DOES THE WORLD MISS ANY One

DOES THE WORLD MISS ANY ONE
Not long. The best and most useful
Of US Will soon be forgotten. Those
who to-day are filing large place in
the worlds regard will pass away from
the remembrance of man in a few
months, or, at farthest, few years,
after the grave has closed upon their
remains. We are shedding tears above
a new-made grave, and wildly crying
out in our grief that our loss is irrepar-
able, yet, in short time, the tendrils
of love have entwined around other
supports, and we no longer miss the
one that has gone. SO passes the world.
But there are those to whom a loss is
beyond repair. There are men from
whose memories no womans smile can
chase recolIections of the sweet face that
has given up all its beauty at death S
icy touch. There are women whose
plighted faith extends beyond the
grave, and drives as profane those who
entice them from a worship of their
buried lovers. Such loyalty, however,
is hidden away from the public gaze.
The world sweeps on beside and around
them, and cares not to look in upon
this unobtruding grief. 1t carves
line and rears stone over the dead and
hastens away to offer homage to the
living.-Enchange.
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1877-1885, 1882-03-08

So Sow, IF YOU WANT To-
The Guinea grass case in Mississippi
has been decided. A progressive plan
ter thought there was money in making
hay. In casting about, therefore, to
ascertain the best seed for this purpose
he at concluded to try the Guinea grass,
otherwise known as johnson grass. He
bad heard almost fabulous stories OF its
productiveness. its tenacity and its
marketable value as forage, and be
made up his mind to try it, The neigh
bors heard of it. They declared that
the grass would cover the earth with its
rank luxuriance, and flew to the courts
for an injunction. The Injunction was
granted, but the planter appealed.
Witnesses from Mississippi, Alabama
and Georgia came by dozen to prove
that they had found johnson grass
more profitable than cotton; that it
grew with marvellous vigor, was hardy,
fruitful and nutritious; that the hay
was was in constant and eager demand
at handsome prices, and that, so far
from being an indestructible and mis-
chievous pest like coco, it was no more
difficult to eradicate than Bermuda
grass or wire grass, with one or the
other of which nearly every Southern
field is infested. In short. the plain
tiffs had no case at ali, Their suit was
shown to be unfounded and frivolous,
and johnson grass conquered with great
carnage.

WICKED JoKERS Some people
think it funny to calse fright and pain
to weaker persons. A boy was fright
ened to death in Robson county, n.
C few months ago. Here is another
instance =
Henry Waters, Of Youngstown, Ohio,
believed in ghosts, and had peculiar
dread OF them His weakness was
known to his acquaintances, some OF
whom planned practical joke at his
expense They managed to draw the
bullets from the revolver which he kept
under his pillow, and then, in the
night, he awoke to see white -robed
figure standing at the foot Of his bed.
Although dreadfully frightened, he
suspected that it was joker. Drawing
his weapon, he took aim and said Il
shall fire when | count three. Ore
two-three The intruder made no
response, aud Waters pulled the trlg-
ger. No impression was made, Of
course, aud FIVE more shots were fired.
The mock ghost laughed hoarsely. and
threw six bullets on the bed, as though
he had supernaturally caught them.
Waters shrieked in terror. Then the
ghost threw off his disguise, and the
other merrymakers burst into the room
70 laugh at their victim. But he still
gazed fxedly. The shock had made
him insane. Three weeks have elapsed
without a restoration Of his reason, and
it is not expected that he will ever re-
cover.

For the FARMER AND MECHANIC
A Littieton Letter--Let the Law
Alone!

Being shut in by the rain this morn
ing, | will take occasion to give you an
item or two.
We, the agricultural community of
this section have had pretty hard time
since the new year come III, very little
chance for us to do much on the farm
between rains, but all seem to be max
ing an earnest effort to make progress
and it is astonishing what good show
has been made under the circumstances.
The wheat crop, (of which there was a
much larger acreage put In than for sew
eral years. is looking well and we are
a great measure dependant on it to help
us out in bread.
The scarcity of corn has got to be quite
a serious matter with many, much thlev-
ing in consequence among the negroes,
nearly every corn mill 10 this section
has suffered more or less, Mr.. John H.
Bullock mill was broken open last
Thursday night and large quantity of
corn and meal carried off. Henry
Bullock, Lewis and John Davis were
arrested the next day, and the Davis
to jail, the proof was positive
and they afterwards confessed.
We in this section are very sorry to
see a disposition of the press in some
sections to agitate the question Of re-
pealing the law which has been the
greatest blessing to our section. Why not
let well enough alone? All who advo-
cate the repeal and are in favor of geing
back and electing commissioners and
magistrates by the popular vote ought
to be classed with the black Republicans.
This law has worked well, has done us in
the east much benefit and [ cannot see
how it can do any harm in the west. ]
do hope that the little demagogues who
are agitating this question for the pur
pose of getting Office may fail in every
instance. The Democratic party cannot
afford to give way on this question, it
is the most important question to our
section of any involved in the politics of
the country. W. w. w.

The Magic Pencil.
en- seated at my desk to write,

One day when seated at my desk to write,
There suddenly came ever me a fog
Of anxious cares, thai put my thoughts 10 hight,
And all my varied fauCies seemed to clog
dipped my pen in ink sl trieu in vain
My scattered Thoughts and Visions to recall;
changed my seat bu stid my added brain
Would cling to dismal Iorgats, that like a pail
O'ersh allowed all my efoTts--nsngnt Mt would clear
From heart, and mind, aEo brain, those visions
drear.
threw aside my pen in dull de.I air,
Aid seized pencil from rny etastre.
Then began to write again, aid strange
1t was to note the prompt and wondrous change
7 thoughts once scattered, came in bright array
And in their wonted place arranged Il emselves
While all those dismal visions fed away
Like phantoms in the light, timorous elves
And now l sit and write, and write, and write,
While DER the page my magic pencil flies,
Thoughts come SO thick and fast, that like the
light,
They dazzle and o'erpowsr my weary eyes.
Still Oh my pencil goes-nor can / tell
The power that seems to move it at its will;
1t was gift from one who knows full well
The art Of moving hearts and souls-but still
1 cannot understand what wondrous art
Could to pencil give such magic skill,
Could it but speak, perhaps it would impart
The secret of it's power my page to hllI
