A Rag Millionaire.

One Of the Wealthiest of English vel
vet manufacturers, Mr.. Listar, worked
his way to success by years of patient
labor III search Of a way to utilize silk
rags. He began by buying up all such
waste at less than one cent a pound,
and up to the year of 1864 he had ex-
pended the immense sum of over
ST. 100000 in fruitless efforts to find a
process. Nothing daunted, however,
he continued his experiments, and
within the past ten years had discov-
cred a method of converting such re-
fuse into velvet of the finest quality

MEMORIES.
by REV. FATHER A. J. RYAN.

They come, ms the breeze comes over the foam,
Walking the waves that are sinking 10 sleep,
The fairest of memories from fnr-away home,
The dim dream offaces beyond the dark deep.
They come MS the stars come out in the sky,
That simmer wherever the shadows NAV
sweep;
And their steps are as soft ms the sound OF a
sigh,
And | welcome them all while I YEARLY
weep.
They come MS song comes out Of the past
AS loved mother murmured in days that are
dead
Whose tones spirit-thriliing live on TO the last,
Where the gloom of the heart wraps its gray
DER the head.
They come like ghosts from the grass-shrouded
graves,
And they follow our footsteps on life's wind
ing way;
And they murmur around us as murmur the
waves
That sigh on the shore at the dying Of day
They come--sad as tears to the eyes that are
bright;
They come-sweet as smiles TO the lips that
are pale
They come-dim rs dreams in the depths of
the night;
They come-fair as flowers in the lone lovely
vale.
There is not heart that is not haunted So
Though far we may stray from the scenes of
the past;
Its memories follow wherever we GO
And the days that were first sway the days
that were last.

Feed Your Corn at Home.


The prospect for and unusually large
crop of corn and consequent low prices.
gives force to the following advice to
farmers, from the Salisbury Adoertiser !
We have repeatedly advised our far
mers not to sell any corn when it brings
less than eighty cents per bushel. 1t
will always pay to feed it when it is less
than that price. This year we have
tried little experiment, the result Of
which is, that four bushels of corn will
produce fifty lbs of chickens, which at
II cents brings six dollars. The corn
is worth two dollars, gain Of four dol
lars for trouble Twenty bushels of
corn meal fed to cows, with two stacks
of fodder, produce enough milk at eight
cents a quart to bring eighty dollars.
The meal at sixty cents costs twelve doll
lars, the fodder eight dollars. leaving
sixty dollars towards paying for the cows,
while the manure paid for the time taken
to feed them The same results will be
realized by feeding hogs. horses. sheep
or beef cattle iudiciously. while the great
est profit of all will be realized in in
creased productivencss Of the farm. Our
farmers will never be independent until
they commence sending their produce to
market in leather bags g. e. live stock, }
and the sooner they become convinced of
this the better it will be for them.

THE ARMY OF the DEAD The whole
surface Of our globe has been dug over
l28 times to bury its dead, even not
reckoning the long age of the world
which is given it by modern science and
we inhale, we feed upon elements the
very atoms thar have been living human
beings before. The dead live again, and
we greet them in the perfume of the
city, in the light flakes of the snow, in
the thousand leaves Of the forest.
Death is painless. There is no mo-
ment in our lives in which molecular
death is not going on in us. The last
words Of multitude Of persons indicate
that mere disintegration is painless To
die Of cold, after the first agony is over,
is luxury. So Is drowning. The smile
of death, the placdity ofdeath comes to all
features after Che rigor uaortts. That is
over in three days.

Why Johnsons Ram Failed to got Prize.

Judge thought he had better g0in and
make q close examination of the ami
NAL for the purpose of ascertaiaing
the fineness Of its wool. AS soon a.
the Judge reached the interior he
walked towards the ram, whereupon
the ram began to lower his head and
to shake it ominously. Just as the
Judge was about to feel the fleece the
ram leaped forward and planted his
head in the Judges stomach, rolling
him over on the ground. Before the
Judge had time to realize what had
happened the ram came at him again
and began series of promiscuous
butts, each given with the precision
and force of a pile-driver. 1t butted
the Judge on the back, on the ribs, on
the arms, on the shoulder blades, on

shins; it butted his spectacles of; it
butted his high hat into silk chaos; 1t
butted him over into the corner and
up against the fence; then it butted
four boards off the pen and escaped
into the fair grounds aud skedaddled,
and would not wait to have the hrst
prize ticket pinned to his ear. Judge
Klump did not go after it. No. mol
Four men carried him home. The
doctor anticipates he will recover by

their lives for the country,s preserva-
ttan in the kindest remembrance.


18th. We sincerely deprecate all
sectional feeling and tendencies; we
therefore note with deep solicitude
that the Democratic party counts as
its chief hope of success upon the elec-
toral voteiof the United States secured
through the effort of those who we're
recently arrayed against the nation,
and invoke the earnest attention Of
the country to the grave truth that .
success thus achieved would reopen
sectional strife and imperil the ma
tion's integrity and human rights.
10th. We charge the Democratic
party with being the same In charac-
ter and spirit as when 1t sympathized
with treason; with making its control
in the House of Representatives the
triumph and opportunity of the ma
tion's recent foes; with reassefting
and applauding in the National capt.
tai, the sentiments of unrepentant ie-
bellion; with sending the Union sol
diers to the rear and promoting Con.
federate soldiers to the front; With do
liberately proposing to repudiate the
plighted faith of the government;
with being equally false and imbecile
upon the overshadowing f1nancial
questions; avoiding the ends of justice
by its partisan mismanagement and
obstruction of investigations; with
proving itself through the period Of
its ascendancy In the lower House Of
Congress utterly incompetent to ad-
minister the government, and we
warn the country against trusting =
party thus unworthy and incapable.
18th. The National administration
merits for its honorable work In the
management of domestic and foreign
affairs, and Prefident Grant deserves
the continued gratitude of the
American people for his patriotism
and his eminent services in war and
peace.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of

punishment of horse thieves by whip
ping for the first offense, whipping
and branding for the second offense,
and hanging for the third. In cases
where Courts are not handy, the third
punishment will be given first. BY
the way of testing the efficacy of this
provision, seventeen horse thieves

months.
