My Little 80-Peep.
My little Po-Pcep is Fast a>’eep,
And ! er head <:ii my 1 o irt is lyintr,
I gently rock, and the old hall 'dot k
Strikes a knell of IL? day that’s dying;
But what care I h w the hours go by,
Whether swiftly they go or creeping?
Not an hour could l. e • nt d ar to me,
When my babe on m. ira is sleeping.
Her little bare feet, with dimples sweet,
From the folds of her gown are preping.
And each wee toe tike a daisy in blow,
I caress as she lies a skewing;
Her golden hair falls over the chair,
Its treasures of beauty unfolding,
I press my lips to her finger (ips
That my hands a’e so tightly holding.
Tick, took, tick took; yon may wait, old clock,
It was ioolish what. I was saying;
Let your seconds s ay, your minutes play
And bid your days go all a-Maying.
O, Time! stand still—let me drink my fill
Os content, wii le my bale is sleeping;
As I smooth her hair, my life looks fair,
And tomorrow—l may be weeping.
. —S. B. McManus.
How often in reaching out for th© great
things in life we fail to appreciate small
things, most especially the comforts that sur
round us. We may not have the luxuries
that our neighbors possess and we may need
many littlo articles that would add to the hap
piness and comfort of our household, but every
woman that possesses :i rocking chair is
Mossed ; it is truly her “comfort of comforts.”
Rome one has said ••heaven’s last and best gift
to man was woman, and man’s best gift to
woman was the rocking chair.” It is rest for
the weary woman; she rocks her troubles
away as the swinging boughs east oil the dust;
it is a solace in hours of sorrow. Even a
creaking rocker that driveth men mad as the
ceaseless words of a contentious woman
“speak comfortably to her;” the rocker fills
up all social gaps; if there is no one with
whom she may talk, she rocks; if she has
company, she rocks and talks. She rocks and
sews; she rocks and knits; she rocks and does
things that a man can only accomplish under
conditions of motionless death-like stillness.
How true this is, what woman will not per
ceive the force of these sentiments and feel
their applicability. What household is there
that has not an “old arm chair,” around which
has clustered a heart full of sweet memories;
a rocking chair that was once the personal
property of some loved one, that sat in some
particular spot or corner, and hence brings up
recollections of some member of your house
hold lone since “lost to the sight, but to
memory c jar.” In my own home there is an
“old arm chair” that 1 prize more than all the
others; it may look out of place among
those of more modern shape, and when friends
come who do not know its history, and
wonder why such an old-fashioned piece of fur
niture is given a conspicuous place, I need
only say; “It was my mother’s chair,” and the
wonder ceases, and none can dare to chide me
for loving ‘The Old Arm Chair? Many,
many years have passed since the dear one
rested in the old arm chair, but time can
nover obliterate the picture indelibly photo
graphed upon the heart and memory. I often
fancy I see tho sweet, gentle face and loved
form as it rested after the day’s work was
over, and we gathered in the quiet of tho twi
light around her chair. Precious old chair, it
is all that is left, with its sweet memories. I
would not exchange it for one of modern beau
ty—nay, go! 1 could not buy my old-fashioned
chair. Apart from these mementoes of the
past, how dear are our especial rocking chairs;
what comfort they give us; how sweet are the
thoughts that come trooping through our
minds as we rock our little ones to sleep; how
often one little rocking chair serves tho pur
pose of rockmg a whole family, and as each
little one comes on and tho mother gently
rocks it on her breast her thoughts revert to
tho babyhood of each little darling and of the
ambitions, and plans, and air castles that have
been built in this same little rocking chair.
Blessed comfort is our rocking chair. It is
claimed that only lazy people love them. Then
1 fear many of us are lazy. I have one other
chair very dear to me, the <»no dearer to me
than all others, given with the thought only
of m3’ comfort, and oh what a comfort it is,
and how sweet, when all alone “in tho gloam
ing,” to rock back and forth, and send loving
thoughts to the giver, who often is so faraway.
There should be a monument as high as tho
skies erected over the man who in vented, rock
ing chairs.

A Beautiful Experiment,
The following be. uiiful chemical experiment may
be easily performed to the great astonishment of
many a ;>arty. Take two or three leaves of red cab
bage, cu them into sra.il pieces, put them into a
bi b :i, and pour a pint of boiling water on them; let
it stand an l our, then pour off the liquid inade
c. nter. It will be of a fine, blue color. Then take
four winc-giasses; into one put six dr >ps of strong
vinegar; into mudher six drops of so ution of soda;
into a third the same quantity of a strong solution
of alum, and let the f urth glass remain empty.
The ? iu.-A-s may be prepared some time before, and
the few drops of colorless liquid that have teen
placed in them will not be noticed. Fill up tho
glasses .r >m the decanter, and the liquid poured in
to the gl.iss couluinlrig acid will quickly become a
beautiful red. t ,e glass containing tl«e soda will be a
fine green; that pouicd into the empty one will re
main unchanged. By adding a little vinegar to the
given, it will iminediao ly ci.au e to a red, and on
addin; a little solution of soda to the red, it will
assume a fine green, thus showing the action of
acids ami alkalies ou \c'etable blues.

A Chapter of “Don’t” for Parents.
BY MARGARET JEAN MC’VEAGH.
From the Ladies' Home Journal.
1. Don’t forget that you brought your children in
to the world without their knowledge or consent.
You have no right to embitter the life you have
thus tinu;t upon them. I have known parents
to nial e absolute slaves of their children, compell
ing almost constant attendance, under the popular
delusion that young limbs are never tired; and like
the old slave master, giving nothing in return but
food and clothes.
2. Don't lau; hat and deride your children's hob
bies. Remember how much brighter life has
seemed to you, wh.en you could i e thze some cherish
ed dn an, and treat them accordingly.
3. Don't forget that youth needs amusement.
Your childien have not oily bodies but minds.
Rest for the l»o ly and amusement for the mind, are
demands of nature which too many parents ignore.
If you do not provide for your children hea thlul
and sufficient amusement, then thank God for Ills
niprey on you, if your children do not take to
dangerous or wicked pleasures when they arc older.
4. Don’t tirgetth t your children aie beginning
life, while you, perbap.-, are ending it. Give them
ti e benefit of your experience, but don'texpect that
yourexperience will serve them in place of an ex
perience cf their ov n.
d. Don’t be impatient with your children when
they doubt your estimate to the world’s allure
in nts. Remember it is you who have tested these
things, not they. You did not see with your father’s
eyes, neither should you expect your children to sjo
with your eyes.
C. Don’t demand respect of your children, or en
deavor to enforce it by your authority. Respect is
paid not to those who demand, but to those who de
serve it.
7. Don’t neglect your children’s frienls. Invite
them to your house. Show your children that their
friends are your iriends. and your children’s friends
will be such as you will approve.
8. Don tbe jealous of your children’s friends’. If
you make your society delightful to your children,
they will always prefer you to any other companion.
If your child prefers everyone else to you, stop and
noiider whether you have not compelled him to
seek elsewhere the companionship, love and sympa
thy’ he ought to have found in you.
9. Don’t be ofraid to let your children see your
love for them. Let a child feel that no matter where
he goes, or what he does; no matter whether friends
forsakp or foes slander him, his parents’ love and
trust will always follow him—and that child is not
only sale f»r all time, but the thought of this love
will shine out like a lamp in a dark place, cheering
and strengthening him against all odds.
10. Don’t forget that the great Father of all has
had infinite trouble with you. You have been just
as refractory, ungiaieful and disobedient as any
child you have. Let this thought temper your
anger, and make you wise to direct a complex
human soul.
A Beautiful Lady.
Some time ngo, a Cambridge lady, who was as rc
m irkable for her dignif.e I bearing as for her perso
nal beauty and grace, entered a crowded horse-car
Where there were a number Harvard undergradu
ates, all of whom arose to oiler her a seat. She ac
cepted one with thanks. Presently the car stopped,
when a poor woman with a baby in her arms,
entered it. Not a scat was offered her. The lady
waited a few moments, and then finding that her
young admirers took no notice of the woman, she
rose and asked tho woman to take her seat. At once
a dozen young men sprang up and again tendered
their seats to her, but she persisted in standing, and
had full opportunity’ of noticing the confusion of the
young collegians. It was a quiet but effective re
buke. A statement of the affair soon got over the
college, and no undergraduate could be found to ad
mit that he was in a horse-car that evening.
o
An Italian Kitchen.
Marie Gozzaldi, in Good Housekeeping.
Housework is much the same all over the world,
but for an American to go into an Italian kitchen is
like going back to the days of our grandmothers.
The great chimney cap projects out into the room,
and gives an antique lo »k to the newest kitchen;
under it is a brick hearth raised on an arch to the
height of an ordinary table, in this are two otfrthree
square holes, called fornelle, for the burring
charcoal; behind them is a space for the wofd fire,
and on the side, stands the jack-spit for cookiig the
O st. There is no oven, except a great briik affair
tnat must be heated by having a fire of light wood
built inside of it and that is rather costly, (.’ne can,
however, send puddings, cakes and largeroasts to
the nearest bakers, where they will be bated for a
few cents each. Almost everything is (poked on
the little fornelle. They aie three or foir inches
deep and have a grating bottom; below is an open
space that < an be closed by a little sliding iron door.
When a good fire is needed the cook funs the open
ing with a fun made of i laitcd straw or turkey
feathers.
Water must usually Le brought in from tho well,
though in some houses there is a hydrant in the
kitchen. It is a fortunate thing if one of the little
fornelle is furnished w ith a s inare boiler surround
ing the fire. into which water may be poured and
heated. The cost of keeping these charcoal fires go
ing, is from ten to fifteen cents a day for a small
family, but then one must adopt the Italian method
and let the fire go out when not actually in use.
o
How to Break our Baby’s Cold.
Clarissa Potter, in G >od Housekeel Ing.
When I find baby has taken cold, net so feverish
and sick as to require packing, which one dieads to
do because of the increased danger resulting from
any exposure afterward, b it a smart cold in its first
stages, with red eyes and lunuing nose and stuffed
head, I take the little one in my lap several times
through the day, and again at bedtime, and, remov
ing boots and stockings, rub the little feet—soles
and tops and ankles -with sweet oil, or goose oil,
and then heat them long and well before and open
fire till the skin will absorb no more oil.
Then I blithe and rub the little bared back from
neck to hips, especially along the spine, with oil al o;
shielding baby's back from cold drafts, and letting
the warm rays of tie fire light heat them just right,
chafing and thoroughly heating till skin will absorb
no more oil.
Wrappe 1 in flannel and tucked away in her warm
nest for the night, baby’ often wakes in tho morn
ing with but little trace of her cold.
If there is hoarseness in connection with other
symptoms of un oncoming cold, for a simple remedy
1 like to give baby boiled molasses with a bit of
butter or sweet oil or hen’s oil, in it, or a tew tea
spoon fills of onion syrup made of sliced onions and
brown sugar, which helps soothe the throat and
clear the bowels, carrying away, perhapi, the aggra
vating source of the cold.

Correspondence.
We have to thank our contributors for many
valuable recipes. Many have been sent us.
For all wc are grateful, but it baa been re
served for a Virginia lady to send us decidedly
the most unique yet received, and I am very
sure our lady readers will agree with mo when
they read the article we give below. Wc hope
ali will read and heed tke good advice:
I have often wished lately that I had time to
write to the Woman's Kingdom to say how much I
enjoy it and all of The Gj.x.-.titution and like the
plan of asking useful questions and exchanging re
ceipts. I hop* the following receipt for “cooking a
husband” will pro’ e to be pleasant and beneficial
to the house buhl. I copied itfr.m a newspaper a
good while aio, so I am nut able to give credit to
the persm who wrote it. She must have been a
good wife if she practice 1 what she preached, which
; ishardtoiio: it is much easier to write a receipt
I than tu follow one;
COOKING A HUSBAND.
A good many' husband, .ire uticrly polled by mis
management. Some women goutxjut it as if their
I bustnaids were bln I and I low tocm up: others
i keep them constant y in h» t w Aci. others let them
I free eby their careh.-s ns ->and indit'et- nee. Sguic
THE WEEKLY CGNSTITLTION, ATLANTA. GA.. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1887.
keep them in pickle all their lives. It cannot bo
supposed that any husband will be tender and l o >d
managed in this way, but they axe really delicious
when properly treat; d. In selecting your busband
you should not be guided by his silvery appearance,
as in buying n a kerel; not by the golden tint, as if
y»u wanted salmon, lie sure to select him yourself,
aqustes diiler. Po not: oto market for him, as Hie
beware always hr. light to your door. It is fur
l etter to have none unless you patiently learn how
to cook him. A preserving kettle of the finest por
celain is lies - , but if you have nothing but an
earthenware pipkin it will do, with care. See that
the linen in which you wrap him is nicely washed
and mended, with the required number of buttons
and strings on. Tic him iu the kettle
by a strong cord called comfort, as the one called
duty is apt to be weak. They are apt to fly out of
the kettle and be burned and crusty on the ed. es,
since, like crabs and lobsters, you have to cook them
while alive. Make a clear, steady tire out of love,
neatness and che . i u ncss; set him as near this as
seems to agree with him. If ho sputters and fizzes
do not be anxious; some husbands do this till they
are quite done. Add a little sugar in the form of
w hat coiifeeiionets call “kisses,' 1 but no vinegar or
pepper on afiy account. A little spice im] roves
them, but it must be used with judgment. IJo not
stick any sharp instrument into him to see if he is
done or becoming tender; stir him gently, watching
the wuile lest he lie too near the sides of the ko.tlc
and so become useless. You cannot fail to know
when he is done. If thus treated you will find him
very digestible, agreeing nicely with you and the
children, ami ho will keep as long ns you wish
unless you become careless and set him in a cold
place. Tkvebeakt.
If Lillian, of Barnesville, wishes hair work to do,
will she please write to M. F. Underwood, Flat
Shoals, Ga., stating price.
Mr. R. Craig is anxious to secure a middle aged
lady as governess, to teach four little girls in the
country, three miles from town. Any one s. eing
this that would like to accept such a position will
please write at once, as he is anxious to secure one
as soon as possible. Address. Mr. R. Craig, Law

Paul Jones, Quitman, Miss.—My mother has just
made such nice rod popper catsup that she said I
could send you the recipe. One hundred pods of
red pepper, stem and seed, half gallon of vinegar,
two spoonfuls of salt, two spoonfuls of mustard,
four large onions. Boil until pulp will slip oil’ from
the skin of pepper. Pour oft’and cool; then strain,
getting all the pulp from the pepper. This is equal
to Worcester sauce.
Montie Burford, Cookville, Texas—l have been
hesitating some time to write, but could not sum
mon courage until now. Seeing M. E. C.’s appeal
touched me and I write to tell her that the root of
the bull nettle (I do not know the botanical name)
dried in the shade and chewed has cured some very
obstinate cases of Epilepsy to my knowledge. It
grows abundantly in this county. Hoping that her
boy may be cm cd, I will close, with best wishes for
the Woman's Kingdom.
Mrs. Lou McGinty, Mary, Tallapoosa county, Ala.
It is decidedly nice, us well as instructive for us to
exchange ideas. And how kind it is in the editress
to reserve this corner for us; we should love her as
much as the children say they do. All is well that
ends well. Ido not advocate washing with kero
sene; I think a protracted use of It will prove in
jurious. it has a tendency to soften tho bor.os. Wc
should pay attention to hygiene. It is as essential
as to practice economy or labor saving. I wish to
exchange seeds of the preserving melon for clinging
ivy or grape cuttings. Miss Maggie Boyd: I re
ceived! my einamon vine bulbs. I return many
thanks. Long may The Constitution prosper.
Mrs. A. I. McLarty, Hammond, Texas, says to Mrs.
M. E. C., in answer to the question in The Consti
tution November Ist, a remedy for her dear little
boy afflicted with epilepsy. Take one ounc eof bro
mide potasum put in one pint of r iin water; give
a tenspoonful three times a day. May God bless the
means and give the mother grace to bear up under
this trial as Ho did while I suffered thus with my
son.
Mrs. O. D. F., Fort Stephens, Miss.: Reading
Governor Gon on's speech in Ohio, where he speaks
of his old serv; ns, especially his wife's old
“mammy,” made me think how little the northern
people know about the way wo treated our servants
when they really belonged to us, before the war,
and how many of them remained with us after the
war. Amongst ours was one who nursed all my
mother's children. Tho y< unger children called
her Mam Lucy. Wo all thought as much of her ns
if she were white. After the war some of the
negroes tried to get her to leave, but she said, "No;
I’m going to stay with old marster and mistress as
long as they live, and then I’m going to stay with
my children,” (meaning us—she had none of her
own, and always called us her children). Audshe
did stay until they both passed over the river, and
grieved as much for them as any one, I believe.
After that she lived v ith one of my sisters at the
old homestead, until she too passed away. Dear
old soul! How wc all do miss her! We always felt
safe if we left our little ones in her charge.' Some
time before she died she wondered how she would
be buried. Sister told her she would have her put
away veryhiccly, and would have her buried in the
cemetery with our white family. She broke out in
a laugh and said, “Won’t the negroes open their
eyes though!” It seemed to please her very much.
A few hours before she died she said, "I shall soon
■he with old master and mistress.” She always
seemed sure she would meet them in heaven, and I
be lieve she did. They buried her iu the cemetery,
11' it far from “old master and mistress.” A large
concourse of people, both white and black, fol
lowed her to her last resting place, and many tears
we.\e shed for her by us all. There is another one
in t;ds neighborhood—old Aunt Dinah, as she is
callee; by every one. She too stayed with her old
mistress, and after she was dead she continued to
stay wiifh her stcp-chUdren, and when old Aunt
D.n '.lf dies they’ll bury her the same wi y. Oh, tho
north? don’t know anything about it. Our slaves
worj always called in to family prayers, hud every
advantage of going to the house of God, and as a
general thing they were treated well. Os course,
there were some exceptions.
Mrs. B. fi. A., Waverly, Walker cs”»ty, Tex.: In a
beck number of The Constitution I saw where one
of the sisters had seed of tho vegetable peach. I
have seed ot the vegetable orange, which is a per
fect resemblance to the fruit, which I would like to
exchange for seed of the peach. 1 ai o have
seeds of the following: White jack bean, pure white
blooms; catulpa, which has lovely blooms and
grows to good size tree, and beans of coral red,
beautiful for seed work, also seed of a gourd that
will hold a half bushel, inch as our great grand
mothers used for salt and soap receiver.’.
Did any of our sisters ever see “grass beads”
growing on some kind of grass? Only once In my
childhood I saw these wonderful straw colored
beads, of natures growth, with holes to run a string
through, and how amused I was to arrange a string
of natural beads, and wore them with childish pride!
I would be real proud to obtain seed of same, if they
can be found. Those of us who were deprived the
privilege of going to the exposition have to content
ourselves with reading accounts from able pens;
among them Betsy Hamilton's amusing description.
Wishing many bright days for cur kind editress,
end redoubled circulation for The Constitution, I
must give space to others more gifted.
Mrs. W. G. Bradshaw, High Point, N. C.; Have
any of the sisters “Tramway Gali p’ for four hands,
or “Happy ThrjUght Polka,” that ti.ey will exchange
for “Home, Sweet Home” (variations), “Sweet Bye
and Bye” (with variations), “Black Key Polka” for
tour ban'll, or “Hazel Klrke March?” I have quite
a number of pieces of music, both vocal and instru
mental, that I will exchange for any artielo either
useful or ornamental of like value. I have a pretty
set of toilet mats—three—made of rose-colored
zephyr, that I will exchange with any of the sisters
fora calls Illy mat or any other i totty ornamental
article. Would be glad to receive embroidery mu

Dear Nephews and Nieces: I hope you
have not thought that Uncle Will was neglecting
you. But all my letters wore written while I was
at home, but for a month or more I have been
traveling constantly, and therefore have had but
little time to write. When I last wrote I think we
had just returned from Key West, and though Aunt
Susie told me I might weary you if I took you with
me all over the country, wc must go through
Florida together mid then wo will llyjjust us far the
other way as possible. We roach Tampa by steamer
from Key West, and it is not at all an interesting or
pretty place, so we wilt pass through. Wc came
across from Palatka to Tampa, and now wc will go
back by Samord so that we can go down the St.
Johns river at night. One of the prettiest places wo
pass on our route is Kisslme City. The huge, lintel
there gives us an excellent breakfast. Klssltno is nt
the head of a lake of the same name, a very beauti
ful sheet of water, on which in w inter may be seen
steamboats of almost all sizes and any number of
sailboats with their white canvassglisten’n ; in the
sun. This is one of a chain of lakes that extends 1
think, nearly to Charlotte harbor, about one hun
dred miles below Tampa on the west coast. Many
of these lakes are simply springs and tho water
boils up and you can see a nickel dropped into tho
water forty feet deep. It seems strange to see a
steamboat plying about in a spring and a river flow
ing off from it. Not many of us have seen such. Wo
next pass “Lakeland,” which is a series of lakes
with villages and oiange groves scattered all through
the pine forest. One of Hie brightest places through
which we pass is O. lando, built like a city and lias a
thriving industrious look. Tho houses of course
are almost entirely of wood, but their many colored
paints give tho place a bright, cherry look. Wo
reach Sanford at last—a very pretty and thriving
place—and here wc take tho steamer for Jackson
ville. Almost all these places and hundreds of
others in Florida were built up and arc largely
owned by noitliein people, who: pen I their winters
here, either searching for health or the enjoyment
of hunting and fishing.
The river St. Johns is unlike anything yea have
ever seen. It is just n succession of nanow lakes,
connected 1y a rather narrow river. Tho Indian
name was much prettier than ours; they called it
We-la-ka, which means “chain of hikes.” The
water looks almost black from tho boat, but If you
take some of it in a glass it is nearly clear. Tho
place where wc take the boat in tho afternoon is io
wide that you can scarcely sec the other shore, and
the widest part of the Mississippi is small compare d
to it. As the stream goes out into the hike the sky is
dark, so that you can only see the bright, sparkling
foam under the bow of tho boat, and away out in
the distance you think it is darker where tho shore
ought to be. But as the steamer ploughs along wo
get nearer tho other shore, and it looks to us that
there is no way out, but suddenly from above our
heads a bright light shoots out far over the black
waters and we see tho entrance to a narrow river,
lam not very nervous, and yet the first tiino that
bright light gl an.o 1 over my head, I jumped. It is
an electric light and managed by tho pilot, who
turns it from side to s'do so that he may see how to
steer his boat. While he is doing that wo stand at
the side of the boat and see millions of water lilies
floating all around it; in fact, the boat just seems
to be resting in a bed of them, with their white
flowers nodding and dipping in the water as we
piass. We arc passing into a narrow river, and tho
boat goes very slowly in this crooked stream. Wo
go against the marshon one side, and tliobowof tho
boat almost touches tho low-hanging boughs on tho
other. Wo turn slowly and wind our way alongside
of tuo dark swamps, and the electric light is moved
from side to side, and we can look far out into tho
swamps. Sometimes the bout crashes into a tree
and you will tlilnk the boat is being torn to pilcces,
bnt wo will be all right. At Jacksonville the river
is very broad; Indeed it is the last of tho chain of
lakes. Jacksonville itself is an old place, but has
taken on new life as a winter resort, and Main
street is one of tho most busy business streets I
know. The city has about 30,0C0 people and more
hotels and larger ones then any city three times Its
size in the country. Tho water for the city Is sup
plied by several artesian wells which are in a Uttlo
park. There arc a number of i retty residence#, and
in winter when the visitors arc hero It is a bright
place. In the show windows you will sec hundreds
of stuffed alligators and hundreds of stuffed birds of
beautiful pilumagc, nnd oilier a:tides which arc
offered for sale as Florida curiosities, though most
of tho fish-scale jewelry which used to bo thought
very beautiful is made in tho Bohama Islands. I
suppose it does not matter, so tho rich northern
visitors buy them. But lam writing too much. 1
wanted to tell you about St. Augustine and Pablo
Beach, But 1 heard Aunt, Susie say she was going to
Florida this winter, and I know she will love to tell
you of what sho sees. Affectionately,
Uncle Will.
Correspondence.
Andrew M. Ros’. Hogan’s Bluff, Ga.—l am n little
be:'eleven years old. I have never been to school,
but mania tenches us at home, that is my sister ami
myself. We have no playmates, but do not get
lonesome, as we have lots of fun hunting hickory
nuts, ehlnquepins and sparkle berries. Wo have a
pretty place on the littlo Satilla river, and we get
fish, ciabs and oysters. My sister sends you a patch
each for ; o.ir quilt. I send a dime to put my name
in your Bible; I hope you will kindly do so, though
it is late. *
Your name shall go in; the squares aro beautiful.
Mollie Creel, Nor’, orne, Mo.—l have finished all
my duties about the house and will enjoy a few
moments in the delightful tusk of writing to Aunt
Susie and the cousins. This is my first attempt at
writing to this corner, and I am knocking ever so
timidly for admittance. Would Like to correspond
with some of tho lively cousins between sixteen
and eighteen years of age.
L -la Stewart, Amberson, / I sm a little girl
twelve years of age. I don’t go to school now, but
will start soon. I tend you a nicklo to help buy
your Bible. I hope my name will go in it.
Crissie Gatrett, Balt Springs, Ga.—l live near the
famous Bowden Lit Ills springs. Your paper is a
welcome visitor to our household. Wo enjoy your
letters so much. I will close by askin ' a question.
What book iu life has done you the most good.'
Blanch Hearin. Hillsboro, '■ rk.—J am a little girl
eight years old. My mother died when 1 was three
years old. lam living with my brother John; he
takes The Constitution; lie likes your paper very
much, and 1 love to read the children’s column. I
send you a nlcktoto help buy your Bible, and hope
ruy name shall go in.
Anna F. Taylor, Elberton, 3o.— As I am a new
cousin and have never written to you before, bojxi
you will admit me to your children’s column. lam
thirteen years old. Papa takes The Constitution,
and we all like it so much. I am not going to
school now, on account of mama being sb k; sho is
better now, and I will start to school again soon.
Annie Crymes, Wayneslxiro, Ga.—l have been
reading the children’s letters for two years, and
think them very nice. Sister and Igo to school at
homo; our cousin teaches us. lam not like some of
the cousins that have so many pets;l have only one,
that is a kitten. I think the answer to J. W. Gilll.
kin’s riddle is a baldhead. Am I right? I send you
asquarc for your memory quilt. 1 wish some of the
cousiusto correspond with me.
Bmlthcy Stubbs, Haddoo Station, Ga.—l wanted
my name iu your Bible, but am too late; was wait
ing to get my cotton out and sell it. I have a cotton
patch. Elster Annie and myself send you a sipmrc
apiece for your quilt. I guess Mr. Henry Grady is
Uncle Will. lum uot twelve years old.
Artie M. Baldwin, Paschal, Ga.: I vo had tho
measles. I was at tho fish pond playing In the
branch when I found that I was taking them, and
Vxjk cold, of course. I was glad that the rest of the
family had gotten well befoie I took them, for It
pKik every one In the house to wait On me. My
throat troubled me worse than anything else. I
thought I would choke to death, and every time I
would complain mama would bring everything she
cijiild think of that « us gixid for a sore throat anil
make me take a little of all, and none of it gave me
any relief. So finally she said, “I will try your
grandpa s remedy,” and she wrapped my throat up
In a ■ old wet cloth, i thought that would kill me
sill'’, but tbo nert morning wheu I woke up I was i
broken out all over and uiy throat nearly well. By
the time I got well I thought as Walter did —I was
glad that folks did not have measks but once in a
lifetime. I would like to hei r from some of the
cousius whose mothers have four children, to see if
they have to wear their sister's clotl.oi that she has
outgrown, as I do, and if the third child is last in
every thing, as I am. Buddie had to go to Atlanta
to ti e exposition, because he was the oldest child
and only boy. Sister must go to Macon to the state
fair, b.'eause she was the oldest girl, amt tho baby
has to be humored more than I am, because she is
the youngest, I would like to hear from some of
the cousins, that is the tliiixi child, and sec if they
have the same to contend with that I do. with the
promise ti.ut 1 shall have the same ndvi n’.ages that
the older children have when I get their age. lam
just eleven years old, so 1 think my lime will como
yet.
Celia Boswell, Talladega, Ala.—Please put my let
ter iu the paper. Put my little buddle’s letter iu tho
paper. lam writing to you today. Send my buddle
back to life, lam going to send you n beautiful
baby boy; you’ll bo'ligh cd With him. I siw Ra
chel i:n I Relc?ea in the Bible. I saw Goliath; that
ain't a good story, its a l>ad one. I saw littlo Jesus
in another book. I put my finger on him when ho
was sleeping, on, Aunt Susie, ho Is ■ uch a sweet lit
tle boy. Raphael made the picture. Fornarina is his
sweetheart. I am going to send you some of my
golden hair, from tho gulden spring, Send me some
of your silver, old hair. lam going to send you my
precious pet lamb—oh, my! Sir ( level mil is a nice
mat', and Mrs. Cleveland is a nice lady. She was
the swe. test li dy there. She is the sumo lady that
lived in Washington city. Aunt Susie, yon must
como to sec me. 1 am throe years old in July. 1
think Hint’s all.
Note—This little letter is from a dear little girl
only three yeara old, and was written just as she
talked to her aunt.
Paul Jones.—l sec so many cousins wants to know
if I am existing, and about the baby, of course 1 am,
but not to nlirse another baby. I have throwed down
the gauntlet—youngun I menu. 1 will tell you how
it was: I went down to the courthouse meandering,
and there leaning on the gate post at the public
pump, was a fellow about my size, red linirand
freckled live. Ito had five young brats with him,
and the youngest wits silting on his hip in quiet
conteiiiin.'iit. His back was screwed up to suit the
convenience oftlic ridtr, in fact, it looked like a
crooked t ok. As I gazed on this queer acene vis
ions of homo swept through my’ bruin. Cousins, I
wits born again. I mentally pondered-IT.ul there
you are. I could see myself in this l.od Moon, (bis
name,) and there I vowed, and I have kept it too—
but troubles never end here. Frying greasers, l arch
itr; coffee, and hotisekeei lug, oil me! I will tell you
the cause of my trouble, I menu work. It is neu
ralgia mid a thousand aches and pains, in the gen*
cral malinger, 1 see such hot. times that 1 have con
cluded that when i take u notion t > marry the girl
must bring along u eertilieiitc from a reliable physi
cian Hint she is sound, 1 as neither a liuuo back nor
neuralgia, nor hystines, nor—nor—misery In the
toe, nor every misery that “flesh is heir to,” I would
like to pay a tribute to my dog, Abraham, whoso
bones bleach on the hillside, over tho branch, lie
fell a victim to Hie fate of nil suck-egg dogs. What Is
it the poet says about “writing faults in sand?”
I’. B.—The longer "old Ed’s” mustaeh grows, the
meaner he gels.
Lena Belle Dnncvcnt, Madison, Ga.—Well, cous
ins, the exposition is over mid I did not go. I was
very glad 1 didn’t, though I wanted to tee Aunt
Susie and The Constitution’s olllce. My papa
\vent and he says he Is glad lie didn't carry me, for
I would have got lost. I have no pets except two
sweet little sisters. I would like to exchange retu
rnee seed for daisy seed with some of the cousins. I
went to see my great-grandmother not long since,
and crossed the river hi a I atau—tho first time I
ever rode on (he water. Oh, how dillglitl’ut it was.
I do wish some of tho cousins 1 a l been there to ride
with me. Aunt Susie, I send ten cents for my little
sister, Mary Blanch, mid myself to put our names in
your Bible. Also, a dollar for my papa to renew bls
subscription to The Constitution, 1 scud a card for
your scrap book. Love to all.
W. C. lluniil, Walnut Gro'o, Miss.—l nm n south
ern farmer boy. I live on a farm, love the farm
work. Wo raise corn, cotton, oats, potatoes, water
melons, peas, and ninny other tilings to numerous
to mention. Tho cotton crop this year lulls short,
tho corn crop very good, sugar cane very sorry, yeas
a full crop. The farmers have nut sowed any oats
yet, but will soon. The farmers liev •nn or 'a'liza
t.'on they cull tho Farmeiu’ National nWmieo,
which is growing very fast, and it seems to be help
ing the farmer out. Well, boys, lets do all wo can
on the farm, and make our few dimes, mid live ns
happy ns wo can, mid sit up at night to rend The
Constitution. Girls do all you can in tho kitchen,
and about tho house. Boys, lets keep good company
and live honest mid truthful, and you w ill I.a-c a
good character. A good character Is above all things

except by your own acts. If any one speaks evil of
you, let your life he so that no one will believe him.

iu debt unless you see away to get out.
lucy Jolllffo, Boyce, Va.—l am a littlo girl twelve
years old, and would like to be one mon: added to
your list of correspondents. I often read the little
cousins' letters mid enjoy them very miieh. 1 started
to school lost Monday. I often go out In the woods
and gather hickorynuts. I have a bug full. 1 wish
I could divide with you. 1 went to the fair last
Thursday. Agricultural fair In Winchester; saw a

been attending a missionary meeting.* Dr. Mnghlm
was the minister's name who carried on the meet
ing. Isi nd five cents for your Bible.
Eimmo JI!., Enn, Gn.- My ether letter either
didn’t reach its destination, or it went to explore
the contents of the wa-te basket. Dear Aunt Susie,
ain’t you somewhat severe with your nieces, to
think them aslimuc lof their nmueii, because they
slgji fictitious ones? We value yourgood opinion
too higlily, to allow you to think that of us. Aunt
Susie, you know you have a real good group of girls.
Sweet cousin-, you ought not to annoy Aunt Susie,
by perpetually H iking tor the address of the other
cousins. Why do you not make It known, through
these columns, that you wish the address of that
person? lam couvinced that you would obtain It.
J. Gibe Duggar, I have read “She,” mid also several
other works of Haggard's. I was quite disappointed
In “Dawn” though, as It was nothing but a common
novel, ido wonder what Las become of “Nila. ’
Ludlo Beane, a”Willie and Blaneho Rushfn,
Thomasville, Gu.--We have decided that It is better
to write late than never. Os course, you know we
appreciate Tim Constitution, above ull other
pa;,i We must tell you übi ui a trip wo intend o
take to tho bay. We are going to get a young man
to lake us, In an ox cart. Now It must bo nothing
but an ox cart, for wo want tho trip to last us long
as possible. One of our number intends to do nil
that if in her power to captlvafo film, but one in
tends to help him drive and talk to him ull the way
down there. Now don't you think the third party
will have a poor showing? A party of young men
went fox hunting lids mornlug. Os course, they
had a iack of hounds, but a'young man In the
crowd won all the praise by catching tho fox him
self. If Carter Black is up tho tree yet, in such
weather as this, he Is certainly getting n drench ng.
Neither of us arc extra cooks, wo only help a littP.
Our horseback riding conics next. The first rides
well, tho second tails oil', mid the third does not ride
at all. Wo do not have to drive up the cows, wo are
not very smart any way. Wo would Hire to cor
respond with some of the older cousins,. With much
love, wc close.

the highest bridge in the state. I wrote to James
Carleton, ol Oxford, Tenn., but my letter was not
