For the Times.
TO THE YOUNG BOYS OF UNION.

Boys, don't drink, It's an evil that grows,
Aud scattcrs ruin wherever it goes;
'Tis source of sorrow, sadness and woes,
And deals TO our race the heaviest blows.
Then, boys, don't drink" but join the good
band,
That's fighting to Grive it out of our land,
Manly contending with heart and hand,
To shield good woman aud save brave man.
Now little folks, listen for while
Touch not the monster while you re n child,
And when you get old your song will be,
| am from the drunkard's 5 chains quite free.
May God in His mercy help you to keep
\loof from the bowl Of sadness deep,
Having no cause to mourn or to weep
Der follies past, awake asleep.
Unfurl the flag of Temperance bright,
And under its folds make the good fight;
They "can conquer, who but think they can,
And though you are boys, fight like a man.
Boys, don't drink, if you would ever rise
TO mansions Of bliss beyond the skies;
The set is doomed at the grand assize,
Lost, forever the glorious prize.

Senator Hampton has been called away
again by family misfortune. These re-
peated calamities have almost broken the
old hero's heart. | am informed, too, that
hc says he is physically breaking down, and
that the wound on his head, received in bat
tic, is troubling him so that be notices a
failure of memory. 1t may be that his
affections are being gradually withdrawn
from mortal affairs and fixed on those that
arc eternal 81. r. r. in augusta Chron-

great benefit to their health. Cut and par
tly cure-say exposed to sun and air for
one day-before feeding this will reduce
the water in them and render them less
laxative. Any disposition to scour may be
prevented by a mixed ration of dry and
green forage; perhaps this is preferable
from, every point of view. Cheap stock
feed is like cheap coal for au engine: it
reduces the cost Of production of everything
raised on the farm aud we must bear in
mind that money saved is equivalent to
money made. If fone can reduce the cost

Same to him as if he sold for one cent more
per pound. AN abundance of cheap forage
makes less grain necessary. When not at
work, stock may be kept with little or no
grain it fed full rations of good forage. If
you have prepared for large crop of cot

cotton land in these forage crops they will
pay you better than cotton.
PREPATloNs FOR THE GRAIN HARVEST
Bear in mind that grain harvest will soon
be at hand and arrange work ahead with
reference to it. Get crops clean, we'll worked
now, so that they may bear short neglect
during harvest. Some enterprising man in
every neighborhood ought to be encouraged
to buy reaper and cut all the grain just

WINTER OATs.-Fall oats were quite

THE CLERK AND THE HEIREss-A sin.
gular story comes from tho province
Limburg, on the Dutch frontier. The
owner of large manufactory, who had mar
ricd young and was left .Yidower, had au

paying attention. Her father noticed that
she treated them all with indifference and
showed preference for a young clerk of his,
an orphan, with no means but his salary.
AS he had always given the greatest satis~
faction in the performance Of his duties,
and was exceedingly we'll conducted, the
father, persuaded that he would never ven
ture to raise his eyes to his daughter, who
evidently was sincerely attacked to him,
made up his mind to broach the matter to
him.
What was his surprise when the young
clerk, after much hesitation, told him he
would only be too happy to regard the lady
as sister, but he could not marry her, be-
cause he was not a man, but a young woman
in dissuisc-a disguise she had adopted
when left an orphan in order to get more
lucrative situation. The conclusion of the
story is that, instead of marrying the daugh-
ter, she is the wife of the father Chicaqo
Herald.
