have the benefit of them:"
God's Plans.
Some time, when til life’s lessons have been
learned, #
And ran and stars forever more bare set,
The things which our weak judgment here have
TheThLngs^o’er which we grieved with lashes
Will flash' before us out of life's dark night.
As stars shine more in deeper tints of clue:
And we shall see how all God’s plana were right.
And how what seemed reproof was love most
true.
And we shall see how, while we Drown and sigh,
God's plans go on as beat for you and me;
How. when we called, he heeded not our cry,
Because His wisdom to the end could see,
And e'en as prudent parents disallow,
Too much of sweet to craving babyhood,
Bo, God, perhaps is keeping from us now,
life’s sweetest things, because it seemeth good.
And If. sometimes, eomlng led with life's wine,
We find the wormwood, and rebel and shrink,
Be rare a wiser band than yours or mine.
Pours out this portion for our Ups to drlnx.
And If tome trlen d we lore It tying low,
Where human kisses can not reach his face,
Oh, do not blame the loving Father so,
But bear your sorrow with obedient grace.
And you will short!? know that lengthened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends bis friend,
And that' sometimes, the sable pall of death,
Conceals the fairest bloom his lore can send.
If we could push alar the gates of life
And stand within, and ail God's workings see,
We could Interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find akey.
But not today. Then bo content, poor hsart:
God's plans, like llllies pure and white, unfold
We must not tear the close shut leaves apart—
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold.
And if, through patient toll, we reach the land
Wbero tired feet with sandals loose, may rest,
When we shall clearly know and understand
I think that we will say that "God knows best.'

Correspondence.
We regret that our columns are so crowded this
week that several good articles have had to be
omitted on account of being too lengthy. We
make a last attempt to give correct directions for
roeeleaf lace: we nave another from Texas, but
give the one received first—Editress.
L. E. Z—If A. a Belmont, Alabama, will ad

Mrs. J. T. B., Pollville, Tenu.—WJU some ono

Kota Bene, Screven county,Ga.—All your subjects
love your Kingdom and you, as their ruler, and 1
am rare that the editors of Thr ^Constitution
<must enjoy the pleasure they allow their lady
readers of exchanging thoughts and experiences.
I noticed in yesterday's Kingdom that Katie Lou.
of Johnston’s station, Ga., wishes to know what
books are best for young girls to reed. I am so
glad she has ssked the question, because it gives
me the greatest pleasure to say that Mrs. R. D. T,
Whitney's writings are the sweetest, healthiest,
most charming works 1 know to give to our young
girls, both for entertainment and to excite a
laudable emulation to become like some of the
noble and successful characters portrayed byhur.
Beginning with sweet little "Leslie Goldthwalte."
ana following her crowd of young friends through
the three otbsr books of the series: "The Olrlt,"
"Other Girls," and "Beal Folks." until the romp
ing school girl of "sweet sixteen" "stand iwith
reluctant feet where the brook and rivor moot,"
then In their complete womanhood go forth to
preside over their own home circles. When we
leave them, it is with the sorrow ws feel when
saving goodbye to leng known and well loved
friends. Mrs. Whitney has the peculiar talent of
making her, a food, sensible woman, bright and
attractive, and she thus inspire* her girl readers
with an ambition to be noble and good. Mias Al-
cott’s "Little Women" should be given to young
girls to read, also, as the bright sparkling style of
her writing is really fascinating. To excite a very
desirable love for solid reading, girls should by ail
meana be allowed access to Motley's works. "Tho
Conquest of Mexico and or Peru/' etc,, ate very
attractive end willl be erne to give much pleasure.

W. T. B.—A Mother’s Love. Borne of yoar read
ers may recollect a thrilling ballad which was
written on the death of a woman who perished
In the snow drifts of the Green mountain! of Ver
mont. That mother bora an infant on her bosom
end when the storm walled loud and furious, true
to a mother's love, rent her garments and wrapped
them arotmo her babe. The morning found her a
stiffened corpse, but her babe eurvived. The babe
grew to manhood and became the speaker of the
Ohio senate. How thrilling most be his thoughts
of that mother, if he be a true large hearted mau.
Ob, how deep a mother’s love. How many a
mother is there who would die for her sod whon
ferawsr from home? on the land or on the sea,
When the eyes of no mother is upon them remem
ber her, love and be restrained by It from entering
in the paths of vice. Let them say nothing, do
nothing which a mother would not approve, and
they will never bring her gray hairs with sorrow
to the grave.
Mrs. L. E. If., Winsboro, Texas.—I have been
a constant reader «f your paper for about eight
yean and think it the best paper published, and
since Woman’s Kingdom is added it is complete.
1 would say to M. A. C. Enstavis, if she warns to
come south to come along. She will be warmly
welcomed by her southern listen Would be
glad to bear from her on dressmaking, honro-
keeping and I would like to exchange crochet
patterns with Basle Allen and Bell filsck, If Farm
ers Daughter will give her address, I will send
her "Curfew" * with pleasure. With good wishes
for the Kingdom, I still remain an ardent ad
mirer. |
Mrs. O. A. W., Kile, Hays county, Texas.—While
■o many an praising your valuable and later-
eating paper, please allow me to express my hum
ble opinion also. My husband has been a sub
scriber to your Weekly Constitution for a good
while, and I can unhesitatingly aay that I think
It (hr superior to most papers printed now a days.

may its editress have a long and happy life.
Mary.—Wbhes to know how to mako aspring
wrap for a young girl, and If borax water is good
for tho complexion? Borax water is said to bo very
softening to the skin.. Spring wrap made of tome
light lady’s cloth and trimmed with wool lace,
would be suitable. All wraps are made short.
Subscriber, Mott's Mills, Ala.-Whero can I get a
chart with instructions to cut and fit draasea?
Note.—Agents usually travel around the country
with them; don't know any ono here with them.
Dixie, Msdison, On.-Will some of the circle

L. E B., Marietta, Ga.-Wants a recipe for salt-
Thing bread. Has always liked it better than any
