A Fatal Kerosene Accident.

a small coIored girl, daughter of Rachel Tur-
ncr, was drcadfuly burned on Thursday last
tha, she died in great agony on the following
sunday CorSner Grcer held an inquest on the
body, which eiicitcd the following facts: The
childs mother was away from home, some
miles, and had left the little girl and baby
in charge of an aged coorcd woman. The lat
ter was in the garden, some distance from the
house when she heard the chids screams. On
going toward the house she found the girl lying
10y fence, cnvclopcd in flames and in great
agony. 1t seems that the child attempted to
make fire and finding some live Goals in the
fire place poured kerosene oil upon them
from the oil can. OF course the oil blazcd up
and caught that in the can and an explosion took
place, setting fire to her clothing. Another sad
warning against the use Of Kerosene in making
fires.

The Essence OtFalsehood.

1t should be pointed out with con
tinual earnestness that the essence OF
lying is in deception, not in words;
lie may be told by silence, by equivo-
cation, by the accent on syllable, by
the glance Of the eye attaching Il
peculiar significance to sentence;
and all these kinds of lies are worse
and baser by many degrees than Il
lie plainly worded; so that no form Of
blinded conscience is so far sunk as
that which comforts itself for having
deceived, because the deception wa,
by gesture or 81 ,nce instead of utter
ance; and fiAally, according to Ten.
nysen's irenchant line, "a lie which
is half truth is ever the worst Of
lies. "-Rushn.

Why Farming Does Mot Pey.

We see all around us farmers wear
ing long and gloomy faces, and hear
The TOO oft-repeated remark: "The
times are hard, and farming does not
pay" When farming is So managed
that it will not pay, no wonder that
our country is IN such Il lad condi
tion and times are so hard. But how
are they to bring about change !?
What can they do to make farming
more profilnble2 With the present
management, they can do nothing
nay, worse than nothing. They must
make anew START; for if ever one set
of people needed reformation, is il
the farmers of the South. In the first
place we need more organization, us
there is less Of this among the far
mers than any other class of business
men; we need more farmers clubs"
all over our land and country, moro
aocial feelings, and the experience
and advice of our neighbors, all of
which tend to constitute unity, and
in unity there is bound to be strength.
In the second place, we need farmers
to make laws to govern farmers. 1t
is and has been u blind thing in tho
farmers, to send men to The Lcgisla-
tive halls to make laws, who are, in
many cases, utterly carc'c and
ignorant Of the wants and necessities
ofthe farmer; who look upon f,,l Inning
as low calling, and would not design
to soil their far hands with honest
laLor unon the farm; who think itan
honor not to know a plough from Il
hay-stack; and in the "hiyher circles
of society,"" boast of their pettcd
ignorance. And again, we cultivate
too much cotton, and pay too little
attention to raising corn, small grain
and forage; are too dependent upon
the North and West for our supplies
of bacon, -four, &C., besides feeding
our stock on imported hay, when with
far less expense we could raise its
superior. Another great drawback
TO the farmers, is the present system
Of labor. 1t is a settled faet;t that rs
the produce Of the farm decreases in
value, so must labor; but it seems
that the colored laborcr wont under
stand it, and reasons in thl: way: eff
my work was worth so cents per day
four years ago, Why is it not worth as
much now, rs can do the s anne
amount oflabor l did then" bat they
must be made to see it in different
light from th The farmers ofthis
(Cravcn) country have been paying
80 cents per hundred for picking cot :
ton; or giving as much to nave it
picked now, that is worth about eight
cents per pound, as they did when it
was selling for 15 ccnts- .SJuthern
