A Keal Love letter.
When I begin a letter to you, the
great difficulty is to leave off again.
Oh: how warm it makes one feel to
know there is one person in the
world to whom one is everything!
A lover is the most precious, the
most marvellous possesion. No
wonder people like having them!
And 1 used to think that so silly
Heavens! What an absurd person I
have been. Why, love is the one
thing worth having. Everything
else talents, interests, arts, religion,
learning, the whole 'tremblement',
are so many drugs with . which the
starved, the loverlees, try to drug
their pangs, to put themselves to
sleep.
How strange and dreadful love is!
Till you know it, you are so sure
the world is very good and pleasant
up in those serene, frost-bitten re
gions where you stand alone, breath
ing the thin air of family affection,
shone upon gently by the mild and
misty suu of general esteem. Then
comes love, and pulls you down.
For isn't it a descent? Isn't it?
Somehow, though it is so great a
glory, it's a coming-down as well
down from the pride of absolute in
dependence of tody and soul, down
from the high-mightiness of indif.
ference, to something fierce, hot
and consuming. From "Fraulein

Another Fair Flower Plucked.
Once again the death angel Las vitited
this lowland of sorrow and taken from our
midst one of earth'a fairest flowers. On
September the 20th we were called to wit
ness the death of little Francis H. Scotten,
who died of bronchal pneumonia at the home
of his parents John ami Eva Scotteu.
Little Francis was born at Wabash, Iml.
Novemlier fitl), 1000, and came to North
Carolina with his parents in 11)04. He
leaves a father, mother two sisters and one
brother to mourn their loss. He was pre
reeded to the Heavenly land just seven
weeks by his little sister Helleu.
All earthly love and skill could not save
him. Heaven opened wide her everlasting
gates for another one to enter the realms cf
day and wear a jeweled crown.
Euterment took place at Mt. Pleasant
Church. There while the sun in Heaven
was shining in ull his glory and brighluetg
we looked for the last time upon :1ns sueit
face nnd laid him to rest to wait the ref ur- j
rection morning.
Weep not dear parents, though the vacant
place in your home can never be tilled and
your hearts are bleeding for the little one
g me on lief ore. For Jesus has said, "suf
fer little children to come unto me and for
bid them not for of such is the kingdom of
Heaven".
"A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A plnce is vacant in our home
Which never caii lie Idled.
"God in his wisdom has recalled,
The child his love had given.
And though the body slumbers here
The soul is safe in Heaven.

about, from the kind of mosquito
