OBITUARY.

DIED.-At Dover, Jan. 29, 1883 Miss Emily A. Bayllss, daughter oI Judge A. J. Bayliss.
 Miss Emily was born in 1880, and was forty seven years old. In 1851, she made profession of religion and attached herself to the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, in which she lived an humble, devoted, consistent member until her death.
 The writer has been acquainted with her for 2S years and feels fully authorized to say that he has never seen q more consistent christian la dy. She made but little show ofher rehgion,but those who knew her best had most confidence in her. Her re. ligion took hold of the very secret springs of human action and gave shape and character to all she did. Her life was made beautiful by it.
 She suffered long and severely

The farmers who are trying to raise both cotton and stock, as many of the planters on the low lands of thls state are, ought to realize that their cotton seed is worth far more to them to feed or put on their land as fertilizer, than they are realizing from its sale.--Arkansas Farmer.
 This is an illustration of our idea of farming. It IS like acquiring knowledge which does not depend upon the number of books we need, but the manner in which we read them. Successful, farming does not depend upon the number of acres we cultivate, but the manner in which we cultivate. A German can make mouey farming on or 4 acres of land, and why cannot an American? Because as an American he has such extravagant notions of things, he wants to look out over broad fields. Cultivate few acres well and grow such things as will sell, and let so much cotton alone, and you will be all right.

IN TWOS.

"oSs
Somewhere in the world there hide,
Garden-gates that no one sees
Save they come in happy twos-
Not in ones, nor yet i'll threes.
But from every maiden's door
Leads pathway straight and true,
Maps and surveys know 1t not;
He who finds, finds room for two.
Then they see the garden-gates!
Never skies so blue rs theirs,
Never flowers so many sweet
AS for those who come in pairs.
Round and round the alleys wind,
Now cradle bars their way,
Now little mound, behind-
So the two 60 through the day.
When no nook in all the lanes
But has heard song or sigh,
Lo! another garden-gate
Opens as the two 60 by!
In they wander, knowing not;
"Five-and- Twenty ~ fills the air
With silvery echo low,
All about the startled pair.
Happier vet these garden-walks;
Closer, heart to heart, they lean;
Stiller, softer falls the light:
Few the twOs, and far between.
Till, at last, as on they pass
Down the paths so we'll they know,
Once again at hidden gates
Stand the two: they enter slow.
Golden Gates of Fifty Years,
May our two your iatchet press!
Garden of the Sunset Land,
Hold their dearest happiness.
Then quiet walk again;
Then wicket in the wall;
The one, stepping on alone
Then two at the Heart of All!

THE DARKEY AND DTHESAFETY-NA
Among the pictures thrown upon the screen
at Professor F. r. HuttOn's lecture on the
"Growth of the Locomotive Engine" was
that of the locomotive "Best Friend" which
was used on the Charleston and Hamburg
Railroad in 1880. The position of the negro
fireman was we'll up in front, and the noise
of steam escaping from the safetty-yalve an
moved him. He invented method of doing
away with the annoyance. 1t consisted of
pulling the valve rope tautand sitting on it.
It worked till the boiler burst, and the dar-
key was blown out of the company's en-
plOyment.-N. Y SIN.

Practice VS.. PRECEPT.-An enterpris-
ing New Hampshire manufacturer appear
ed before the Board of Directors of the South
Carolina Penitentary a few days ago and
submitted a proposition for the hire Of con-
victs. He proposed to hire from the Board,
for the purpose of operating a hosiery mill
within the Penitentiary grounds, the labor
of fifty-tive convicts-thirty-tve women,
fifteen boys and five men-tO be largely in
creased at later date in the same proper
ton. For this labor he proposes to pay 81
cents a day for the women and boys and 30
cents for the men. The proposition was Sc
riously considered and will probably be ac-
cepted. The manufacturer making this bid
is Il member of the New Hampshire Legis-
lature, and doubtless high tariff man so far
as imports are concerned. Atthe same time
he is evidently a low wages man so far AS
labor is oncerned.-B0Hinlore Stn.

WHAT DoCTORS DO.-About once in
twenty years the doctors relabel all the
old complaints and give them new names.
Thirty years ago pneumonia was lung
fever.n and "sciatia" plain rheumatic"
But complaints with these okl-fashioned
English names are bad for doctors. People
get too well acquainted with them, and
then they learn to cure themselves. When
the doctors find them out they rechristen the
whole lot. This is done by charging gun
full of Greek and Latin words and firing
into the complaints. Where shot hits the
name sticks. The sick are frightened when
they are told that these words are the
matter with them and think something
new and awful has got them.
When doctor has tried to cure sick
man and can't he tells him he's got ''mala-
ria Nothing readily cures malaria in
New York but dying.
Doctors usually disagree, and the more
there are of them the more they disagree.
No dozen of doctors ever yet agreed entire
ly upon mans complaint-unless he was
drowned or blew his brains out.
Every few years the doctors find out that
something they used to do is entirely wrong
and likely to kill more than cure. But
they stick up just the same for whatever
they are doing nOw.--Ne,U York Graphic.
