Mr.. EDITOR Your paper Is the de-
servedly popular advocate and aid OF
many cultures, much mechanical IN
g%enuity, and many industries, and |
prize it very highly but there is one
culture to which you have not given
much prominence-it is religious, soul
culture. You have field culture, patch
culture, garden culture, orchard cul-
ture, vine culture, cotton culture,
sheep culture, kline culture, hog cul-
ture, horse culture, fish culture, ami
still Others-all good, but none of them
equal to religious, soul culture
a large proportion of your patrons are
unable to take and read more han one
paper; and unless you cater for them
in the field of religion and morals,
they are left without that efficient aid
in the most important of all work,
which a weekly journal may afford.
To raise men and women without re
ligious culture, is to wrong ourselves.
our children and society. | do not
suggest that the general character of
the FARMER AMI MECHANIC should be
| changed, but that a moderate portion
of it be devoted to religious intelli-
gence, and such articles as in your
good judgment you think would in
culcate a sacred regard for the Bible
its reading, study and great worth !;
the Holy Sabbath-its observance, its
value as a guide and comfort in all de-
partments of life Gods regard for it !;
the worship of God, public. social and
private, &c.
1 am glad that your lady correspond
ent, in your last issue but me- express
ed her feelings on this subject, and
that you approved of them and follow
ed them with that excellent article,
full Of fresh thought, by Mrs. G. p. S.
feel sure that you would greatly please
many Of your patrons, by the addition
Of the excellence spoken of, to your
already excellent journal.
Yours, respectfully.

Sleep as a Medicine.

A physician says the cry for rest has
ALWAYS been louder than the cry for
food. Not that it is more important,
but it is often harder to obtain. The
best rest IN from sound sleep. OF
two men or wOInen otherwise equal,
the one who sleeps the better viii be
more healthy and efficient. Sleep Will
do much TO cur irritability of temper,
peevishness and uneaSiness. 1t will
restore vigor to an overworked brain.
1t will build UP and make strong a
weak body. 1t Will eur a headache.
1t will cure a broken spirit. 1t will
cure sorrow. Indeed, we must make
a long list of nervous and other mala-
dies that sleep will cure. The cure of
sleeplessness requires a clean, good
bed, sufficient exercise to promote
WEAKNESS, pleasant occupation, good
air, and not too warm q room a clear
conscience, al avoidance Of stimulantS
and narcotics. For those who are
overworked, haggard, nervous, who
pass sleepleSS nights, we commend the
adoption of such habits as will secure
sleep.-WoonsOcket Patriot.

POETRY.
A Moving Poem.
BY MIRIAM MIGRATORY.


Maud Muller. on "A mild March day.
Vowed she would move on the lst of
May
Rot but the house she occupied,
With modern Improvements. was well
supplied
But wi en- on the paper her eyes she set.
And saw the advertisements TO Let,
Her comfort died, II a vague unrest
And a nameless longing filled her
breast
A longing that well nigh drove her mad
Foranicer house than the n she had =
Larger. cheaper, in better repair:
Five minutes walk from everywhere;
a bias, ment kitchen without a flaw
A room for a husbands mother-in-law;
\ parlor eighteen by twenty-three,
And a sunny airy nursery.
She rented a house by no means bad.
YETI not near SC nice as the one she had;
And hunting, packing. moving day
Were enough, she said, to turn Ii gray;
And as on an u%pturned tub she safe
In the new house-dusty, desolate-
And heard the truckman, not with
care"
Dump a basket of crOckery-ware,
She mourned, like one of hope bereft,
For the cozy dwelling she had left;
And to herself, in accents s%addened,
Whispered softly, u wish | hadn't
Then TO BOSS the truckman she took
her way,
Signing. I'll move again ext May"
Alas for Muller, Alas for Maud
For Clipped yeneering and shattered
gaud.
Heaven pity them both, and pity us all,
Whose wives to questing houses fall;
For of all sad words ever written yet,
The saddest are these This house to
let"
All if the house she occupies
On earth, no woman satisfies,
In the hereafter angels may
Build her one where she'll care to stay.

The English crown diamonds have
arrived at the Paris Exposition, and
are valued at So 800, 900. They are in
a thick iron chest, and are guarded
by sentinels day and night. There is
a diadem of elgnty-six diamonds Of
various sizes IN the middle of which
is the celebrated koh-i-Noor, alone
valued at 1920, 900 also a collar OF one
hundred and eight diamonds, in the
center of which Is an emerald, said to
be the purest and most beautiful ex-
tant. A second diadem is a blending
of diamonds and emeralds. In the
center is the large Kandavassy dia-
mond valued at $500, 900. 1t would
be rated at a higher sum were it not
for a slight defect. These, and many
other valuables of the kind, belong to
the English crown. A portion are
used by the Princess of Wales on
special occasions the others are re-
served for the queen. The kanda-
vassy was formerly the eve OF a one
eyed Hindoo deity, and has been but
lately added to the collection.

Ia welcome to a full share Of this best

I have often observed that North

often late, often slowly, and as If
grudgingly and reluctantly but when
She does. she does it handsomely after
all. So handsomely and thoroughly
we'll hat one is inclined TO forgive her
all the past slowness and apathy.

Mr.. EDITOR: Enclosed I send YOU
two dollars to renew my subscription
to your valuable paper-the FARMER
AND MECHANIC. l wish every farmer
in Randolph county could be induced
to read it, we should have better farm
ing than we now have. Our prospects
in this county are not IS good as they
were a few weeks ago, on of
cold dews and rains: a great many say
rust has been produced. Fruit will
not be as good as was expected, except
peaches; l think we will have plenty
of them. Yours, &C.,

The Fate Of the HatteraS Island
Lighthouse Keepers Pretty
Daughter.

A dispatch received at Tarboro, from
Dare county, under date of the 2oth
instant. contains the following sad m
telligence:
Late yesterday evening Miss Mells-
"a Smith. of Hatteras Island, Dare
county. was drowned from the new
lighthouse, which Is by
wafer. Miss Smith was on the point
of retiring. and had thrown open her
door to get the sea breeze As she
lifted the pillow from her bed 1t ieIi
from her hand and rolled into the
stairway, the slide being drawn, ana
in attempting 10 pick II up she shipped
and fell. her head striking the IRON
steps. She fell into the water, gave
three piercing screams. and was car
ried out by the surf just as her father
came to the door. She was a oeautliuI
girl, the belle of Dare county, II
known as the lighthouse keeper ;
pretty daughter. She was To have
been married on Wednesday. and had
parted with her betrothed only half
an hour before her death.

Cream.

If there is a people on the ace of
the earth who ought to have plenty of
cream. it is an agricultural people
and of all agricultural people should
prefer North C~arolinians to get tie
most that is going. | want them to
nave it; first because | love them sec
ond, because they deserve it third,
because they have always had SO little,
and fourth, because they will i'm
prove SO rapidly on a generous diet.
There is one supply of cream now
getting ready for us all, which is to be
distributed freely this summer as it
an article of cream as any State has
ever provided for her children. and
deserves notice. | wish all who read
. this page of our paper could come up
to Chapel Hill on the 18th of j me
and see the State Normal School open
ed, and take a taste of its quality.
Perhaps some of Il readers would
like to be told something of this enter
prise. l will not object to a little de-
Walton from our ordinary topics of
conversation for once. President Bat
tie showed me last week a large mum
Der of letters received by him from all
parts of our State, making inquiries
about the School-its expenses, and
the aid promised from the Peabody
FIND Tho School connnt hn Zoo
tensively advertised. and l am glad to
devote one of our columns to present
ing it fairly before our circle. Some
of you may have daughters or sisters,
or friends, ready and anxious to come
here, and only waiting for more par
ticular advice and encouragement.
Last summers school was felt to be
an experiment. 1t might succeed,
and it might not. People were incred-
ulous-the news was too good to be
true, and besides there was the good
Cd sound North Carolina argument
against all such Innovations: 't'din't
no use." But it did succeed, and in a
way to astonish its best friends and
advocates. From the first day to the
last every part was a success. and
when the closing day arrived it was
understood beyond a chance of doubt
that the first step of a great move for
waId in educational matters among us
had been taken, and taken we'll and
timely. There has been an abundant
evidence all through the past year
that the impulse given has not subsi.
ded, but has circled wider and wider
influencing all classes of society. L
is as if a breath of life had bee1
breathed over a dead State, and tn,
dry bones We're moving. l venture t,
say that if the postoffices could b,
made to testify they would tell us tina
there has been more writing to an,
fro, about schools, and teaching, an
books and methods, in the past tel
months than in any ten previous year
of u history. No thoughtful or evel
moderately intelligent man or woman
could have listened to Prof. Laid o
Prof. Owen last summer without hay
ing mind and soul both quickened
And # you quicken a teacher, the thri
ar7u go through all has scholars.
This summer will see greater things
please God, than last summer. w
are to have not only some of the bes
who were here then, but a number G
new instructors have been engaged
Chief among these new ones is one i
whom the ladies may be expected t
take especial interest. Miss E, NJ

For downright hollow hypocrisy, the
course of the Republicans upon the door
keeper question in the House bears the palm.
When Gen. Shields was elected to Congress
by some four thousand majority, the Repub-
licans under lead of Ben. Butler kicked him
out. Now they suddenly discover that
he is an old and wounded patriot who
ought to be provided for, and they are
correspondingly shocked at the idea
of selecting former confederate
soldier for an Office. Their memories are so
conveniently brief that they have forgotten
that Grant appointed confederate soldier
Ackerman) to a seat in his cabinet and
that Mr.. Hayes has another confederate,
(Key), in the councils of the nation There
too, was Longstreet, who was most violent
rebel, but who was good enough to be col
lector of New Orleans under Grant, and so
we nigh continue almost indefinitely. Now,
because out of all the Offices at their disposal
the Democrats give one to reconstructed
confederate, there is cry Of treason from
the loyal postmasters. Their game is too
transparent. The Democrats simply refused
to accept Republican dictation, as we trust
they always will.

TIE DUTY OF DEMOCRATS IN I'M
OUT OF CONGRESS-.

T:fE DUTY OF DEMOCRATS IN IND
OUT OF CONGRESS-.
Nothing can prevent the election of
Democratic President in 1880, except DEM
ocrats themselves. There seems to have
been almost fatality attending Democratic
organization. Whether fatality or not,
certainly a want of wisdom and harmony
and good judgment has char
acterized Democratic management
Tilden's campaign, although Tilden
himself had the reputation of being a second
Dean Richmond, a Talleyrand i'll politics, was
a most wretchedly managed affair.
Tilden's optics were bounded by the
boundaries of New York State. He was
nominated becauae it was conceded that he
could carry New York. The South had no
candidate, and the West yielded to New
York. Now just look at the lit
tie State of Florida. Had the
electoral vote of Florida been secured and
counted, Tilden would be President de tacto.
But instead of attending to such an impor-
tant factor in the election, the bloodsucker's
nephew Pelton, and the odoriferous Finley,
and hundred other Migrants stuck to ssmy
uncle,'' relieving him of his ducats, and dis
gushing his best friends into almost satisfac-
ton at his defeat.
The Western campaign was entrusted to
Pelton and Finley. No decent man could en-
dure this exhibition, and the result wasthat
not only in Minnesota, butin Wisconsin, Iowa,
Indiana, and Illinois disgust rendered the best
Democrats almost indifferent.
AS to the future, the South and
West will elect the President. There
will be Texas, Louisiana, Alabama,
Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia
kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas
Indiana, Ohio, solidly Democratic. Now
what are the Republicans going to do about
it? The Democratic party must maintain

a Connection By Mari iaOe.
washington I'd. CO. Herald

"A good thing is told Of one of our city
bellies, Miss L., noted for her wit. Alta din
ner party the lady in question, who is a
daughter of distinguished Judge, was seat
ed next to a gentleman whom she had not
met before, and who was on visit to the
city on business, which had brought him in
contact with the judge mentioned. who had
shortly before decided a case against him.
At the dinner the gentleman, who had not
caught the name of the lady when introduc
ed, took occasion to vent his feelings and
express his opinion of the judge in terms
anything but complimentary. An awful
pause in the conversation indicated some
thing wrong, and the gentleman took occa-
sion to express to the lady his hope that the
Judge was no relation of hers, to which, to
the infinite amusement of all present, she
replied: .sOh, no, only a connection of my
mothers by marriage A shout of laugh
ter could not be prevented, and the gentle
man, after little reflection, came slowly to
the conclusion that the judges family were
too much for him.
