OUR DUTIES.

OUR DUTIES.
Sisters, have read with interest
Tho ideas Of one and all,
On the subject OF tour duties"
And although I'm very small
In the world called "litorary,"
I should like to add my mite
To the evidence that's gathered,
Whether am wrong or right.
"Circumstances alter cases."
Is an adago old and true;
What is duty for another
May not be for me and you;
Each must use their own best judgment
AS TO what they ought TO do
In their sphere, as wives of farmers,
And as women, good and true.
If tho fields were broad and fertile,
With slook herds Of lowing kline,
And no mortgage to cucumber,
1 could say, all this is mlne,
should never think it duty
To rake hay, or fecd the swine,
For such chores, though women do them,
Belong in the "menfOlks' line.n
but II, like the Western printer,
Not cent my pockets swell,
And like him, tho lucky fellow,
Hold my own extremely we'll,
should feel was not helping
TO work out our Makers plan,
Whom he first created woman
For q holpmeet unto man,
If | sat me down and hired
Things done, could do mysolfj
For 1t takes to board and pay one,
Something from our worldly pelf.
But, there's other things besides those
That I've mentioned, that would mako
A great difference in our duties,
And a glance I'll of them take.
Ifaround tho hearth were gathered
Little ones, to teach and guido
In tho paths of truth and honor,
That should be our greatest pride.
For the duties of mother
Are as great as Of the wife
Children need the wisest counsel,
For 1t makes or mars their lie.
There's no duty in the farmhouse,
There's no labor that is wrought,
That requires tho time and patience
OF the lessons that are taught
To the children, as they cluster
In the twilight, round the hearth
OF our homes, for here their future
Aspirations have their birth.
So, Of all our many duties,
This should como before the rest.
We should strive to have our children
Rank among the very best.
For the welfare of the nation,
And its future veal or woe,
Will depend upon their training,
And upon the seed VIC sow.
There are duties to our neighbors;
To tho needy, suffering ones.
These must all receive attention
AS they in our life-work come.
Every deed of love and kindness,
Every time wo lend hand
To relieve tho woes Of others,
Nearer brings the better land.
We need never ask another
What belongs to US to do.
Conscience, aided by our judgment,
Is tho best for mo and you.
Whilo for one it might be duty
To feod swine, and rake tho hay,
Duty, for those all about them,
Would lie in q different way.
Mover fear the speech of people,
Ifyour conscience says ego on"
Each has a peculiar mission
In this world, that must be done.
If our lots to toll and labor,
Let us think it no disgrace;
Labor is blessing given
To the the favor'd Of our race.

Look Out For Bogus Tickets I!

We warn Republicans everywhere that
the opposition are preparing to use every
means, however dishonest, to defeat the
will of the people ut the election next
week. Chief among these means will be
the printing and circulation of bogus
tickets. When the Anti Monopoly coun-
ty ticket was nominated, we warned the
people that one or two of the names were
intended for trading capital, to be used as
was one of their nominees last year. In
proof of this we are informed that the
Consercat re is printing Republican tick
cts with the county nominations blank
and others with the names of>thc Anti
Monopoly candidates inserted We have
information also that Il concerted effort
will be made to flood the whole district
with spurious tickets Republicans, be

the Republican County Committee They
will find it 4 calm, fair and tt thful re-
view of Anti Monopoly administration in
this county for the past eight and half
months, showing how hollow and insin-
cerc was the howl for reform set up by
the leaders of that party last year, and al
SO how well and honestly the Republicans
have always managed the affairs of the
county. The address, though a model of
fairness and candor, shows up some of
last years soouters for reform and
economy" in not the most enviable
light. Nursing Of offices so ms 10 make
them pay the largest sum possible to the
pocket of the incumbent, and bowling
around the county about low salaries for
county officers, and then protesting against
the pruning knife being applied to the
particular office held by the bowler, are
not pretty traits in Performers.

Suicide in JofTerson Township.

A correspondent at Brandon sends us
the following particulars of tragedy.
which occurred in Jefferson township, in
this county, on Monday of this week:
The body of Stephen Adams, farmer
and resident of Jefferson township. was
found in small creek on his own farm
on the afternoon Of the 9th of Oct. 1t
appears from the evidence adduced. that
he came to his death by his own deliher-
ate act. \ paper was found in his coat
pocket, containing the following writing,
as near rs can be made out:

brothers and sisters. God bless nv little
children and my woman, for cant
work has ruined me and
my family
The writing was on sheet of coarse
brown paper that had been used rs an
iron holder by the family. A pencil was
found in his pants pocket, and recognized
rs the one kept in the sewing machine
drawer. His coat, hat and boots, were
on the bank about six feet from his body.
1t was not known that he had any diff
Guilty with any one, and the only reason
that can be assigned for the act, is that
indicated in the writing. Yet there
seems to be nothing that should give
great trouble, for he was in Gocl ci."um-
stances, and was not Cramped i'll his
financial matters, so far as is known.
The name in the paper found on the
body of Mr.. Adams, which appears above
in blank is that of one of our most prom
inent citizens. A pretty thorough invcs-
tigation, and evidence brought TO our no.
tice convinccs us that the charge made
against him by the suicide, was but the
Authorizations of crazed brain. The
gentleman in question sold some land to
Mr.. Adams, in August, upon which the
latter paid y portion down, and was to
pay the balance Oct. LIST. On that day e
appeared and paid a further instalment,
but no. the whole At his own request
he was freely granted an extension for
one month, and thus the matter stool at
the time of the melancholy event above
related. All this conversation between
the parties was in the presence of wit
ncsscs who testify that the transaction
was in every way an open and honorable
one, and that Mr.. Adams seemed to be
perfect satisfied with it Indeed he eX.
pressed to Mr.. John Johnson of Branden,
his opinion that the gentleman was deal
ing with him fairly, only last Friday,
three days before his rash act of self
murder Under these circumstances VIC
have not thought ii proper to give unnec-
essary publicity to the name of the party
mentioned.

The North Caro- ininns.

These colored singers were greeted with
full and appreciativc audience at the
Methodist Church, ON Wednesday eve
ming. Their style of singing was unique
and pleasing. Entirely without musical
cultivation, their songs for the most part
their own composition, if composition it
may be called, they illustrated by their
perfect harmony and rhythm, the musical
tastes and capabilities which are innate in
their race. Some of the choruscs were
really grand and the fcrvor and abandon
with which they were executed added
greatly to their effect. "Aunty" Newton
brought down the house with her ener-
getic style of singing and her realization
of the good old comfortable, traditional
"aunty," of the slavery regime, while
other members of the company came in
for their share of applause for their excel
lent singing.

Stop That Cough

Man. persons hesitate to try a remedy
for disease, on account of the expense,
connected with the uncertainty of its ben
ctitting them; while, at The same time, had
they confidence in that remedy, the ex-

this fact in view, We make the following
proposition: Any person suffering with
Il cold, cough or sore throat, that will call
at p. Tabor & Sons store and purchase a
be tile of EIalc's Cough Cordial, use one
half of 1t, and if they then conclude that
it is doing them no good, they can return
