Sunday Thoughts.

Deeds are fruit; words are butIeayes,
The example of the good is visible
philosophy.
Practice economy and industry and
success is yours.
Believe not i'll Of a brother till it is
proved beyond doubt.
Kindness is the high tide of the souls
nobility.-Fdber.
Following many yocations has ruined
the life of many a man.
There is but one thing that is sure here
on earth, and that is death.
ALI sorrows and joys here are but
temporary, so aim higher than them.
Have one settled purpose in life, and
if it be honorable it will bring you re-
ward.
What is necessary to make one for
bearing? A great deal of good senee
joined to a little piety.-Golden Sands.
Where mortal eyes, looking at the
outward appearance, contemplate only
the frail child of earth, the divine vision
may distinguish an heir of eternal glory,
a son of God yet unveiled.
No great man or woman has ever been
reared to great usefulness and lasting
distinction who was unschooled by adj
versity. Noble deeds are never done in
the calm sunshine of summers light.
He who thinks he loves God enough
shows himself too much a stranger to
that holy sensation; so he who thinks
he has humility enough, shows that he
is far short of the practice of humility.
No grandeur can there be in life, nc
noble prospect can stretch out before us
unless We pitch the tent high, or unless
we keep the lofty places of our spiritual
estate as peaks of vision for frequent
visits.
The great art of conversation consists
in not wounding or humiliating any one,
in speaking only Of things that we know,
in conversing with others only on sub.
jects which may interest them.-Tdca-
ton Days.
The experience of all is that the nearer
we get to Jesus in our daily life the
more there is to cheer and ennoble life
and the more comfort we take in every
earthly blessing upon which we can Sc
cure his b~enediction.
Nothing is more fatal to happiness OF
virtue than the confidence which fat
tiers us with an opinion of our owl
strength, and by assuring us Of tn.
power of retreat, precipitates US int
hazard. To every man there is a poinr
fixed, beyond which il he passes be will
not easily return.-Jhnson's Mler.

of Modelling writes anonymously to the
North German Gazette that ten persons
four of whom belonged to the Berlin Uni
versity, with whom Modelling drew lots, have
quilted Berlin. The writer processes that his
object is to prevent the arrest of innocent
persons, as those he mentions are alone im-
plicated.
A fearful explosion occurred in Evans's
colliery, near st. Helen's, Lancashire. Three

The Florida Committee.

On June 6, in jacksonville, before the
House Committee, A. A. Allen testified:
In November, 1876, was Sheriff of Baker
County; made a canvass with the County
Judge and a Justice of the election; was in
vited to participate with Coke, the Clerk,
but declined.
On the 10th Driggers came to see me, and
said, We're beat if we don't do some
thing" / asked him what we could do.
He said we could make a 1 said we
had no Justice of the Peace. He said he had
one all right, named Bill Green, and told
him 1 would canvass with him and Green.
Met them after dark in the Clerks Office,
and looked over the returns. We decided
to throw away two precincts, Darby
vile and townsville, at the sug-
gestion of Driggers, the reasons given being
that intimidation had been practiced at one
and illegal voting at the other. The intimid.
alton consisted in refusing to let a man
vote. There was no evidence before us in
the townsville Precinct. twas charged that
three or four men didn't live in the county
that had voted. Their names had been
added to the registration list; we had no
witnesses before us. That is all the reason
l know of for throwing out the precincts,
and, of course, the object was to have the
Republicans beat if possible. l suggested
that we should a some afidavits, but
Driggers said we had the authority to throw
out The returns. No irregularity was pointed
out O the face of the returns. The pre-
cincts thrown out changed the result in the
whole county. In making the change it
gave the Republicans the majority. Coke
and Justice had possession of the Clerks
Office all day, and stayed till dark. We got
in by Driggers having a key. Coke was not
there.
In answer to Mr.. Hiscock, the witness
said: "One j. w. Barnett, q Democrat,
asked me to sign Coxe's canvass. 1 said 1
wouldn't. He said if I would there was
some money for me. Asked him how much.
He said $125, and if 1 y would come with him
he would show me the man that had the
money; took me to Paris's store and saw
John E. Hartridge, a Democrat of Jackson
vile, and he said if 1 would sign the return
that Coke made out he would compensate
me for my trouble. 1 told him 1 couldn't;
it1ooked too much like a bride. He said it
wasn't for a bride only to pay me for my

FOR THE FARM.

The Devils Fruit.-Potatoes were
first introduced at Moscow by a Mr..
Rowland, between eighty and ninety
years ago. At first people would neither
plant nor touch them, saying they were
the devils fruit, given to him on his
complaining to God that he had no
fruit, when he was told to search in the
earth for some, which he did, and found
potatoes. A curious Berwickshire le-
gend, which, however, is palpably ana
chronical, attributes the introduction of
potatoes into Scotland to that famous
Wizard of the North, Sir Michael
Scott. The wizard and the devil, being
in partnership, took a lease of a farm on
the Martoun estate, called Whitehouse.
The wizard was to manage the farm the
devil managed the capital. The pro-
duce was to be divided as follows: The
first year Sir Michael was to have all
that grew above the ground. and his
partner all that grew below the second
year their shares were to be Just the OPP
posite way. His Satanic Majesty, as is
usual in such cases, was fairly over
reached in his bargain for the wizard
cunningly sowed all the land in the first
year with wheat, and planted it with
potatoes the second, so that the devil
got nothing for his share but wheat
stubble and potato tops; and this scourg-
ing rotation Sir Michael continued until
he had not only beggared his partner,
but exhausted the soil. In spite of this
legened, however, we must continue to
give credit to Sir Walter Raleigh for
having been the introducer of potatoes
into England. The first that tried
them, we are told, fell into the very
natural mistake of eating the apples
and disregarding the roots.
Farm Pr0ducts.-Farmers of all
men, have the least reason to throw
themselves back on their traces and say.
we will do nothing, or as little as we car
and live. True, farm products do moi
command war prices, and no one expects
to become suddenly rich in these times
from raising wool, or making butter, OF
fattening beef and pork, but there is s
steady demand for all kinds of produce
and generally at remuneratiye prices
Bread and butter are the essentials o.
life. "The king himself is served by
the field. The profit of the earth is fol
ALL" Farmers have a great ~advantag,
in this respect over merchants and manu-
facturers. Fancy goods may be a dru.
in the market, but who can live withou
the products of the soil? All the golt
in California and all the silverin Nevadi
will not suffice to keep the soul ant
body together unless exchanged TO
bread and butter. There is no occupa
ton which is 80 sure of a return fo
labor as agriculture. The risk of manu-
facturers and middlemen is threefol'
that of farmers, but their enterprise i
SO great that they seldom succnmb t
pressure till it becomes crushing.

Aman named Caldwell near Americas, Ga,
killed his wife and three children and his
wife's sister, with a smoothing iron. Failing
to kill himself by leaping into a well and
fir ON the roof of his residence, he finally
