published in 1900, which selects some
fourteen years from the whole number
occurring between 1900 and 1910 as years
to be marked by unusually stormy wea-

curious interest the fulfillment of the
predictions. which. he says, has been
singularly complete, the storms always
falling not more than day apart from
the day indicated. The calculation sets
down period of severe cold in the lat
ter part Of May, 1873. this being one OF
the fourteen years when it is predicted
We shall have frost in this latitude, and

you wish, heading each page with the
department to which it belongs, MS fol-

for cake, and 30 on throu gh family cook

care for the sick, and oil tho various
things that are part of woman's duty,
and for which, unfortunately, there is no
school but experience. Number your
pages, if they are not numbered in the

RULES OF THE RoAD.-The great lead
ing rule is that no one has the right to
be In the middle of the road, exccpt
when no other person is present to claim
his right to the use of one-half the high
way, which claim he hns precisely the
same right to assert when travelling in
the same direction that he has when he
meets another. This is the law of every
State in the Union, and, so far az we are
informed, of every civilized country; and
all persons violating it are liable for all
damages resulting from their conduct.
When teams meet, the American law is
that each, turning to the right, shall give
half the road. The custom and the law
of England require teams to turn out to
the left, as expressed in an old doggerel:
The rule of the road is a paradox quite:
In riding or driving along
If you keep the left, you are sure to 60
right,
Hyou keep to the right, you go wrong.
In passing, the person in front is re-
4uired to turn to the left, 30 rs to allow
the person in the rear, who is travelling
at more rapid pace, to pass by on his
right.
Where teams approach Mt right angles,
or lntersecting roads. it the dnty of the
person who, by turning to the right,
would pass to the rear of the other team,
to pull up, and allow the others to pass
In wide streets in towns or cities,
these general principles should always
be observed, though from the necessities
OF the case, persons are less strict in
keeping on the proper side of the street,
being frequently obliged, with proper
care for the rights Of others, to pass to
the other side, to avoid crowd or other
obstruction.
A person with light vehicle, meeting
or desiring to pass heavily-laden team,
especially if the latter is going up hill,
will generally turn out without requiring
the man with the loaded wagon to give
half the road; but the law imposes no
such obligation in any case. and, under
all circumstances. requires each to give
half the road, unless BY accident or some
obstruction it is found impossible to do

THE END CoMErH Nor YET.-The end
Of tho world, according to the ''timist"
wing of the Second Alventists. wns to
have come on tho midnight of Monday.
That the rank and flo Of the believers in
this superstition were sincere in their
faith, Is evident from the serious prepa-
rations they made for the event. In
different localities Of the country, they
had gathered together, were baptized in
streams which the season had rendered
icy cold, and clothed in white robes,
were waiting for the trumpet sound
which should announce the grand con-
summation they expected. It is not
only wonderful that such O delusion
should prevail against both Scripture
and common sense, but that nothing
should be learned from the repeated
failures which have occurred before of
similar predictions Of the end of the
world. There is still standing, we be-
lieve, in Cleveland, Ohio, o round build
ing with q top constructed of glass,
which was erected by s'timists" of a
former period to enable them to ascend
from their house Of devotion with no
other obstruction than removing the
window which constituted the roof. In
endeavoring to reduce the prediction of
tho Hebrew prophets to mathematical
basis, they appear to have set aside alto
gother the declaration of Him whose
coming they expected, that "of that day
and that hour knoweth no man" 1t is
to be regretted that the diffusion of COM
mon school education is not always
accompanied by corresponding diffn-
sion Of common sense. The result of it
IN such localities ns those in which this
superstitution has chiefly prevailed
seems to be self-conceit which, after n
few sips Mt the ''Pierian spring." thinks
itself capable of solving all problems of
time and eternity.

A SAD OCCURRENCE.-We COPY the fol-
lowing sad account, says the Laurensville
Herald, from q slip taken from an Ala
bamn paper, the name Of which We are
unable to give, as said clipping was sent
to this place in letter. The unfortu-
nate lady has o number of relatives in
this County, and is the daughter of j.
Stobo James, deceased, q native and
former resident. She visited this place
about two years ago, and we we'll remem-
Der the sweet little girl alluded to as the
victim of the mothers melancholy hallu-
cination:
Nothing in the history Of Pleasant
Hill is more sad than the recent event of
which we made mention last week. To
correct the many stories in circulation,
we give the facts as we get them from
one entirely informed thereof Mr.. Fe-
lix T. Webster, of the Hill, arose early
on the morning of March IL, and went
out to shoot turkeys. Soon after young
lady. who slept in room of the dwell
ing, heard some one enter, and begin to
kindle fire in the chimney-place She
asked who it was, and Mrs. Webster
made answer, adding that her little
daughter was dead. The young lady
was startled, but asked what killed her.
Mrs. w. replied that she done it, and
asked the lady to come and see the child.
Sure enough, the now amazed household
found the child, aged eight years, dead,
with her hands neatly folded upon her
breast. In answer to questions, Mrs.
Webster said that she had given her q
certain deadly poison; that she meant to
have also given it to her son, aged twelve
to the bed of the little girl, awoke her,
told her to take the dose she offered, as
suring her it was good for her, and that
the child took it, shuddered with few
slight convulsions, and died; while she
lthe mother) stood wringing her hands.
She said the vial containing the poison
fell and shattered just after she gave the
dose to the little girl, and she was, there
fore, prevented from giving it to herself
and son, though she found the latter had
looked himself in his room. In answer
to questions of why she did such deed,
Mrs. w. says abe wished to save her
child from the miseries and trials of this
wicked world, and deep religious fer
vor seems to have been the impulse to
her conduct Her son says she gave
him dose from vial the day before,
but he disliked the taste and spit it out,
telling her 1t was not the medicine for
his cold she thought it was. Since the
fatal day, the afflicted lady expresses
profound contrition that she committed
the deed, but says she thought she was
doing right at the time. Only speaking
of her dead child does she appear to be
affected in mind. The unfortunate lady
is sister of Mr.. Bolton O'Neal James, Of
Wilcox, a we'll known river man, and
first married Mr.. Greene Underwood, OF
the Hill. Her present husband, Mr..
Felix Webster, is one of the best citizens
of Dallas. Mrs. w. was n fnvorite with
the people of tho Hill, and the sad event
in which she was the chief actor has cast
gloom over the community. 1t is
understood that she will be treated for
her affiiction."

!. sTAE BLUE AND THE GRAY.-A gentle
@n % Augusta sent note to Mrs. NJ.
u. walton, the President Of the Ladies'
Memorial Association, suggesting. .if
in view Of the kindly feeling RECENTLY
manifested by Northern men for South
ern soldiers, and of the fact that at
several places in the North the graves of
the Southern dend have been remember
ed when those of Federal soldiers were
decorated, would it not be we'll for the
association to have flowers placed upon
the graves of the Federal dead in the
Augusta cemetery next Monday" The
writer expressed the opinion that such
an net would be a graceful and fitting
tribute to the memory of gallnnt foes.
and assured Mrs. Walton that if the sug-
gestion should be adopted, the associo-
ton would have the hearty cooperation
OF the Confederate soldiers of Augusta
and the citizens generally"
prompt reply was received from the
noble-hearted lady who is at the head OF
the aIemoriai Association. Mrs. Walton
says: During the war Mrs. DIR. Steiner
and myself daily visited two wards in
the hosrita! for sick and wounded
soldiers-one Confederate, the other n
Federal-and they shared alike of the
nourishment we carried. We did 30
then from humanity, hoping our soldiers
would meet with similar consideration
on Northern soil I now propose. on
our decoration day, that we reciprocate
TO any Federal dead in our midst the re-
spect that has been recently shown to the
Confederate dead"
