Flowers by the Roadside This is a land in which we do not stop long enough by the road side, or wander down the quiet by-paths, anyhow. It is not meet that men and women should drive and push and travel at top speed all the time no matter how wor thy the goal, nor how impelling the urge. Attainments are so of ten barren when one reaches them, and so often comes the bit ter reflection that there were so many flowers, so many resting places, so many meadows to play along the way, but all ignored; how much was lost that can nev er come again! So it is with these flower gardens we propose to plant along the ways of the city. If some may be tempted to linger by them fora moment, if even they only rest the eye of the has tening wayfarer as he brushes past them with but a glance in his hurry, they will not have been in vain.-The Macon Telegraph.
