SMILE AND FROWN.

q the happy, happy morn,
When love in his heart was born;
As bird, earth swept along
Flowery ways on wings OF. song,
BY Joy made wild
And the very air did beat,
In responsive music sweet,
To the coming of his feet.
For she smiled! - q
o the wretched, wretched night?
When the stars refused their light,
And the black waves of despair
Closer crept from out their lair, =
And his soul was drowned.
o the cruelty of fate!
0 the foolishness of hatel ..-tt-L
On an empty world, bereft
OF its god when love hath left2 ri
For she frowned!
And we older~hearted smile, ..
And we colder-hearted sneer,
Through silly, girlish will
That mans great heart appear
SO weak or ~ strong? ~
That smile, or frown, at will .N
Can heaven to'silence still,
Or the sad old earth can thrill
To joy and song!
Though we smile and though we sheer
tits but to hide tear
As it burns upon the dust -t.t
OF a dear, dead year.
When we loved, too! fatl s.
When she smiled, or as she frowned,
So the earth went spinning round H
Through path of song and flowers,
Or she crept through starless hours,
For we and you'll
For It's love, and it is love,
That the heaven and earth doth move
Through its fervid spell the rose
All her beauty doth disclose .l
To the sum-
And if DER the dreams may be
-Fancied immortality
IT'S o er death the victory
Love hath won!

According to Col. F. d. Curtis, ex-
periments have demonstrated that cook
ing food adds to its value about twenty
five per cent. for fattening pigs But
from this apparent gain must be taken
the miller's toll, one-tenth, and the cost
and labor of cooking. When pigs eat
large amount of meal in a raw state and
not soured, it will ferment more or less
in the stomach, and this condition tends
to destroy the appetite and to produce
scours.

The Drift Towards Prohibition.

Few people realize the progress that is
being made 10 this country 10 the Temper
anoe oauee. DIR. Daniel Dorchester shows
by facts in the christian Advocate how
strong 10 tho drift towards Prohibition. He
cites, first, the long record for Prohibition
of Maine, Now Hampshire, Vermont, the
shorter record of Kansas, and the recent
Prohibition victory 10 Iowa. Probably not
less than ten otter States, he adds. are
moving for q Constitutional Amendment
similar to that lately adopted by Iowa. Un
der "looal optionr Prohibition obtains in
quite humber Of towns and cities 10 New
Jersey; in Logan County, Media, and other
places in Pennsylvania; 10 nearly all tho ru
ral districts of South Carolina; in forty-two
countiee, besides church and suhool neigh
borhoocs in Georgia, equal 10 all to ono
half the area Of the State; in ten to fifteen
counties aud numerous districts ia Alabama;
10 large districts in Mississippi; in many
parishes in Louisiana; in about one half the
State under the "Four Mile law" in Ten
nissee; in large sections in Arkansas; in
several counties in Texas. The votes given
in various State Legislatures 10 1881, cted
by DIR. Dorchester also, arc significant. In
Wisconsin the vote in the House stood 81
yeas to 80 nays. In that State in 1878,
$4,000 people pctitioued for Prohibition;
10 1879, 10 900; in 1880, 100000; and
still larger number in 1881 In Penusyl>
vania the vote in the House wus 100 10 SO,
the measure failing in the Senate. Iu
Michigan tho Hous, voted 63 to 33, the
Senate I'll to l0-the necessary wo-thrds
being wanting by only one vote in the
House and by three in the Senate. In Nc.
braska the record was 49 to %; in Ohio, in
the House II to l6, in the Senate 20 to IL
(lost by four votes); in Illinois, House Sc to
81, Senate 16 to FL; in Nebraska, 40 to %;
in West Virginia, 40 to 20 10 the House;
in Arkansas, House 66 to II; 10 Texas,

The Charge of Extravaganza.
[Charleston News and Courier I

The Greenback party lay great stress
upon what they call tho extravaganza of
the Democratic administration and are caro-
ful to conceal from their mixed audiences
the fact that the total Democratic expend-
itures in six years amount to only s2,7S7,.
600 ond the Radical expenditures to
1893 300 in se:en years. The average
annual expenditure by the Democrats was
1857 200 and by the Radicals sl,l94,-
900.
It. is rather difficult to make the people
at large understand exactly how much they
save by such reduction of the expenses
which carries with it o corresponding 10
duotion of taxation. There are about
100000 white people 10 South Carolina
The saving to the people, therefore, is equal
to more than 81 SO to each person for each
year. There are usually about five 10 a
family, including the father and tho mother.
The saving to each family, therefore, is
equal to about $3.50 year.
The truo comparison to show the value of
Democratic rule is between an ordinary
year in Radical times and an ordinary year,
when there was no extra session, under the
present Democratic administration. We
give the legislative expenses for three such
years, and leave it to our readers to digest
the figures for themselves:

The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts arc we'll
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blackcn the teeth, cause head

Mothers.

"I shall pever forget" said Kant, 10 his
old age, "that it was my mother who
caused to fructify the good which is in my
SOUL" Cuvier, it is said, attributes to his
mother all tho pleasure of his studies and
the glory Of his discoveries. IL used to
draw under her pcrintendcnoe and read
aloud books Of history and general litera..
ture. 1t is thus that she developed in me
that love of reading and that curiosity for
ell things which were the spring of my life.'
Byron's mother, woman "full of caprice
and pride, whose narrow mind was only
expanded by vanity, hatred and revenge,
who pitileesly made jest of the natural
infrmity of her child" engrafted in his
heart her corrosive passions and made his
life curse to himself and to others, despite
his genius. Lamartino, over whose cradle
was ehed the light of tender mothers love,
under her tuition developed that genius Ca
spark Of which is said to DO implanted 10

perfumes of which are diffused over the
earth; but which burns only for heaven
1t has been said "Good teachers make good
scholars, but it is only mothefs that form
men," Rather should it be said--4it is only
mothers Cor women with mother hearts)
who possess the power of inspiring that love
of virtue and knowledge which, when onoe
established 10 the soul, enables man to
"mould his own material, quarry bis own
character" what it should be; for this is
work that no one can do for him.--Hon,c
