An Incentive to Work. Seed catalogs are now being eagerly scanned by people who have ten square feet or more of land in which to make a garden, says an exchange. One looks with undiluted admiration and wonder at the colored plates on which flowers, fruits and vegetables of gigantic size are alluringly portrayed. Undismayed by former failures there is scarcely an amateur gardener but fondly hopes and believes at the budding of each springtime that he is going to raise asters, pansies, sweet peas, strawberries, tomatoes, and every other kind of plant that will equal in size and appearance the specimens depicted on colored plates of the catalog. Of course he will fail, he will have a sharp realization that there is a great difference between the actual and the ideal. But for all that he will get lots of joy and valuable experience out ot his efforts. He will sometimes see the sun rise in the morning, which is something very few people do. He will also get an abundance of fresh air. a good appetite, better health and a fascinating knowledge of nature as revealed in plant life. Besides this the ideal colored pictures in the catalog are after all a real spur to achievement. So get you a catalog and go to work. You may not have great success in raising plants and flowers, but you will get something you need just as much, good, wholesome exercise and a sun bath occasionally. A Bovish Fantasy. I wonder if ever there'll come a time when the woods are cool and the fishing's prime; when the wild birds sing and the fellows trill and whistle and call, as fellows will! 1 wonder if ever there'll come a day when the wood's all chopped and piled away; when the walk is swept and the cow is staked on the picket-line and the yard is raked; when the lawn is mowed and the errands run: when the water's pumped and the chores are done; when the baby's rocked and put to sleep, and there's nothing to rake or chop or sweep; when a boy can look around and see that everything's as it ought to be; tlud all of the work he had is through: that there isn't a thing he ouglu to do. and a hoy can breathe a restful sigh when he hears the fellows shouting by and toss his hat with a wealth of joys, and run right off with the other boys! Such time may come and you may see, but it never, never came to me! W. J. Foley, in Saturday Evening Post. Headed for the Penitentiary. Two youthful negro thieves. Moultrie Glenn and John Glenn, sister and brother, aged 8 and 5 years, respectively, were haled before Magistrate McElhaney Thursday morning for stealing four hens from Mr. lb N. Gaston. In great fear of the wrath of the law. the little negroes admitted the theft of the chickens, one of which was subsequently returned to the owner, the others having been sold.
