The Present, linked in bonds of love with the Past, gave promise to tfie Future that the Confederate Vet efen will live in history and in sfory when Time’s effacing fingers ^snall have swept away the monu ments that record his deeds. It was a happy day—full of love and memories, and fragrant with the incense of the past. A large number of old soldiers were there—the special guests, as well they should be, of these their sons, who know how they should be honored. V. ■And the Sons were there—a large numfetrfrom ,11 Paris o, Ik. county, worthy sops of brave sires. And the ladies, I too, in large num , bers, to and , . honor the ,. came grace occasion.

This has been the storms along the coast, as to the government report, put the condition of the abyut 71 per cent. There" thing our farmers should however, and that is rushing A Study in Nature. The sun was just rising wlu-n 1 walked out into the yard the other morning, and saw innumer able little silver circles, of beau, tiful and exquisite workmanship, strung from tree to tree and bush to bush. It was a pretty sight, with the dew drops sparkling like gems all over these curious little patterns of lace work, in the first rays of the morning. In each piece that had been hung out there, for the delecta tion of him who would rise to see it, the same general design seemed to have been followed— showing most obviously the hand of one great architect who de vised the plan of them all. There was a large circle, and then a smaller one within, and so on, and so on, circle after circle, until it reached the center—the home of the builder. And these circles wore bound together by cross sec tions of the same tine work, to hold it all in perfect place. It was a marvelously constructed piece of work, in truth, and, strange to say, there was not a single Haw in it all. Every cir cle was beautifully perfect—even to the smallest one; and every cross section was exactly right, the same distauce apart, and so placed as to make the edifice strong and artisfic. hard thing A circle is a to draw—it is the very symbol of perfection; the ancients held that it was the likeness of God him self. But man could never draw one circle like this—much less a hundred or more, in perfectly de creasing or increasing propor tions. And yet, here was fliis tiny little builder of the yard, w’ho had, alone and unaided, and suspended in the air, drawn a piece of work that would put the greatest mathematician to shame. 1 marveled as I looked upon t he little workman—this little crea ture of such perfect design, as he sat there, surrounded by his mag nificent structure. Talk about your architecture—your Gothic, and Corinthian, and all the others that came to us from the Greeks; but here was something that sur passed them all. It was the very perfection of beauty—it was art absolute. Talk about your tern windows upon gorgeous altars— but here was one, builded in a night, that caught the first rays through oriels of silver and gold,. and there, too, sat the little priest, as of old, in the innermost sanctu ‘ , irv ot the temple But this was not all. I was soon to' see that Ibis structure, s gos l , samer in the morning ot built fo , beauty thought—if Th^re was deeper design | lu the I may call it go _ of the worker . Everv rouiu i in that structure, ’ every section, ’ An( / well; ah ‘ V y ell did it serve it ! Soon an unsuspecting victim came flying by,and became entangled in the outer edge of the intricate web Inst . mtJy it seemed tohe tele graphed down to the little priest wim cat worshimno-the he°simile-and sun-if I may continue t he came with lightning speed over one of the lines, the most, direct, rout d took the stranger in c i uu .„ e> Gathering the victim in his arms, he carried it down to his home, apparently tor pur poses 0 f sacrifice. Just at this instant, however, a message of “ the first victim on the chancel rail, he hurried after the second. But when he seized tins one, be no t return home as before—but, evidently being in a h » rry ’, °, n amount, of the one he had left,, lie dropped straight through the air until within several inches of the cen ter, and then climbed dexter- ously to the altar, where he de posited victim number two. No sailor in all this world could have climbed the rigging of his ship with Half the dexterity that this little creature climbed his silvery web. It was wonderful, it, was marvelous to see it. I stood there and watched him for a long time—him ami his coin panions of the yar( |. Some lmd not completed their structures, and they were working most as siduously—round upon round, getting closer each time to the center, working and weaving, with all the perseverance of Penelope, and I daresay with much more of genius, And everything that little I saw—the structure, the creature himself, and his manner 0 f procedure, all indicated har >™ny, and science and law He made no mistakes, that 1 cou id see —j^g genius for work, and Ins genius for entrapping and It was a pretty thing to stand there and see the perfect little reign of law j n ^at tiny creature*: and in the airy and beautiful fabric that he had built for the morning sun to gild with perish its glory, be au( i then to wither and fore that sun should fade away. - When I walked out into the yard that night, the silver circles were all gone from the trees— but. over in the west there was a silver sickle in the sky, and it, too, was in the form and fashion of a circle, as if the same archi- tect had planned the tinv struc tures in the yard and the resplen dentWirb on liigh. tfjlconjure If would be hard N%ur|tha up a fairer view. shining crescent was Veims—glorious and refulgent in all her evening beau ty. Over to the south the Scor pion was strut died full length across the sky, and to the north, Arcturus was still guided in his mighty orbit,as when Job watched in him. from the plains of Shinar, the morning twilight of tlfe ages. Higher t-li6 bulky form ‘ of Hercules up, lay athwart the Cassiopeia heavens, and over to the east was tilted back in her royal chair. The Great Dipper made glorious the firmament around the polo, pointing as of old to Polaris, that, changeth not through the ages. the Then, as a central setting to blue picture, there was Vega sky, eyed princess of the meridian than whom there be noiie fairer in the heavens. I thought of the wonderful reign of law that holds sway to the re motest limits of those starry depths. I thought of the har mony and precision of tlmir rushed move ments—of how they have on through countless centuries, swerving, never varying, obedient never law; but always to satellite and planet, planet and primary, suu and system, all cir cling on together around some great central point, as yet thought to us unknown. And then 1 of the little creature in the yard, and of how the reign of than law in was the no less apparent there revolving planets and the sweep of suns beyond. “Canst thou bind the sweet iu fiuences of Pleiades,” said Job, “or loose the bands of Orion?’’ “He stretched out the north over the empty place, and hang etli the earth upon nothing.” “When the morning stars of sang God together, and all the sons shouted for joy.” said that not And another hath even one sparrow is forgotten in the great universe of God. “Consider the ravens; for they neither sow nor reap ; and God feedetli them.' “Consider the lilies how they grow; they toil not neither do they spin; and yet I say unto you that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” Thk Spectator.
