THE YORKVILLEENQUIRER
VOLUME ol--1s75.
ATTRACTIVE ORIGINAL STORIES.
PREMIUMS FOR CLUBS.

WITH the new year, the ENQUIRER will
w enter upon its TWENTY-FIRST VOL
UME; and in making our regular annual an
nouncemept, we can promise greater attractions
owing to increased facilities in every department,
than we have heretofore been enabled to present
AS a non-partisan independent family news
paper the future editorial conduct of the EN-
QUIRER can be as we'll judged by the past, as by
any promise which we might now feel disposed
to make. An experience of thirty-four years in
the newspaper business, seventeen Of which have
been unremittingy devoted to the management
of the ENQUIRER, fully convinces the proprie.
tor that the plan he adopted on assuming control
of the paper, is the correct mode of journalism in
the present day. The true mission of newspa-
per is to place before the public facts they exist
unbiased by partisan feeling or sinister motives,
and the proprety Of this course is fully attested
not only by the success Of the ENQUIRER,
which can truthfully claim the largest circulation
of any country paper in the South, but also by
many other Of the most popular and wldely-circu-
lated papers Of the day. The course thus indica-
ted we shall continue to pursue, aiming to pub
lish LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPA A.
PER, which shall be welcome visitor to the
Home Circle, and acceptable alike to all classes
of readers. Hence the news department Of the
ENQUIRER, whether of matters at home or
abroad-poltical or otherwise-will be guarded
with the utmost care, and only facts as they may
seem to exist will be presented, free from per-
sOnal, sectional or party bias.

TRAINING CHILDREN.

In the 18th chapter of the gospel by Luke,
we are informed that certain persons brought
infants unto the Saviour, that he might touch
them. The disciples rebuked those who
brought the infants. They thought, no doubt,
that it was useless to bring such beings to the
Saviour. Possibly, they thought the infants
were too youngto be instructed by the Saviour,
or had no need ola Saviour. Itmay be thought
that the disciples acted very strangely, and
so they did; but the disciples of Christ still
act in the same way. Children are much
petted, but greatly neglected. A civilization
which is falsely so called, and christianity
which is semi-pagan, neglects children almost
entirely. Parents scarcely ever take them to
church, and when they are taken, it is not
with the hopeor expectation that they will be
benefited by the ordinances of Gods house;
but to make display of some new-fangled
dress. Its strange what unscriptural notions
many christian parents have about the spirit
ual condition of children. Some think they
enter the world with natures spotlessly pure,
and consequently do not need Saviour
Others think that it is of no use to direct their
attention to the subject of religion until they
are nearly grown. Some think if children
are baptized in the proper way, and by the
proper person, they will certainly be saved
Others think that children should not be bap'
tized at all. Some parents seem to regard
their children almost destitute of moral ma
lures. They bestow much attention on train
ing them Intellectually, and spend much mon
ey in procuring for them bodily comforts, but
not moment of time is devoted to developing
their moral nature, nor one cent of money
spent in giving them christian education
The result of these unscriptural notions and
unscriptural practices is, the devil is reaping
rich harvest. Young men and young wo
men grow up without the fear of God before
their eyes, and in marvelously short time
bring infamy upon themselves and sorrow tc
the hearts of their parents. Children are moi
so innocent as some people think they are
neither are they so dull and stupid as is often
thought. They can learn what is wicked very
readily at very tender age, however difficult
it may be to teach them anything good
Many of them learn to swear glibly, in the
latest coined oaths, before they are able to ar
ticulate distinctly. Unfortunately, in this
thing they follow the example of their pa
rents. There are in the world mnltitudes o.

nominal Christians who by example teach
their childrento blaspheme the name of God,
who never taught their children either by pre-
cept or example to pray. Sometimes children
spurn the precepts of parents enforced by ex-
ample, but not often. The world gazes with
establishment at goddess boy, the son of a
practically pious father Children generally
grow up just as they are trained or permitted
to be trained.

MUSIC HATH CHARMS, &C.

WITH pleasure inform all who desire to give
w their children a chance for musical edu-
cation, but whose means are very limited, that
have made arrangements with the celebrated
"Mason & Hamlin Organ Co.," to supply persons
with their unrivaled instrument, either at lowest
factory prices, for cash, or on monthly or quar-
terly payments upon what's called the lease prin-
ciple. Thus any one by paying only moderate
sum for the use of the instrument, can, at any
time give it up or become purchaser; the amount
already paid being applied to the purchase. Or a
person having paid the rent for four years, be-
comes the owner of the Organ without further
payment Call and enquire for particulars and
see the new styles, at my Photo gallery, in the
Adickes building, where may be found during
all business hours, either to show you sample or
to wait upon you if you want anything in the
Photographic line as heretofore.

ORCHARDS.

In this county, we have the means of living
comfortably and enjoying many Of the luxu-
ries of life, with small expense and but little
labor. Any man, who owns few acres of
land, can have an orchard which will supply
his family with choice varieties of fruit.
Peaches, apples, plums, cherries and grapes,
flourish we'll in our climate. Heretofore, but
little attention has been devoted to orchards.
On every plantation few peach trees have
come up, in the fence corners, and grown and
borne, in spite of neglect, fine peaches On
most plantations, few fruit trees are planted
out each year, but in some improper place and
in careless way. After being planted no
care is taken Of them, and they do no good.
The COWS are permitted to have free access to
the trees and the result is, the tops are eaten
off and many of them are broken down and
destroyed Stock of no kind should be al
lowed to enter an orchard. During the winter
season, the trees should be manured with some
good vegetable manure. In the spring, the
ground should be worked over, and all the
weeds and grass cleaned away from about the
roots of the trees.
Not only is good orchard great luxury,
but, properly managed, money can be made
out oft. An acre of land will support about
ninety apple trees. Each tree will bear, on
an average, when properly attended to, about
ten bushels of apples, which would make nine
hundred bushels. These, sold at twenty-five
cents per bushel, would bring the sum of two
hundred and twenty-five dollars. This is more
than can be made on five acres when planted
in cotton. But fruit is healthy. Good fruit
is better than medicine. Grapes and apples,
especially, afford nutriment to the brain.
There is every reason to believe that our
people would be healthier in their bodies, and
have more elevated morals, would they turn
their attention more to theraising of fruit and
devote less attention to the production of cot
ton. The disappointments which the cotton
planter constantly meets with have tenden-
cy to make him Incorporate and immoral.

THE SAFE WAY.-"Is there ford here?
asked an English gentleman, who, in making
tour in the west of Ireland, was suddenly
stopped by mountain stream. 30, to be
sure, your honor" said an honest native
"there was once ford here" "When was
it?" asked the gentleman. 1T was before the
bridge was built, yer honor" answered the
good-humored Hibernian "but after the
passengers used the bridge it got out of habit.
"Well," said the traveller, "now that the
bridge is broken down, I suppose the ford
may have got into habit again. Is it safe p

why, there is not better ford in all the coun'

asyou get out of your depth, to walk back

yayHE COOKING STOVES manufactured at our
works in Greensboro N. c., give universal
satisfaction wherever introduced. They are made
of the BEST SCOTCH PIG METAL, with heav-
ier and thicker plate than any other Stove in tho
market, and consequently will the longer with
stand heat and hard usage. They are of hand
some pattern and neat fnish and warranted equal
in every other respect to any Cooking Stove sold
in the United States while It's confidently claimed
that they are the CHEAPEST. All the usual
pieces of ware and cooking utensils are furnished
with each Stove. An important consideration
with purchasers is the fact that our patterns and
sizes are never changed. Should piece get acci-
dentally broken at any time, we can replace it at
the mere cost of casting. Not simply because it
is home production, button account of its intrin-
sic merits as an article Of household economy, do
we ask the patronage of home purchasers. More
