Truth.

Strong in the goodness of his cause;
with his back to the throne of God and
his foot on the rock of truth, man
can stand against the world.
Truth, by whomsoever spoken, comes
from God; it is, in short, a divine es-
sence.
l have seldom known any one who
deserted the truth in trifes that could
be trusted in matters of Importance.
If Archimedes upon discovering of
a mathematical truth, was so ravished
that he cried out, ssI have found it, I
have found it'll" what pleasure must
the discovery of Divine truth give to
sanctifed soul.
1t is not enough that we swallow
truth; we must feed upon it, as insects
do on the leaf, till the whole heart,
colored by its qualities, shows it's food
in every fibre.
Truth is the band of union and the
basis of human happiness. Without
this virtue there is no reliance on Ian
guage, no confidence in friendship, no
security in promises and oaths.

The Peoples Friend.

It is susceptible of easy proof that
the Sewing Machine has been a great
er blessing to the masses of American
people than any invention of the pres
ent century. Nothing else has done SO
much to save the lives and health of
the wives and mothers, the patient,
overworked women of the land, who,
as class, most needed relief from the
burdens of everyday life. Every father
and husband fails in his duty if he
neglects to endow his home with such
a triumph of science as the Howe Sew
ing Machine. 1t is the cheapest and
best sewing machine ever offered
Call and see them, or take one on tri-
al from Mr.. JOSEPH L. BALLS, Port
Tobacco, who sells at New York prices
and on very easy terms. The South
ern people should bear in mind that
many machines are sold in the South
at an -adoance Of fifteen dollars over
New York prices.

Alone and Eleven O'clock

! | was sitting alone in the little back.
Iparlor, writing letter, all the rest Of
| the family in bed, when the clock struck
eleven. co." thought I, cit is growing
late, | will finish my letter in the morn
ing"
| Just then I heard a scratching noise,
which appeared to be between the shut
ter and the window panes. In vain
looked up, for / could see nothing, SO
after time I went on writing, saying
to myself, "Another line or two, and
then / will co.
Hardly had I put pen to paper be-
fore the noise returned. GA mouse"
said |, but on little consideration it
seemed to be very unlikely place for
a mouse. Again [ went on with my
letter, it was but for minute, for the
noise once more disturbed me.
| "Surely," said [, cit cannot be the
canary; hope it has not been left out
of its cage;;" so getting on a chair I
looked in the cageand found poor Jessy
at.the bottom with her head under her
wing. Again I took up my pen to
write little more Of my letter.
All at once the noise came louder
than before, and I really thought that
a mans hand on the outside was feel
| ing about, trying to unfasten the win
dow. Up jumped at once, unfasten
the outer door, and ran into the yard,
but no man was to be seen. [ looked
about the premises, and examined the
window without making any discovery;
SO, coming into the house again, I put
aside my Writing-desk and went to bed.
For full hour I lay awake, wonder
ling what it could possibly be that had
given me SO much trouble, and still
thinking that it must have been the
hand of a robber. Indeed, when was
in bed, I fancied that 1 yet heard the
noise. In the morning | again ponder
ed the matter over in my mind, but to
no purpose. It was altogether mystery
that / could not unravel. At last I
went TO Betty and asked her opinion.
go, sir, said she, it is nothing in the
world but the jessamine-tree, it always
does so when the wind blowsp
On examining the window again L
saw long, loose branch of the jessa-
mine rubbing up and down the panes,
and now and then tapping them, just
as the wind happened to blow. Out
of this jessamine bough had made a
mouse, a canary bird and the hand of
a robber. Really did feel ashamed
of myself.
Some good, however, may come out
Of this affair if my readers will learn
from it the folly of giving way to fool
ish fears and fancies, and the wisdom
of exercising a sound Judgment.
The only cure for our foolish fears
is confidence in our heavenly Father.
Who trusts in God may camly close his eyes
AS safe, when night and darkness round him rise,
AS though thousand armed men in rows
Were standing round and guarding his repose.

Railway Duties.

There are many passenger duties
which are not merely not obnoxious,
but are eminently proper; and yet how
many persons travel constantly by rail-
way without giving them thought.
By way of useful admonition, let us
specify few:
There is, first of all, the duty of not
pushing at the pay place, especially if
ladies chance to be in front of you.
There nextly is the duty of coming
there provided with the proper ready
meney, so as not to keep folks waiting
while you change fve-dollar bill.
There, moreover, is the duty Of alb
stention from piling up your hat boxes
and handbags and wraps in the UNI
brella net so as to risk their tumbling
on your neighbor's head.
There is the duty of not quarreling
about an open window, but of conced-
ing the command of it to the sitter
next it, facing toward the engine, who,
by long acknowledged justice, clearly
has the right.
There is the duty of obedience to the
law respecting trespass which prohib-
it's the removal of d coat or umbrella
marking the retention of a vacated
seat.
There is the duty of shutting the
door gently when you quit the traiu at
a waystation, and neither slamming it
with a bang nor leaving it wide open,
as is done by selfish and ungentlmanly
snobs.
There is the duty of sharing your
newspaper with any one who has none,
and offering first the leaders, and not
the outside sheet.
There is the duty ofnot putting your
dirty boots upon the cushions when
you wish to lay your legs up.
There is the duty of opening the car
door for any lady leaving or entering
the train, even at the risk of soiling
your new gloves.
There is reciprocally the duty on the
lady's part to smile her gratitude at
least, if she does not verbally express
/ it.

Things Worth Remembering.

A correspondent takes ground a.
gainst high managers for horses, for the
reason, as he says, that they irritate the
thorax and wind-pipe, and create ten
dency to heaves. His practice is to
feed from manger on level with the
feet, and not over twenty inches in
front of them. This enables the horse
to eat according to nature, and not af-
ter the manner of the giraffe.
Stove luster, when mixed with tur-
pentine and applied in the usual man
ner, is blacker, more glossy, and more
durable than when mixed with any
other liquid. The turpentine prevents
rust, and when put on an old rusty
stove, will make it look as well as new.
Cure for Founder. AS soon as the
horse is found to be stiff swab the legs
and feet with hot water so that the hand
cannot bear to touch it, but it must
not be so hot as to scald. After short
time the legs should be rubbed dry and
the horse gently exercised.
Franklin Hooker, of Cornwall, Vt,
who has been making some nicely cal
culated experiments as to the relative
merits of deep and shallow setting of
milk for butter-making, reports in fa
vor of the shallow pans. An expert
ment with the milk of nine COWS, even
ly divided, showed a difference of five
pounds of butter in favor of the shallow
pans.
Scrambled Eggs. Melt a tablespoon
full of butter in saucepan; beat the
yolks of six eggs few minutes; then
add to them six tablespoonfuls of milk
and a teaspoonful of salt; beat a little
longer and pour them into the melted
butter. When they thieken slightly,
pour in the whites unbeaten, and mix
them with the yolks carefully with a
fork, and serve on pieces of toast in a
hot dish, or if preferred, omit the bread.
The whites should not be beaten in
hard, only stirred with the fork enough
to mix slightly with the rest.
Canning Fruit. The philosophy of
canning fruit consits solely and simply
in preserving it from contact with the
atmosphere. In perfect vacuum, that
is, in space free from air, the most
perishable article will keep indefnite-
ly. But to do this perfectly is imprac-
ticable. We therefore boil the fruit a
short time to expel the air from it, place
it in a glass or tin cans, and while it is
hot and the can quite full, seal them
up air-tight. As the fruit or other
contents of the can cool and contract,
and the steam condenses into water, a
partial vacuum at least is procured,
and the articles keep better or worse as
this partial vacuum is nearer to or
further from perfect one. There is |
no work published that describes the
process. 1t is one to be learned by ex-
perience and practice. Mold is caus-
ed by the growth of fungus which
needs air and moisture for its support.

Keeping Sweet Potatoes.

North Carolina is famous for it's ex-
cellent potatoes, and in reply to que
.ry as to the best method of keeping
them over winter for seed the follow
ing spring, the north Carolina Agri-
culturist recommends that they be
gathered carefully; that is, when it is
a dry day, and take care not to bruise
them in handling them. Then store
them in bulk where they may be kept
dry, and at temperature of 40 to SO
degrees; 45 degrees is about right, and
the more uniform the temperature the
better. They must be kept dry as well
as warm. They should be put in bulk
where they are kept, and handled as
little as possible, being dug before the
ground freezes, though if the frost has
blackened the vines, it does not neces-
sarily harm the tubers. After the
sweating process is concluded, throw
over them dry loam, or in the South
they are covered slightly with the foli-
age of pines and then with about four
inches of earth, ventilation being left
until they cease sweating. But if you
insure them dryness and 45 degrees
warmth, and do not bruise them in
handling them, they may be kept as
well as Irish potatoes.

RYIA ND, OCTOBER II, 18
There is the duty of never eating

There is the duty of never eating
peppermint, or using scents or drinks
which have a nauseous odor.
There is the duty of abstaining from
bothering your neighbors with remarks
about the weather, or platitudinarian-
isms upon things in general.
There is the duty Of not snoring
when in company and pursuing night
journey.
And there is, finally, the duty of re-
membering that delays are dangerous,
especially on railways; and therefore
of never keeping the train waiting
while you tumble in your pocket for
your ticket, which you ought to have
in readiness to be produced at any mo-
ment.

The Three Friends,

Trust no friend before thou hast
tried him, for they abound more at
the festal board than at the prison
door.
Acertain man had three friends; two
of them he loved warmly; the other he
regarded with indifference, though that
one was the truest of his well-wishes.
The man was summoned before atribu-
nal, and though innocent, his accusers
were bitter against him.
"Who among you," said he, sswill go
with me and beariwitness for me? For
my accusers are bitter against me, and
the judge is displeased."
The first of his friends at once ex-
cused himself from accompanying him
on the plea of other business. The
second followed him to the door of the
tribunal; there he turned back and
went his way, through fear of the Of
Tended judge. The third, on whom he
relied the least, spoke for him, and
bore witness to his innocence, so that
the judge dismissed and rewarded him..
Man has three friends in this world;
how do they demean themselves toward
him in the hour of death, when God
calls him to judgment? His best be-
loved friend, gold, is the first to leave
him, and accompanies him not. His
kinsmen, accompany him to
the portal of the grave, and then turn.
back to their own houses. The third,
whom he is most neglectful of, is his
good works. they alone go with him
to the Judges trone; they stand be-
fore him and obtain mercy and grace.

A Quaker Printers Proverbs.

Never sendeth thou. an article for
publication without giving theeditor
thy name, for thy name oftentimes Sc
cures the publication to a worthless
article.
Thou shouldst never rap at the door
of printing office, for he that answer
eth the rap sneereth in his sleeves and
loseth time.
Never do thou loaf about, ask ques-
tions or knock down type, or the boys
will love you like they do shade trees
when thou leaveth.
Thou shouldst never read the copy
on the printers case, or the sharp and
hooked container thereof, or he may
knock thee down.
Never inquire thou of the editor for
the news, for behold it is his business
at the appointed time to give it to thee
without asking.
It is not right that thou shouldst
ask him who is the author of an arti-
Gle, for it is his duty to keep such
things unto himself.
When thou dost enter his office, take
heed unto thyself that thou dost not
lcok at what may be lying open and
concerneth thee not, for that is not
meet in sight of good breeding.
Neither examine thou the proof
sheet, for it is not ready to meet thine
eye that thou mayest understand.
Prefer thine own town paper to any
other, and subscribe for it Immediately.
Pay for it in advance, and it shall
be we'll with thee and thine.
