Presently the door opened, and the gen.

a good story is told Of DIR. Caldwell,
formerly of the University of North Car
olina.
The doctor was small man, and lean,
but as hard and angular as the most ir-
regular of pine knots.
He lookedas though he might be tough,
but he did not seem to be strong. New
ertheless he was, among the knowing
ones, reputed TO be agile "as a cat and
in addition was by no means deficient in
a knowledge of the "nianly art" Well,
in the freshman class of a certain year
was burly beef mountaineer Of eighteen
or nineteen. This genius conceived
great contempt for old Bolus' physical
dimensions, and his soul was Mortified
that one SO deficient in muscle should be
SO potential in bis rule.
Poor Jones, that is what well call him,
had no idea of moral force. At any rate,
he was not inclined to knock under and
be controlled despotically by a man he
imagined he could tieor whip. Atlength
he determined TO give the old gentleman
a gcntecl private thrashing, some night,
in the College Campus. pretending TO
mistake him for some fellow student.
Shortly after, on dark and rainy
night, Jones met the Doctor crossing the
Campus. Walking up to him. sbrxtly.
"Hello, Smith! you rascal, is this
youg"
And with that he struck the old gen
tleman blow on the side Of the face that
nearly felled him to the ground.
Old Bolus said nothing, hut squared
himself, and at it they went. Jones
youth, weight, and muscle made him an
"ugly customer" but after round or
two the Doctors science began to tell,
and in n short time he had knocked his
antagonist down, was straddle of his
chest, with one hand on his throat and
the other dealing vigorous cuffs on the
side of the head.
"Ah stop; beg pardon, Doctor,
Doctor CALDWELL mistake-for Heav-
ems sake, Doctor?" he groaned. Il
really though it was Smith"
The Doctor replied with word and a
blow alternately.
at makes no difference For all pres
ent purposes, consider me Smith"
And it is said that old Bolus gave
Jones such pounding that he never
made another mistake as to personal
idedentitv.

the Indian Home, th.s he- came 10 his

Of the writers, by saying, "Yes; but you

P~Stagc ON Seeds.

Ag q, anot>s decision of the post
master-general h's inconvenienced mil
lion or more of hSd-working farmers,
mechanics, and theAfamilies. Several
years ago law was lassed by Congress
whereby four-pound packages of seeds
could be sent through the rails at one
half cent an ounce. This laN enabled
thousands of our readers in remse local
ties to receive flower and vegetableseeds
from the most celebrated growers, ,S,ho
would otherwise have been obliged 70 10
without them.
This excellent law has been virtually
repealed. At the last session of Congress
another law was enacted, which was de-
signed as an addition to AserSisfing one,
granting additional postal privileges.
Thisiaw allows small packages of miner
ais, samples of goods, in fact almost any
thing, to be sent through the mails, in
twelve-ounce packages, at one cent an
ounce.
The new law has been so construed
that seedsmen are nov compelled to di-
vide four-pound package into six parts.
As nearly all the riders received by
seedsmen range from one to four pounds
of each variety, it viii readily be seen
that the existing INV requires large
amount of useless hbor.
We are credihy Informed that the
f,ong'yss OF the United States sssembles
annually tc>ersct laws for the benen>af
the people. b',Sc~ew postal law, as in
terpreted by the po~srnsster-general,

it not be better to enact postal laws that

ceptional decisions Of ON or more of their
servantsY-Rural World

Says the Columbia Spec'dto
Mr.. Ephraim Keltner's neighbors were
invited to his house last week to "oorn-
shucking and quilting" No one who
attended supposed anything more inter
osting than constructing and a quilt
ing would occur, but about noon, the
guests having been called from labor %
the refreshments prepared for the occa-
sion. to their astonishment preacher
stepped forward, and, with the usual
ceremony, united in the holy bonds of
matrimony daughter of MIR. Keltner
and one of the neighbor boys. The af,
fair was managed SO quietly that none of
the company had suspicion Of the in
tended marriage until the parties were
ON the floor. The ceremony over, dinner
came next in order, after which, all
hands went 10 work gain, the happy
groom shucking more corn than any one
else on the ground.

THE EVERLASTING MEMO.
RIAL.

Up and away, like the dew Of the morning,
Soaring from earth to it, home in the sun;
So let me steal away, gently and lovingly,
Only remembered by what have done.
Ny name and my place aud my tomb all for
gotten,
The bricfraccof time we'll and patiently run,
So let me pass away, peacefully, and silently,
Only remembered by what have done.
Gladly away from this toll would hasten,
Up to the crown that for me has been won
Unthought Of by man in rewards or praires-
Only remembered by what have done.
Up and away, like odors Of sunset,
That sweeten the twilight as darkness cones
on,
SO be my life-ea thing felt but not noticed,
And | but remembered by what have done.
Yes-likc the fragrance that wanders in fresh
ness,
Where the flowers that it came from arc
closed up and gone,
So would be to thi. worlds weary dwellers.
Only remembered by what have done.
Needs then the praise of the eloye-writen record,
The name and the epitaph graved on the
stone?
The things that we lived for-let them be our
story,
We ourselves but remembered by what we
have done.
need not be missed, il my life has been bear
ing
(As its summer and autumn moved silently
on)
The bloom, and the fruit, and the seed of its
season.
shall still be remembered by what have
done.
need not be missed, IL another succeed me,
To reap down those fields which in spring
have sown;
lie who ploughed and who sowed is not missed
by the reaper,
lie is only remembered by what he has done
Not myself, but the truth that in life have
spoken,
Not myself, but the seed that in life have
sOwn,
Shall pass on to ages-all about me forgotten,
Save the truth have spoken, the things !
have done.
30 lc; my living Be, so 55 my dying,
So let my name lie, unblazoncd, unknown,
Unprai.ol and unmissed shall still be re-

Save the Sl.iIs.

At the request of our ola subscribers
we republish the followinguseful recipe :
The skin of an animal, whether COW,
calf, colt, or horse, that DIES on the farm
is worth more at home nnn at the tan
ner's. Cut it into narrow stips and
shave off the hair with sharp knife be-
fore the kitchen fire, r in your work
shop on stormy days ard evenings. You
may make them soft by rubbing a
rawhide halter strap, an inch wide, will
hold horse better and longer than an
inch rope. 1t is stronger than hoop iron
and more durable, and may be used tc
hoop dry casks and boxes, and for max
ing hinges. Try iton broken thill, OF
on any woodwork that has been split
Put il ON wet and nail it fast. A raw
hide rope is good substitute for chain
-Rurdi.
