."All Right Enough"

A man living in Indiana said, "Well,
temperance is all right enough, but there
are matters of more importance before the
people now." Two nights after he made
the above remark, a spring wagon was
stopped in front of his house about o'clock
in the morning. His wife looked out of the
window and saw six men carrying some
thing on door or wide board. She guessed
what it was in an insta!i5, and giving wild,
frantic scream, cried, my boy, o, my boy!
He is dead! l have been fearing this would
happen by that cursed whiskeyl" Sure
enough it was her son brought home nearly
dead. He had been drunk and engaged in
a saloon brawl. He was beaten into almost
a shapeless, uurecognizable mass. Are ex-
periences like this needed to show Chris
tian men and women that there is some
thing for them to do in the temperance
cause?-Home Guard.
The Nashville Christian Adrocate in a
recent editorial says: "High license as a
preventive of drunkenness means fewer
places where liquor is sold, bit not fewer
drinkers. 1t means a shade more of re-
spectability in the business of liquor-sell-
ing, but no abatement of the awful results.
The Register, published at Lincoln, in its
September number, referring to the opera
tion of high-license in that SFate, says
''Under the high license law of this State,
the saloons flourish, the men who keep
them grow rich, and defy the law in every
city, ~

The WHOLE GREATER THAN A PART
The resolution adopted by the State Com
mittee in its meeting at Alexandria on
Thursday, which strongly deprecates tariff
agitation, was only intended to express the
Individual opinions of the members of the
committee, but nevertheless it is doubtless
also the opinion of wellnigh all the Demo
Gratis of Virginia
Revenue tariff Democrats are unwilling to
draw the party line at the tariff and thus to
exclude those who agree with them upon
all other questions of public policy Nor
are they willing-mark it Ito have protec-
ion forced down their throats. But they
are willing and ready to subordinate this
issue to the many others that go to make up
reform. Tariff reform is great need, but
it is only part of that general reform which
the Republican party has persisten ntly re-
fused to carry out and which the people will
entrust to the Democracy in November
Tariff reform is, therefore, not the only
issue; and, moreover, it is impossible to ed
ucate the misguided and deceived among
both parties in the hot conflict of presi-
Dental campaign. 1t is not the purpose of
the Democracy that the tariff shall exclude
the other great questions-of pure ami
economical administration of affairs, of the
| right of local government, and of thor
oughly unsectiOnal and reunited country.
The Republicans are eager to hide under
the gross but deceptive doctrine of protec-
tion all their whiskey rings, star-route
frauds, Mulligan letters and De Golyer jobs,
their dangerous efforts at centralizing the
Federal Government, and their long history
of partisan hate and persecution. But this
they cannot do if the Democrats are willing
to subordinate single economical question
to the preservation and publication of a
Government that belongs to the people, that
is withheld from them through dect pt!on
and corruption, and that they demand shall
be restored to them once more.-Richnond

She has land of her ain, and she's gold put

And she listened sac fain and sac pleased to

She gave to my dog bath bone and a drink ?
After that we went regular, Pepper and 1.
And Pm sure that the clever wee collie knew

If she likes your dog ten to one she likes you.

CORN AS FOoD.-Corn is not good for
a steady diet. 1t is too starchy and does
not contain sufficient mineral and albumin-
Gus matter. Thus it produces too much
heat or fat, and as fat is really disordered
condition of the system, it is always accom-.
panied by more or less fever or disease of
the blood. The results of exclusive corn
feeding are seen in the frequent hog chole-
ra, chicken cholera, and epizooty, pink-eye,
and other diseases of horses. Horses fed
wholly on corn become hidebound. the di-
gestiOn becomes disordered, and various
evils occur through the consequent imper-
feet nutrition. Corn may be fed to q fst-
tening animal without injury, because be-
fore the injury can occur the animal is out
of the way and death saves it in fact. Bat
for working animal it should be fed with
oats or bran or both and the mixture be-
comes perfect food, which is digested and
affords healthful nutriment.

of waters. Sight, the red lamps of the
lighthouse. Feeling, that of the wet SAND
against his face. Some strange providen &C
had saved Sandy Cameron's life. Bruised
and weak, he lay motionless for long while
Bruised and weak, still he staggered to his
feet at last.
Above him-his sailor eye used to remem.
ber such things-towered well-known rocks,
kissed by struggling moonlight. The sea
had flung him into the arms of his native
seaport; and up above, man wanderin 6
along the shore, watching the lighthouse
signals, perhaps, was singing hymn:
"There's light in the window for thee. brother;
There's light in the window for thee;"
And then the tears rolled down the sailors
cheeks, and his softened heart yearned for
the mother who had said: "I'll keep light
till ye come back, Sandy"
Twenty years ago, and she was nearly
fifty then. Probably she was dead; but
some one might be in the old home yet, who
could tell him of her. And so, in the mid
night darkness, the sailor staggered up the
river path, through the changed streets,
and, led by the compass of his heart, to the
lane where his boyhood home had been SO
long before.
now; but at its end, or he dreamt, Sandy
saw candle-gleam. He drew nearer. No
fancy misled him. Yes, between the cur
tains stood candle, in very truth-and in
the window of his own old home. He stag
gered on, his heart beating wildly. He
struck the door with his hand. He waited,
trembling, and the door opened; at it stood
an old, old woman, with white hair-his
mother. He knew her stern, strong features
and her blue eyes still.
''What's this ?'' she said, in her Scottish
accent; and he answered:
ga poor sailor, shipwrecked and needing
shelter.
''Come in," she said, ''come in and warm
ye. It's bitter night. The candle led ye
here, ma don't. It's burnt these twenty
years. Ye wonder at that? I'd boy once.
He left me. The candle burns for him.
'I've fancy it will vile him back yet; and
I've gone without bread, many time, to
keep it burnin'. The others are all dead;
but I'll not believe he's gone; and said I'll
keep light till ye come back, Sandy-and
l will"
And then, as he flung himself on his knees
before her, she knew that Sandy had come
back, indeed.
He never again forsook her. A better son
and better man than Sandy came to be,
those of the seaport say they may never see
again. And if you 60 hither, they will point
you out the little cottage window, at which,
strong in her faith for his return, Captain
Cameron's mother kept light burning for
him for all the nights for twenty years-that
and the mansion where, with her son, now
married and captain of an ocean steamer,
she yet lives to bless him.

Corn Culture.

A Kentucky farmer says in the Practical
Farmer: There are five grand points to
successful culture-sOil, manure, fertilizers,
tillage and seed The soil is the base upon
which we have to work and the better the
soil the surer the success; but we all do not
have rich land and must make use of such
as we have and depend on the other four
points. The next point is manure. The
soil should receive a liberal coat of manure.
1t should be spread on the field, then thor
oughly mixed with the soil, the more thor
oughly this is done the better-which forms
a good base for the fertilizers.
This is the third point-corn as soon as it
sends down its radicle needs food But
manure is too coarse for it to feed upon and
fertilizer combining all the elements of
plant food in a more soluble form; is reGuir-
ed. 1t is an injudcious practice to fertilize
in the hill only. The roots of corn or any
other plant are similar to the mouths of
animals, they take in both food and water.
and just so soon as the spongioles of the
fibrils pass beyond the fertilizers it has no
more effect. But if the soil is we'll filed
with manure by the time the spongioles
pass beyond the influence of the fertilizer
they are strong enough to feed upon the
manure, which will keep constant feeding
until matured.
The third point, tillage, is very important.
The ground should be well broken and
and thoroughly pulverized, forming good
seed bed; the corn will germinate quickly
and grow vigorously.
The two first plowings should be deep
and thorough, for upon these the crop
greatly depends. After these the soil should
be stirred shallow and often. Stirring the
soil often has besides pulverizing it a chemi.
cal action, which imparts ammonia to the
crop. The crop strives in proportion to the
effectiveness Of the cultivation. Stirring
the soil is equivalent to fertilizing if done
often. and after the two first civilizations
stir the surface only. Deep plowing among
growing corn after the roots have met in
the rows are hurtful, breaking the roots,
checking the growth and in hot dry wealth
er causes the corn to curl, while shallow
working will keep it fresh and green As
soon as crust is formed on the soil it
should be broken up to admit both mois-
ture and air, for the one dissolves the fer
tilizing matter which is in the soil and the
other effects its decomposition and renders
it soluble.
In the fourth point, seed should be care
fully saved. Plant small plot by itself
each year, keeping all barren stalks cut out
that the pollen can fertilize the silks of the
fruitful stalks, select the top ears or the
best ears of the most fruitful stalks. In
this way seed will improve.

PLAsTER.-Keep plaster always on hand.
1t is special fertilizer for clover, beans,
peas and potatoes. 1t will promote the
growth of nearly all plants, affords partial
protection against drought, and will furnish

and for its cost, is the most remunerative.
