Words Of Commendation.
1Edpefeld Adyertiser.1

Prof. D. B. Bushy, A. NJ, President
of the Emory High School, writing to
US on 2 matter of business, has the
following 10 say anent the Butler-Wat-
son debate at Bstesburg:
II am pleased with the position of
our two papers at the County seat on
the Butler-Watson and kindred sub
jects. Men of proven efficiency like
Senator Butler, whose services have
always in peace and war been at the
call of the country, deserve something
better than seems to have been shown
at Batesburg. In these perilous times,
the highest hopes Of the country seem
to me to consist in strict adherence to
Democratic principles, to which the
fundamental principle, of the sub
treasury scheme are evidently dianletri'
cally opposed.
Very truly yours,
D. B. BUsBY.

A delightfully."- dainty kind of: farm
ing, more elegantly sethestic than grow
ing lilies in Bermuda and almost as
profitable as raising checks and bank
notes, is that of Mr.. Timothy Hopkins
of Menlo Part, California. In grove
of giant oaks Mr.. Hopkins has five
acre patch of violets of the rarest and
most beautiful varieties-double whites,
double blues, sky blue. and one variety
which is blue with a faint dot of red on
one of the petals. The violets are
planted in rows two feet apart, and
under the cool shade and in the leaf
mould soil they attain perfection. For
six months year the grower ships an
average of fifty bunches of violets daily
to San Francisco, and the returns are
not far from the same number Of dol
lars.

Land Poor.

The Life I'd Choose.

If to choose the life that I
Would like to lead were free,
III! tell you what. my girls and boys,
My choice would surely be-;
Not that OF lady rich and proud,
Who but foc pleasure cares,
Who dwells in stately mansion ard
The rarest jewels wears,
With many servants at her call
And all that gold can buy
That's not the life Pd choose, my girls,
Oh, no, my boys, not I.
Nor that Of one by genius set
Above the work-day crowd,
Of whose great gift, whate'er it be
The whole wide world is proud;
Around whose brow wreath is twin
ed,
The laurel wreath of fame,
And who, wherever s:ae may go,
Is met with loud acclaim,
While with each other eager throngs
To do her honor vie
That's not the life I'd choose, my girls,
Oh! no, my boys, not I.
For, to my mind, a dreary thing
Is idle, costly mirth,
And splendid dress and jewels seem
To me of little worth.
And laurel crown, fear me much,
May be most bravely worn,
And yet hide, mid its shining leaves,
To wound the brow, a thorn.
And then both wealth and fame must
| bear
The public ever nigh,
So neither would I have, my girls,
Oh! no, my boys, not I.
A country life for me, my girls,
On some old farm, my boys,
Where many trees make pleasant
| shade,
Far from the city's noise;
Where | might watch the sewers SOW,
While birds sang loud and sweet
In early spring the fresh plowed fields
With oats and corn and wheat,
And soon thereafter leaflets green
Above the mold descry-
Oh! that's the life I'd choose, my girls,
Indeed, my boys, would I.
Where I might hear the low of kline,
The hum of busy bees,
The whirr of insect wings, the sweet
Faint whispers Of the breeze,
And gee the fruit on tree and vine
Grow ripper day by day,
And smell the honeyed clover tufts
And fragrant new-mown hay.
Beneath my feet the grass-green earth,
O'erhead the vast blue sky
Oh! that's the life I'd choose, my girls
Indeed, my boys, could I.

AS the resignation Of the office OF

unjust rumors have gained circulation,
it is but proper to say, that, from what

by collaterals, and his bondsmen are
also secured. Col. Assmann has held
the office for nineteen years and has
been a most efficient and courteous
official, and we regret that he has seen
proper to tender bis resignation.
