THE Sun for 1852 will make it's fifteenth
annual revolution under the present man

A ulGHLANDEH'S HONOR.

Two centuries ago, III the Highlands
ef Scotland, to ask for receipt or
proinissary note was y thorough IN
suit. If parties had business matters
to transact, they stepped into the air,
fixed their eyes upon the heavens, and
each repeated his obligation without
witness. a mark was then carved up
on some rock or tree near by, as re-
mcmbrance of the contract. Such a
| thing as breach of contract was rarely
met with, so highly did people regard
their honor. When the march OF i'm
provement brought new mode OF do
ing business, they were often panied
by these Innovations. An anecdote is
handed down of a farmer who had
been to the Lowlands and learned
worldly wisdom. On returning to his
native parish he had need of small
sum of money, and he made bold to
ask loan from gentleman of means
named Stuart. This was kindly
granted, and Mr.. Stuart counted out
the gold. This done, the farmer wrote
receipt and handed it to Mr.. Stuart.
uWhat is this, man." cried Mr..
Stuart, eying the slip of paper.
eft is receipt, sir, binding me to
give We back the gold at the right
time," replied Sandy. =.
"BlnOlnB ye. "eei, NY hA"h, =.
We Gamma trust yourself, Pm sure I'll
not trust ye. You Gamma have my
gold" And, gathering it up, he put
it back in his desk and turned the key
on it.
"But, sir, might die" replied the
canny Scotchman, bringing up an ar
gument in favor Of his new wisdom,
sand perhaps my sons might refuse it
to ye; but tho bit of paper would COM
pei Them"
"Compel them to sustain their dead
fathers honor" cried the Celt.
"They'n need compelling to do right
if this is the road ye're leading them.
Pll neither trust yc nor them. You
can gang elsewhere for money; but
yell find name in the parish thatll put
moro faith in bit of paper than in a
neighbours word q honor and his fear
o. God.''

MOTHER LOVE.
Huntington Hawkeye.l

burlington f10WkOyo.I
We were at a railroad junction one
night last week waiting few hours
for a train, in the waiting-room, in the
only rocking chair; trying to talk a
brown-eyed boy to sleep, who talks
great deal when he wants to keep
awake. Presently a freight train ar
rived, and beautiful little old woman
came in, escorted by great big Ger
man, and they talked in German, he
giving her evidently lots of informa-
ton about the route she was going,
ami telling her about her tickets and
her baggage check, and occasionally
patting her on the arm. At first our
United States baby who did not under
stand German was tickled to hear
them talk, and he sssnickered" ut the
peculiar sound of the language that
was being spoken.
The great big man put his hand up
to the good old lady's cheek, and said
something encouraging, and a great
tear came to her eye, and she looked
as happy as a queen. The little brown
eyes of the boy opened pretty big, and
his face sobered down from its laugh,
and he said: "Papo; it is his mother!"
We knew it was, but how should a
tour-year-old sleepy baby, that couldn't
understand German, tell that the lady
was the big mans mother and we ask
ed him how he knew, and he said
80, the big man was 80 kind to herr
The big man hustled out, we gave
the rocking chair to the little old
mother, and presently the man came
In with baggage man, and to him he
spoke English. He said: "This is
my mother, and she does not speak
English. She is going to Iowa, and 1
have got to 60 back on the next train,
but want you to attend to her bag
gage, and see her on the right car, the
rear car, with a good seat near the CEN
tire, and tell the conductor she's my
mother. And here is n dollar for you,
and 1 will do as much for your some
time.'
The baggage man grasped the dollar
with one hand and grasped the big
mans hand with the other and looked
Mt the little German with an express
sion that showed that he had mother,
too, and we almost know the old lady
was well treated. Then we put the
sleeping mind-reader on q bench. and |
went out on the platform ana got ac-
quaiuted with the big German, and he |
talked of horse-trading, buying and sell
ing and everything that showed he
was live business man, ready for any
speculation, from buying yearling
colt to a crop of hops or barley, and
that his life was a busy one and at
times full of hard work, disappoint-
mept, hard roads.
But with all of his hurry and excite
ment he was kind to his mother, and
we loved him just a little, and when,
after few minutes talk about business,
he said "YOu must excuse me; 1
must go in the depot and see if my
mother wants anything" we felt like
taking his fat red hand and kissing it.
Oh the love of the mother is tho same
in any language, and it is good in all
languages.

DOGS IN GEORGIA CHURCHES.
Macon (Ga.) Photographic


Our neishbor of the Albany News
and Advertiser has begun Il campaign
against the habit that some people have
of carrying dogs with them to church.
AS usual, he is clearly in the right.
He enforces his pointed observations
with these two incidents, going to show
that people who can't keep their dogs
from church on Sunday in any other
way should stay ut homo with them
cat the Methodist church last Sunday
night q pointer dog came in and curled
himself up for n nap near the pulpit.
The minister began to warm up in his
sermon, and came down with u loud
gesture Upon the Bible before him.
Up jumped tho dog and struck a gallop
to make his escape. In fact, no dog
with n box to his tail ever made better
time. At tho Presbyterian CHURCH
Monday night a ferocious bull specimen
of the canine species attended, and
when an attempt was made to run him
out he curled himself up at his mistress
feet, aud refused to be run out. After
a while, when the preacher began to
warm up in his discourse, and when
his voice rose to an unusually high
pitch, the dog smade for the minister,
making the church resound with his
deep-lmouthed banks. Until his mistress
had coaxed him out he was master of
the situation. All this is very an
noying to church attendants, and if the
owners Of these dogs can not be in
duced to keep them at home the City
Council should take some action in the
Natter

HOW TOBACCO PAYS.

A writer on the progress of North
Carolina, in the New York Sun, says
of the cultivation OF tobacco in that
State:
sThe growing of fine tobacco in the
upper counties of the State, is making
perhaps more progress than any other
kind of agricultural industry. AS 1
told you last winter, suitable lands can
be purchased, cleared, cultivated, and
the crop secured and put in market for
less than $50, while the tobacco would
command from 500 to 5000. Putting
Its value at the low rate of only 500,
one acre of tabacco will be worth in
Its profit ten acres of the best cotton
lands, and, according to the census re-
ports, equal to twenty acres of average
cotton land. The lands suitable for
the production of this fine tobacco have.
within the last three years, risen from
81 per acre to "a or IS In some localities,
land in the mountain counties has 40
yet been cleared.'
