I will pay te freight and send to any reliable party.an assortment of my Garden and Field Seeds, and give 30 per cent. commission for selling, and take back any part that may not be.sold at the end of the season. Five cents per packet is too little, but as large Northern houses put them down from ideas of monopoly, doubt, I shall freely sell accordingly, and take my chances... I have, however, two grand advantages: First, I sell to a population having decided preferences for Southern enterprise and Southern men; and secondly, there is not a dear old woman in the Sonth that does not know that Bun2combe Cabbage Seed are the best in the world.

SHOP NEXT DOOR NORTH of POST OFFICE. A clean shave, a neat cut, and polite at ntenif garanteed. May 81 UPON THE NASHUA. BY EVA L. EMERY. Last night, while sailing on the sea, The tender moon looked down on me, And seemed to write upon the tide This legend strange, in letters wide: "Tbo' storms be rude, fear not, fear not, For God bath never yet forgot." A storm came down, and reckless bore Our groaning bark from shore to shore. Ere long, upon the inky main, That same sweet legend shone again; "Tho' storms be rude, fear not, fear not, For God hath never yet forgot." So tho' my soul be troubled now, Aud tempest bid my courage bow. Still will I chant the sky-born hymn I read upon the waters dim: "Tho' storms be rude, fear not, fear not, For God hath never yet forgot." BRAVE DICK. -0 BY REBECCA HARDING DAVIS. -0 One or two young men came out of the Academy of Music when the opera was over, and lingered in the lobby to watelr the pass ing of the crowd. Young Fred Saulter came up to them while putting his pearl lorgnette in its case. "Nice house, eh ?" he said, lan guidly. "Well dressed. See Fanny Swan. Wretched taste for young girls to wear diamonds ! What d'ye think of the new tenor, eh ? Miserable, I say." The older man answered him civily and walked on, leaving him with some lads of his-own age. "What would Miss Swan say if she heard that cub- criticizing her ?" said Dr. Pomeroy. "The most insufferable creature in the worid to me is a con-ceited boy, assuming the tone of-a man of po sition, when he has not yet proved his right to be alive." "I thought young Saulter had money," said one of the party. "ife drives a fine horse, wears clothes made by a better tailor thani I can afford, and lunches at the best restaurant." "Money 1" said the doctor, an grily. "Whby, his fathber is -bead book keeper for Smiles & Son, w ith ~aamily of six. lie strained every nerve to educate this boy, who now looks upon every practicable way of earning his living as plebeian. L'll warrant you the fello A' never had twenty cents in his pockets of his own earning. His restau rant and livery stable bills come in to his poor old 'father' at the end of every month." Meanwhbile, young Saulter stood complacently twirling his opera at and watching the pretty girls as they passed. He caught a glimpse of bis dapp.er little figure in a great mirror-the waxed mus tache, lavender gloves, wired roses in his button-hole-and looked pityingly after the doctor and his friends. "How those old fellows must envy us!1" he said. "Wine, with life in its sparkle, and dregs, eh ? Oh, by the way. I saw a curious fJing to..day I Dick Knight-you remem ber Knight'in our class, w ho took the scientific course to fit him for a civil engineer ? W'ell, it appears -that, times being so hard, he could get no proper work to do; so he has taken to improper. Instead of .laying by as I have done, waiting quietly for an opening for an educated man to step into, he actually is Pm ashamed to tell it !" "What ? What is he ?" asked bis listener. "Driving an engine on the Cen tral road! Fact! I saw him, all grimy witb smoke in his little caboose to day. 'Good heavens!' I said, 'Knight, are you mad ?' " .Not 8o mad as to starve,' he said, laughing. "I asked him why his father did not support him, and keep him from such degradation. Then he was mad. "'Do you think I, with my big strong body, will be a burden on an old man ?' he said ; and began to talk nonsense about laziness degrading man and that no man a ever daa-aded by honest work, with more of the same sort of bosh, all very ridiculous and very dis graceful. You'll see him to-night, if you take the 11 r. m. train." "Tut, tut!" the lads said ; and "Poor Knight! be was a good fel low," precisely as if he were dead. Indeed, from the light and bril liancy of the scene above them the music, the beautiful low-voiced women, themselves daintily at tired, that gay and happy part of the world-there was a gulf like death to the grimy engine-driver in the dark depot, a gulf which none but a madman, they thought, would willingly cross. They sauntered out of the opera house, and, a few minutes before eleven, reached the depot, in time for the train that ran out to the suburban town where they lived. "There he is," whispered Saulter. "He takes our train out ; but the Iengine is,ffot yet put toit." The engine was on a siding, puffing and spitting little jets of steam, and Dick Knight, a tall, manly young fellow, was coming at that moment down from the superintindent's room. He caught sight of his old classmates, laugh ed, hesitated, and raised his hand to his hat. "Going to speak to him, hey ?" said little Billie McGee, anxious ly. The young men grew red and embarrassed. Some of them nod ded to Knight awkwardly, and seemed inclined to go and meet him. "I say no," said Saulter, peremp torily. "If be chooses to leave the com panionship of gentlemen I shall not follow him, I talk to me chanics and that sort of people who never had a chance to be any thing better; but Knight is a so cial suicide. sir." "That's true," said McGee. "How well Saulter puts things !" he added aside, "'Social suicide !' Well, I shall not bring him to life." Knight saw that the young men wished to avoid him, and turned aside with a bow and heightened color, while they hurried into the train. It was yet five mi[nutes until the time of sta:-ting. The train of passenger cars was on the main track (the engine still being detached), and the people were hurrying in, most of them coming direct from the theaters and other places of amusement. Inside of the cars and in the depot there was a good deal of jesting and gaf'ety between acquaintances meeting- on their way home, the train being a local one, and run ning only through suburban vil lages. Just then, a short distance up the track, there was a hiss and a 'ry, and a voice shrieked out in horror : "A runaway train on the main track ! A runaway train on the main track ! Passengers in the depot! Out of the cars !-out of the cars !" A runaway freight train was on the track. The fireman had start ed it for the purpose of taking it into the freight depot. By some accident, before it had left the main track, the man had stum bled as he was at his work, and had fallen nearly upon the ground. Laf-stunned, he had jumped up : but could not cath the moving en gine, which was gaining speed every second, and had, shrieked out his warning. It so happened that the switch tender, through fright, or from some unexplained cause, did not move his switch in season to runl the train off the main track ; and now the huge machine, with its train behind, was rushing toward the train in the depot with a speed that promised fatal disaster. The few officials who were near had time but-to gasp with horror. At the moment when the cry of danger 'ias shrieked out upon the night air, Dick Knight was at taching his engine to the passen ger train. From the cars and plat frm rose a yell of frantic terror, in which Saulter's voice~ was high est. Death seemed rushing upon the p)eople, who had not time to get out of the cars before the driv ing train would be upon tuem. The officials in the depot watch nr1 Knight wiLh blanched faces. "He'll be erushed to atoms ! muttered one stout old man, stand. ing by Dr. Pomeroy. But Dick had put steam upon his engine. Apparently he did not think of leaving his post. There he stood, with his hand on the lever, calm and determined. His huge machine sprang for ward. It met the coming locomo tive with a crash that threw both monsters upward, as if they had risen to wrestle and throw each other. Then Dick's engine was thrown on one side; but the force of the runaway traia was over come, and the machinery of the engine so injured that all move ment was stopped. Dick was hurled senseless several feet from the place of the collision. The stout old man and Dr. Pom eroy, with all the other men in the depot, ran to Knight, picked him up and carried him into the waiting room, where he was left with the plysicians. "Well, well I" said the old gen tleman, impatiently, as Dr. Pome roy came out, "how ie it? Will he live?" "I think so. God forbid that I.should have to take him home dead to his old father!" "You know him, then? Who is he? Why, do you know what I owe him ?" and his voice broke. "My little girl is aboard that train." Dr. Pomeroy told Knight's sto ry briefly, informing tLe old gen tleman that he was thoroughly educated, but that he looked upon any work as better than depen dent idleness. "He's the true grit, sir," was the animated reply. "There's no work so humble that a man can not show the best qualities of manhood in it, as we have seen to-night. It is not the daring courage I approved in him so much as the presence of iind, the keen eye, to see what to do and how to do it. Request Mr. Knight, if you please, to call oms me at ten to-morrow," he said to the station -master. "Who is that?" asked Fred Saulter breatbiessly of the official. "The president of the road. Dick Knight, if he lives, has an open road to foi-tune now, and he deserves it." Fred Saulter crept into the car to go home. His lavender gloves were soiled, and the wii-ed rose in his button-hole was falling to pieces .with a sickly, decayed smell. .Life itself:wals sickly and decayed, he thought with a yawn ; and he thre w the wilted" rose out of the window. Yes, and to all conceged, effeminate natures like his, it is likely . to prove as Saul. ter's inmaglhation pictured it that night. LITLE JOHNNY'S ST.oRY OF OLD GAFFE-And now fov a story about ole Gaffer Peters. One day Jack Bri.ly, which is the wicked sailor, swears and ev erything, that he was goin by ole Gaffer's house, and the foun him digging a well, and a boy was pul lin up the rocks in a bucket with a winlass. So Jack he give the boy 2 bits, and sed: "You go and git sum candy, and IT pull up for you when I get back," and the boy done it. Then Jack he put his bull dog in the bucket and let him down, and the dog it jum.pped out in the weli with Gaffer, which hollered wild, and the dog too. Then Jack he got ole Gafferses' cat. and pitched that down too, and the dog tackled the cat between Gafferses' legs, and the cat run it up Gaffer like he was a tree, and all ycllin' like in gens. There wasent never such a After a while Jack he let the bucket down and hauled old Gaf fer up with the winlass, looking mighty beat, and his elothes tore bad. Fore Gaffer cud get his breth, Jack sed : "Tell you wot, Gaffer, if I hadent come along yude had a pretty rough time of it, cos that boy's gone for another cat." Then Gaffer be helped Jack git the dog out, which had killed the cat, and Jack and the dog they went away, and when the boy come in site, Gaffer he met him morn lhalef way, and licked him P he wa sick abed. A WORD ABOUT NEWSPA PERS. Respectfully Dedicated to Those who Never Pay the Printer. The Gainesville Eagle is the last to let fly a few sharp pointed and well-timed arrows at bores and dead beats who are always to be found wherever a newspaper is published. The following is to the point, and we move its unanimous adoption by the press of the coun try: Theie is not perhaps in the whole range of business profes sions or callings, one that is so little understood, and about which there are as many erroneous ideas as that of the conduct, privileges, purpo;es and rights of a newspa per. Frorm it people expect more, and propose to pay less than they would dare to ask from any other business in ihe world. A great many very good people seem to forget that newspapers are business efiterprises. They ignore the factr that a newspaper man is flesh and blood, and that he must eat, drink,- wear, live, move and have being as any other human biped. They seem to for get that he has like passions, like necessities, like cares, troubles and anxieties with other men. Hence, when he differe with them, when he expresses an opinion in opposi tion to their own, with warmth and vigor, they are ready to.de nounce him, and seem as much as tonished as if an angel bad flown down from the outposts of heaven and pelted them with a brickbat. He is expected to be above and beyond the- small wea: nesses of humanity, and soar around in the elysian fields of grandiloquent genius, or leisurely browse in the vernal past6res of pure wisdom, and see everything as every body else sees it, and reconcile the vast differences'of opinion of imperious thousands. But it is not in 'this alone that the wbrld mistakes us. Very-ma nly, very good people, good honest souls, who would never think of asking their grocer to give them a dime's worth -of cheese; will ask a newspaper man to sacrifice his space, pay his printers to set up the type, and wear out his materi al to do thenm a service, and ex poect him to acquiesce as a matter of course. It is astonishing how many people have axes to grind which from their standpoint are "matters of public' interest," anc' woe to the poor editor who can not see it in that light. There' are two or tbree things which many good bhonest people need to be educated to understand. One is tfbat editors are human. They arc liable to be mistaken, and are entitled to the same char ity as other people who may do likewise. Second, that they can not live on' wind and sleep on fences, and must be paid for their stock in trade, the same as a mer chant or any other business man. Think, that a newspaper does not belong to the world at large, but to its owners and conductors, and t;at it cannot be made a sluicebox through which to flow all the sur plus bile of a commrrunity or the trashy off slough ing of the brain of every nincumpoop who itches to see his n'aine in pi-int. HIsToRiuAL.-"Now, ladies and gentlemen," shouted the book agent,"before the picnic concludes I want to sell 'every onie of you a copy of' the 'Life of Pocabontas.' She was an Injun girl, Poky was -they called her Poky for short -but she wasn't the kind that went around peddling baskets and blow-guns. Not frequently. She staid at home playing croquet in the front yard, or went to the Ladies' Aid Society, didn't take no copperas off o' nobody. The celebrated Jobn Smith came trav eling through them parts as agert for- a family paper, but Poky wouldn't let her father raise a club. She married Smith after ward, and the last act'of her life was to die of consumption." Just ere Officer Uncle Sammy Jones approached with a shot gun and th meeting adjourned. A MINISTER'S WIFE.-S e sus tains peculiar relations to the commu nity. She is human just as other women are, yet everybody expects her to have qualities that raise her above the common weaknesses of life. Says an exchange: "Everybody expects the minister's wife to be a model, and quite removed from all the frailties and illnesses of mankind. She should be warranted never to have the headache or neural gia; she should have nerves of iron and sinews of wire. She should be cheerful, intellectual, pious and domes ticated ; she should be able to keep her husband's house, cook his dinner, light his: fires, and copy his sermons. She should keep up the style of a lady on the wages of a,day laborer, and al. ways be at liberty for good works, and ready to rbe'eie morning calls; should be-Secretatto the Band - of Hope, the Dorcas -Society and the Home. Missious. She should conduct the Bible class and mothers' meetings should make clothing for the poor and gtuel for the sick ; finally, 'duld be pb3ased with evierybbdy and-eery thing, and never :desire any reward beyond the satisfaction of having done her duty, and other people's, too." A GooD WoMAN.;--A good woman cever grows old. Years. may go. over her head, butf -benevolence .an.i vir tue dwell~in her heart she is as cheer ful as when 'the spring of ife first opened toher view. W'hen -we look upon a good woman, we; never think of her age. Sbe lpoks as charming as when the rose of youth...first bloomed upon her cheek. That, rose has not faded yet'; it neVer will' fade.' In her neighborhbod she is the - friend and benefactor, in the bureh the devout worshiper and exemplary Christian. Who does not love and respect the woman who has passed her days in acts of kindness and mercy-who has been the friend of man and God whose whole life has been a scene of kindness and love, a devotion of love and religion? We repeat, such a wo man cannot grow old. She will always be fresh and buoyant in spirits, and active in: humble deeds of mercy and benevolence. ,if a young lady desires to retain the. bloom and beauty, of youth, let her not yield to the sway of fashion and folly; leil er IdvU' truth iand virtue and to the close of life she will retain those feelings which now make life appear, a gardea of sweets ever fresh and new. VierY Rrc.-He lhad been sitting still:so long that the mother expected to find him asleep when she looked around and asked : "Well, Barry, what are you think ing of ?" "iMa, are we very rich ?" he solemne ly inquired, by way of reply. ''In one way, we, are,'' she said, "your father says he values me at thres million dollars, you at two milz lion, and the baby at one." That. closed, the conversation on that subject, .hut next moining, as Harry was getting. on his greca, be examined the new patch which had been added, and coolly observed : "Well, I think father had better sell off about half of you- or The: whole of. the baby and get the rest of us some decent duds to put on." Never judge a gil Hn the paridr, but try to catch her in the kitchen. And- if thber you chance to see, . Nothing where it ought to be, Uinwashed.dishes standing round, While things needed can't be found, Kitchen furniture all dusty, Greasy sink, and stove lids rusty, -Specked mirror, spotted floor, Finger marks upon the door, Collaries, untidv gown, One sleeve-up and one sleeve down, Nails black and sour face,. As though cooking could disgrace, Seeing these in whole or part, *You'd better get your hat and start. EARLY RISING AND BEAUTY.-The early morning hours have a potenf, effect on the complexion, and it is bet; ter -to see the suti rise, and sleep in the middle of the day if dne must to secure the necessary sleep. The pure morning air has. a tonic effect on the nerves and the circulation of the blood. Of course, the out-dooir air is what is needed. If' too cold, plant yourself at the sunniest window. American women. need more work in the open air, if it is only that afforded by bal conies. Hawk-Eye : All of one long, hap py hour mamma had been reading to the little .ones, Sunday afternoon, and talking to them about heaven and the agels, and showing them pictures of angels, with their snowy wings. Sud denly Jack shouted, Mother ! When I'm an angel I want to be Shanghai-" Shocked silence on the part ofthe fam ily circle, followed by.the explanatory clause by Jack, "Peathers on my legs. you know !'' Mother dismissed the little congregation without the usual bennediction. BEGINNING THE DAY ARIGHT.-It is very desirable that every day be begun right rather than wrong. Be gun. right and, it is pretty sure to end right. We know the father of a large family who always comes to the break fast table with a smile, and who wakes up good nature in every child before the meal is over, which lasts enrally all day.
