TV e Q-oiuq of ljf<>.
The days, the doubts, the dreams of pain
Are over, not to come again.
And found, at last, from the great night
lias dawned the day star of delight:
?fy baby lies against mo pressed
Thus, mother of God, are mothers blessed.
His little head upon my arm.
His littl? body soft and warm,
His little feet that cannot, stand.
Held in the- heart of this, my hand;
His little mouth close on my breast—
Thus. Mary’s Son. are mothers blessed,
All dreams of deeds, all dreams of day
Are. very faint ami far away;
Yet you some day will stand upright
And light God’s foes in manhood's might.—
You—tiny, worshiped, clasped, caressed—
Thus mother of God, are mothers blessed.
Whatever grief may come to be.
This hour divine goes on for me.
Ail glorious is my little span,
Since 1, like God. have made a man.
A little image of God’s best—
Thus. Mary's Son. are mothers blessed.
Come change, eomr worlds of tears,
Come endless i-h.iin of weary years;
Tin y cannot take away the hour
That -:’v-s me you- my bird, my flower;
Thank God for this! Leave God the rest!
Thus mother of God. are mothers blessed!

A young woman north intends to travel

have answered hundreds of letters from the
sisters in regard to my little pets—the fer
rets. Last spring-It was very plain to mo
that some one was needed to help feed and
take care of them, and I hired a little col
ored boy fourteen years old, but on ac
count of his color I was much afraid he
would not be the help I wanted; but on the
contrary he has ptoven himself ill right.
Soon there will be less rats in the sunny
south if my ferrets that I've sent to Flori
da. Georgia, Texas. In fact, every south
ern state with the exemption of Virginia,
do their ditty. S~o many have asked me to
write to the Kingdom my success this year.
I’ve ftad larger litters than last, but only
one has h't-ul three litters, so take it all in
all. I've had just as many as last lear. We
have a.bout, twenty-five old ones that we
intend to keep another year; lots of young
ones all sizes, and almost all shades—
white ami brown. The older a white one
grows, the yellower it gets. We have kept
ail of our ferrets on board floors cover,M
with dirt and gravel, but next yerrr wo ex
pect lo keep most of them on the ground,
and thus get rid of lice entirely. By the
way. watch them eloselj'. and if they ap
pear, apply insect powder at once, ami one
application is sufficient.

I ,|o all the family sewing, with the help
of good patterns and a sewing machine.
My husband's shirts and bl .us. s are al
ways made of the b.-st material, choosing
colors that, will stand a great <1 il ot w isli
ii*g without fading. The shirts are line*!
to tlm depth of twelve inches with the
same material, making them much strong
er than those that, are b.aight ready mule.
Iliune-tnade blouses lit belter ami stay but
toned better than tile ready made article,
for I always cut the button holes cross
wise and put them closer together. Denim
or vc*ry h avy shirting i. u.-ually chosen
forth- in. N,w that nnlauikicr, d while
shirts with good linen bosoms can b.- pur
ch.is.«l for . r >u cents each, I see n.j economy
In making them at home. Ta.- work is us
uailv well done on tln-s, and they lit well.
For’myself and the little girls 1 make al
most ex, rj thing we w* ar. A. 1 have .1
plain waist pattern that fits tne pcrleetly,
even mj- b - t dresses are but little trouble-.
For morning w- ar 1 usually buy gingham,
1.. can,a it wears mm !i Is-tter than calico.
My favorite * <i!ors tr.- l-lue ami brown,
as xvith ordinary car.- tii.-s.- colors do no:
fade in washing, ami the dr. ss xvill look
well as long as il lasts. I''.-r my best
dresses I usually buy plain goods, or those
with small ligur.-s or plaid, as they are
suitable lor making over for a ehild. A
good quality of woolen go.-ds is n'ways the
most , nornieal. for after it lias be, it worn
until th.- fashions • ham:'?, its nppearame
ni -x I. entirely ehang, d by dyeing it a

811111 ARP’S LETTER
Written for Tlie Constitution.
"Hard, luird, indeed, is the contest for
freedom and the struggle for liberty.”
"There Is no rest for the wicked." Tins
world is all a fleeting show and Jordan is
a hard road to travel, I believe! are
other ejaculations I might utter.® for ot
late there has been trouble on the old man’s
mind. You see, I was invited over here to
talk to these people in a humorous ami
philosophic way and my wife said as the
Larder was getting low ami the girls needed
some more winter clothes, and th,* tax
man was bobbing around and the grand
children would be expecting something for
Christmas, she thought 1 had better go.
So she p.-u-ked my valise with my best
clothes and fortified me with a little drug
store of camphorated oil and tl ‘line! ami
lix'er medicine and paregoric and cough
drops and quinine and h ■ ida-.-he powders,
and so forth and So on. We kissed go id by
all round ami I departed feeling like I was
being driven off from home by sad me.-s
--sity. I took the Seaboard Air-I.im- at A ■
Lanta bound for Charlotte, via Monroe, but
our engine broke down at Greensboro about
dark and this delayed is three long, dreary
hours, and when we reached Monroe it was
way after midnight amt tlie Charlotte train
had gone There were three nice lades
aboard and several gentlemen, who wen-,
greatly disappointed, but the conductor was |
kimi ami sympathetic and said there was a I
circus train near by that was going to
Charlotte right away ami if we didn’t ,
mind riding thirty miles in a cab, lie would I
get us the privilege. The ladies
said y,-s. and we did, too. and ,
climbcxl in. it was as dark as
Erebus. W<- felt our way to lind s .*ts
hut there was nothing but. s mie long tool
boxes whose lids were hard ami cold. There
was no fire and the wind blcxv through a
broken glass on the back of my ’m ail. The
ladies chatted away merrily, for they were
going horn*’, but 1 wasn’t and I ■ ouldn’t
chat to save my life, for I xvas very tired
and thought of that good, soft b d at j
home. By and by tlie conductor cam,, in
with .1 lantern and took up our tick, is ami ;
est us In the dark again. About tliai tim*- ;
the animals got r Jtless and the lion r.-iw
.111 unearthly howl. You see this was a r
menagerie train.
"Tm- animals went in two by txvo,
The elephant and the kangaroo,”
and every time the cars careened about or !
sxvung round a curve xv, could hear sonic I
devilish noise ahead of us. "Oh, mercy,” |
said the youngest girl, "suppose they br< ■ k |
out! They will cat the sweetest ami
ienderest first,” said I, "Lions alw ix s do.
1 pulled mj’ cloak up over the hack ot my
head and ruminated. For txvo long h nir:-
we jogged along, forth" train was rumen :
slow to suit the xvild beasts ami w,- x\ • -
■ f 110 consequence. It was mar 3 o el**- **
when xxe got to the suburbs of (.’’harl-itt*-
and stopped. Nobody was looking fo>- u
nobody rushed forward to n - - lie no
porter nor hackman no omnibus or -.-ti-ei-t
cars, not. even a. xvagon or an ox cart or a
darky. The moon had hid herself to k- p
from seeing our misery, but we s*- a
our gr ps and wraps ami satcl’.els
.ml made a march for the eleetr:.-
lights. My companions soon separated
from me and I marched in single li!*- with
my big valise full of clothes ami th.- drug
store, and struggled for three quart- rs ot a
mile up tile long and hard sidewalk. I am
not. used to are lights, am! tile flickering
shadow of , v-r.x tree ami t* b .tph p*,l*
looked Ilk* a. man in an,bush who was
fixing to hold ni<- up. 1 had forgotten xvh ti
the hotels were, and unconsciously p:; • d
th,-tn. for the doors were all shut, ami there
was no sign. lly and by I m»*t a policeman
ml he conducted inc back to th'.- ho'. I.

man is far awax' from home, hi;' warm". I
xveleo'.ne is an inn. But 1 did not r. st well.

sctambled eggs ami stale oysters, d!s

tin- tig.-r got loose and came proxvling an I
hoxvllng around the car anti somehow I got
,t hatchet out. of the le.dmix and lifted tiro
young lady through the port hole upon the i
ioof, and volunteered to defend her with i
my life and my sacred honor. The ti ;
made desperate leaps to get up there, but |
every tlm.- he got a paw on tit,- eave. I ent ;
it off and let him fall ba -k again. I don’t '
ki < w wh it b< cim 5 of the oth r ladit n, but
think that other wild beasts got In ind .at j
them up. Th.- men had all fl< d pretnatur, ;
*y, but I saved the pretty girl. th. sweetest :
ami t, ti*l, rest, before I woke up. Who :
wouldn’t, In a dream? What curl,ins things
are dreams, anyhow! Tile next trouble on
the old man’s mind came over him at Salis
bury, where 1 was billed to lecture
that night. On my arrival 1 found
that august body, the L’r- sbyt. ri.m
synod in session. Preachers ami elders
innumerable were scatter,*l among the g*>o*)
people all over town. They were holding
night sessions, and wouldn’t have ad
journed for, McKinley or Grov, r * leveland
or the yelloxl fever or a lire. But this was
mi: all, the Episcopal bishop wjs to lecture
on the Holy Land, where he had been re
cently. and 1 knew that 1 would fall be
tween ami get smothered. Mr. Marsh
seemed to feel very bad, amt apologized bj
s.ix-ing that when he booked m,- he ,1,1 not
know of these meetings. "Well." said I.“tlm
saints xvill all go to these meet ngs. tint
you have sinners in this town.” lie admit
ted that there were some. And so 1 Went
ahead ami lectured, and xvas surprised to
see before me a select and cultured audi
ence, select, and I hope cleet acco'.’eling to
Presbyterian theology.
So all is well that ends well The next |
evening found me at the nice little town of i
Marion, in western North Carolina, axvay '
up in the land of tho sky. They are good ;
people there, 1 know, for they tilled the
courthouse that night ami gave me an ova- .
tion. The old soldiers are thick in that •
region, and they cam,* out to hear in**, and
some of us got tog* ther aYtd t ilke.l ot old
Bob Lee and Joe Johnston ami Generals
Earlj' and Render and Whiting ami Hoke
and Ransom and Pettigrow and Clingman '
and others. Their eyes watered ami their .
hearts burned within them, and they got
closer and closer together. What a peo- !
pie these tar-heels are—-these descendants i
of the Scotch! About every other name is
Scotch, a McLane or McFall or McLaurin j
or McArthur or MeSomethingelse, ami then :
there are Alexanders everywhere and Cald- ;
wells and Carlyles. After the
lecture we had a musicale at the
hotel by the gifted Gruber family, who
keep the hotel. Mr. Gruber and Mrs. Gru

much music during my long life, but I
never beard any better anyxvhere. How lit*
old man’s fingers d d dance upon the
strings; how sweetly did th** still handsome
matron sing the “Last Rose of Summei’’
and other old-time songs of Scotland! What
