The Press and Banner has a quantity of second hand job type which a purohaser can get at his own price. The type is good and uselul for advertising or job work. We desire to make room for other type, and the type which is advertised is too good to be sold as old metal. We would sell it for a trifle, or exchange it for anything that we could use. If you are In the market, come and seee It, or write to The Press and Banner, tf. Abbeville, S. C. On the Round*. Hon. W. H.

While the days which are prominent for cheerfulness and good will are upon us, there are many whose lives are overshadowed by clouds of thickest gloom ; aud as our hearts go out to them, we should not hesitate to come down the mouutain side to their humble homes and sip with them, ihat we may bring a ray of sunshine into their own lives. When Jesus longed to fynake the Samaritau woman happy he met her iu her own valley and willingly made her his beuefactress. "Give me to drink" reached the woman's heart, and gave to the world one of the most helpful lessons. Because the great heart of Christ beat in sympathy with humanity, he w&s willing to endure the scoffs and rebukes of scribes aud Pharisees that be might win the publicau, and sinners by associating with them. And in answer to the murmurings of his enemies he carefully laid before them three forcible parables, the last of which not only presented a telling illustration of God's boundless love, but a cutting denunciation of their cold-hearted news toward human beings. I believe Christians have erred iu that they have had the tendency to say harsh things against these who fill the low places because of their sins, jusicau ui ^uiu^aiuuu^ lueiu uiiii^ ncquently to inspire them with motives that might operate to bring them up. If we would seriously study the environments of such persons, and consider the ten thousand stumblinghlocks over which they blindly fall, we should feel prompted to use more persuasion and less condemnation. It is all right for us to condemn the sin, hut let us refrain from pouring out our hurtling wrath upon the sinners. The world is slow to learn the moat important lesson in the unselfish life of Christ. Though he was rich, for our sakes he became poor ; though he was spotless in purity, hia great heart led him to associate with the unrighteous; though he was sinless, his burning love brought him to the cross, where he suffered for the siuful of the worldall to drive out the evil results that came from the lack of love for human souls, which has ever prevented the races from beintr bound in such a way as to cause one individual to be willing to suffer for another. Christ came down that he might lift human souls from the foul heart of sin up to the pure heart of God ; from the throne to the manger; from the manger to the cross; from the cross back to the throne. Let us learn this great lesson and teach it to others. ?

Lucy Cleaver McElroy of L&baflpn, Ky. She was talking to tb^. men. She described the visions of~fche wedding day, with its^lainoir brightness, and then ''AftAfc^tfcaMtday of all comes the hom6ri|fl|^Hfee nest-building, and, oh ! how i^ppswbs the farmer's busy yoong 'tpST XJnlibe her city sister uadflff similar oircumstauce?, she has no constant stream of guests, full of interest and suggestions for the new ssr^undlngsher life is necessarily : one,of much loneliness, even her hus- i band being absent from day to dark.

So she builds i her oastles in the air. God help her i if, ail they often do, the airy, fairy boiling orumbles to dust before her ; very, eyes and sorrow comes to sit i uw their nnas and croon over her < aalshed hopes.

She has 1 obeyed the summons so ofteu that it I has btocune second nature, aud before 1 she rMBzes it she is out of the warm 1 blankets, noiselessly trembling into 1 her clothes, lest she awake the sleep- < ing baby; half clad, her cold fingers still fidgeting witn her brooch, sbe i scampers to the kitchen. Once there a nervous fear that breakfast may be I late seizes her, and she rushes about J uutil it is on the table and the family seated, when she draws her first long breath while the blessing is being ask- ; ed. The breakfast bolted in hot haste and the men oil'to work, she resumes her hurry, skurries through the dishwashing and kitchen work, hastens through bed-making and house cleaning, skims over milk vessels, refrigerators and churning, hurries to the garden for vegetables, rushes through dinner, makes her fingers fiy on the afternoon sewing and scouring, so she may worry through supper at the proper hour, to sink exhausted into a chair at bed time, too weary to speak or think. "She has not only done the thousand aud one duties that fell to her lot that day, but she has done them we.l, has slighted nothing, aud before falling asleep has thought in utter weariness." 'Oh, if tomorrow might never come !' But it does come, and it is always just the same tomorrow, the same unceasing routine of labor and rush. Day after day, year after year, nothing but toil, toil, hurry, worry, rush ; that is the strange thing about it?the eternal rush. Amid the peace aud quiet of the country, why not go on peacefully and quietly doing one's duty as it comes ? There is but one solution to the problem, and that is her work exceeds her time, aud 6he is constantly trying to establish some sort of equilibrium. What does the Uorriin oviutn?w?o i o rl in rohi rn for all her ettbrts? Not happiness ; oue look in the face of the farm womau of the dark side tells 110. Not money; certainly ^ot. Though she is the hardest worker ou the place, this farmer's wife has no bank account of her owii. I will tell you what she gets?her 'vittles and clothes;' that is all, though iu nearly every case her husbaud is well able to grant her reasonable wishes, and the poor creature never has unreasonable ones. "But, thank heaven, all farmers' wives do not live like this ; there is a bright tide to this, as to all pictures. Life on a farm ought to be to a woman the happiest, most care-free of existences. What with poultry and bees, with llowers and vegetables, she gets outdoor exercise sufficient to keep her young a long time, and her labors are all health-giving and pleasant. Labor is a necessity and a part of every useful, happy life. Woman should share man's toil and hardships iu the same proportion in which she shares his ' Depan stimulate trade we wil ir and the other as the s and on the other at for yourselves. Our ? jr their goods from us. 3k trade so far and we )ds at the lowest price trading with us, and \ ' y.V > Kes joy and ease, and she usually does it cheerfully. Ou a farm it has been a woman's share of the duties to do the housework and rear the children ever since Eve gathered fig leaves for clothes and ruised Cain in the Garden of Eden. Certainly work must be done, but let it be done cheerily apd bravely, do not make life a drudgery. "Iu contrast to the farm slave as we havejust seen her, let us have the fiirm iniHtrpftM. the nneen nf t.ha hpant.i fill realm called home, one whom the Maker, God, may look upoo, as He did at the first, and say, 'It Is very good.' Let us learn to have our farmhouses homes, where comfort and good cheer abound, where labor is evenly distributed to all and made a burden to none, where there are bookB aud magazines, where time is had lor reading, music, prayer and all proper effort for higher, better things i>f life, so that we may grow morally and intellectually as well as physically. These things attained, and the much-vexed question of how to keep the boys on the farm will be answered once for all." Another paper was by Mrs. Arthur Grabowskii before the Richmond County Agricultural Society at Augusta, Ga., who said : "The bride, wooed with the ardor of youthful affection, too often becomes the household drudge, the higher servant, bearing most of the burdens rf the domestic economy and sharing scantily in the results of the farm's business. A pathetic little incident illustrating this came lately to my notice through the medium of one of our city papers. The editor, present it a bank on business, saw a farmer coming in, his hands full of the bills paid to him for part of the year's cot ton crop just sold. .tie was accompanied by the patient wife, the result of whose faithful domestic labor was part of the money in . the farmer's aand. Dressed in her best?and yet How shabbily !?with a little one clingng to her, much in need of proper jlothing, the wife wistfully looked at :he money being depoisted, and finally touched the farmer's arm and plead for a small share of that deposit. The farmer's brow clouded at such unlookid-for appeal, but being in good spirits liter the successful sale of his crop, be recognized the occasion as meriting generosity, and, reaching into his pocket for a well-filled purse, he fished out from it the magnificent coin of jne-half dollar, and giving it to his wife, told her go and buy what she wauted. "Ob, yes! The same scornful expression I see on your brows came jver that woman's face, and, if I remember right, the editor said he heard her murmur, 'God pity your small soul.' But is such an incident an isolated one? Is it an exception to the rule, or ia it not a fact that only in degree, but not in substance, tne treatment of the wife by the husband is is often that of the brute the editor wrote about? Not on the farm alone, but in the homes of the city do men forget that the 'obedience' woman promises at the altar must be preceded by the 'honor and love' also promised, and how can love survive when it is met by indifference, aud how houor when meaness stamps the object to be houored? If there ia any pursuit of life where man and woman, become oue by the sacred rite of matrimony, should be co-workers, co-equals, it is on tbe farm. Of necessity the conditions of city life are here concentrated, and the 'multum in parvo' is the device of the farmer's surroundings. How often could the device of city life be 'Parvum in multo,' 'little in much'?little comfort, little satisfaction, though surrounded by the multitudinous appliances of the congregated life of a community; how universal should the farmer's device be, 'Multum in parvo,' 'much in little,' when applied to the resources of the individual life of the farm. It is by justly appreciating, rightly fostering the possibilities of that family life amidst the surroundings of God's nature that the farmer can become thj envied ol ills uruiuer iuwu?uiuu. "By the natural fitness of things the work of the farm has divided itself into the outside larger operations and the work pertaining to the homestead and its immediate surroundings of the dairy, the poultry-yard, the garden, etc. The former have fallen to the share of man, the latter to the share of woman. Is it not often a fact that nearly the whole proceeds of both divisions of the farm go into tbe field operations, attempting to make possible a five-cent cotton crop or an equally unremunerative crop, whilBt the dairy, the poultry-yard, the garden suffer the fate of every quantity that has to yield a periodical percentage of reduction, ana has no equivalent or greater percentage of increase? It is only a question of time when the exhausted dairy, empty poultry-yard and neglected garden will be sad illua trations or larming done wit bout a just proportioning of the farm's resources to the farm's productive industries. Is it the true position of the farmer's wife to be the head of a part of farm work that ia to contribute to the farm's assets, but is to receive no, help, no working capital from Jthe same ? "If there is truth in what I have heard those say, better Informed than I, and which meets me as an old chestnut in the papers of the Bouth, that diversification of orops and the ir ,v ??? ture at . . ' " 1:. 1 "h Pi VP in rmi* e+nro frvt* ? w v *** V 144 fc? UV4 V 4VA i Ten Cents Cpunter. 10 cents. AJNS T Stock of Domestic, Sta Although the weathe: mean that business s] IS. ve will guarantee you ipectfully, ft, ' ' " j'f'vr . vil production of everything the smaller industries are capable of adding is needed for successful Southern farming, then there should be placed for the use of the head of those industries, for the use of the wife, propionate amounts of the proceeds of th.e farm to carry on her work satisfactorily. The same line of argument would point out the good effect a more jost apportionment of the money earned on the farm to the domestic economy would have. Most men provide according to their means pretty fairly when they are to sit down at thetable, and thegastric region is a tender spot with mgQ, but are they as careful that wife and children should share equ&ly in all the providing on table, housing, clothing? And are they willing to turn over to wife and children for the gratification of the ideas of luxury of these a duplicate amount of money spent on tobacco treating and liquor ? I, of course, do not know that any money ever goes out of the men's pockets for liquor, but traversing, as I do, on my alternoon rides many of the roads of Richmond countv. .1 have noticed that it is fortunate that many of the mules of the farmers seem to know the way hope by themselves, as their masters ajfeasleep in the wagon, and I flfrlljPElnk that ail the jugs I se&flPflBVagons are carrying vinegar iGpfplacm. "But is there not yet another line in which the work of the farm, es{>ecially in dharge of woman, needs improvement and in which she does not yet fill her true position ? "Take from life all sunshine, all color, all perfume, all that is esthetic, and life would be its own empty similacrum. Take from the life of the farm all that can elevate it to an esthetic standpoint, and it would be a hard existence under very gloomv realities. Every flower that clings to the porch, every bird that find* a home under the eaves of the house, every tree that is cherished in the yard, every nail that is driven into its proper place that beeps fence and house complete, every bucket of lime or pot of paint that keeps the premises pleasant to the eye, every little curtain, obeap but clean, that hangs behind the well-washed window, every picture, c^romo though it be, that hangs unspecked (by flies, mind you !) from the walls ?every one of a hundred little things that yet together make the domestic life of the farm. Oh, how would our Southern farms improve if the Southern womon would but know that a part of their true position on the farm is to make farm life beautiful! Can the re, then be a question that the true po& tion of woman on the farm is yet among the problems of the future? When the farm progresses to the position of a well-oraered business, having its debit and credit account with each of its fields and industries; when its capital is fairly apportioned to the different branches of work, and its receipts are correspondingly divided ; when the farmer admits the wife as his business partner, entitled to her just share of the profits of the farm, and when he remembers that 'woman won' does not necessarily mean that neglect and indifference are as acceptable (o the wife as ardor and attention were to the sweetneart?when the woman 011 the farm realizes that upon her depend not only the cooking, the care of the children and other domestic duties, but that everything that makes life ou the farm pleasant as far as neatness, taste and embellishment can make it are her especial charge, and that she also must remember in the bard-working, ageing husband, the lover of her youth, then, and only then, will woman's true position on the farm be reached, and the Garden of Eden will find again a place on the earth; a rural life will become the envy of those bred and dwelling in the confinements of city life." "How to Nttnage a Wife." The above was the subject of the following prize essay obtained by the late Dr. 0. F. Deems, of New York : Manage? What is that? Does it mean to control ? We manage a horse. We use our superior human intellect to to control and guide his superior physican strength so as to obtain the best results. But a wife is not a horse. When two persons are well married the wife is as superior to the husband in many respects as he is superior to her in others, if hapyiness is tobe the result of the union, the first business of the husband is to manage himself so as to keep himself always his wife's respectable friend, always her tender lover, always her equal partner, alurnvu her Hiinerior Drotector. This will necessarily stimulate the wife to be hi? admiring friend, always his affectionate sweetheart, always his confiding ward. And this will so react upon the husband that his love for his wife will grow so as to make it easy for him, with all his faults, to bear with all the infirmities of his one and only wife." : It Is very interesting to watch thi fermentation of a great truth when it is once fairly lodged in the mind of an honest man. No matter how hard and cheerlesi your fate may be, there is nothing t< be gained by becoming morose or raelan elioly.
