- Madder colors red, this is the reason
why the madder you get the redder you
grow.
- One of the secrets Of successful
farming is to sell when others are buy
ing, and buy when others are selling.
A little girl attending party was
asked by her mother how she enjoyed her
self. "0h," said she, 81 am full Of happi.
ness I couldn't be no happier unless /
could grow"
- Mr.. o. A. Osborne, of Cairo, has in
vented spring to be attached to the feet,
by means of which a person is relieved of
the labor of walking to great extent.
He claims his invention will enable man
to walk ten miles per hour with ease.
"A young lady took her younger
brother, little boy of three or four years,
to church. The preacher was an earnest
man, and spoke very loud. During the
sermon she saw the little fellow in tears,
and asked him what was the matter with
him. He sobbed out "That man is hol-
lering at me-.
"A little boy of our city not long since
had beheld some explosive experiments
with powder among some largerjnveniles,
and afterwards understood that his father
had administered to an. elder brother a
powder. "Papa," said the little fellow,
,"Buddie take powder, he shoot off and
blow up!" "Oh, no, my son, the father re-
piled ,"the powder will make Buddie well"
ayes he WILL" persisted the little hopeful,
i"he'll blow up if you totch fire to him?-
Sumter Republican.
- Greeley, Of the New York Tribune,
gives the carpetbaggers Of the South an
other hint when he says in leading edi-
toriM "that it is high time that Southern
Republicans should desist from hanging
around the neck of the North, and begin
to take care of themselves" The fact is,
these birds of prey arc almost as much
despised at the North as at the South.
They are "going under" fast, and the me-
eroes had better cut their acquaintance,
and 90 with their own Southern people.
The wheel is turning rapidly, and "tho
right" will soon be on top.
= Tie true mission of woman lies in
the family, where her very weakness be-
comes strength, her beauty an attrae-
ton to good, her soft and winning ways
an enticement to nobleness of purpose
and effort, and her loving sympathies
solace for the mischances of the strife in
the outer world. 1t is when woman
abandons these her strongholds and un-
sexes herself to battle as man that she
inficts loss upon society end deprives
man of his powerful stimulous. We can
conceive no more worse form of social or
ganzaton than one where unsexed wo-
man would descend from the high level
upon which Christianity and modern civ
ilization have placed her and degrade her
finer sympathies by placing them upon
level with the coarser nature which tits
man for the battles of the world.
- There was man who lived in Cass
county, Georgia, many years ago, who had
once been in the State Legislature, and
never neglected an opportunity to empha-
size the fact. He was perfect infdcl as
to new discoveries and the new sciences,
being perfectly satisfsd that if the world
should turn over, all the water would
spill out of his well and only giving in
to steam cars by slow degrees. But all
the vials of his contempt wero poured out
upon the idea Of telegraph, and he was
wont to say that nobody need try to come
"the green" over him in that way, for he
had been in the Legislature. Finally, the
state road was built; and one day work
men began to put up telegraph posts right
in front of his house, and to stretch the
wire. His exultant neighbors thought
they had him on that occasion, and asked
"Well old fellow, what do you think of
telegraphs now ?" He was concerned
but died game. Drawing himself up an
inch taller, he said, "Gentlemon, when 1
was in the Legislature 1 gave this subject
my very attentive consideration; and 1
said then, as say now, that it may do fer
letters and small bundles, but it will nev-
