sadly.
"But it's all right. You and Will

Widows presence with an ioverwhelm-
ing sense Of defeat, but with the very
highest possible appreciation of the
artful devices of widows, and of this
widow in particular, and whenever he
thought of it afterward, that old
deacon's rugged countenance rippled
all over with smiles.

Personal Attention to Business.

Nothing but ultimate ruin stares
that farmer in the face who does not
pay personal attention to the minute
details Of his farm. There are thou
sand small leaks about the manage.
ment Of an ordinary farm, that if not
closely attended to, will surely bring
the most hard working farmer TO
ruin and bankruptcy. A large por-
tion of tho farmers can attribute their
present condition to no other course
than lack Of close attention to the
small details of the farm. Close su-
pervision of the machinery, tools,
stock and their feed, place for eve-
rything and everything in its place.
No hired help is as much interested
in attending to these duties as the
farmer himself--such o course would
in few months or years ct moat, en-
able many farmers who are now on a
down hill grade to again begin to as.
cend, and if persev ,red in will surely
make headway against what would
otherwise look doubtful. Try it once
friends.

Connubial Love.

Save her husband, she really cared
for no created being. She was good
enough to her children, and even fond
enough Of them but she would chop
them all up into little peices TO please
him. In her intercourse with all
around her che @as 80 perfectly
kind, gracious and natural; but
friends may die. daughters may de-
part, she will be as perfectly kind and
gracious to the next set. If the king
wants her, she will smile upon him,
be she ever so sad; and walk with
him, be she ever so weary; and laugh
at his brutal jokes, be- Sue Ii" ever 80
much pain of body or heart. Caro-
lines devotion to her husband is
prodigy to read of. What charm had
the little man? What was therein
wonderful letters of thirty pages long,
which he wrote TO her when he was
absent, and to his mattresses at Han
over, when he was in London with
his wife? Why did Caroline, the
most lovely and accomplished prin-
cess Of Germany, take a little, red
faced, staring princeling for q hus-
band, and refuse an emperor? Why,
TO her last hour, did she love him SO !?
She killed herself because she loved
him SO. She hadth gout, and: would
plunge her feet in cold water In order
to walk with him. With the film of
death over her eyes, writhing in in
tolerable ppin ahe yet had ! d -yi3id
smile and gentle word for her mas
ter. ,rH, go ,;g. ga. -

A Cheerful Heart.

A merry or cheerful countenance
was one Of the things which Jeremy
Taylor said his enemies and persecu-'
tors could not take away from him.
There are some persons who spend
their lives in this world as they would
spend their lives if shut up in dun
geon. Everything is made gloomy
and forbidding. They 60 mourning
and complaining frouii day to day
that they have so little, ami are con-
stantly anxious lest what little they
have should escape out of their
hands. They look always, upon the
dark side, and can never enjoy the
good that is present for the evil that
is TO come. This is not religion.
Religion makes the heart cheerful !;
and when its large and benevolent
principles are exercised, men will be
happy in spite Of themselves. The
industrious bee does not complain
that there are SO many poisonous
flowers and thorny branches in his
road, but buzzes on, selecting the
honey where he can find it, and pass
ing quietly by the place where it is
not. There is enough in this world
to complain about and find fault with,
If men have the disposition. We Of
ten travel on q hard and uneven road ;
but with q cheerful spirit, we may
walk therein with comfort, and come
to the end Of our journey in peace.

Marrow Escape from Drowning.

On Monday last, Mr.. II. II. Hart,
|of this place, and Miss Annie Ander.
son, who resides near here, together
with daughter of Mr.. William Hart,
got into q battcau on Mr.. Dave
Hal, > mill pond for the purpose OF
taking ride. When about seventy
five yards from tho dam the batteau
lodged Oh stump and overturned,
throwing its occupants into The water,
which was about eight feet deep.
They ali went under, but loon rose
70 the surface again. Dir. Hart sup
ported the child, while Miss Ander.
son kept htrself aaoat by holding on
'to'him. Partly by treading water
and holding on 10 the overturned
batieau he managed to keep them
from drowning until another boat was
brought 10 their assistance by MIR.
Youneblood. He had started home,
and was nearly half mile away
when he heard the cries for assistance.
Immediately retra"ihg his steps, be
jumped into a bateau which was
moored some distcncs up the pond,
and went to their assistance. He ar
rived none too soon. MIR. Hsrt was
nearly exhausted. having been in the
water some fifteen minutes before
help came. Mr.. William Hart was
near by when the accident occurred,
but was unable to get the boat. He
tore plank from the head, and
swan out with it 10 the scene of the
accident, where lie arrived a few mo-
ments before Mr. Youngblood. The
Whole party were then taken ashore.

The Situation in Wlashinaton.

The Philadelphia Times snmma-
rizes the outlook at Washington, now
upon the eve OF the meeting of the
extra session of Congress, as follows,
and, judging from the tone of the
press, it seems to voice the public
sentiment Of the country:
The Democrats will pass bills re-
peaiing the test oath, abolishing Fed.
eral supervisors and keeping the
troops from the polls. The Presi.
dents backers--he has many of them,
headed by Stanley Matthews and
Zach Chandler-say that he will veto
the bills. Then the Democrats will
tack them on to the appropriations
and second veto will follow. Then
the Democrats will cut off all supplies
and appeal to the country TO sustain
them. The President will appeal in
just the same way, and it then be-
comes question Of which can dc
the most appealing. This is the pro
gramme laid out. II it isn't broker
by the first of June there won't b,
any money to run the government.

Long and Short SIeepers.
Seamen and soldiers, from hab

Seamen and soldiers, from habit,
can sleep when they will and wake
when they will. Captain Barclay,
when performing his wondrful feat of
walking 1000 miles in as many con-
secutive hours, obtained such mas
terry over himself that he fell asleep
the minute he lay down! Tie faculty
OF remaining asleep for great length
Of time is possessed by some inlivid-
uals. Such was the case with Quin.
the celebrated player, who would
slumber for twenty.four hours success
sively with Elizabeth Oryin, who
slept three-fourths Of her life !; with
Elizabeth Perkins, who slept for n
week at time; with Mary Lyell, who
did the same for successive weeks !;
and with many other, more or less
remarkable. ''"
A phenomenon OF an opposite chac-
acter is sometimes observed, for
there are other individuals who can
subsist on a surprisingly small por-
ton of sleep. The celebrated General
Elliott was an instance Of this kind !;
he never slept more than four hours
out of the twenty-four. In all other
respects he was strikingly abstinent,
his food consisting wholly Of bread,
water and vegetables. In letter
to Sir John Sinclair
by John Gordon, Esq, of Swine,
mention is made of ~ person named
John Mackav, Of Skerry, who died in
Strathnave, in the year 1897, aged
nine;y-one he only slept on an aver
age four hours in The twenty four, and
was remarkably robust and healthy
man. Frederick the Grert, Of prus-
STA, and the illustrious surgeon, John
Hunter. only slept five hours during
the same period. The celebrated
French general, Pichegro, informed
Sir Gilbert Blaine that during a
whole years campaign he had not al
lowed himself above one hours sleep
in the twenty-four. " '-''.. -.

The Chinese In California.

The new State constitution of Cali
fornia, which is to be submitted to
popular vote for approval or ,e-
lection on the first Wednesday in
May, contains, provisions directly
aimed satathe Chinese. II provides
that no corporation now existing or
hereafter formed under the laws of
California shall employ, directly or
Indirectly, in any capacity, any Chi
nsse or Monaghan that no Chinese
shall be employed on any State. coun-
ty, municipal or other public work,
except in punishment tor crime. 1t
declares that tho presence of foreign
ers ineligible to become citizens of
the United States is dangerous to the
well-being Of the State, and that The
Legislature shall discourage their i'm.
migration by oil means in its power.
Asiatic coolieism is forever prohibit.
ed in the State, and all contracts for
coolie labor are declared null and
void. The Legislature is directed to
provide the necessary Legislation 10
prohibit The introduction of Chinese
into California after the adoption of
the constitution. Dennis Kearney,
the "sand.lot" orator, has published
an address approving the new cons,i-
tuition, although IL does not 60 quite
far enough for him, and will stump
the State for its adoption.

Statistics for Girls.

A young English statistician who
was paying court to young lady
thought to surprise her with his i'm
mense erudition. Producing his note
book, she thought he was about to
indite q love sonnet, but was slightly
taken aback by.th following ques-
tion : 3at e.
"How many meal do you eat every
day" ! p1g "a
"Why, three, of course; but of all
the oldest questions"
'"Never mind, dear; I'll tell you
all about IL in q moment"
His pencil was rapidly at work.
At last, fondly clasping her slender
waist, he said:
"Now, my darling, I've got it; and
If you wish to know how much has
passed through that adorable little
mouth in the last seventeen years, 1
can give you the exact figures"
"Goodness gracious What can
you mean?" ~ uln
"Now, just listen," eaid he, "and
your will hear exactly what you have
been obliged to obsorb to maintain
those charms which are to make the
happiness of my life.'
"But / don't want to hear"
"Ah, you are surprised, no doubt !;
but statistics are wonderful things.
just listen: You arc now seventeen
years old, 80 that in fifteen years you

At this the maiden revolted, and,
jumping up, exclaimed:
81 think you are very impertinent,
and disgusting beside, and l will not
stay to listen to your. upon which
she flew into the house.
He gazzedd after, her with an abb
stracted air, and left, saying to him
self:

How Fast Light Travels.

1t takes the suns light about eight
minutes and quarter TO reach the
earth, and we do not see the sun until
about eight minutes after, it has
arisen,while we seeit apparently above
the horizon for the same time after
sunset. If we imagine ourselves
transported to Neptune, the most dis
tant planet of the system, we shall
find that it takes light four hours and
ten minutes to traverse tho space in
tervening between The sun and this
planet. Therefore this long period
must elapse between the real and ap-
parent sunrise on this far-away mem
Der OF the family. AS the sun on
tue boundary Of this domain only
gives out thousandth part Of the
heat and light we enjoy, it is not
probable that The rush G! emigva:::ttas
to Neptune will be very great, OF
least Of beings constituted like those
living on this planet. But it gives al
idea Of the amazing extent of The
solar system, when it is known ,ha,
it takes light, moving with velocity
OF over $4,000 miles per second,
more than four hours 10 reach It's ez-
treme verge. This, co, is but hal.
the breadth of planetary space as
known at present, and light would
require over eight hours to reach the
orbit of Neptune.

Calhoun.

The editor. the Columbia Regis
ter very recently retorted braveIy
upon the New York Herald for MAX
ing. Unjust ~alldsiohs to John C. Cal
houn, and more particularly for sneer-
ipgly >alluding to the great Carolina
statesman as ga half:forgotten politi.
cian." 1t is safe to predict that Mr..
Calhoun's fame will endure with this
republic and beyond it. II will grow
more and more bright the more he
and his work are understood and
properly appreciated. lie was that
rare thing in political life, an incor-
ruptible man, privately and publicly.
Amid the the vices Of these days he
shines like the sun itself, and such
qualities rs he possessed are imper-
ishable, as much 40 as the aohriety Of
Phocion or the wisdom OF Aristitles.
The man who accuses Mr.. Calhoun
Of being anything but q patriot in the
ioftiest sense is either an ignoramus,
knaye or M unscrupulons Bohemi-
IAN. We wonder that the editor of
the Register should, however, have
taken, seriously the structures of the
Herald. When one Of its many
writer's attncked Mr.. Calhoun it
was simply an "off day with a
sheet that boasts of being consistent
in nothing. We dare say over and
over again Mr.. Calhoun has been
treated with ample justice in the same
columns. The recent thrust in that
direction probably came from one OF
the staff recently imported from Eu-
rope or just out Of college. He had
most likely never read one word Of
Mr.. Calhoun's writings, and knew
nothing positive Of his marvellous ca
reer. We. are the more inclined to
believe this when proof is not want
ing that a majority of the men sent
to Congress, In the House and Senate,
never read the constitution of their
conhtry and are sublimely ignorant
of its early history, especially that
portion Of. it which refers to the for
nation of the Union. Ignorance
keeps the country distracted to-day.
If 80 much ignorance is in the very
seat OF wisdom, how shall the Regis.
ter look for knowledge of;home affairs
in the "foreign office" of the Herald !?

The South is waiting most anxi-
ously to see some intelligent colored
man elected to an office of honor and
trust by the Republicans of any
Northern State. Surely there can be
no prejudice against the negroes at
the. North.-and yet there is some
thing suspicious in the fact that no
negro has been made Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, or sent to Con.
gross by the Northern Republicans.
