Gaping with their lives. They did not

been defect in the chimney.

During the fever epidemic here,
the stock of Ayers Ague Cure in the
Old North State became exhausted, and
before supply. could be received from
Lowell, the suffering from chilIs and
fever became fearful. A few parties
were so fortunate as to have it on hand,
and in Iredell County, the druggists
eked ont their slender stocks by selling
doses-a spoonful each-for dollar.
Many paid ten dollars for bottle, when
the regular price is but one, and thought
themselves favored at that, so valuable
are the curative properties of this pre-
paration, which not only expels the
poison from the system, but leaves the
patient with. unimpaired health and
vigor. Raleigh IN. O. Standard.

If q man wishes to get rid of dys-
pepsia, he must give his stomach and
brain less to do. 1t will be Of no
service for him to follow any partlc-
ular regime-to live on chaff: bread
or any such stuff-to weigh his bread,
etc., so long as the brain is in a con-
slant state of excitement. Let that
have proper rest, and the stomach
will perform its functions. But if he
pass fourteen or fifteen hours day
in his Office or counting room. and
take no exercise, his stomach will in
evitably become paralyzed, and if he
put nothing into it but cracker a
day, it will not digest it. In many
cases it is the brain that is the pri-
mary cause. Give that delicate or.
gan some rest. Leave your business
behind you when you go to your
home. Do not sit down to your din
ner with your brows knit, and your
mind absorbed in casting up interests
and accounts. Nevcrabr dge the usual
hours of sleep. Take more or les
exercise il The open air every day.
Allow yourself some innocent recre-
alton. Eat moderately, slowly, AID
Of what yon please, provided it te
not the shovel and tongs. If any
particular dish disagrees with you,
however, never touch it or Look At it
Do MT imagine that you NUT IL e
on rye bread or oatmeal lorrllge; a
reasonable quantity OF Nutritious
food is essential to the mind as well
as the body. Above all, bAnish all
thoughts OF the subject. If you have
any treatises on dyspepsia domestic
medicine, etc, put them directly into
the fire. If you are constantly talk.
ing and thinking about dyspepsia,
you will surely have it. Endeavor
to forget that you have a stomach.
Keep a clear conscience; live ten.
perately, regularly, cleanly; be in
dustrious, too, but be temperate

The Sort Of Men that Women
Like Rest.
Edgefeld, S. c.

We know that men naturally shrink
from the attempt to obtain companp-
ions who are their superiors; but
they will find that really intelligent
women who possess the most desirable
qualities are uniformly modest, and
hold their charms in modest estima-
ton. What such women most ad-
mire in men is gallantry; not the gal
lantry of courts and fops, but bold,
ness, courage, devotion and refined
eivility. A mans bearing WINS ten
superior women where his boots and
brains win one. If a man stand be-
fore woman with respect for him
self and fearlessness Of her, his suit
is half won. The Test may safely be
left to the parties most interested.
Therefore never be afraid of wo-
man. Women are the most harmless
aid agreeable creatures in the world
to man who shows that he has got
a man 8 soul in him. If you have
not got the spirit to a test like this,
you have not got that in you which
most pleases high-souled woman,
and you will be obliged to content
yourself with the simple girl who, in
quiet way, is endeavoring to at
tract and fasten you. But don't be
in hurry about the matter. 1t isn't
creditable to you. Especially don't
imagine that any disappointment in
love which takes place before you are
twenty-one years old will be of any
material damage to you. The truth
is, that before a man is twenty-five
years old be does not know what he
wants himself. So don't be in a hur-
ry. The more man you become,
AID the more manliness you become
capable of exhibiting in your associ-
alton with women, the better wife
you will be able to obtain and one
years possession Of the heart aud
hand Of really noble specimen Of
her sex, is worth nine hundred and
ninety-nine years possession of a
sweet creature with two ideas in her
head, and nothing new to say about
either of them. So don't be in
hurry, we say again. You don't
want wife now, and you have no
idea of the kind of a wife you will
want by-and-by. Go into female So
ciety. if you can find that which
will improve you, but not otherwise.

LANGUAGE AMONG ANIMALs.-M.
Honzean maintains that not only
does each group Of animals possess a
language which is understood by
other members Of the same group,
but that they can learn to understand
the language of other groups His
dogs, for instance, perfectly, under
stood his poultry, Cocks and hens
have one danger-signal for the ap-
proach of bird oil psey,> another for
that OF a terrestriak animal or Stor a
man. When the latter was sounded,
the dogs would rush out and bark,
while to the former they paid no at
tention whatever. He therefore con-
cludes that fowls have the power of
expressing slightly different but close
ly allied ideas, and dogs can learn to
understand these differences.-Scrib-
ner's Monthly.

A man in Syracuse. says an ex-
change, finds himself under the ne-
cessity of writing long letter to a
newspaper in favor Of kissing at
church sociables. We have never
taken sides in this discussion of this
interesting and important subject, but
we are inclined to think that if it
became clearly apparent that the
cause of public morality would be
materially advanced and the eficien-
cy Of the ecclesiastical system largely
increased by the introduction of this
invigorating exercise atthe sociables,
we would readily sacrifice whatever
personal feeling we have in the mat
ter. and favor it, provided this Office
is permitted to have representative
present to form an opinion of the ma
terial operation Of the system.

as much opposed to the general law
Of emigration as the upward flow of
water is to that of gratitation. Yet
it appears that Illinois has drawn
from the Southern States nearly one
half as many immigrants as she has
received from all foreign cornsriesl
Though I regard this fact as ex-
ceedingly suggestive, and particular
ly worthy of the attention of those
who believe with Mr.. Howard that
without foreign aid the South "must
sink into hopeless vassalage," I leave
it without further comment, as my
remarks have already exceeded the
space proposed to occupy.
may, however, be permitted tc
add that I am not opposed to foreign
immigration; but being confident IL
the belief that "God has surrounded
US with natural means Of greatness II
aauent profusion," I hold that it be-
comes us to place some reliance or
Tour own willing hearts and strong
arms" and on the assistance or CO.
operation of our neighbors, as well as
on the capital and labor of Europe
This I believe the people of the South
are now doing, and that a far more
hopeful view than that presented BY
the orator of the Georgia Agricultu'
raj Convention is justified by the
present aspect of Southern affairs.

If I had known in the morning
How wearily all the day,
Tho words uhkind would trouble my
mind
That said when you went away,
had been more careful, darling,
Nor given you needless pain;
But we vex our own with look and tone,
We might never take back again.
For though in the quiet evening
You may give me the kiss Of peace, =.
Yet it well might be that never for me
The pain of the heart should cease!
How many 60 forth at the morning..
Whonever come hom eatnight! [spoken,
And hearts have broken for harsh words
That sorrow can ne'er set right.
We have careful thought for the stranger,
And SMILES for the sometime guest;
But oft for our own the bitter tone,
Though we love our own the best.
All lips with the curve impatient,
All brow with the shade OF scorn,
'Twere cruel fate, were the night too late
To undo the work of morn!

How A PARENT PLAYS INDIAN AND
GETS THE WoRsT OF .1T.--A New
Yorkeris very much annoyed because
his two boys have read so9 many In.
dian stories that they nave gone wild
with anxiety to play Indian, to go
out on the prairie hunting for the
real noble red men. The man was
taking nap after dinner in. his easy
chair, when he was awakened by an
alarming noise and a strange sensao
ton in his head. He jumped up
suddenly, and found that one Of his
boys, dressed in red table cloth,
and his face decorated with blue paint,
was trying to scalp his father; with a
carving knife, while the other boy,
attired in a blanket shawl and roos-
ter feather, fourished a hatchet and
emitted war whoops from behind a
thicket composed Of two chairs and
a card table. The man decided to
put a stop to this kind of thing. SO
next day, while the boys were play
ing with bows and arrows in the gar
den,. he dressed himself in an Indian
costume, aud jumped over the fence
with wild, unearthly yell, for the
purpose Of frightening those children.
The Oldest boy. however, stood bis
ground, and drawing an arrow to the
head, in which was inserted a ten
penny nail, he buried it in the chief
tain leg before he took to flight.
That night the father walked up
stairs on a crutch, and Aogged the
family all around before he sent them
to bed. He is thinking now Of some
other way to effect cure of the san
culinary disposition Of his offspring.

A MULIsn JoKER.-A mule in
Memphis is supposed to have pro-
pensity for practical jokes. Being
attached to a street car, he became
perfectly inmovable. All the men
in the car got out and were pushing
it with all their might, when Mr..
Mule suddenly dashed off at full
speed, leaving them all sprawling in
the mud. They will not be so ready
next time to help distressed driver.

WHO IS OLp.-A wise man will
never rust out. Aslong as. he Goan
move or breathe he will be doing
something for himself, for his neigh
Dor, or for posterity. Almost to the
last hour..o his life Washington was
at work; go were Howard, Young
and Newton. The vigor of their
lives never decayed. No rust mar
red their spirits. IT. is fooGsh''dea,
to suppose that we must lie down and
die because we are old. Who is old?
Not the man of energy; not the day
laborer in science, art or benevolence;
but he only who suffers his energies
to waste away, and the springs OF lie
to become motionless; on whose
hands the hours drag heavily, and to
whom all things wear the garb OF
gloor. "Is he old ?". should not be
asked, but is he active p "Can he
breathe freely and move with agility Z?
There are scores of grey-headed men
we should prefer in an important en-,
terprise, to young men who fear and
trcmble at approaching shadows and
turn pale at q harsh word or a frown
as at a lion in their path.

Coop MANNERs.-If good manners
are not to die out among US, rever-
ence must be restored. The old men
must be honored, the weak must be
considered, the illustrious must be
deferred to, and, most Of all, women
must be respected. Women have the
matter in their own hands. They
can compel men to be we'll hammered,
and men who know how to behave
with politeness to women will end
by behaving with politeness to each
other Hauteur always implies want
of consideration for others, and is
therefore no part of politeness, save
when indeed an impertinence has to
be quietly but effectively resented.
If we were asked to name the word
which embodies female politeness we
should name "graciousness." Wo-
men should be gracious; graciousncss
is their happy medium between cold
ness and familiarity as self-respect
is that of men between arrogance
and downright rudeness. Probably
there can be no true politeness where
there is no humility, either real or
well assumed. In a self-making age
we cannot be surprised at meeting
with 80 much self assertion and 50
much aggressiveness. We can but
wait for the time when the process
will be complete, anu the individual
will be well-bred enough once more
to recognize his own insignifcance.-

PUNISHMENT OF S1LENcE.-Mr. James Greenwood has published @ frightful &C., count of the silent system, which is in op- eration at the Holloway Model Prison in London:
 It is an offence for Q prisoner to speak one word, and he is never addressed ex- cept in whispers, so that he may be in prison two years without hearing the nat ural sound of the human voice. The eff feet of this is so terrible on the mind that prisoners will speak out in despera tion, at the risk of any punishment, rath- CT than endure that horrible silence.
 The prisoners never see one another, but remain in perpetual solitude. One poor wretch, driven to desperation by nine months solitude and silence, reck- lersly broke out, in Mir. Greenwoods presence, "For Gods sake, Governor, put me in another cell. Put me somewhere else. I have counted the bricks in the cell am till my eyes ache" .s
 The request of the tortured wretch was refused.
 There is fine hole in each cell, and as the wardens wear shoes of India rubber soIes. the prisoners can never be sure of being alone.
 Those condemned to the treadmill have to ascend twelve hundred steps every al- ternate twenty minutes for six hours. And this in place so hot and close that prisoners often lose in precipitation three stone in as many months. ~-t-s- rUAH Every day the prisoners are taken to chapel so arranged that they can see no one save the chaplain, and hlm only through an iron grating. And thus is the order of devotion observed. War dens are constantly on the watch, lest for single instant they, through the whole of the service, depart from the rigid rule of ''eyes right" They must look stead, lastly at the preacher; must raise and lower their prayer-book with the elbows squared. and all at once, like soldiers at drill They may not scrape their feet without having afterward to explain the movement. They Scarcely wink an eye or sigh without danger of rebuke or pun ishment. God help them, poor wretches. A Chicago paper tells story of real life: ''Recause she did not have boiled cabbage for dinner, last Thursday, Peo- ria husband wouldn't speak to his wife all the rest of the day, stayed out all night, and took his meals downtown next day; and for the next week ke had boiled cabbage three times day. ,sssr .r.
