AN OLD FIELD BoSANzA.-Last sea
son there were shipped from Salem
North Carolina, to Chicago and other
noints. over three million pounds OF
dried blackberries, for which the ship
ners received an average of fifteen cents
per mound. or noarly half million
dollars--or TO put it down 10 poin'
that will make it appreciable, they re-
ceived for their blackberry crop rs
much as they would have received LOT
q 900 boles of cotton at tifteen cents
Der pound. A correspondent who has
investigated the condition OF this new
traffic, conveys the information tnat
this Is the third season the Salemltes
have engaged in the wholesale gather
inr OF blackberries. Frequently
whole families turn out at early dawn
and pick berries until dark. A 6ushel

at fifteen cents per pound thls VIII
make the fruit worth 81 w per bushei
II is estimated that it costs two cents
per pound TO dry the fruit, 1t being
done in the simplest manner ny
spreading upon boards In the sum
Deduct from the gross cost one cen
per pound for freight, two-cents lol
driving, and say two cents Tor mer
chants profits, and it will be seen tina
the berries will net the pickers aoou
ten cents per pound, or III 20per bush
el per day. 1t is stated that from IN
entire State of North Carolina not les
than one and Il half million dollars
worth OF dried berries were shipped las

exported to Grmany in large quaint

THIS year the crop promises an emo

Diamond Dust.

1t were strange fancy to build up
the human character after the model
of the four great orders of architecture,
yet probity is firm but simple as the
DOric; pride of loftier and more eiabor-
ate refinement than the Tuscan; gener-
osity, with the beauty and grace of
the Ionic; and love, excelling with
Corinthian excellence, possessing the
strength of all, equalled in exquisite
ornament by none.
Fashionable society is q merry-go-
round, that first makes us giddy and
then sick.
The human mind should be globe
of humanity moving on the poles of
truth.
History gives us many i!lustrious
villains, but never an illustrious
miser.
None are more to be pitied than
those who have the means of crafty
ing their desires before they have
learned to govern them.
They who are very indulgent to
sideraton for others.
There are two kinds of geniuses, the
clever and the too clever.
Most men take conviction from an
adversary as children do physic, with
struggle and II shudder.
70 liberal mind poverty is stimu-
liant, meanness refrigerant, selfish
ness an Opiate, and ingratitude a poi
son.
Many lofty intellects are like high
mountains, covered with perpetual
ice; others, of more ardent constitution
use their fire like VOLCANOES, for de-
struction.
Good intentions will never justify
evil actions; nor will good acts ever
Justify evil intentions.
"The human face is divine, when
not degraded by the vices of society,""
at is to live twice, when you can
enjoy the recollection of your former
life."
Love labor; If you do not want it for
food, you may for physic.
Report is a-Quick traveller, but an
unsafe guide.
"EXperience takes very high school
wages, but she teaches like no 9TH
er."
He who will not reason is a bigot;
he who cannot is fool; and he who
dares not is slave.
Hearts may agree though heads
differ.
The true estimation of living is not
to be taken from age, but action; some
die old at forty, Others infants at four
score.
A great proof of superiority is to
bear with impertinence.
Rich men have commonly more
need to be taught contentment than
the poor.
1t is not all joy which produces
laughter; the greatest enjoyments are
serious. The pleasures of love, ambi-
ton or avarice, make nobody laugh.
Poetry is the natural language of all
worship. The Bible is full of poetry;
Homer is full of religion.
There is no saying shocks us so much
as that which we very often hear, that
man does not know how to pass his
time.
The art of life is to know how to en-
Joy little, and to endure much.
We may forgive an injury and an
insult; but excuse us from being
bored.
Ink is the black sea on which
thought rides at anchor.
Since the generality of persons act
from impulse, much more than from
principle, men are neither so good
nor so bad as we are apt to think
them.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-11-03
Scented to Kill.

The Detroit Free Press says: A De-
troit girl picked up a new beau the 9TH
er evening at church, and when they
reached her fathers gate he accepted
her invitation to go in. He was per-
fumed to KILL and it wasn't long be-
fore his musk reached the back room
where the old folks sat. The old man
was heard stubbling around, mutter-
ing and growing, and presently he
opened the door and passed out and
walked around the house. He came
back after snufiling around for a few
minutes, and, pounding on the parlor
door, he inquired:
"Evangeline, where's that piece of
candle?n
81 don't know, father; why?" she
inquired in return.
fThere's q skunk or something un-
der the addition, and I've got to hunt
him out or we can't live here over
night"
The young man didn't stay long af-
ter that.

A Distinguished Visitor.

AS everything pertaining to the
family of the late distinguished COM
mander of the Confederate army is of
interest to Northern as well as South
ern people, we publish the following,
from the Sacramento Bee: "Mrs.
Capt. Lee, of Virginia, daughter-in-
law of General Robert f. Lee, came
OH the overland train on Thursday
and stopped over in this city one day,
in order to obtain view of our State
Capitol. She left this morning on
the train for Placerville, where she
will remain few weeks with some
friends. She then intends to journey
to Los Angeles and remain there all
Winter, returning East next Summer.
Her health is poor, and she thinks the
climate of that part of California will
be very beneficial to her. Her hus-
band thinks of coming out in few
months to join her. She expressed
herself as delighted with everything
in California, and was astonished to
see the Capitol grounds covered with
flowers at this season of the year."

THE PATCHWORK QUILT.

In sheen of silken splendor,
With gittering threads OF gold,
I've seen the waving marvels
That hung In the halls OF old;
When fair hands wrought the lily,
And brave hands held tae lance,
And stately lords and ladies
stepped thr ough the courtly dance.
I've looked OH rarer fabrics,
The wonders of the loom,
That caught the flowers of summer,
Aud captives held their bloom;
But not their wreathing beauty,
Tho ugh fit for queens to wear,
Can with one household treasure,
That's all my own compare.
II has no golden value,
The simple patchwork spread;
It's squares in homely fashion
Set in with green ard red
Bat in these faded pieces
For me are shining bright
All, many a Summer morning,
And many Winter night
The dewy breath of clover,
The leaping light of flame,
Like spells my heart come over,
AS one by one name
These bits OF old-time dresses
Chintz, cambrlc, calico
That looked so fresh and dainty
On my darling long ago
This violet was mothers
| seem To see her face,
That ever like a sunshine,
Lii up the shadiest place,
This buff belonged TO Susan,
That scarlet spot was mine;
And Fanny wore this pearly white,
Where purple pansies shine.
turn my patchwork over
A book with pictured leaves
And feel the lilac fragrance,
And the snow fall on the caves.
Ofall my hearts possessions,
think least C suld spare
The quilt we children pieced Mt home,
When mother dear was there.
