How many a weary restless child

in tin- children’s happy, quiet nest!
They’ll took on many fragrant flowers
And dream how they grew in some sweet
bower.
And thank Aunt Susie o’er and o’er
For helping them with her worldly store.
While sleeping in their little beds
The nurse will come, ami by their heads
At ill place flowers fragrant and fair,
So When they wake will see them there.

a woman, who lett it thole; but the
ji '..rs did not believe it, nor could he prove
it, so Im will go up for ten yeirs.

were willing to ride, so we all three rode
him to a branch about half a mile from

mates wanted to ‘go fast,’ so I started h tn

Bernice Vondelle <slbson. Conclave, N.
C.—Dear Junior: So many are opposed to
reading novels and they are today the
best of reading. Os course there are some
novels unfit for the pure mind of girls,
1 would not advise any one to read dime
novels or French novels; but the only real
living Is loving, A tale of life and love,
sympathetically told, will .lo more good
than a hundred sermons to soften the hard
ened heart and set the current of love
flowing through it. George McDonald gave
up his pulpit in Scotland because tie
thought he could reach hearts tnpre direct
ly and vastly more of them as a novelist.
There are bad novels, of course. Eminent
authors have written them and their poison
has contaminated many goo.l homes. With
care these novels can be avoided. I would
be pleased to have some one from the
north to write to me.

C.tlla Lily Mann. Newport, N. C.—Dear
Junior: I enjoy reading the nice letters
from the young people. I am sixteen years
old and live in the beautiful little town
of Newport. I will choose for a subject
"A Good Name." To win a good name
you must have good behavior. We should
always remember that it Is not commend
able in us to deal hardly or imperiously
toward anybody because we happen to be
in a. higher condition of life, and those we
might oppress or offend far below us can
he no excuse for us in these cases. There
are scaieely any to be found in tile lower
walks of life who are not capable of get
ting revenge m some way at some time
or other. If those possessing power and
authority are vv.cked and evil disposed,
they are sure to < xerc se these diaboli. al
propensities at the expense of their weak
er and poorer neighbor. They perch upon
the lofty brandies and have built their
nests far up in the foliage, have grown
above all fellings of humanity and have
become insensible to the widows’ tears
and the orphans' er.es never reach their
cold, unfie,mg hearts. A good name is
not always kept. W<> live in a world of
splenitic and jealous people. Some would
rob you of your character and good name;
some would suspect your motives for your
amiable qualit es and la nevolent acts.
But we can be earnest and sincere. We
can strive to do onr whole duty In life
and keep it pur.' and spotless, trusting
our mums tn the fat. that follows. I
would to correspond with any ot the cou
sins mj’ age.

Junior: 1 am sitting lure now with the
shadows of . ycnlng stealing softly around
me. I am dreaming of an imaginary pic
ture; of a cheerful, homelike scene. There
is a. large, airy up.irtm< tit, with white,
lilmy curtains gracefully hung from the
bay window's. There are easy chairs scat
tered .about here and there, but In the cen
ter of the room is a ehair mote luxurious
than Hie rest; its cushions are softer, its (
I drapery finer. This beautiful chair has an !
i oicupant- a gentle lady with a calm, pure 1
. face. There is just a touch of silver in her :
I dark hair, ami lure and there you can j
j discern a few furrows on her brow, but
' her eyes urn just as bright, her tones I
just as sweet as when in youth. Shall 1
disclose the name of this charming lady? I
will toll yon, h. r name is “Aunt Susi. ."
and around her ar.' hi r nieces and t:. phews
some from th..- bl.uk. Icy north, bn: with
Warm hearts nevertheless; others dwell in
j eastern lands. The majority comes from
our Sunny South, and in their hands are
flowers and fruits. Their bright faces re
flect the sunshine of their hearts. God bless
Hunt! A few come from California, that
eternal land of sunshine, and flowers. They '
are gathered from the north and the south,
