The Wifa,s Gentle Renroof.

One day as Zachariah Hodgson was GO
ing to his daily avocations, after breakfast,
he purchased a large Goldfish and sent it
home, with directions to have it cooked for
dinner. AS no particular mode of cooking
was prescribed, the good woman we'll knew
that whether she boiled it or made it into
a chowder, her husband would scold her
when he came home. But she resolved to
please him once, if possible, and therefore
cooked several portions of it in several diff
ferent ways. She also, with some difficult
ty, procured an amphibious animal from
the brook back Of the house, and pumped
it into the pot. In due time the husband
came home; some covered dishes were pla-
ced on the table, and with a frowning,
fault 6nding look, the moody man common
ced the conversation

bought

II should like to know how you have
cooked it. l will bet anything that you
have spoiled it for eating. Takes off the
cover thought so. What in creation
possessed you to fry it? l would as lief
eat q boiled frog"
"Why, my dear, l thought you loved ii
best fried"
"You didn't think any such thing. You
knew better-I never loved fried fish-why
didn't you boil tF'
any dear, the last time we had fresh fish
you know | boiled it, and you said youliked
it best fried. But have boiled some also.'
So saying she lifted up a cover, and 10
the shoulders of a cod, nicely boiled, were
neatly deposited in a dish, the sight o
which was enough to make an epicure re
ioice, but which added to the Miniature o
her husband.
"A pretty dish, this" he exclaimed
"boiled chips! fish and porridge! Ifyo1
had not been one of the most stupid of hu
man kind, you would have made into a chow

His patient wife, with a smile, immedi
ately placed a tureen before him, contain

One would think that men ought to grow
more liberal as they advance in years, but
the reverse is generally the rule. As men
grow old they too often become more avari-
cious and close-fsted, a circumstance not ca
silly accounted for. Take heed and beware
of coyetousness, for a mans life CONSISTENT
not in the abundance Of the things he posses

FRANKLIN Co., 10th OF April, 1893.
Bro. GoRMAN: On the 18th of January
last, you remember, you granted a Charter
for Wrightsyille Division, No. 275. Well,
after a disappointment or two in consequence
of bad weather, we were organized on the.
9th of March last. | am not going to tell
you anything about the speeches on that oc-
casion it is just enough to say, that P. G.
w. p. Hill, &. w. A. Davis and Rev. L. K.
Willie were present, and that Bros. Davis
and Willie spoke. But | wish to give you
some idea of our situation and prospects in
the 1st place, we are in a half-mile of one of
those miserable sinks of corruption--a coun-
try doggery-and this was the first time I
ever heard of a temperance speech in this
neighborhood. Of course our first effort met
with much opposition, and is still encounter
ing every sort of opposition except that of
an open handed, fair nature. To illustrate
one good old church member of a certain
sect, had a son who was anxious to join us
also a nephew, his tenant. So bitter was his
opposition that he declared he would drive
from his house and disinherit his son if he
Joined, and that he would drive his nephew
from his home, if he should join. A week
ago we initiated the nephew, and l intend to
initiate his son in less than two months. at
any rate during the present quarter.
AT our first meeting we initiated seven and
received two by Card-making nine to start
with. Since that time, we have had four
meetings and added to our number six. AT
our next meeting l expect we will initiate
five more.
We are exerting a considerable Influence
already. There is a good feeling upon this
subject springing up in our midst. Our
band of fifteen are of the right stamp -
: working men, and men that will never tire
so l confidently predict that before this year
expires, we will be able to report at least
fifty good contributing members. And then
we will be content to double every year, un.
It'll we take this entire community.

THE APoSrATEs THEIR TASK AND THEIR


Whatever may be the individual intentions or pro-
testltions Of the democrats who have recently apcs
tazed the great tcst question, not only Of parties
but of the constitution and the Union, there is no diff
ference of opinion in either of the two political par
ties of the country in regard to their real position
As to the democratic party, these aposates arc not
with it or of it because they lead the onslaught of
the abolitionsts against its policy and its men. The
democracy, who arc receiving their malignant and
violent blows, have no option but TO fight them as
eue,nes As to the black-republican party, they
seem to have as little hesitation in recognising the
true position of these They openly boast Of
them as co-laborers in the vast scheme of aggres
sion which they have marked out 10 themselves as
task. Says Mr. Seward, in his late speech in tho
