a Happy Couple.

A man should always be a little
older, q little stronger, little
drawer, and a little wiser, and a
little more in love with her than
she is with him. A woman should
always be little younger, aud a
little prettier, and little moro
considerate than her husband.
He should bestow upon her all his
worldly goods, and she should
take good care of them. He may
owe her every care and tenderness
that affection can prompt: but
pecupiary Indebtedness to her
will become a burthen. Better
live on a crust that he earns than
on a fortune that she has brought
him.
Neither must be Jealous, mol
give the other cause for jealousy.
Neither must encourage sentimen-
tai friendships with the opposite
sex. Perfect confidence in eacl
other, and reticence concerning
their mutual fairs, even to men,
hers of their own families, is 8
first necessity. A wife should
dress herself becomingly whenever
she expects to meet her husbands
eye. The man should not grow
slovenly, even at home. Fault
finding, long arguments, or scoi-
dings, ends the happiness that be
gins in kisses and love-making
Sisters and brothers may quRrre
and make up" Lovers are lovers
no longer after disturbances occur
and married people who are no
lovers, are bound by redhot chains
If man admires his wife most il

Tales Of uI.e boomerang

A traveller tells us something o.
the singular weapon used by the
natives of Australia. They range
from feet to IS inches in length
and were OF various shapes; al
curved n little, and looking as he de-
scribes them, something like 6
wooden new moon. They were
made OF dark, heavy wood and
weighed from one to three pounds
In thickness they very from half al
inch and taper TO q point at each
end.
One of the natives picked up the
piece of wood, aud posing it an in.
slant, threw it, giving it a rotary
motion. For the first 100 feet OF
more il went straight ahead, then
tackled to the left aud rose slightly,
still rotating rapidly. 1t keep this
latter course for a hundred feet
more, perhaps, but soon veered 10
the left again, describing a broader
curve and n moment later fell to the
earth q or feet in front of the
ihrower. having described nearly q
circle in the air.
Another native then took the
same boomerang aud cast it, hold
ing it with the same grip. 1t took
the same course, but made broader
curves, aud as IL came round the
black caught it handsomely in his
right hand.
Another native theu threw it aud
lodged it on the ground about 20
feet behind him, after il had deserted
a circle of 200 yards or upwards.
After him they all tried it, and but
one failed to bring the weapon back
to the spot where they stood.
Carnboo, a native, then collected
from the heap of boomerangs, an
other one, and cast it with q sort OF
q jerk. II flew very quickly for 40
or 80 yards, wbirling like q top.
Then ii darted into the air, mount
ing fully 100 feet, and came over
our head, where il seemed to hang
stationary for a moment, then set
tied slowly, still whirling, till he
caught il. Two others of the blacks
then did the same thing.
Meanwhile / had with my knife

convex side of one OF the boomer

so to them. No one could be Undue

U. 3. SENATOR.

Tuesday the 10th inst. is set for our
Legislature to elect q United States
Senator to take the place now filed BY
Hon. w. G. Brownlow. whose term Of
Office expires on the first Of March next.
There has been considerable specula.
ton on the part Of the Democratic Press
OF the State as to who shall DO the
lucky man. 1t is a fight entirely
between the ambitions Generals,
Colonies, Captains and the Ex.President
Of the Democratic party. We have
taken but little interest in the fierce
contest that has been going on for the
last two months. Though We always
have our choice even in q dog fight,
but for fear that a word from us in
favor OF our choice, might change some
Burbon against our man who is nov
Tor him, we will try and keep silent
till after the election, at which time it
may be in good taste to place our sick
chicken at the head of this column.

SCHOOL.

In consequence of the want of a ,uf,
fcient amount of money. the school was
suspended on Monday. We think the
action a little hasty, but perhaps, it i.
best that the school should close. The
school enterprise as in other business
transactions will have its ups and downs.
Too much success often proves more
dangerous than an occasional failure.
We have no reflections to cast on any me.
The people have failed to appreciate the
labors and efforts Of the teachers. The
school has been giving general satisfaction.
The teachers have been faithful to the
responsibilities imposed upon them. The
citizens are not aware of the success that
attended the school. Prof, Il. II.
DUNCAN as Principal, Mrs. Gibson as
teacher of the Girls department and Miss
Wood as teacher Of the Primary depart>
msnt have done a noble work. Their
labors will not be lost, for they will be
like bread cast upon the water. A little
rest will dc our citizens good. Occasional
reverses havea tendency to set people
thinking. We must rest and think the
matter over carefully. We honestly
believe that all things will turn out well,
and that too, before long. In the end,
we shall doubtless gather wisdom from
what some people may DO. pleased to call
o failure. There is no such thing as
failure where the bands and hearts o. tho
people are ready to do and to dare. We
are for the schools, 80 are all Of us when
We have time to take breath, aud seal the
past aud prospect the future.

THE NEW YEAR.

Let us hope that the New Year will
be 8 more prosperous one than the
last. We have many reasons for anti.
cipating a year Of prosperity. 1t is q
fact that has been noticed by business
men for q number Of years, that when
the people are excited over elections.
that they do not give tie same atten.
ton to business that they do when we
have no elections. This year we will
have no annoyances Of this kind. It
has also been noticed that after a money!
panic such as we have had since the
fall OF 1878, that business suddenly
sevives. money becomes plenty and that
men are more energetic and push their
business. During the hard times of
last year the people have been as
economical as possible, they bought
emily such machinery, goods &C., as
they were compelled to have. This
year they viii need a much larger
quantity to meet their demands, and
being well supplied with produce they
will make larger purchases than was
made last year.
Az necessity compells extraordinary
industry on the part Of . large number
Ok our citizens, we hope there will be
but few illers the coming year, and
with energy, industry and pluck on the
part OF those who are now discouraged
and low in spirits We may expect q
wonderful change during the year in
SHANGHAI matters.

FLAG POND, !
Jan. LIST, 1875, (

Jan. LIST, 1885,
Mssrs. Editcrs-I see 10 your paper
Of Dec. 18th, that It is understood that
the citizens Of Greasy Cove and Flag
Pond are going to make an effort for a
new county. l feel safe in saying that
the citizens Of Flag Pond District, when
they understand the question, will take
but little stock in getting up a new coun>
ty at present, We are not yet prepared
for such o crisis. We consider that We
are only beginning to move upward in
the path of education, enterprise and i'm.
provement. And aided as we have been
by the more wealthy portion of the coun.
ty in the way Of school funds, we don't
feel willing to secede or set up for our.
selves at this time. We have too many
poor children to educate, and too little
money to educate them.
And another reason the condition Of
some Of u border counties in North
Carolina is too fresh in our memory
They have divided and subdivided to form
new counties until they are so small, that
their citizens are now paying as much as
81 taxes on the hundred dollars worth Of
property, while we are paying less than
81 per hundred yet our taxes are as
high as we desire them. or even able to
bear.
We respect u nsigbDors of the Greasy
Cove ;they are generous kind, and hospi,
table, and We would give all due respect
to their ideas and feelings, relative to a
new county ; yet we believe that it would
be heaping upon the shoulders ofthe cit
liens of the two districts for years to
como, q tax toe intolerable to be borne.
For these and various other reasons which
We could give if necessary. we hope they
will not become too much excited on the
question, til! they mediate and count up
the loss and gain.
As it is expected that there will be a
petition before the Legislature at its next
session, asking for 0 new county, we hope
our Legislators will think for us and act
for our good. Now if they do this, they
will help US to sustain our schools, and
to build up our educational intercsts, and
to develope our section. Let the subject
of a new coanty rest tor the present.
