Z Shawl Pin IN the Lungs.

A case ofrare interest In the med
ical profession is that Of a young
daughter OF William G. Cortdn, of
Union. On the Sd Of last Septem-
Der she swallowed a shawl pin,
which was received in the left lung.
For six weeks she experienced no
trouble, put at the expiration Of
that time she had inhmation Of the
lung. She was attended by the 10
cal physicians, and at length DR.
Storrs, Of the city, was sent for, this
being in midwinter. He advised
the parents, who were Of course very
much alarmed, to trust to the chance
Of the pin being conghed up, rather
than have an incision made for the
removal Of 1t. The course was pur-
sued. The child recovered her usu-
al condition Of health, nearly, and
in May coughed up g portion of the
pin, it having rusted in two. On
the 18th Of July the rest Of the pin,
the head piece, was likewise gotten
rid Of, and the child is as well as
ever, apparently. She had lived for
eleven months with q shawl pin,
over two inches long, in her lungs.

The Sacred Temple.

Mrs. NJ. Adele Hazlett, the well
known woman's rights advocate, is
engaged in organizing q secret soci
ETY. called the Sacred Temple, the
membership Of which is confined to
women over eighteen years of age.
Mrs. Hazlett says:
There is In this society nothing
Of q sectarian or political character.
1t aims TO remove all artificial bar
riers between women, and cultivate
q sense Of trae, sisterly Obligation,
TO teach women TO respect each 9TH
er for noble qualities Of mind and
heart, and not for wealth and conse-
quent social advantages; to make
them realize the great influence
which they as u sex possess, and in
spire them TO make that influence
powerful for them to make them
better wives and mothers, better SIS
tiers, truer friends; to give them
self-reliance and decision of char
acter."

Grasses at the South.

A paper on this subject, read be-
fore a Farmers club in North Car
DINA, BY n. V. Watkins, is given
In the Southern Planter:
In the experience of the writer
he has found the following plants
best adapted to that climate: For
age plants-clover, maize, peas and
rye; grasses-orchard grass, red
top, timothy and tall meadow oat
grasses; all named in order Of value.
Orchard grass proves hardy, adapt
ed TO all soils and yields well Red
top grows on the stiff pipeclay soils
where other grasses fail, as well as
on ordinary soils, and On any land
which viii yield fair crop Of oats.
The tall meadow oat grass proves
excellent mixed with clover and or
chard grass. Timothy is only
suited to rich, moist fats; should
never be grazed, and should always
have red top sowed with it. The
other grasses afford good winter
grazing as well as large yields of
hay.

Profit IN Rearing 7loo5ed Cattle

A paragraph in the May number
Of the Journal stated that at a recent
sale Of Shorthorns in Missouri, the
proprietor of the herd made the fol
lowing statement:
in February, 1868, 1 purchased
nv first Shorthorn heifer, for which
1 paid 800. Since that time
have sold seven young bulls foi
SLO65. At this sale twenty-five
females fetched $3.50, and Eve
bulls $685.. / have five young bulls
left In nine years and g half the
produce of this one animal num-
bered forty-two, with twelve heifers
TO drop calves within six months;
and the amount realized in cash has
been $3.50"
We commend this example to the
intelligent farmers Of the country,
as one that illustrates what may be
accomplished by plain, practical
men, without forcing and pamper-
ing in encouragement, and with
out resorting TO speculation in
fancy families and fancy prices.

the sale of Messrs. J. NJ. Kenyon

Fun On the Farm.

We often hear the rem ark, saws
the Rural New Yorker, what
dull life. farming must ber'' or
@Who would live in the country,
where there are no opportunities
for fun?" Well, then, if you want
TO know what genuine fun is, just
pitch in and help break a pair of
three year old steers. First you
catch a steer and tie him up by the
head TO a post in the barnyard.
Then you catch the other one and
put rope round his horns. Then
your dad gets the yoke, and be
tween you two and the hired man
you get 1t fastened on their necks.
Then the old man tells you to unite
the rope gently, while he and the
hired man hold the critters. Just
as you slip the knot, away go the
steers with a bawl and a below
or, rather, pair Of bellows-and
there arises before your vision a
confused mixture Of horns, heels,
tails, ropes, dad, hired man and
curses on your stupidity that re-
minds you Of the picture Of a vol
canic eruption in the old geogra-
plies. And that's only the begin
ming Of the fun. By-and by dad
gets hold of one rope and the hired
man gets hold Of the other, and run
races down the lane-the steers
''neck and neck" and the old man
performing the curse on the serpent.
Then there is the time in haying
when dad undertakes to show you
how to NOW over a humble bees
nest. He saint afraid o. these
bees, nor needn't be-jest go right
aloDg-they never sting unless you
fight EN-" and then "whish, get
out Of the wayT and then dads
swath comes to a sudden stop, and
he departs for the house and harris
horn on a dead run, at the business
end of a dozen yellow legged bum
bic bees. Oh, no! there isn't no
fun on q farm.

Little Things.

Little things are indeed Of great
Importance. All nature is made up
Of particles, from the tiny, sparkling
raindrop, that helps to form the vast
and boundless deep, to the grain Of
sand, q portion Of the earth.
Our bodies are composed Of par
ticles Of matter, our characters of
little words, thoughts and actions,
and each little movement, small as
it is in our eyes, helps to swell the
days and years in which the child
becomes q man, and the man sinks
into the grave.
From the little acorn, lying hid
den and unnOticed under the dry
and rustling leaves, has sprung the
noble oak Of the forest, under whose
protecting branches many a weary
traveller has rested, and which has
at last gone to become q part of the
mighty ship.
The humble little seed, blown by
some gentle and friendly wind to its
resting place In the earth, has at last
expanded into a beautiful flower,
filing the air with its fragrance, and
cheering the eye of man with its
delicate beauty.
Was the mite OF the poor widow
too small for noticef Small it was,
indeed, compared with the gifts Of
those around. Yet it WIS not de-
spised. So it is in our daily life.
One simple look, cheerful smile
or sympathizing word, which costs
as nothing to bestow, may inspire
with fresh courage the gloomy and
Respondent.
Each blade or grass and humbled
flower has some Office to perform,
and each evil thought exerts its
baleful influence upon the character,
while our Dobler impulses, if acted
upon, make us better beings.
Little things often lead to great
results
A kind word Of advice given il
the right spirit may turn the evil
course Of bad boy to q right one,
and those words be ever remembered
thankfully as saving him from IN
known misery and sin.

There are several grades Of star

to their neighbors. There is your
bold, unblushing starer, who viii

moment. He viii take in every de-
tail of your face, dress and appear
ance, and no amount Of dignity you
can assume viii prevent his looking
at you as long as he pleases. Then
again, there is your intermittent
starer, who pauses between the acts
to gain strength to look again
Then there is the nervous starer,
who viii give you q sharp glance,
and then, just as you think he has
forgotten about you, back come his
eyes, with a sort Of spasmodic mo-
ton. The genteel slater is the
pleasantest of his race Without
exactly looking at you, he contrives
to see everything you are doing If
one has to be stared st at ali his
method is the best. But it Is no

Cunning is a short-lived success.
Obituary notices, TO be very fine,
should not be too true.
Faith has won more victories
than ambition ever has
There is fully as much pleasure
in economy as there is profit.
Young man, you can 60 up hill
as fast as you please, but 60 down
hill slow.
The man who can say ali he has
got to say in a few words is an ugly
customer TO handle.
If there is a man who thinks that
it is an easy job to be honest, just
let him try it once.

get it right nobody remembers; if
you get it wrong nobody forgets it.

There is nothing so weak as the
cunning in a man, and yet he is apt
to be more vain Of it than he is of
his judgment.
The man whose sole ambition is
to win the applause OF the world, is
sure to be disappointed, whether he
wins or loses.
Truth never need be in a hurry,
but lie must keep all the time on
a jump; q lazy lie soon tires itself

LADIES COLUMN.
ALovE STORY.
4 Romantic Tale for yoang Ladies
Pisssburg Commercial.

Pittsburg Commercial
We heard q very pretty incident
the other day, which we can not help
relating. A young lady from the
South, It seems, was wooed and won
by q youthful physician in Calfor-
MIA. When the engagement was
made the doctor was rich, having
been very successful In San Fracisco.
It had not existed six months, how
ever, when, BY an unfortunate invest
meut. he lost his entire heap. -
This event came upon him, it should
be added, just as be was about TO
claim his bride. What does he do?
Why, like an honorable and cbival-
rous young fellow. as he is, he sits
down and writes the lady every par
ticular Of the unhappy turn which
has taken place in his fortunes as
suring her that if the fact produced
any change IN her feelings toward
him, she is released from every
promise she has made him. And
what does the dear, good grip
Why, she takes a lump Of pure gold
which her lover had sent her in his
prosperity, as a keepsake, and hav-
ing manufactured into a ring, for
warded it TO him with the following
Bible inscription, engraved in dis
tinct characters on the outside
.sEntreat me not TO leave thee, or to
return from following after thee; for
whittier thou goest viii 90, and
whittier thy lodgest viii I lodge, thy
| people viii be my people and thy
God my God; where thou diest viii
+ I die and there viii be buried, the
Lord do so TO me, and more also, if
augbt but death part me and tLee. "
! The lover idollzed his sweetheart
more than ever when he received
this precious evidence Of her devo-
ton to him both IN storm and sun
shine. We may add that fortune
soon smiled again upon the physi-
clan, and that he subsequently re
turned TO the North to wed the
sweet girl he loved, and who loved
him with such undying affection
Reader, this is all true. Young
ladies who read the Bible as closely
as the heroine Of this incident seems
to have done, are pretty sure to
make good sweethearts and better
/ wives
