Having. Doing and Being.

In every society there are those who
derive their chief characteristic from
what they haze, who are always spoken
of in terms of reverence; and of whom
you would not be likely to think much,
but for the large account that stands on
the worlds ledger in their name. The
second and nobler class prove them
selves to be here, not that they may
hare, but tEat they may do; to them
life is a glorious labor they are seen
not to work that they may rest, but
only to rest that they may work. No
sooner do they look around them, with
the open eye of reason and faith, upon
the great field of the world, than they
perceive that it must be for them o
battle field; and they break up the
tents of ease, and advance to the dan
gers of lonely enterprise, and the con-
fiict with splendid wrore. But there
is life higher than either of these.
The sanity is beyond the heroic mind.
To get good is animal to do good is
human to be good is divine. The true
use of q mans possession is TO help his
work and the best end of all his worf
is to show what he is. The noblest
workers of our world bequeath us moth
ing SO great as the image of themselves
Their task. be it ever so glorious, is his
torical and transient the majesty OF
their spirit is essential and eternal.
While to some God gives it to show
themselves through their work, to
others he assigns it to show themselves
without even the opportunity of work.
He sends them transparent into the
world and leaves us nothing to gather
and inter. -Mdrtinedu

NoN-PoIsoNoUs FLY PAPER-Put one
pound quassia wood in five pounds wa

place. The decoction is then boiled
down to about two pounds. The wood
is afterward put in two pounds fresh
water and boiled down to one pound.
The two decoctions are mixed, one-half
to three-fourths pound sugar added
and paper passed through it, drained
and hung on lines to dry. Ordinary
unsized plotting paper is usually en-

hundreds of pounds thus last year, and
they kept perfectly until the middle of

In Sweden strong cloth is manufac-
tured from hop stalks. The stalks are
gathered in autumn, and soaked in wa
ter during the whole winter. The ma
terial is then dried In an oven and
woven as flax. The buds or hops can
be used as an esculent, and when boiled
will do as a substitute for asparagus.
The tendrlls, when young, may be used

THE project to construct tunnel be-
tween France and England is assuming
a practical phase. The capitalists and
engineers embarked in this gigantic
enterprise demand concession of thir-
ty years instead of the ninety-nine
usually accorded to railway companies,
and ask for neither guarantee nor graut.
Further, they are ready to advance q
sum of "a, 200, COO for preliminary in
designations. The project in question
consists in the immerging of duct on
the English and French coasts, and the
boring of two long galleries from each
side. Of the result of the enterprise,
says the Journal de Calais, there can
be no doubt.

Patching Hogs.

Hogs intended for fattening should
be pushed now. A pound of corn now
will lay on more fat than pound and a
half in cold weather. Besides, early
pork pays better usually than that
made in winter. The butchers want
light pigs, and will pay fairly for them.
Give the swine plenty of water and
shade, but not much range.

FARM AND HOME.


1t is a good plan to apply salt to
Canada thistles growing in pastures.
The thistles should be cut in time to
prevent seeding. All the salt allowed
to the stock In the pastures should be
placed on the thistles-a small handful
to each. Sheep thus tempted will en-
tirely destroy the weeds.-sPochester

Pastures.

Pastures
One of the great advantages of nat
ural pastures is. there are varieties fol-
lowing each other, SO that there Is al
ways a profusion of young and tempt
ing heritage for all kinds Of animals ;
then another great desideratum is gained
by q crop always sure without any
blowing or cultivation, or seed ard
this saving of labor and wearing of i'm
plements is important in this country
of dear manual help. America might
be very great sheep country, and m
stead of buying wool, might sell it to
bring In more than all the corn does,
and it is positively certain, if half the
land now in cultivation was put into
grass, and brought up to proper state
of fertility, and the half of all new land
was held iuviolable, the moiety which
was under cultivation for the growth OF
corn and grain would produce more
than double per acre on account OF the
more careful working of the soil and
the increased quantity of manure OBJ
tainable through the keeping OF so
much more live stock for when pas
lures and mowings have become once
established on good fertile ground, 1t
Is a wonderful assistance to the arabic
land to have an equal quantity of grass
land on the farm.-ROchesser Democrat.

Horses at Rest:

There is no reason for anxiety from
the fact that horse does not lie down
when he sleeps. 1t is natural to many
horses to sleep on their feet, and nc
doubt it is good thing that they can
do so. A hard worked horse can catch
many a nap while stopping for a short
rest, if he is not dependent upon lying
down. Nevertheless, it is good for a
horse to lie down at night, and there is
no better way of inducing him to do SO
than to give him a clean, dry bed in a
roomy stall. A horse that has ever lain
down in a narrow stall, and had trouble
in getting up, will surely, if he is an in
teligent animal, be cautious about SUBJ
jecting himself to like embarrassment
a second time. A change of stall, too,
is very likely to effect change in
habit, especially if any accident has
happened to him in his old stall.

Sowing Plaster.


A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman writes: Recently I saw a
plan of sowing this fertilizer, newto me,
that was efficient and very expedi-
tious. Several bushels were placed in
the rear end of wagon box the sower
sitting on a stool or what is easier,
placing his knees In the plaster, and
facing the rear end of the box. As the
team moves along, about ten feet from
the fence, the sower fills his right hand
with plaster, throws it quickly to the
left; as the body moves to the right,
fills the left hand with plaster and hurls
it to the right, and continues thus alter
nately. An active boy can by this plan
SOW more plaster in half day than two
strong men; and with few moments
practice SOW it equally as even. If the
ground is quite hard it will answer to
SOW plaster in this way on spring sown
grain but it is especially recommended
for clover ground. A strip of twenty
feet in width is sown at each passage
across the field In any direction, SO that
the dust may not fly on the horses; the
wagon tracks being sufficient guide fol
the return trip.

NOMINATION OF GEN. MCGOWAN.

The Conservative Convention which
met at Newberry last week unanimous
ly nominated Gen. S. MCGOWAN as their
candidate for Congress from. the IAiru
Congressional District, and we publish
elsewhere his letterQt acceptance Inc
Conservatives could not have selected
one who in character and ability IS
more worthy to he the standard-bearef
of a great party, or who from the strong
hold which he has upon the love and
respect of his fellow-citigens, is more
likely to achieve SUCCESS. Gen. Nc
Gowen has been born and reared
amongst us, and in feeling, in interest
and in common association is one OF US.
His past record is known to all his coun-
trvmen, and affords the best guarantee
of that liberal, generous aud humane
policy, which his election is proposed to
inaugurate, and which lies at the basis
of the prosperity of beth races. His
legal and political experience emlnently
qualify him for the work of legislator
and his thorough knowledge of the ne
cessities of his section, would make him
one of it's best esponcnts and representa-
tiyes. Ne areSure that there is no one
in the Congressional District who Is
better able to bring out the Conservative
strength Or to divide the Republican
yste; or who could enter the field with
better hopes of success. PEE. ....'

Presentment of the Grand Jury.

The prcsentment of the Grand Jury
was made on Friday last, by the. fore
man, Mr.. J. w. Perrin, and is q very
excellent document, presenting the re-
suits of very faithful discharge of duty,
in thorough investigation OF all the
matters which came within the scope OF
their enquiry. 1t, received wcll-mcr-
ited compliment from the presiding
Judge. AS we are unable to publish it
this week, we present the following
brief synopsis Of the presentment.
With regard to the maintenance of the
poor, the Grand Jury approve the con-
tract for letting them out to the lowest
responsible bidder, which was awarded
to Mr.. Jacob Miller, at S9.70 per month
for each, until the 1st Of November,
1874, and recommend q continuance Of
the system, as affording very great re-
duction iIr the expenditures. .ns
They found the court house and Jail
generally in good condition, and recon-
mend certain repairs. They cal atten--
ton to the fact that the lower doors and
windows of the court house are left open
ut night, and urge discontinuance of
the practice. They call attention, also, to
the fact that the Sheriff has received no
pay for dieting prisoners since April last,
and recomolnmend the County Com
missioners to make an early effort to pay
the debt.
The public offices they report to be

The President recognizes the necessity
of having this subject settled without
lelay The views of johnson and
O'C6por, published in the Herald have
been carefully read by the President.
He does not agree with Johnson, that
either Kellogg or McEnery were elect
ed, but equivocally declares that the
election was q mockery, and that his
only motive in recognizing Kellogg was
to save society in Louisiana from an
archy, he does not consider either Kel-
logg or McEnery the lawfully elected
Governor of Louisiana. On Friday last,
in conversation with y Southern gentle
man, he intimated that this would be
his position in his next message to Con-
gress, and that he should ask that pro-
vision be made for free and fair elcc-
ton at the earliest possible day, and
should give emphasis to what he had
already declared, that it was time for
the Republican party to unload Louis
lana. ''
Mr.. O'Conor has written a second let
ter, in which he shows very clearly that
the overthrow of q government is very
far from invaliduting the official acts
performed under its authority.
