For silence. and for sleep

And sank to sIumbers deep.

And all her timbers strain and cramP
With every shock she feels.

And in its hinged socket turns.

With restless fall and rise,
The steady shaft is still upright,
Posing its little globe of light.

Under the cottage roof again

SLAVES OF OEBT.-It would be curious
sPeGuiation to inquire how long the people
OF Europe will be likely to endure the enor,
nous load of debt under which thew arc
now grooming No one believes that the
principal of the European debts con evor
be paid, and the war System goes on vear
est. If these frequently recurring wars do
not soon come to an end it will be impossible
to pay even the interest of these debts -
Then the great powers of the world will he
reduced to the condition of Turkey and be
compelled to repudiate, and, if thew .se to
war at all, carry it on in crippled and in
efficient way. The on y use of their iptol.
cradle debts, that any one can see, is to COM
pei the nations, finally, to keep the peace.
At present, however, the people of En-.
rope are slaves of debt. All the fruits of
their toll 90 to pay tie interest on The enor.
nous national obligations. A condition of
debt like this is oppressive to all true free
dom and manlness. There as no form OF
stoVe'y more oPprcssiUc to nations or indi-
otduots than that Of debt
The American people should take timely
warning from European examples. Tho
national debt which now exists here should
be paid off as soon as possible. We should
see to 1t, also, that no form Of debt shall
again be allowed to press upon the people.
For this purpose let us avoid, as we would
slavery and ruin, the perpetuation of Sec
tlonal animositics by the fanatics and malie.

lowed up, would involve US again in sec

DIARRHEA IN CALvEs-Calves that
suck are not often troubled with diarrhea,
unless there is something wrong about tho
food or drink of the dams. A handful of
powdered corn bread, which has been
barned or scorched brown, fed to each calf,
will stop the diarrhea for the time, but the
originating cause must must be sought for

REMEDY FOR Cows GIVING BLOODY
MILk:-The remedy for the troubles which
cause bloody milk will depend, in each case.
upon its severity and the cause of it. If
there be no other trouble than that the
milk is discolored if.it comes easily, and if
there be no inflammation, the best remedy
will be aconite. Give twenty drops twice
a day, for four days. If the trouble results
from an actual injury, as appears to be tie
case with your cow, it will be best to trust to
nature for remedy. The diet should be-
OF laxative character. Give no grain
while the trouble exists.
If there is fever existing, the udder be-
ing hot and swollen, and the milk not only
bloody but otherwise disorganized it may
be taken as case Of garget. Draw the
milk frequently by means of tube or quill.
Give pound of EPSON salts in quart of
linseed gruel slightly warmed; and give
one teaspoonful Of saltpetre once week.

COON FARMING

Under this head the Keo,ccc Courier pub
fishes the following compliment to fi,rmer
of Anderson County:
We had the pleasure recently of visiting
the farii, vi Mr.. r. III. Morris, who lives near
Sandy Springs, Anderson County. Mr.
Morris gave us some facts concerning his
farming last year, which we take pleasure
in publishing, in the hope that it may stim-
ulate some of our Oconee farmers. In 1875
off of one acre of ground Mr.. M. produced
S23 bushels of wheat, weighing 62 pounds to
the bushel. After the wheat was harvested
he planted tho same ground in corn, and
gathered therefroni &c bushels, weighing 60
pounds to the busha, and 364 pounds of fod-
der. The total value Of this crop, including
wheat, corn and fodder, was $3.50. The
cost of production was $28, leaving q net
profit off of one acre of $3.50. Upon anoth-
er acre the same year he produced II bushels
of wheat, IL bushels Of corn, I3 bushels of
peas, 150 pounds of fodder and GOO pounds
of pea vines, the total Talue of which was
$3.50. The cost of production was $40,
leaving net profit Of S47.50. Total profit
off of two acres of lalrd tine same year $115.
Mr.. Morris also inforcied US that on the 25th
of June he sowed broadcast eight acres OF
stubble land in speckled peas ut the rate OF
ii bushels g the acre, and that he gathered
therefrom nine bushels per acre. Can any
of our Oconee farmers beat this E? If they
can, we would be glad to hear from them.
1t beats cotton planting all to pieces. Mr..
NJ. q present crnn nf wheat, although injured
considerably by the late hal! storm, will
make an abundant yield One acre We think
will turn out as much rs 25 or 50 bushels.

DEATH OF an ExoErrEur Lady.

IL Is with deep regret that we perform the
sad duty of chronicling the death of Mrs.
john 3. Breazeale, formerly Miss Beilotte,
OF Pendleton, which occurred at the resi-
dence of her husband in this place after an
illness of q little more than one week.
Mrs. Breazcaic was an estimable iady.
possessed of all those gentle and noble traits
which endear q true woman to her relatives
and friends. In all Of the relations of life
she attracted by her quiet grace and domes-
TIC virtues the friendship snd admiration of
those with whom she was associated. A
devoted wife, fond and conscientious
mother and q true friend, she leaves by her
death vacant seat around the hearthstone
which husband and children, relatives and
ffieHtis wiH sadly mourn Mrs. Brcazealc
ut the time Of her death was in the morning
OF her womanhood, with bright prospects of
life before her hut the reaper came, and
the happy home has been left desolate. It
must, however, be source of consolation
to those who mourn her death to have the
assurance that they weep not as those with
out hope, for the deceased was pure, chris
tian woman, whose death was calm and
composed. A member of the Baptist Church,
she was conscientious and devoted chris
tan, whose faith gave her power to bid
adieu to her loved ones, and to meet death
with smile rs remorseless and beautiful as
that which invokes slumber as a rest for
physical fatigue.
The funeral services will take place ut the
Baptist Church to-day, where many of the
friends and acquaintanees of the deceased
will assemble to pay the saddest of earth's
tributes to q departed friend.

as into another hpds forit docs potgecpbe
much sagacity to perceive the selfshnass Of
this plan. Another reason why the law
should net be passed is, that howic4crstrong
the fence may be, We very frequently have

pose this occurs ct night, all tho stock il at

which no farmer can do fssf
Much more might be said against the
