SLOANS' SONS April 24,1S7G. DEB. The solemn bel! was ringing tbe mill girls in by broad sunlight one noon, when there came a knock at the door, and behind it the young :;111 > of whom I heard. Deb was startled by the knock, and frigbteu-ed by the young lady. It was uot oitcu that visitors camo to Brick alley and it was still less often that Brick alley, had a visitor that knocked. This was a young lady for whom Deb's mother did line washing.— Dili's mother wiped her hands and placed a chair, and the young lady sat down. She was a straight lady, with strong feet, and long brown feathers iu her hat, and Bolt brown gloves, upon her hands. She had come, she said, will) that Cluny set, she found she should need for a parly this very night; indeed, she was in so much haste for it that she had hunted Deb"s mother up—which was a matter of some difficulty—as she never had the least idea where she lived before, and how crooked stairs were '. But the lace was very yellow, as she saw, and would she be sure to have it done at nine o'clock to night f and— And then, turning her head sud-denly, the straight young lady saw poor crooked Deb iu her high chair, with wonder in her eyes. " I wonder if I frightened her," thought Deb : but she only wonder-ed, and did not speak. " Is this you"— " Yes," said Deb's mother, eldest. Fifteen. I'll try my ma'am; but I don't know ought to promise." She spoke in a businesslike tone, aud turned the Cluny lace—a dainty collar aud a pair of soft cuffs—about in her bauds in a business-like way. A breath of some kind of scented woodstruek iu a little gust agaiust Deb's face. She wondered how people could weave sweet Biuells into a piece ot lace, and if the young lady kuew; or if she knew how much pleasatiter it was than the onions liiat .Mis. McMahoney cook- -d lor dinner every day in the week but Sunday, upon the first lloor.— But il gave her quite enough to do to wonder without speaking. " Fifteen !" repeated the young lady, standing up very straight, ami looking very sorry. " How long has she been—like—thai 1" '• Horn so," said Deb's mother ; • she has jest set in that chair ever since she's been big enough to sit ti! till. Would you try guru ou these. Miss !" " But you never told me you had a crippled child!" The young lady said this quickly. "You have washed for me three years, and you never told me you had a crippled child !" " Yon never asked me. Miss," said Deb's mother. The young lady made no reply.— She c.une and sat down on the edge of Deb's bed, close beside Deb's chair. She seemed to have forgotten her Cluny lace. She took Deb's hand up between her two sof', brown gloves, aud her long, brown leathers drooped and touched Deb's cheek. Deb hardly breathed, the feathers, and the sweet smells of swilled wood, and the young lady's sorry eyes—such very sorry eyes! —were so close to the high chair. •'Fifteen years!'' repeated the young lady, very low, '• in that chair—poor little girl ! But you could ride," said she, suddenly. - I don't know, ma'am." said Deb. " 1 never saw anybody ride but the grocer and the baker. I ain't like the grocer and the baker." •• You could be lilted, I mean," said the young lady, eagerly.— '•There is somebody who lifts you t" " Mother sets me. generally," said I>eb. " Once, when she was very bad with a lame ankle, Jim Mc- Mahoney set me. He's first floor, Jim McMahoney." •I shall be back here,"said the young lady, still speaking very quickly, but speaking to Deb's mother now. '• In just an hour I shall come in an easy sleigh, with warm robes. If you will have your daughter ready to lake a ride with me, I shall be very much obliged to you." The young lady finished her sent-ence as if she knew what to say, and so said the truest thing she could think of, which is what we are all iu danger of doing at times. '•Well, I'm sure?" said Deb's mother. •' Dabitra, tell the lady"— But Dabitra could uot tell the lady, for she was already out of the door, and down stairs, and away into the street. And, iudeed, Deb could not have told the lady—has never told the lady—can never tell '■ the lady. If all the summer skies, and the ; gold of summer sunlight, aud tbe shine of summer stars fell down j into your hands at once, for you to > nn to paint scrap-books with, should you know what to say ? Into the poor little scrap-book ot Deb's life the colors of heaven drop-ped and bliuded her on that be-wildering, beantitul, blessed ride. In just an hour the sleigh was there, with the easiest cushions, aud the warmest robes, and bells— the merriest bells—and tbe straight young lady. Aud Jim McMahoney was there ; and he carried her down s\i: i.- Io " set" her. And her moth-er was there, aud wrappad her all up in an old red shawl, tor Deb bad no " things" likes other girls. The young lady remembered that, and she had btonght the prettiest little white hood that Deb had ever seen, and Deb's face looked like a bruised day lily bed between the shining wool, but Deb could not see that : aud Mrs. McMahouey was there, pariug ouious at the door, to wish her good lock; and all the children who did wonder; and the grocer tinned iu at the alley corner, aud the baker slopped as he turned out, aud everybody stood and smiled to sea her start. The white horse pawed the snow, and he held up Ids head—Deb had never seen such a horse—and the youug lady had gathered the reins into her brown gloves, and the sleigh bells cried for joy—how they cried—and away they went, and Deb was out of the alley iu a miuute, and the people in the alley hurrahed, aud hurrahed, and hurrahed to see her go. That bewilderiug beautiful, bless-ed ride! How warm the little white hood was! How the cushions sank beneath her, and the fur robes opened like feathers to the touch of her poor thin hands! How the bells sang to her, and the snow drifts blinked at her, and the icicles and the slated roofs, and sky, and the people's laces smiled at her! " What's the matter f" asked the young lady; for Deb drew the great wolfs lobe over her face and head, and sat so for a minute, still ami hidden The yonng lady thought she was frightened. " But I only want to cry a little," said Deli's little, smothered voice.— " I must cry a littlt first." When she cried a little she held up her head, and the shine of her pretty white hood grew faint beside the shine of her eyes and her cheeks. The bewildering, beautiful, blessed ride! Streets, and a crowd, and church spires were in it—yes, and a wed ding and a luneral, too ; all things that Deb had seen in her high chair in the daytime with her eyes shut, , she saw in the sleigh on that ride with her eyes opened wide. She was very still. The yonng lady did not talk to her, and she did not talk to the young lady.— The horse held up his head. It ' seemed to Deb to be flying. She thought that he must be like the awtnl beautiful horse iu Revelation. She felt as if he could take her to Heaven just as well as not, if the young lady's brown gloves should only pull the rein that way. They rode and rode. Iu and out of the merry streets, through and through tbe singing bells, about and about the great church spires —all over, and over, and over the laughing town. They rode to the river, and the young lady stopped ' the white home so that Deb could look across, aud up and down at ! the shining stream nud the shining bank' " There is so much of it," said ' Deb, softly, thinking of the crack i of it that she had seen between two | houses for fifteen years. For the ! crack seemed lo be very much like 1 fifteen years in a high chair, and the long, broad shouldered, silvered river seemed to her very much like this world about which she had ' wondered. Tiny rode to the mills, and Deb trembled to look up to their frown-ing walls, and to meet their hun- [tired eyes; but some of the girls j who wore the little pink bows, and ! who knew her, came nodding to :. look down out of them, and she left 1 oil' trembling to laugh ; then, iu a I minute, sho trembled again, for all 1 at once, without any warning, tbe great bell pealed the time just over ; her head, and swallowed her up in I sound. She turned pale with de-lighted terror, and then she flushed j with terrified delight. Did it pray, or cry, or laugh . : Deb did not kuow. It seemed to her that if the white horse would carry her into the great heart of that bell, she never need sit in a chair at a window again, but ride and ride with the young lady. It seemed to her like forever aud for-ever. They turned away without speak-ing, and rode, and rode. Daylight dimmed and dusk dropped, and see ! all the town blazed with lights. They rode and rode to see the lights. | Deb could uot speak, there were so many lights. And still she could not speak when they rode into Brick alley, aud Jim McMahouey and her moth-er, and the children who did not wonder, came out to meet her aud take her back to her high chair. She was too happy to speak.— She need never wouder auy more. She could remember. But the young lady did not want her to speak. She touched her white horse, and was gone in a minute; aud when the bell rang them to sleep that night—for the yonng lady torget to ask for her Cluny, and was too tired to go to the party—I am sure I cannot tell which was the happier, she or Deb. Third Term In North Carolina What the Office Holders bay—Where the Op position Is. [Letter in New York Sun.] RALEIGH, N. C, Jan. 1. It is realty wonderful to note how strongly the third-term movement has developed in this State within the past month. The Federal offlc holders are all for Graut. Un-til Bishop Haven was so outspoken in Boston a short time ago. many of this class were silent ou the subject. The leading lights here of the move-ment for the President's reuomina-tion are first aud foremost es-tiov. Holden, impeached Radical, and present Postmaster at Raleigh, and Dick Badger, who was, until 1871, one of the most violent Democrats iu the State, but suddenly became a convert under the influence of Holdeu aud a Ring which then held the reius of the State Govern-ment. Badger is now V. S. District Attorney, and has still higher polit-cal aspirations. R. M. Douglass, U. S. Marshal, formerly Grani's pri-vate secretary, has some religious scntplcs about supporting his for-mer master for a thirtl term ; but, beyond the patronage of his office Robert wields no political influence iu the State. Thos. Settle, who was President of the Philadelphia Convention, is a strung third-term-ist. His associates on the supreme bench of this State are nun commit-tal. The colored people in the State who do not publicly favor, do not oppose a third term. • • • . . The respectable classes amoug the white Republicans are not at all in favor of a third-term or of third-termers ; and when the Slate Con-vention meets, should the question be mooted, there will be a row. At any rate, it is sale to say thirtl term or uo third term, at the next State election North Carolina will go Democratic. The First Steamer that Cross-ed the Atlantic Ocean. Hit Him Hard. Gen. Butler was counsel in a re- I he following nice little story we ! cent libel suit against the Boston find in the Tuscumbia Nor* Ala- Herald, and secured for his client a oamian: "If Keeley realiresevery- j verdict ot oue dollar iustead ot the thing he claims for his miraculous I $10,000 he sued for.

Proper Care and Pood for Milch Cows. If you expect your cows to yield milk liberally, you most feed them on something better adapted to the secretion of rich milk than such dry I fare as might possibly keep non-producing animals alive. Yon must I feed them on something they like : and will eat heartily. Of the ele- I rncnts of rich milk there is little iu i ordinary dry fodder ; and the cow cannot create milk ; she can only combine and bring together in the form of milk such of its elements as you provide tor her. To expect anything more would lie as unrea-sonable as the miller who put no wheat in his hopper and looked for fine flour at the tail of his mill. It should be understood that the cow the first steamer that crossed the Atlantic Ocean: [ The Savannah left Savannah,Ga., in May, 1819, for Liverpool, with a supply of pitch pine in lien of coal, ; which could not be had. She was a sailor also, and nsed but little steam until she neared the coast of Ireland, when she fired np with the Georgia piue knots, producing a pillar of fire by night and of cloud by day, that demoralized the whole British nation. When the .'ire and smoke were first seen, an English Admiral sent his cutter to the relief of what he thought was a ship on fire. The more the gallant tars strove to reach the burning vessel to rescue its people, the more they would not be rescued, but kept puffing right along like the devil, which it was thought to be, going straight to Liverpool, where it created a com-motion from thence to Johnny GroatB' House. On learning that it was not the devil's boat, or that his majesty was not aboard, the British Admi-ralty took possession of it and held it lor weeks, feariug that it was to be used in rescuing England's ter-ror, the Great Napoleon, from St. Helena. The English nation was as much afraid of Bonaparte, and prayed as earnestly for deliverance from him then, as their Continental neighbors formerly prayed to be delivered from the Turk, the Devil, und the Comet." Touching the Right Key. We do not know where we have seen more sensible and timely ad-vice than the following from the Baltimore Gazelle : "It is idle to talk about a revival of busiuess and a return to specie payments while we are spending the enormous amount of money we are now spending for the mere pur-pose of government. While every sound business man and merchant is endeavoring to cut down his expenses, the gentlemen who are conducting the government at Washington are increasing their outlays aud eiiie.ivoiiug to bind the |ieople by raising false issues—sec-tarianism, foreign wars, schools — iu order that they may continue their career of plunder. The policy for the Democratic party from the very Grst day of the session is to go strait ahead aud cut remorsely upon the right hand and the left. Let General Grant endeavor to set church agaiust church, Mr. Morton wave his bloodstained banner, the work for the Democratic party to do is to save the people's monej. Cut down the appropriations le-morselcssly, but judiciously, aud send them to tbe Senate and to the President. This is the work the couutry expects to see done, and done quickly. Let Mr. Randall go ahead." How Tobacco Must be Sold. Special dispatrh to thellaltiuioie Gstette. Washington Jan. *.).—Recent seiz-ures by Supervisor Foulke, in the New England States, of quantities of plug tobacco were yesterday the subject ol consideration by Commis-sioner Pratt, Deputy Commissioner Rodgers, and Mr. Kimball, chief of the Tobacco Division. Relief was asked by the parties whose g Is had been seized on the ground that their construction of the law was not a violation of the statute. The iuterual revenue authorities, how-ever, sustained the suporvisor, and the result is of great importance not only to retail dealers of plug tobacco, but to the manufacturer and wholesale dealer, as the custom ol permitting the sale of a portion of plug tobacco is to be discontinu-ed. The Commissioner decides that strict conslructiou of the law requires that all sales of tobacco must be made iu stamped original packages. To meet the demand for small quantities five aud ten pjunil cad-dies or boxes must be supplied by the manufacturer, or must lose this part of their trade. Internal reven-ue officers will at once be instructed to give notice to all interested in this decision, and the custom also of detacuiug plugs and cutting them up for convenience in Belling small pieces is to be abolished. II the enforcement of this construe tion is obnoxious to the manufactur-ers they can have recourses to the fount of every blessing—Congress. Couldn't Fool Him.—A friend of ours had a birthday recently, aud while speaking to a German mu-sician of his abseut friend with whom he would have like to re-unite on the joyous occasion, the man ot music asked how old he was. "Thirty-one," replied our friend. "Dirty one! Oh, nix. You is more as dot." " No; I was born in 1814 " " 1844 ! Ah, now I hate got you putty goot," said he iu triumph. "How sol" " Because yon dold me more as five years ago dot you was born in 1844." "Now is the time to get up clubs," remarked oue of our editors the other day as he was attacked by a dog. h i s came to us with the proposal that we should favor old Ben for Governor and name our own price. Our an-swer was that if Ben or his friends wanted the Herald to support him they could buy the concern for its full value. He may remember the price mentioned then, but its value has been increased since by lighting all kinds of shysters, swiudlers aud frauds." A Warning lo Cigar Dealers.— Washington, Jan. 11'.—The Commis-sioner of Internal Revenue iu a letter to Supervisor Folke of Boston relating to the practice among ci gar dealers ot pasting caution uoti-ces with their own names as propri-etors over the caution notices origi-nally affixed to the boxes by the manufacturers of the cigars in such a manner as to completely hide the same from view, says: "The deal er or any other persou who covers np aud conceals the manufacturer's label from a cigar box renders him-self liable for each, such removal to a penalty of 830, and you are here-by instructed to report all cases of this kind to the District Attorney for prosecution." A Startling Fact. A casual remark in a Raleigh pa-per catches our eye. It is that Col. 8. D. Pool, Superintendent of Pub-lic Instruction, says "there are two hundred and thirty thousand white children i-i North Carolina, and only Htteen thousand of these are attending the subscription schools And outside the school centres in the State there is not an average of a hundred children to every county going to school." Well may the amazed reporter exclaim : "Think of that ! Shall old North Carolina twenty years from to day he peo-pled with numbskulls? We all are to blame. Let us take hold and do better.'' Indeed we must do better than that. Rouse up, North Carolinians all! Send your children to school as long as you have a crust of bread and a whole garment to feed and clothe them with. Give your child-ren clothing lot the miud, which stands tbe "car and tear of the wasting years.— Wilmington Star Tin- lad that one Chinaman has been naturalized in California, and the report that two or three others | have formally declared their inten-tion to become American citizens, has excited extraordinary iuterest aud no little apprehension iu that State. According to the San Fran-cisco Bulletin, if Chinese naturaliza-tion is to go on, it is within the po-litical possibilities that, within five years Irom date, 10,000 Chinamen may be marching up to the polls iu S.in Francisco to vote, and not less than 70,000 iu the State of Califor-nia. The Chinamen in that State eliga'ole to naturalisation are con-siderably more in number thau one-half the white votersvand it all who are now iu the State should be nat-uralized with,in five years the choice ot Governor might depend upon the will of the heathen Chinee, the great majority of whom, as it is well known, retain iu California their native enstoms, bearing a weakness for soft hats aud cowhide boots. But as out of the immense emigration from China duriug the past twenty years only one emi-grant has as yet developed into full-blown American citizen, it is not probable that Ah Sin will be elect-ed Governor of the Golden Slate at any early day.—-Vnr York 8tm. lllaiiu.- -Ex Spcakerlilaiue'sfath-er and mother were members ol the Catholic Church, aud their children five sons and two daughters, were all brought up in that laith. Two of Mr. Blame's nieces, daughters of his sister, became nuns. A cousiu of his, the Rev. N. II.

A night or two ago, a Vicksburg woman was trying hard to get her drunken husband home, and her words aud actions were so lender that a citizen halted and said :— " Well, all drunkards' wives haven't your disposition." " •Sh, don' anything," she replied in a whisper. " I've got to call him pet uames to get him home, but wait till he drops Into the hall—be around then. During a dense fog a Mississippi steamboat took a landing. A travel er, anxious to go ahead, came to the unpertnrbee manager of the wheel and asked why they stopped. " Too much fog, can't see the river." " But yon can see the stars over head." '• Yes," replied the urbane pilot, " but until the biler busts we ain't goin' that way." The passenger weut to bed. There are now eight pin factories in the United States, which make 47,000,000 pins daily. In addition to these the importations of pins reach L'.I.OOO.OOO daily. As these aie all easily sold, it is safe to say that 72,000.000 of pins are lost daily, or 00,000 every minute.— Where they all go to is the wonder. A cockney tourist met a Scottish lassie going barefoot toward Glas-gow. "Lassie," said he, "I should like to know if all the people in these parts go barefoot!'' "Part on 'em do, and part on 'em mind their own business," was the rather settling reply. Mrs. Gen. B. C. Wood, eldest daughter of Zachary Taylor, died lately iu Freiburg, Germany. The other living children of Taylor are a daughter in Winchester, Va., and Gen Richard Taylor, of Louisiana, who was a Confederate officer. The women ol Ontario, Canada. have presented a petition to the Legislature, praying for the aboli-tion of the liquor traffic It bears 8,720 signatures, the first two being those of the late Governor and the wife of the Prime Minister. The National Republican Con-vention of 1851! was held at Phila delphia ; that of 1800, at Chicago : that of 1804, at Baltimore ; that of 180S, at Chicago, and tint of 1*71', at Philadelphia. The West feels itself entitled to the next one. Minnesota is to have a State ine-briate asylum for which the liquor Bellurs will have to pay, as the So preme Court has sustained the con-stitutionality of the law imposing a tax for this purpose. "I don't have to go to the news-papers for my whiskey news,"' she remarked confidentially to a friend, "I can always tell it by his breath the moment be gets into the bed." In 1832General Jackson appoint ed John Manifold postmaster oi Muddy Creek Fords, 1'ork county, Pa., and Johu Manifold has been postmaster there ever since. A huge petrefaction, formed al most entirely of serpents in various positions, but making a solid mass, has been found near the line of the Baltimore and Ohio Itailroad. "Is that clock right, over there '." asked a visitor the other day.— "Right over there," said the boy ; " 'taint nowhere else.'' Why is a lawyer the most ill used man iu our social system f Be-came, though he may drive his own carriage, he must draw the convey-ances of other people. A lady wished a seat in a crowded hall. A handsome geutlemau gave her a chair. "You are a jewel,' sin-said. "Oh, no; I'm a jeweler; I have jnst set the jewel" The widow of the late Ex-Presi-dent Johnson is dead.

If you supply-bad materials he cannot build such a house as you desire. If yon sup-ply a cow with poor aud scanty food, she may give you, aside from quantity, more milk than you de-sire, mute thau is for your iuterest; because, in that case, the milk comes not from the food you give, but from her own body ; so that in the end yon will either lose your cow or will be a loser by by her constant diminution in value. A R is,- farmer wishes every animal to increase its value. Milch cows should be fed often. Four times a day is not too often. Their -stalls should lie close aud « at in for cold weather, but so con-structed that pure air may be ad-milted at the discretion of the keeper. It is well that their quar-ters should be partitioned off from tho-e of other stock. The with-drawal of milk twice daily abstracts a great deal of heat from their bodies. The loud of fattening oxen is more heating. Hence the rea-sonableness of warm stalls for milch cows, but cool quarters tor oxerl while feeding high and laving ou fat. Cultivating the Vegetable Garden. It formerly was more common than now, but tbe practice is not obsolete, of making a vigorous show iu tbe Spring, of "making gardens," expending much care and labor iu dividing the allotted space into small beds, and carefully smooth-ing out the passage way be-tween. Unfortunately, this vigo-rous commencement is sometimes followed by after neglect, which is made the more probable from the fact thai in a garden thus divided all the work must be done by baud labor. There is much gained by arrang-ing the small liuils and many ol the vegetables in long rows. In the Ami place, space is saved, but more important than this is the gain from being able to use Die horse in cultivating and plowing the ground. On this subject theNe.s Yol i; Tritium ~.:\ - : "A member of the Horticultural Societv of Mnskingtim county,Ohio, remarked at a recent meeting that 'if farmers would have their gar-dens large enough to cultivate with a horse they would be inoreeuc- CeSRful than they are with spade and hoe.' Which suggests the prac-tice ol a distinguished tanner of our acquaintance, who, instead of surrounding his garden with a fence anil a row ot bushes, locates it in open space, wiih sufficient margin of mil io turn on. He finds that the labor i.l tillagi'is very much less with such a plot than under the ordinary system, while the veg-etables and small fruits can be ap-proached from tbe nearest point when a mess is desired for culinary use. lb- thus avoids also fence corners, which in most farmers'gar-dens are very likely Io lie neglected, and are kept clear ol weeds only at the Co,is' of ii good deal ol eternal vigilance." — Westi m Rural. ihio Farmer.

SLOANS' SONS April 24,1S7G. DEB. The solemn bel! was ringing tbe mill girls in by broad sunlight one noon, when there came a knock at the door, and behind it the young :;111 > of whom I heard. Deb was startled by the knock, and frigbteu-ed by the young lady. It was uot oitcu that visitors camo to Brick alley and it was still less often that Brick alley, had a visitor that knocked. This was a young lady for whom Deb's mother did line washing.— Dili's mother wiped her hands and placed a chair, and the young lady sat down. She was a straight lady, with strong feet, and long brown feathers iu her hat, and Bolt brown gloves, upon her hands. She had come, she said, will) that Cluny set, she found she should need for a parly this very night; indeed, she was in so much haste for it that she had hunted Deb"s mother up—which was a matter of some difficulty—as she never had the least idea where she lived before, and how crooked stairs were '. But the lace was very yellow, as she saw, and would she be sure to have it done at nine o'clock to night f and— And then, turning her head sud-denly, the straight young lady saw poor crooked Deb iu her high chair, with wonder in her eyes. " I wonder if I frightened her," thought Deb : but she only wonder-ed, and did not speak. " Is this you"— " Yes," said Deb's mother, eldest. Fifteen. I'll try my ma'am; but I don't know ought to promise." She spoke in a businesslike tone, aud turned the Cluny lace—a dainty collar aud a pair of soft cuffs—about in her bauds in a business-like way. A breath of some kind of scented woodstruek iu a little gust agaiust Deb's face. She wondered how people could weave sweet Biuells into a piece ot lace, and if the young lady kuew; or if she knew how much pleasatiter it was than the onions liiat .Mis. McMahoney cook- -d lor dinner every day in the week but Sunday, upon the first lloor.— But il gave her quite enough to do to wonder without speaking. " Fifteen !" repeated the young lady, standing up very straight, ami looking very sorry. " How long has she been—like—thai 1" '• Horn so," said Deb's mother ; • she has jest set in that chair ever since she's been big enough to sit ti! till. Would you try guru ou these. Miss !" " But you never told me you had a crippled child!" The young lady said this quickly. "You have washed for me three years, and you never told me you had a crippled child !" " Yon never asked me. Miss," said Deb's mother. The young lady made no reply.— She c.une and sat down on the edge of Deb's bed, close beside Deb's chair. She seemed to have forgotten her Cluny lace. She took Deb's hand up between her two sof', brown gloves, aud her long, brown leathers drooped and touched Deb's cheek. Deb hardly breathed, the feathers, and the sweet smells of swilled wood, and the young lady's sorry eyes—such very sorry eyes! —were so close to the high chair. •'Fifteen years!'' repeated the young lady, very low, '• in that chair—poor little girl ! But you could ride," said she, suddenly. - I don't know, ma'am." said Deb. " 1 never saw anybody ride but the grocer and the baker. I ain't like the grocer and the baker." •• You could be lilted, I mean," said the young lady, eagerly.— '•There is somebody who lifts you t" " Mother sets me. generally," said I>eb. " Once, when she was very bad with a lame ankle, Jim Mc- Mahoney set me. He's first floor, Jim McMahoney." •I shall be back here,"said the young lady, still speaking very quickly, but speaking to Deb's mother now. '• In just an hour I shall come in an easy sleigh, with warm robes. If you will have your daughter ready to lake a ride with me, I shall be very much obliged to you." The young lady finished her sent-ence as if she knew what to say, and so said the truest thing she could think of, which is what we are all iu danger of doing at times. '•Well, I'm sure?" said Deb's mother. •' Dabitra, tell the lady"— But Dabitra could uot tell the lady, for she was already out of the door, and down stairs, and away into the street. And, iudeed, Deb could not have told the lady—has never told the lady—can never tell '■ the lady. If all the summer skies, and the ; gold of summer sunlight, aud tbe shine of summer stars fell down j into your hands at once, for you to > nn to paint scrap-books with, should you know what to say ? Into the poor little scrap-book ot Deb's life the colors of heaven drop-ped and bliuded her on that be-wildering, beantitul, blessed ride. In just an hour the sleigh was there, with the easiest cushions, aud the warmest robes, and bells— the merriest bells—and tbe straight young lady. Aud Jim McMahoney was there ; and he carried her down s\i: i.- Io " set" her. And her moth-er was there, aud wrappad her all up in an old red shawl, tor Deb bad no " things" likes other girls. The young lady remembered that, and she had btonght the prettiest little white hood that Deb had ever seen, and Deb's face looked like a bruised day lily bed between the shining wool, but Deb could not see that : aud Mrs. McMahouey was there, pariug ouious at the door, to wish her good lock; and all the children who did wonder; and the grocer tinned iu at the alley corner, aud the baker slopped as he turned out, aud everybody stood and smiled to sea her start. The white horse pawed the snow, and he held up Ids head—Deb had never seen such a horse—and the youug lady had gathered the reins into her brown gloves, and the sleigh bells cried for joy—how they cried—and away they went, and Deb was out of the alley iu a miuute, and the people in the alley hurrahed, aud hurrahed, and hurrahed to see her go. That bewilderiug beautiful, bless-ed ride! How warm the little white hood was! How the cushions sank beneath her, and the fur robes opened like feathers to the touch of her poor thin hands! How the bells sang to her, and the snow drifts blinked at her, and the icicles and the slated roofs, and sky, and the people's laces smiled at her! " What's the matter f" asked the young lady; for Deb drew the great wolfs lobe over her face and head, and sat so for a minute, still ami hidden The yonng lady thought she was frightened. " But I only want to cry a little," said Deli's little, smothered voice.— " I must cry a littlt first." When she cried a little she held up her head, and the shine of her pretty white hood grew faint beside the shine of her eyes and her cheeks. The bewildering, beautiful, blessed ride! Streets, and a crowd, and church spires were in it—yes, and a wed ding and a luneral, too ; all things that Deb had seen in her high chair in the daytime with her eyes shut, , she saw in the sleigh on that ride with her eyes opened wide. She was very still. The yonng lady did not talk to her, and she did not talk to the young lady.— The horse held up his head. It ' seemed to Deb to be flying. She thought that he must be like the awtnl beautiful horse iu Revelation. She felt as if he could take her to Heaven just as well as not, if the young lady's brown gloves should only pull the rein that way. They rode and rode. Iu and out of the merry streets, through and through tbe singing bells, about and about the great church spires —all over, and over, and over the laughing town. They rode to the river, and the young lady stopped ' the white home so that Deb could look across, aud up and down at ! the shining stream nud the shining bank' " There is so much of it," said ' Deb, softly, thinking of the crack i of it that she had seen between two | houses for fifteen years. For the ! crack seemed lo be very much like 1 fifteen years in a high chair, and the long, broad shouldered, silvered river seemed to her very much like this world about which she had ' wondered. Tiny rode to the mills, and Deb trembled to look up to their frown-ing walls, and to meet their hun- [tired eyes; but some of the girls j who wore the little pink bows, and ! who knew her, came nodding to :. look down out of them, and she left 1 oil' trembling to laugh ; then, iu a I minute, sho trembled again, for all 1 at once, without any warning, tbe great bell pealed the time just over ; her head, and swallowed her up in I sound. She turned pale with de-lighted terror, and then she flushed j with terrified delight. Did it pray, or cry, or laugh . : Deb did not kuow. It seemed to her that if the white horse would carry her into the great heart of that bell, she never need sit in a chair at a window again, but ride and ride with the young lady. It seemed to her like forever aud for-ever. They turned away without speak-ing, and rode, and rode. Daylight dimmed and dusk dropped, and see ! all the town blazed with lights. They rode and rode to see the lights. | Deb could uot speak, there were so many lights. And still she could not speak when they rode into Brick alley, aud Jim McMahouey and her moth-er, and the children who did not wonder, came out to meet her aud take her back to her high chair. She was too happy to speak.— She need never wouder auy more. She could remember. But the young lady did not want her to speak. She touched her white horse, and was gone in a minute; aud when the bell rang them to sleep that night—for the yonng lady torget to ask for her Cluny, and was too tired to go to the party—I am sure I cannot tell which was the happier, she or Deb. Third Term In North Carolina What the Office Holders bay—Where the Op position Is. [Letter in New York Sun.] RALEIGH, N. C, Jan. 1. It is realty wonderful to note how strongly the third-term movement has developed in this State within the past month. The Federal offlc holders are all for Graut. Un-til Bishop Haven was so outspoken in Boston a short time ago. many of this class were silent ou the subject. The leading lights here of the move-ment for the President's reuomina-tion are first aud foremost es-tiov. Holden, impeached Radical, and present Postmaster at Raleigh, and Dick Badger, who was, until 1871, one of the most violent Democrats iu the State, but suddenly became a convert under the influence of Holdeu aud a Ring which then held the reius of the State Govern-ment.

Proper Care and Pood for Milch Cows. If you expect your cows to yield milk liberally, you most feed them on something better adapted to the secretion of rich milk than such dry I fare as might possibly keep non-producing animals alive. Yon must I feed them on something they like : and will eat heartily. Of the ele- I rncnts of rich milk there is little iu i ordinary dry fodder ; and the cow cannot create milk ; she can only combine and bring together in the form of milk such of its elements as you provide tor her. To expect anything more would lie as unrea-sonable as the miller who put no wheat in his hopper and looked for fine flour at the tail of his mill. It should be understood that the cow the first steamer that crossed the Atlantic Ocean: [ The Savannah left Savannah,Ga., in May, 1819, for Liverpool, with a supply of pitch pine in lien of coal, ; which could not be had. She was a sailor also, and nsed but little steam until she neared the coast of Ireland, when she fired np with the Georgia piue knots, producing a pillar of fire by night and of cloud by day, that demoralized the whole British nation. When the .'ire and smoke were first seen, an English Admiral sent his cutter to the relief of what he thought was a ship on fire. The more the gallant tars strove to reach the burning vessel to rescue its people, the more they would not be rescued, but kept puffing right along like the devil, which it was thought to be, going straight to Liverpool, where it created a com-motion from thence to Johnny GroatB' House. On learning that it was not the devil's boat, or that his majesty was not aboard, the British Admi-ralty took possession of it and held it lor weeks, feariug that it was to be used in rescuing England's ter-ror, the Great Napoleon, from St. Helena. The English nation was as much afraid of Bonaparte, and prayed as earnestly for deliverance from him then, as their Continental neighbors formerly prayed to be delivered from the Turk, the Devil, und the Comet." Touching the Right Key. We do not know where we have seen more sensible and timely ad-vice than the following from the Baltimore Gazelle : "It is idle to talk about a revival of busiuess and a return to specie payments while we are spending the enormous amount of money we are now spending for the mere pur-pose of government. While every sound business man and merchant is endeavoring to cut down his expenses, the gentlemen who are conducting the government at Washington are increasing their outlays aud eiiie.ivoiiug to bind the |ieople by raising false issues—sec-tarianism, foreign wars, schools — iu order that they may continue their career of plunder. The policy for the Democratic party from the very Grst day of the session is to go strait ahead aud cut remorsely upon the right hand and the left. Let General Grant endeavor to set church agaiust church, Mr. Morton wave his bloodstained banner, the work for the Democratic party to do is to save the people's monej. Cut down the appropriations le-morselcssly, but judiciously, aud send them to tbe Senate and to the President. This is the work the couutry expects to see done, and done quickly. Let Mr. Randall go ahead." How Tobacco Must be Sold. Special dispatrh to thellaltiuioie Gstette. Washington Jan. *.).—Recent seiz-ures by Supervisor Foulke, in the New England States, of quantities of plug tobacco were yesterday the subject ol consideration by Commis-sioner Pratt, Deputy Commissioner Rodgers, and Mr. Kimball, chief of the Tobacco Division. Relief was asked by the parties whose g Is had been seized on the ground that their construction of the law was not a violation of the statute. The iuterual revenue authorities, how-ever, sustained the suporvisor, and the result is of great importance not only to retail dealers of plug tobacco, but to the manufacturer and wholesale dealer, as the custom ol permitting the sale of a portion of plug tobacco is to be discontinu-ed. The Commissioner decides that strict conslructiou of the law requires that all sales of tobacco must be made iu stamped original packages. To meet the demand for small quantities five aud ten pjunil cad-dies or boxes must be supplied by the manufacturer, or must lose this part of their trade. Internal reven-ue officers will at once be instructed to give notice to all interested in this decision, and the custom also of detacuiug plugs and cutting them up for convenience in Belling small pieces is to be abolished. II the enforcement of this construe tion is obnoxious to the manufactur-ers they can have recourses to the fount of every blessing—Congress. Couldn't Fool Him.—A friend of ours had a birthday recently, aud while speaking to a German mu-sician of his abseut friend with whom he would have like to re-unite on the joyous occasion, the man ot music asked how old he was. "Thirty-one," replied our friend. "Dirty one! Oh, nix. You is more as dot." " No; I was born in 1814 " " 1844 ! Ah, now I hate got you putty goot," said he iu triumph. "How sol" " Because yon dold me more as five years ago dot you was born in 1844." "Now is the time to get up clubs," remarked oue of our editors the other day as he was attacked by a dog. h i s came to us with the proposal that we should favor old Ben for Governor and name our own price. Our an-swer was that if Ben or his friends wanted the Herald to support him they could buy the concern for its full value. He may remember the price mentioned then, but its value has been increased since by lighting all kinds of shysters, swiudlers aud frauds." A Warning lo Cigar Dealers.— Washington, Jan. 11'.—The Commis-sioner of Internal Revenue iu a letter to Supervisor Folke of Boston relating to the practice among ci gar dealers ot pasting caution uoti-ces with their own names as propri-etors over the caution notices origi-nally affixed to the boxes by the manufacturers of the cigars in such a manner as to completely hide the same from view, says: "The deal er or any other persou who covers np aud conceals the manufacturer's label from a cigar box renders him-self liable for each, such removal to a penalty of 830, and you are here-by instructed to report all cases of this kind to the District Attorney for prosecution." A Startling Fact. A casual remark in a Raleigh pa-per catches our eye. It is that Col. 8. D. Pool, Superintendent of Pub-lic Instruction, says "there are two hundred and thirty thousand white children i-i North Carolina, and only Htteen thousand of these are attending the subscription schools And outside the school centres in the State there is not an average of a hundred children to every county going to school." Well may the amazed reporter exclaim : "Think of that ! Shall old North Carolina twenty years from to day he peo-pled with numbskulls? We all are to blame. Let us take hold and do better.'' Indeed we must do better than that. Rouse up, North Carolinians all! Send your children to school as long as you have a crust of bread and a whole garment to feed and clothe them with. Give your child-ren clothing lot the miud, which stands tbe "car and tear of the wasting years.— Wilmington Star Tin- lad that one Chinaman has been naturalized in California, and the report that two or three others | have formally declared their inten-tion to become American citizens, has excited extraordinary iuterest aud no little apprehension iu that State. According to the San Fran-cisco Bulletin, if Chinese naturaliza-tion is to go on, it is within the po-litical possibilities that, within five years Irom date, 10,000 Chinamen may be marching up to the polls iu S.in Francisco to vote, and not less than 70,000 iu the State of Califor-nia. The Chinamen in that State eliga'ole to naturalisation are con-siderably more in number thau one-half the white votersvand it all who are now iu the State should be nat-uralized with,in five years the choice ot Governor might depend upon the will of the heathen Chinee, the great majority of whom, as it is well known, retain iu California their native enstoms, bearing a weakness for soft hats aud cowhide boots.

There are now eight pin factories in the United States, which make 47,000,000 pins daily. In addition to these the importations of pins reach L'.I.OOO.OOO daily. As these aie all easily sold, it is safe to say that 72,000.000 of pins are lost daily, or 00,000 every minute.— Where they all go to is the wonder. A cockney tourist met a Scottish lassie going barefoot toward Glas-gow. "Lassie," said he, "I should like to know if all the people in these parts go barefoot!''

If you supply-bad materials he cannot build such a house as you desire. If yon sup-ply a cow with poor aud scanty food, she may give you, aside from quantity, more milk than you de-sire, mute thau is for your iuterest; because, in that case, the milk comes not from the food you give, but from her own body ; so that in the end yon will either lose your cow or will be a loser by by her constant diminution in value. A R is,- farmer wishes every animal to increase its value. Milch cows should be fed often. Four times a day is not too often. Their -stalls should lie close aud « at in for cold weather, but so con-structed that pure air may be ad-milted at the discretion of the keeper. It is well that their quar-ters should be partitioned off from tho-e of other stock. The with-drawal of milk twice daily abstracts a great deal of heat from their bodies. The loud of fattening oxen is more heating. Hence the rea-sonableness of warm stalls for milch cows, but cool quarters tor oxerl while feeding high and laving ou fat. Cultivating the Vegetable Garden. It formerly was more common than now, but tbe practice is not obsolete, of making a vigorous show iu tbe Spring, of "making gardens," expending much care and labor iu dividing the allotted space into small beds, and carefully smooth-ing out the passage way be-tween. Unfortunately, this vigo-rous commencement is sometimes followed by after neglect, which is made the more probable from the fact thai in a garden thus divided all the work must be done by baud labor. There is much gained by arrang-ing the small liuils and many ol the vegetables in long rows. In the Ami place, space is saved, but more important than this is the gain from being able to use Die horse in cultivating and plowing the ground. On this subject theNe.s Yol i; Tritium ~.:\ - : "A member of the Horticultural Societv of Mnskingtim county,Ohio, remarked at a recent meeting that 'if farmers would have their gar-dens large enough to cultivate with a horse they would be inoreeuc- CeSRful than they are with spade and hoe.' Which suggests the prac-tice ol a distinguished tanner of our acquaintance, who, instead of surrounding his garden with a fence anil a row ot bushes, locates it in open space, wiih sufficient margin of mil io turn on. He finds that the labor i.l tillagi'is very much less with such a plot than under the ordinary system, while the veg-etables and small fruits can be ap-proached from tbe nearest point when a mess is desired for culinary use. lb- thus avoids also fence corners, which in most farmers'gar-dens are very likely Io lie neglected, and are kept clear ol weeds only at the Co,is' of ii good deal ol eternal vigilance." — Westi m Rural. ihio Farmer.
