True Nohleness.

Sidney Smith thought the fol.
lowing worth cutting from a news
paper, and preserving as a guide to
his own life. Old though it be, it is
noble counsel: when you rise in
the morning, say that you will make
the day blessed to fellow creature.
1t is easily done. A left off garment
to the man that needs it; kind word
to the sorrowful; an encouraging
expression to the dejected-trifles
themselves as light as air-will do
at least for the twenty four hours.
And if you are young, depend upon
it,it will tell when you are old; and if
you are old, rest assured it will senp
you gently and happily down the
stream of time to eternity. By the
most simple arithmedical sum, look
at the result. If you send one per-
son happily through the day. that
is three hundred and sixty-five in
the course of year. And suppose
you live forty years only after you
commence that course of medicine,
you have made fourteen thousand
six hundred happy-at all events
for q time"

Lemons a Cure fer Consumption


A correspondent of an English
medical journal furnishes the fol-
lowing recipe as new cure for
consumption: Put a dozen whole
lemons in cold water aad boil until
soft mot too soft }, roll and squeeze
until the juice is all extracted,
sweeten the juice enough to be pal
atable, then drink. Use as many as
a dozen a day. Should they cause
pain or looseness of the bowels,
lessen the quantity and use five or
six day until better, then begin
and use a dozen again. BY the
time you have used five or SIX doz
en- you will begin to gain strength
and have an appetite. OF course as
you get better you need not use so
many. Follow these directions and
we know that you will never regret
it if there is any help for you. On
ly keep 1T up faithfully. We know
of two cases where both of the pa
tients were given up by the physi-
clans, and were in the last stages of
consumption, yet both were cured
by using lemons according to the
directions we have stated. One la
dy in particular was bedridden and
very low; had tried everything that
money could procure, but all in
vain, when to please a friend, she
was finally persuaded to try the lem
ons. She begun to use them in
February, and in April she weighed
lao pounds. She is a well woman
to-day, and likely to live as long as
any of Ms

The Russians are treading on
ground whose conquest gave to the
Emperor Trajan some of his great
est honors. In the year 105 he add
ed to the Roman empire a new
province, embracing the modern
Roumania and Bulgaria. The re-
mains of walls and magnificent
roads built by him are found in
Moldavia, Bessarabia. Wallachia
and Bulgaria. He built Nicopolis,
near which the Russians are now
operating. He built great road
along the banks of the Aluta, from
the Danube north to the heart of
Pennsylvania, the remains of
which are yet visible. Thous
ands of Roman colonists were sent
into the new province (Dacia), and
so impressed upon the people Ro-
man civilization that to day the de
scendants of the conquered Dacians
claim the name Of Romuni, or Rou-
manians, and speak a language
which echoes that which was the ia
miliar tongue of Trajan's Roman
soldiers and colonjsts. The col.
umn of Trajan, still standing at
Rome, presents the record of the
Dacian conquest in sculptured Ian
guage from the base to the summit,
a distance of 12S feet Cowrier-Jour.

Fruit Drying.

AS the season for drying fruit is
now at hand, we would call the at
tention of the merchants through
out the State to the Importance of
impressing upon their customers
the necessity of taking more pains
in drying than has heretofore been
customary in this section.
Nearly the entire crop Of dried
fruit is shipped out of the State,
and it should, OF course, be pre-
pared with view to the wants of
the market for which it is intended.
For several years Germany has ia
ken the bulk of Tennessee apples at
low prices, mostly caused by the
bad manner in which they are han
died. Last year the trade with
England increased largely, 12,0O0,-
900 pounds being taken, against a
little over 100000 pounds the year
previous. By putting it in better
shape the demand can be large
ly increased, and better prices OBJ
tanned. Their trade requires them
to be we'll peeled, cored and cut
smoothly into quarters-the larger
the better. Apples should never
be dark, therefore they should be
gathered before they are too ripe.
There were many orders sent to
Nashville last season which could
not be filled on account of parties
specially stating that they wanted
none but bright coarse quartered
apples.
The merchant should sack sepa-
rately the different qualities as to
color and cut, peaches also are re-
quired TO be as bright as possible;
they should be dried in halves, when
it can be done, as they are always
worth from one to two cents more
than quarters, but it is useless to try
to make halves by cutting cling
peaches around the seed, as has
been attempted for year or two
past. More care should be taken
by merchants in preventing quarters
and halves getting mixed. In that
condition they are worth no more
than quarters alone
Blackberries should be perfectly
ripe, and care must be taken to dry
them thoroughly. Keep them
summed for some time after dry ing
or they are apt to mould. If all |
parties interested would bear these
facts in mind the income of Tonnes
see from this source, already large,
could be increased to an almost in
credible amount. There is no 9th |
er point that has been so much |
neglected-that is, proper sacking.
Old sacks should never be used.
Four bushel burlap sacks are the
best for apples. and two bushel bur
lap or corn sacks for peaches.
Pack tightly and sew neatly and
straight with the SEAM r. Sun.

Children. Pay Attention.

We are old, and know some
things, and have forgotten a great
many more. Our text shall be a
short one-it is, pay attention!
1. Pay attention to what you
see. Our eyes were given US to
see with, and thousand things are
around us all the time to look at.
If we would know a great deal, we
must learn to attend to what we see.
2. Pay attention to what you
hear. Our ears were made for
hearing. We may pick up great
deal of knowledge from what we
hear if we will give our attention.
3. Pay attention to what you
read Books are made up of what
other people have seen or heard or
know. By reading, therefore, we
may learn all about the world in
which we live. We may not be
able to go to Europe, or Asia, or
South America. But we can take
our maps and look at them, and
then we can come to know a great
deal about them. Oul sermon is a
short one and we close with a short
application.
If boys and girls would become
wise, and wish to know a great deal,
they must learn to pay attention to
y hat they see, what they hear and
what they read.
Some boys look at ever so many
things, and really see next to moth
ing. Some girls hear much, and it
really goes in one ear and comes
out of the other. And girls and
boys, and men and women, read
many books and remember very lit
tie. They fret and scold about it,
and their memories, when the fault
is their own. They have never
learned to pay attention.

of Honor have proved to the world
that the useful and the ornamental

the benefits offered by close associ-
ations may be practically enlarged
by adding to them real and tangible
benefits. Within the four years of
existence we have, by our peculiar
system, collected and disbursed a
fund that has given to one hundred
and four widows and their orphan
children two thousand dollars each,

LADIES COLUMN.
HARoLINE HAROLD, EDITOR.
Keen Your Promise.

A boy borrowed a tool from 6
carpenter promising TO return it al
night. Before evening he was sent
away on an errand, and did not re-
turn until late. Before going he
was told that his brother should
see that the article was returned
After he had come home he IL
quired and found the tool had not
been sent to it's owner. He was
much distressed to think his prom
Use had not been kept, but was per.
suaded to go to sleep and rise early
and carry it home next morning.
By daylight he was up, and no.
where was the tool to be found.
After long fruitless search he set
off for his neighbours in great dis
tress to acknowledge his fault. But
how great was his surprise to find
the tool on his neighbours door
stone. And then it appeared, from
the prints of his little bare feet in
the mud, that the lad had got up In
his sleep and carried the tool home,
and gone to bed again without
knowing 1t. OF course boy who
was prompt when he was asleep was
prompt when he was awake. Re-
spected while he lived, he had the
confidence of his neighbors, and
was placed in many offices of trust
and profit. If all grown persons
felt as this boy did there would be
good many tracks of bare feet
found some of these bright morn
ings, and what piles OF. books and
tools would be found at their
owners doors.

weed, known to all farmers growing
in barn yards and on road sides.
This l take green, dry it and reduce

the cabbage it would answer the

inent feature in thedescription of our
mountains, rivers and plains. The
accusation is in part just. but we
have right to boast of our coun-
try. America is big, and people
cooped up in islands of small di-
mansions do not seem to understand
the fact. Can they understand that
it requires five days constant rail
reading to go from New York to
San Francisco; that monster ships
navigate our land locked seas, or
that snow eternally caps our West
ern mountains? Can they under
stand that the pine and the palm
grow in the same land, or that,

guages within our borders, one Ian
guage with one accent pervades the
whole country. The country is big
