The poem below «u lent os by a contribu
tor who rays: "They were written on the
deeth of my haby girl, my only child. I claim
for them no merit, but am rare they will
touch a sympathetic chord in the heart of
every mother who haAeen bereft of her only
child.”
MY FLOWER.
In my (arden bloomed one Sower,
Lovely, frigrant, purely white,
But It withered in an boar,
Blighted by the chill of night.
My iwect Soweret did not perlih,
'Twee (athered by Onr Father 1 ! hand
Alllta fragrance Mill It cherished, I
Tho’It blooms In that tatr land.
Oh,my baby, my little wee one,
Sheltered now bom every cam.
Safe In the arms of Jesus, dear one;
Mo tears are shed up there.
Father, mother, oh 1 look upward
Reoofnlze the chastening rod
And behold again your Soweret
Intheboeomofyour God.
May yon too, by him transplanted
Blown eternal in tbit liM
And the chain that now U severed
Be re-united by hU hand.
Mother.
There are so many subjects of interest to ho
discussed among housekeepers at this particu
lar time of year that it is hard to make a selec
tion; but pre-eminent is house cleaning and
spring elother. A great many housekeepers
make themselves and family very uncomfort
able by beginning spring cleaning too early. If
it is true that “one swallow does not make
summer," it is equally true that one warm
spell does not make spring. Too many are
seised with a perfect frensy for cleaning house
as soon as the first few balmy days, which we
usually have in March appear. This is a great
mistake; only one thing should be attetyled to
in March, that is the beds. It was my mother's
rule (and we all think ourmothers know best)
that March must not be allowed to pass with
out all the beds in the house being overhauled
and by experleno I know it is beat; so about
the middle of the month have the beds put out
where both sun and air can get to them, and
have the beadsteads washed well with very
Warm water and soap, then have the white of
an egg beaten to a stiff froth in which mix
nearly half ounce of quicksilver, and with
feather put this on every portion of the bed
stead and the comers of the mattresses and it
is well; o pnt it in the closets where there are
any shelves, just with the feathor touch In
cnicksor corners. I have tried many things,
but nothing is so effectual as this preparation
for preventing any trouble from bugs. Then
let house-cleaning rest for a month. I think
we learn wisdom on these subjects as we grow
older. I used to be one of the crazy kind
about cleaning early in the spring and look
back now and shiver over the many mornings
that I would roam around miserably cold and
uncomfortable because the stoves were token
down and dro places all cleaned and fixed for
summer, for I would have nearly frozen before
I would again have smoked up the fire place.
City people have the advantage, with their
grates and dark papered walls, smoke, if they
have any, don't show, but thoro are many who
live in small towns and the country who still
have whitewashed walls and large open fire
places and who go through regular whitewash
ing and scouring and scrubbing and ooms out
fresh, sweet and clean every spring with as
newadresson as the trees, and it is to this
dais who may not have the “ways of quality
folks,” that I advise not to begin your house
cleaning too soon. It is an awfbl busy time
and one fraught with much discomfort, but
when we come out of it victorious, the thought
of tile rest and quiet for the next six months is
very delightful and we sit with folded hands
and enjoy our triumph more for the misery
and btigue through? which we have gone,
shall have to discuss spring clothes another
time. ______
The last number of Good Housekeeping,
(April<3d,) is if possible, more charming than
any preceding number. It Is full of interest
ing reading. Bints invaluable to housekeepers,
economical suggestions, and indeed entertain
ing matter of all sorts. We take great pleasure
in indoiaing it and it only becomes a wondor
to us with each number how any housekeeper
having once seen It could ever be without it,
and the wish arises that every lady in the land
could be the fortunate possessor of so valuable
a magazine. _____
Atlanta has been one of the favomd dtlee in
having the prtvelege of entertaining this week
the great evangelists, Moody and Sankey. Cer
tainly all who have had the pleasure of hearing
them have esteemed it a privilege. Mr. Moody
is an earnest, ftithAil worker, and never fails
to impress one with their osra “nothingness,”
and Incites the desire to do more effectual work
in the vinyerd of the Master. Mr. Sankey’s
aweet singing is a great addition to the services
lib has a very sympqthetio voioe, his high
notes are particularly sweet; Us selections very
beautiful, and he never fail to ask God's
blessing on thesong about to be snng. There
are many hearts that are reached by a song
that would not be by words, so that these good
men are equally dependent on each other, and
both do great good in their own way. They
are sowing seed in this city. True, somo may
fall by the wayside, and some in stony ground,
but many are falling in hearts willing and
reedy to receive them, and which will in time
bring forth good fruit. That their efforts may
bo. blessed wherever they go should be the
prayer of every earnest Christian heart.
For the benefit of the readers of Tax Daily
ConsTlTTTlnx I wish to say that “Woman's
Kingdom" Is intended for the weekly, but a
portion of it appears in tbe daily. Sometimes,
however, it la crowded out of the dally, but al
ways appears in the weekly. I make this ex
planation, as often wo have contributions from
ladies who Uve in Atlanta, (wUch was tbe
case last week.) and when they donot see their
communications they imagine they have been
left out, which is not so. I mnst also ask our
rmpondents to bo patient as to the appeamnoe
of their letters; “first come, first served," and
our columns aro very full. Inst week several
letters were left over and of conns they will
take preeeoenco this week. We have asked
the editors for more mom for our department,
but fear it will bo Impossible for them to grant
the request Would also say to oor corresp in
dents that all letters or common lotions must
bo written only on one side of tbe paper, or
they may foil to nppenrjdon’t forget this In the

will make In a day; In warm weather three hours.
The one quart of oom will make beer through

Mr. T.B. F., Grasmere, Orange county, Flo.—
We live In the little town or MoDooald. Messrs.
McDonald,the 'ounden of tbe'town, arc two wealthy
young men of energy and perseverance, and
will, I think, hnlld up a nice little town In a short
while. Obey have a few lota to give away—both
bus nets and dwelling Iota, to a person who will
build s dwelling or a storehouse to cost not lea
then WOO. The town Is in sight of the beautiful
lake Apopka, and the lake looks like salivary
sheet In tbe distance, which Is five miles. The
land la rolling, high pine land, with beautiful,
clear water lakes, very healthy. We have only
one store—a lane variety store and grocery store
combined, which does an Immense btulnem; a
depot on the T. O. A A. railroad, five miles from
Apopka qty, and eighteen mllea from Orlando.
We have six passenger trains per dor. Grasmere
postoffiee Is only one hundred yards from us. The
orange traes ire bcanUfol now, with their snowy

A Fheggy Newsboy#
The railroad ran along ooe side of a besotl
ful valley In the central part of tbe great stata of
New York. I stood at tbe rear end of the train,
looking out of the door, when the engineer gave
two short, sharp bluta of the steam whistle. The
conductor, who had been rending a newspaper in a
seat near me, arose, and touohlng my shoulder,
asked if I wanted to see a "teal country newsboy."
I of course answered, “Yes." 80 we stepped out on
the platform of the car. The conductor had folded
up his paper In a Ugh troll, which he held In his
right hand, while he stood on the lower step of the
car, holding on by his left. 1 saw him begin to
wave tbe peper Just as we swung around a curve in
the track, and an eat farm house oame Into view
away off across some open fields Suddenly the
conductor flung the paper off toward the fence by
the side oftb railroad: and I saw a black shaggy
form leap quite over the fence fhnn the meadow be
yond it, and alight Just where the newspaper,
after bouncing along ui tbe grass, had folleu beside
a tail mullein stale In an angle of the fence. It
was a big black dog. He stood beside the p«per,
wagging his tall, and watching us as tbe train
moved swiftly away from him. Then he snatched
tbe paper from the ground in bis teeth, and leap
ing over tbe fence again, away he went aeross the
fields toward tbe farm-house. When we last saw
him he was a mere Mark speck moving over the
meadows,and them tbe train rushed through a
deep cleft in the hlU-slde, and the whole soene
passed from our view.
"What will he do with the paper?" I asked of the
tall young conductor at my side.
‘ Carry it to the folks at the house," bean*w<ed.
"la that your homer I inquired.
"Yes," be responded; "my rather lives there, and
1 tend him an afternoon (taper by Carly every day,
i the way you have seen_
"Then they always send the dog when It Is time
for your train to paasr ^„ .
"No," said he, ’’they never send him. He knows
for the train, aud oomes over here
own accord, rain or shine, summer
or winter."
"But does _
times?" 1 ssktu, wwi wumwi»ui«
••Never, sir! lie pays no attention to any train
“How can a do, tell vbat time it If, ao as to kaotr
alien to go to meet tbe train?" I asked efatn.
“That & more than I can tell,'' ms we red the
conductor; “but ba Is always there-, and the
engineer whistles to cell my attention, for rear that
I should not set out on tbe plotftnn till wo bed
pasted Carlo?'
“So Carlo xeepe watch oftho time better thaw the
conductor himself," I remarked, “tor tbe dag doee
not need lo be reminded.”
The conductor laughed, and I wondered, as be
walked away, who of my yoang friends, of whom I
hare a great many, would no as felthfol and
watchfoiall tba year round as Carlo, who never
mtared the train, thouzh he could not “tall Ume by
