"There was woman who loved her

now alone in the wide world, gave way to

wept, wept, wept, three long days, and
three long nights. This the mother did
without ceasing, calling constantly on her
child. raa.l taa ..

We have seen it noticed somewhere,
that talking while milking is not good
that u COW will give less milk, etc
We think we can say we have had OK
percncc in this way. 1t comes under
the head Of quick milking. a fast
mixer is better than slow one Talk
ing is very apt to retard milking; not
only that a skittsh COW will be un-
easy where too much ado is, where
another person is present, especially a
stranger. We think we have seen 2
decrease of milk where talking per-
son was present. We prefer milking
alone, and as fast rs possible. Quiet
ude and contcntment are great qualities
in COW. a wild COW is not generally
n good one. If she is, she will be
much better when tanned and domesti-
Gated.

Tie matter of home indusr ry is Of vital
importance to the people Of the South. We
must do everything in our power 20 foster
and encourage all and everything that IN
the least tends to a concentration of capital
and labor in our midst. and which seeks to
develope tie mechanical and agricultural
resources of our section.


The shade of difference in the prices Of
material produced at home should not be
of such moment as to cause total discon-
tinuanoe of patronage. all of which is in
favor of the foreign producer; but fair al
lowance should be made, and public spirit
enough evinced, as shall place our mechani-
cal abilities upon such footing that they
will be able to compete with outside CAPT
.tal and cheap labor. Itis but "a question of


ae, which liberality and enterprise will
soon accomplish.


To this end encourage your own work
shops-your own foundries-your own
mechanics-your own merchants. Neither
go abroad nor send abroad for what you can
have manufactured OF can purchase at home.
We ought not to purchase articles from out
side sources which can be produced in our
midst, merely because they are trihe
cheaper, but we should encourage our own
producers by patronage. We can neither
be great nor Independent until we are self
sustaining, and we ought to be willing to
pay for these blessings. They will come

with united effort on the part of our peo-
pie, and not Misunderstanding Herald

The following is an -xtract from letter
from New York, published in the Baltimore
Methodist of the 4th ult:


A Southern lady, on a visit to this city.
went to worship in one of the uptown
churches. Soon after an elegantly attired
New York lady, of high social standing,
entered the same pew and remained during
service; after which the Southern lady call
ed her aside into the vestry room, and, in
the presence of the rector, with whom she
was well acquainted, thus addressed her:


''Madam, do not wish to offend you,
but that shawl you are wearing belongs to
me-" (The shawl was superb one.


The New Yorker protested, and declared
that there must be some mistake.


off" says the Southern lady, "you will
examine certain corner, you will see my
initials worked in it, and the rector knows
my name very we'll"


The corner was found as well as the mi
tials. The Southern lady then remarked:


"That ring you have upon your finger is
also mine, and if you will take the trouble
to examine the interior you will see the
same initials engraved in the ring"


Similar movements as above described
took place, and with similar results.


Turning to her again, the Southern lady
said: Madame, that bracelet you have OF
is mine also, and by pressing a spring on
the inside it will unclasp and show you my
portrait


The New York lady did as requested,
and there was the lady's portrait. She
promptly returned the ring and bracelet as
she was convinced beyond the power to
controvert it, that they were the property oI
this Southern lady, and remarked as she
did SO:


They are yours, and you are welcome to
them, but as l wore the shawl to church, ]
must beg the privilege of wearing it home
again


The Southern lady acceded, of course
and they exchanged cards. The shaw
came back in due time, but the New Y orl
lady had probably obtained the articles II

ant to divulge No more was said about it

ply what had just now passc between
him and his comrades.


The young lady listened attentivoly,
and at his ceasing to speak, she said
blushingly, but with great sweetness


eff by so little thing, so much
good can be effected, it would be fool
ish in me to refuse your request; and
publicly,in the open square, she kiss
cd him.


The next day the student was sent
for by, the Governor. He wanted to sec
the man who dared to seek kiss from
his daughter in that way, and whom
she consented to kias.


He received him with a scrLtini-
zing bow, but after an hours conversa-
ton was so pleased with him that he
ordered him iodine at his table dur
ing his studies at Upsula.


Our young friend pursued his stu
dies in such manner that it soon
made him the most promising student
at tho University.


Three years are now passed since
the first kiss, when the young man
was allowed to give second kiss to
the daughter of the Governor as his
wife.


He became, later, one of the most
noted scholars in Sweden, and was
much respected for his character:
His works will endure while time
lasts, among the works Of science and
from this happy tinion sprang fami-

TRUTH.-Truth is like Gods bap-
tism upon the hills. First, it is like
the dew drop, silently descending
through cloud of mist and vapor to
kiss the petals of some dropping flow
er. Then it as a little pool gathering
in some tiny basin in fraternal en-
brace of atoms. Then it is rill, that
goes cutting its channel way through
the green moss and down the sloping
hillside, fastening to the meeting OF
waters below. Then it is stream,
hurrying over precipices and down
cascades rocks, turning the great
wheel of manufacture, grinding the
grain and working the spindles and
shuttles of man. Then it is the river
slowly rolling onward through its
mighty channel, upon VI C b great
lazy barges rock, and the paddles o.
the steamboat beat. And then
then it is the broad sweep of the At
lantic, upon which is borne, from land
to land, the products of the industry
of an entire world. And that's the
way truth comes, and that's the way
truth acts.

John Doherty, alias Captain Thun-
derbOlt, was born in Scotland, some
where about the year l780. In his
youth he was sent to school, and re-
c9ived a very good education. He
had a clear, active intellect, was
quick to perceive and learn, and, with
a proper moral balance and fair oppor-
tunity, would undoubtedly have made
a man of respectable distinction
But he was by nature a rogue-a ras-
cal at heart, if not villain. He had
some redeeming qualities, but not
enough to keep him in the path OF
rectitude. He was worldly, passion
ate and licentious, and could not see
the advantage of being honest for hon
estys sake. if dishonesty would better
serve his immediate purpose. be was
selfish in his own pleasures, and would
stop at nothing to gain his ends and
crafty his dominant whim. He was
naturally a great leveler, and looked
upon the stringent laws of society as
made for the benefit Of the rich rather
than the poor, and thought it the prop
er course of every man of spirit to sci
them at defiance. He had his owl
ideas of honor, was averSe to cruelty
and bloodshed, and possessed certain
chivalric notions of propriety.-
Through his long career of vice anc
crime, it was his boast that he haC
never Intentionally robbed poo
man or female. He was bold ant
fearless, and would risk everything t.
carry out some romantic idea, or oh
tain what he was wont to term poeti;
justice.


A case in point. A certain judg
once boasted that he would yet hav
the pleasure of giving Captain Thur
derbolt his death-sentence. A fey

called on him, at his private residence
and requested to see him alone a fe'

Editors like other shrewd men,
must live with their eyes and ears
open. The following is told of one
who started paper in western
town. The town was infested by
gamblers, whose pres sence was a
source of annoyance to the citizens,
who told the editor that if he did not
come out against them they would
not patronize his paper. He replied
that he would give them "smasher"
next day. Sure enough, his next is

the redoubtable editor, with scissors

when in walked large man, with a
horsewhip in hand, who demanded to
know if the editor was in. "No sir, y
was the reply, she has stepped out.
Take seat and read the papers-he
will return in a minute" Down sat
the indignant man of cards, crossed
his legs with his whip between them
and commenced reading the paper
In the meantime the editor quietly
slid down stairs, and at the landing
he met another man with cudgel in
his hand, who asked if the editor was
in. "Yes sir" was the quick re-
sponse; "you will find him up stairs
reading a newspaper" The latter
on entering the room with a furious
oath, commenced viotent assault up
on the former, which was resisted
with equal ferocity. The fight wa
continued till they both rolled to thu
