seen case like it before, and no remedy be pre-
scribed seemed to do the least good. Ny life was
despaired of. Mrs Wilson, with whom I was re-
siding, had in the house bottle of PLANTATION
B1TTERs, and she insisted should try it, for she
said she knew it to be certain cure in all cases
Of fever, debility, ague. dyspepsia, &c. had but

HORRIBLE ATROCITIES IN ALEXANDER
CoUNTY.-We have just heard of series O.
outrages and murders in Alexander county
the most atrocious that ever blackened The
annals of crime in North Carolina. 1
seems there was living in the Bushy Noun
tain near the line dividing Alexander from
Wilkes, family named Land, consisting
of James Land, his wife, daughter and two
sons. Our informant states that one of the
young men had disagreement with his
sister one day last week and she left the
house and did not return until about night.
On attempting to enter the house
she was shot and killed by her
brother with whom she had quarrelled.
Her father, mother and two brothers then
collected wood and burned the body al
most literally to ashes for the purpose of
concealiDg the crime. On Wednesday last
the inhuman father, mother and brothers
were arrested, taken to Taylorsvllle and
confined in the same room of Alexander
jail On Friday night the Goth, Mrs. Land
was brutally murdered by her husband and
two sons. The father and sons coolly con-
fessed the murder next morning and ex
pressed no regrets, though the stark body
of the wife and mother lay before them
horribly mutilated. The father was dur
ing the day separated from the sons, as it
was feared he too would be murdered
We learn that the family are fanatical
on the subject of religion, and are thought
to be insane, which for the credit of hu-
mainly we hope may be established.

THE TROOPER TO HIS MARE.



BIZ cHARLEsrG O. HALPINE.
OH girl, thou hast borne me far and fast
On paving hoofs that were never 10th,
Our galop to-day may be the last
For thee or for me, or perchance for both.
As | tighten your girth, do you nothing daunt
Do you catch the hint of our forming line
And now the artillery move to thu front.
Have you never a qualm, Bay Bess of mine
1t is dainty to see you sidle and start,
As You move to the battles cloudy marge,
And to feel the swell of your wahening heart
When our cavalry bugles sound charge.
At the scream of The shell and the roll of Che drum
You feign to be frightened with skittish glance
But up the green slopes, where the bullets hum
Coquettishly. darling, I've known you dance.
Your skin is satin, your nostrils red,
Your eyes are birds, or loving girls;
And from delicate fetlock to dainty head
A throbbing vein-cordage around you curls,
joy of my SOM! if you they STAY,
For triumph or route little cares
For there is not in all the wide valley to-day
Such dear little, bridle-wise, thoroughbred

STOPPING NEWSPAPER An exchange
has the following allegory, which we COM
mend to careful consideration
"a certain man hit his toe against a
pebble and fell headlong to the ground.
He was vexed, and under the influence of
anger and self-suiiciency, he kicked mo-
ther earth quite saucily. With impertur-
bable gravity he looked to see the earth
dissolved and come to naught. But the
earth remained, and only his poor foot was
injured in the encounter. This is the
way of man. An article in newspaper
touches him in weak spot, and forthwith
he sends to stop his paper. With great
complacency be looks to see the crash, when
he fads he only hit his own toe against a
world that does not parpetually feel the
shock, and Injuries no one but himself"

AT Home in the Evenings

Nothing concerning the future we'll fare
and happiness Of the young is SO neglected
by parents and guardians as the manner
in which their evenings are spent Dark
ness is temptation to evil and suffering
young men and boys to be absent from
the family hearth, when the light
of day does not restrain them from mis-
conduct is really restraining them to it,
and producing incalculable mischief and
ruin. All the riots, disturbances of any
kind, and crimes are the results of run
ming in the streets after nightfall. To
home something is more necessary than
the mere command, and parents should
endeavor by their own example to show
the Importance Of spending the hours of
darkness with the family for if heads of
household cannot experience the truth of
the assertion that ''there is no place like
home" how can they expect their offspring
to be domestic. Evening recreation and
employment in the family circle are infn-
itely more agreeable and pleasant than
any amusement or dissipation abroad !;
and honorable aad learned men are the
products of the one, while dissipated speci-
mems Of the human race are the results of
the other. Let home be the place it should
be, and let the same destinations and in
dacements be offered at the homestead as
abroad, and more exhalted and credit
able class of citizens would people the
world"
