TWO OF THEM.

In the farmhouse porch the farmer sat,
With his daughter having cosy chat;
She was his only child, and he
Thought her as fair as a child, could be.
A wee bit jealous the old man grew,
II he fancied any might come to woo;
His one pet lamb and her loving care
He wished with nobody else to share.
"There should be two of you, child" said he
'There should be two to welcome me
When l come home from the field at night;
Two would make the old homestead bright.
There's ueighbor Grey with his children four
To be glad together. Had / one more,
proud old father I'd be my dear.
With two good children to greet me here"
Down by the gate meath the old elm-tree
Donald waited alone; and she
For whom he waited his love-call heard,
Aud on either cheek the bushes stirred.
"Pather," she said and knelt her down,
And kissed the hand that was old and brown
"Father. their may be two If you will,
And I-your only daughter still.
1.-TWO to welcome you home at night;
Two to make the old homestead bright;
land somebody else" 81 see.''
Said the farmer; land who may somebody be?"
Oh, the dimples in Bessie's cheek
That played with the bushes at hide-and-seek
Away from his gaze she turned her head,
"one Of Neighbor Grey's children" she said.
"H'm r. said the farmer; "make it plain;
Is it Susan, Alice or Mary Jane?"
Another kiss on the aged hand.
To help the farmer to understand ~.
"H'm" said the farmer; yes l see;
1t is two for yourself and one for me-"
But Bessie said "There can be but one
For me and my heart till life is done"

A GOOD TEACHER.

A truly good teacher is cheap at any
price. A poor one is dear at any price.
So, too, if good one be necessary in
any school he becomes equally necessa-
ry in every school. Hence two thou
sand competent teachers are necessary
to supply this country alone. To pro-
vide such host of skilled educators is
far more difficult task than to raise,
equip, discipline and support an army
of equal numbers. 1t is, moreover, a
more important undertaking, and neces-
saryily involves a far greater expendi-
ture of time, labor and money if it is to
be well done. True teaching or edu-
cational power is not and cannot be a
cheap commodity, because it is not only
rare but is a more difficult ond higher
order of work than any other confined
to human hands. The tiller of the soil
the artifcer in wood and iron, or even
the painter and sculptor, with all their
delicacy of conception and refinement of
touch. have an easy task in comparison
with the true educator who works upon
the subtle forces of mind and spirit.
seeking to mold his precious materials
into the divine symmetry, unity and
beauty Of perfect character. If high
order of talent and skill be required in
these lower, perlshable forms of human
workmanship, how much more should
be exacted of those who labor upon i'm
perishable materials, and are thus shap.
ing the characters of beings destined to
life that knows neither limitation or
decay.

The almighty dollar is almighty hard

The almighty dollar is almighty hard
to get.
We personally know of three devoted
five dollar bills which have been cele-
brating lent for quite long while.
When we see a man continually ped
ding his religion about the streets, we
are forced to believe that his heart is
too shallow to hold it.
"YOu ought to husband your coal
more" said charity woman. II al
ways does" II makes him sift ashes
and pick the cinder," was the reply.
1t is because he has heard that close
attention to little things makes the sue
cessful business man that the young dry
goods clerk takes care of his NOUS
tache.
Phil, my Jewell" said Pat, "I'm
mighty sorry ye can't dine with me to-
day." "Arrah, and why can't / dine
with ye 2" said astonshed Phil. "Be-
cause, my dear" returned Pat, 81 haven't
asked ye as yet"
A widower had five grown daughters
who wouldn't let him take second wife.
He gave up the wife but bought a saw
age dog and now won't allow a man to
cross his door sill. If he can't marry
the girls shan't, he says.
An Irishman noticing lady pass
along. espied two strips depending from
under the lady's cloak. Not knowing
that these were styled sashes, and in
the right place he exclaimed, "Falth,
ma am, yous galluses are united"
An eccentric genius improved on the
old yarn to the effect that 1.-THE weather
would have been colder if the thermom-
eter had been longer" by saying he had
been where 'it was so cold that the
thermometer got down off the nail"
A little girl was asked by her mo.
ther, on her return from church, how
she liked the preacher. Didn't like
him at all, was the reply. "Why p"
asked her mother. "'Cause he preach
ed till he made me sleepy, and then hol-
Tered so loud he wouldn't let me 90 to
sleep"
When you see a young man sitting
beside much banged or frizzed young
lady in a railroad car, or theatre, and
his arm sort of instinctively crawls
around the top of her seat in close prox-
unity to her dollar store necklace and
back hair, you may feel assured that he
is not her brother. And the chances
are less than one hundred that they are
married.-NorrtStoacn Herald.

How TO FOLD CoAT.-We often see
a good, new coat so wrinkled and creased
by careless folding as to look quite shah
by. To fold a coat properly, and so
avoid this, proceed as follows: First
spread it on the table, double the left
sleeve from the elbow toward the collar; /;
the other the same way; then the left
lapel over the sleeve as far as the back
seam, and the other in the same manner.
Next, turn up the left skirt SO that the
end may touch the collar; do the same
with the right skirt. Give it a light
brushing all over, and then turn one
half of the coat even over the other half.
Folded in this manner, the coat may be
put into trunk, and will keep smooth
during journey of any length.

USELESS ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

The true girl has to be sought for.
She does not parade herself as show
goods. She is not fashionable. Gener-
ally, she is not rich. But oh ! what a
heart she has when you find her SO
large and pure womanly. When you
see it you wonder if those snowy things
outside were women. If you gain her
love your two thousand are millions.
She'll not ask you for a carriage or first
class house. She'll wear simple dresses,
and turn them when necessary, with no
vulger magnifcat to frown upon her
economy. She'll keep everything neat
and nice in your sky parlor. and give
you such a welcome when you come
home that you'll think your parlor high
er than ever. She will entertain true
friends on dollar, and astonish you
with the new thought how happiness
depends on money. She will make you
love home Gf you don't you are brute)
and teach you how to pity, while you
scorn poor, fashionable society that
thinks itself rich, and vainly tries to
think itself happy.
Now, do not, pray you, say any
more, 81 can't afford to marry" Go,
find the true woman and you can. Throw
away that cigar. be sensible yourself,

A BOYS DENTAL EXPERIENCE 1t was
a little eight year-old boy of Schuyler
Falls, who struck his first wave of troub-
lie few weeks ago. He had the tooth
ache His fond parents urged him to
"have it out At first he refused to
entertain the proposition. Somehow
perhaps by intuition, he had conceived
the idea that pulling teeth hurt. O.,
no, his fond parents said it wouldn't
hurt at all he would hardly feel it /; it
had no roots it just stuck to the "goom"
etc. This is way some parents have.
Finally he consented, on condition that
he should have lots of candy. So his
father took him to the old doctors Office.
The boy was in excellent spirits, and
the kind-hearted doctor praised his grit
as he disguised the fulcrum of his "turn-
key with his pocket handkerchief. The
patients mouth was opened willingly.
the old hook was introduced, and after a
tremendous tug the big double tooth was
ripped from its moorings The boy was
astonished, and to say that he yelled
and hollered, and screamed and tore
around, but feebly expresses the thing.
Then he seized his cap and started fol
the door. "Hold on" cried the father
''ain't you going to pay the doctor q
"Gaul dunn him!" came back in broken
tones as the door slammed. "I'll pay

paper.

paper.
The DAILY CHRONICLE, and
WEEKLY Wing AND Chronicle,
will be kept up during the year
1879 to their usual high standard.
By enterprise, accurateness, and
close attention to the wants of our
readers, we hope to merit contin-
uation of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three in
the South, we commenced the pub
LEGATION of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we have battled for Re-
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
a truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the OutspOken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party.
We will endeavor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
AS a newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our telegraphiC dis
patches from all parts of the world,
our readers shall have the benefit of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infor>
nation is obtained,
Each number of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish paper that may be taken
without question within the sacred
precints Of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made entire
ly correct and reliable.
We call upon all persons inter
ested in the publication of our in
fearless, reliable Repub
lican journal to come to our aid and
assist in extending the circulation
of the DAILY CHRONICLE and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE.
In view of the financial pressure
upon the country and the general
reduction of values, we have decided
to reduce the price of the WEEKLY
WING AND CHRONICLE to suit the
times. In the future we will send
our weekly paper to subscribers on
the following.
