Giving ADVICE.

Advice is first-rate thing when the
person giving 1t knows what he or she
Is talking about. But there are vol
umes of advice and counsel which are
utterly useless, and more than useless,
because it is simply the result of an
uncomfortable desire to say something
what makes no difference. Advice,
to be worth anything, needs to be ma
tured in the mind before it is uttered.
1t is altogether better, however, as a
rule, to attend to your own business
and let other peoples alone, unless
You are invited to Interfere. Public
men are especially the victims of the
advice giVer. Every man and woman
in the world think themselves called
upon to give a man who happens to
be in public life sort OF advice, SEEM
ing entirely to lose sight of the very
important fact that any who has mind
enough to attract any considerable
share of public attention probably has
enough to manage his own affairs.
Get your own affairs in good shape
and keep them in it, and do not waste
SO much of life in looking after those
of other people.

Strawberries i'm Barres.

a Cherokee county fruit grower
sends to the Courier the following now
ell plan for a strawberry patch which
he has tried with success in the South !:
Take . coal oil barrel and bore five
or six holes in each stave, commence
ing six inches from the bottom and the
upper one about three inches from the
top, then the rest of the holes equal
distances apart, and so on until the
whole barrel is full of holes, making
from eighty to one hundred holes.
Then fill it close of very rich dirt to
the first tier of holes. Then insert q
good healthy plant into each hole,
just letting the bud or crown of the
plant stick outside of the barrel put
the dirt firmly on the roots, inside of
the barrel then fill up with dirt again
to next tier of rows and then plant as
before, and so On until the whole bar
rel is planted, leaving the top little
concave, so as to hold the water that
Is to be poured into it as required.
Make few holes in the bottom of the
barrel to take off any surplus water
that might accumulate, that it may
drain off.
This is beautiful way of having
neat strawberry patch near the house
or on the porch, making both an orna-
menE and producing luscious fruit.
One hundred plants at a half pint
each plant would make twenty-five
quarts of luscious berries.

Tho beaver gaily climbs to the top

And sounds aloud his clarion notes
In Wild, triumphant glee,
In attitude erect and fierce

And Flaps his tail in the summer breeze
With u loud. defiant shrek.

toms father should be verified. As
it Is, we think it ought not to be Par.
