At Dinner With a Great Man.
TErom the Brooklyn Easle. l


The proper number of guests for q
dinner party is q difficult thing to SET
tie. If they are men, by far the safer
plan is to limit the number to four or
make it more than g. dozen. Six
diners are too many to keep in one
conversation, and it is difficult to
make two sets of takers out of so
small number. If there are 8 dozen
or fifteen, the men naturally pair off
or pull their chairs about into little
groups. Never ask great man to
dine with small people. l remember a
dire failure in the way of q dinner ito
which / was q party years ago. A col
lege friend gave the dinner and all ten
diners, with one exception, were class.
mates The exception was an eminent
mantle young hosts uncle. He
came to oblige the boy. He ruined the
feast. We were appalled, by his digni-
ty, his official greatness and his pom
derous condescension, and we sat and
regarded him silently instead of enjoy
ing ourselves. lam afraid that he was
very much of q prig, too, for his man
ner was overbearing in the extreme.
Beside, he called us "boys," and what
could be more CALLING to the college
man than that? His influence over
us may be estimated from the fact
that when he refused artichokes every
solitary one of us did likewise, though
they were a great delicacy to most OF
us.
AS this man acted on our dinner so
is a stranger of any pretensions apt
to influence a dinner of cronies. After
all, the only perfect dinners are inn
promptu ones, and as for numbers
well, see great many gray haired
and experienced men of the world din
ing about town just now, and [ have
observed that the number of diners is

MORNING, NOON. AND NIGHT.
BY FRANK t. CHAMPION.

Ont of the depths of the unknown deep,
Rorne on the crimson breast of morn,
Cometh from out their lonely sleep
blossoms of hope, AID life is born.
Beauteous buds are they, whose birth
Sheddeth glory over earth.
Fragrant and pure is the morning air,
Thrilling beneath the kiss of spring;
Ethereal blue the skies, and fair
Hangeth a peace o er everything.
Glorious timel Maturity
Hideth away in futurity.
High DER the earth through boundless space,
Sitting through silent air its rays
Rolleth the sun, whose mighty lace
Burneth to ashes summer days;
DAVIS that are filled with life and light,
FILLED with the splendors OF delgnt.
Into the blue of the summer sky
Drifteth little cloud; away
Tn the hazy depths of the north q sign,
Hollow and sad, floats upward "Stayl
O, hour, that goeth all too soon
Linger d little longer, noon
sT,engthen the chain OF the day a link,
o glorious noon that may lie,
Kissed by thy beams, upon the Drink
OF life s decline, and with raptureo eye,
Feast on the sweets of manhood's prime,
Failing away from the scythe OF time"
Leaden and dull are the autumn skies;
Drifteth the yellow leaves around
Riseth the whstling wind and cries
Mockingly unto the barren ground;
Grantees the fields, and the oreaIy PldlH
Shuddereth meath the driving rain
Out of the glare of the roaring day,
Iuto the awful gloom OF night,
Casped in the arms of pale decay,
B.ossomless buds of hope from sight
Pass to eternal bloom, and sweep
Out and beyond the unknown deep.

the 1,3OO,OOOinhabitants only 1,OO0,-
900 wear boots and shoes, at an aver
age cost of only 6 marks per pair, last

WHAT SHALL BE DONE?
RALEIGH. n. c.. Feb. !. 1S25

RALEIGH, N. O., Feb. 1, 1885,
The situation Of our Farmers, and
more especially Of those in the Eastern
Counties. is a serious one. With cotton
at 81 cents and everything else in the
same proportion, it is doubtful whether
our people can make cotton at all
with the old method. Thousands of
thoughtful men all through the
South are considering earnestly this
question: WHAT SHALL BE DONE?
With prices of their products way down
and the prices of all they buy not re.
duced in the same proportion, what
shall be done to feed the family, buv
clothes and send the children to school
during this New Year? All this time
sensible men are cutting down every ex-
pense and resolving that they will make
more at home. Milk, meat, vegetables
must be made in larger quantities and
groceries saved corn, bats and grass
must be provided for the horses, COWS
and hogs. High-priced fertilizers and eve
nv extra thing are entirely out of the
question. The wise man will buy the
cheapest and best ingredients only and
make fertilizers at home this year.
At this time, THE NORTH CARROLL.
MA PHOSPHATE COMPANY, an ex-
clusively North Carolina Company, work
ing nothing but North Carolina material,

to the interest of every farmer in North

money and make a good fertilizer that
will make a good crop at a very low
price.

A GEORGIA

The Butler(Ga.) Herald says: One
of those heroines of whom the world
hears but little lives near Lexington,
in this State. Her name is Sallie
Handsfort. Her husband has been
bedridden for 9 years with rheuma-
tism, and she had four children-two
boys and two girls-to support. Last
year she bought 1O7 acres of land,
much in original forest, and with
the aid Of the two boys, fourteen and
fifteen years old, cleared five acres,
She cut down the trees, rolled the
logs, split the rails, built the fence
and burned the brush with their
help alone, and raised nine bales of
cotton, also corr and peas enough for
her Nv use, and paid her rent, her
store account and $40 on her land
debt. She has bought her meat for
thisyearand paid forit. In addition to
this she has done her cooking, MIXED
her cows, and gone to market with
eggs, chickens and butter, selling
enough to buy all the clothing needed
for her family.

UP MILK.

Cows often indulge in this annoy
ing practice, especially those for the
first time MIXED. When the calf is
removed from the COW, instinct leads
her to thus endeavor to retain sus-
tenance for her offspring. She would
be a very unnatural mother did she
not.
But, however philosophically a
man tries to regard the matter, 1t is
certainly annoying to be thus baked
and hindered at his work. The
motherly instinct of the COW may
induce admiration in the disinter-
ested spectator, but it must ruth
fully be said that it has not that et-
feet upon the attendant. lie does,
in fact, often become very impatient,
and sometimes extremely and I'M
reasonably angry. This, Of course,
does him no manner Of good, for his
excitement and irritation seem to be
contagious. The COW manifests her
disapprobation and fear by stepping
uneasily about, by which means,
without being in the least vicious,
she often brings down a torrent OF
wrath, ~imprecations, and blows from
the e~xasperated mixer.
If a young COW, this is a most ser
ious mishap which is quite apt to
result in that abomination-a chron-
ic kicker. Lessons given at this i'm
pressible age are hard to efface.
Much of the value Of the COW de-
ponds upon her treatment at this
time. The attendant may feel mad
all over inside-he a hardly help
it-but 'twon't do to show it.. He
must "smile and SMILE" even if he
be "a villain still" Soft words and
gentle touches go a long way, even
with Il dumb brute. Slivering a
milking stool across the poor COW,
never yet made the milk come down.
Give her some nice mes that will
occupy her attention while you
gently draw the milk. She will soon
grow to like the operation, and be
pleased to see the milk pail coming.
It is a relief to a COW to draw the
milk from the udder, and with a fair
chance she will always prove a firm
friend of the milker.-W ID. BOyn-
ton, IN Farmers Call.
