NO TIME FOR HATING.

NU lm T. oIh Ia AN0s
Begone with feud away with strife;
Our human hearts unmating!
Let us be friends again! This life
Is all too short for hating
SO dull the day, so dim the way,
So rough the road we're faring-
Far better veal with faithful friend,
Than stalk alone uncaring!
The barren fig, the withered vine,
Are types Of selfish living;
Butsouls that give like thine and mine
Renew their life by giving.
Whilecypress waves DER early graves,
On all the way we're going;
Far better. plant, where seed is scant,
Than tread on fruit that's growing.
Away with scorn since die we must
And rest on one low pillow
There are no rivals in the dust
No foes beneath the willow.
So dry the bowers, so few the flowers
Our earthly way discloses,
Far better stoop where daisies droop
Than tramp DER broken roses
Of what are all the joys we hold
Compared to joys above us! ...r
And what are rank, and power and gold
Compared to hearts that love us?
So fleet our years, so full of tears,
So closed death is waiting;
God gives us space for loving grace,
But leaves no time for hating.

A STRANGE CR1ME.-We gave last week,
as We had gathered it from persons from the
upper part of the county, story Of the hang
ing of child, Of the name of Brown, by his
uncle, on account of its habit of eating dirt.
That story was incorrect in material points,
and We give here the correct version of the
occurrence, as it has been told within the past
few days, by parties who were from the i'm
mediate scene:
Absaom Brown, widower, living near
Vernon church, Union Grove township, went
away from home leaving his three children
alone on the lot. The youngest of these chill
dren, boy aged some three years, has all his
life been weak and sckly, and the two older
children, boy and girl. the eldest about
ten years of age, conceived the idea of put
ting him out Of the way, since he had fire.
quently threatened to die, but yet lived on
miserably. They accordingly tied rope
around his neck and swung him up to the
jost of the house, where he was found few
minutes later by colored woman of the
neighborhood, who passed throug h the lot on
an errand to another neighbor. This woman
cut the child down and laid it on the bed,
when it began to gasp and finally gained con-
sciousness. She then went her way, and re-
turning homeward sometime later, stopped
again at Browns house, when she ascertained
that the brother and sister had taken the
young child off of the bed, carried it out be-
hind the garden and buried it. She FASTENED
to the spot of the burial, dug up the
child, carried it to the house, and had the
satisfaction of seeing it again return to
life under her treatment. Her good off,
ces, however, only postponed the end
little. The shock to the delicate brothers
system was such that on the Sunday succeed
ing his execution and burial, he died surely
enough.-Statesuille (N. CO. Landmark.
A STRUGGLE FOR ExIsTENCE.-With many
of the settlers of the Northwest, the past win
ter has been prolonged struggle for existence
against the elements. A German farmer two
years ago took up 100 acres Of land near Big
Lake, Dakota. Last year he raised wheat
on 60 acres, getting 25 bushels to the acre, and
received 81 200 for it. Laying in what he
considered an ample supply of fuel out of
these proceeds, he set his house in order for
the winter. Two other families decided to
leave their own houses, and lodge with him
as a measure of mutual protection and com.
fort. Very soon the ample supply Of fuel
was all consumed, and the three families had
to bestir themselves to keep from freezing.
They dug railroad ties and telegraph posts
out of the deep snow and burned them. At
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1881-06-09

ter this sourceyof supply had been exhausted,
the two families that had quilted their own
houses were compelled to take part in tearing
them down and the wood work went the
way of the other fuel. Next followed the
furniture. A neighbor named Becker finally
harnessed FIVE strong horses to his sleigh to
force his way to the nearest railway station
for load of coal. He was caught in snow.
drift, and two days later was found frozen stiff
in his sleigh, his dog dead and lying upon
him, and the five horses standing dead 10
their tracks. His body was taken to his
family, nailed up in box, and placed in the
grain loft, to be kept there until the ground
should thaw sufficiently to allow of his burial
Another family of the neighborhood was saved
from starvation by making soup of an OK
skin.

TRANsPLANTING IN THE NIGHT.-A gen.
tleman, anxious to ascertain the effect Of trans
planting by night, instead of by day, made
an experiment with the following results
He transplanted ten cherry trees while in
bloom, commencing at four o'clock in the af-
ternoon. Those trsnsplanted during the day
light shed their blossoms, producing little or
no fruit, while those transplanted in the dark
maintained their condition fully. He did
the same with ten dwarf trees after the fruit
was one.third grown. Those transplanted in
the day shed their fruit; those transplanted
during the night perfected the crop and show
ed no injury from having been removed.
With each of these trees he removed some
earth with the roots. The incident is fully
vouehed for, and if few similar experiments
produces like result, will be strong argu-
ment to horticulturists to do such work at
night Cabinet.
DIsINFECTANTs.-Ast the warm weather
appears, disinfectants will be needed. Lime,
plaster, charcoal, dry earth, and sifted ashes
have value, chiefly to be tested by the rapid
ty with which they correct odors. Fresh
slaked lime should be scattered in all places
of foul odor. 1t or charcoal or plaster may
be scattered over heaps emitting foul odors.
Calx powder is made by pounding one bushel
of dry fresh charcoal and two bushels of stone
lime and mixing them, and is of great prac
tcal use. All these substances absorb foul
gases and dry up moisture, and so help to re.
tard decomposition or else absorb its results.
Where lump charcoal is used, it may be re6t-
ted for use by reheating it. Quicklime and
ground plaster should not be used where they
may be washed into pipes and form lime.soap
or obstruct by hardening.

been unprecedented. No other brand of

which has ever since been the recognized
standard for machines.

in mixed schools girls obtain the FIRST places
up to the age of twelve. The inferior tissues
and organs develope before the higher ones,
and the brain is the slowest of all organs to
develop. NJ. Delaunay concludes his paper
by stating that the precocity of organs and
organisms is in an inverse ratio to the extent
of their evolution.-Sanitarian
CURIOUS HAB1rs.-Great men often fall
into curious habits, which they find it impos.
sible to conquer. Augustus Hare, one of the
ripest scholars in the English pulpit, and
refined gentleman, when he had ended train
of hard thinking, would spin around on his
heel few seconds and then resume work
again.
Neander, the famous church historian,
could not lecture to his students dhless he
had goose-quill to pull to pieces as he talked,
and it was necessary to supply second quill
when the first was completely " stripped.
William Wilberforce became so absorbed
in conversation in evening companies, as
wholly to forget himself. He would lift HIM
self from his chair in his earnestness, move
forward little, and gradually approach per-
ilously near to the edge. 1t was tradition
in fashionable English circles that he had
fallen several times to the floor. But in
families where be Was loved. it was the Gus.
tom to station one of the older children be.
hind his chair to move it forward as he moved

tanned among the pleasantest memories of
their childhood the recollection of the services
rendered to this brilliant and eloquent con-
verser.

PREcocrrY A SIGN OF INFERIoRITY.-M.
Delaunay, in communication to the French
Societe de Bioiogie, has advanced the opinion
that precocity is sign of biological inferior
ity. In support of his position, be adduces
the fact that the lower species dsvelope more
rapidly, and are at the same time more pre-
cocious than those higher in the scale. Man
is the longest of all in arriving at maturity i;
and the inferior races of men are more preco-
cious than the superior, as is seen in the chill
dren of the Esquimaux, negroes, Cochin Chi
nese, Arabs, Japanese, etc., who are, up to a
certain age, more vigorous and more intellect
ual than small Europeans. Precociousness
becomes less and less, in proportion to the ad-
vance made by any race in ci7iization-a
fact which is illustrated by the lowering of
the standard for recruits, which has been made
necessary in France twice during the present
century, by the decreasing rapidity of growth
of the youth of the country, Women are
more precocious than men, and in all domes-
tic animals the female is formed sooner than
the male. From eight to twelve years of age
