l AN DYING.

The following beautiful poem we copy
from the Memphis Bulletin. 1t is rare
ly we find such contributions In the
columns of newspaper. 1t Is sweetly,
beautifully sad:
Raise my pillow, husband, dearest.
Faint and fainter comes my breath;
And these shadows stealing slowly,
Must, l know, be those Of death.
Sit down close beside me, darling,
Let me clasp your warm, strong hand,
Yours that ever has sustained me,
To the borders of this land.
For your God and mine--our Father
Then shall ever lead me on
While upon u throne eternal, a.,-
Sits His loved and holy Son;
I've had visions and been dreaming
Der the past of Joy and pain,
Year by year I've wandered backward,
IT'LL was child again.
Dreams of girlhood and the moment
When / stood your wife and bride,
How my heart thrilled with Loves tri-
umph, -
In that hour of woman's pride.
Dreams of thee and all the earth-chords
Firmly twined about my heart
Oh! the bitter, burning anguish,
When first knew that we must part.
1t has passed-and God has promised
All thy footsteps to attend!
He that's more than friend or brother,
He'll be with you to the end.
There's no shadow DER the portals,
Leading to my heavenly home
Christ has promised life immortal,
And tits He that bids me come.
When life's trials wait around thee,
And its chilling pillows swell; !
Thou'lt thank Heaven that am spared
then
TLo ut then feel that all is WELL
Bring our boys unto my bedside;
, My last blessing let them keep
But they're sleeping-do not wake them;
They'll learn soon enough to weep.
Tell them often of their mother,
Kiss them for me when they wake; !
Lead them gently in life's pathway,
Love them doubly for my sake.
Clasp my hand still closer, darling,
This, the last night of my life,
For tomorrow I shall never
Answer when you call me "wife.'
Fare thee well, my noble husband,
Faint not meath the chast'ning rod
Throw your strong arm 'round ouI
children;
Keep them close to thee and God.

Cows and Calves.

Much has been said and written
about the best treatment Of calves,
and so many have advised their inns.
mediate removal, that We this
spring ventured to try it. Out Of
four 50 treated (al! heifers, worth
500 each when they we're drop
ped) one died before it was week
old, another is securing so badly
that we have but little hope of its
recovery, and a third is ailing and
weakly. We have had quite enough
of this treatment, and shall return
to the custom O. leaving all calves
with their mothers until they are
at least three days DID,. and longer
if necessary to start them fairly and
vigorously on the road of life, a
practice which has hitherto pro-
duced the most satisfactory results.
I have also experimental until I
have regretted ton another theo-
|ry of some modern breeders of Jer-
sey, that is, to milk the cows quite
up to the time of calving, if posi-
BILE. In every case, I am convinced
that real and probably permanent
injury has resulted. The idea ad-
vanced was that q Jersey cow has
no other purpose but to bring
calves and to produce milk, and
that she should be trained to the
fullest and most persistent exercise
af the lacteal function. The sub
|ject has been presented to me so
long and SO persuasively, and by
men whose opinion seemed so well
worthy of respect, that I had come
to more than half believe it, and
have tried the experiment this
spring with several animals. In
every case there has been trouble
with the udder, and thus far the
flow of milk is less than it was
after the previous calving. The
calves have not been materially
affected by it, but the mothers have
been III every instance. Hereafter,
we shall endeavor to dry off all the
cows a month before calving. Up
to that time it is well to keep the
milk flowing (f only pint a day.,
and with Jerseys it is almost always
easy to do this; but after that the
milking should cease, and the udder
should be allowed to become entire
ly empty of milk preparatory to
the commencement Of it's new Pc
riod of activity-"springing' regu-
larly and naturally, and having no
trace of the old love when it begins
with the new.-Amer1can Ag'7cul.

VOLUME. XXI---N:O. N.
AUDITORS.

tits well known that about q
month ago Comptroller General
Hoge called a meeting, or conven-
tion, of all the county auditors Of
the State. The object of that meet
ing was, by mutual consultation,
counsel, and comparing notes, to
introduce uniform system il tie
business of the various county au-
ditors. Heretofore, there had ex-
listed a great variety of styles Of do
ing business in these offices. I. in
many cases there was not Tint close
attention to the specissssc Sc require
ments Of the law that there should
be, and some Of the auditors had
,nade5no report to. the comptolle
general. There were many other
things which needed revision and
correction, to secure the most eff.
fective discipline, if we may use
the word, and administration. The
convention was called, and was at
tended by all the auditors Of the
State, except two, who were illat the
time. Sufficient time has ], now
elapsed to show the wisdom Of such
a movement. The auditors were
benefited by consultation. A uni
form sytem has been introduced, q
brief, simple and complete style Of
reports has been adopted, and the
methods OF getting at the taxable.
property has been greatly improved.
The result is, that all the county
auditors have given in. reports to
the comptr"ller-general, except.
two; they are far better reports
than were formerly made; besides,
the auditors of most counties are
reporting considerable increase in
property. In some counties the In
crease in the landed property return-
ed this year is fully twenty per cent.
on the last assessment. This is q
very important matter. There lis
no good reason why every fifth man
should escape bearing his share of
the burden of the Government.
Another thing will result from this !
finding Of such large quantities Of
property which has remained un-
taxed for several years. The un-
paid taxes on that property will be
due, and will in good measure re-
store the deficiencies from the pre-.
vious tax levies.- Union-H Herald.

ADDRESS

At the Laying Of the Cornerstone Of
the New College Building Of the Viii
liamston Female College, on the 27tl'
August 1873, by W. Christie Benet
President of Cokesbury Female College,
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1873-09-03

We have had the pleasure of ex-
aiming the manuscript of this
able and eloquent address, which
fully sustains the reputation of the
author as a gentleman of fine tai
ents and scholarship, and regret
that we can find room only for the
conclusion, in which he discusses
the popular fa'lacies which prove
to be obstacles in the way of female
education:
/. One fallacy is a too limited
conception of woman's capacity for
acquiring a literary education. Is
there one man in hundred that
does woman justice i'll his estimate
of her mental parts? Ladies, it
behooves us of the sterner sex all
to cry, "Peceavimus, peccauimus!!'
and to crave forgiveness; and sure
ly you will readily grant it, for the
truth must be told that woman has
not done herself justice either, and
man has valued woman in this
respect by just that standard of
value put upon woman by herself.
The generally received opinion-if
not actually expressed,,at least. 2ir-
tually acquiesced in-is that wuman's
Intellectual powers are inferior to
those of man. Such an opinion
might have been admirable seventy
years ago, but in view Of what wo-
man has done in that interval,
without having entered the courts
of a University, and in spite Of un-
ceasing and bitter opposition. he is
a bold man who would dare to en-
endorse such an opinion now mot
bold man-rather let me call him
by his proper name, an ignoramus.
There is no field in the world OF
literature, science, and art, in which
wcman's fair hand has not labored
and gathered goodly fruit; nay,
more, she has beautified and i'm
proved not a few of these fields. -
In letter-writing, woman has prov
ed herself the superior of man. In
poetry, in song, and in drama, wo'
man has left shining proofs that
not on manly shoulders only does
the mantle of the muses. fall. In
history and travels woman has
earned a distinguished place. When
Sir Samuel Baker dared the dan
gers of the African desert and jun
gle his faithful wife went with him
Among writer's on divinity, too
Mrs. Hannah More occupies al
honorable rank, while the name il
legion Of those pious women who
have gone to distant lands as mis-
sionaries. Even the giddy heights
and abysmal depths Of science have
been gauged by woman, and onl,
a few mouths ago a lady died leav
ling behind her few men that wer,
her equals in astronomy, The,
every one knows that the field o
fiction has US many female laborer
as male. And the laurel that uni
versal consent placed on the brow
of Sir Walter Scott was never il
danger being removed until
George Elliott showed that she, too
was among the prophets. Surely
if woman has done 30 much i
! spite of all her educational disad
vantages, we should see create
; things than these, were we to Civ
her the same facilities so Plentiful
afforded to- man. We believe VIC
man to be Of the same flesh an
blood as ourselves; let us, with
good grace, and before we be force

THE PARsoN's WIG-A worthy parson
had, as worried parsons often do, become
bald headed, thought it no harm to assist
nature in her tonsorial operations, procured
wig. His old-fashiened congregation was
greatly exercised thereby. Some thought
It worldly for parson to wear a wig at all,
while some thought the shape "horrid.
Others thought the hair should be shorter
in front, some at the sides, and some behind.
Finally, the good pastor invited the breth-
rem and sisters to meet him at the parson-
age When they were assembled, he hand
ed his wig to them to trim according to
their taste. One clipped it here. another
there, and another in a different place, until
the poor wig looked like anything but
head of hair. When handed back to the
parson he examined i carefully and then
gravely said: Brethren and sisters we
may safely worship this for it is the like
ness of nothing in the heavens above, on the
earth beneath, or the waters under the
EARTH"

The story comes to US, in an exchange
of a man supposed to have been murdered
five years ago. in Collamer, n. Y, who had
just come to light, having gone off his own
accord. A man had been tried for his muir.
der, had been convicted, and received SEN
tence of death, which was committed to i'm.
prisonmeut for life. Now, ofcourse he goes
free. But does not the State owe some
reparation to such man for the great
wrong it has unwittingly done him? Is not
the principle sound, that State, no less
than an individual, should so far as possible
make good the damage done by its own mis-
takes! The case of man turned loose af-
ter long imprisonment, which proves to
have been wholly undeserved, seems to con-
stitute claim for pecuniary damages which
the community has no right to evade. If I
accidentally break my neighbor's window,
must pay for it if the State accidentally y
brands a man as felon and shuts him up
in prison for years, why should it not pay
him? We do not see why such cases should
not be provided for by statute.

Leaf and Blade.

/ am lowly grass-blade,
A fair green leaf is she;
Her little futtering shadow
Falls daily over me.
She sits so high in sunshine,
/ am so low in shade,
/ do not think she ever
Has looked where / am laid.
She sings to merry music,
She frolics in the light;
The great moon plays the lover
With her through half the night.
The swift, sweet winds, they fatter
And WOO her all the day;
tremble lest the boldest
Should carry her away.
Only little grass-blade,
That dare not look so high;
Yet, o. not any love her
One-half so well as L.
NV little love-so happy!
Ny love-so proud and fair
Would she might dwell forever
In the sweet summer air.
But, ah the days will darken,
The pleasant skies will pail,
And pale, and parched, and broken,
My little love down fall:
And yet the thought most bitter
Is not that she must die,
But that ev'n death should bring her
To lie so low as I.

During the late war some Jokes were
cracked at the expense of the knowledge Of
geography possessed by Frenchman. A re-
cent case shows, however, that some i'm.
provement has been made. Two Partisan
bourgeois, of the true type, were lately ex-
changing the news Of the day on the Boule-
wards. The first one said, "The news from
Russia is terrible; twenty thousand people
have been burned by the fire of Vesuvius."
The second Partisan here exclaimed, with a
theatrical shudder, Why, that is truly hor-
rible, horrible! Who can have set it on
fire ?" The first one responded, at is
unknown as yet; but the Sultan will doubt
less inform HIMSELF and the miscreant
will suffer the full penalty of the law"

amusing scene on board the Louisiana mail
boat the other day. There was the usual
conglomeration of passengers in the cabin
Just before the boat landed; and amid the
general hubbub of conversation man re-

sat moodily and silently by the stove for
some time, sprang to his feet and exclaimed:
stranger, are You from New Jersey?"
9 Yes" And willin' to acknowledge it,"
" Yes, sir; proud ont" "Hurrah give us
your hand !" cried the old man, fairly dane
ing with exultation. "I'm from New Jer-
sey, too, but never felt like declaring it
afore. Shake! Pm an old man. I've
travelled long and far. I've been in every
city in the West-steamboated on the Ohio
and Misssissippi-been to Californy, over
the plains, and around the Horn !; took a
voyage once to Liverpool, and in all my
travels, hang me if this amt the first time
ever heer'd man acknowledge that he KUN
from New Jersey"
