To the Democrat:
As your paper has been
published now for more than
a year, and as yet, I have
ween nothing in its columns
from this locality, I tZought
1 would write a short sketch.
Yesterday having been the
day set a part for the reunion
of the Kx-Coufederate Sol
diers nt Sparta, about 100
of the noble veterans gather
ed there and organized by e
lecting J. H. Doughton per
manent hairman and H. D.
lOstep Secretary. After their
names were enrolled, and a
short recess, they all formed
in line on the btreets com
mencing with Co. A and go
ing through until ,ill were in
line, and then marched into
the Court house Col. IF. II.
II. Cow les was to have made
the speech of the occasion but

was of corse, a great disap

bparta has some men who
can talk right w ell. Prof.
Drown was called and came
forward makinga very touch
ing address, giving some of
his exjierience as a soldier in
a very interesting' manner.
TAen Mr. W. C. Fields rid
himself of quite an interest

SEEING
THE SKJNS
COST.
OF
Whenever we see anything
above ground that is worth
admiring, and that has any
true stability or hope of per
manence, wemay besurethat
there is a great deal below
tne surface just there, as the
foundation of that which
makes 8!j goodly a show be
fore our eyes. That which is
seen is a sign of tha t which is
out of sight, a sign of a 1 read
y expended labor and cost.
Whether it is in the world
of nature, or of art, or of in
telectua attainment, or of
personal character, or ofspir
itual life, it is not all on te
surface, not all in plain sight;
nor is its full cost to be mens
umby that w hich is dispos
ed to view. If it is a grace
ful elm, or a widespread oak,
yon may be sure that it has
roots l unning dow n and rea
ching out into the earth be-
swaying boughs.
And it has
been at the cost of summer
suns and winter rains, of
striv'ng and enduring
through long years of slow
progress, that those roots
have attained their present
.hold, and are firm and sure
for their mission of ttwav.
If it js a majestic mountain
rising in grandeur to the
clouds, it resvs on no quick
sands, but has a basis broad
and firm, and deep as the
globes center. And only (iod
cflnhnow the cvt of that
mountain final bein"- where
it stands. The eternal hills'

nor was ft "reached at a sin
gle bound :" it was a matter
I of growth as well as oft
grace; and the best and the;
most of that which is noted
ofgood in the conduct or
the countenance of the one
admired and revered, was
wrought silently and slowly,
out of and below the surface.
There is no greater cost in
the universe than the cost of
a finished character, aud the
exhibit of such a character is
a szggestion of such a cost.

young man will be deluded

a popular audience with an
off-hand discourse on some
religious tliemehich is fa-
milirto him; is there any
reason why he should wait1
and toi 1 for years before en
