HON r.

It's whispered in the ear of God,
'Tis mprmured through our tears;
'Tis linked with happy childhood days,
And blessed in ripper years.
That hallowcd word is ne'er forgot,
No matter where we roam,
The purest feelings of the heart
Still cluster round our home.
Dear resting place, where weary thought
May dream away its care,
Loves gentle star unyails her light,
And shines in beauty there.

The silver Dollar.

The Secretary Of the Treasury ut
Washington issued orders fcw days
ago that ali Government employees
must be paid ten per cent. of their
salaries in the standard silver dollar.
This order was oboycd at Washing.
ton, but some assert, however, that il
may be construed 10 mean all Govern.
ment employees throughout the coun-
try When we effect how many per
sons are in the employment of the gov
ernmcnt in every State and county,
the vast amount Of these dollars to
be soon put upon the country, can be
realized. It is said that the banks
in Washington, and if true, it will
be the case in every city, will not
take them, which will have the effect
Of putting them on the trade at a
rninous discount. It matters not
what may BE- the effect Of this vast
amount of silver upon the market,
the mere fact of forcing the payment
of its debts by the government in a
currency that docs not circulate at
l'par, is discrcditablc 10 the govern
ment as well as ruinous to the poor
who arc thus defraudcd of portion
Of their hard earnings. 1t were infin-
itcly better 10 pay these creditors in
currency they might elect, than for
The government to incur the charge
Of fraud. Such however will be the
result Of every policy not based upon
honesty whether adopted by govern
ments or individuals.

Editor Crangeburg Democrat
Allow me, sir, to state in your val
nable paper that our worthy School
Commissioner visited the schools last
week in Elizabeth Ta~nahip and 10
our surprise, seemed to take great
interest in speaking to the children
on the subject of education. We were
delighted with his kind advice con-
corning the moral conduct of the
school, dwelling especially upon the
duty Of teachers TO instruct the Chill
dren about God and to do all they
can to bring them up in His fear and
admonition. Upon the whole, we
MUST give our present School Com
missioner great credit for taking so
much interest in the colored children,
as he seems " know their needs and
is willing to supply them. Some time
ago we were asked, if that "Qemocrat
School Commissioner" recognized
colorcd people?" Our reply was cut
phatically: eyes, more 60 than all
the Radical Commissioners put to.

School Commissioner, Mr.. ID. l..
Connor, for his kind attention and
valuable instructions to both teachers
and children The colored schools
seem to receive more attention from
him, if that be possible, than the
white schools. Under his direction l
feel satisfied that the free schools will

days-some fields he has plowed eight
times during this season-regulating
the manner of working by the neces-
sity of the crop and state of the
weather.
Ills corn is manured all round with
twenty bushels of cotton seed per
acre, which will give him a general
average OF twenty bushels of grain
per acre. His cotton is munured &C.
cording to the productiyeness OF the
land, using howeyer an ample supply
ut stable manure on lands liable to
rust. In one field he put six two
horse wagon loads Of stable manure
to the acre. This is big best field and
will yield On some acres two bales
per acre. In another he put the same
amount Of stable manure and cotton
seed mixed. This is his second best
field, but little, if apy, inferior to the
first. in third, Ae used fifteen or
sixteen bushels of cotton seed and
seventy.fiyc pounds each of Atlantic
phosphate and acid ; and in fourth
the same fertilizers except German
Salt is used in the place of acid. In
one barren belt, where the soil was
too poor TO pay for cultivation, most
excellent cotton is produced by broad
casting onc-third more of stable ma

here that MIR. Dukes pea crop is very
unpromising which fact he attributes
to constant manuriDg corn with cotton

from that of Mr.. John Dukes in the
