I’ve often reflected, in deep contem

Why Christians, or they who pro
fess to be so,
Who tell of great mansions, of high
admiration,
Where scenes are delightful, and
pure waters flow,
Of beauty, surpassing man’s imagina
tion.
Dazzling in grandeur, resplendent-
ly go.
Yet not a Christian of high or low-
station
On earth can be found, who is will
ing to go.
They say lliere is pleasure and great
consolation,
A balm for affliction, misfortune ami
woe,
That rich f Iks and poor, in this grand
habitation,
Are all on a level, not like here be
low;
That coinforts unheard of, beyond ex
pectation
Are there everlasting, and gentle
winds blow,
Yet not a Christian of high or low
station,
Is eager or anxious or willing to go.
There unlmunded bliss is of end
less duration,
There departed spirits no sorrow
shall know,
And all is delightful, through God’s
ordination,

It would be dUfc-ult to tad a
pleasanter sight than Sirs. Kvl
»ey's tea talkie, as her family gath
erect arouse! it one lovely evening
late iu Msy Tlie weather was
warm enough for open windows to
give a view of a flower garden
neatly laid out, with buds atul
leaves promising a bright display
a little later. A lilac bush in full
flower sent perfume into the din
ingroom, where Mrs. Kelsey,
Philip and Susie war*enjoying
biscuits, radishes aad the very
first strawltcrries.
And the blight, pleasant room
lost nothing of its charm from the
faces in it—the cheerful mother,
with her soft gray hair and mild
blue eyes; Phil, a tall, suu-bruwn
ed farmer, with the kecu dark
eyes and the broad forehead that
told of brains, anti cultivated
brains, too; and Suaie, not vet
nineteen, with her mother's I due
eyes, but dark, short curls, shad
ing a placid, lovely face, child like
and womanly at osce.
‘Mother,’ she said, daintily dip
ping great red berries into sugar,
-1 had a letter from Miriam Ford
this morning, and she wants me to
find a pleasant boarding bouse at
Well ford for her. Her brother has
Item very ill, and wants to spend
a few weeks in the country, and
Miriam will come with hitn.'
‘Well, child,’ M rs. Kelsey said,
'Hunt's folks lake summer board
ers, and Sumer’s and Hitchcock’s,
ami plenty more.’
‘1 was thinking,’ Susie said, the
color deepening a little iu her
cheeks, ‘we could take thjin.’
‘Susie f cried both Mjt% Kelsey
and Phil. ^
Susie's voice trcmbleda little,
blit she said as steadily as she
could:
•I know you expect Cousin
Sophie and her children, as usual,
mother, to make the hot weather
one long misery to you.’
•H’ui!' said Phil. ‘I begin to
see light?
•I made up my mind last year,’
continued Susie, ‘that keeping a
free boarding bouse lor Cousin
every year. Then Cousin Sophie,
by dint of coming for several suni-
m«rs, bad established a certain
claim that ifr jarred upon her
aunt's sense of hospitality to deny.
She did honestly want to bring
forward some strong argument to
answer Susie, but found none.
She could not sar that the fen-
very cheap presents Cousin Sophie
had made her were equivalent to
tiie expense of feeding five people
for several weeks, anil the waste
and destruction four active, un
controlled boys caused, when they
ran about unchecked and full of
holiday spirits. She eould not
even plead charity, for her steee til this summer. You should see
was far better olT in worldly
wealth than she was herself.
So, reluctantly, with her usual
cheery face and voice, she gave
Susie |H-rmission to write to
Miriam Ford, as she wished, anct
she herself wrote as gentle and
kind a letter to Cousin Sophie as
circumstances jierinitted, receiv
ing in reply a letter that roused
even her sweet temper into say
ing:
‘Sophie has made her last visit
here?
And Susie went singing about
the bouse, getting the spare rooms
into dainty order for her school
friend and invalid brother with a
heartiness' she had never before
given to the preparation.
Snowy curtains, long taken
down to escape the rough usage
of the boys, were most artistically
drain'd over wiudows, protected
watching to save her mother, who
lias some heart trouble. I wonder
if yon knew that she makes all
your custarda and mufllns, and
only lets Mary do the rough work
about the kitchen.’
‘She has a sweet face.’ Ernest
said quietly. ‘I hope to see more
of it when I can go down stairs.’
Oddly enough, another brother
and sister, in a distant hay field,
where Phil. Kelsey, under a giant
oak tree, was enjoying the lunch
Susie hid just brought him, were
talking of their boarders.
“I always thought Miriam Ford
was a fine lady,'’ said Susie, “un-
their house, Plul. Mr. Ford is
very wealthy, and I do not believe
Miriam ever did a bit of work in
her life; but she helps me to make
cake and preserves, and will go
almul the place with me every
where.” —
“Anything so pretty as her face
in your white sun-bonnet,” said
Phil, “is not often seen. And she
seems to have put away all the
finery she wore when she first
came.”
“I guess you don't know hew
fine her plain dresses are,” laugh
ed Susie; “cambrics and lawns
sut-li as wc do not often sec down
l*cre. But they are short, and can
lie washed; so she lias hung up
silks, tissues and trains for the
present.”
It was a day of jubilee wbeu
Ernest Ford came to dinner for
the first time, and his welcome
by mosquito nets, and shaded by j was as cordial as if he had been

with motherly interest, upon see
ing the iuvalid comfortably be
really, what he almost felt him

An extra touch was given to all

filled the great howl with roses for

the occasion by fresh ribbons ii|xm

Mrs. Kelsey handed him over to

June, July. August were over.
Apples and pears were showing a

go to the city last winter, anil
Cousin Sophie wrote to you that ; ,v
she was very sorry her only spare
room was occupied, I concluded
that you and I would not occupy
one small room this summer, to
give up your comfortable room to
her and our spare rooms to the
hoys. And I also concluded that
your headaches should not be iu
creased by the racket of the chil
dren.’
‘As yon have spoken of it, Sn
sie,’ Phil said, ‘I will mention that
those boys make more work on
the farm than two men could per
form. Chasing hens to death is a
favorite amusement, and they
trample down everything in their
way. They mind noliody. I have
said nothing because I thought
mother liked to hare Sophie
here.’
‘Do yon, mother? Candidly,
docs her visit give you any plea*
aref
Mrs. Kelsey looked troubled,
but did not answer.
‘Now when Consin Martha
comes over from Camden,’ said
Susie, ‘she does give us all a real,
hearty pleasure. And beside that,
see how she helps you, mother,
sewing and preserving and pick
ling.’
‘But, Susie, child, I don’t ask
visitors to work for me. Mary
and I can do all there is to do.’
‘1 know that, mother, but it is
tiie wish to help, the cheery com
panionship Cousin Martha gives
yon. that makes her so delightful.
How many patches and darns did
she bring j’o« to do for her boys?
Now this summer I am going to
beg you to try the other plan.
Let me write to Miriam that we
have two pleasant rooms at her
service, and to Cousin Sophie that
our spare rooms are occupied for
the summer.’
Not at once did Mrs. Kelscy
coDseut. Taking boarders was a
sort of admission of |>overty in
her mind, though neighbors far
more wealthy than herself did it
We had better make tea for din
ner, Susie. What was the matter
til him?’
•Overwork at college. Miriam
says, nnd tiien taking up business
with bis father without any rest
between. He had typhoid fever,
but Miriam says be needs nothing
now but change of air.’
But Mrs. Kelsey's kind heart
could not let an invalid depend
upon such a prescription alone,
and Ernest Ford found himself
pitted and nursed as he had nev
er been since his own mother hud
gone to her long rest. The most
careful quiet all around him it
snred long morning naps, the
freshest, most tempting food the
farm afforded was daintily served
upon bis tray, and little lunch
eons were constantly tempting
his appetite.
Miriam, half pouting, wholly
delighted, declared 6be was of no
use whatever to her brother, and
followed Susie about, with keen
interest in the country life around
her.
‘I never felt at home in our
country places belore,’ she said,
•ami the parlor or porch, our own
rooms and the dining-rooms
bounded our freedom oi the house;
but it is delightful to pull beans
and peas, hunt for eggs, pick
strawberries and skim milk; and
it is worth anything nnd every
thing, Ernest, to see the color
coming back into your face,’
‘You could spare me some of
yours,’ ber brother said, pinching
the glowing cheeks; ‘and yon arc
positively getting fat, Miriam.’
■Do yon know,’ hit sister said,
nestling down beside him, ‘I nev
er half appreciated Susie till now?
She was the best scholar at the
Hill Seminary, and turned us sll
green with envy by tbe way she
walked off with prises; bat I never
imagined any girl could make
such a housekeeper; and she takes
the whole care of the vegetables
and fruit. There is a man to do
the work, but Susie directs and
plans it all. And she is always
merit of‘hands across and change
partners, for when your pretty
daughter becomes mine as well, I
am requested to leave Miriam in
the place to console Phillip. I
am afraid your butter and poultry
will not fare as well, however.’
‘I aui not sure of that!’ Mrs.
Kelsey said. *A\’e all agreed,
necks ago, that Miriam was sure
ly intended for a farmer’s wife.—
And,' she added, very seriously,
you must not think, Mr. Ford,
that your daughter need do the
actual work. Susie and I like to
help Mary, but Philip is a rich
man and Miriam can have as
many servants as she likes. Wc
did not take boarders from neces
sity. It was a freak of Susie’s.’
But when the spare rooms were
vacated Susie brought down a
swollen pocket book.
‘Now, mother,' she said, glee
fully, ‘you can have a velvet cloak,
ifyon like, as fine as Consin So
phie’s. The butcher is paid, and
Philip tells me we have not con
sumed half the eggs, milk, poul
try, vegetables, butter and fruit
wc liave done in previous sum
mers. when they were not paid for,
so we may consider this clear
profit. Fourteen weeks, at twentv
dollars a week—count that np.

“Nonsense!” Mrs. Kelsey said.
“What do I want of velvet cloaks?
That is yours and Phil’s, for you
had all the trouble.”
‘I had nine,’ said Phil, gravely,
‘it was all pleasure to me. Keep
it, Susie, to buy your stockings
for the wedding. And remember,
Snsie, you and Ernest are pledged
to come every summer to fiil the

Dear Enterprise Jt Appeal:
We are gratified by reading in
yonr columns items from different
[lortions of the county, and we
would like to say a word or two in
our own behall, in order to let yon
know where we are, and what we
are doing. Our neighiiorhood is
in the ssulheast i>ortion of the
county, five miles south of Wards,
and lakes its name from the Mis
sionary Baptist church erected
bore about one year ago. We
have been greatly blessed by the
rains, and crops of all descriptions
are good. There was a good crop
of oats made, and corn is fully up
to our cxjiectatians—many fields
will make twenty and twenty-five
bushels to the acre. There is a
flattering prospect for cotton, al
though the rust may be seen in
some places. It tbe rains contin
ue a tew weeks, we will make n
bountiful crop of potatoes, peas,
and sugarcane.
A protracted meeting ol ten
days’ duration, closed last Sun
day, the 2d. at Friendship church.
God, in His goodness, has seen
proper to bless us with an ntiL
pouring of His spirit. The church
lias been greatly revived, and the I
entire community seemed to feel
deeply interested. There- was
thirty one accessions to the church
—ten by letter, ami twenty-one by
baptism. The meeting was con
ducted by the pastor. Rev. J. G
Corley, who has endeared himself
to the church and community l>y
his earnest and faithful discharge
of duty.
The health of our neighborhood
is good.
We are glad to welcome Mr.
Robert Sanderlin into our midst,
who purchased from Arthur A-
Son their farm for $1SJ0. This
place sold three years ago for
$700. B. P. Crenshaw bought
Mrs. Annie Edwards’ place last
week for U-n dollars per acre. W.
T. Melton refused aq offer of ten
dollars per acre for his place. Fie
queatly we have visitors looking
for land, and they universally
sjK'ak with praise of the thrifty
condition of our section.
Nearly every farmer is building
new houses of some kind, and
clearing lands, show ing very clear
ly that we are on the up grade.
We could say more, hut w ill not
trespass on your valuable space.
More anon. Fkifndsiiii-.

For a Life - lime.
I have suffered for years witli
an eruption—breaking out at in
tervals all over my body. Al
times my bands would be useless,
which were both painful and an
noting. All other remedies had
been exhausted, when my mer
chant here who handles S. S. S.,
induced me to try Swift’s Specific.
I tried one bottle and could see
that the sores on my hands were
drying up. After the use of sev
oral bottles I was entirely cured.
My skin is now as fair and smooth
as that of a new-born Italic. This
eruption was hereditary, as iny
father was similarly affected. He
has also been entirely cured. 1
take great pleasure in recoin titend
ing it to others who are similar^'
affected. I can vouch for it. It
is all it claims to be. I consider it
a God send to this generation, and
my house shall never be without
it. J. D. Ross.

A Florida orange grower writes
to a friend at Lincoln Neb., as
follows; “I want somebody to eat
up all my oranges and garden
stuff. Last season I shipped 80
crates of oranges and about a car
load of truck and melons. My
commission merchant at the end
of the season sent me a bill of
#53.45 to balance accounts. Now,
I am not discouraged. This is a
lovely country, and I propose to
slay here, but, by tbunder, I pro-
pose to economize. So I want
enough good fellows to come down
here to eat my stuff and save the
expense of selling it.”
About two hundred and fifty
years ago all the land of New York
City and county was purchased
for $24. Yet if this sum had lieen
put at G |ier cent, interest, com
pounded annually, it would now
amount to more than the value of
all the property in the city and
countv of New York.
Facts Fur The Carlo**.
The loagest legitimate word ia
the English language ia disprn-
portionableness.
Formerly in great house*, as ta
some colleges, there were movable
stocks for the correction of tiM
servants.
It is stated as a carious circum
stance that sheep placed on Key
West island lose their wool the
second year.
It was formerly the custom ia
England to make people convicted
of perjury wear papers, while un
dergoing punishment, descriptive
of tlieir offence.
“Flinch and Judy” is a contrac
tion from Pontius and Judas. It
is a relic ofan old "miracle play,”
in which the actors were Pontius
Pilate and Judas Iscariot.
It is a peculiarity of the Red
River Valley that often pure water
is found at a depth of a few feet,
and a lew rods away at the same
depth tiie water will contain so
much alkali that it cannot be
used.
Pigs have been known to live to
the age of twenty, and the rhinoc
eros to twenty nine. A horse has
been known to live to tiie age of
sixty-two, but aveiages twenty-
live to thirty. Camels sometimes
live to the age of 100; stags are
very long lived; sheep seldom ex
ceed the age of ten; cows live
about fifteen yearr.
A plant allied to the lilies of-
• lie valley, the Convallaria poly-
gonatum, is a remarkable traveler.
Every year a knot forms ujion it*,
root, and lliesc knots drag the
plant about an inch annually from
its original position, so that in a
period of twenty j ears the plant
will have traveled about twenty
inches from its first location.
A Mexican historian makes a
new attempt to show that America
was discovered in the fifth cen
tury. A. D., by a party of Budd
hist monks from Afgnnhistan, of
whom one, Uwui Shan, returned
to Asia after an absence of forty-
one years. A short account of
the land which be visited, sup
posed to lie Mexico, was included
in the official history of China.
There is proof that Hwni Shan
actually visited some unknown
Eastern region, and the tradi
tions of Mexico contain an ac
count of the arrival of monks.
The oldest bank note probably
in existence in Europe is one pre
served in the Asiatic museum at
St. Petersburg. It dates from the
year 139'J B. C. and was issued by
the Chinese government. It can
lie proved from Chinese elironi-
lers that as early as 2697 B. C.
hank notes were current in China
under the name of “flying money.”
The bank note preserved at St.
Petersburg bears the name of the
Imperial Bank, date and number
of issue, signature of a mandarin,
and contains even a list of the
punishuienls indicted for forgery
of notes. This relic of 4,000 years
ago is probably- written and said to
have been introduced in China
only in the year 1G0 A. D.

The mean elevation of this

The meanest man on earth is

It was rather annoying, to gay
