We don't call it stealing when we take
what belongs to others, because We expect
to return the loan some time and then forget
all about it. The difficulty with us is that
our memory is sdefective, not that our morals
are bad. A colored gentleman has the true
philosophy of this matter and he puts it
into poetical form, as follows:
l wasn't stealin' when went and fetched de
wood away,

An If a man kain't bory wood dats layin' out
OBJ nights
Idlike for you to tell me what's de use ob equal

SOAKING SEEDs.-I am often asked
whether it does any good to soak seeds be
fore sowing them? In general believe it
does more harm than good, and if done at all
a good deal of judgment should be used to
prevent mischief Thus, peas, beans and
corn are often soaked to hasten gcrmnation,
with the belief that they will come day or
two earlier, but in case the weather is cold
and wet for some time after sowing the
seed it will be more likely to suffer injury
from the weather than if sown dry. Care
is repaired in sleeping seeds that fermcnta.
tion does not occur, which will frequently
kill the Seed. To steep seeds in chemical
solutions with the belief that this will answer
in place of lertilizing the land believe is
sheer humbug and imposition upon COMMON
sense. The only chemical stuffs that have
proved-nseful, SO far as know, are the blue
vitriol to destroy germs of smut, strychnine
10 destroy crows and blackbirds, and smear,
ing of tar on ccrn seed for protection from
these birds.-W. ID. PhHbrick, in Ncao
England Farmer.

BREWSTER VERSUS MELToN.- Columbia. April.
III have heard authoritatively to-day Of two
interesting letterD. One was from Attorney.
General Brewster to Ex-Governor Manning, who
was an old college mate Of his, assuring him
that he had no heart in this work Of prosecut--
ing the white men Of South Carolina. but that
he was unable to help it. that he had no feeling
against our people and that Melton was the
cause Of il. Melton, he said, Ind reported to
the Government that there was cause for the
prosecutions and that convictions could and
would be had.
Brewsters statement in the above letter de.
serves at least semblance Of truth from the
other letter TO which I have alluded, and which
has been read by prominent gentlemen. IL is q
letter from Melton himself in reply to Repub-
lican of Sumter County, who wrote to Melton
to entreat him to abandon tho case against Su-
pervisor Of Registration Gaillard. Melton in
his reply said that he would grant thssrequest
In this instance, but asked him not TO make such
q plea again, for although those prosecutions
might have no effect now they would have great
effect on the election Of l884.-Cor. Nsps and

For instance. both q soul may lose

sow, Of any kind OF seed, We shall reap the

in the spiritual world, in the formation oI

fruitful life. The poet we'll says
A wonderful thing is n seed,
The one thing Ieathless forever
The one thing changeless-utterly true,
Forever, old and forever new,
An tickle and faithless never,

Plant hate, and hate will grow;
You can SOW to-day. tomorrow will bring
The blossom that proves what sort of thing
Is the seed, the seed that you SOW.

On the One Price System.
ONE UNIFORM PRICE to ALL
AND THAT THE LOWEST
KNOWN.

The usual system of selling Pianos and
Organs is for the dealer to charge any price
he can get for them without regard to either
fair profit or the customers interest. But
we are proud to say that this has neuer been
our method Of selling.
For the benefit of purchasers and TO Sc.
cure them the full value OF their money, we
established at tie outset Of our business,
tpelce years since,
The One Price System,
and to this we attribute our immense and
prosperous trade. Selling on this square
basis renders it imperative that the price be
the very lowest one that can be given. We
are pledged to this. We always have done
it, and we always will do il. It's our creed
and our practice. No oiher Piano and Or
gan House deals on this principle.
Our prices, in plain figures, are placed
on every instrument. A child can buy rs
low as the sharpest trader. All other Hou-
ses have High prices and give discounts"
The Zone Price" system saves time in
trading. and is the only satisfactory way to
buyer and seller; for, on the high price and
discount system, even though the customer
buys, he Is not sure that he has bottom
prices.

1t settled down among us and never went
away.
Whatever we kept from it seemed Almost as
bad as theft;
1t watched us every minute, and it ruled us
right aud left,
The rust and blights were with us sometimes
and sometimes not;
The dark browed, scowling mortgage was
forever on the spot.
The weevil and the cut-worm, they went as
well as came.
The mortgage went on forever, eating hear
ty, all the same.
1t nailed up every window, stood guard at
every door,
And happiness and sunshine made their
homes with us no more.
Till with failing crops and sickness we got
stalled upon the grade,
And there came dark day on us when the
interest wasn't paid
And there came sharp foreclosure, and l
kinder lost my hold,
And grew weary and discouraged, and the
farm was cheaply sold.
The children left and scattered when they
yet were hardly grown;
My wife she pinned and persisted, an found
myself alone.
What she died of was "a mystery" and the
doctors never knew;
But knew she died of mortgage-just as
well as | wanted to.
If to trace hidden sorrow were within the
doctors art
They ha' found mortgage lying on that wo
mans broken heart.

men. There all is bright, gay and
pleasing to the senses: and soon they
are drawn into dissipation, and only
look upon their homes as boarding
places, where the physical necessities of
eating and sleeping are procured. In
early life brothers and sisters should be
taught to be kind, obliging and atten-
tive to each other, to perform little Of
fees for each other, and learn the
suavities of department which are so
essential to the happiness of their own
lives, and of those with whom they are
connected. Brothers and sisters thus
taught can rarely fail to make pleasant
homes Of their own, where chickering's
and strife are never heard. Sweet
smiles and kindly actions are the small
coins of life, and in their aggregate
consist the happiness and well being of
the whole family. Where such house
holds become the rule, then peace and
prosperity reign. Better is a dinner
