Give him A brood of little ones nestling in the lap of the one ho chose from among all others as most fitted to bear his name in the home of tbeir joint making, he rises beforo sun and takes no heed of the going thereof, working incessant ly toward the one clear goal-happi-r noss and comfort for those near and dear, inspire,him with love or goad him by necessity, he becomes a Her cules dr a Titan, miracles are per formed by his brain and brawn which the Man of Galilee might well have wrought had he not in Ills Infinite wisdom and mercy left many, things for other men to do in the pride of strength and tho humility of loving service. Cheer him with the prattle of children or reward bim with the kiss and the handclasp of dependence and faith, he goes forth dally to work marvels. Compared with city llfeu is farm life a drudg?ry? The farmer rises to find the world bathed In the glory of the dawn acroLu tho mea dows and- pastures and waving fields of cotton and grain, millions once worshipped. HIB view ls unobstruct ed, the horizon sweeps limitless be fore him, unimpeded by the mean lit tle things of life. He fills his lunge to their full with puro fresh air, bals amic and lige-giving. His eyes clear as the sun rises; hip- brain leaps forth to the calls of duty and the day; Iiis muscles quiver like a race horse's, for another race 1B to be run and the stakes are success and prosperity, hung high lr sight of those he took before all th? ?vorld and brought in to the world. He remembers the parable of tho loaves and fishes. He goeB forth with a handful of seed, and comes back with a harvest of plenty; another miracle har, been wrought before his eyes, he was a party to it. He sees in the wake of the plow the daisy which inspired "liable" Burns and while there is no time to pick it from the moist, fragrant earth, for the Bun is mounting high, he recalls the poet's words and they are pleasing to tho mind, and he is glad it is given to him to be near, very near, the in spirational things of'the world. Night draws on and weary-mlnd ?d, weary-muscled he turns home ward. The doorway frames a pic ture-wife and little ones are wait ing. They help him with his work al the barn, laughing in high glee at the little, inobstructice, 'unimpor tant things ot life; hand in hand, with a little ono perched high on the shoul der throne, they go in together and fall lo the meal to which hunger and health give savor and sauce. The lamp is lighted and he tells the stories of Jack and Jill, of little Jack Horner and then at bed time draws near ho. gives a serious turn to the chatter and little heads bow'low as little voices lisp, "Now I lay mo down to sleep," and. two pair of adult eyes mist as two adult brains pray God the Bleep that knows no earthly wak-, las may be Song, long defer ted. Within the city, it is d'T3rent, men. a- rep lotting and doing evil deeds, women are fc"2--ttlng modesty and virtue, children are being brought up to scorn their parents, to live lab orious days and riot- through licen Uons nights. Anotherp nervous day. ls giving - way to another nervous night, brains' aro tired and mu s o', es ache that have been chained to d?Bk and machine all day. There is neith er time no inclination for chati er, wearily the world seeks Its cirtuouo ccu^h or goss the way of the forget ful and the mad, to come suddenly at the end., oj the blind thoroughfare and know at last it has all been purpose less,'resultl ess chasing of tho butter flies of pleasure. , On the farm the day's work '?as been good, lt 'has betr< productive, hundreds will be fed becau?c ono has toiled. . Thc little onos drop off to sleep and ara put to bed. Together those two who mean all the world tu each other stand for a. moment; and look out on the starlit world and all is peace and plenty, the petty mean nesses of - life pall before'the Immen sity of opportunity; another day ls done, but a new one will Soon dawn; the world is beautiful and life will bo gathered and they may rest through the winter months and read and pinn gr?&t things for the future. Content that so long as the merdea of God prevail and tho miracles of nature are. performed, os in the mil lions of years gone by, their place and plenty In the world are assured. And this is drudgery! Thanksgiving is a good thing; thanksliving is better. I, They nay that happiness 'is found only, in tue dictionary; but it seems that on' honeBt young- man, married to a healthy, happy, truly Christian girl, who,loves her home, comes Just .about as "tear human happiness as i ever mortal. gets, and such a v man will not bo po ungrateful as to swear, got drunk,- or do a cruel or mean'act. Somo people never run inte^u?t?f they Jump into it. , Sorco of our exchanges are telling "how. t?e.farmer's wife can earn money," jnst as though she was not every day earning a great deal moro than sha goto. t Tho merchant who lets out tho i?uuc?t liow! urcauBo somo farmer orders a bill af goods from a cata logue house, is not slow'ia ceudint; away for farm producta1 it td eau buy cheaper from a dis tn nco than hd can from, th? _n*>!ghtvr?rlnc farmer*. - Tho Bible tells about "tho Sins of Omlfsion'and Commission." but I nev er reallied what it mean't until I had oom? dealings With a few of Ander son's grocers. Some fellowe I eeo look and isfrt as though thc . milk of human fclndneao had been left in a pan over hight and big thunderstorm had como up. le's Letter T?ii? is Thanksgiving month, tho month eacred to pumpkin pie and roast turkey with, cronberry sauco fixings. Have we not all something to give thanks tor? On tho whole it has been a good year. Our barns are well filled. WOihaye cosy/- comforta ble homes, and tho; dear faces sur round the evening 'lamp while the log crackles and sputters ou the hearth. Some of us may bo light in pocket? but there is no reason why wo should not all be light in heart. If we have done some 'soul' a kindness, and helped some stumbling burden bearer over a hard place, we are cer tain to ha' i that einging in our hearts which ms cs us think' of the Angel Chorus. . A good, practical education, in cluding a good trade, is a better out fit for a boy than a grand estate with the drawback of an empty mind. Many parents have slaved and pinched to leave their children rich when half tho sum thus lavished would have profited them for moro had it been devoted to tho cultivation of their minds, the enlargmeat of their capaci ty to think, observe and work. Tho one structure that no neighborhood can afford to do without, ls the school house. If your boy begins io sow his wild oats lt's a Bure sign that threshing time should be close nt hand.

For several years the south has been enjoying a period of prosperity and little did our people dream, when thiB year's crops were planted, that anything would happen ere the croso of the year to check our forward movement. But just os the clouds of ten obscure the sun, after a morning of glorious sunshine, so bas the Eu ropean war cast a shadow over tho South. Many dollars have been lost on ac count of tho cheap cotton and high priced food products. The w?r hasn't injured any other part of the ?United States like the cotton states. It hasn't injured the wheat growing sections or the meat raising States, for both of these products are high In price. This trouble hun caused a great many peo ple to make a new start towards prog ress, by sow in;, grain ned making their livlnj ut home nm! not looking to cotton for u /erythtng they U6e.
