And bore the mothers pride away,
To scenes Of pleasure, homes Of wealth.
Where naught but angels e'er should stay;
But when the youth returned that night
Ills lettering steps proclaimed hs shame,
woman's smile had tempted him,
And with the cup dsgraced his name.

or stock raising than that of Capt, H. +.

dred and sixty acres; part Of which is
situated in the valley and part on the
rolling prairie beyond. On tue north and

winds its way gracefully toward the

OF the farm, At . point Z little further

directly eastward, q high range of. rolling

south to the margin Of the river. A little
back under the shadow of these bluffs is
large grove of timber, boxwood, elm,

background serve as valuable protection
rom the chilling blasts that sweep across
our prairies during the winter. Under
the protection Of these bluffs 1t is Mr..

this point q popular resort for his stock

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR THE GROUND
HoG.-Last Monday, ground hos day,
was waited for patiently by our weather
demonstrators. 1t opened beautifully

a beautiful day. The ground hog, OF
course saw his shadow and knowing that
winter would reign for six weeks re-
turned at once. Scarcely had his tail
disappeared, befour the clouds began 10
be formed and in a short time the rays
OF the sun we're completely buried in the
thichenng mass of clouds. Before
night we had cold Narth East wind
and snow. The snow continued the
greater part Of the night and on yesler-
morning it had attained an average
depth of about six inches, and was still
falling. About A. NJ. the storm CEASE
ed and the sun shone beautifully and
warm.
Some Of our prognoslicators contend
that the appearance ofthe entire ground
hog day is to be taken into considera-
ton, and as the sun shone early in the
the day and it was cloudy aiterward.
we are to have rough weather for only a
short lime. The truth Of this predic-
ton can soon be tested. The number
Of men who predicted severe winter
weather IN February has increased rap"
idly. You now run against them at ey'

The erent of the season in the social
circle Of Woodstock, was a dinner party
a;yen by the young gentlemen OF the
town. at the residence of Judge Bird,
on Friday evening last. The committee
Of arrangements, 10 whom much credit
is due. spared neither time nor expense
TO provide viands to tempt the tastes oil
the most confirmed epicure, while the
members of Judge Birds family left
nothing undone to contribute to the en-
ioyment of all present.
The beauty Woodstock, and where
can prettier ladies be found, was well
reprcscnted and if we are correctly III
formed, impressions were made on
the hearts OF many Of the young gentle
men. the results Of which our readers
will see, at no distant day, in the col'
umns Of the HERALD.
Was il an accident that a half dozen
or more couples found secluded corners
and converscd in whispered tones while
their eyes beamed with love? Is it the
memory of an evening pleasure spent
which still lights up the faces OF some
Of our friends or is 1t something more
Bon voyage, friends.

M1xEp.-A yeung lawyer and a

MIxED.-A young lawyer and a
young physician of this place engaged
the company of two young ladies with
whom they had brief acquaintance to
attend the young mems leap year
party last Friday night. AS long as
they were in well lighted parlor, each
could distinguish the lady whose COM
pany he had engaged, but on leaving
the house, they did not take the pre-
caution to guard against accidents and
each selected his friends partner. The
lawyer attempted TO revive subject
upon which he had conversed several
nights before and finding the responses
not such as be expected, began to sus-
pect that all was not right, and asked II
the lady's name was net the name
of the other lady. Wishing to enjoy
the joke, she gave him an affirmative
answer, and he expressed his delight in
terms that some might consider extra
VACANT and assured her that he was
highly pleased that such was the case,
sc. When he reached the middle OF
the town where the bright light expos
ed the features Of his partner, he fell
that bis expressions had been rather
strong under the circumstances, and Tor
the balance Of the ride he seemed to be
rather tacturn. The Doctor had an eX-
pcrlence some what similar, and has
fully determined that hereafter, he will
not talk unless he is certain that he is
with the right lady.

third Of which ought TO be, and can be saved II
farmers determine to do 1t.
"The gods help him who helps himself runs

II farmers would relieve themselvus Of this terri
bls tax upon their industry, they must learn to

While clamoring for readjustment Of our State
debt that their state taxes may not be INCREASED,
WHY not adjust this fertilizer business, that their
overwhelming private taxes may be largely DE
CREASED No governors vetoes-no decisions Of
the courts--no violations Of the obligations Of
contracts can intervene here to block the wheels

have but to say the word and 1t is done.
! We expect to furnish stockholders with ferti-
lizer above the ordinary standard at from SIS to
s27 per ton and with sufficient capital, at much
lower price than this, and fertlizng material at
lowest ratss considering the quality.
We expect to prepare several different formulas

Iti3an old maxim that everything Is
fair in love and in war. One OF the
officers Of the Anderson Guard has
learned not the truth Of the above max
i'm. but that serious difficulties are to be
overcome both in war and in love.
While marching brayely to the front,
10 meet the rioters, lie was attacked by
= woman armed with shotgun and
butcher knife. she however SATISFIED
herself with giving him "a piece Of her
mnd." lie has since learned that
dangers attend the prosecution Of suit',
not such as lawyers bring in the Clerks
office, but such as lawyers and many
other people bring IN less public places
as well as in the prosecution Of rioters.
Last Saturday night, he, in company
with one of the soldiers who bad been
severely injured in an effort to keep a
ball flying against brick wall, called
upon two fair ladies from Frederick
who are visiting in this neighborhood'
The evening hoHr8 passed pleasantly
and rapidly, aud so unconscious was he
of the efficiency Of weapons more sure
in their effects than rioters bullets,
that he did not know that his eyes were
bandaged until the horse walked oil
while the buggy was hanging to gate.
lie succeeded in breaking the gate and
the buggy. By the assistance OF others
he fixed the buggy so as to haul his
wounded comrade home. Patiently he
trudged his weary way hOmeward, while
his mind was considering The truth Of
the doctrine, that nothing that is worth
having can be obtained without SELF
sacrifice and persistent effort.
