THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
Its Varied Beauties Described In a
Eurst of Rhetoric.
I have read of the wonder of the
ancient world, the hanging gardens
of Babylon, which Nebuchadnezzar
reared in graceful terraces high
above the brazen gates of the city
to remind his Aledian wife of her
mountain home, and 1 have read in
the “Odyssey” of that land of de
light, the island of the lotus eaters,
of which Tennyson draws this beau
tiful picture:
How sweet it were, hearing the dowa
wai ! stream, with half shu't eyes, to ever
seem falling asleep in a half dream!
But certainly the garden spot of
the modern world is in the Missis
sippi valley, with its sun kissed
mountains and broad, rolling prai
ries; the paradise of the twentieth
century civilization there in oar
magnificent, fertile and majestic
Missouri, with her’blue sky, her pel
lucid streams, her balmy air, her gor
geous sunsets and her everlasting
hills. VYe may visit the famed gal
leries of the world and feast our
aesthetic tastes upon the master-
Raphael, Rembrandt and
Angelo, Reynolds and Van Dyck, but
no painter's brush ever has or ever
can produce on canvas half the glo
ry and majesty and sublimity of an
autumn sunset in the Ozark hills,
with the golden sunlight gilding
the treetops and throwing over and
about the variegated foliage its soft
and mellow radiance.
Beethoven and Mozart, AYcndels
sohn and Handel and Wagner have
poured forth a flood of melody and
harmony which will delight the
cars of mankind while civilization
lasts, but it can never inspire that
feeling of buoyancy and exhilara
tion, that bubbling joy and glad
ness, which is felt by the barefoot
boy as he listens to the morning
song of the mocking bird, the robin
and the lai k as they flit from limb
•j
to limb, vvliile the sunlight glistens
on the dew and the very air he
breathes is- full of life and glad
ness.— From Speech of Robert La
mar of Missouri in House of Repre
sentatives.
No matter how beautiful a man’s
wife is, lie' never wishes she was
two-faced.*

A Subtle Plea.
An old negro was brought before
a justice in Dover. It seemed that
Uncle Alose had fallen foul of a
bulldog while in the act of enter
ing the henhouse of the dog's own
er.
“Look here, Uncle Alose,” the
justice said, “didn’t I give you ten
days last month for this same
thing? Wasn’t it the same hen
house you were trying to get in?
What have -you to say for your
self ?”
Uncle Alose scratched his Lead.
“Marse Willyum, yo’ sent me-ter de
pen fer tryin’ ter steal some chick
ens, didn’t ye?”
“Yes; that was the charge.”
“An’ don't the law say yo’ can’t
be charged twice with the same
’fense ?”
“That no man shall be twice
placed in jeopardy for the identical
act, yes.”
“Den, sah, yo’ das hab ter let me
go, sah. Ah war after de same
chickens, Bah!”
Seek the Truth.
There is a path that leads to
truth so surely that any one who
will follow it must needs reach the
goal whether his capacity be great
or smalL And there is one guiding
rule by which a man will find this
path and keep himself from stray
ing when he has found it. This
golden rule is, Give um/ualified as
sent to no propositions but those
the truth of which is so clear and
distinct that they cannot be doubt-,

A Wonderful Fellow.
There are many kinds of celeb
rity. When Haydon, the painter,
visited Stratford lie held forth
about Shakespeare to some rustics
he met in a wayside inn. They told
him that Stratford then contained
“another wonderful fellow, ' one
John Cooper.”
“Why, what has he done ?”
“Why zur, I’ll tell ’ee. He’s
lived ninety years in this here town,
man and boy, and never had the
toothache!”
