FaIIacieS About the Piano.

a good cause lis never really helped
by bad arguments. 1t is pity, there
fore, that some indiscreet persons, in
their pralsewOrthy cagerness tO con-
tribute toward the suppression of the
piano and the radical cure OF the piano
habit to which the great majority of
young and thOughtlesS women are adj
dicted, have plausibly but unsoundly
contended that the piano prompts de
ceptiOn and untruthfulncsS.
1t should be borne in mind that the
essence of untruthfulncss is not il mere
misstatement, but false pretense and
purpose to deceive; and, whatever the
appearance may be, there is really no
such purpose i'll the misstatementS
prompted by the presence of piano
forte. When young Schuyler Van
Virgins entreats Miss Angelina De-
Smythe to ''favor us with some music"
and young Augustus Wyllyams echoes
''1es, do" there is really no purpose to
deceive, nor is Miss DeSmythe in fact
deceived. Apparently these young
men are endeavOring to make Miss De-
Smythe think that they regard the
piano us musical instrument and
herself as an accomplished performer
thereon. In truth, however, the pre-
tence is only conventional, and all par
ties fully understand it.
The young gentlemen simply desire
to attest their regard for Miss De
Smythe by showing their willingness
to endure suffering ut her hands. They
offer themselves willing sacrifices on
the altar of courtesy and friendship.
They mean simply to say, by the use
of Il conventional formula, that they
are willing to endure even the torture
of listening to Miss DeSmy the's per-
formance in order to prove their devo-
ton to Miss DeSmythe's self. Their
spirit is precisely that of the knight
errant of old who willingly dared and
endured for fair lady's sake. The
! endurance has changed its form with
changed manners, that is all.
And in like manner when the young
gentlemen, at the end of the perform
ance, rapturously protest that they are
charmed, delighted, entranced, they
mean only to be courteous, not to de-
ceive. They are assuring Miss De-
Smythe that they do not in the least
regret their rashness, even with nerves
still quivering, but are glad to have
suffered for her sake.
Nothing is farther from our purpose
than to say Il single word in def,nce
or encouragement of the piano habit.
We are relentlessly opposed to that as
to all vices but we wish to keep the
discussion upon grounds which can be
logically defended. The true grounds
of opposition to the piano-forte are its
pervasiveness and ceaselessness its
tendency to wreck sleep and torture
the innocent; its pernicious influence
i'll debauching the popular taste, and its
uniform tendency to undermine the
Judgments of young women, convinc-
ing them that they can play when in
fact they can only tlump. For ample
argument in favor of the total suppress
sion of the piano, one has only to walk
abroad on these summer nights or to
lie abed ut home and listen to the
yOung woman next door.

Raising IIerringS.

MeissOnier, the painter, had gar
dener who was good bOtanist and u
great wag. He knew the seeds of all
sorts of plants, and MeissOnier was al
ways trying and always failing to puz-
zle him. 81 have got him now" said
Meissonier to some friends ut dinner
party, and he showed them ii package
of the roe of dried herrings. Then he
sent for the gardener. All the guests
smiled. The gardener arrived. 'Do
you know these seeds ?" Meissonier
asked. The gardener examined them
with great attention. ''Oh, yes" said
he at last, "that is the seed of the pol
opus fu1imHS, very rare tropical
plant" A smile of triumph lighted
the face of Meissonier. Glow long
will it take the seed to come upl"
he asked. "Fifteen days." said the
gardener. At the end of the fifteen
days the guests were once more at the
table. After dinner the gardener was
'nnOunced. an. MeissOnier," he said,
the plants are above ground "Oh,
this is Il little too much, said the great
painter, and all went into the garden
to behold the botanical wonder. The
gardener lifted up glass bell, under
which was little bed carefully made
and in which three rows of red her
rings were sticking up their heads.
The laugh was against Mcssonier. He
discharged the gardener, hut took him
back the next day.

An Argument for Temperance.

The strongest arguments temper
ance advocate may Use often utterly
fail of practical effect, while some lit
tie incid mt in real life, that any day
might disclose, produces an instant and
permanent result. Recently a com
mercial traveller in Chicago was invit-
ed 10 drink by his friends, and to their
surprise he said he had ''sworn off"
He gave this reason 81 called yester-
day on customer who keeps pawn
shop in connection with his other bust
ness. While was there a young man,
wearing threadbare clothes, and look
ing as hard as if he hadn't seen Il sober
day for Il month, came in with Il little
package in his hand. He unwrapped
it, and handed the article to the pawn
broker, saying. Give me ten cents.
And, boys, what do you suppose it
WASP A pair of baby shoes--little
things, with the buttons only Il tritie
soiled, as if they had been worn only
once or twice. 'Where did You get
theseP asked the pawnbrOker. 'Got
'em at home replied the man, who had
an intelligent face and the manner of a
gentleman, despite his sad condition.
MY wife bought them for our baby.
Give me ten cents for 'em-I want Il
drink You had better carry the
shoes back to your wife the baby will
need them said the pawnbroker. NO
s-she won't, because she's dead. She's
lying at home now-died last night
AS he said this the poor fellow broke
down, bowed his head on the show
case, and cried like child. Boys
said the drummer, lyon can laugh il
You please, but II have IA baby III
home, and | solcmnIy swear I'll never
drink another drop"

Do TOadS Do Harm (!

Strange as it may appear, all do not
recognize friend in the toad, for we
are asked, ''if they do any harm in the
garden ?" Under the writer's front
stoop there is Il shelter for several
toads, and it is great amusement to
watch them rs they come out towards
night for their evening meal. An in
sect is seen, and then he is not. One
cannot at first sight, follow the rapid
motion of the tongue of the toad, as it
whips up the insect with the rapidity
of wink. The ancient belief that
the tOad's head contained 'jewel, y
must have had reference to that
tongue of his, which is indeed ga jew
el" in the way of an insect destroyer.
Harris, the entomolOgist, states that he
fed toad with some black caterpil-
lars, about three-fOurths of an inch
long. When he had fed IA hundred he
was tired, but the toad was not, but he
was ready for more. Toads are wei
coined in our garden, but snakes,
which sometimes come in from the
woods near by, are not, but only be-
cause they prey upon toads. By all
means encourage the toads, and dis
courage the snakes.

For the Farmer and Mechanic.
FALKLAND, Pitt Co., n. c..
Nav 18th. 1884,

At the State convention, the name of
Capt. William A. Darden will be urged
for Auditor. No man possesses more
of the necessary qualifications for that
responsible office. He has been a life
long unfaltering Democrat. He is high
ly educated, graduating with honor At
Randolph Macon College, Virginia. He
has had large experience of a fiduciary
nature, and is noted for being an ac-
countant and careful business man.
He is a fine stu~mp-speaker, and would
add strength to the canvass. He has
ever been a farmer, and has the cause
of the farmer and laborer at heart /; and
feels that Notwithstanding they number
80 per cent. of the voting population !;
and pay directly and indirectly nine
tenths of the taxes, yet they are but the
underlings and su~bOrdinates Of the mo-
nopolist and Ring politicians.
When we consider that the Old North
State is regarded as pivotal, wherein the
political armies are closely divided, and
where every inch of the battle-ground
will be aggressively contested by the
''mongrels," and when We consider that
$4,000 voters stayed away from the
polls in the Jarvis and Bennett CAM
paigns would it not be wisdom to place
more farmers and mechanics on the
State ticket, and less railroad, lawyer,
and ring politician? 1t may not be
nice, and it may be naughty, and it may
be lamentable, yet it is true, that we
have men that will not vote for a law
yer, unless Gas an old farmer expresses
IT'D it was for judge, attorney, or a law
yer's place. Your correspondent will
vote for the nominees, but if the party
desires to succeed facts should not be
ignored. w.

General Earl vanOorn.

He was a very valuable officer, but an
irrepressible man after the fair sex. He
was a very small, handsome person, not
over five and a half feet high with blue
eyes and an unusually fine set OF white
teeth. He and General Hlndman were
both noted for their disposition TO be ten
der to women, and both got In serious
trouble about it. Gen. FanDorn paying
the penalty of his life at the hands Of an
outraged husband, and General Hindman
being assassinated in his own house At
night, some vengeful foe shooting him at
night through the window sitting at his
ireside with his family. General Hind
man also was a very handsome man, and
a gallant soldier.
General VanDern had military genius.
He was possessed of courage and skill.
He was both daring and strategic. lie
was an excellent master of the art OF war
and had the capacity, very rare, OF hand
ling large bodies of troops independent
ly.
VanDorn believed in fighting. In
every council Of war he was for battle,
and it must be confessed he sometimes
took chances, trusting to the pluck OF his
men in overcoming superiority of num-
bers. He was a. wonderful a%ssaulter, and
was an uneq ualled leader to take charge
of q storming movement. No disaster
ever diminished his courage and hope
~fulness. He evidently loved danger and
courted peril. He had q bulldog spirit
that made him cling to his enterprise with
an u~nyielding tenacity.
VanD0rn's extrication of his army after
Il - -,
of generalship. he had his defeated
army of ll.000 men and 400 wagons.
General Ord confronted him with 10, 600
federals and Rosecrans was behind HIM
five miles, at Tuscumbia bridge with 20
600 federals. He drove Ord back, struck
RosecraDs heavily, and then slipped out
from between them without the loss OF a
wagon.
When he was killed in 1868, in middle
Tennessee, he was at the head Of Bragg S
cavalry. He was just on the point OF
making a raid with s, 1000 men across the
Ohio river. His death lost us as valua-
BILE a cavalry officer as we had, whose flu
ture no man could have measured. 1t
must ever remain a matter of profound
regret that he died in the manner in
which he lest his life. 1t seems Ditiful
that SO noble and capable 4 soldier should
have been married by an imperfection so
serious as his libsrtine tendency. 1t was
a curious incongruity that he combined
with this evil proclivity of cruel disregard
for female virtue a tender senslblllty tor
children. His handsome appearance and
charming manners, his delightful agreea-
bility and gallant demeanor and record as
a soldier made a combination very attrac-
tive to women, and it seems deplorable
that these winning elements of fascina-
ton should have been for wrong pur-
poses. Few men perhaps are able to re-
sist strong temptation. To the credit OF
the masculine sex few men engaged de-
liberately and generally in the overthrow
of female purity.
VanDorn persisted in the very tide of a
great and heroic career. Had he lived
he would unquestionably have become
one of the best and most successful gen.
erals of the civil war.

Thousands hasten TO Their

Relying on testimonials written in
vivid glowing language of some miracu-
