Cold and red aad purple leaves • Flutter down the wind; With the snotv of thistle down All the lanes are lined. Clear and keenly blue the sky, Hurrying birds are flying high, Singing: “Summer, sweet, good-by ! Summer, sweet, good-by !” Sheaves are nodding in the sun, As it passed along, In a gay, fantastic rout, Summer’s fairy throng, Where the fading willow swings, Where the nest, deserted, ciings, Listen to the brook, that sings; “Summer, sweet, good by !” Woodlands whisper sad farewells; Squirrels frisk and spring, Fatter, patter rain the nuts, For their harvesting. Flocks of merry birds go by, ’Neath the heat’s uncloud and sky, Hopeful, trustful, while we sigh: “Summer, sweet, good-by !” INSTINCTS. Heaven gave the bee desire for sweets, Nor heaven denies her flowers; The thirsty land for moisture waits, Nor heaven withholds its showers. No sooner are the babe’s alarms To mother’s ears express’d He finds a shelter in her arms— His solace at her breast. Nor are the instincts of the heart Less subjects of heaven’s care; Nor would it sympathies impart Merely to perish there— The heart that yearns for kindred mind To share its bliss or pain; That knows to love, shall surely find A heart that loves again. FAMILY FEELING. A great many families miss half of their rightful enjoyment at home from a want which they do not fully under stand nor adequately appreciate.— They know, by contact with some more favored family circles, that some thing is lacking in their own; but too often they accept the situation with with only a sigh of regret, and with out any effort to find out the trouble and remedy it. A close student of home life will not fail to discover that the essential element of home happi ness is thorough confidence and har mony among its inmates. No costly furnishing, no tasteful decorations— nothing ttiat wealth or genius can supply can make a happy home when mutual love aud trust are The poor man, in his daily struggle with hardship aud privation, having a home “where love is,” may smile at trials aud keep bis faith strong to the end. In commenting upon the lack of this home spirit, we do not mean to imply that a majority of homes in our coun try are in constant conflict and uproar from the disagreements of their in mates. We are not writing just for the especial benefit of quarelsome peo ple. There are multitudes of perfectly peaceful aud quiet families who live under the same roof from day to day, year after year, knowing as little of the real life and thought of their homes as if each member of their circle occu pied a separate dwelling. In all es sential points of mutual life there is no contact, no communion. These people sit at the same table three times daily —possibly they bow at the same altar, but they know nothing of each others hearts. This unfortunate state of affairs comes about more frequently than otherwise as a result of parental neg lect. It is too often thought enough that children are kept clean and heal thy, fed and clothed, and not allowed to quarrel with each other. A few more painstaking parents make an ef fort to prevent the larger and strong er children from imposing upon the lessor ones; but very few have any idea of cultivating friendship among their little ones. So it often happens that children And their favorite play mates outside of home; and in time, their best friends aud strongest at tachments are foreign to the home circle. Children so trained, or so left without training, are not ready in ma turer years for the duties of home aud society; aud many hard lessons are needed to teach what should have been learned inseusibly at the firesde in the early years of life. To accustom your children to ob- servo perfect courtesy towards each other, aud to plant among them the genu i of harmony and love that shall bind them together so strongly that distance and laps of years can never separate their hearts, is to fit them for life more perfectly than auy other course of training can do, and it will be worth all the time and patience it costs. Mingle the fear of God with busi ness; it will not abate a man’s indutry, but sweeten it; if he prosper, ho is thankful to God that gives him power to get wealth; if he miscarry he is pa tient under the will and dispensation of the God he fears. It turns the vei'y employment of his calling to a kind of religious duty and exercise of his re ligion, without detriment to it. The courts have decided that if a woman iouds money to her husband she cannot get it back. This decision will not be new to many wives. GAINESVILLE, GA., FBIDAY MOBjNTNXx, OCTOBEB 13, 1876. SOME FACTS ABOUT THE FOREST OF THE WORLD. The forests of Europe are estimated as being 500,000,000 acres in extent, or about 20 per cent, of the whole area of the continent. In North America it is reckoned that 1,460,000,- 000 acres are covered with trees, of which 900,000,000 are in the British North America. In South America the forests occupy 700,000,000 acres.— The total amount for the two conti nents of the New World and Europe gives 6,600,000 geographical miles. The proportion of forest land to the whole area of Europe, as above stated, is computed at 20 per eent; in America, 21 per eent. Supposing, therefore, 20 per cent, to be the proportion in Asia, Africa and Australia, the grand total of the forests of the world would cover a space of over 7,734,000 geographical miles. The areas of .State forests and woodlands are estimated at the follow ing figures in the following European countries: Prussia, 6,200,000 acres; Bavar a, 3,294,000 acres; France 2,700- 000 acres; Austria, 2,230,000 acres; Hanover, 900,000 acres; Wurtemburg, 469,007 acres; Saxony, 394,000 acres; England, 112,376 acres. The range in height of trees varies from the miniature alpine willows of a few inches in height to the stupen dous Wellingtonia, which grows 350 feet, although it is stated that one of the eucalpyti often reaches a height of 450 in Victoria. In Sclavotia a tree called the sapin attains a height of 275 feet, and the umbrella pines of Italy 200 feet. The California big tree is 3aid to girth 96 feet. The de struction of woods and lorests, how ever, is very enormous, and in the ma jority of instances no attempts are being made for the reproduction. In South Africa, we are told, couutless numbers of beautiful forest trees are destroyed and laid waste annually. In New Zeland the 30 per cent of the forest existing in 1830 had sunk to 28 in 1867, and to 18 in 1873, which rate of reduction, if continues, would re sult in total destruction by 1879. In America, in the United States espe cially, the consumption of timber is enormous, and although public atten tion has been called to that matter, and the United States statute of March, 1875, imposes a fine of SSOO or a year’s imprisonment for wanton injury or destruction of trees, and also a line of S2OO or six month’s imprison ment for allowing cattle to injure trees “on national grounds,” the yearly consumption and improvi dent use of timber is almost incredi ble. Although, says the Scientific Ameri can, there are no available statistics to show the exact rate of speecj, with Avhich they are using up the wood supply, it is easy to see that it is be ing done with great rapidity. Taking the legitimate use of lumber, indus tries based on its manufacture consti tute the second in point of magnitude in America, and are only exceeded by the iron interest. About 150,000 per sons are stated to be employed in pro ducing sawed lumber alone; $143,500,- 000 are invested therein, “and 1,395,- 000 lath, 2,265,000,000 shingles and 12,756,000,000 feet of timber are year ly manufactured.” On the secondary interests based on the use of lumber as a raw material, carpentery, cabinet-making, shipbuild ing, etc., millions of people are em ployed. According to Prof. Brewer’s assertion, wood forms the fuel of two thirds of the population, and the par tial fuel of nine-tenths of the remain ing third. Add this to the former estimate, and some idea will be ob tained of tbe enormous drain upon the American foxests that is constant ly in progress. Asa fact, it is well known that in 1871, as many as 10,000 acres of forest were stripped of their timber to supply Chicago with fuel, and yet no attempt is made to re produce. The following from the pen of Horace Greeley is too true, and applicable to this day: “Our people are two widely inclined to shun the quiet ways of productive labor and try to live and thrive in the crooked paths of specula tion and needless traffic. We have deplorably few boys learning trades, with ten times too many anxious to “get into business,” that is to devise some scheme whereby they may live without work. Of the journeymen mechanics now at wotk in this city, we judge that two-thirds were born in Europe; and the disparity is steadily augmenting. One million families are trying to live by selling liquors, tobacco, candy, etc., in our cities, who could be spared therefrom without the slightest public detriment; and if these were transferred to the soil, and set to growing grain, meat, wool, etc., or employed in smelting the metals or weaving the fabrics for which we are still running into debt in Eu rope, our country would increase its wealth at least twice as fast as now, and there would be far less complaint of dull trade and hard times. ADOPT MARRIAGE. Lovers’ quarrels arise from differ ent causes: Sometimes from mere in tensity of affection making undue ex actions, and at others from causes which, properly understood and appre ciated, would warn the parties of the impossibility of their ever living hap pib.together. For instance, a young man \vho_is engaged finds his affianced very jeal ous. Whenever they meet other la dies in society,"she treats him with great coolness. This chills his ardor and makes him discontented, so much so that he is in doubt about marrying her at all. fact come to the conclusion that if he believed she would treat him after marrying in the same way she does now he would never mar ry her. Asa general proposition, it may be laid down that persons will not change essentially after marriage. A belief that they would has been the cause of countless unhappy marriages. They will be just about the same after as before, and, if anything, a little more likely to give way to strong natural proclivities, or peculiarities of temper. If you would not marry a young wo" man, provided you believed she would continue to be as she is now, without any very marked change in her dispo sition, then you do a very perilous thing to marry her at all. The same rule, on the other hand, applies to the young men. Many and many a girl has made shipwreck of her happiness for life by marrying a young man in the confidence that af ter marriage she would wield such an influence over him as to reform his wild habits. She finds her influence diminished rather than increased, after their marriage, and disap pointment, diagreements, aud misery follow. Marry no one with whom, without any change of character, you are not satisfied. GERMAN WIVES. The culinary art forms a part of the education of the women in Germany. The well-to-do ti'adesman like the me chanic, takes pride in seeing his daughters good housekeepers*msSe uA., feet this object the girl, school, which she does fourteen years (*>f age, goes through the ceremony of confirmation and then is placed by her parents with a country gentlemen or in a large fam ily, where she remains one or two years filling what may also be termed the post of servant or doing the work of one. This is looked upon as an ap prenticeship to domestic economy. She differs from a servant, however, in this—she receives no w:*ges; on the contrary, her parents often pay for the care taken of her, as well as her cloth ing. This i3 the first step in her edu cation as housekeeper. She next pas ses on the same conditions, into the kitchen of a private family, or into that of a hotel of good repute. Here she has control of the expenditures of the servants employed in it, and assists personally in the cooking, but is al ways addressed as Miss, and is treated by the family with deference and con sideration. Many daughters of rich families receive similar training, with this difference, however, that they re ceive it in a princely mansion or a royal residence. There is a reigning queen in Germany at the present time who was trained in this way. Conse quently the woman in Germany are perfect models of economy.—Christian Advocate. ADVICE 10 GI11L& An exchange says, “Why will girls runaway and get married ?” “We give it up,” answers tfie Louisville Courier Journal. “But we know a lot here who would be glad enough to stay at home, or jump at the chance to walk of and get married. The boys ain’t around asking them like they did. It takes more money to run one of them new-a-days than it does to run a steamboat, and they can see more fun with a steamboat. Ah ! girls, its your own fault! Swap off your silks and satins for lawns and calicoes, shut up the piano and dive into a wash tub, throw away your fan cy needle-work and tackle a red hot stove in ths' kitchen. Instead of re ceiving Brown, the baker’s son, in the parlor, keep your eye skinned for Bill Burns, the blacksmith’s eon, as he goes home from his work: kiss his dir ty face through a broken pane of glass in the kitchen window, and after a while, when he learns his trade and you know your business, get married, go to housekeeping by yourselves, help each other, live hahpy, raise a family that will be an honor to your names and credit to themselves, die happy, and the angels will not turn their backs upon you up there.” ‘I wish I might die,’ sighed a mid dle aged maiden, as she hung like a limp bolster out of the third story front window on a Sunday afternoon, and espied a man whom she had once coquettishly rejected, placidly propel iug an eighteen dollar baby-cart. ,1 A YOKE FROM THE SOUTH. , ihe following extract from a recent j speech by Hubbard, of ! Texas, maj r be taken as an antidote for the blood-and-thunder doctrines preached by Morton and his fellow patriots : “You Lave been told that we are demons in hate, and gloat in the thought of war and blood. Men of New England men of the great North: will you believe me when, for the two million ©f people whom I rep resent, and the whole South as well, I denounce the utterance as an inhuman slander and aAiamnable and unpardon able lalsehoife against a brave and, God knpv^i,.long-suffering people? Want war! Want bloodshed! Sirs, we are poor—broken in fortune and sick at heart. Had you stood, as I have stood, by the ruined hearth-stones, by the wrecks of fortune, which are scat tered all along the shore, had you seen, as I have seen, the wolf howling at the door of many a once happy home starving, and weeping, over never returning sires and sous who fell with your honored dead at Gettysburg and Manassas you hear, as I have heard, thq throbbing of the great uni vei'sal Southern heart—throbbing for peace and yearning for the old and faithful love between the States; could you have seen, and felt and heard all these things, my countrymen, you would, black or white, Republican or Democrat, Yake me by the hand and swear that the arm thus uplifted against us, and the tongue which utters the great libel in your name, should witlfibr at the socket and be come palsied; forever at the root. I repeat again, let our ‘spears be turned into purning-hooks and our swords beat into plowshares,’ t/ Actoiain lasting the trouble he is likely and good-Avb witb Laban Sarfurt.’ Win! o„ ad * k acl heard. . hope he may come out all right, Waslihg.ost added; ‘but lam fearful.

It is to be deplored that our young people are reluctant to marry because they canuot at once set up expensive or stylish housekeeping. Late mar riages are becoming so largely charac teristics of our social life on these false and selfish grounds of social economy, that society as a whole, and religious life in particular are serious ly damaged. If a man has gained a position that enables him to marry with ordinary prudence, let him marry, and let not the prudence be pressed too hard; young love, if true and god ly, will make early struggle wholesome and joyous. If he has found a woman who will make him happy, let him take her to a home, the loving wife of his youth. His life and his fortune will be better for it. It is currently reported, says the Jacksonville News, that the root of the poke weed, as it is called, if dried, ground to powder, and distributed about the haunts of roaches will give the last one of them on easy death in a few seconds afterwards. If this state ment is a truthful one the man who commences the manufacture aud sale of that powder is just as sure of an in dependent fortune as though he had every dollar of it in bank, subject to his order. There is nothing easier than to edit a blackguard paper, and nothing more difficult than to get up a newspaper free from foulness and blackguardism. Fish women aud bar-room loafers are skilled in the art of bandying epithets and bespattering each other with dirty words. It requires no brains to do this; but it does require both heart and brain to print a newspaper that a decent man or woman can read with out a blush.—Greeley. The Attorney General has just made a decision that will interest a large number of people. He has decided that gold and silver watches worn upon the person are to be considered as wearing apparel and not subject to taxation. The boards of control and review are instructed to strike out this item from the returns of property made by the assessors. I TROOPS THAT ARE NOT WANTED IN THE SOUTH. [From the Kansas City Times.] j Company Dof the Eleventh United j States Infantry arrived in this city on Sunday, and were obliged to lay over until Monday. They were from Fort Worth, or some other post in Texas, and on their way to the Indian coun try in Dakota. A meddlesome Radi cal politician met the boys soon after they had pitched their tents on a hill above the depot, and called out: ‘Hurrah, boys, for Hayes!’ Not a solitary cheer responded. One of the sergeants stepped out of the crowd and remarked: ‘You have made a mistake; we don’t cheer for Hayes; we are Tilden men.’ ‘What! you do not mean to say you oppose the men who give you food and clothing!’ ‘Yes, we do. We are tired of Grant aud his gang, aud as for our food and clothes, we will excuse him for that if he will let us loose. ’ ‘Oh, nonsense, boys; you don’t mean to go back on Grant and Hayes?’ ‘Yes, we will go back on any man who keeps two-thirds of our boys in blue down in ‘Dixie’ to keep white men down beneath the niggers, and who sends a handful of us North to be killed and scalped by the Indians, armed with guns and bullets furnish ed us by Grant’s brother, Orvil, and his deputy post traders; aud I will bet you a keg of beer that three fourths of my company are Tilden men.’ ‘I will take that bet.’ A vote was taken, and the vote in Company D, Eleventh United States Infantry, stood: Tilden, 40; Hayes, 4. th e r rLuA i L FL,L TIUiNUS * FOdisposition is that i SiiviJ 6 to say “hateful” Captam We jire of saying from the > the pastfe with such is a widow who ’miles southiJiug vel -y Captain.

Yet they are worse than so many blows. How many sleepless nights have such mean at tacks caused tender-hearted mortals! How after them one awakes with ach ing eyes and head, to remember that speech before everything—that bright, sharp, well aimed needle of a speech, that probed the very centime of your soul! HOME INFLUENCE. If the father chiefly talks “money,” ‘ money,” at home, he generally rears a family in the worship of the “al mighty dollar.” If he talks mainly horses, games, and races, he breeds a batch of sportsmen. If fashion is the family altar, then the children are of fered up as victims upon the altar.— If a man makes his own fireside attrac tive, he may reasonably hope to an chor his own children around it. My neighbor Q. makes himself the con stant evening companion of his boys. The result is that his boys are never found in bad places. But if a father hears a clock strike eleven in a club house, or the play house, he need not be surprised if his boys hear it strike twelve iu the gambling room or the drinking saloon. If he puts the bottle on his own table, he need not be sur prised if a drunken son staggers in by and-by at his front door. When the best fx-iend that childhood aud youth ought to have becomes their foe, their home becomes the starting post for moral ruin. It takes a sound body to make a sound mind. Work is not vulgar. So long as the brain needs the juices of the body, so long will bard work be the fundamental element in the devel opment of the mind. Business is eminently fit for a man of genius, and to earn a livelihood is the best way to sharpen one’s wits. Besides, business affairs offer better opportunities at present than the so called Therefore our youth should be tlxor oughly and practically trained for business, in order that they may suc ceed and become a credit to whatever calling they may adopt. At the same time they should be educated not to despise labor; foi', after all, it is only by hard work that we achieve any suc cess worthy of name. Lazy people are a gfeat pest. They are as bad as dies, always getting into somebody’s cream and molasses. BEAUTY. e talk of pretty women as if they, of all others, were the elect; as if wo man’s sole claim to admiration rested on her possession of fine eyes or luxu riant hair. “Is she pretty ?’’ is the first question asked concerning anew acquaintance, as though that embraced the whole subject. A pretty woman, in the private lexicon of masculinity, signifies a woman interesting from whatever cause. Who lias not known women to be called pretty that could hardly boast of a single handsome feature ? Who has not been acquain ted with those enjoying a wide repu tation for prettiness that had almost any other than a physical charm. She who has a distinctly graceful manner, or an elegant air, or fine tact, or a tal ent for conversation, or quick sympa thies, or cordial ways, or the art of listening well, albeit plain in face and of ordinary figure, is frequently styled pretty, and the adjective is repeated until it is fastened upon and constant ly associated with her. Merely pretty women do not rule society'—never did and never will. When beauty is allied to pleasant manners, or accomplish ments, tact, quick wit, then indeed it is all powerful; otherwise, a really plain woman who has conspicuous graces of mind and manner will prove more than a match for her beautiful, insipid sisters. EAT TO LIVE. An old gentleman on the verge of ninety recently told his friends that no one ever repented of eating too little. He had been ailing and weakly up to twenty-two years, stuffing himself and overloading his stomach by advice of his friends and physicians. Then he determined to adopt the other course and eat less. He discovered the secret of knowing when ho had enough, and the faculty of restraining the demands of his appetite. ‘Eat to live’ was the principle that made his life a physical success, not ‘live to eat..’ Here indeed is the great secret of a great deal that is amiss with many of us. We are in the habit of eating too much—more than our digestive powers can tackle, aud that which is not assimilated more or less poisons. The system becomes overcharged and gives any latent ten dency to disease within us every facil ity for developing itself. The question is not so much what to eat as what quantity to eat, and nothing but a sharp lookout kept by ourselves can give us the answer. It is astonishing to see how well a may live on a small income, who has a handy and industrious wife. Some men live and make a far better ap pearance on six or eight dollars a week than others do on eighteen dol lars. The man does his part well, but his wife is good for nothing. She will even upbraid her husband for not liv ing in as good style as her neighbor, while the fault is entirely her own.— His neighbor has a neat, capable and industrious wife, and that makes the difference. So look out, young men, before you go into matrimony, for it is a lottery iu which most men can hold only one ticket, and if that turns out a blank, your whole life had better be a blank too. Luckily, no one need go into the wedded state with his eyes closed, as is the case with lotteries, and we judge all who are sensible enough to use their optics may draw a prize. The Philadelphia Times says: Iu fixing the responsibility for disturban ces of the peace in South Carolina we must not lose sight of the fact that every Department of the State Gov ernment is in the hands of the Repub lican party. The Governor is Repub lican, the Legislature is Republican, the Judiciary i3 Republican and the militia is composed entirely of colored Republicans. If peace caixnot be maintained the Republicans are re sponsible. If Gov. Chamberlain is not able to maintain the peace he may invoke the aid of the courts, order out the militia, or convene the Legislature, in full confidence that either will do his bidding, But it serves his pur pose better to fan the flames of strife until there is a plausible pretext for calling upon the Federal Government for assistance in quenching them.— Peace is the last thing these carpet baggers want. They live upon disor der. A German philosopher, whose confi dence in a friend was grossly betrayed by the latter’s conduct in runing away with his wife and the contents of the money-drawer was heard moralizing something after the following style: “Yell! veil! So longer a man lives, so more he finds by gracious! I did tink dat Jake had by himself some sense, but ven lie go avay mit Catterina, I tink he ish nothing better as a fool." A poor soldier, whose person is sup ported by two wooden legs, was met by a friend, who thus accosted him: My dear fellow, I congratulate you upon having two wooden legs.’ ‘Why so?’ said the veteran. ‘Because you can never catch cold in your feet. F E A T H E It S. Good breeding is the blossom of good sense. The more you contract debts the more they expand. Wool raising has become an impor tant industrial feature of Oregon. Weak men are the hardest kind to control. They have no more backbone than an angle-worm. Dispatches from Colorado and New Mexico report that a serious Indian outbreak is threatened. No man can become thoroughly ac quainted with his family history with out running for office. Every one who works at some use ful occupation makes the time better for others as well as for himself. Joseph Pitman, the last survivor of Napoleon’s British jailors, died lately at St. Helena, aged ninety-three years. The oldest tombstone in Trinity Church-yard, New York, is that of Samuel Chureher, who died August 5, 1681. A colossal fortune awaits the man who invents some method of making two joints of a stovepipe fit into each other. Mrs. Pollard, widow of the author of “The Lost Cause,” is to stump the State of California for the Democratic ticket. NO. 41 An editor’s excuse for discontinuing the publication of his paper was, that everybody else stopped the paper, and he thought he would. ‘What is the best attitude for self defense'?’ asked a pupil of a well known pugilist. ‘Keep a civil tongue in your head,” was the reply. I know lots of folks who have got just brains enough to spoil them. If they had less they' might possibly amount to something. About one hundred thousand able bodied men are sitting in the bar-rooms of the country at the present time shouting lustily for reform. A cunning Kentucky hog chews off grape vines growing from a tree, and holding one end in the mouth swings itself over the fence into a cornfield. An exchange thinks that tfie first step toward wealth is the choice of a good wife. That’s so. When a man marries a fair young wife his fortune’s made. A young lady, after reading atten tively the title of a novel, called ‘The last man,’ exclaimed, ‘bless me, if such a thing were ever to happen, what would become of the women.’ It has been discovered that the New England lady who spelled 650 words out of the word “Congregationalist,’’ has never learned to make a loaf of bread out of flour, yeast and water. ‘I doesn’t want no lawyer; I’se gwine fer to tell de troof dis time,’ is what a regular customer at the mayor’s court told his honor when that functionary inquired if he had engaged legal as sistance. It is often hard to distinguish be tween praise and flattery; the one may be honest, the other never is. Hon est praise will strengthen any man, but flatter will weaken anything except a mule. Some amusements was caused, not long ago, in au English court by a fe male witness, who on oath being ad ministered, repeatedly kissed the clerk instead of the book. Tt was some time before she was made to understand the proper—or at least the legal— thing to do. The Republican national platform in 1860 contained the following plank: ‘We denounce the lawless invasion by armed force of the soil of any State or territory, no matter under what pre text, as among the greatest crimes.” Matters have changed since. An educated and enquiring foreign er writes of the American system: This seemingly complicated system reduces itself to a beautifully simple and symmetrical formula. The office holders elect the Congressmen, and the Congressmen appoint the office holders. This is the real American Constitution in a nut shell.” The melancholy days have come when the merry, buisy little fly, chill ed by the morning air, crawls under the upper crust of the apple-pie, and irridates the sullen pastry with the gleam of his dying smile, when you turn back the crust to sprinkle in a lit tle more sugar. A girl screamed in a lecture au dienc in LaFayette, Oregon. Then all the other girls screamed. General consternation ensued, and a rush was made for the doors; people were bruised, clothes torn, ami the room at length was emptied. The first scream er had seen a rat. She used to meet him at the gate with a kiss, and a smile like morning light, but now she comes to the door in a dingy calico wrapper, and shoes down at the heel, shades her eyes with her hand, looks earnestly to make sure its him, and as he walks up to the house, tired and careworn, in quires with a voice that seems to need oiling: ‘did you bring that butter ?’ This note from a Chicago girl to her lover was made public through a law suit: “Dear Sarnie, Pap’s watemillions is ripe. Come and bring some poetry like yon brought afore. My love for you will ever flow like water running down a tater row. Bring a piece as long as your arm, and have a heap more about them raving ringlets and other sweet things. Come next Sun -1 day and don’t fule me.
