A veteran friend liaa sent mu one of
the identical been* that Utile Jack
planted end Uiet grew up to ike aky.
It came In a letter celled up like* little
groan snake and I liioughl at drat It
was a snake. It ta about the site of
an average wax beau and I* twenty
eight and uue-half Inchei long. I
meaaorod It on my square and aiu eat
laded It vii at least thirty loahaa when
> It waa taken from the vlur, fur It lia*
elirunk some lo Uie mall. II* write*
that h* la a lineal descendant of Jack
and the beau (talk and Uil* variety ha*
been handed down through *«v*uleon
geoeratloue, more or lea*, and the**
Man* won’t glow for anyi»dy i-xoept
Iriali patriot* or confederal* vetcraua.
The writer belonged to CaiAaln Daw*
**w>» company lo Uio Biglitb Georgia
regiment and waa with u« that memor
able night when we oroaekd lb* 8lwm
andoali river liy torch light and the
boy* bad to be eased over the deep
place* by putting taller soldier* behind
them, and even then the water ran
Into their mouths occasionally. My
friend was one of lb* aborts and say*

Theee bean vines nod other vines
have often excited my wonder end con
templation Solomon aay»: “There I*
a purpose forcvvrythtng under heaven,"
and Aildl*ou any*: “in reason’s voice
all rejoins." And ao l would like to
know why all Ibe bean vlnee, morning
glories, madeira and elonamou vlnea
grow and wind toward the aim, atari
log on tha south aid* of the pole aud
going teat, while the liop vine and soma
other* reverse their oourae. Every
thing has Ita law and you ain't make
■□ruling ebanre Ita nature A vine
will die if you force It the wrong way.
A ad yet Raphael Seiamea oaya In hit
grant book that south of tha equator
everything la reversed aod the bmn
vlnee that climb against the ten up
here climb with It down there. Of
oourae tha motion at ths earth on It*
axl* baa aomethlog to do with It. but
why la I' ao? We don’t know much
sftat all. Mrs Homan aay*: “And
flowers ahali wither at tha oorth wind's
breath," but If aba had lived In Sooth
America she would have aald “at the
•oath wind's breath," for that la tbe
odd wind below the t qua tor. We are
•II loclloed to view things from our
own standpoint. Of oourae It It very
natural for ua to do to for we live la
the same sane aud latitud* that Adam
and Eve lived In. “Westward tha
esarae of empire takes IU way." That'*
att. Ko change in tbe coorae of the
ten or moon or star* or climate or tem
perature. Paradise waa on a line with
Carterevllle, end It la yet, aod ilia
Euphrates river it tha Etowah now
aud tbe gold of that land waa good and
•o la tha gold of tbit.
Rut i waa rumlualiog about these
mysteries of nature Utai surround ua
aod aiw ao common that w* do not
uotlee thorn. Last night our grove
was illuminated by a thousand Oreflleo
- -more onmarohs and more brilliant
than ever before- It was regular pyro
technic* for an hour. They lighten ai
they rise from tbe grass and emit a
■park of gold anti green luster that la
lovely. Rome naturalist* aay It la
phosphorous that they can illuminate
at will by breathing hjrdrogeu or oxy
geo Into it and that It hot no boat.
Ever ilnae Ltoneue lived this little In
nocent bug ha* been under the Ores of

been egraed upon. 1 bad to oateli a

then I turned them out aud owa of
these was dead with the light atill
■timing In lu tall. It had Illuminated
Ita own death and kept Ita laotarn
burning without a breath of hydrogen
or oxygon. Away down In the tropica
tbeae fireflies are an Ieoh long and a

room and a dozen in a bottle giro*

think we ccnld utilise them In our
