The Peanut.

Boys and girls are in terested in pea
nuts, Judging from what may be seen
often in the steam cars. No COW thinks
more of her cud than dees the average
young American of these handy sweet
meats A gentleman of South Boston
sends to the Press of that city some ac-
count of that popular nut: 'sThe uues-
tion has often been asked how and when
did peanuts first appear in this
country2 About forty years ago. the
writer was in Wilmington, North Caro-
lima, and became acquainted with a gen
tleman, who in speaking of peanuts, said
that he believed he was the first person
who introduced them into North Caro-
lima; that when quite a young man. he
went on board vessel that had put into
Wilmington IN distress, and he saw for
the first time some nuts in BAGS. and
they told him they came from Africa,
and were known as pea or ground nuts.
They gave him few handfuls, which he
planted, and as they increased. they were
scattered around and became a staple
article of culture. Certain it is, that at
the time referred to, the cultivation of
peanuts was almost wholly confined to
the southern part OF North Carolina. The
production has rapidly increased, and
they are now raised in large quantities in
most of the Southern and many of the
Western States, and are now considered
as one of our prominent and staple
articles of agricultural products. During
the civil war, the Southern people made
a very nice kind of oil from the peanuts
and we have been told that in the warm
countries east of us, when the olive-oil
crop fails. this oil is made to take its
place.

The Bird That Wouldn't Sing,

A little bird upon his nest,
In pretty plumages gaily drest,
Made up his mind, one summers day,
He would not sing his roundelay,
Oh, he was such a lazy thing!
He couldn't sing.
He wouldn't sing.
While other birds around him sung,
He sat aloft, and held his tongue.
The zephyrs came and shook the tree,
And there as rude as they could be;
But, though they ruttled up his crest,
They could not drive HIM from his nest.
Oh, he was such a naughty thing!
He couldn'tsing,
He wouldn't sing.
While other birds around him sung,
He sat aloft, and held his tongue.
His little mate, so trim and neat,
Flew off and brought him bread to eat,
Which made the other birds declare
He should not have his bill of fare.
For since he was lazy thing
49, Who couldn't sing,
And wouldn't sing,
They wouldn't stay and see him shirk,
And let another do his work.
They twitted him; they flouted him;
And then at last they routed him,
And chased him all along the sky,
Until he'd hardly strength to fly,
And then the naughty little thing
Who couldn't sing,
And wouldn't sing.
Trilled forth, like an obedient bird,
The sweetest song you ever heard.
So loud and long the clarious note,
He very nearly cracked his throat;
Nor, since he had been forced to sing,
He maent to over do the thing.
Oh, wasn't he naughty bird!
Upon my word,
Twas quite absurd!
And still he sings at the tree top,
As if he never meant stop.

action of the dog, took his lantern and,
with the dog running on before, went

men running from the track into the
woods, and, near by, ties were found so
fastened upon the rails as to be sure to
wreck the approaching train. He had
only time to hasten back to the station,

and give the warning signal.

OleO11larGariNe.

A :spasmodic attack of oleomargarin
upon the brain has again afflicted the
wise man Of the american Agricuztuqlst.
He laments the supineness Of our dairy
men in allowing this compound of"waste
fat" to fitch away their markets custo-
mers. Ever since this product was first
made in this country the Agricuzturist's
wise man has periodically permitted his
| wailing to be heard over the length and
breadth of the land, upon this fruitful
theme. He has abused the article and
abused all those who refused to abuse it
with him. He says that ",eaders in dairy
conventions have glorifed and advertised
the stuff, and professors have essayed up
on it, and proved in the very teeth Of its
natural opponents that it was really as
good, If not better, than genuine butter"
That the wise mans statement in this be-
half is true to certain extent, and can
not be doubted by any one who has at
tended our dairy conventions for several
years past. In view Of such facts, per
haps it would be wise for the wise man to
show his authority for condemning the
product. The leaders and professors
spoken of are themselves manufacturers
OF genuine butter: and, according to the
wise man, natural opponents of oleomar-
ga1ine. How, then, can he reconcile his
condemnation with the Qualification re-
ceived by the article directly from the
hands of its !<natural opponents9"
But with one mastery sweep Of his
powerful pen he brushes aside the leaders
and professions Of the dairymen, who ac-
tually produce genuine butter and who
should be first to complain, and enters
his protest behalf of what he is pleased
to term "the innocent consumers.'' what
ever that may be. He talks learnedly of
rendered fat and sour MILK but fails
utterly to mention the fact that the OLE
omargarine factory of the present day is
cleaner, as rule, than the average dairy
where genuine butter is made He for
gets, also, that the laws Of this State
compel every manufacturer and vender
OF the article to brand it with its true
name that nobody may be deceived. He
losses sight of the further fact that nine
tenths of the consumers of this horrible
product cannot distinguish its difference
from genuine except as to the price, which
them an important advantage.
Neither leaders nor professors nor any
other sane man will pretend the olemar
garine is as good as genuine butter, nor
can they deny that when probably man
ufactured, as it now generally is, it is an.
excellent substitute for butter to those
whose means will not permit the pur.
chase Of ssgilt edge" This matter Of pro-.
tecting the innocent consumer and max
ing cheap capital for himself is no new
instrument for the wise man to play up
on, and he has grown quite proficient
from lone nrat;ce zs3 af$s.&
