An old lady Of his sock once called
upon DR.. Gill with grievance. The doc

ideas of ministerial humility, and aftera
long harangue on the sin Of pride, she
intimated that she had brought her
scissors with her, and would be pleased
If her dear pastor would permit her to cut
them down to her notions of propriety.
The doctvr not only listened patiently
to her lecture, but handed over the Of

When she cut them to her satisfaction
and returned the bbs, it was the doc

TraDsvanl THAT Is, across the "Vaal,")
lies between latitude 1921 south and
longitude 1881 east. Its northern
boundary is on the Oori or Limpopo river,
which here runs from west to east; the
eastern Is formed by the continuation of
the Drachenberg mountains the south
ern Is the Vaale river, and the western
an underlined line separating it from the
country Of the Betnanas. The total
area is ll4,3eo square miles, and the
population, according to the official re.
turns Of 1877, is 100000; probably a
rough estimate, from which little can be
known as to the fighting strength Of the
people who have defed the power of the
British empire.
Potscherfstroem, the seat Of govern
ment, Is by land $50 miles northeast Of
Cape Town. The region Is described as
q vast plateau, sloping to the north,
supported by the coast line Of mountains,
which, presenting bold mural buttress,
or escarpment, to the low country at
their feet, stretch away on their western
flank into immense nndulating plains.
At richtangles to the coast range another
belt of very high lands, called the
Magaliesburg, runs east and west, form
ing water shed between the Vaale and
Limpopo rivers. The southern face Of
this range also presents long and
undulating plains, generally well
watered and wooded, and Astounding In
large game.
TO the north, approaching the Linn
popo, high parallel chains Of hills ap-
pear through the openings Of which
flows small streams. The average
height Of the portion Of tue plateau in
habited by Europeans Is from 1000 TO
5000 feet, but many of the mountain
peaks reach an elevation of 5000 or 10,
900 feet, and the part of the year are
covered with snow. The climate Is gen.
orally healthy, though in the northern
section the heat is intense, and during
summer months hot winds aud heavy
thunder storms prevail. The worst fea-
tnre is, perhaps, o fly called Ttetse, the
bite Of which 10 fatal to horses and oxen,

The Beers, though originally pure
Dutch, are now very considerably mixed
by intermarriages with European re-
fugees and emigrants from Cape Colony
and Natal, as well as the natives Still,
the Dutch characteristics largely pre-
dominate, and while the standard of
education is said to be low, the people
know enough to govern themselves and
hate the foreign yoke. In religion they
are Prstestants of the strongest Calvin
istic persuasion, and the Bible and hymn
book are almost their only literature.

Mr.. H. Lienhard, of Handsboro, who
is successful merchant, knows also
how to raise sugar-cane. This past
season he raised on a lot of ground
measuring two and one-ffth acres FIVE
and one-half hogsheads good sugar, and
seven and one-half barrels of molasses.
On another lot, measuring five and one.
half acres, the yield was five hogsheads
sugar and seven and one-half barrels
molasses On the first lot he applied
about 100 pounds Of cotton-seed meal
to the acre and worked the ground WE'LL
On the second lot he applied about the
same proportion Of fertilizer, but it was
not worked as we'll. This Is but another
demonstration Of what can be done on
our pine lands by the proper application
of fertilizers.l

What is there In the city,
To meet the gazers eye,
More charming than our woodland
And lovely azure sky m

Or make better show.

With faces bright and fair,
Their voices ring throughout the house,
Their smiles are sweet and bright
They always look contentsd, too;
Now say, nm not right

Laugh at us when they may;
We would not barter with them,
Not even for day
We'd rather have our rosy checks,
Exempt from chalk and paint
And travel through the muddy roads
without tbs least complaint.
We ride ont in the open mir
With hearts 50 light and gay,
Never think of city folks
On social town soirse

And love the girls "a well

Sag forth their joyful lays,
To cheer the country maidens
Throughout long summer days.

rs rae TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT
a FAIL UREf

The following Is from Wendell Phillips
reply to DR.. Howard Crosby's Boston
Lecture
Before our movement began, three quar-
ters Of the farms In Massachusetts were sold
under the hammer for rum debts. You could
not enter public house In country or city,
except through grog shop. Their guests
felt mean If they did not at dinner order some
kind of wiue, and often ordered 1t when they
did not wish It. The sideboard of every
well-to.do house was covered with liquors,
and every guest was urged to drink, the
omission of which was gross neglect If not
an insult. Now the grog.room is hidden
from sight; men stink into it, and not one in
fifty In common inns orders wine at dinner
Then, no man was buried withouta layish
use of liquor, no stage stopped without the
traveller being thought mean If he did not
help the house by taking drink. Now one
may travel hundreds of miles on railways
which allow no liquor in their stations Them
every farmer furnished drink to his men I;
famous doctors went drunk to their patients !;
the first lawyer of the Middle States was not
singular when he held on to the rail in order
to stand and argue half drink to the Supreme
Court of the United States rich men saw to
1t that every Clergyman who attended a con-
vvntion was piled with wine /; and the preach
er of the Comets ad Clsyum was fed on brandy
punch, to be on a more exhilarated level than
bis hearers. Then, all men held liquors to be
healthy and useful; now seventy out of every
hundred, whatever their practice. deny that
claim, and the upper classes lead the way in
giving up the use. Then, tho medical pro-
fession waded in the same slough ofignorance
and indulgence as their patients; now the
verdict of that profession Is individually and
UNNECESSARILY against the use of Intoxicating
drinks at all In health, and but seldom in
favor of them ia disease
