A Shabby Trick.

About the shabbiest trick we ever
knew one white man to perpetrate upon
another, was played off on us by Gal"
Mcfarland, of the Portsmouth Tribune,
in connection with the late Editorial
Convention at Jackson. A few days pre-
vious TO the Convention he wrote US a
letter, telling US he would be at the Con-
ventiOn, and urging us to meet him
there, to do which we had to travel in a
buggy forty miles overland, part of the
way in the rain, and all of the way over
the worst roads we ever saw at this sea-
son of the year, while he had but take a
two hours ride by rail. Of course we
kept our word-we always do for that
matter-but what was our surprise, on
arriving at Jackson, to find that no Nc
Farland was there! Now, what ought
to be done with such a man2 We sub
init to our brethren of the press whether
be ought not to be poisoned to death on
corn molasses? No one need be surpris-
ed to hear that he has taken his depart
ure from this mundane sphere very
shortly. We have made provision for
that. We know his weak points. A
whisky bottle, containing a portion OF
the aforementioned article, dropped
quietly in his way when he is thirsty
and he's always thirsty, when whisky
is about-will probably do the business

The Value Of Rice.

The American people have made the
culture of rice so much of a study, and
pursued its progress so scientifically,
that our Carolina rice is acknowledged
to be the best in the world. While grow
ing, it is the most beautiful of all Amer
lean husbandries, and cannot fail to at
tract the attention of the most disinEsr-
ested reader
It is a very important article Of food
in its general usefulness. It is used for
breads of various kinds, cakes, pies,
custards, soups, gravies; also as a diet
for invalids-as a medicine in relieving
a disordered condition of the stomach
and bowels; it is invaluable in the
laundry, and is of great use in the man
ufactures, its paste being made into a
variety of tasteful ornaments. All kinds
Of stock, from horses to pigs, are fre-
quently fed on rice meal, the detritus Of
chaff and grain; it is a nutritious and
fattening food.
The rough rice, or paddy, the favOrite
food Of the rice bird, may be given to
poultry; it contains so much silex in its
rough husk, that while feeding on it
they need no gravel for attritiOn in the
gizzard. It is, therefore, particularly
suitable for poultry on a long voyage, or
in places where there is no gravel in the
soil. The chaff is in demand for pack
ing glass or chinaware, and is also g
perfect non-conductor of heat.

A New Princess.

Another American girl-and an Ohio
girl, too, Miss May Parsons, of Column
bus, has married a foreign Prince, man
whom the papers call LIE Prince de Ly-
mar. Nearly all these foreign princes
who seek American wives are downright
humbugs, adventurers, fortune-hunters.
They are usually wild, reckless young
fellows who have spent their patrimony
in fast living and dissipations of all
kinds and become mere titled vaga-
bonds. Being wholly disqualified by
education and habit from making Iiv-
ing for themselves, they take advantage
of the vanity of a certain class of wealthy
but giddy girls in this country and mar
rv them for their mOney-holding that
the title of princess which they confer
upon their brides is a full equivalent fol
the fortunes they get with them. These
titles are worth, in reality, just about a;
much as an ordinary soap bubble blown
from a clay pipe. We trust, however
that this case is an exception to the gen
erality of such marriages.

According to Agreement A

According 10 agreement
Too many persons display moral
.carelessness in passing doubtful bills.
If they are taken in by worthless
bank note, they get rid of it the
first opportunity, letting it slip to
some one else. An incident in
point is said to have occurred lately
at Buffalo. An enterprising mer-
chant of that city runs both a grocery
and a fsh market, the latter by a
deputy who every night makes re-
turns Of the days proceeds to the
proprietor.
A day or two since the grocer
found in his fish market returns a
a counterfeit S5. He didn't like to
lose it and he did not like to take
the chances of trying to pass it.
"Sam," said he to a fifteenth amend
ment citizen hanging about the
premises, ''here is a five dollar bill
that is little doubtful if you will
pass it, I will give you a dollar out
of the change" "Bery WE'LL" said
Sam, and he took the bill and went
of. Later in the day he returned.
having accomplished the feat, and
handed over four dollars in good
money to the grocer. That night
in looking over the cash returns of
the fish market the grocer was more
surprised than delighted to find the
identical bill in the pile. "LOok
here" said he, to the market clerk,
"Here's a bad bill +; who did you
get it of; didn't you know it was
counterfeit ?' ''That bill!' said the
clerk, Il took it of old Sam, the mig
ger. I thought it looked suspicious
at the time, but he said he got it of
you, and of course, I concluded it
was all right"

THE ROBIN.

My old Welch neighbor over the way
Crept slowly out in the sun of Spring,
Pushed from her ears the locks of gray,
Aud listened to hear the robin sing.
Her grandson, playing at marbles, stopped,
And, cruel in sport as boys will be,
Tossed stone at the bird, who hoped
From bough to bOugh in the apple tree.
''Nay ' said the grandmother shave you not heard
My poor, bad boy of the fiery pit,
And how, drop by drop, this merciful bird
Carries the water that quenches it7
''He brings cool dew in his little bill,
And let's it fall on the souls of sin:
You can rec the marks on his rsd breast still
Of fires that scorch as he drops it in.
"1Iy poor Bron rhuddyn my breast-burned bird,
Singing so sweetly from limb to limb,
Very dear to the heart of Our Lord
Is he who pities the lost like Him ~
''Amen l'' I said to the beautiful myth;
''Sing, bird of God, in my heart as well;
Each good thought is a drop wherewith
To cool and lessen the fires Of he'll.
"Prayers Of love like rain-drops fall,
Tears of pity are cooling dew,
And dear to the heart Of Our Lord are all
Who suffer like him in the good they dol''
John G. Whittier.

Beecher On Church Dressing

BeecheF On Church Dressing.
Here is some good plain talk and ad-
vice which ought to be needed, from the
Christian Union:
There was a time when good taste de-
manded the use of the pIainest clothes
in the sanctuary, when the weaIthiest
were distinguished for their conspicuous
absence of personal adornment and sar-
torial display was q mark of vulgarity
at such time and place. But nowadays,
in the congregation on the Sabbath, rich
and poor alike seem on a desperate
strain, the one to make some faint ap-
Proclamation to the other, in point of ex-
travagant display, and the other to dem
onstrate to the one the utter rhopelessness
of the attempt. It would almost appear
as if whatever might be thought Of the
propriety of a modest garb in other pla-
ces, the proper costume for the house OF
! God, where theoretically we all go to be
reminded of our common origin and
destiny, were an agglomeration of all
the jeweIry and all the chignons and all
the feathers and furbelows in ones ward
robe. The wearer is to carry all this pill
ed agony to the sanctuary as to a fair
as if her errand were not so much to
praise as to be appraised-and there en-
plov the sacred time in envious compar-
ison of her own mountain of millinery
with the Himalayan triumphs of her
neighbOr.

ONLY A BABY,s GRAVE.

ONLY A BABY'S GRAVE.
Only baby's grave
Some foot or two at the most,
Of star daisied sod, yet think that God
Knows what that little grave cost.
Only baby's grave
To children even so small,
That they sit there and sinE-so small thing
Seems scarcely grave at all
Only baby's grave
Strange! how we moan and fret
For little face that was here such a space
Oh! more strange could we forget
Only baby's grave
Did we measure grief by this
Few tears were shed on our baby dead
know how they fell on this.
Only baby's gravel
viii the little life be much
Too small gem for bis iisdem,
Whose kingdom is made Of such
Only baby's gravel
Yet often we come and sit
By the little stone, and thank God to own
We are nearer to Him for it.

LAUaHTER.-Lycurgus, we are told,

and his example was very generally

cheerfuIness," says Richter, "throws
sunlight on all the paths of life" Nor
let it be imagined that the disposition
to il is incompatible with earnestness of
thought or depth of feeling; on the con-
trary, it may be observed that quick
sense of the humorous is generally ac-
companied by as quick a sense of the
pathetic; as may be seen at theatrical
representations; those who are most
easily moved to tears at tragedy, be-
ing frequently the loudest in their risi-
bility at the farce.

ssStrategY. wv Row,

An exchange tells a novel love story:
A young couple planned an eIopemenU.
The girl descended from her room on
the traditional ladder, but at the gate
they were met by the father of the girl
and the minister, by whom they were
escorted to the parlor, where, to their
surprise they found all the relatives col
lected fOrthe marriage ceremonies which
took place at once. It was a neat pater-
nal freak, but not near as neat as that Of
a fond parent we know. He heard his
daughter and her fellow plan an eIope-
ment. The next day the old man waited
on the young man and addressed him
thus: "You're a fine, brave youth, and
I don't object to you for a son-in-law.-
Here's a hundred dollars to aid in the
elopement. May you live happily in the
same house, and may no accident occur
to throw the least shadow on the sun
shine of your life. All I request is that
you elope with my daughter;-she's a
mighty nice girl, but somehow and her
mother could never travel smoothly
with her. EIope with her to such a dis
tance that she won't return to her loving
father and mother any more. Good bye,
sonny, and may you be happy" There
was an elopement that evening of one.
The young man went UnaCcompanied.
He thought everything couldn't be right
when the father was so anxious to get
rid of the girl. The father looks on this
as a neat bit of strategy for one who had
never been on NcCIeIIan's staff.

The only question is whether the

be no difference of opinion. The
people who scotched the snake Of
treason will pull the fangs out of
this new creation as soon as they

will never permit such an incuba-
