But the boy’s best and most patient frieud is graudnfa. Wlmt a picturo of forbearance, love, gentleiyss nnd eagerness to help the boy out of all his troubles and scrapes! There she sits the swcet-faced old soul, as perfect a type of the saiut as heaven can lend to earth, her speech .softened like the low south wind and her heart running over with gentleness and untiriug pa tience. What a tenderness there is in grandma’s touch, as she smoothes back the hair from the hot forehead and bathes the burning tcmplesof the fever tossed boy! What a dear treasure she is and how tenderly the boy, Mary's boy, puts’his arms about her as he luys his head in her lap and listens to her sto ries of the time when she was a girl ami how grandpa came a courtingand how awkward she was and so say! And then tho boy drops off to sleep and grandma bends over and imprints a-kies upon his half closed lips nnd whispers the prayer: “God bless the hoy and keep him from all harm.’’ To grandma the hoy goc3 with all his wants. She is never too busy to refuse to help him out as mother often is. Mas he lost his top or mis placed his school hooks? Grandma will find them. He tells her all his little confidences, sure of such sympa thy as no one else can give. To her he unfolds all his plans, knowing thnt she will give encouragement because they are his. To grandma goes the trembling little transgressor with his confession oi wrong doiug for she can explain to mother so much better than he could, how lie meant to obey, but ‘before lie thought’ he did the forbid den thing. God bless the clear old grandma! THE GEORGIA HEDGE COMPANY. Merits of our Hedge. !t is the cheapest lent'*. It is mo5t durable. It is not all'eeted by lire, wind or Hood. It ha*; no doMs to rot.
