Abbe Kisse,
August Is truly a month for vacations, not
only for school children hut for all who are
foitunate as to get leave of absence from bush
sea and work; our city folks all need it—
change and recreation are a necessity; it
brightens one np physically and mentally
go away among new scenes and mis with new
people. And so the month of August finds
everybody that can get away, gone, some
the ua shore, some to the mountains, snd
others to watering places; others again prefer
the qnietof a farm house, whore there is plenty
of shade and good inter, nice fruit, milk, fresh
eggs, chickens, etc. How swoot the air fools
a tired, over-worked man or woman, but how
very few of that sort get out to breath It. It
is the rich who leave homo, (usually homos
where there aro only comforts surrounding
them,) bat they must have a change and
they leave the comforts of home and go
crowded hotels and put np with every discom
fort to be in the fashion. Wo southern people
do not go to tho extremes our northorn friends
do. If wo cannot lea so home in summer wo
make the heat of it, and try and enjoy whit wo
can, but in tho northorn cities fashionable peo
ple havo keen known to nallnp their gates and
abut doors and windows and live for weeks In
the back rooms that their neighbors mky think
they ars away. Hero in tho south wo love our
esse and comfort too much to do such things
as that. I wish the poor could got in the
country. When I walk tho streets of our city
I so often loo thosojwho look ss if just a breath
of country air would bo so refreshing, snd yet
they have not the means of enjoying it, but
suppose it Is all right. Wo think sometimes
when we lookaronnd ns that tho good things
of this world are very unequally divided, but
it it not to, wo know onr own troubles, but wo
do not know what the troubles of the rich are,
bnt they havo them, and when tome day all
thinga are made clear we will wonder wo ever
questioned God'a wisdom or murmured at
dispensation of bis providence. Bat August it
a long, lonely month for those who havo to
stay at homo. I havo been among tho unfop
Innate number this summer and I miss my
neighbors. As I sit on my vine-covered por:I
these beautiful moonlight evenings and look
across the street the houses look so dark and
gloomy. I live on a corner and mlno is the
only house with a light in it. Tho occupants
of the throo other corner houses are gono and
we miss tho lights and the voices ofour friends.
But it it best to look outside for our pleasures?
Bure net. snd my thoughts turn to my own
home; how lovely tho vinos look in the moon
light, tho delicate tracery of the pear balsam
with ita clinging tendrils, tho perfumo of tube
roses that la wafted to us on tho evoning
brccie, the beauty of the flowers that dll my
little yard and are plainly soon in the bright
moonlight, tho dear companionshlpof my cbil
dren as we tit and talk of the dearest membe
of onr home circlo who it far away, all tho! 1
things bring happiness; tho empty houses of
onr neighbors no longor look dark, they ars
brightened by the reflection of the light in our
own hearts snd we are Ailed with gratitude
that "the lines ars fallen to ns in pleasant
placet,” and that wo are daily learning “in
whatsoever state” we aro, "therewith to be
content.”
I read not long ago an account oraomo young
girl going ont botanizing. She aid thoy had
an exceedingly Interesting clast and a splendid
teacher. Ho propoied they go oat and study
among tho flow on in tho woods; she tolls of
her great fear of snakes, how evan when a
child she had sat and listened to tho wonder*
fui tales that had been told of snakes and tho
fear the had. It had “grown with her growth
and strengthened with her strength,” snd how
while her companions and teacher would sock
for the wild flowers and study each one, the
would bo peering around behind each rock and
beneath each log and none know her misery.
1 folt tke most intense sympathy for that girl
and I know from tad experience she could not
overcome that fear. Strong-minded people
may call it a weakness, and so it may be, but
it is a cause of great suffering. The terror of
my life is a caterpillar. This year they have
been so abundant that my flowerahave bean no
pleasure to me for I cannot go among them. I
admire from a distance. Some one else may
he ss afraid of a bag, and so wo all havo some
weakness, or at last a gnat many do, and
thou of ua that havo know how to sympathize
with each other, for a "follow feeling mazes us
woadrons kind. 1 '
The widow of the Bon. Jcre Clemens, of Alt-
hams, sends tho poetry below, with the request
that we give It s place In our columns, as wo hive
many subscribers In Alabama. We ban no doubt
It will be appreciated. It was wltten by s school
trlend of Mrs. Clement Mrs. Wm. ,F. Robertson:

Clothed with rich green, by wild breezes caressed,

Thy wild Jee-tmlre sweet, perfuming the gale,
Thy rich golden rod, thy primrose so pale,
Tbybysclnths, thy lilies and roses rare—
Oh! show me a land that ts half so fair.
Oh, Alabama! What land can comnaro
With thee in thy products, ao rich and so rare ?
Thy marble and coal, thy wheat, cotton and corn,

Thy various fruits, thy beautiful Cowers,
Thy wild vines farming snob faliy-llke bowers,

apple much-even a sweet one—in the cooking,
but If it is ncrniary to add sugar at table there u
more of a flavor that goes well with the apple In
Kxne of the best brown sorts than In pounded loaf
sugar. Cream alio Is generally added at the table,
and all the world knows how Its blandness con- ,

the fruit. Which ol these help* shall be chosen
