ALONE IN THE WORLD.

The man who has no family ties,
no sympathizing companions, no ge-
NAL relations with his fellow-men,
is very properly said to be " alone in
the world" But such utter iso-
lation can only be the result of vol
ition. Even the unfortunate who
has outlived all who were nearest
and dearest to him, and can say with
the lone Indian" Logan, Not
a drop of my blood runs in the veins
of any living creature" may find
friends who will, in part, at least,
supply the place of the dead.
We hear sometimes of people who
have been soured by misfortune or
injustice retiring from the world.
The more fools they The world can
do without them, but they cannot SO
we'll do without the world. The
more they NOPE in solitude the more
unhappy they must necessarily be-
come, for man is cOnstitutiOnally gre
garious and social, and cannot live
hermit life without violating the con-
ditions upon which his mental health
depends. The most terrible punish
ment which the law can inflict upon
a criminal is the living death of per-
petual solitary confinement. What
downright idiocy then it must be
to seek in loneliness balm for sor-
row.
1t will be said perhaps that the con-
solutions of religion may be enjoyed
by those who abandon active duties
of life and seclude themselves from
their fellow-men We doubt the truth
ofthis theory. Religion, real religion,
is active, social, beneficent not inert,
morose, and selfish ii seeks to heal
the SORROWS Of others. and does not
waste itself in idly moping over ones
own gr1evance.-[New York Ledger.

A MARKET.

Speaking of markets, Northern
New England is not fully awake
to the fact that right in her midst
exists a great summer market. The
White Mountain and seaside resorts
are sending thousands of dollars
every year to Boston for poultry,
eggs, butter, ETC., and Boston gets
them West. Why? Because none
of those supplies, aside from butter,
are produced here in sufficient quaint
ties. Boston dealers can buy them
West, pay freights, cost of repackiug
and resh1pping, salaries and expenses
of men to visit those resorts weekly,
soliciting orders, and a profit is
realized. All that is necessary is for
farmers here to raise what the
market demands. City boarders are
peculiar and won't eat hay. The
raising of more poultry, small fruits,
etc, needn't interfere materially
with the other farm projects-while
adding greatly to the profits.
1t might not be practicable for in
dividual farmers to make journeys
to Franconia, or Old Orchard, from
Northern Vermont for the purpose of
disposing of two chickens and a
solitary egg, but if the farmers of a
neighborhood or town would COM
bine, the services of one OF their num-
Der could be secured to make the
sales for all and attend to matters
of delivery. In another column will
be found letter from the Nation,
under head of New Hampshire Inn
keeping" though written with special
reference to Bethlehem and vicinity,
it contains volumes of common sense
that can be truthfullv applied to any
part of Northern New England

MARKETING.

The marketing of produce in suit
portance, as good article in dirty or
unstable packages produces in the
buyer an unfavorable impression,
which nothing but discount in price
will satisfy. Not only taste and
judgment are necessary in present
ing farm produce in a pleasing man
ner, but great care is required, that
no damage occurs to the goods
through the omission of some import
ant yet simple detail. In the ship
ment of butter, for instance, this ex-
tract from recent letter from a
Boston groceryman, fits the case
exactly:
Il have had lots of trouble with
butter this summer, on account Of
its sticking to the tub; in fact, in
many instances have been obliged to
break the tub in order to get the but
ter out. 1t is a good plan to wet
the salt on top and the brine will
keep the butter from sticking to the
tub"
This breaking of tubs does not inn
prove the quality, form or price of
butter; besides it effects the spiritual
condition of the groceryman, and all
caused by the failure of the dairy
man to apply little water. And so
through the whole catalogue of farm
marketing. An egg is small affair.
yet behold the condition of many of
them when placed in the market,
coated with fertilizers, or black with
age, necessitating assassination be-
fore using. The demand for poultry
products is increasing, and the pains
taking producer in that line, as in all
other farm branches, is the one who
gets the good price, and ready sales.

THE SIBERIAN REGISTER.

There is an administrative regula-
ton in force in most Siberian penal
settlements requiring political exiles
toappear police-station daily, semi
weekly, or weekly, and sign their
names in register. The intention,
apparently, is to render escapes more
difficult by forcing an exile to come,
at short intervals to the local authori-
ties, and say, l am still here; I
haven't escaped" And as proof that
he hasn't escaped they make him sign
his name in a book. 1t is stupid
regulation; it affords no security
whatever against escapes; it is in
tensely humiliating to the personal
pride of the exile, especially if the
authorities happen to be brutal,
drunken, or depraved men; and it
causes more heartburning and ex-
ASPIRATION than any other regulation
in the whole exile code.-[Geo Ken

NEATNESS IN GIRLS.

Neatness is good thing for a girl,
and if she does. not learn it when she is
young, she never will. 1t takes a
great deal more neatness to make a
girl look well than it does to make a
boy look passable. Not because a
boy, to start with, is better looking
than girl, but his clothes are OF
a different sort, not SO many colors
in them; and people don't expect a
boy to look so pretty as girl. A
girl that is not neatly dressed is call
ed a sloven, and no one likes to look
at her. Her face may be pretty, and
her eyes bright, but il there is spot
of dirt on her cheek, and her fingers
ends are black with ink. and her shoes
are not laced or butt oned up, and her
apron is dirty, and her collar is not
buttoned, and her skirt is torn, she
cannot be liked. Learn to be neat, and
when YOU have learned it, it will
almost take care of itself Christian

FOR THE FARM.
REPUTATION

Number one comes to the top just
as naturally concerning farm pro-
duce as in other things. Frequently
the remark is heard, that Farmer
So-and-So gets a better than the
market price for his wares, but then
his butter, sugar or beef, as the case
NAV be, lis no better than ours, only
his produce has got a reputation.
Admitted without argument that
reputation will accomplish much in
certain direction but it won't work
in the eating line. The idea of
crowding into high-priced customers
poor food doesn't materlallZe for any
length of time If your neighbor is
and has been receiving better prices
for his products than yourself, 1t is a
pretty sure indication that he is plac-
ing a better article on the market,
hence the reputation is just. In the
acquiring of that reputation certain
principles and methods have been APP
piled, of which perhaps you are ignor-
ant Investigate the matter, honest
ly, not in spirit of envy; it is pos
sible to improve. Of course there is
a wide difference in farmers as to
shrewdness in making sales, but
farm produce of superior order
cannot long escape recognition, and
if the superiority is continued, must
command the number one price.

A VALUABLE PRESCRIPTION

John d. Rockefeller, who has a
larger annual income than any other
man in America, has been hard at
work in pursuit of his lost health the
past summer. He has spent four
months on his farm in Ohio, and has
given himself up entirely to outdoor
pursuits. AIRY ed in overalls and
his shirtsleeves, he has worked with
his men, ploughing and planting his
fields and cultivating and gathering
in his crops. He has sawed wood
for days and has shoveled the earth
for roadways in his township. The
result of all this is, instead of being
the physical wreck he was when he
quit his counting-room, broken down
with nervous exhaustion, he is now
In robust health. The prescription
is worth preserving. 1t is a sure
cure for growing complaint among
men of the day Boston Herald.

from his grandmother garden in

a if it had been taken from d plaster

wrist were as symmetrically pro-
portioned and almost as perfectly
shaped as if they had been modelled

Is IT A REAL GRIEVANCE /?

T. THOMAS FORTUNE, the we'll
known colored editor of New York,
has vigorous article in the New
York ,Sam protesting against the
Jim Grow cars in some of the South
ern States There is no necessity
for such cars in North Carolina
though there is in States further
South, and@if equal accommodations
are given there ought to be no COM
plant. The colored editor is too
extreme, for in this article
he says 'just as it is impossible for
the State to maintain separate
schools equal in every respect for
the two races, it is impossible for
railroads to maintain dual car SER
vice equal in every respect" This
is bad logic. Here in Raleigh, and
throughout the State, separate public
schools equal in every respect are
maintained for both races, and no
thoughtful negro will deny it.
The New York editor has no real
grievance. We do think that the
negroes have real grievance when
they are denied accommodations
"equal in every respect" with the
whites at railroad inns when they
are travelling. The laws ought to
require hotel keepers to provide at
all railway eating houses frst-class
accommodations for colored travel
lers who are willing to pay for it..
There is no reason why it should be
in the same dining room. The ne
gro does not care for this, but he
does justly complain when he is
compelled to 60 without his dinner
or 90 around to the kitchen for it..
tie is entitled to good accommodate
tions when he travels, and he has a
real grievance when compelled to 90

place where he can get meal.
