Rather a laborious and ill-paid life it was lor a young girl of nine-t;- eu; lnu tbe little heroine knew she liatl her living to earn some how. There wasn't any inkling of romance in her life, except what she had Dnoonscioualy absorbed out, of novels in the circulating library.— Her two sisters both married —Mrs. Simon Sykes aud Mrs. Johu Smith —ami each one of them looked out industriously lor number one. •• Kveleen has had an education," said Mrs. S.vkes. » Let her take cue ol l.eself. Of course one wains in be sisterly, and all that sort ol Ihing, hut when dear Simon mar-ried uie he did not intend to marry the whole family." " Ol course not," said Mis. .Smith, •'She can't expect us to support her." Kveleen was mending a pair of glover, one October ofiernooti. by the window, when Mrs. Simon Sykes walked in with a great rust ling, and smell of patchouli. Mrs. Simon Sykes —lire Blake—was tall, large and rosy. Kveleen was on the petite scale, large, limpid eyes, very little color, aud straight brown hair which shone like satin, in the level rays of the setting suit. •y. c.

C, Sykes, unpiuiiing her shawl ; " that is, if you've a buu or a biscuit, or something to nibble with it. Tea alone gives me the heartburn." So Kveleen went industriously to work aud brewed a cup of tea, and brought out a plate of rusks, which were to have made her own frugal meal. " But 1 can eat a biscuit or two," i bought self denying little Kveleen, as she watched the rusks disappear befote Mrs. Simon Sykes' appetite. " I've had such a turn," said Mrs. Sykes as she held out her cup for a second replenishing. " A turn f said Kveleen, enquir-ingly. "Yes," added Mrs. Sykes; "a visit from a poor pelatiou. I dare say she will be here next, but I ad-vise you to send her about her busi ness, as I did." " Who is it I" asked Kveleen in surprise. " It's Mary Ann Blade. Wants something to do, expects me to take her in, and give her a homo until she can obtain a situation." "There's the little hall bedroom that you don't use," hinted Kveleen, who had a sort of instinctive syui pathy for the houseless ami home less. " I want that for Mr. S.vkes" reia lives when they come to town," said Mrs. Sjkes. "He's got a single brother with property, and a mar ried sister, with no children, who is \eiv well off indeed; and if I didn't want it. i dou*t propose to opeu a free as>luui for every old maid that comes along." •■ Bnt what will she do?" '• Do I Why do as other folks do. I suppose, (lo to a lodging-house. There's plenty of them I"ni sure." " But she hasu't got anj money." •■ Then She's no business hero," s.inl aristocratic Mrs. Sykes "Whj didn't she stay where her friends could take care of her?" •• I'ei Imp.- she hasu't any friends." "Then she certainly most be an undeserving char?cter," said Mrs. Sj .is shaking the crumbs down upon Kveleen's neatly swept carpet. " Oh, here's Seliua Smith, as true as the world." Mrs. John Smith came flattering in—a thin, sharp-featured little wo-man, with snapping black eyes, and a uew hat all a quiver with artificial asters. " Oh," said Mis. Smith, '■ you're here are you. Debliy ? How do you do, Kveleen ? Well, since you are taking tea, I will have a cup." " Heard the news?" as she sat herself down. "About M;lry Ann Blake?"— "Yes, ol course," answered Sykes, with a toss of the head. "She's been to see us ; but I sent her about her business." " Well she certainly can't expect us to provide lor her," said Mrs. Smith, begiuuing to crumble up the reserve ot the biscuit that Kve-leen had broughU with a sigh. " Smith's salary ain't large, and I've a good sized family.of my own. I told her pretty plainly that as far as I was concerned, she needn't ex-pect anything. I do hate these geuteel beggars! I hope you will give her the cold shoulder. Hush ! There",-* a kuock now. It it should be her !'' " It's a good thing we're here to advise her," said Mrs. Sykes as Kveleen went to the door. " Kve-leen is so uusai|H-c; in2 '■ Anybody could itnpos- njvwi h.-i " " Yes, to be sue," nodded Mrs. Smith, oompU'.'«<itly. •• And—but dear me, it is Mary Ann !" Both sisters nodded frigidly at the approach of a tall, nervous-looking female, in poor black, fol-lowed by Kveleen, who drew out the softest easy-chair for her ac commodatiou, and gently uutiei her whiapy bonnet-strings. " Do sit down," said Kveleen ; "I am sure you are tired. L-t me give you a enp ol tea at once." •• Yes," said Mary Ann Blake, looking apprehensively from Mrs. .Simon Sykes to Mrs. John Smith, " I am tired. I've been walking a good ways."' " I hope you've got a situation !" said Mrs. Smith, icily. But Mary Ann shook her head. " It was very foolish ot yon com-ing here at all, wasting your money on a expensive journey," said Mrs. Sykes. "Why couldn't you go to Aunt Pamela :" Now Aunt Pamela was the rich old aunt who systematically ignored her nieces, and kept mouey in bonds, instead of investing it in Mr. Sykes's wholesale grocery, or Mr. Smith's insurance company. " I did," said Mary Ann, deject eill.v. " but she declined to assist me." " Stingy old harridan !"' said Mrs. Sykes with energy. " She has u right to do as she pleases with her own, I suppose," said Kveleen, who was making some tea for the pale guest. " No she hasn't," said Mrs. Smith. " People get so miserly." "Sykes thinks wo might some day slap her iuto a lunatic asylum, and put the money into the hands of trustees, for the use of her rela lives," said Mrs. Sykes. " I don't know about that," said Mary Auu Blake. "I 'iiiow she wouldn't give anything. And I do noi know what to do. You are my cousins. Perhaps—" ••Oh, indeed we can't do anything for you," said Mrs. Sykes, becom-ing more (rigid in her demeanor, while Mrs. Smith drew heiself up and set her thin lips together in a thread of carmine. " Better go back as tast Mrs. Sykes " By all means," said Mrs. Smith with a toss ot the artificial asters. "And do tell that old lady that sin's a deal better able to provide for you than we are " " No," said Kveleen gently.— " Cousin Mary Auu shall stay with me. There's plenty of room on my little iron bedstead tor two, aud I can go out with her looking for a situation, after school hours.'' '• Eveleen. you're crazy !" said Mr. Simoti Sykes, uplilting both her bands. •• You're a fool!"' politely added Mrs. John Smith. But the stranger's lips quivered. "God bless you, child!" said she, rising up, and putting aside the veil of worn lace that dropped on her lace. " Aud now girls, I may as well tell you that I am Aunt Pamela." " You J Aunt Pamela ? shrieked Mrs. Sykes. •■ Yes, I." -• Bnt—you are rich." •• People say so." •' Then gasped Mrs. Smith, " why do yon come here in tbe guise of a beggar I" •■ To try the hearts and natures of my three nieces," said Aunt Pa-mela, •• Deboiab calls me an old harri-dan ; Selina reluses to help my by so much as a penny ; but little Kve-leen is willing to share her scanty all with me. What money the old woman has to leave, shall be Eve-leen Blake's." Mrs. Simon Sykes and Mrs. John Smith looked at each other iu dis-may, but it was too late to apolo gize now. Aud little Eveleen was ceiress, after all. The Family. The family is the educator of the race. Here men and women are made. What they are in the world, that they were in the family as children. The family is the place where first the lessons of law are received, and where the whole char-acter, in view of law has a direc-tion given it. Tbe citizen is made hi the family long before the time for voting or activity has come.— When Napoleon said, in answer to Mail,1111 degStael'sq uestion about Prance's greatest need. •• Mothers," he asserted, the all-potent influence ot a true life. The family is the greatest means for the development 01 character. What f« world does it present tor the affections to abide in I Where in all the earth beside are sympathies so warm, love so l>ure and fervent as he-re? All that gives value or beauty to human character finds in the family at once an atmosphere iu which to expand and develop the elements which shall bring it to the highest per- Icon.in. It doesn't look so much like a rebel advance upou the government as it might, when a Northern war Democrat is made Speaker of tbe House, a Union soldier from Ken-tucky is to be chief clerk, aud a civilian from Ohio is taken for sergeant-at-arms. The lost cause got Polk, of Missouri, for door-keep-er ; Stewart, of Virginia, for post master, and Rev. Dr. Poisel for chaplain. Beecher received ten votes for Dr. Poisel's place.—PAi/a. XitMC*. Deaconesses in the Protestant Episcopal Church. The telegraph has stated the 11 oiisc of Bishops, in session at Boston, had adopted a cauon con-cerning deaconesses. The follow-ing is the canon reported last Sat-urday by the committee, and is no doubt the one that was adopted— possibly, with some amendments : "OF DEACONESSES OE SISTERS." 1. Women of devout chatacter and proved fitness may be set apart by any bishop of this Church tor the work ot a deaconess or sister, according to such Irom as shall be authorized by the House of Bish-ops. 2. The duties proper to a deacon-ess or sister are declared to be the care of our Lord's poor and sick, the education of the young, the reli-gious instruction of the neglected, and the work of moral reformation. IS. No womau shall be set apart to the work of a deaconess or sis-ter nutil she shall be twenty-five years of age, unless the bishop, lor special reasous, shall determine otherwise ; but in no cas-i shall the age be less than twenty-one years; it being turther provided that no womau shall be so set apart uutil she shall have laid before tbe bish-op testimonials certifying (o) that she is a communicant of this Church iu good standing; (6) that she pos-sesses such characteristics as, in the judgment of the persons testi-fying, lit her for at least one of the branches of duty nbove declared. Such testimonials shall be signed by oue presbyter of this Church, and by lay communicants of tbe same, of which two shall be men aud three women. The bishop shall also satisfy himself that the applicant has had an adequate preparation for her work, both technical aud religious, which prep-aration shall have covered the peri-od of at least one year. 4. No deaconess or sister shall work officially in a diocese without the express authority in writing of the bishop of that diocese: nor shall she exercise her office among 1 he people of any parish, except with permission and under theover-of the minister thereof. 5. A deaconess or sister shall not take auy vow of perpetual obliga-tion as regards the office, and may ot any time lesign the same to the ecclesiastical authority from which she received it ; but having once resigned her office, she shall not be re appointed unless, in the judg-ment ot the bishop, such resigna-tion was for weight] cause. 0. A deaconess or sister may be transferred from one diocese to an-other upon request of the bishop ot the diocese to which she is trans ferred. 7. The constitution aud rules for the home government of any in-stitution lor the traiuiug of deacon-esses or sisters ol auy community in which said deacouesses or sis-ters are associated shall have the sanction in writing of the bishop of the diocese in which such institu-tion or community exists. All books ot devotion aud toruiularies of worship used in such institution or community shall have the like sanction, ami shall be iu harmony with the usages ot this Church and principles ot the Book of Common Prayer. A Snake Story. At Cox & Brown's mill, some three miles from Belton, a small snake, belonging to the tribe known to a great many as the "kiug snake," has takeu up his abode regularly, aud amoug ihe rats and mice be is a " fell destroyer." He has become quite tame and gentle, and often, when the keeper ot the mill takes a uoouday nap, his suakeship will crawl around and over him, and frequently lie quietly iqion his bosom. We have frequently heard, rather traditionally, that this species 01 serpeut was harmless to wards man, but was a relentless enemy towards all other serpents, and as substantiating this idea we will relate a further incident con-cerning the snake under discussion, which comes to us through au au-thenic source. One day recently a medium sized water moccasin was seen lying ou the sand beiow the mill, aud ere long the king snake was seen approaching him cautious-ly. He crossed the small stream which runs from the race below the wheel and very slowly neared the moccasin, all the while swaying his head from the right to the" lett This tnotiou was morn and more contracted the nearer he approach ed, until when within a few inches ol his victim, he lay for some time perfectly motionless. Then sud-denly he darted upon the moccasiu, caught him by the back of tiie neck, aud proceeded to coil himself around him. When he bad made several coils be freed his mouth hold upou the moccasin's neck and by making loops ot his body and inserting his head through them he tied himself in two or three or four kuots around his victim's body, which must have been very tight indeed, for when he iiad remained there some ten minutes he loosened himself and crawled triumphantly back to the mill, leaving the dead body of the moccasin upon the sand.—Anderson Journal. Disfranchisement of the Ne-groes. As predicted by Gov. Hampton, the first movement to disfranchise the negro, comes from the North. It is now seriously proposed by Northern Radicals to reduce the representation ot the South in Con-gress by disfranchisement of the colored voters. They claim as rep-resentation in Congress is based on the voting population, the present House of Representatives would not be nnder Democratic control but the fact that the negroes are allowed to vote. They have dis-covered this fact after the negro vote has passed from under the influence of the carpet-bagger. As loug asjthey could be manipulated by Radical demagogues, it was a good thing for them to vote, but now, when the South sends up almost a solid Democratic delega-tion to Congress, the negro vote is unprofitable and canuot be endur-ed. The white people of the South opposed placing the ballot iu the hands of the negroes immediately alter their emancipation, not from any hostility to the negro, but be-cause ot their ignorauce and in competency, aud the danger of their being controlled by bad men to the detriment of the country as they have been iu the South. Aud now as the day of their political vassalage is passing away, and they are cutting themselves loose from the bondage of Radicalism, tbe cry for their disfranchisement is echoed by the very men who were loudest in favor of their vot-ing when it would resound to the benefit ot Radicalism and give cor-rupt leaders an opportunity to mob aud plunder the Soutiiern people. Let the selfish hypocrites remem ber that chickens come home to roost, and that Hainan himself swung from the gallows that was prepared for Mordecai.— Wtfera Advance. ^^^^^^^^^^ Fifteen States have yet to hold elections this fall. Louisiana, Mas-sachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennesspe, Texas, Virgin-ia and Wisconsiu vote on the 6th of November, aud Georgia on the 5th of December. In addition Illi-nois elects county officers on No-vember Cth. Tennessee will send to market this Fall 150,000 bushels peanuts, and calls that a very small crop, at least one-third short. Free Schools- From ihe Charlotte Obeen BI . The public mind appears to be agitated by tbe question oi educa-tion. The vote in favor of Graded Public Schools s-cms to have ear-ned by nearly six to ore. The ne-groes generally 1 .fused to vote ow-ing to the misrepresentations made to them that their present schools aud colored teachers would all be abolished The vote was generally cast by the intelligent property holders and tax payers. It is "vex-atiously slow" to bring up igno-rance to advocate tbe education of the masses by taxation—approved of by all the intelligent world around us. Voluntary contributions will never maintain public free schools in Charlotte or elsewhere. 1 bey have been tried and have fail-ed everywhere. For good teachers and schools you must have some- ; thing reliable, some certain income. 1 This can only be had by taxation. A spasmodic effort from interested or personal motives may maintain a voluntary subscription free pub-lic school lor three or six mouths, but they all fail, alter an Interval. This is the experience the world over. Hence the free schools are maintained among civilized and enlightened people by taxation— the only sure and permanent basis on which they can rest and prosper. The intelligent white vote was re-markably unanimous for the Grad-ed School. The ball has been put in motion, the discussion lias done good, the cause is moving onward rapidly, and a system ot tree pub-lic schools, supported by taxation. is just as inevitable in Charlotte as that the sun will rise to-morrow. Ignorance, prejudice and misrepre-sentation may delay it, but they cannot defeat it. The education of all citizens is one of the highest duties of government whether State, county 01 city. PROGRESS. Machinery Moving South. The vi ar is slowly but surely bringing about some remarkable changes in this country, and among these one of most important is in tbe movement ot tbe machinery towards the cotton—the mills to the fields of production. This is illus trated with peculiar fo-ce and meaning at Columbus, Georgia, where a prosperous company now manufactures forty-six different kinds of goods, trom spool cot-ton to twelve quarter blankets. Their saies during the last mouth averaged over $5,000 per dav, fil-ling orders from all parts of the South. They have no agents, but everything is sold at the factory- Their ginghams, diapers, tickiug, denims, jeans, cassimere, occ, com-pare favorably with the best pro-ducts from English and Northern looms o| similar quality. The cap-ital of the company is 81,-50,(MKI-Their profits for 1S70 were $12t>, 875.60. The stock on hand on 1st January last, (time of last report) consisting of cotton, wool, manu-factured goods, dye stuffs, chemi-cals, &c. amounted to 1408,461.78; cash and sight exchange $214,232.- o'i; reserve fuud 1210,630.53. There is a very commodious sav-ings bank connected with the es tablisbment, the books ot which show amount due depositors (chief-ly employees) 8129,417.78. Tins great factory has been built up nt a small inland town (which was de-vastated during Wilson's raid) siuce the termination of the war. Yes, My Love, I Thee Do Adore President Hayes is now living at the Soliders' Home—oue of the uni-que institutions ot the country. Its origin is interesting. When den. Scot 1 captured Mexico, instead ot sacking the city, ho levied $300,000 upon its residents, which was glad-ly paid. A portion of this was used to relieve the temporary wants of tho soldiers, tho balance went to the Treasury Department. In 1801 Congress gave $100,000 of it to establish the Home, and that is the only mouey it ever received from the government. It is supported by ;; contribution of tweuty-tive per mouth irom the pay of each soldier in the army, witli all the money due dead soldiers un-claimed after three years. The fuud is now very large. The Home oa 506 acre-, has twelve miles of carriage drives, and is kept iu per-ii'ct order. There are now 500 in-inales. Tli: y are their own bosses, and are required to do nothing but b' liave themselves. They are al-najs free logo or come as they plea,:-, and without being required to do any work, each oue of them picks out some iittlo duty to per-fnrni for an hour or two daily. Re-ligions services are held every Sun-day morning—first by a Catholic priest, afterwards by an Episcopa-lian. Some of the inmates leave every summer to procure work, but they generally return toward wiuter Bach inmate is allowed to draw a small amount monthly as pocket money. Aud the sole credit of its ( xistence is due to Gen. Winfield Scott.—Harper's Weekly. Indians in Florida There are probably from tour hundred to six hundred Indians in Florida, occupying a strip of territo-ry South of latitude 27 degreesthir t'v minutes, on and about Lake Okeeebobee and the Kissimee river. They live in small villages or settle-ments, in rude houses of poles and palmetto. The women cultivate fields of corn, pumpkins, melons, potatoes aud the coontie, a species of arrow root. The men hunt, fish, aud care for their stock, many of them having large numbers. They are entirely peaceable ami friendly with their white neighbors, who have entire confidence iu them, They frequently visit the coast and ; settlements to exchange their veui son and poultry for ammuu ti >n, dry goods and groceries. They arc | generally very temperate, dress comfortably and the n en gaudily ou some occasions. Except the chiefs, they have butone wife. _ Re-cently a number of Harper's Bazar among them, and two white walked forty miles to a The old Egyptian aud Assyrian bad the downward slope of the eye and no calves on the legs. The same with the Greeks and other old savages. Tbe men had no calves. Wherever we find the downward slope of the eye and no calves we find fanaticism and ignorance. Show me a man with out calves and I will show you a nincompoop. The cat has a down-ward slope of the eye, and the cat is a fanatic. In Massachusetts wc have a statesman with a down-wan', slope of bis eye, or rather both eyes, and he is a fanatic. I refer to General Butler. Another thing: Our forefathers bad small noses. Having small noses, they munched their food; yes, munched it. Your great graudfathers actu-ally munched what they ate. As they grew more civilized they cut their meat: their jaws grew smaller aud they gradually ate it. My friends, cut your meat small, ami you will have small jaws.—Pro/et-sor Gunning. The Laugh of Woman. A woman has no natuial gift got squaw white settlement, and Hid Li-o.ics cut in the most rigid pin-back style There ate a few ne^iocs among them who are held as slaves, but willingly so, for as an old Indian said, "Nigger work little: bungr. all the time." Ly the constitution of Florida the Indians arc entitled to send a State Senator t 0 the Legislature, but suspicious that it they take part in making laws they may be visited by tax officers, they have not availed themselves of the privilege. Some years ago a shiftless half-breed was persuaded by a noted scheming politician to assume the seuatorship, but tar-rying by the way on his journey ho was overtaken by John Barley-corn, and returned back a sadder and wiser man.—Semi-Tropical. more bewitching than a sweet laugh It is like the sound of flutes ou the water. It leaps from her in a clear ! sparkling nil, and the heart that i heals ii feela as if bathed iu a cool, exhilarating spring Have you 1 ever pursued a fugitive through thi s reels, led on by a fair laugh, noa there, now lost, uow found? We have, and we are pursuing that wandering voice to this day. Some times it comes tons in the middle of care and sorrow, or irksome busiaess, and then we turn away the evil spirit of the mind. How much we owe to that sweet laugh! [I ti ns piose to poetry; it brings sui bine to flowers, over the dark ness of the wood in which we are traveling; it touches with light even our sleep, which is no more than the image of death, but is e .aiiied with beams that are the shadows oi Immortality. Never pick the teeth at table. OuUivaUon 0/ Canary Seed.— With tbe immense increase in con- Bumption of canary seed, it seems Strange that 110 steps are taken to grow it in our country. It is as easily produced as wheat or oats, .mil "yields prolilieally. Forty or fifty bushels per acre can be readily produced, and while it may not Ire a hardy plant, it will stand corn-id arable frost, and our seasons will give ample time to plant and ma tureacrop. A few acres devoted to growing canary seed will return large profits, as it is uow all im-ported aud pays duty. Some en-terprising farmer can set an exam-ple, aud not only demonstrate the fact, but put mouey in his pocket. Ye«, my love, 1 do adore thee, And that too witli all my Leart: When I see iliw Hit before me, Like a fniry, a* tliou art. Then my col.lent blood nnthiekeoe, And with joy flies through uiy frame While my heart Its motions quicken. 'Till By breast seems iu a dame. Hut I can't describe Ihe feeling— When I'm seated by thy side ; That is past all earth's revealing, It's to Heaven so near allied. Then my heart by stealth advances To my lno.iih on wings of dame, And in extacios there dances To the music if thy name, Sending through my cheeks a river Of pure crimson from Ihe soul. With such force it makes them qolver As its waves there surging roll, Throwing up at every pulse-beat Still a hot and redder tide, While 1 am huuored with a seat. Dearest one, close by thy side !

Judging from the discussion of our farm clubs we may suppose that farmers are begiuuing to re-alizo that the true office of outside fences, and iu fact of all fences, is ' not to keep out the stock of a neigh- ; bor, but to restrain our own. As a 1 result of this idea we see that laws preventing stock of any kind from ( running at large in the highways are gaining in fotm, and tbe area over which they extend is every year increasing. It is a mistake to suppose, as many do, that the fruit and grass growing between tbe fences of a public highway of right lulling to the public. The public have only the right of passage over the ground, but have no right to its products, which belong to the owner of the adjoining farms. As soon as the traveler or the stock on the farm diverge on either side of the legal limits of the road, they be-come the trespassers to tho full ex-tent of the term. In strict equity it. is no excuse that there w^s uo fence, for as before stated, fences are to keep the proprietor's stock within bounds, and not keep the others ont. It takes a loug time for ns to get rid of tbe idea that " a ; legal fence" must be " horse high, 1 bull proof aud hog tight." Sooner or later we will arrive at a point when every farmer will be the judge 'of the quality of his own leuces, or in fact whether he will fence at all. Much has been said of the in-justice aud cruelty of a law which prevents the poor man from turn-ing his cow out on the public road. lo the first place it is poor economy for any one to turn a cow into tho pubbc road. The time spent in bunting her wueu she fails to come home, ami the loss from not being milked at Ihe proper time will usually pay for her keeping in much better pasture Ol all fence break-ers the road cow is probably the most efficient and active, ami inde-pendent of her own efforts her presence leads the farm slock, other-wise quiet, to break out and cause trouble. When cows were allowed to run at large, it was impossible to keep a bull more ihan two or three years, for he became so un-ruly as to be a nuisance to its own-er. By Ihe laws excluding stock from she roads this trouble is avoid-ed.— Philadelphia Times German Millet- Tin- first -•-.: on of perimental culture of this new (to ns) foi plant has passed, and we believe with thorough conviction of its gieat value all who have tried it. We have seen two or three crops, of which we can personally speak ; one in .own, raised by Dr. Hooker, which was sowed somewhat thinly, bur which nttai 1 a line height, and was heavily beaded. Mr. W. I!. Gordon had a piece of rathei more than one acre from which he estimates that he cut fifteen thou-sand pounds. This may bo an over estimate; but we saw the Mil-let standing iu cocks alter beng cut and the Held looked as il all the forage of the neighboring farms had been dumped upon it. Mr. Harris who lives not far Irom Mebanesville tells us that from a little less than two acres, he cut eleven loads, each one ol winch ho believes weighed a ton This was on land not specially prepared for Millet. Last year it was in com, and tbe yield of the two acres was live bushels. The general testimony is uniform as to its nutritive qualities, and all stock are excessively fond ol it. In reply to the question whether it is an exhauster, all say that il is not to and excessive extent. A crop that yields so heavily must draw upou the laud. Put a crop that pays so well is worth the trouble to manure and prepare well. High CUltur- always pays well, and this is tin-system that must be adopted to make farming pay. A lew acres well cultivated pay belter than a large number neglected. Millet, by the abuudance of manure mak-ing substance, renders Ihe work of restoring exhausted lands less diffi-cult— Hillshoro Reeordi r. Brain and Muscle.—Men who use their muscles imagine that men who use their brains are strangers to bard work. Never was there a greater mistake. Every successful merchant does more real hard work iu the first ten years of his business career, than a farmer or blacksmith ever dreamed of. Make up your mind to work early aud late, if ne-cessary, that you may thoroughly master every detail of business up-on which you propose to enter.— The habit of persistent, rapid work once formed, you have gained a mo mentum that will carry you very successfully through many a pinch iu business where a less persistent worker would find it vastly easiei to lie down aud fail. Cut The Weeds While Small. No farm, or garden even, can be kept clear ol weeds unless they are attacked early, when they are small, tender and easily extirpated. Let tnem gel a start on us, and they will not only lake a double share ol soil nourishment, but will resist the hoe or the plow stubbornly, and not always come till second best. If their roots once become firmly established not even the plow or hoe will always remove them root aud branch ; but take them early and at them whenever they show their heads and they are easily keptdown. This fact is well known to all who cultivate the soil; but sometimes the hurry ot work will force one to defer the weeding pro-cess for a while ; meantime a pro-longed rain sets in, a godsend to the weeds, which make great strides to run their course and mature their weed.-: and then we all the-labor of dislodging them. Wc may harrow and cross I a;row, and still some ire left, and nothing but a carefully used hoe or the hand can get at tin in. An 1 after all. there will be found to be some of tho roots that have (scaped and will require additional labor to ex-tirpate, thoroughly. When young the v.ec da cau be dispatched easily. They have but little hold of the soil, aud once re-al ,i d they are disposed Of, and it is only the- new young ones follow-ing that will require attention, and cau be managed as before. An old negro cook says, " Soss am |K>werful good in ebery ting but chifu. Dey needs some oder kind ob dressin." A queer mourner at a boy's funer-al in Grangeburg, Ky., the other day, was a small pig. It followed its little master's remains to the grave, trotting along under the hearse some seven miles to the burying-ground. I luring the last, nine mouths the 1 ted States exported to England 86,132,730 pounds of fresh bed and 1,883,860 pounds of mutton. The total expoits ol meat- to the Old World for the period mentioned amounted iu value to $11,226,562. There were also exported 12,828,63^) pounds ol butter and 75,917,443 pounds of cheese, au iucrease in these lines of 33 percent over 1870. Don't use table cloths and nap-kins as dish wipers.

D. A. & R. F. ROBERTSON,
6URG1 rINTISTS,
Eveleen Blake was a school-teacher.
Rather a laborious and ill-paid
life it was lor a young girl of nine-t;-
eu; lnu tbe little heroine knew
she liatl her living to earn some
how. There wasn't any inkling of
romance in her life, except what she
had Dnoonscioualy absorbed out, of
novels in the circulating library.—
Her two sisters both married —Mrs.
Simon Sykes aud Mrs. Johu Smith
—ami each one of them looked out
industriously lor number one.
•• Kveleen has had an education,"
said Mrs. S.vkes. » Let her take
cue ol l.eself. Of course one wains
in be sisterly, and all that sort ol
Ihing, hut when dear Simon mar-ried
uie he did not intend to marry
the whole family."
" Ol course not," said Mis. .Smith,
•'She can't expect us to support
her."
Kveleen was mending a pair of
glover, one October ofiernooti. by
the window, when Mrs. Simon
Sykes walked in with a great rust
ling, and smell of patchouli. Mrs.
Simon Sykes —lire Blake—was tall,
large and rosy. Kveleen was on
the petite scale, large, limpid eyes,
very little color, aud straight brown
hair which shone like satin, in the
level rays of the setting suit.
•y. c. "Dear me,*' said .Mrs. Sykes,
m i an " how good that teapot smells. And
1,1 I am tired out with niv w: 'k."

Sykes, unpiuiiing her shawl ; " that
is, if you've a buu or a biscuit, or
something to nibble with it. Tea
alone gives me the heartburn."
So Kveleen went industriously to
work aud brewed a cup of tea, and
brought out a plate of rusks, which
were to have made her own frugal
meal.
" But 1 can eat a biscuit or two,"
i bought self denying little Kveleen,
as she watched the rusks disappear
befote Mrs. Simon Sykes' appetite.
" I've had such a turn," said Mrs.
Sykes as she held out her cup for
a second replenishing.
" A turn f said Kveleen, enquir-ingly.
"Yes," added Mrs. Sykes; "a
visit from a poor pelatiou. I dare
say she will be here next, but I ad-vise
you to send her about her busi
ness, as I did."
" Who is it I" asked Kveleen in
surprise.
" It's Mary Ann Blade. Wants
something to do, expects me to take
her in, and give her a homo until
she can obtain a situation."
"There's the little hall bedroom
that you don't use," hinted Kveleen,
who had a sort of instinctive syui
pathy for the houseless ami home
less.
" I want that for Mr. S.vkes" reia
lives when they come to town,"
said Mrs. Sjkes. "He's got a single
brother with property, and a mar
ried sister, with no children, who is
\eiv well off indeed; and if I didn't
want it. i dou*t propose to opeu a
free as>luui for every old maid that
comes along."
•■ Bnt what will she do?"
'• Do I Why do as other folks do.
I suppose, (lo to a lodging-house.
There's plenty of them I"ni sure."
" But she hasu't got anj money."
•■ Then She's no business hero,"
s.inl aristocratic Mrs. Sykes "Whj
didn't she stay where her friends
could take care of her?"
•• I'ei Imp.- she hasu't any friends."
"Then she certainly most be an
undeserving char?cter," said Mrs.
Sj .is shaking the crumbs down
upon Kveleen's neatly swept carpet.
" Oh, here's Seliua Smith, as true
as the world."
Mrs. John Smith came flattering
in—a thin, sharp-featured little wo-man,
with snapping black eyes, and
a uew hat all a quiver with artificial
asters.
" Oh," said Mis. Smith, '■ you're
here are you. Debliy ? How do
you do, Kveleen ? Well, since you
are taking tea, I will have a cup."
" Heard the news?" as she sat
herself down.
"About M;lry Ann Blake?"—
"Yes, ol course," answered Sykes,
with a toss of the head. "She's
been to see us ; but I sent her about
her business."
" Well she certainly can't expect
us to provide lor her," said Mrs.
Smith, begiuuing to crumble up
the reserve ot the biscuit that Kve-leen
had broughU with a sigh.
" Smith's salary ain't large, and I've
a good sized family.of my own. I
told her pretty plainly that as far
as I was concerned, she needn't ex-pect
anything. I do hate these
geuteel beggars! I hope you will
give her the cold shoulder. Hush !
There",-* a kuock now. It it should
be her !''
" It's a good thing we're here to
advise her," said Mrs. Sykes as
Kveleen went to the door. " Kve-leen
is so uusai|H-c; in2 '■ Anybody
could itnpos- njvwi h.-i "
" Yes, to be sue," nodded Mrs.
Smith, oompU'.'« |
