'1 Ik* Way
I hive nail right, boys,
I lit it on the head;
Strike with all your boys,
While the iron’s red.
When you’»e woik to du,b >ys,
Do it with a will;
They who reach the top, '»
hirst must climb the Ir ! .
■Standing at the foot, l>
< lasing at the sky,
How can you ever gel up, b >y ,
If you never try?
Though you stumble oft, bays,
Never be downcast;
Tiy. and try again, boys
You'll succeed at last.

A Letter to tno Cnildren
Dear Children :—lt, has been
about three months since I had a let
letter in the Si n, but. the delay his
not been intention >l. As long as a
single little girl or boy calls for me I
will come again.
My last did not, reach you by some
mishap, so it has not been quite so
long since I wrote. I intended to
write you a Christmas letter but was
so busy before Christmas with other
things I did not find time. Just a
week before Christmas we moved to
our new home, two miles distant. It
was a wonderful event in my life as
I had never moved before; having al
ways lived at the homestead where
my parents first went to housekeeping.
1 was afraid I would ba homesick but
I find it is home when* the heart is.
I am so pleasantly situated in my new
home ami have my dear ones ail with
me that I find no cause to be discon
tented. I shall never forget how
plesant they made it for one the first
evening I came. It was late in tin
evening when I arrived with the lit-
tie ones; father was standing at the
gate and the rest of the family on tin
front porch waiting to conduct us in.
I was shown to my room where a
bright fire was blazing and the fur
niture all arranged by loving hands.
The family pictures were on the wail,
the faithful timepiece ticking on the
mantel and the big rocking chair in
place, and the sewing machine by tin
window ready for work, and last but
not least all the loved ones around.
I appreciated it very much because it
was all the room in the house that
was arranged and I knew my tw<>
girls had worked hard to have it
ready for me. As soon as I had
warmed, for it was an awful cold da\
a supper bell rang out merrily ami
cheerfully; a big new bell that soun
ded like a hotel bell accompanied
with the scent of steaming coffee, hot
biuquit and sausage, and you may
rest assured 1 felt perfectly at
heme.
The next morning the girls began
unpacking and arranging furniture—
putting down carpets hanging cur
tains arranging pictures, vases, books
Ac. and making the rooms look cosy
and thly as only a girl can do. chris
mas was coming and they worked
hard to get through and have some
fun. Young folks don’t mind work it
there is some pleasure in sight. Those
girls took Christmas about two weeks
and got pay for their work. There
was a turkey dinner on Chirstmas
day and another New year’s. They
sent to the city for oranges bananas
cocoa nuts and all kinds of good
things and the house was filled with
company until Father began to frown
and say “Christmas is over and it is
time for everybody to go to work.’’
And the cook got cross and wanted
to know who was coming next, John
nie went rabbit hunting: that was
Christmas enough for him, ami his
way of enjoying himself Christinas
day. Ile was gone all day anil missed
his dinner but brought in twenty nine
rabbits and a crowd of boys. His
idea of fun is a gun and a dog and a ,
French harp. He can’t tell which of |
the three
harp best, and when he plays and
his sister accompanies him with the
organ it is delightful music.
Christinas is a joyful happy time:
and different persons have their dif
ferent ways us enjoying it. The
children must have romping games,
blindfold and such like. The older
girls and boys enjoy a game of Au
thor's chess with’a quiet little party,
and especially ninstjill the children
be shut out of the parjor, so it falls to
mothers lot to take her Christmas
amusing the little ones. That is
what 1 enjoy. Boy’s sweet faces and
loving ways are better th in the best
game. We have one little noisy rude
boy that all the family say is bad,
ewept liis mother—she says he is
nervous. The remark that Sir Isaac
’Newton's fnt.h« r made concerning
i him when a boy, my older children
' often apply to Mark. “If it please
God to take any of my children let it
be Isaac.” And yet Isaac grew to
be n great go id, and useful man.
Christinas is over now and we
must all settle down to business. Th it
iswhy lam writinga letter to the Si n.
it is customary to write Christmas
letters before Christinas; it ii easier
l<» write it afterward* and tell how it
passed. If you like this Christmas
letter I think I will write you anoth
er next week and i' ll you something
of Santa Clause, Affectionately
Aunt Mary.

io : ips not more than one news.
p. ' ike story. It was headed,
h >y of seven run over by a
jstie ir ami badly mangled.'’ Per-!
hi • ’ cly one of the readers of that
o ier paused to think about
trill the busy rush and whirl of
hoo one; and yet. how much it
men • » one small household; How
tin ,t . tr;s ached when the poor little
felh> t-nr ought in and laid on bis
pom le bed!
II -uher’s eves were so full of
terns could scarcely see to lend him
bin s kept back from her quivering
Jjp- ih tv that would have hurt bis
ears, t ! if her bands trembled, they
wire firm enough to do what w. B
needed. But the most wonderful thing!
of all was the bravery and patience of,
the boy himself, so crushed and wound'
ed that it broke other people’s hearts
to see him, and yet so gentle and un .
complaining that it made his elders !
ashamed of every complaint they had :
ever uttered over lesser pains.
The doctor, though used to beds of 1
pain,grew very pi.iful when he found,
' after two operations hail been perform- j
' ed under the influence of ethi r, that still ■
another was necessary.
“1 do hate to use so much ether,be ,
said, “and yet it’s too much to expect •
him to bear the operation without.”
The poor mite hirjself caught the
words, and understood (hem, and his
sweet, childish voice, conquering with
its sweetness fear and pain alike said,
earnestly, ‘ I’ll hold still, *<> still, and
not cry once, if mamma will sing a
song, nod if she won’t let the jlears
come into her ejes.
And then the mother sang—and
only the pitying Father in heaven who
helped her knew how she kept back
the springing tears—sang ami sang,
and (he boy listened with his patient
ejes fixed upon her face; and moan*
while, the doctor look out piece af'er
i price of bone from the poor mangled
1 band, and never one cry or groan camo
from thu childish lips.
Ah, what a lesson it was lor grown-up
people, who cry out in their pain mid
are not willing to bear the probing
, hand of tho great I’hysiclau! Said one
of iho old saints, “There are no tear*
in the eyes of God!” No, la cause he
knows the end from (ho beginning, mid
wounds ti.s but to heal.
“What il l wore one of those hus
-1 bauds, my dear, wLo gel up cross m
j the morning mid bang thing* around,
j mid kick like everything just brcmise
I the collcu is cold?” “John,” responded
his wife, “I would make it hot for you,”
As her words admitted of more than
one inti rprealion, John’ said nothing
more about the collee.

<V//o?.'Zy, tciiiinis'works are bound to bi laid aside,
Read the following Commendations :
I have examined Mr. Hawkins’ Grammar and Chart*, and take plea=ure i i saying tint I consider
than «k»r, well cviidensed, and consistent throughout; brief in their rules an 1 definitions, and practi

MRS. FIELDS,
Ttacher of English, Gainesville College.
Nothing atfords me more pleasure than to recommend the short land comprehensive method •!
imparting a knovd.“d.;e of the s-eeier.ce of our language to the little ones. Heart-aches and head
aches over our cor.fus -d and mystified nomenclature will be at an end if the author s method is use
in th- school-nsiin. Ith refore unhesitatingly;recommend this work to the public.
W. A. BROWN,
Ex-Co. . Com’r , Hall County, Ga.
Teachers wl»e believe that pupils should! learn Itojexpress their thoughts with ease and rapidity
either orally or in writing, will heartily welcome the autlvir’a comprehensive method of teaching
English.
B dieving J-at pupils ought to be able to apply the principles of any science as fast as learned, the
Auth-w’i. metu. ’i sb-.,s :o furnish the largest possible amount of work for the pupil’s hands ami eve
sod to prevent th • committing to memory of abstract facts without knowing the reason therefor. «
Having had a h>n< ex >.‘nence in the school-room, we are of the opinion tint the in -thud pre
sented In the muli r will fill a long felt want where time is an object and we take pleasure in recom"
iiumling this principle ut teaching Grammar to frien Is of education everywhere.
J. T. WILSON, SR.
One of th? greatest mistakes of the authors of t.xt books |is;|that of verbosity; of makiug so
many divisions ami sub-divisions of their subjectth.it the mind of the pupil becomes confused, a.id
endeav, ring to grasp minute details, loses great and useful fundamental principles.
tn his Grammar, Rev. R. D. Hawkins, recognising this defect in other texts, has so sim.ilifiol
and condensed Hie gra.ul iprinciples of our language as to make them thoroughly understood ai d
easily applied by any who will give the subject even a small amount of study.
After .t careful examination of his book and charts, 1 take great pleasure in bearing testimony .
to the < xcellencc of the work, and .liter adopting it for the Seminary, most cheerfully recommend it
to all uctiring a brief, ami thoroughly analytical course in this, the most imporiant of all studies.
