Loving and Being Loved.

Home j ouEnal.
Perhaps there is no more painfni
time in woman's Life than the
time of transition, when tho assId-
Gus lover is passing into the mat
ter oe-fact husband, and the woocr
is gradually changing into the mas
ter. Women, who are so much
more sensitive than men, more senr
timental TOO, and less content to
trust in silence to an undcnonstra-
ted affection, are for the most part
happy only while they are being
made fove TO. 1T is not enough 10
be loved they want to be told
twenty times a day, and to have
the harmonies Of life enriched by
crowd of occasional notes." en-
broidering the solid substance OH
which they live. Mer on the con-
trary get tired of making love.
When they baye wooed ard won,
they are content to be quiet, and to
take all the rest for granted. They
are not cold, however, because they
are secure and to most-and those
the best-practlcal kindness is bet
ter than fattery, security ranks be-
tore excitement and hysteria, and
life passed in serene friendship,
fearing no evil, knowing no break ,
and needing no praising, is better
than life passed in perpetual tur-'
moi! of passion, where there arc
scenes and tears, and doubt and
broken hearts if there are not end :
less ceurtships and tatiguiing detu-
ons.rations.

She Wanted Comedy.
Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Free Press.
Three months ago, when a new
servant girl came to Brush street
family, the mistress said she desired
to post the girl in advance on ono
certain point. She and her hus-
band belonged to all amateur thea
trical company, and in case Jane
heard ary racket around the houcs
she must not imagine they were
quarreling. They wonld simply
be rehersing their parts. The
"play" began on the third evening
Of the girls engagement. The
husband taunted the wife with cx-
travagance, and she said he played
poker for money /; and chairs were
upset and footstools were kicked
around, and threats were made of
going home to mother. Next
morning the mistress said to the
girl:
did you hear rs playing our
parts in sThe Wronged Wife, last
night 2
'Ycs'in.'
1T was simply a rehersal, you
see, and you musn't think strange
OF my throwing vase at my hns-
band and calling him vile wretch.
Three or tour nights after tina,
the curtain went up on play call
ed 'The Jealous Hnsband,' ane
Jane heard sobs, signing, protesta-
tions, threats and exclamations. Tho
next pay Was entitled 'Comine
Home Tight and was mostly play
ed in the front hall. Then follow
ed The Depths of Despair,
Threats Of Divorce and 'Such .
wretch until Jane was at last tlr-
ed Of having private box and be-
ing the only audience. The othc
morning she appeared in the sit
ting-room with her hat on and he
bundle under her arm, and said:
please, lna'am, but Pm goin;
this morE:ng.'
'What, going away 2
'Yes'm.'

The Awful Flood.
PEOPLE WAITING FOR STARVATION OR
EATING THE FLESH OF DROWNED
ANIMALS TO SUSTAIN LIFE.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, March o.
w. G. Harris who was sent down
to the Desha country by Gov.
Churchill to aid in the d stribution
of government supplies to persons
rendered destitute by the overflow
returned yesterday. In all inter-
view with reporter he said that
along the river font OF the Desha
country ono hundred miles in
length the destruction is beyond
description. The water has reach
e1 an unprecedented height, scarce
ly farm house or residence on the
bottom has escaped inundation.
The people have been compelled to
build false floors in their houses, or
to seek safety on higher lands,
where, in rudely constructed camps
Of brush, boughs and cane they ST,
and wait for starvation and death.
1t is appalling, and without gov
ernment aid, hberally and quickly
bestowed, there is no telling where
it will end. Many persons have
been feeding on carcasses of drown
ed cattle. Personal investigation
as we'll as the assurances of respec
table gentlemen convinced Harri
that not less than 600 families, av-
eraging six persons to each in tn
Desha country alone arc dependen
upon the charity of the govern
ment He believes it to be no ex
aggeration to place the gross mum
Der, old and young a, $500. In
> dications point to u long continu
t ance of the overflow. The mos
s sanguine hardly begin to hope fo
its subsidence before May.

Sheep.


The crying need of American
Agriculture to-day is a more gen.
eral incorporation OF the sheep into
the farming economy. More pro-
life than horses or cattle, as we'll
as more tractablc, sutsisting on
scantier herbagc, and requiring less
supervision f; it claims the additions
al advantage of paying for its rail-
lpS' in annual installments of
marketable fleece, pending its
gro With TO maturity. 1t is moro
readily transferred from one inclo-
sure to another, and is easily re-
strained by fences which would
prove no barrier against the en-
croachment of other farm stock.
Its light tread and love of repuse
warrant its access to fields and pas
lures where tramping of cattle and
tearing of hogs would not be toll
Grated. 1t wastes less food in pro-
portion to the quantity consumed,
and will hunt and utilize much that
would otherwise lie lost to the far
mcr.
Yielding a return in both fleece
and flesh, it furnishes its owner
with the double advantage of CATCH
ing good market for his product,
requiring less water and disposed
to work for its food 1t is without
a peer when summers drouth taxcs
the farmers resources for enabling
his live stock TO maintain an aver
age Of thrift and flesh. All that
can be said in behalf of foedir.g Z
live stock. on the farm, as distirl-
guished from the soil impovcrish-
ing policy Of placing the raw gralR
and grass npon the market, will be
found to apply with double cmph".
sis to the farm that cal lries as a part
of its outfit, one or moro sheep Ipcr
acre. No other anima, returns
more fertility to soil in proportion
to the amoant exacted for Its cup
port, while none equals it in tho
evenness with which the droppinka
are distributed. Notwithstanding
the evident advantages, an increase
in sheep culture brings up the agri-
culture cf a country generally, and
especially ;nuring to the benefit Of
such farmers as incorporate it INTO
their system, the fact is apparent
that sheep are not SO numerous or
SO evenly distributed as they should
be.

The Auditors Report.
THE STATES TAX RECEIPTS AND Ex-
PENDlTURES.
RaleiQh News-OhssrYer.

Raleigh News-Obssrver.
We are indebted to Gen. Rob-
erts, our very fficient Auditor, for
a copy of his last annual report.
We collate soue interesting figures
from it. The general taxes amount
ed last year to S203, ,297.3S. In
surance companies paid $1O,964 !;
drummers 51,6G0; merchants
S2S, $50 railroads So, ,s30.55; sew
ing machines $4,000, and bank
stock S3,63O.55. Ofthe liquor tax,
three-fourths goes to the public
fund, amounting to $16,9S7.64.
The income tax netted $2,256. The
fees from the Secretary of State
were S6,694,74. There were about
$4,000 of small items. The Su-
preme Court Reports sold for ST.
$1,000, and stationary for SO, 3,13s.
The entire amount Of public mon
eys for general purposes was, then,
about $345, 900. For the asylum
1911, ,334 was raised for the peni-
tentiary the same amount. The
fertilizers tax, for the Agricultural
Department, was S29,50O. The
Western North Carolina Railroad
Company paid into the Treasury
$50, 800, under the contract to pay
interest on those bonds, and this
was paid out for that purpose.
The amount paid for the hire OF
convicts up to November 80, 1881,
was $79,4S3.19. The chief items
OF disbursement were Interest
on debt $50, ,653; General Assem-
bly, $56,259 Judiciary S37,92O ;
public printing S12,763 Treasury
Department So 800 j; Auditors De
parsment S2,S5s; Executive ST.
673; contingencies $21,2I5. The
expenses of the government, leav-
ing out the Agricultural Depart
nent, the asylums and the peniten
:iary, were about $275, 900, and,
leaving out interest, was less than
100000. The Morganton asylum
drew $4,000 the Goldsboro (col-
ored) asylum SIS, ,599-19. The
penitentiary costs US $4,000. We
think this is as credltable showing
as any State can make, as the run
n;ng expenses Of government are
less than $19O 900. The Republic
can Legislature alone, for the year
ending September 80, 1859, cost
regular session, Sl91, 900, and the
special session $4,000, making
$269, 600 tor that yeal. The same
expenses that cost'us last year less
than $3.50, 900, in 1869 COS, $685.
900, and in 1870 $4,000. Th.
expenses for the present year, if we
have no extra session of the Legis
lature, will be much less, only
about s135,OOO. This is the recort
OF the two parties. The whole COS
of administering the government O
the State (leaving out interest ant
the asylums and penitentiary, etc.
will this year be regularly onl.
about $I35,OOO. DR.. Mott spen
in his district alone 100000 las
year. Actions speak louder thai
words. Who wants to see the Dem
ocratic party put aside that the Re
uublicans may be restored to powe
and waste the peoples money!

For the SENTINEL
A Talent for Happiness.

io" ie" Oh us are the poSsessOrs
OF this rare talent, and yet, eli Of
us, IT we only aoo,szd, might culti-
vate a talent for happiness.
Some people are always on the
lookout for trouble. They live in
daily expectation of some dire ca
lamity. ''Something awful" is
forever "geing to happen" Thus
they 60 through life with long
faces and succeed in making them-
solves and all around them unhap-
py. No life can be entirely devoid
OF pleasure, and to great extent,
1t lies i'll our own power to make or
mar our own happiness through
life. But we often shut our eyes
to mach pleasure that we might
have, and seeing the bright and
smiling faces of our friends, imag~
inc them the possessors of good for.
tune which is denied us. Perhaps,
could we exchange places with
them for short time, we might
learn that a gay face is often the
mask that covers an aching heart.
We are go prone to think that
every body's lot is better than our
own. We envy the good gifts of
others. and bury our own talents
out of sight. Perhaps when our
livea are nearly spent, and the
years gone from US forever. we will
look baok with regret on the vast
cd hours of onr past life, hours we
spent in repining and complaining,
tretting over, and nursing our trou-
bles, instead of bravely putting
them away, and helping somebody y
else bear greater trials. We will
thlnk lenlorsefully, and tearfully
of the impatient words said, of the
kind words left unsaid, but it viii

The Good Little Boy and the Drum.

From the Troy TiInes
"A little boy wanted drum. His
mother wishing to give him an mn
prcssivc lesson, suggested that it he
should pray for it he might receive
one. So at night, when readys for
bed, ne knelt down and prayed:
Now lay me down to sleep,
want Il drum.)
pray the Lord my soul to keep,
[ want a drulh.)
If | should die before ] wake,
I want a drum.)
pray the Lord my soul to take,
[ want IL drum.)
His father, who had been let in
to the secret, had meanwhile quict>
ly placed a drum OH the bed. AS
The youngster rose, and his cyes
fell on the dram, he exclaimed in
an emphatic ouanner, that banlshcd
all serious thoughts from the minds
OF his listeners "Wherc the devil
did that drum come from ." Tho
anticipated benefits from that les
son may probably be considered
lost.
