The spring term at the State Normal
opened Monday with a good attend
ance, and the faculty have been busily
engaged in conducting the examination
of applicants for admission and organ
izing classes. The absence of quite a
number of students who were present
last term, is noticeable, but their placts
have been filled by new recruits, and the
enrolment Is, to say the least, quite en-.
couraging, and points TO q successful
term. The annual commencement will
take place in June, and the graduating
class contains some of the best students
ever sent out by that institution.

There is no doubt that the early riser

Delicate children should never be

them. We do not underestimate the
pleasure and propriety of having the

Learn a Trade.

One OF the many false notions which
the rapid increase Of civilization in our

meath the dignity of gentleman. !

The young mans nose was elevated a
trihe as he replied in a fupercilious
tone:
81 would not feel that I was doing
myself justice in learning trade, as
hope to make my way up the ladder by
mental abilities, rather than by physi.
cal exertions."
The merchant dismissed him without
further ado, and turning to me, said:

Big Water on the Mississippi in 1s44.

Big Water on the Mississippi in 1S44.
The following is taken from an article
on the "Levees of the Mississippi" in
S7'ibner: Life in the Mississippi swamp
is unique, but perhaps never SO much
so as during that memorable summer.
The shallowest water, for indefinite
miles in any direction, was two feet
deep, the nearest land, the "Hills of
the Arkansaw," thirty miles away. The
mules were quartered on the upper
floor of the Clubhouse; the cattle had
been all drowned long ago; planter,
negroes and overseer were confined in
their respective domiciles: the grist-
mill was under water, and there was no
meas Of preparing corn for culinary
purposes except a wooden hominy-
mortar. The hog an1-hominy diet ESQ
highly extolled by some people who
have never lived on it) was adopted of
necessity, the former being represented
by mess pork, salter than tongue can
tell There were no visitors, except
now and then soeiable snake, which
no doubt bored by swimming around
indefinitely in the overflow, and craving
even human companionship, would
glide up on the gallery CT some of the
houses. There was no means of loco
motion except the skiff and the humble
but ever-serviceable dug-out-nowbere
to go and nobody within days jour
ney otherwise or more comfortably sit
uated. The only sense of sympathy
from without was had from remote and
infrequent glimpses of the gallant
steamer J. M. White, which, leaping
from point to point, made better time
from New Orleans to st. Louis than was
ever made before OF many years after.
That year nineteen plantations out OF
twenty failed to produce single pound
of cotton or single bushel of corn, and
when the food was over and the swamp
Noahs came out of their respective
arks, they were, to say the least, NAL
content. They were not ruined, of
course, but they had lost whole years
gross income. Moreover, the prestige
of the swamp as cotton country was
wofully diminished. The planters in
the hills" as the uplands are de-
nominated, began to hold up their
heads, no longer overcrowded by the OK
traordinary crops alleged to havo been
heretofore produced in the swamp.
The swamp planters set to work to
redeem the disaster, and to provide, as
far as possible, against its recurrence.
With the purpose Of retrieving their
financial fortunes they took some unique
measures. There is tradition that, at
public meeting held in Greenville,
Miss, in October, 1874, among other
more commonplace resolutions, one was
gravely and unanimously adopted to
the effect that a demand of payment
within twelve months from that date Of
any debt, great. or small, upon any
planter who ha1 been overfowed that
year, should be considered distinctly
"personal' "a clear case for pistols
and coffee. The code was certair5y
curious institution, but probably}p ].
is the only instance in which it w ex-
pected to 10 duty as stay-law.

And then, one day, the auctioneer
who had sold the desk to Margaret War
rener went to her and told her that a
gentleman who had just returned from
Europe desired to regain possession of
the desk sold at Mr.. Dempseys auction,
as it had been a gift to Mr.. Dempsey
from himself, on the eve of his depart
ure abroad, five years before. And
Grace listened with dilating eyes and
throbbing heart, whose beats almost
choked her utterance.
"Tell the gentleman to call here and
he may have his property"
And that evening, when she went to
the door at the sound of the bell, and
opened it, with her face slightly paler
than usual, Laurie Marcellus stood
there.
st expected you-come in" she said,
gently, while amazed and bewildered he
could only bow and obey.
Then she explained then he remem-
beled leaving the letter in the desk, and
understood how, by accident-nay, by
grim fate-the slant was not fastened
and the letter had slipped into its living
grave to be resurrected after all these
years.
"I do not know that I should tell
you even now," she said, bravely, "for
I do not know whether you are-are the
same or not. But" and she looked up
in his grand face, ST want You to know
I did love you"
He stepped up to her, quietly enough
for the minute.
"And now?"
ct am Grace Warrener STILL"
And then he snatched her in his arms,
held her to his heart, kissed her sweet,
pale face.
81 never have once thought of another
woman, my darling. When no answer
came I was crushed to the very ea1th,
and got myself away as well as I could
So you are my darling yet, Grace?"
And then Margaret came in, half an
hour afterward, in surprise that the gen.
tleman required SO much time to make
bargain for the desk.
