The Mean MaHs TriuMfh.

 II jrst have,' replied he, follow. ed up by a hearty laugh. "My wife and I haven't lived happily together for the last year, and she has made up her mind to apply for a divorce.'

 "Yoa wouldn't thiaal 80, if you knew her. She expects me to fight the proceedings you know. She is going to allege cruelty on my part, and for the last two weeks has been working mp scars to show the jury. She's torn mp a bonnet and will have the pieces to show what a bad temper l have. She's cut the buttons of 6 dress, and will have it in court as an evi- dence of my tyrany. She's going before a jury to swear that threat, ened her life on several occasions, and she's got two servants to re- member that 1 once cut her corset strings with a butcher knife. She's calculating ora big sensation and crowded court room-ha ha ha !n
 "But where does the laugh come n7"
 "Wby, skip the town for Den yer tonight, and she'll have tC pay her own lawyer and get hel bill without sensation.

Progressive Southern Women.

In veryproper field of enter prise Southern women are making fine headway. Their achievements in literature, journalism and edu- cational specialties arc too well known to require mention. A North Carolina lady in New York has 100 typewriter operatives m der her. She supplies business houses with type writing clerks and enj oys handsome income. A South Carolina girl at the Cooper Institute took the first money prize for engraving; another took the first prize for drawing from life - Another Southern girl received the first cirtiticate in drawing last session. A South Carolina lady has made over fifty inventions, ma ny of which she has patented.- They range from fire escapes to cooking stoves. These few instan- ces show that Southern women are keeping pace with the progress of the age. They do not propose to idle when million problems appeal to them for solution.-At- lanta Constitution.

The Coming.Plymouth Rock.

This famous and grand breed of fowls is iustly%s.t most popular one m existence at this time. When it was first introduced 1t was taken up by fanciers because of it's beauty of plumage, it is al- most perfect symetry, and the most desirable of qualities, the size. flavor and laying qualities combined. No other fowl had been known to possess so many profitable as we'll as fanclful points as the Plymouth Rock, and no other fowl has ever possessed these qualities in a greater degree since. Other breeds have been produced, or crossed, improved and managed in various ways, in order to call the attention of fan ciers and farmers away from the Plymouth Rock, but all to no pur- pose, for he has held his way in the face of the greatest efforts to head him of or break him down, and to-day he stands at the head 1.-the list of general purpose chickens.
 The Plymouth Rock is a hard fowl to breed up to the standard l am willing to admit, but also l claim that it can be and is bred up to the standard, and will continue to be so. IL is the delight of all earnest men to undertake any thing difficult and never let up un' til they master it. Edison was not discouraged in his efforts to invent telephone, and all know of his success. Neither do men expect to stop where they are at present with the Plymouth Rock, but ex- pect to maintain him at the head of general purpose chickens as he has ever been. It's size shall in crease at no expense of the almost perfect symmetry he now has. Its plumage is susceptible of i'm provement and shall not be neg, lected, The laying qualities ofthe hens have given them a place as a poftable winter chicken. only second to the Leghorn, and these shall be kept up until the Plymouth Rock shall be acknowledged by all as the best chicken in existence.

When to Quit Advertising.

You can quit advertising when every man has become so thorough ly creature of habit that he will certainly buy this year where ffe bought last year; when the yo ung- CT and spunkier conc:rns than your line cease starting up and us ing the newspapers in telling the people how much better they cass do for them than you can; when nobody else thinks it pays to ad- vertise; when the populations cease to multiply, and the genera tions that crowd on after you, cease coming on. When you have convinced everybody whose life touches yours, that you have bet ter goods and lower prices than they can ever get outside of your store; when you perceive it to be 9 rule that men who never do, and never did, advertise are ontstrip- ping their neighbors in the same line Of business. When you can forget the words of the shrewdest and most successful business men concerning the main capse of their prosperity; when you would s.rath- CT have your own way and fail than take advice and win.-Lin- cOln fNeb CaDita1

Worn Out Lands.

The older settled portions Of many of our Sothern States are dotted ovcr," as it were, with worn out, and in many instances, abandoned farms and plantations. The abandoning of a farm for no other reason than that it is "worn out" simply slows a woeful lack of agricultural konwledge. There IS. in our judgement, no piece of land that has ever renumerated the hand of tiller, that cannot again be be made to poduce equally as well as at first, if properly managed, The process is a simple che and IS none other than that of rotation ot crops. These worn out lands Will produce peas, rye or eoou grass; when these are grown they can be pastured down, and turned as a green manure, and this can be followed up from year to year, until the soil is sufficiently fertll- ized to produce another crop such as wheat, oats, &c. Meantime add lime, wood ashes, muck, manure, &c. for d top dressing, blow. deep and harrow well, and avoid cotton and corn as a crop until the land IS well fertilized, sufficiently so at least to grow other crops success fully.-Rural and Workman.

"As the twig is bent, so is the tree inclined" This is a meta phorical proyerb. We never knew a tree had any inclinations at all, unless it had an inclination to leave. Any one can see that there are great many twiggs on tree, and they are bent in great many different directions. Now, 8 tree hasn't got time to pay attention to all of them. If the provers had sta. ted that as the tree is bent so is the small boy inclined, one might have been able to see some sense in it.
