QUEEN SOUTH AND SIR NORTH.
AN ALtEaoR1cAL ODE.
Of Queen South had dream
All bespangled with the gleam
Ofluxurious natures Incidence
Ahoat upon stream;
And her bark so smoothe did glide
Down the current of life's tide,
That she seemed very Naiad
With halo Of sunbeam!
She had waving fields Of maize
With ripe Autumn's. glow ablaze,
And rich silver-golden tresses
Of fair cotton, rice and cane;
Oh, in truth she seemed queen
From some fairy land of dream,
AS she moved along unconscious
Of her wealth of land and main.
But from out sterile cline
Where in winter sleigh-bells chime,
A.lover cold and calculating
Slowly made his way;
And he talked of jingling bells,
And of hoar-frost in the dells,
Till with sentiment and fancy
The fair South he led away.
Led her up to Hymen's altar,
And her step it did not falter,
For she gave her heart and soul unto
Her lover called Sir North;
And glad joy-bells loud did ring, -
And her mocking- birds did sing,
Till the echo of their melody
With music filled the earth.
But the honey moon scarce DER,
The fair South she wept full sore,
For her Northland lord and master
Did oft treat her with disdaln;
She thought he loved her beauty,
But, alas she found twas booty
That had brought him hither wooing
Her queenly wealth to gain.
Then she sought to get divorce,
But the Courts denied the force
Of the legal application
That queen South to law did make;
Then she raved and tore her hair,
And by Mars and Jove did swear
That with cannon, shot and shell,
She would make the Southland shake.
So connubial war was rife,
AS tits oft tween man and wife,
She fighting hard whilst praying loud
That he would let her go;
But he swore that as his wife
She should live with him thro' life,
Or he'd slaughter all her children,
And her fair land cloud with woe
And the land was filled with tears
And woeful lamentations
For the many children slain;
Then Queen South she asked truce,
And said,-Sir North, what's the use
Thus to slaughter all our children?
Let us live in peace again.
They shook hands, and Peace once more
Spread her wings the Southland Ger,
Then they gathered up the mangled corse
Of each son who lost his life;
And each Decoration Day,
On their lowly mounds Of clay,
Both North and South strew flowers Ger
Their children slain in strife.

To SUCCEED IN FARMING.-To succeed
i'm farming several things are necessary be-
sides agricultural science and adequate
means. Really as much depends upon saw
ing as making. In the first place, we must
see that there is no unnecessary loss and that
all wastes and leakages are stopped. The
manure pile must be our chief concern, and
we must see that everything available in
this line is scrupulously utilized. In the
second, we must make on the farm every
thing that we can for home consumption:
The principle must be, to make as much and
buy as little as possible. It is losing busi-
ness to sell cotton at 5 cents pound and buy
corn at 1.25 bushel, or sell corn at 90 cents
bushel, and pay outrageous prices for our
shoes and clothing. The sooner we manu-
tacture all that we eat and wear at home the
more prosperous and happy we will become;
And this brings us to another requirement.
for success. We must learn to economize
and curb the disposition to the stupid ex-
cess in dress and display, which is getting to
be the curse of the age. A little more of
the primitive simplicity Of the days that
are gone, in this respect, whether it is styled
togyism or not, would make us better and
happier people.

evening with President Tyler, who inform

Miss Gardner: why" said Wise, "she
is too young for YOU" 'Not at all, re-

"That reminds me-" continued Wise, of

any affair of any Importance to both. The
old master was widower, and when he
got the consent of young lady to marry
him he communicated the fact to the old
darkey. "My Lord" said Sambo, "she is
too young for you" "Not bit of it," an
.swered the master "I'm still in my prime"
Yes responded Sambo, you are in your
prime now, but wait till she gets in her
prime, then where will your prime be p"

REMEMBER HIM-When Christ institu-
ted the supper, He said, "This do, in re-
membrance of me-" And yet, it is to be
feared, there are those who forget the sig
nifcance of this command. They use their
memories, but not in the proper direction.
They remember that certain communicates
have done some things which have borne
an unpleasant, and, perhaps, injurious rela-
tion to them. 1t may be, however, that the
offending person had not said or done any
thing which has had strictly personal
bearing upon. those who have taken eXcep-
ton to the offender, but, rather they have
pursued course not in keeping with their
Christian profession. Bethecase as it may,
it is certain that the eXceptionable conduct
has been thought sufficient to deter the OBJ
iectors from communing at the same table.
They have said: 81 cannot commune with
such persons. They are too unworthy"
Especially is this the case, when directly
personal offence has been given The Of
fence is remembered and remembered just
when and where it should not be. Now,
there is not the slightest warrant in the BIZ
BILE, for any one to remember the injuries
which one may have done TO another, so
that the remembrance may act as bar to
the Lords Supper. We are to remember
Christ, and Christ only, at His table. "This
do, in remembrance ofnoe," )" the Master says.
Our remembrance of Him is to be so loving,
so tender and intense, that we shall forget,
for the time being gatleast, any one else. We
are to remember His substitutory death for
us. We should remember that were it not
for that death, we would still be dead in our
sins. Upon his death our life depends, and
is built up. BY His death, we are brought
into eternal union with Christ, and the host
of Christ redeemed. AS we partake OF the
symbols of His body and blood, we are to
remember the loving sacrifice He made for
us. O, my soul, forget not this! Remem-
Der the perfect Jesus, and forget imperfect
man.-Rer, c. H. Wetherbe.

SUMNER CARE OF HoRsEs.-As the sea-
son grows warmer, the horses should be fed
sparingly on corn. Oats, well crushed,
make the best grain feed, as corn contains
too much oil, and produces fat and animal
heat, with little muscle. If oats are mois-
tened previous to feeding the demand TOR
water after feeding will be lessened ana TOO
much water at that time often carries the
grain from the stomach into the intestines,
Where it cannot be digested. Corn often
causes sweating when given in large quan-

CREDITOR ENDORSING FOR HIS DEBTOR.
A farmer in the corn-growing district of H.
inois sued a villager for debt this winter,
but when the case came to trial the credi-
tors heart was by no means adamantine.
''I've waited good while for my pay"
he explained, "and wouldn't have sued you
now if you had acted like a man who wanted
to pay"
''I'll tell you what I'll do," replied the
debtor. "Make it $23 and I'll fix it so you
cans get the money at once"
"1'll do it,"
''The debtor filled out bank note for the
sum due in 80 days, and handed it to the
creditor with the remark:
"Put your name on the back and they'll
give you the money at the bank"
The farmer indorsed it, got his money less
the discount, and his grin OF pleasure had
not entirely died out when the note came
due and the cashier explained:
"The signer has nothing we can get hold
of, and of course the endorser has to pay"

INDocTRINATE Your SCHoLARs.-Some
say: Oh, we want practical religion we
want to teach the children to "Come to
Jesus" Of course we all need more of
Christ; but too often that phrase is made
the EN- ptiest catchword of excuse for incul-
eating mere sentimentality and vapid emo
without any definite conception of what
it means. You must take that word and
fill it up with the doctrinal statements of
Scripture, to know who Christ is, and why
we must come, and how he alone can save
us. We must carry the history of Christ
back to the eternity post, and forward to the
eternity to come. We must not teach a
gospel without law, or law without gospel

How TO MAKE UPLAND CoRN.-A "Dry
Farmer" in the Saluda IS. C.) argus, gives
The following as his method of planting
upland corn: Lay off the rows five feet
apart so that they will hold water, with a
horse and six inch shovel. Then put
four horses or mules to one plow, with an
and run in same furrows deep as they can
pull the plow. Then drill in the furrow
10 bushels of cotton seed and 200 lbs. of
phosphate or other manure, and sidle on it
with 2 horses or mules half as deep as the
centre furrow, and plow out the balance
of bed with one horse, shallow. Then
open the ridge over the manure 8 or inch
es deep, and drop your corn three feet
apart and cultivate fast and shallow, and
YOU will make 80 or 40 bushels of corn per
acre in middling upland. Rain or dry, that
deep furrow will hold moisture all summer.
Try it and be convinced.

HONEY IS misunderstanding to the
american Bee Journal, honey is not a luxu-
ry, but solid food. 1t says: "Pure honey
should be used unsparingly by every family.
It is no longer luxury to be used only by a
few, but is sufficiently cheap to be within
the reach of all. 1t has properties which
make it valuable food. 1t differs from
alcoholic stimulants, which dull the intel
lect-on the contrary, it produces bright
intellect as we'll as healthy body. Chill,
dren are very fond of honey, and one pound
of it goes further than a pound OF butter.
1t has the popularity ofkeepiing good, while
butter often becomes rancid and injurious
to the health.

. There was spicy debate in Council, last
night, over an ordinance to permit bathing,
under certain conditions, within the city
limits. The ordinance, as adopted by the
First Branch, provided that any person
might battle, provided he or she wore q
woollen bathing suit, covering the body
from the shoulder to the knee. In the
Second Branch, Mr.. Peterson wanted an
amendment by which a male might not be
REQUIRED TO wear a uniform reaching above
his waist. Mr.. Wilkinson said it might be

come.
Mr. Rosenberg wanted the word wooden
stricken out. An objection was raised to
this, in that thin cotton goods might be
used, which would adhere to the skin and
indecently expose the body of the wearer.
A member said that he had had some ex-
perience in bathing and he found that
when the cotton goods were used, women
we're always to be found in greatest num-
bers This created some laughter, in the
midst of which Mr.. Rosenberg, who also
had had experience, told o. new goods
which were better for bathing suits than
either wool or cotton. -,
Finally the word wooden was stricken
out and the ordinance was adopted. Mr..
Peterman's suggestion was ignored and the
small boy must cover his budding bosom
when he goes in bathing.
