At four o'clock in the afternoon, her cous-
ins came trooping home from school, Bob
clamoring for dinner, Charley and Rosa quar-
reling over broken slate, and Garry serenely
endeavoring to restore order among the tur-
bulent band. Noise and confusion speedily
took the place of the quiet, or rather COM
parative quiet, that had reigned during the
afternoon in the household, nor did it subside
until the whole party we're seated at the table,
where they found sufficient vent for their en-
ergy in supplying the demands of their clam
orous appetites. The meal over, the boys
took themselves off to the barn, the younger
children assembled, with their toys, in the sit
ting room, Mr.. Fielding went to look after
outdoor affairs, uncle Brainerd dozed in his
chair with silk handkerchief over his head,
Garry assisted her mother in washing up and
putting to rights, and Alice betook herself to
a window in solitary corner, whence she
gazed soberly out at the surroundings of her
new home, and INDUCED in retrospections OF
her past, and anticipations of her future life:
When it grew dark, the scattered members Of
the family assembled, as usual, in the! parlor,
where the juniors were required to be on their
good behavior. Candies were lit, and after
light supper of tea and bread and butter, Mrs.
Fieldings neverempty basket of undarned
hose was produced, with which she occupied
herself, while her husband read the newspaper
aloud. Thus the evening passed until bed
time, and so ended Alice's first day at Berry
Farm.
TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK.

son her aunt might be, but of her he said
never word. Early in the morning, they
arrived at the station where they were to get
out, and where light wagon was in readi,
ness to convey them to the farm. A half
hours drive brought them thither, and Alice
saw low, picturesque looking house, sur,
rounded by trees and fences, with garden in
front and an orchard and some fields in the
rear. Children of various sizes appeared to be
swarming at all the doors and windows, and
one little curly-headed girl ran out to meet
her father, and sprang with boisterous glee
into his arms Mr.. Fielding led the way into
the house, and as his wife advanced toward
the door, he drew Alice forward and placed
her hand in hers
"This is our new daughter, Caroline" he
said, cheerfully. But Mrs. Fielding greeting
was not warm, and the brief touch Of her lips
on Alice's brow sent chill of disappointment
to the little strangers aching heart.

considered had scarcely claim upon them.
Mrs Lynn had been separated from her
brother since early childhood, he having lived
with his own fathers relatives, and was an en-.
tire stranger to his family. She had married
early and very imprudently, and being left a
widow soon after the birth of her only child,
had struggled on for some years in poverty,
unwilling to seek help from those who had
disapproved of her marriage; and finally,
under the pressure of want and disease, had
resolved to seek the halfbrother whom she
knew scarcely more than by name, and throw
herself upon his kindness and protection:
Thus it was that her daughter, the little
Alice, found herself, helpless orphan, cast
upon the charity of strangers, at the early
age of nine years, in small boarding-house
in Columbia, while awaiting the decision of
her unknown uncle, upon which her fate de.
pended. Her mother had led strange and
wandering life and Of her nearer relatives,
in whose care she should, by rights, have been
placed, the child knew scarcely the existence
or the names.

Observation-Disclosures you wish your
children to be, be it yourself. If you wish
them to be happy, healthy, sober, truthful,
affectionate, honest, and moral, be yourself
all these. If you wish them to be lazy and
sulky and liars and thieves and drunkards
and swearers, be yourself all these. As the
old cock crows, the young one learns. You
will remember who said, "Train up child in
the way he should 60, and when he is old he
will not depart from it," And you may, as
general rule, as soon expect to gather grapes
from thorns or figs from thistles as to get good,
healthy, happy children from diseased, lazy
and wicked parents.

SUCCESS IN L1FE.-To grow rich is not to
make more money, but tospend less. If one
is not accumulating money as fast as he thinks
he ought, the remedy in nine cases out of ten
is not greater exertion to make money,
but greater care to save it. Indeed, he
who saves money systematically, putting
away part, even though it be small part,
of each weeks or each days earnings, is rich
already. His means exceed his necessities,
and that is wealth always. If people gener-
ally would conduct their affairs on the prin-
ciple above inculcated, there would be COM
paratively little business anxiety, and much
greater comfort and happiness in the house.

STAY WHERE YOU ARE.

One of the greatest drawbacks to Southern
prosperity is the restive, rowing, and unsettled
spirit of the people, Each one imagines that
there is an Ell Dorado somewhere, or that
some section is more prosperous than his own,
and there he may accomplish almost any
thing
The idea unsettles him, and if he does not
"pull up," and migrate at once, he is forever
thinking about it, and neglects to improve his
present home and farm. This delusion has
been widespread since the war, and much in
dividual disaster has been the result.
The curse of Reuben seems to rest upon the
people. That terrible "Texas fever" which
so ragged a few years ago, caused untold fami-
ly misfortunes, and ruined many excellent
farms and good farmers.
It is great mistake Contentment is the
great secret of life. Old Horace struck the
right key when he said "Happiness depends
not upon place nor climate, but upon the
state of ones mind" "Rolling stones gather
no moss" and the experiment of selling out
and moving, in the hope of bettering the con-
dition, often ends in bitter disappointment
and irretrievable loss. Thousands in the
South can testify, from experience, to the
truth of this assertion.
Better stay where you are. If you are in
good community, and your lands have bot
tom, drive down your pegs and locate. Re-
member that "there's more in the man than
the land" as old Jones said on returning from
Texas, after terrible failures, to the old worn
out homestead he bad sold, and found 1t
blooming like a garden.
Right.up the old dwellings, renew the out
buildings, palings, fences, and barns spend
few dollars in white paint, and give the prem
ises an air of cheerfulness. Cultivate less
ground, and makeit richer every year. Make
plenty to eat and some to sell, and let your
cotton crop be clear profit. Plant fruit trees,
have your rye, oats, barley, wheat and clover
patches, fine horses, fat COWS, and rich butter.
Give your wives and daughters Aower-gar-
dens, and assist them in collecting good as
sortment Of roots and cuttings Do these SIM
pie things, and, our word for it, your homes
will take new hold upon your affections, and,
instead of the rckety, dilapidated establish
ments and solemn, hungry-looking counte.
nances so common in our country, we Will
find comfortable and inviting homes, where
all is love, contentment and happiness.
1t will be like Colchian enchantress in
fusing new juices into the veins for the pro-
longation of life and youth. Try it. Turn
over new leaf and begin anew.
Fear God, love your neighbors, your wives
and children, and don't try to get rich in one
year. Teach your little ones to love their
homes There is world of melody and SEN
ment in that immortal old ballad,
"Mid pleasures and palaces, where'er we may
roam, $50 ,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home"

ps| Of all the amusements that can pos
sibly be imagined for working man, after
daily tolls, or in the intervals, there is nothing
like reading newspaper or book. 1t calls
for no bodily exertion, of which already he
has had enou gh, perhaps too much. 1t re-
leves bis home of dullness and sameness.
Nay, it accompanies him to his next days
work, and gives him something to think OF
besides the mechanical drudgery of his every
day occupation; something he can enjoy while
absent, and look forward to with much pleas
ure. If 1 were to pray for taste which
would stand by me under every variety OF
circumstances, and be a source of happiness
and cheerfulness to me through life, and
shield against all ills, however things might
20 amiss, and the world frown upon me, it
would be taste for reading

DISHONEST MEANS IN L1vING.-President
Lincoln used to say that the volume Of people
pouring into Washington, in search of "some-
thing for nothing" led him to fear that sew.
en.eighths of our population Of the country
were trying to live off the other eighth. This
would be discouraging view of society; but
it does seem as though very large fraction
of our people was attempting to get dishon-
est living at the expense of the honest portion.

DON'T STAY AFTER TEN.

BY EMMA LEE.
have just word to say to you,
When me you come to see
You know that none in all the world
Is half as dear to me.
'ris this I would request of You,
That when you come again
To see me in the evening,
You won't stay after ten.
For after ten, as moments fly,
l tremble DER and DER,
Lest papa's visage l should see
Come peeping at the door.
He's there to execute his threat;
He said he'd surely come,
If ever you stayed so late again,
And tell you to go home.
And when down to breakfast go
Papa will frown at me,
And say, "My child, that beau of yours
Is going to hear from me.
This sort of thing will not have;
So, when he comes again,
I'll Just go down and show him out,
If he don't 60 at ten.'
And so, though your society
Makes heart and pulse throb warm,
I heave a sigh of vast relief
At your retreating form.
You know that you are welcome, aye,
o! best beloved men;
But many scolding you have caused
By staying after ten.
