Beaux and Bellies in Former Times,

We always sat on the rear benches at
church. and when the doxology had been
sung and the benediction had been pro-
nounced, 1--WE slid out" That is the
Latin for going outside and ranging our
selves in rows just beyond the door and on
either side of the walk leading from it.
When the girls came out, one at time, we
watched our chances and asked the mo-
mentous question Can | see YOU home
to-nlght?" so low nobody but the girl could
hear 1t, and then walked off with her as
proudly as if we had conquered a nation
unless we got 1.-The mitten," sometimes
called = the sack" for short. A cookbook

OF US before she got through w;th the exer-
clses OF the evening. The less desirable
girls came out first, and as all of us were
bent on carrying off the prize beauty, were
permitted to depart for home unmolested.
Some OF them occasionally looked out of
the corners of their eyes at US, as much as
to say, Modest me if you want to-" but we
suffered them to depart in peace. When
the belle of the evening came to the door
there was general sigh outside, and those
nearest her all rendered their arms. She
would cast her eagle eye over the calf past
ure and pick out the one who held highest
favor in her eyes and take his arm and
lean lovingly upon it, while the other boys
found themselves alone in the silent dark
ness with no more girls to ask and none to
go home with or make them afraid. Slowly
and sadly we took up our weary burdens
and wandered toward home, striving to
think of some charm that would enable US

ton is obtained, which is golden yellow

solution becomes darker colored on addi-
ton of nitric acid, and solution of sulpho-
cyanide of potassium imparts deep blood

California, which resembles some of the
described varieties of gallo antico. II is
certainly a very beautiful marble. 1t is
numbered 10 in the museum catalogue.
Sienna marble found near Volterra. is
from cream color 10 dark yellow-some-
times yeined with white and even black.
1t is much employed at the present time,
and is durable and beautiful ornamental
stone. Nummulitic or Verona marble is
in color from cream color to nearly white.
The amphitheater of Diocletian was built
of it. Oriental alabaster or onyx marble
was held in high esteem by the ancients
1000 years or more ago. The quarries
were lost, and for a long time remained
unknown. until discovered in Egypt in
lS49 by NJ. Delmonte, French traveller.
The marble of the same nature found in
California, and known as Suisun marble
and California onyx, is more beautiful in
some of its varieties than the ancient, and
it has gained a worldwide reputation for
beauty. Attention has only lately been
called TO the marbles of our State; and
while few fine varieties are known, many
more will doubtless be found. Dolomite

With Cotton a! Eight s:d a Half Cents, Poor
" Crops and Bad Prices,
WHAT SHALL BE @ N
RALEIGH, n. c., 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, buy
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, oats and grass
must be provided for the horses, COWS
and hogs. High-priced fertilizers and eve
ry 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,
wants to inform the prudent men just
described how they can help themselves
and help a home enterprise by buying
LIME PHOSPHATE, the cheapest Phos-
phate ever sold in North Carolina. 1t is
to the interest of every farmer in North
Carolina to write to the NORTH CARO-
LIMA PHOSPHATE COMPANY at
Raleigh, N. c., and learn how to save
money and make a good fertilizer that
will make a good crop at a very low
price.
