Walter dead, how still the household,
Not sound Of pattering feet.
Net peal of IN rry laughter
Do the echoing walls repeat.
All no more those feet sha patter,
Waking echoes everywhere,
And no more that tongue shall utter
Childish words our neart to cheer.
Like the gentle snowdrop dropping,
As twas opening from the bud,
So was he wien bright-winged angels
Came to be IT him home to Col.
Long they watched around his pillow,
Watched and waited through the strife,
Then all silent ore him onward
DER the restless stream Of life.
In the little silk lined coffin.
They have laid him cold and white,
Like flower drooped and wiltel
Once in beauty blooming bright.
Death in every feature moulded,
And on every limb impressed,
And his tiny hands are folded
Mid the roses on his breast.
He was ever sweet and gentle,
beauty beamei from nut his eyes,
Beauty of prophetic splendor
As if coming from the skies
And we feel that We have lost
A precious star from out our sky,
And one cherub more is singing
Praises % the Lamb ON high.
Walters dead the weeping household
Gather roend in awe and fear,
Ant the sorrowing tears fall gently
Ger the babys tiny bic.
Shall cath try to soothe the sorrow

In the matter of George Brandt, Bank
rupt.
B. &T.C. Fuller Attorneys for Bankrupt.
John W. Hinsdale, Attorney for II. B.
Clafin s. Co., Creditors.
Before any bankrupt can be discharged,
he must be examined by the Register upon
all matters touching bis bankruptcy, and he
must appear before the Register tor this pur-
pose. He does this under order of the Court
made always upon his petition for final dis
charge. II the creditors or the assignee ap-
pear at such time and place, they may ex-
anime him.
II creditor or the assignee desires, at any
other time, to examine the debtor, they must
of course make such desire known to the
court, and it is rs clear that in bankruptcy
proceedings the proper way to do this is by
petition to the court otherwise the court
could know nothing of the desire of the
creditors. If a special application be made
by the creditors. it may he made to the Reg
lister, and he may order the examination,
and fill up and direct the execution of the
summons to the bankrupt. Ii the applica-
ton be made to the Judge, it is not necessa-
~ that such application should be sustained
by any certificate of the Register as to the
propriety of granting such order.
Let this be certified to Vim. A. Guthrie,
Register.

How 10 GnAFr GRArR Ytfks a North
Carolina farmer gives, under the lend ct
seaomething Worth Knowing" the foilo~-
ing .Olt .tie gratis sometime between the
LIST az December and the last Of January !;
pack them away in box, beaded in. wet
sand, and keep them in . cellar until the
leaves of tho vine to be grated are half
grown anyhow, until the sap hasceased 10
flow. Then dig down below the collar, or
the point where the roots of the vine radi.
ate, and hunt for the largest and most thrlt-
tx cut them loose from the collar and with
pegs bring them to a perpendicular position.
Out of the end smoothly and graft just as
you would an apple tree leaving at least two ..,
buds or eyes, and then place large hill
around it, reaching to the top Of the graft,
covering the upper buds an inch with loose
dirt, free from clods and then, II tine graft
fails to grow, it is because the gratis had lost
their vitality before the work was done.
You may have vine for each runner OF the
vine grafted-sometimes half dozen. 1t
the roots are thrifty, they will grow the first
summer from to 18 feet in length, and you
can thus have crop of grapes the second
year.
Wild vines are the best to graft in, be-
cause indigenous to the soil in chsthey
grow, and know better than tame variety
at what depth TO strike their roots.

The last number of Hunts Merchants
Magazine has very encouraging article on
the condition and prospects of the South.
After ing an account Of the almost utter
destrle.on wrought by the war, and admit
ting it to have been the worst specimen of
modern achievement in that line, the article
says the extent of restoration brought about
in three years is astonishing and bears the
amplest testimony to the vitality and energy
of the Southern people. A great deal re-
mains to be done, but the writer thinks the
past is strong evidence that the South is
destined to overcome all her difficulties, and
to attain a very high position among the
most prosperous and powerful portions of
the world. He says, among other things,
that the high price of real estate at the
North is gradually inducing the people
there to take advantage OF the lower prices
OF frst-rate lands at the South; that he
thinks free negro labor will prove to be
cheaper than slave labor; and that the
spirit of economy and thrift produced by
the war and by its results, has already &C
complished a great.deal, for the Southern
people, and will continue with them as
very effective element of prosperity. No
one could have believed, he says, three years
ago, that the South would have attained by
this time as much prosperity as it now en-
joys, especially if he had forcseen the
obstacles to be overcome; but now, judging
by what has been done, he seems to think
that three years more will produce a change
much gOeater in proportion than that which
has already been effected

VAcc1NAT1oN.-The Belgian Government
has recently sanctioned the kind of vaccina-
ton first introduced into France, and known
us the Neapolitan system. An establish
ment has been founded where the virus. or
lymph is obtained from healthy cows, and
thus the objection that disease may by the
usual methods be transmitted from one hu-

practical application of the theory Of Jcn

much of the attention of our Courts since the
