sea, startled him; and us he knelt to
peer over the cliff, he dimly made
out the form of large, totally dis
mantled vessel, from which the roll of
drums was proceeding being driven
bows on towards the shore; but to his
horror she was apparently being steer
ed, as far as it lay in the helmans
power straight for the reef, instead of
for the opening lower down. Look
farther, he saw at once the explana-
ton of the fatal error: the light was
shining brightly, but not above the
haven of safety. Over the deadly
reef cleaned the treacherous beacon,
and on came the ill-fated vessel.
Full of horror at the mysterious oc-
currence, he hastened down towards
the lantern; but before he could get
within hail there was grinding
crash, shrek, and all was still.
Then he came to us-hOw, he knew
not, for it was a considerable way, and
he was almost paralyzed with fear.
Next morning the fragments of a
great wreck strewed the shore for
miles, and great number of bodies,
evidently sailors from an English
man-of-war, were thrown up on many
parts of the coast. AS for the stran-
ger, he was seen no more. What aw-
ful secret the shadow of that night
concealed will never be known to
mortal man; but Madeline told me
in an awe-stricken voice, that not a
soul had dared to approach that part
of the cliff upon the 10Th of August for
their very lives, within the memory
of the oldest inhabitant. 1t was an
accursed day; it was an accursed spot;
and 7, the Englishman, had first dar-
ed to venture-with what result?
This she would ask me, and cross her.
self with religious fervor when she
did so. The secret, whatever it was
and it was dark one of by-gone ages,
lay between that man on the cliff, and
the captain of the ill-starred vessel.
What it may have been that provoked
such a diabolical revenge, l cannot
tell, though it is mystery which one
would fain unravel.

OAKLAND, July II, 1872
Herewith certify that Miss Josephine Lind
ley has been student in my department of
the University for five consecutive terms, viz:
from September, 1870, to April Sd, 1872. During
and the German languages, obtaining always
the highest marks for proficiency and attend
ance, her average credit mark for five terms
being 81 per cent.
On entering the University, Miss Lindley
possessed already such knowledge of the
French and Spanish idioms as to be able to
speak them with ease, fuency, correctness,
and pure pronunciation.
She may now be considered thoroughly IA
miliaI with the theory and philosophy, as well
as with the application of these two tongues;
apd she may safely be recommended as a can
didate of great promise, for teaching the
French and Spanish languages.

Advantages Of Lupeh.

Many farmers make mistakes in not
lunehing their work hands, especially
in the long days of summer. Often
breakfast is taken at past or 6 O'Clock,
and they go out in the field with a jug
of water until noon. 1t is too long to
60 without refreshment, where man,
or especially a growing boy, is hard at
work. 1t is ruinous to health. A
working man gets hungry and thirsty,
and win often drink too much water,
and not very cool wather either, that
has been in a jug or wooden keg for
hours. Consequently he will get SO
weak and faint that very little dinner
can be taken. The result is that not
infrequently there is clay up" in the
afternoon, whether work is pushing or
not. 1t would be to the interest both
of the farmers and hands to take good
lunch about 10 O'Clock; also at 4 in the
afternoon, where supper is taken at 5
or half past five. Where lunch is ta-
ken, work hands viii not shirk, but win
work willingly until quitting time. Be-
sides, If they are well provided with
''bread and dinner" there will be less
craving for strong drink.

Sermon to Young Ladies.

Ladies-caged birds of beautiful
plumage but sickly looks-pale pets OF
the parlor, who vegetate in unhealthy
atmosphere, like the potato germina-
ting in dark cellar, why do you 60
into the open air and warm sunshine,
and add lustre to your eyes, and vigor
to your frames? Take exercise; run
up the hill for wager, and down again
for fun; roam the fields, and climb the
fences, leap the bitches, wade the
brooks, and, after q day of exhilarating
exercises and unrestricted liberty, go
home with an appetite acquired by
healthy enjoyment. The beautiful and
blooming young lady-rosy-cheeked
and bright-eyed-who can darn stock
ing, mend her own dress, command a
re- giment of pots and kettles, feed the
pigs, milk the cows, and be the lady
when required, is a girl tina: young men
are in quest of for wife. But your
.pining, wasp-waisted, doll-dressed, con-
sumption-mortgaged, music-murdering,
novel-devouring, daughters of fashion
and illness, you are no more fit for mat
rimony than pullet is to look after a
brood of fourteen chickens. The truth
is, my dear girls, you want less fash
ionable restraint and more liberty of
action; more kitchen and less parlor;
more leg exercise and less sofa; more
pudding and less piano; more frank
ness and less modesty. Loosen your
waist-strings, and breathe the pure at
mosphere, and become something as
nature designed.

To Our Subscriber.

According to the agreement entered
into between the publishers Of the Far
mer and REPrBIIcAS, we cannot send
papers after this date to any one who is
not paid up beyond the 1st of July.
The time of most of our subscribers
expires on the 25th Of August. All
those who have not credit up to that
time 1873, had better send in payment
at once, and save the time and trouble
of taking their names on the list and
putting them on again. We have adop-
ted this method for self-defence simply.
There are many who will take q paper
from year to year, without the least idea
of ever paying for it. We cannot al.
ways know who these parties are until
too late. By adopting the cash in ad-
vance system, which is becoming al
most universal among our newspaper
theirs publishe are enabled
to make better paper, as they thus
know just what to depend on, and are
not obliged to spend half their time in
collecting money, which time ought to
be spent in preparing matter for their
readers. We are glad to know that the
great majority Of our readers do pay
in advance, and think it is the only
right way, 1t is all habit. 1t is just as
easy to pay in advance, as it is at the
end Of the year. Only get started once,
and all win move of smoothly. As
we stated before, all those who have
not paid in advance beyond this date,
viii be dropped from the list, till such
payment be made. Look at your tabs
and see what it says. 1t will tell you |
he time to which you have paid, and
1t such time your paper will stop un-
ess you renew your subscription.

ADVANCE PAYMENT.

The credit system in the newspaper
business scatters small sums of money,
aggregating large amount to each
publisher, over vast extent of country,
rendering collection from tardy debtors
next to impossible and is therefore pro-
ductive of great loss to publishers.
Paper, ink, labor and all other sources
of expenditures in newspaper offices
require cash.
Better papers can be published when
paid for In advance than when the pro-
prietors are pressed for money to meet
the daily demands made upon them.
There Is little doubt that a law Of
Congress will, in few months, require
postage to be paid on all papers sent
through the mails, and that it must be
paid in advance by the publishers.
In view of the foregoing, and other
considerations which it is not deemed
necessary to enumerate, the under
signed, publishers of the Holmes Coun-
ty REPUBLICAN and Holmes County Far
nier, agree to adopt the pay-in-adyance
system, to send no papers from their
respective offices from and after the
FIRST DAT OF JULY NEXT,
unless the same be paid for in advance.

age.
She was buried on Sunday afternoon

they have since been living.

Origin Of Penny Postage.

An English lecturer recently told his
audience that Mr.. Rowland Hill saw a
poor woman whose husband was away,
look earnestly at the outside of letter
from him and then Tileeline to take it,
as the postage was too great. He ex-
pressed his sympathy, but when the
postman was gone she explained that
the letter was all outside; her husband
and she had agreed on signs and tokens
to be conveyed by lines and dots and
variations of the address, so that she
could thus learn without fee that he
was well or i'll, was coming soon, or
wished her to come to him, or would
send her money next week, and so on.
The future reformer thought it a pity
the poor should be driven to such shifts
and accordingly preached penny post
age. This, the lecturer asserted, was
the origin of cheap postage.

We are in ret eipt of the Pittsburg
Peoples Monthly (illustrated), for June.
This number keeps fully up, in the ex-
cellence of its illustrations and the va
riety of its reading matter, with those
which have gone before. A new serial
called "Scarlet," is commenced and
many original contributions from wri-
ters of repute promised. June begins
this monthly's third year. The publi-
cation of an illustrated 16-page paper
out West, was rather hazardous en-
terprise, but we are glad to know that
the venture is successful one. The
circulation is over double that of last
year, and it bears on every page the
impress of prosperity. With its beau
tiful illustrations for the home; its fine
tinted paper; its "HOusehold'' and
aBoys and Girls y departments, wedoR't
know a paper in the country, which
surpasses it In elegant appearance, or
attractiveness. 1t now gives sway to
every subscriber very choice and rich
chrome, or 24x30 inch engraving. The
fact that 1t has over one thousand min
isters on its lists, should be a sufficient
guarantee to families that, as paper
for the home, it is arrayed on the side
of virtue, purity, and morality. Price
