And he is dead: his race was run
Swiftly; as high bred courser's, DER tn
turf,
IL like some gallant chip, full sailed,
Mid storms, aud tempests, surging surf
But still right onward-braving every i'll,
His course has been, nor faltered once
his feet.
Till death himself hath claimed trib

To great, and grand, inevitable fate.
All, how he battlcd; midst the throngs
of men,
And never once surrendered ohis foes
He triumphed DER misfortune, and e'er
fate,
Taught to respect the fearless. A coun
try's woes,
Oppression, hate, fanaticism, could moi
break, -
Or COW spirit, proudly brave and free
Nor could he learn to bow, and bend, and
sneak,
TO favor, power, positioA: on suppiiant
knee. <*-
He bravely won, and took, whste'r he
had,
Nor asked, like beggar, for his. dues, ~
Stepped boldly to the front, when danger
neared,
Or-God-like-spoke his own, not bor-
rowed, views,
He lived, and died, in highest sense, q

Nor like hypocrite, his part did play,
A slavish public sentiment he faced.
When right-feared not what critics had
to say.
All, how tho shafts of envy, malice, flew,
Around his head; deIraction Gid her

While sycophants and towards, with poi.
sonous breath,

While living; and now scorns, though

True worth he loyed, and virtue too,
But the base ooMnterfeit-of honor, love,

Ah, Carolina, thou hast less worthy sons,

But not for a base, selfish end
His country, kindred, friends, wore all

In him ambition; and he did but lend
To thee and them, his talents, courage, ell;
All, all, ne gave, thy cause to save,
And in return, must he now sink,
Cold, dead, forgotten, in unhonored grave,

The Scientific American suggests
to farmers the following method OF
getting rid olstumps upon their farms;
"In the autumn or early; winter bore
a hole one or two inches in diameter,
according to the girth CT the stump,
and about eighteen iches deep. Put
into it one or two ounces of sa!tpetre,
fill the hole with water and plug it
close. H. the ensuing spring take
out the plug and pour in about a gill
of kerosene oil and ignite it. The
stump will shoulder away, without
blazing, to the very extremity Of the
roots, leaving nothing but the ashes.

What an Old Farmer SAYS.

This is the advice of an old man who
has titled the soil for forty years:
am an old man upwards of three
score years, during two scores of which
l have been rich and have all need; do
not owe dollar, have given my children
a good education, and when am called
away shall leave them enough TO keep the
wolf from the door. My experience has
taught me that
l: One acre of land well prepared and
we'll titled produced more than two that
received only the same amount of labor
bestowed upon both.
z. One COW, horse. mule, sheep or hog
well fed is more profitable than two kept
on the amount necessary to keep one
we'll.
B. One acre of clover or grass is worth
more than two of common where no grass
or clover is raised.
.. No farmer who buys oats, corn or
wheat, fodder, and hay, can keep the
sheriff from the door in the end.
8. The farmer who never reads the
papers, sneers at book farming and i'm
proyements always has d leaky roof.
poor stock. broken down fences. and
complains of "bad seasons
q. The farmer who is above his husi-
hess and entrusts it to another to man

She laughed

as a young girl, and here her mouth was
stopped.
wait no longer" cried John Elwell, and
Margaret felt there was nothing more to
be said.
The dinner party was long in muster
ing that evening. Nellie and Harry
were late, of course, but Aunt Margaret,
who had dressed an hour ago-what
could she mean by keeping the soup
waiting? Even when the truants did
appear they were so quiet that Mr..
Courtenay joked them on their gravity.
1.-The weather must have affected you, p"
he said, ''you are all as dull as ditch
water Bring around the wine, Smith
to the butler.
"You are vexed at me, Aunt Marga-
ret" said Nellie, in the course of the
evening.
"No, dearest, am not vexed."
81 really came in to warm my feet,
you know; and, aunty, dear, l am so
glad; I know all about it. Mr.. Elwell
is the man you ought to have married
years ago, and now you have made 1t up
again and papa is so pleased, and so are
We all.
''It was the parrots doing" said Aunt
Margaret.
''St. Valentines, you mean, and he
managed another match, too, and Nellie
lowered her voice to whisper. Some
how or other L kept stumbling over my
habit as L went up stairs, and Harry was
obliged to help me, and when we reached
| the landing, why"
"Well, Nellie ?"
Harry said he did not think ST. Val
entine's advice should be thrown away,
and so he kissed me-and-and-and We
are engaged, Aunt Margaret"
The double wedding took place early
in the spring, and 1 never heard that
any of the parties ever repented taking
| ST. Valentines advice. The parrot was
always a great favorite with both the
| brides; she lived on to an honored and
respected age, and in the family ever
went by the name of ''Match Maker"

BOWLEGGED JOE.

In the dark and gloomy shadow
OF a cliff in Colorado
Sat BOwlegged Joe, "A cheitan of the Utes;
FroHn as black as French oil backing
Der his features (beauty lacking)
SOmber hung-the buck was mad, you bet your

For his painted, bowling whoopers
Had been scattered by the troopers
In a scrimmage OIL the range an hour before;
And his heart was filled with sorrow,
When he thought that on the morrow
They might come and wax it to the crowd some
more!
Round him stood his warriors savage
Heroes bold of many ravage
On the smoke-house of the settler far below
And their murderous eyeballs gllstend
Ashley silently stood and listened
t. the curses of infuriated joel
Suddenly the chieftan pointed
Skinny finger, ugly JoinLed,
At the homes of settlers far out out on the PLAIN
"There," he cried, ''the pale face dwelleth,
And nv nostrils murderr-r smelleth.
While thoughts of CORY veggeance' FIRE my

With veil that loud resounded
Mid the mountain peaks, he bounded
To his feet, and danced as ne'er ned danced

VAST the war dance he was dancing?
Oh what meant that fearful prancing?
Would he flood that settlers peaceful home with

Was the dance preliminary
To i swoop down from his eyrey-
Or did the aborigine but jest?
Jest? All, no! a thousand swarming
Insects were his bronze hide warming

Farmers Wives.

Did you ever think of the amount of
thought requisite to plan three meals
day for 365 days in succession? To pre-
pare enough, and not too much, and for
those living at distance from the viii
lage to remember that the stock of -four,
sugar, tea, etc., Is replenished in due
time? Do you ever think of the multi
tnde of her cares and duties? She must
rise early to prepare breakfast or oversee
it. Perhaps there are children to wash,
dress or feed and to get ready for school
with their dinners. There is sweeping,
baking, dusting and making beds, lunch
for the men, maybe dinner, supper to be
made ready at the proper time, the wash
ing, starching and ironing of clothes,
the care of milk, including the making of
butter, and cheese, and the inevitable
washing of dishes. In autumn there is
an additional work of picking, preserv-
ing. canning of fruit, drying of apples,
boiling cider. making apple sauce, with
the still unpleasant task which falls to
her lot in butchering time. Then there
is haying. harvesting and sheep shearing,
etc., when more help is needed, bringing
an increase of her labors. Twice year
comes house cleaning. By the way, of
all the foes housekeeper has to contend
with, dirt is the greatest. She naay gain
a acomplete victory and think to repose
upon the semi annual engagements-but
it is only temporary. The enemy soon
returns, aud even daily skirmishes do
not keep 1t at bay.
There is the mending, too. Sewing
machines are great blessings but they
cannot set in patch or darn stockings.
l don't mention these things by way of
complaining of woman's lot in general,
or asking for her any rights which she
does not possess. don't know as there
is any remedy in the present state of the
world. 1t seems to be one of the ills of
he which must be borne as We bear 9th
er ills, but what do ask, is due appre-
citation of the important part that woman
acts, and concession that her labors,
mental and physical, are as great, ali
things considered, as those of the other
sex. Women are not so childish that a
little sympathy now and then, or ac-
acknowledgement of their efforts and sac
rafices, make them imagine their case
worse than this. tell you, men and
husbands: ''It doeth good ike medi-
cine" and many poor, crushed, broken
down wife and mother is dying for want
of it,

Infringement o a Boot Patent.

Buckingham & Hecht, SAYS the San
Francisco Chronicle, have brought suit
i'll equity against Porter, Oppenheimer,
SlnsSInger 4 Co. for the infringement ofa
patent in the manufacturing of boots. 1t
is claimed by the complainant5 that Oh
the 2lst of May, 1873, VIM. K. Miller and
Miller Il. Creighton, of Baltimore, Mary
land, were the Inventors of the patent,
and obtained letters patent therefor on
the 22d of April, 1879. Subsequently, the
above inventors, by a regular claim of as
signment made in writing, conveyed to
the plaintiffs the letters patent and all
rights and liberties by them conferred.
In the face of this state of affairs it is
claimed that the defendants, disregarding
the exclusive right of the complainants,
have manufactured and sold boots, each
of which contained the improvements
and inventions described in the said let
ters patent. In conclusion, the complain
ants ask a decree enjoining the defendants
by an injunction from using the patent
The court is likewise called upon to assess
the damages sustained by the plaintiffs
In the premises by reason of the alleged
Infringement.
Patrick Kelly has filed similar bill in
the same court, says the San Francisco
Bulletin, against the same defendants, to
recover damages for infringements of a
patent on an invention by plaintiff con-
ssting in the combining in the upper
part of CATERS front part of leather, a
middle part of elastic material and back
part of leather. so arranged that the upper
part of gaiter resembied a short boot
leg. Plaintiff also prays for an Injunction
restraining the defendant from using such
invention.
