The Mole.

The mole is first-class engineer
His house under the ground Is con.
structed with just as much system as n
citadel or castle. There is q central
house, from which run several roads
there are galleries around 1t which con-
meet with the main portion by roads
far below the ground they have dug a
large hunting domain, with great
highway leading from the fortress
through it. Being very particular in
the rearing of its babies, 1t builds nur-
sery at somo distance from its citadel,
where II can educate them in quiet
There is plenty of room for them TO
play, in the numerous roads, crossing
each other al various angles. He bores
with his feet, the two fore feet being
shaped like hand, and scoops out the
dirt and throws it behind him as he adj
vances forward. His soft, velvet fur
does not edhere to dirt, and his very
tough skin prevents any sensitiveness
in rubbing against the sides Of the close
fitting hole he has bored. The mole
takes night walks In the garden after
snais, which he devours. He is thirs-
ty animal, aud constructs several tanks
to hold water IN his underground home.
Brighten him when he is at home, and
it Is said he will trot as fast as horse
over tho very long highways or gale
ries he has built in his subterranean re.
treat. He Injuries root crops and builds
up mounds in the meadow against the
farmers Oft repeated protests; but after
all, the mole is kind to his family, the
best Of fathers and very afrectonatc
husband he will defcEd them even at
the sacrifice Of his life, A splendid ex-
ample to the highest forms Of the ami
NAL kingdom.

A Merchant on Farming.


The following is an extract from On

at has been my lot as an active u,er.
chant, 10 mingle with meu in almost
every station Of society. In many ofthc
nations of Europe and l am convinced
that no class In any country OF tho
world IL so thoroughly Independent,
possesses so many real comforts, and
have so little cause Of aud discomfort
connected with vocation. as the farmers
Of America. Always su honorable
pursuit, farming Is remunerative when
properly prosecuted aud as a general
rule, IL Is more universally successful
than any other calling. You may ques.
tion this statement until YOU carefully
consider II.
Let me say 10 our young men, DO not
envious of the merchant or the banker
of the bustling city but rather bear IN
mind that OF all who chase amer wealth
along the slippery paths OF commerce
aud finance, scarcely moro than one III
a hundred reaches opulence, few
more obtain competency In season FOR
old age, while nine.tenihs miserably
fail ere they have fairly started IN the
race, and for the most part, die poor.
Neither let our Young men be lurcd

mites, its tolls aud its rewards-~by tho

sions. Lawyers, physicians aud clergy.
men, nj The very best, lead laborlons
lives. The great body Of these are
mere drndges-hard.w working men, who
pursue the noiseless tenor Of their way,
and gain bare subsistence. IL any OF
them rise above the common mass. u III
usually the result of years OF intense
study and tireless application TO their
one pursuit, which, anlcss they are n
marvel of coed luck. will surely under.
mine their health, and very likely afford
nothing to leave TO their heirs except
that professional fame which Is among
the most cvnncscent Of earthly possess
sions Labor throughout the universe,
is the established order Of things.
The successful farmers must observe,
study and try. Like all other pursuits,
he gains by what he does with eve,
brain and hand. He must not only &C.
cumulate facts with care, but trace them
TO their original sources, examine their
relations to other facts, and then skilful-
ly apply them to tho particular case
before him. Ilc must never forget that
his avoeation Is an art and science, ant,
like other arts and sciences is governed
by the law of progress. Alas, how

Murder in Monroe County.

Tie Sweetwater Enterprise Of last
week contained the following account
of q murder. The unfortunate woman
referred to was at this place week or
two ago in mental condition which
rendered her unfit TO be at large and an
unwelcome visitor at airy. ones door al.
though she was given food and shelter
on several occasions by some of our citi-
zens. She was raised in Monroe county
by family named Garden, and claim
ed that she had relatives living in Talla-
dega county, Alabama.
"A most shocking death occurred at
Madisonville on Saturday night last. 1t
will be remembered that about q week
or ten days ago, there was to be seen a
crazy or idotic woman Oh our streets,
ragged and almost naked. She was n
pitiful looking object. MS we understand,
and efforts were made to get the officers
of the law TO do something with her, but
nothing was done. She lay around here
for several days, and at last left and
went 10 Athens. We learn that the au-
ihorities there took her up, and, upon
finding that she was Monroe county
woman, tied and sent her in buggy to
Madisonville, on Thursday last. We
learn the authorities there refused to re-
ceive or make any disposition OF her,
consequently she was turned loose to
shift for herself.
She went 10 house two or three miles
from town, in which lived some women
of ill-rcpute, and asked TO stay all night,
She was refused admission into the
house, whereupon she remarked that she
had stayed with more respectable pco.
pie than they were. At this tho woman
look oflcnse, and slapped her on the
check with one hand. and with a large
knife in the other, stabbed herr IN the sto-
mach, when she fell oxclaiming, "you
have killed me-"
She was conveyed back to Madison
Vile, where she died from the effects OF
the wound on Saturday night.
The woman who committed tho nm
mcrcirul and brutal crime, as we learn,
was arrested, and upon an investigation
Of The cnse she was bound over 10 an.
swer at the next term OF the Circuit
Court.
