A YANKEE BoY.-A tourist tells the fol.
lowing story: We recently met our friend,
DR.. Lord, formerly of Boston. He has been
resident of this section for about six years.
He was extensively engaged in buying wool,
and on one occasion, becoming bewlldered
in the multiplication of the roads over the
broad prairies, he rode up to small cabin
inclosed in clump of locust trees, aud ad'
dressed white headed boy perched on the
top of ben.coop, with {: "Hallo, boy!"
II reckon you're stranger" was the re.
sponse.
Look here, sonny"
81 ain't your, sonny"
"No, not my sonny, but if you will jump
down and come here, will give you dime"
The boy spraug as if falighting from wasps
nest, and coming to the stranger, exclaimed :
"Well, old hoss, what is it?
Owe lost my way and don't know where
am. Can you tell me:"
"Yes; on your horse" ..-
Mr.. Lord laug ghed at the boys wit, and
handed him dime. The boy took the mon
ey, aud looking up with mingled feelings of
wonder and delight, he said {:
"Reckon you must have power of money r
"Wby SO, my boy? ?"
",Cause you slather it away SO"
Whats your fathers name p inquired Mr..
Lord.
"Bill Jeuks," was the reply.
"Ah! yes, I know him." exclaimed Mr..
Lord. "He grows wool, doesn't he p
"No, but his sheep does"
"If you knew me, my lad, you would be
more respectful in your replies. | am a
friend of your fathers; my name is Lord"
ooh! yes" exclaimed the astonished lad,
81 heard pop read about you in the Bible"
And starting of for the house on dead
run, he bawed at the top of his lungs: 8
Mother, mother, the Lord is out here on
horseback and has lost his way!'-1s1as Pa

LIVELY LocAL1rY.-A good story is told
of all Irishman who gave evidence before
Fishery Commission on the west coast of
Ireland. Amongst other questions, as he
seemed rather discursive and inclined to
aver anything, one of the commissioners
\asked him "if they had many whales there"
- it whales<?" questioned Pat. "Sure ye
lay seem by the dozen, spouting about like
wather-engines all over the place." Another
commissioner gravely asked if there were
many dog6sh.
"Dogs, begorra Faix, ye'd say so 'ad ye
passed the night here; sure we can't slape for
the barkin' of them" Lastly, one of the
other commissioners asked eff flying fish
abounded." .a
The answer was, "Arrah, an if we didn't
put the shutters up every night, there
wouldn't be whole pane of glass left in the
house, for the cratures batting against thin"
This finished the sitting, and the next day
Pat come to ask for his expenses, exclaiming,
in extension of them, "Sure now, honey,
didn't swear to everything ye axed me ?"

was the first regularly commissioned naval
commander of the American colonies. In
November, IT'S, he received from the Onti
mental Congress commission naming him
Commodore aud Commander-in-chief Of the
Navy. His first squadron consisted of, four
ships and three sloops. Paul Jones was q
lieutenant under him at that time The feet
was ready for sailing, aud Congress supposed
another day would find it under way; but
Hopkins would not sail without battle lam
terms, and not one had been provided, nor
was it known where they could be procured.
On the very day following the presentation 9f
this want to Congress, the post brought Off
cial information that Capain Manly, of the
Yankee privateer, "Lee," commissioned BY
General Washington, had captured and taken
into Cape Ann, Mass, the British ordnance
brig, Nancy" on board Of which had been
found not only an invaluable store of arms
and ammunition for the army, but the battle
lanterns required by Commodore Hopkins.
On another occasion, while Congress was
in session at Philadelphia, two thousand mus
kets were required for the arming of "a force
that had been raised for an emergency. While
Mr.. Wilson, of Pennsylvania, was speaking
on the subject, and pressing home the fact
that, however distressing the labor might be;
the muskets must be obtained, the door-keep-
er touched him upon the shoulder, and called
him out, and in one of the ante-rooms intro
duced him to the captain of vessel that had
Just arrived from the sea. Shortly afterwards,
Mr.. Wilson, with beaming face, returned to
his seat and terminated the business before
Congress by informing the members that an
American privateer had just arrived with the
requisite number of muskets on board, on &C.

pie right to it beyond his neighbors-the right
to clear it if it be forest, fence and and work it
at any future time. Until it is in some way
fenced, it is the common property of any one
who may see fit to use it as a pasture ground.
The purchaser has prospective right to it
which his neighbors have not, and that is all.
Is this just Is it right for few to pasture
the stock of whole community? Every one
knows that the practice of the present system
prevents uncultivated lands from improving.
The owners of the common pasture grounds
are suffering continual loss.
But there is another aspect in which this
thing presents itself. Right or wrong, our
fathers cut down the forests of our country.
We feel safe in saying that outside of the old
field pines, there is not enough of timber in
the State ofSouth Carolina to put a good and
lawful fence around the lands at present cul-
tivated. A few in every community have an
abundance of timber to supply all the demand
for many years to come. The number of these
individuals is exceedingly few. The interest
of the majority demands that something be
done to cause less drain upon the forest. In
a few years it will be absolutely impossible
for some sections of our State to put a fence
around the cultivated lands. The old field
will afford fire wood, but not fire wood and
fence rails. 1t will come to that point in a
few years that virtue will have to be made
of necessity, and the present fence law'chang.
ed. We are candidly of the opi Union that the
sooner this change is made, the better it will
be for the whole country. 1t can only be
done by legislation, and this legislation should
be an exponent Of the wishes of the whole
people, or rather of the land holders of the
State.

An Amusing Tragedy.

There are various ways of getting
ont of this troublesome world, and some
Of those who shuttle of the mortal coil
with view of making their exit from
this sphere the work oftheir own hands
adopt novel expedients. Take the case
Of the San Francisco washer woman, tor
instance, who, while rejecting Gu the
ills that she bore in this world, and the
grevious burdens of the daily struggle
for existence, stuck her head IN the suds
and held il there until she was defunct;
passing over the border damp and
soapy.
A Eureka woman who had brooded
over her tolls and tribulations until
she was in tina, unhappy state of mind
when suicide seemed to offer her the
only relief, made miserable fiasco. and
now lives to still endure, notwithstand-
ing her attempt at self murder.
Her husband would stay out 1T night
play pedro, and otherwise conduct him
self in an undutIful manner, and, to cap
the climax Of his cruelties, refused to
purchase her one of those sweet hats
just imported by Myers & Franklin.
When he left the residence to go down
down and sec man, she determined on
death. and took FOR that purpose bot
tie of corrosive sublimate from the
closet, where the family-drugs were
kept.
Composing herself carefully on the
bed, and as gracefully as If she ha d
been California theatre actress, she
drained at one gulp huge goblet full,
dropped the glass to the floor. folded
her hands on her breast, and calmly
awaited death.
She had anticipated the most excru-
ciating pain, as the terrible corrosive
substance should act on her inwards,
and marveled greatly To find instead q
sensation Of delicious bliss stealing over
her whole system. Her spirit was won
derfully exalted, her vision rose and
roamed at will through all the glad
some memories Of her happy past.
II had not dreamed" she said. speak
ing with difficulty, for her voice was
failing fast, and her uttersnces cfogged.
II had not dreamed that death wash 30
easily. i would have done it often had
known this. Oh. death, wherisl thy
stingf Oh. gravel whereish thy victory
At this juncture her husband entered.
What in dernation are You doing,
Molly? What makes your face so
red 2"
"Goo'-by. John; goin' die. Taken
croshivc subl'ate. Forgive yer ever
thing"
"Why, that's ten dollar brandy that
bought down to Clark & Botto's. I
put that label on it so that you would
nj drop on the contents"
Molly was too far gone.to understand
the explanation, but when she woke up
in the morning with splitting head
ache, she said that she never realized
before how dear John suffered after one
of his periodical DRINKS. The husband
now hides his flask behind the family
bible. the only place in the house
where il is SAT. from molestation.

MARCH.



The stormy March Is cone at last,
With wind, and cloud, and changing skies (;
hear the rushing of the blast,
That through the snowy valley files.
All, passing few are they who speak,
Wild, storm month in praise Of thee;
Yet though Thy winds are loud and bleak,
Thou art a welcome month TO me.
Por thou to northern lands again
The glad and glorious sun dOst bring,
And thou hast Joined the gentle train
And wearht the gentle name OF spring.
And In thy reign of blast and storm
Smiles many n long, bright sunny day,
When the changcd winds are soft and warm,
And heaven puts on the blue of May.
Then sing aloud the gushing rills
In Joy tn q they again are free,
And brightly leaping down the hills,
Renew their journey 10 the sea.
The years departing beauty hides
OF wlnt'ry storms the sullen threat;
But In thy sternest frown abides
A look of kindly promise yet.
Thou bring'st the hope OF those calm skies,
And that soft time OF sunny showers,
When the wide bloom on earth that lies,
Seems OF a brighter world than ours.
