A House OF Your OwN.-Next


to being married to the right per-
son, there is nothing SO important
in ones life as to live under ones
own roof.
There it something more than a
poetical charm in the expression
of the wife:
We have our cosy home: It is
thrice dear to US, because it is our
own. We have bought it with
the savings of our earnings. Many
were the soda fountains, the con.
fectionery saloons, and the nice
ties of the market we had to pass;
many time my noble husband
denied himself the comfort of to-
bacco, the refreshing draught of
beer; wore his old clothes, and
even patched up boots and I, o
men! made my old bonnet do,
wore the plainest clothes, and did
the plainest cooking; saving was
the order of the hour, and to have
"a home of our own had been our
united aim.
Now we have it, there is no
landlord troubling US with raising
the rent and exacting this and
that. There is no fear harboring
in our bosom that in sickness or
old age we will be thrown ont of
house and home, for it is our own,
and the money we have saved to
pay rent, is sufficient to keep us
us in comfort in the winter days
of life.
What a lesson does the above
words teach, and how well would
it be if hundreds of families would
would heed them, and instead of
living in rented houses, which
take a large share Of their capital
to furnish, and a quarter of their
earning to pay the rent, dress and
eat accordingly; would bravely
curtail expenses and concentrate
their efforts on having a ''house OF
their own" Better a cottage of
your own than a rented palace

a Grand Jury Presenting the
Court and Bar as a Nuisance.

The Grand Jury of Usage Coun-
ty, North Carolina, according to
the Raleigh Sentinel, (Rad.) has
recently made a presentment some
what unusual in character. We
copy:
The Grand Jury regret to see
the present Judiciary so utterly
unmindfu1 of the example of their
illustrious predecessors, and es-
pecially, in these days of political
chaos and social upheaving, to see
the bench descending to the hus-
tings, bandying vituperation and
personal abuse with the bar and
with pothouse poHticians-each
the assailant and in turn assailed /;
the bench charging the bar with
larceny, forgery and mule-stealing;
the bar retorting that the bench
had been ca saed by negro upon
a debt justly due, and forced by
this harsh process of the law to
pay the money after being called
out and FORGETTING the bail. The
bar also charging that the bench
was a jail-bird and convict from
the penitentiary of Ohio. All this
very naturally ending in a fight
between the bench and member
of the bar, as the former journey
ed on his way TO Court. This
breach of the peace between the
bench and the bar occurring on
the train and in the ladies' car,
and so much to their terror and
alarm that the conductor threat
ened to put the bench and bar off
the train, Notwithstanding the bar
loudly proclaimed himself a direc,
tor of the road.
These things are we'll calcula.
ted to bring both the bench and
the bar into disrepute and to de-
grade them in the estimation of
the people. The bar should be
the seat of all that is knightly,
chivalrous and true; the bench
the abode of justice, dignity, in
tegrity and calm deliberation ;
both should be above suspicion.
Let the fountains of justice be
poisoned, and the waters that flow
therefrom will be bitter as the
waters of Marah to all who drink
of the poisoned stream.
The Grand Jury do present each
and every one of the judges who
have taken open and active part
of the hustlngs, to wit: Chief;jus,
tice Pearson, and his associates,
Justices Reade, Dick, Settle
and Rodeman; and the Circuit
Court Judges, to-wit: Judges
I Could, Jones, Watts, Henry, Rus.
sell, Pool, Thomas, Logan, Cannon
and yOur Honor, as guilty of con,
duct unbecoming the Judiciary
always saying and excepting Judge
Mitchell; and instead of present
ing, they do thank and commend
him for his political silence and
noble bearing as a just and upright
Judge.
And the Grand Jury do unani
mously and respectfully ask Of
your Honor that, as a part of the
history of the times, and that pos
terity and the Judges may know
what this Grand Jury think Of
political Judges, this paper writ
> ing be spread in full upon the
minutes of the Court.

The Last Tear I Shed.
By ROBERT JOssELYN.

The last tear shed was the warm one
that fell,
AS kissed thee, dear mother, and babe
thee farewell:
When saw the deep anguish impressed
on thy face,
And felt for the last time mothers en-
brace,
And heard thy choked accents, most fran
tic and wild,
God bless the for ever! God bless thee !
my child.
thought of my boyhood, thy kindness to
me,
When, youngest and dearest, sat on thy
knee,
Thy love to me ever so fondly expressed,
AS grew up to manhood, unconscious
how blest,
Thy praises when right, and thy chidings
when wrong,
While hayward with passions, unyielding
and strong.
thought of thy counsels, unheeded or
spurned,
As mirth had enlivened or anger had
burned,
And how, when by sickness all helpless
lay.
Thou didst nurse me and soOthe me by
night and by day,
How much l had been both thy sorrow
andjoy,
And my feelings o'erhowed, and wept
like a boy.
Years, years of endurance have vanished
and now
There is pain in my heart, there is care on
my brow,
The visions of fancy and hope are all gone
And cherless travel life's pathway alone
Alone! Ay, alone; though some kind
ones there be,
There are none here to love me, to love me
like thee.
My mother, dear mother, d-heartet
they deem
Thy offspring, but, o, am not what
seem;
Though calmy and fearless all changes
bear,
Could they look in my bosom, the feeling
is there.
And now, sad and lonely, rs memory re
calls
Thy blessing at parting, again the tea
falls.

AesA AAAS A"S'S Ny OnAS OAAO COu1-
pleted their preparation for win
ter, so far as relates to the com.
mon every-year work of that kind
and that they have now time for
some permanent improvement on
their farms. Some will build
fence and others clear a new piece
of ground; but we would like to
see more ditching than we have
yet seen or heard of in these inte-
rior States. But in Missouri we sell
dom hear of any undertaking
except by fruit growers. In ILL
nois some draining tile has been
laid, and in some sections the mole
pillow has been used quite extern
sively.
On a great many farms in the
Eastern States from five to forty
acres are thoroughly drained, and
all so far as we know, consider
the money thus spent on them
their best investments.
Land that has gravely orloose,
porous subsoil would not be much
benefited by draining, but sloughs
and all land that has a stiff clay
subsoil impervious by water should
be drained, and we think that
little of this work could be done
on some farms before winter closes
upon us.
We are aware that, to many
farmers, all drainage, except in
very wet land, appears to be a
mere experiment, and it is with
this view of the case that we write
to advise all such to begin now,
and make at least a small expert
ment in draining. Take some
corner of a field where there may
be a good outlet, or the garden,
and lay tile two and a half feet
deep-three and a half would be
better. The work can be facilita.
ted by blowing so as to leave the
dead furrow where the ditch is to
be, and by blowing twice nearly
a foot can be thrown out, and then
with a spade the ditch can soon
be opened to the desired depth.
When the tile is laid and a little
earth carefully packed by its side
to keep-it in place a double tree
about six or seven feet long may
be made so that span Of horses
can walk one on each side of the
ditch, and the pillow used in killing
the ditch and leveling the ground.
| If the soil has considerable sand
in its composition the drains may
be thirty or even forty feet apart;
but if it is very compact they
should not be more than twenty
| feet apart.
The tile necessary for such an
experiment can be obtained in
this city, and many other places
and in the end are cheaper than
any other kind of drain.
There are instances on some
Eastern farms where clay tile has
been laid over twenty years anG
is still as sound, apparently, al
when first put down.
We hope our reader will take
, this matter in hand and prove tt
themselves the benefit of draining
and we have no doubt that many
farmers would increase the aggre
gate product of their farms more
by draining some of the acres al
, ready in cultivation than they
would by clearing and adding al
equal number of acres of new
ground to their fields Jon,ma
