The Preposition stands before
A Noun, ns In or Through a door.
The Interjection shows surprise,
As, Oh; how pretty! Ah! how wise.
The whole are called nine parts of speech.
Which reading, writing, speaking teach.
—North Little Rock Times.
Wo recommend that every
school child studying grammar
learn this as it will aid you won
derfully in remembering the
partsof speech.

was well carried out last Friday

and Grays. A Ter a little talk
from Prof. Lovejoy they hushed
and said they were going to a
negro meeting to learn how to

A Typical South African Store.
O. R. Larson, of Bay Villa,
Sundays River, Cape Colony,
conducts a store tjTpical of South
Africa, at which can be purchas
ed anything from the proverbial
“needle to an anchor.” This
store is situated in a valley nine
miles from the nearest railway
station and about twenty-five
miles from the nearest town.
Mr. Larson says: “I am favored
with the custom of farmers with
in a radius of thirty miles, to
manjr of whom I have supplied
Chamberlain’s remedies. All
testify to their value in a house
hold where a doctor’s advice is
almost out of the question. With
in one mile of my store the pop
ulation is perhaps sixty. Of
these, within the past twelve
months, no less than fourteen
have been absolutely cured by
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy,
This must surely be a record.”
