[Southern Farm Magazine of Baltimore for July.] No people on earth have greater natural facilities for beautifying their homes than the people of the South. So many indigenous grasses, so many native flowering plants, so many beautiful shade trees, such a long growing season, all combine to make the task of embellishing the home with nature's rarest gifts comparatively easy. And there is great profit in such work. A home without flowers or grass or shade or brooks is a home without inspiring attractions. It i6 too often a home without happiness and without profit. The exhuberance of spirits that finds its outflow in the planting of shrubs and flowers and the adornment of same reveals a sense for all that is beautiful in life and elevated in morals. The employment of our leisure hours show the bent of our inclinations. Where there are no shade trees, no parterres of flowers, no pleasure grounds with swings and comfortable seats, no magazines or newspapers to relieve toil or make leisure hours profitable, what can we expect the boys on the farm to do? For their pleasures they too often visit the country store, indulge in coarse jokes and chaffering nonsense, debase their sense of duty and diminish every day their mental horizon and lower their ^ moral plane. ^ Cowpeas with Corn. The main corn crop is usually "laid by" early in July in nearly all the border States. It would be very profitable to the farmers if at the last plow>{' ing of the corn cowpeas should be sown in the middle of the rows immediately in advance of the plows or cultivators. In no way can the crop of cowpeas be made more profitable for feeding purposes. When grown with * - the corn at this period they have ample time for maturing before the advent of frost. Having the cornstalks for support, the vines and peas are protected from contact with the earth and the peas are kept in a sound condition throughout the winter months. After the corn is harvested oattle and swine especially will find rich gleanings throughout the winter months, and will need but little other food if the area of peas sown will average one-fourth of an acre to the head of stock. Sheep are also very fond of the peas and pea vines, and when the snow is on the ground will even burrow through the snowdrifts in search of them. If we would reassure our restless hearts that our future is in the hands of God, we have but to scan our past. Can any man that is not altogether blind look over the ay he has traVftTftfid without onmriao onH flWP flft hP sees it marked everywhere by mysterious footprints otber than his own ?even the footprints of the living God?

"Secedera,'' (be Old Scotch Prenbylerlans, Increase 50 Per Cent In Ten Year*. Washington Times. The Presbyterians of the United cq\?ora 1 Krunnli. OllllW aiC UIVIUCU !UIV? OV * V?V%1 es, each brauch having a distinct organization. The Associate Reformed Presbyterians, found in the South and commonly known as "Seceders," constitute one of the branches. The "Secedern," who are psalm singers, are a type of Presbyteriauism as it existed in Scotland, its original home, where only psalms, the hymns of the 1 ancient Hebrews, were admitted as proper to be sung in religious worship. A relaxation in this regard long since ti took place among Presbyterians iu 0 most other countries, hymns of human k composition being permitted to be si used iu church services equally with h the inspired songs of the Bible. e Iu this country the Scottish or f psalm-singing branches of the Presbyterian Church in the North and West li coalesced in I808, the name of "United q Presbyterians," but the psalm-singing 0 Presbyterians of the South held aloof from the coalition and retained tbeir tl old name of "Associate Reformed ii Presbyterians." Ii NOW TRYING TO UNITE. 7 These two bodies of psalm-singing g Presbyterians have for several years 1< been considering the subject of organ- c ic union, l/ne Kev. unver jonnsoii, ?oft-south Carolina, by direction of the a Associate Reformed Presbyterian Sy- q nod of the South, the highest ecclesi- t astical body of that denomination, ^ bore the fraternal greetings of the f synod in 1900 to the General Assembly s at Chicago of the United Presbyterian t Church. o The greetings reciprocated in cordial * expression the desire that the time 8 should come when their churches, 11 which are one in matters of doctrine ? aud discipline, sboald be also one in 0 organic action. The following year, in a convention a of United Presbyterians, held at E Winona Lake, Ind., Mr. Johnson, 11 who had been invited to attend, and 6 make an address, was presented on the * floor ot ine convention who a gavei, ? which had been made expressly for * the Southern branch of the Church. y The gavel was of wood secured of T Gairney Bridge, Scotland. On one ? side was inserted a piece of stone from Mars Hill, where Paul preached to ? the Athenians, on the other side a stone from the monument that mark- * the grave of the PAaraoh who oppress- . ed the children of Israel, while the front was inlaid with olive from the , mount overlooking Jerusalem. Under the words "Gairney Bridge" on the gavel was inscribed the date "December, 1733," the latter being the a year in which Ebenezer Erskine and t his co-adjutors met at Gairney Bridge t and organized the movement, which fi came to be popularly known in Scot- t land as the "Secession" Church, and e which was the progenitor in this ? country of the "Associate Reformed c Presbyterian" Church, the members of a which are still familiarly known as c "Seoeders." 1, OPPOSED ROYAL INFLUENCE. ? L Erskine and his followers had pro- t tested against the prelatizing iuflueuce 0 of the English crown, which had g caused the Church of Scotland, as 6 they believed, to degenerate from v what it was in the days of the solemn I league and covenant. So far as doc- l trine and practice are concerned, the <3 "Seceders" of the South have retained t more of the Scotch type of Presbyteri- t auism, as it existed prior to the reign e of Charles II, than any other branch I of the Presbyterian Church in America, and in this respect they are in striking contrast with all other Christian denominations in the South. c The Seceders are a small denomina- c tion, but, under the inspiration and 0 active leadership of its board of home 1 missions, tne memoersnip 01 me ae- s nomination has increased more than <3 50 per cent within the last ten years, f Most of the ministers of that denomi- b uation for more than sixty years have been educated at Due West, S. C., v that place being the seat ofErskine t College and of the Erekine Theological Seminary, institutions which the " Seceders established in the early part of the last century. r] Keeking a Customer. j. Every man in business is looking $ for some one to buy everything he t carries in stock. He is anxious to get 4 some one interested in every article. c When the goods have been put on tbe t shelves he is at once interested in getting them out of stock and into other \ Hands, and the sooner he gets the goods into a customer's hands the better is the movement as a business venture. The profit may not be as I great as the merchant would make e were he to hold the goods for many e months, but be would then perhaps, a take ohances on their selling at a pro- } fit at all. The best way therefore, to \ get tut; uusiullibi ib iu ue unci uiuj c early, and get him into the interesting t part of the conversation with re'er- 1 ence to values and stocks, and keep "\ the matter interesting until the cus- g tomer appreciates the good to be ob- a tainednow and the advantage of buy- <3 in? now. Most merchants really un- t derstand these points and are anxious t to unload as fast as they can after I loading up. They want to fill their stock with good things and the'1 are anxious to get the goods into the bands of the appreciative in the community, e A good article is the stock makes the c stock look better ; but a good article sold to a good customer widens the c audience of appreciative purchasers and gives the store a speaking friend who will say where she got the good9 c and bow good she thinks they are. In planning for business therefore, a necessity is to bave the stock that will please the customer' aud, having the article, to get its appreciative features before the people as early as possible. 8 Tell as many good points of the article as is possible, and keep the peo- ? pie interested all through the season t to insure their buying. If talking of the attractiveness of the goods will not sell them, the quality ought to be I improved so that the people would be * more willing to come in and buy. c The quick sale helps to make a fair profit and the man who has the stock to offer and who is able to tell about f it attractively aud temptingly will ' get his profit without delay. The envious by their envy confess their inferiority ; the appreciative by g their appreciation display their equali- fi ty the forgiving by their forgiveness t< show forth their superiority. h Let us only be patient; and let God h our Father teach his own leaann hia w own way. Let ub try to learn it quickly ; but do not let us fancy that v he will ring the school bell and send C1 us to play before our lesson is learned. ?Kingsley. w ?? * ? y, When your eyes are weak, go to Mllford's el and get a pair of ilawk'tj old reliable eye- jy glasses. ~ A TOU A IlvlnfC coal, and with its glow It touched another coal, when, lo, The dark form into radiance grew, And light and cheer beamed forth am*.

HOTEL KEYS. "hey Are Carried Off by Gaerts Who Forget to Give Them L'p. "Our key fitter is one of the most in?pormt men on our staff," said the manager f a large New Orleans hotel. "He is ept busy every day of the year, and ametimes he is so rushed with w^t-k that e has to call in an assistant. It is no xaggeratlon to say that he averages 9A V-n-rro o rloTT " LULLl IV uu atjo u uuj? "But I would suppose," remarked a stener, "that even a big hotel would acuire a sufficiency of keys in the course f time." "So it does," replied the manager, "if tie public would only let it keep 'em; but ; won't. It would astonish anybody not i the business to know how many guests ralk off with their room keys when they jave the house. When the average man ets ready to depart, he packs his valise, >cks his door and then goes dircct to the ashier's wicket to settle his bill. When hat formality is attended to, he is generlly in a rush to get to the depot and is uite apt to forget that he has omitted o return his key at the clcrk's desk. That, at any rate, is the way I account or so much absentmindednoss on the ubject. The clerk doesn't discover that he key is gone until the chambermaid pplies for it to clean up the room, which 3 probably an hour or two after the ;uest has taken his departure. Then lOthing remains but to call in *the key itter and tell him to prepare a duplicate ,3 quickly ?s he can. "Formerly the hotels tried* to guard gainst this innocent kleptomania," the aanager went on, "by having their keys uade very large and cumbersome autl ttaching them to enormous metal tags, ho Mn.n ho5nc render it imnossible to ?ut them in one's pocket. To that end hey were probably a success, but they pere such an unmitigated nuisance otherrise, and gtaests complained so bitterly it the annoyance of handling them, that hey were generally discarded. You will till find the plan popular in the country, lowever, and in small houses that 'have 10 locksmiths on the premises, and only i week or so ago I dropped into a quaint Ittle establishment where the keys were attached to brass disks fully as large as lessert plates and serrated at the edge ike circular saws. "At present most of the big hotels use . modest metal check, stamped with their ddress and a request to forward through he mails if accidentally carried off. All hat is necessary is to attach a 3 cent tamp to the tag arid drop the key in the learest letter box. Incidentally I may ay that about one man in 50 takes the rouble. But, aside from the room keys arried away by guests, a vast number of ,11 kinds disappear through the mysteries channels to oblivion that exist in all arge hotels. They vanish, and* that's he end of it?keys to furniture, wardrobe :eys, closet keys, bathroom keys, keys to he help's lockers, padlock keys from the utside storerooms, big coal bunker keys, :ate keys and keys of every imaginable ize, shape and style.
