Look into the home of fretful man or
woman, and mark the discomfort, the un-
happiness, the positive misery, they often
cause within its sacred enclosures. Notice
fretful man in his business relations
disagreeable he makes himself to others, and
how much he detracts from his own power
to act coolly and wisely. See such man
in the church-what an amount of friction
and trouble he causes, where all should
work smoothly and quietly, Besides the
rasping and discomfort such a person occs
sions, the example he sets is most PERM
cious. Children easily catch the manners o
their elders, and fretful people have no ont
to blame but themselves if they have worri'
some, teasing, disagreeable children.

The Marquis of LOrne,

The Marquis of Lorne, who has just been
made Governor. General of Canada, is the
eldest son and heir of the Duke of Argyll,
and was married in 1871 to Princess Louise,
the fourth daughter Of Queen Victoria, it
being the first instance of the marriage of a
subject to the daughter of reigning sover-
eign. The Marquis has been in public life
for | , years past, for in 1865, when only 30,
he was returned to parliament as member
from Argyllshire. When his father, in
1868, went into Office under the Gladstone
administration as secretary of state for In
dia, his son acted as his private secretary.
The Duke of Argyll, whose titles descend to
his eldest son, is the most powerful of the
Scottish noblemen. He is hereditary master
of the queens household in Scotland, chan
celor of the university of st. Andrews, a
trustee of the British Museum, and heredi-
tary sheriff and lord-lieutenant of Argyll.

and active, and he has also written an elab-
crate book entitled "The Reign of Law"
His son is also an author, and published
several years ago volume of poems.

About Fall Flowing.

Fall blowing, says the Country Gentleman,
has become 81 universal that it hardly seems
necessary Ia drvJe space to it in these COL
umns. yet the time and manner of doing it
acts an important part in the results of the
future crop. If done early in the fall weeds
are destroyed before the seeds mature and
the decomposition of the vegetation turned
DOWN, becomes more complete before the
time for planting the next crop. If the stub
BILE plowed under is not well decomposed
and the land is planted to cultivated crops,
1t gets raked upon the surface, and in case
the season turns out very dry, the crops suf-
fer from firing But it is better to plow
late than to do no fall plowing at ALL Fall
blowing generally requires less preps-
ration for crop in the spring than that un-
plowed, unless much rain falls, on the first
going out of the frost, to run the ground to-
gether and leave it in baked condition. If
the plowing is done when the ground is dry
and hard the and is less liable to run to-
gether and become baked, than when plowed
in mellow state. For a crop of small grain
fall blowing gives the best assurance for q
profitable yield, the opportunity of early
seeding being made possible, is much in its
| favor. 1t is unfortunate for the wheat in
terests that without early sowing a good
| crop is seldom realized. The frost leaves
the ground earlier in the spring, where the
blowing has lbeen done the previous sea-
son, and is thus permitted to receive the
crops earlier than the land requiring more
preparation. Deep plowing should as rule
be done in the fall, as it is questionable
whether it ever pays upon our western prai
rie soils. With plenty of manure and thor
ough cultivation foot in depth may proba
ably be done with profit, otherwise it il
questionable. A farmer who fails to per
form all the fall plowing he can with prompt
ness, is liable to neglect other importan
work in its season, and thus fails to keep VI
with the times and to realize the best posi-
BILE income. To do everything properly an
promptly Just at the right time upon tn
farm, is sure to bring abundant reward
the laborer. Fall blowing comes at a tim
when there is little other work, which thu
enables the farmer to make use of all othe
8 portions of the year to his advantage.

Winter Oats.

A correspondent in the Cbuntry Gentleman
writes Noticing an inquiry from a CORES.
pondent in your paper of July 18th, as to
winter oats, where good seed could be pur-
chased, and the time of sowing, | would say
that the seeding of winter oats is very com
mon with us, September is the month in
which most of the seeding is done in this
locality, though many seed later and some
even earlier, say the middle of August 1t
is desirable to have the oats make good
growth before the biting .frosts come, but
it must not get into the joint state before
winter, as that would be fatal to it. The
yield of winter oats on even thin land is far
superior to spring seeding and much more
certain ; it stands the winters here as we'll

cold snaps in the spring of the year than
from the excessive cold spells of mid winter.

FlOgging g in Virginia.

The public whipping of white girl by
negro constable at Mill Creek village, near
Old Point, few weeks ago, has naturally
excited much comment in the press, and
the people of Virginia have come in for lib
eral abuse in the radical press. The Post
has taken pains to learn the facts in the
case from residents of the place and eye wit
nesses of the punishment. 1t is true that
young white girl was stripped to the waist
and publicly hogged by burly negro con-
stable while the sheriff of the county stood
by and told him to 1ay on harder but the
white people of the Old Dominion have no
responsibility for the shameful transaction
The justice who tried the girl, and, convict
ing on slight evidence, sentenced her to the
lash is, is carpet bagger named Larrabee,
from Dover, Maine The sheriff is fresh
arrival from some other state, and the con-
stable an ignorant and brutal negro under
the control of the other officers. The coun-
ty is republican, although the white radicals
in the county number less than twenty per-
sons. These few whites from other states
manipulate the colored vote, elect themselve:
to office, and run the affairs of the county tc
suit themselves, regardless of the wishes oi
the men who pay the taxes.
The democrats have monopoly of brain:
and property, but the republicans monopo'
lize the offices. This shameful public fogg-
ing of young girl stripped to the waist be
fore a brutal crowd of negroes and thei
managers is fair sample of the degradation
that such political conditions bring upol
any community so unfortunate as to be thu
situated. The down east justice of the peace
could have sent the girl to Jail, imposed 6
light fine, or acquitted her as he deemed just
but he and his associates wanted to witness
the spectacle of her public beating in stat
of semi-nudity. We understand there is in
tense indignation among all the respectabl
people of Elizabeth City county, and tina
Judge .Larrabee and his negro constabl
are in receipt of many evidences of the de
testaton in which their bestiality is held.
The good people of New England who ha,
INDUCED so freely in unflattering commen
on Virginia and her people in connectio
with this affair have now an opportunity
bestow their wrath where it belongs-on
product of their own peculiar institutions

To Can Peaches.

Procure the largest, finest and ripest fruit
Use granulated sugar, in proportion of half
a pound of sugar to a pound of fruit. Make
the syrup of half a teacupful of water to
half pound of sugar. Let it come to boil
and skim. Have your peaches pared with
silver-plated fruit knife, and throw them
to clear cold water, in wooden or earthe
vessel. Boil the fruit in the syrup until it is
so tender that you can put a broom straw
in it, then skim from the syrup with skim
mer and place IN the cans until they are
quite full. Fill up with the boiling syrup
and Immediately screw on the tops as tight
ly as possible. You will find you have to
screw them on again and again. Look at

On the day that Rarus trotted at Hartford
at least five swindles were allowed on the
grounds, the pool box, the wheel of fortune,
sweat boards, the pill box trick and the SELL
ing of lager beer at 10 cents glass. Seve-
eral venturers lost over 500 apiece at the
wheel in less than an hour. The board was
remarkably well patronized by the unsophis-
ticsted, and the gamblers had all they could
do selling silver to bet with, for bills, of
which they had at the close of the day big
box full. The pill box men would show
three or four empty boxes, and, ostensibly
putting $50 bill in one, offer to sell the
boxes for 50, the spectator seeing corner of
the supposed $50 bill sticking outside. On
opening the box the dupe would find dol
lar bill, A lager man said that their being
forced to buy off the association obliged
them to charge 10 cents per glass.

PRAY FOR OUR LOVED ONES.
BY ANNABEL MORRIS.

BY ANNABEL MORRIS.
They were standing on the sea-shore.
on the bright silvery sands;
He was looking down so fondly
While he held those little hands.
"will you miss me, little sweetheart,
When the summer days are past7
Things we prize are first to leave u.s..
And this sweet dream cannot last.
"Will you think when evening zephyrs
Gently sigh along the shore.
OF the one who. though far from thee,
still will love thee ever more ?"
Two bright eyes were raised In answer,
Sparkling through mist of tears
~ will not forget thee darling
Though our parting be for years.
Though cannot be beside thee,
Nor thy lonely wanderlngs share,
can bear thy cares to Heaven
on the sacred wings OF prayer.
"When the twilight shadows gather,
And the birds have ceased their song,
! will leave the gay and careless,
Leave the busy thvughtless throng.
will seek that lone sweet bower,
Where you taught my heart to love,
There I'll kneel while evening breezes
Watt my prayer to Heaven above.
"Bright winged angels guide thy footsteps
Far from dangers ocky shoal;
Richest blessings strew thy pathway
TO bright and peaceful goal"
When our loved ones leave our fireside
For the crooked paths Of life,
Leave the heart that f,in would shelter
From all sorrow, pain or strife
When our hearts are wrung with anguish
For our dear ones far away,
We have still one blessed refuge,
We can for our darlngs pray.
