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. Orange. G.i. Carnesville, Ga.

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. ; good ■w 1 BL u c k< B W ly To Von. .Ta g The New Year is Here, PALMOUR & SMITH - Gainesville t Ga.

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.
