MEN OF Few WoRDs.-Soms men use
words as rihemen use bullets. They say but
little The few words used 60 right to the
mark. They let you talk and guide with
their hands and face, and on and on, till
what you say can be answered in word or
two, and then they launch out sentence,
pierce the matter to the quick, and arc done.
Your conversation falls into their mind as a
river into a deep chasm and is lost to sight
from its depth and darkness. They will
sometimes surprise you with few worda
that go to the mark like a gunshot wound
and they are silent again as if they were re-
loading. Such men are safe counsellors and
true friends where they profess to be SUCH
To them truth is more valuable than gold
while pretension is too gaudy to deceive
them. Words without point, to them, are
like titles without merit, only betraying the
weakness of the blinded dupes who are ever
used as promotersof other mems schemes

| Ten ACRES ENoUaH.-In Europe, ten
acres of rich land is small fortune to an
industrious family. Suppose we see what
an industrious family may do on ten acres
ofland near this place. One acre for the
house, lot, yard and stable lot. One acre
10 grape vines, will produce in year or two
an abundance of fruit. In ten years tho
vines will be worth SIS to 500 per vino
or between $4,000 and 5000. One acre
of the right variety of strawberries, with
proper culture, will produce handsome in
come. One acre should be devoted to dwarf
pears, with mixture of standard tress.-
Two acres should be devoted to apples,
peaches and other fruits, and the kitchen
garden. One acre should be devoted to
corn forage for the stock. Three acres will
be enough for raising corn, potatoes, pump
kins, etc. Two mich COWS could be kept
up all the time, fed all they could eat, and
pay handsomely for their good treatment.
One good horse could also be sustained.
Pigs and poultry could be kept in good or
der without much expense The products
of the barn yard, and the use of green maa-
ures, with thorough pulverization of the
soil, will make the soil richer every year.
Such place in ten years would yield
princely revenue to its owner. Think of the
result of one hundred such farms.

BEAN soUp.-With all thy dinner-getting
get soup. Get into the habit of having it.
Soup is to dinner what an anthem is to di.
vine service. 1t is not half the trouble that
inexperienced housekeepers imagine it may
be. Only a little is required on which to
begin dinner. When once in the way of
having it, regularly, you will appreciate the
convenience of soup stock. and value it
equally with prepared fruits. To make
bean soap, clean the beans over night, pour
boiling water over them and let them stand
until morning. Then place in plenty of
fresh water and put over the fire, add
small piece of corued beef with half as much
pork; cover tight and skim as needed.
When the beans are partially cooked, add
sliced carrot, parsley, celery and pepper
boil slowly until done, strain into a tureon

How EASILY BUTTER IS Spoiled.
farmers wife writing to the Ohio Farmer
says: "Of all products Of the farm, butter
is most liable to be tainted by noxious odors
floating in thu atmosphere Oar people
laid some veal in TIE cellar, from which a
little blood flowed out, and was neglected
until it commenced to smell. The result
was, that a jar of butter which l was then
packing smelled and tasted like spoiled
beef" Another lady reader observes that
there is pond of filthy, stagnant water Q
few hundred feet from her house, from
which an offensive efauvum would be borne
on the breeze directly to the milk-room,
when the wind was in a certain direction,
the result of which was that cream and but.
ter would taste like the disagreeable odor
coming from the pond. AS soon as the
pond was drained we had no more damaged

TIE MEDICAL

The Medical College of the State OF South
Carolina is one of the Oldest schools IN this
country, and has enjoyed a reputation sur
passed by no other institution. Before the
! war her students were numbered by hum
| dreds, and her halls were filed with represen.
| tatiyes from every Southern State. From New
| York to San Francisco her sons are found fill
ing high and responsible positions; and In the
| long list of her alumni she knows of
none who have disgraced her diploma.
The ability and energy of ier fac
ulty had placed her in the proud position
of the first medical college of the South. The
faculty knowing the pecunlary difficulty at
this time in the way of many a worthy young
man who would commence the study of medl-
cine, have, after the most mature and serious
consideration, determined to offer to medical
students during the coming session a complete
course of lectures free OF charge. This step
has been taken after the most anxious and
earnest elaboration, and they Wish 1t distinct
" understood that they do not intend, In the
slightest degree, to lower the standard Of
medical education, or render still easier the
already too great facility by which diplomas
are obtained. The course of lectures will
begin on the 18th instant.

was not formally extended until last "sones-

bama, and about thirty-three years DIG. hlS
collegiate studies we're pursued at george
town College, Kentucky, where he graduated
With honor. A short time alter his gradua-
t,on. he conceived the Idea OF studying theo-
logy, and, with that view, entered the South
ern Baptist Theological Seminary, at Green
Vile. South Carolina. In the year 1860, he
COMPLETED his course of studies, aud left the
institution with renewed honors. During the
same year, he married q Miss Mauldin, OF
G~reenville, and assumed charge OF the Baptist
Church at Sumter, 8. G., which charge he re-
tanned until the latter part Of 1861, when ne
resigned it tor service In the Confederate
army. At the close OF the war he accepted
the call of a small church near Ninety-slx, 10
Nswberry County. In 1866 he resigned this
for the Baptist Church at Aiken, where he re-
NAMED one year, and at the same time Kept a
school. In 1867 he received and accepted the
call of the Second Baptist Church OF hlch-
mond. Va, which he kept until a short lime
ago. He is represented as an able man ana an
eloquent preacher. Besides the call from tnls
civ he has recently received two others; one
from Kansas City and another from the South
Baptist Church Of New York City. The call
from Kansas City he has already refused, and
his friends In this city are quite hopeful that
he will also refuse that from New York IN
favor of the one from this city.
