A few days ago, as I was rambling in the woods in search of flowers, I was enchanted by the beautiful scene that sur¬ rounded me. In the trees above me I could hear the twittering of so many beautiful little birds as they wore singing their good night songs; and far in the dis fence I could hear the tingling of tiie cow bells as they caine H^dv through the meadows on ||||ih*ro the barn, where the B^'or ■irr wails to feed and the night.

Several beauti¬ ful geese are swimming and play¬ ing in the waters beneath me.

On last Sunday tliofehghborhood of th<* & S. railrc^l was made hidi Wis the whom* nd veils of a crowd of boys, whoso parents did not know where they were, who were violating tire fourth command m.mt, “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy,” etc. I know not who they were, but their pres ence at that place was loudly manifest, A stranger coming into town at that time would have gotten a very poor impression how our children are being raised• they certainly would have thought that wo are a crowd of heathen. A heartfelt desire for the wel fare of our beautiful town and a desiro that people may tracted here promoted this communication,and suet; carolessnes on the part of the parents of Statesboro will not go. far toward the desired end.
