THE COLUMBIA IIKKA1.I): FRIDAY, JUNE II. OMHN'S DEPHRTMENT. A heart I had A quiet I'lumaged thin, That sang content within its sheltering And who owned it, dreamed it would go sill'; Forever, nor ask sunlit ln-side. In Base, It-It i Jiliud pride I walked, and scarcely the tieart C'azed thus secure, so peacefully apart Till on a day, ah, wondrous sudden change! The little livini? thini? within my breast Like hird that finds at length its wings (oh strange Sweet power!) awoke to fluttering vague unrest. Beating Its liars, it would not then be Milled, And all my life with its complaint was tilled.

For answer, with one glad, triumphant leap, A name it whispered to me in my sleep. I woke and wondered pondered deep and long Poor little heart, poor fund and foolish hint! Now, should I lose it, well I know the home Toward which it, straightway, trustfully will wing. But what its welcome? She alone can tell! Fly little Heart! Fly free! God speed you well! Ui'llelim in tli Home. All christian parents are supposed to try to raise their children to obey the commandments of Ood, and to do right in everything; but do we endeavor to make religion sweet to our children? If a love of duty and right living be inculcated in their hearts, much has been accomplished for them. A man may lead a moral.

If we truly love (Jod. our duty to Him will be always a pleasure. The home conversation should tend to bring the children into closer communion with God, making them feel that He is their ever present friend. An exchange says: "When the home atmosphere is religious, and the conversation is seasoned therewith, the children will irrow up considering the high problems of personal duty and destiny, and will not hasten from godly speech, and act as if the subject were too unpleasant for consideration.

We have been privileged to know a few people who were so sweetly abiding in Christ that their heavenly-mindedness was manifest to all." ACTIVE KINDNESS.

Personal ugliness is not a pleasant burden for any man or woman to cany through life, ami the way in hich it is borne usually furnishes a very good iudex to character.

F.ton coats are still stylisli and Norfolk jackets are much seen again. Nearly all the taffeta now offered is soft and scarcely rustles, reminding one of the pongees in appearance, though they show a smoother surface, than pongee.

The rustling taffeta are used principally for shirt waists and skirt linings. The pinafore waists will be worn to quite an extent. The upper part of tliQ aist being cut away permits the wearing of a guiinpe of very thin material, and this is very coin-fortablo on a warm day. Among the novelties which belong to the shirt waist one finds, gingham collars and cuffs to match. These contrast with the waist, and the more sharp the contrast the better, (Jhallie makes very dainty and pretty summer dresses.

They are not magic, but a better science, the result of long and careful study of stomach and intestinal disorders, and arc the only known remedy that immediately relieves and permanently cures these most distressing of ailments.

It ere just as well to call them "bil-ictus," "anti-bilious," or "liver" pills or by any other name as "dyspepsia" pills.

Every width of lace can be employed nowadays on the gowns designed for house wear.

Some of the dressmakers trim dress bodices with cascades or loops of lace, with a view to accommodating the gem jewelry possessed by their wearers, so inui, lor instance, a uiainouu ar and a crescent would act as the centrepiece of a lace rosette, while a jewelled bar pin holds a lace frill in place on the shoulder. Tucks are much used as trimmings, and there are some rare embroiderings. Rosettes made in chitron, ribbon, lace, play an important part in connection with diaphanous materials. I'araMoli. The new parasols reiterate the note of bright color which has been observed in all the modes of this season.

It is quite possible to match any sort of a frock now. The India silk parasol promises to be immensely popular. The novelty is the "sunburst," a parasol made on flat Japanese frames. The tendency in all parasols ia toward color and elaborateness. By a freak of fashion it is the inside not the outside of the sunshade on which the ingenuity of the makers in regard to adornments at present expends itself.

Unfurled, they are a mass of soft bouillonnes of bright chiffon and frills of lace. Fancy moires are among the newest and most fashionable materials for sunshades. The sticks are a study in themselves. In some cases they are enamelled to match the color of the parasols. Sometimes they are of green stained wood now so much in vogue, surmounted with a lards' head carved in agate, with a gilt beak or a hand painted Dresden china ball others, again, are in tortoise shell, beautifully modelled into dogs' heads and other devices.

What Woman Owe to Society, Womau stands as the sacred guardian of future homes and our nation's prosperity, and to her must we look for true reforms. To her standard must society come. Let her be sure to place it high and keep it pure, and make it apply impartially to all people. Let her keep out those whom she knows fall short of her standard, and never condone in the stronger sex what she condemns in the weaker. Let her think not to elevate society by hiding or condoning the evila which surround her on every side, but only by shutting out those whom she has found it impossible to raise to her standard.

Then future generations will arise who will bless her for their heritage, instead of cursing her for their misery. Dwight L. Moody in June Lidies' Home Journal. A Card For the Pantry. Two cupfuls equal one pint.

That when the family diatribe threatens she knows how and when to deftly change the subject.

Charm Woman' Mont Dmlrable Cilft. In one of our most intimate and confidential talks a dear girl asked me to tell her what I think the most desirable gift for a woman. She spoke of several friends one of them as having grace of movement another, as rarely beautiful, with brilliant eyes and lovely complexion; a third, as accomplished, playing and singing, a id speaking two or three languages besides her own a fourth, as very clever. We may multiply the list, and as we look over our circle of friends we easily see that nearly every one has something bright and individual which commends her to us; but the sum of the matter is that the gift of all gift9 for a girl is expressed in one little word of five letters charm. If you insist on my defining charm, I am afraid I will disappoint you, for it is as difficult of analysis as a perfume.

The better way, if I could manage it, would be to show you somebody who has it, as I would show you a painting on the wall, or a tiower in the garden.

S. Fleming. Friday last was a day that will ever he a pleasant memory "to those of the Fleming name and blood who had the good fortune to be present at the family gathering which took place near the old homestead at Zion Church. The day opened with rain, and not only the children, but the older people wore looks of disappointment. Telephone bells in country and town kept up a continual ringing, and the question, "shall we give it up?" passed repeatedly over the wires.

Finally it was decided to wait until 11 o'clock and see if the weather would change. Three little tots in one family, John, Annie May and Ruth, stole off to the nursery and prayed in simple faith that the rain would stop. About eleven o'clock it seemed to be brightening up; the bells again began to ring, and the messages came and went, "The lunches are ready, we cannot postpone; we will go." And we went; at least those named below did, although some of the older members were deterred by the dampness and uncertain outlook. Those present were, Jonn F. Stephen-eon and wife and two of their children; Horace ltainey and wife and three children: Mrs.

Adeline Fleming of Georgia aud son, Oatman t'leming; Albert, son of Knox Fleming; W. S. Fleming and wife and four children; Mrs. S. G.

Dunnington, Miss Narcissa Williams, Will Dobbins, Dr. J. G. Williamson and wife and eight children; Julius F. Fleming, BobeitG.

Fleming, James A. Fleming and David Flemiug; Walker and Whitney, sons of Preston Fleming; Geo. C. Mc Fall and wife and two children, and Dick Fleming, colored, who nursed T. F.

Fleming and afterward went with him as body-servant during the war. The assembled host after the grave of Chancellor Flemiug, the last to die, had been decorated by his immediate family with magnolias, sweet-peas and poppies went through the church, had a bucket of water brought by faithful Dick from the old family spring, and then the ladies spread the dinner 011 the benches in the rear room of Stephenson Academy. It was a royal feast, of fried and broiled chicken, old ham, roast beef, dried beef, salads, pickle bread, biscuits, sandwiches, jellies, chocolate cake, nut cake, citron cake, banana cake, lemon cake, lemon and gooseberry pies and frozen cream, tea, cotlee, cheese straws and candy. After the cravings of hunger had given place to feelings of full satisfaction, and the small boys had waded the branch, chased stray pigs and made the pony kick to their heart's content, all assembled in Stephenson Academy, which had been opened, and then commenced a flow of fun and merry jest, interspersed with melodious songs from Julius James Kobert and David Fleming. Some of the children also responded to requests for speech and song, among them being George Williamson, Mary and Addie Hainey, John, Annie May and Ruth Fleming, and Mattie Williamson.

During the evening W. S. Fleming read a sketch of the family, quoting from a book entitled "Higgar aud the House of Fleming," published at Scotland, in l.Ht7, to show that the family originated first in Flanders, removed to Scotland during the twelfth ceutury, where they were called Flemings, because they came from Flanders, ami about the year l.jiKS, were raised by King Robert ISruce of Scotland and his successor to the F.arldoms of Wigton and Dumbarton and the estates of Higgar and Cumbernauld, which they retained throughout the reigns of the liruce and Stuart dynasties. That the family was allied to the Stuarts by blood and allegiance, and followed the fortunes of that unhappy line until its extinction, being restored to the Earldom of Wigtom bv James VI, after he ascended the KnglUh throne, bv letters patent dated at Whitehall in liii'l. That they espoused the cause of the Reformation in Scotland, and that in all probability, John Fleming, who wo know went from Scotland to Ireland, thence to South Carolina iu the year 17.10, was a cadet of the family traced in the above book; especially as the facts therein stated correspond with traditions handed down to us.

This book was loaned to W. S. Fleming by Mr. no. D.

Fleming, of Kansas City, Missouri, a descendant of the Virginia branch. It is positively known that John Fleming, our aneester, came from Ireland to South Carolina in the vear accompanied by his son James, his wife Janet, and' his father-in-law John Witherspoon, who was born in Dumfries, Scotland, in the year 1H70, and who was the ancestor of Witherspoon, one of the signers of the declaration of independence, and a descendant of John Knox. The family is Scotch; by sojourning in Scotland was called Scotch-Irish, and they are and have been since the days of John Knox, Presbyteriaus almost to a man. James Fleming, son of John, married Mary Stuart in South Carolina, and to them a son, James, was born. This second James married Margaret Frier-son in South Carolina.

He fought on the side of the patriots in the American Revolution at an early age, and died in South Carolin, leaving surviving him his widow and four sons Thomas John William Stuart and James Sidney. These four came with their mother and kindred of the Frierson, Armstrong, Stephenson and Dickey fitmilies, to Maury County iu H17, and settled near Zio'n Church at the old homestead which was held bv the Thomas F. Fleming branch until lsiiti, when it was purchased by James Sidney Fleming and still belongs to his family. On this tract is the "Cave from which ever since the land whs tirst settled by them in 1S07, the Fleming family have procured their water. Near by is Zion Church, where they have worshipped God all these years, the present building being the third erected on that spot; the first one having been built before they made for themselves dwellings.

Iu that church-yard near by all of their dead have been buried. No wonder then that they dearly love the spot, and no place could be found more appropriate for the meetings thn the Academy lot where so manv of them received'their tirst lessons in learning. This place might well furnish another scene, like Drumtoehtv, for the sketches of love and faith, of happy days and sad scenes, of strong and stalwart characters so sweetly portrayed by the pen of Ian McLaren. Five generations were present, but the first two were only there in granite shaft, mossy mound and memory's treasure halls. With them the Alabaster box of precious ointment lives spent in service to God had been broken, and the fragrance of their noble traits inspired by simple faith, yet tills the places thatonce knew them.

W. M. Fleming, the oldest of the name, W. Ii. Fleming and Mrs.

Ann W. Ket-trell belong to the second generation, but were prevented by the weather from attending. The third generation was composed of fathers and mothers whose hearts rejoiced to see their children romp and play together, enacting amid the same surroundings the same scenes that they themselves had done. The fourth and fifth generations were living in the joyous present, full of buoyant life and heedless of the past. From the youngest (who hid her bottle of milk" under her little apron aud drank it in supposed secrecy behind an umbrella) to the sweet girl graduate who claimed and received the gallant courtesies of her stalwart cousins, the happiness was complete and unalloyed.

Some tears flowed, but from eyes that followed the pleasant past longingly into the distant beyond. "God be with you till we meet again," was the parting song, and another happy day must he numbered with that part of eternity which lies behind us.
