How to Get Big Crops.

As rule, farmers are much more anxi-
Gus to get big prices, than big crops. There
are few farms whose average production
could not be doubled in very short time
bv more capital and labor. 1t is safer to
use capital in farming than in almost any
other business. The credit of the pillow is
quite as good as that of the loom or anvil;
and the capital will come, if it is called for.
Use more manure, and get thirty bushels
of wheat where you now get fifteen, and
eighty bushels of corn where you now get
forty. The quantity of grain per acre is
mainly question of manure and tillage. A
big compost-heap makes full grain bin.
With high manuring, the soil needs deeper
stirring and gradual bringing up of the
subsoil to the surface With the present
horse-harrows and cultivators, nearly all
the cultivation can be done by horsepower,
at great saving of expense and great in
crease of the crops.

Sorrow is our lot in this world, but if we
are the children of God it VIII not be car
ried beyond the grave. o what " fulness
joy for it is uDspeakable and full of glory,
The cup will be so full in the presence of
God and the Lamb, amid the ransomed
around the throne above, that there will be
no room for one drop of sorrow.
e Here our sweetest pleasures are but mo-
mentary, they fly away as passing cloud.
But cat Gods right hand are pleasures for
ever more" 1t is "life eternal" it is an
everlasting salvation" it is ga kingdom
that cannot be moved" it is "crown of
glory that fadeth not away"
1t is good to have God dwell with US !;
but it will be far better when we go to dwell
with God. OLD PILGRIM.

me Seed and the Sewers.

Ever so little the seed may be,
Ever so little the hand,
But when it is sowD it must grow, you see,
And develop its nature, weed, flower or tree;
The sunshine, the air, and the dew are free
At its command.
If the seed be good, we rejoice in hope
Of the harvest it viii yield
We wait and watch for its springing up,
Admire its growth and count on the crop
That viii come from the little seeds we drop
In the great, wide field.
But if we heedlessly scatter wide
Seeds we may happen to find,
We care not for culture or what may betide,
We SOW here and there on the highway side,
Whether they've lived or whether they've died,
We never mind.
Yet every sower must one day reap
Fruit from the seed he has sown.
How carefully, then, it becomes US to keep
A watchful eye on the seed, and seek
To SOW what is good, that we may not weep
To receive our own.

FARMERS as class should discuss their voca.
ton and interests more extensively than they are
in the habit of doing The information they possess
and may command should be generally disseminat-
ed, digesed and brought within the scope of prac-
tice and the means to effect this lies in Farmers
clubs agricultural books and journals. Winter
gives the farmer some leisure, which should be
improved in every practicable way to gain such
knowledge as will direct manual labor to more
effective results.

"In 1882, on board an American ship on
her voyage from Havre to New York, the
first telegraph was conceived, and its essen

testimony of many witnesses, it lisped its
first accents, and automatically recorded
them in this city, a few blocks only distant

YOU with the maladies of its unfedged infan-

giles against poverty, and the influence of
the substantial incredibly of those who could
have rescued it from its obscurity. 1t found
a friend-an efficient friend-in Mr.. Albert
Vail, of New Jersey, who, with his father
and brother, furnished the means to give the
child a. decent dress, preparatory to its visit
to the seat of government. These few facts
suffice here to indicate the time and place Of
the birth of the telegraph. In 1882 it was
planned on board the ship. In 1885 its
first operation was shown in the New York
City University. In the winter of 1887
and 1888 it was presented before Congress. >

condition. While in France and Italy the
silk-worm is affected by fatal disease, on
the Pacific Coast of the United States the
eggs are sound, and the worms are healthy
and vigorous 1t is stated that orders have
been sent from Europe to the California
silk-growers for all the eggs they can pro-
duce for years to come, at 81 per ounce
each ounce containing 10000 eggs. The
California Legislature has sought to encour-
age this valuable interest by offering pre-

THE WOUNDS of the conscience, like those
of the body, cannot be well cured until they
are searched to the bottom; and they cannot
be searched without pain. A man who is
engaged in the study of himself must be
content to know the worst of himself.

To Our Friends in the Country.

The strides which THE NEWS has made IN cir
eulation, especially in the country, within the last
twelve months, encourage us to redouole our
efforts to make 1t such paper as everybody wants
to read. and visitor which shall be welcomed In
every household in the State. There Is no good
reason why live Charleston newspaper, which
keeps pace with the progress and spirit OF the
day, and Is published at price which places it
within the reach Of all, should not, with proper
mail facilities attain circulation Of Thirty
Thousand copies; and we can promise that no ex-
eftions or enterprise shall be wanting on our part
to make the regular edition OF thus journal ap-
proximate to that figure.
As peculiarly attractive inducement TO the
planters Of the State to become subscribers 10
TIE NEWS before the expiration Of the present
year, We have arranged with Messrs. walker,
Evans & Cogswell, the publishers of the Rural
Garolinian," to supply that new and superb agri-
cultural magazine, together with The NEWS, at
the following very low rates:
THE DAILY NHws and the " Rural Carolinian,"
one year. for six dollars and fifty cents.
TIE TRI-wEExLY NEWS and the "Rural Carroll
man. one year, for four dollars.
Subscriptions to the two publications may be
sent either to the proprietors Of THE NEWS, or to
the proprietors Of the "Rural Carolinian." But
parties desiring to avail themselves Of this offer
must do so before the irst Of January next, as
the arrangement will not be extended beyond
that period.
When these rates are contrasted with those OF
the Charleston papers before the war, when the
yearly price Of a daily was ten dollars, and OF
tri-weeky five dollars, in gold, or Its equivalent,
NO think we NAV fairly claim that TIE NEWS has
labored to some purpose in the diffusion OF intel
ligence among the people at prices suited to the
changed aspect Of the times.
