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.

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-, ed.—Descartes. 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!”
