WISE WORDS.

A bird doesn't sing by note.
Friendship is love dlslntected.
Love is a spray Of forget-ne-
nOtS.
Babies are sunbeams with
clothes on.
There are volumes i'll a Wo-
mans eyes.
Learn to explain thy doctrine
by thy life.
Kindness out Of season destroys
power.
An ounce of action is worth a
pound of talk.
Happiness doesn't always ride
i'll a carriage.
Blessed are the sorrowful who
carry a CHEEKY face.
Fine manners need the support
of fine manners in others.
A soul occupied with great
ideas best performs small duties
In this world it is not what we
take up, but what we give up
that makes us rich.
TO speak out and to offend
with some people, are but one
and the same thing.
There are three supreme ago
MES in life: the agony of jealousy
the agony of fearing you have
mistaken your talents, and the
agony of ennui.
"God bless you,' is the old
fashioned summing up of sincere
affection, without the least s1n1rl
of studied civility.
In men Of the highest charac
ter and noblest genius there gen
erally exists Unsuitable desire o
honor, command, power, an'
glory.
There is no beautiher OF com
pleXion. or form, or behavior
like the wish to scatter JOY an
not pain around us.

The attractions of Occonee-
chez are too numerous to men
ton in detail. Blooded horses,
Jersey cattle, Essex and Duroc,
Jersey hogs, Shropshire and horn
ed Dorset sheep, fine turkeys,
peafowls, ducks, geese and pig
cons, Italian bees, etc.
The farm is $50 acres i'll eN-
tent and is under splendid sys-
tenn of cultivation. The horse
and COW barns are the finest in
the State, costing $4,000 and
$4,000 respectively. These are
fitted up with the latest I'M
provements. The residence is
the old Norwood house, built
during colonial times, and al
though it has been beautifully
remode1ed it still retains its CO.
lonial style.
CORVALLIS cut the road that
passes in front of the house. The
old clock, sent as a present to
the town Of Hillsboro, by King
George III, can be plainly seen
from the farm.
Col. Carr has spared no pains
or money in identifying this nat
urally very attractive farm. His
club house is something especial
~ to be admired. This, with the
many other buildings, makes
one appreciate Col. Cars arts
tic tastes, and feel that he has
indeed an eye for the beautiful.
The Occoneeche mountain is
to be seen across the road, and
the beautiful little river Enc
runs through the farm, affording
good fishing and fine bathing.
There is high bluff north Of
the house where the river runs
around the foot of the mountain
and standing out on this bluff in
bold relief is an immense rock
called Lovers Leap romantic
from the fact that from its lofty
top beautiful girl committed
suicide, all for sweet loves sake

Words Ct Truth.

Successful advertising requires
brain and good Judgment and
strong common sense. Thou
sands of dollars are thrown away
every day III injudicious adver-
Using. So says one of our con-
temporaries, and yet are not dis
posed to contradict him. Not
that it requires genius to adver
tise judiciously. On the cons
trary the best equipment for an
advertiser is to have something
good to advertise, and then to
make it known i'll plain unmis
taxable manner, and keep OIL
making the public familiar with
it, until success is insured. 1t
does not matter whether he has
goods for sale or work to perform
or a trade journal to circulate,
the requisites for successful adj
vertising are the same, and the
first is to offer something good
to the public. And the next is
to keep on making it known I'M
til you have secured the atten
ton of the public, and mind
never to drop off unless you want
to be forgotten and have to do
some Of your work over again.
It is easier to underdo than over
do advertising. The experience
of advertisers in all tinesshas
been that constancy in advertis-
ing is absolutely indispensable.

CLOTHING FORTHE HEATHER

About a year ago the ladies OF
a certain Dorcas Society made
up a large quantity of shirts,
trousers and socks, and boxed
them up and sent them to mis-
sionary station on the west coast
of Africa. A man named R1dley
went out with the boxes, and
STAYED in Africa several months.
When he returned, the Dorcas
Society of course was anxious TO
hear how its donation was res
ceived, and Ridley, one evening,
met the members and told them
about it in a little speech. He
said,
"Well, you know, we got the
clothes out there all right, and
after a while we distributed them
among some of the natives IN
the neighborhood. We thought
maybe it would attract them to
the mission. but it didn't, and
after some time had elapsed, and
not a native came to church with
those clothes on, | went out on
an exploring expedition to IND
out about it. 1t seems that on
the first day after the goods were
distributed one of the chiefs =
tempted to mount a shirt. lie
didn't exactly understand 1t, and
he pushed his legs through the
arms and gathered the tail up
around his waist. He couldn t
make it stand up, however, and
they say he went around 1nqulr-
ing in his native tongue what
kind of an idiot it was that CON
structed a garment that Wouldn I
hang on, and swearing some OF
the most awful heather oat1s.
At last he let it drag, and that
night he got his legs tangled IN
if Somehow, and fell over 4 prec~
ipice and was killed.
"Another chief who got one on
properly went padding around
in the dark, and the people ms
agining he was a ghost, sacrlhced
four babies to keep off the evil
, spirit.
} and then you know those
trousers you sent out? Wen,
they fitted one pair Oh all IDOL
and then they Stuffed most OF the
rest with leaves and set them uE

Tyranny Denounced.

Editor Times: Referring to the article
In this mornings edition of The Times re-
garding the dismissal of Conductors Haner
and Green of the lexington and Soldiers
Home railroad for joining the Protective
Railway Union, allow me to state that the
petty acts of tyranny mentioned are but a
few of the many indignities of like char
acter of thich the employees of this road COM
plain of being subjected to by its manage
ment, and which have been known and
strongly condemned by the patrons of the
road for long time. II they will unite
and make public their grievances they will
find the patrons of the lexington line as
ready and willing to extend to them the
same hearty assista nee and support that
was extended by the people of Anacostia
to the employees OF that road. They have
the righting of their wrongs in their own
hands.
What has become of the decision in the
recent habeas corpus proceedings brought
by the attorney for the lexington road
to have its late mana ger discharged from
the workhouse, to which he was construct
lively committed by the police court, for
maintaining an obstruction on New York

atist, carpenter, mechanic or whatever he
may be is Fitzgerald Murphy, and he should
be a marked man. 1t all came about by
Murphy reading a book on the silver ques-
ton when nobody was looking.
He succumbed at once, secured a ton of
paper, pencils aud seclusion, and forth
with proceeded to frame the old familiar
sentences into dramatic form. Then he
got a manager, aud this man, Thomas G..
Miner, son OF Congressman Harry Miner, OF
New York, deserves no mercy. No time
was lost, Stewart himself having ftopped
talking silver and coon a company of alleged
actors was rehearsing this moustrosity,
surnamed The Silver Lining"
The plot? 1t is founded on wind; Coin
Harveyis the hero. His beautiful daug hter =
not golden, but presumably Jlverbaired-
falls in love with goldbug and is loved by
a villain, perhaps another goldbug. Har-
rowing! The first act is n reproduction OF
the Horr-Harvey jaw exhibition. Then
follows a congIomeraton of Populist whis-
kers. 1.-THE crime of 49," "16 to 1" and
