[From the Pickens Sentinel.] The- Farmer*' RohenHun1den. A PARODY BY "SHANKS." In Central, when the sun is low, The stifling fumes of guano Impels a simultaneous blow From all the peopie's noses. But Central sees another sight, A:car load coles in every night; It makes us dream of "spooks and sprites," We never dream of roses. The merchants' plans are deeply laid, Guano is their stock in trade, Their liens and bills must all be paid By the middle of November. Now to despair we're almost dziven, The price. on guano has risen, But little time to us is given To rsise the legal tender. But harder yet will be the blow, Inflicted still by guano, The country's curse, our common foe, The demon tantalizer. 'Tis fall, and scarce have we begun To pick before we got a dun, Demanding pay for every ton Of bogus fertilizer. The yeoman now becomes a slave, His only refuge is the grave, He.merely keeps alive to save His funeral expenses. The swindler smiles at our defeat, He holds our cotton, corn and wheat, Though unprepared, we now must meet The aifal consequences. THE WAY TO WIN. -0 Edward Stone stood impatiently upon the top step of Uncle Dan's stately residence. There was not the faintest sign of life anywhere around-the whole front part of the house was closed and dark ened ; and having rang seveial times without eliciting any re sponse, he was about to conclude that there was no one within hearing, when a head was thrust out of the upper window. 'Young man, go round to the side door.' Considerably startled by this unexpected address, thie young man obeyed. Upon the porch brushing away the leaves that covered it, was - young girl of fifteen. She looked very pretty as she stood there, the bright au tumnal sudsbine falling on her round whbite arms and uncovered head. Setting down her broom, she ushered him into a medium-sized, plainly-furpished room wbich gave no indication of the reputed wealth of its owner. The young man took a seat, brushed a few fl?cks of dust from the lapel of b-is coat, ran his fin gers through his carefully ar ranged locks, and thus delivered himaalf-: 'T1ell your master tilat his ne phew, E~dward Stone, i,s here. A faint smile touched the rosy lips, and with a demure 'yes, sir,' the girl vanished. A few minutes later an elderly ~gentleman entered, with intelli gent, strongly-marked features, and a shrewd- look in the eyes, which seemed to-take the mental measure of his visitor at a single glance. 'Well, sir, what is your busi ness with me ?' 'I am your nephew.' 'So my daughter told me. What do you want ?' '1 was thinking of goi ng into business, and thought I1 would come and talk it over with you, and ask you to give me a lift.' 'What bett.er capital do you want than you already have ? A strong able-bodied young man wanting a lift ! You ought to be ashamed of yourself! Wbat have you been doing !' Edward's face flushed with an ger at ,tbis unceremonious lan guage ; butfeeling -thai be ould not afford to quarrel with his wealthy relative be gave no other indication of it. 'Saved nothing from your sal ary, I suppose ?' 'No; its only five hundred ; not more than enough for my -ex penses. 'B.umph!1 You are able to dress yourself out of it, 1 perceive. I have known men to rear and ed ..aiL a hua family on five hun. dred a year; and if you have been of unable to save anything, you cer- w tainly are not able to go into st business on your own account. When I was at your age my in- fo come was less than three hundred Pr dollars, and I saved half of it. w What is the business you wish to gr engage in ?' 'Stationery and books. Six hun- tb dred dollars will buy it, .s the of owner is obliged to sell ; a rare se chance. I don't ask you to give th ne the amount, only lend it; I yc will give you my note with in- m, terest.' loi 'Young man, I have several th such papers already. You can have all of them for five dollars; cl< and I warn you that it will. prove 'C a poor investment at that. I can bu give you some advice, though, th which if you follow will be worth to a. good many times over the wi amount you asked. But you th won't do it.' 'How do you know that?' said Edward, with a smile, who began r to feel more at home with his eccentric relative. 'I'd. .like to I'1 hear it, anyway.' fr( 'Well, here it is. Go back to ye your place in the store, save three to dollars a week from your salary, fif which you can easily do; learning in the meantime all you possibly lig can in regard to the business you of wish to pursue. At the end of wi four years you will have the cap- bo ital you seek, together with suffi- ou cient experience and judgment to co know how to use it.* And, better eil still, it will be yours earned by th your own industry and self-denial, it and worth more to you than ten se times that amount got in any ke other way. Then come and see an me again.' Y< 'You'd rather have my money ou than advice, I dare say,' added Mr. Stone, as Edward arose to ti go; 'but we'll be better friends - four years hence than if I let you in; have it. Sit down, nephew, the th train you have to take won't leave Oi until six in the evening. You pe must stay to tea; I want you to. re see what a complete little house- ur keeper I have, and .make you ac- er quainted with her.' .nu 'Polly !'~ he called out, opening nc the door into the hall.. in In. prompt obedience to this ev summons a rosy checked, bright- E( eyed girl tripped in. The neat sit print dress bad been changed for a pretty merino, but our hero did lit not fail to recognize her, and his an face flusbed painfully as he did so. -tb 'Polly !' continued her father, ly 'this is your cousin, Edward. He tb leaves on the six o'clock train, and I want his short stay with us ki as pleasant-as possible.' 'Polly is my little housekeeper,' w he added, ,turning? to.his nephew; fo 'I hire a woman for the work, and she does all the rest. When she's ly eighteen she shall have all the be servants she wants, but she must serve her apprenticeship first.. It may stand her in a good stead ; fi. she may take it into her head to marry a poor man, as 'her mother ne did before ber~. .Eh! my girl ?' er Mary's only reply to this was a hi smile and blush. Our bero was considerably embarrassed by the th recollection of the mistake he had made, but the quietly cordial yt greeting of his young hostess soon y put him comparatively at rest- as At her father's request-who m was very proud of bis daughter's th varied ascomplishrments - Mary w sang and played for her cousin ; and his visit ended in singular contrast to the stormy way it commenced. Edward refused the fivedollar note tendered to him at parting for his traveling expenses. a The old man smiled as he re- m turned the note to his pocket- ti book. 'He's a sensible young chap,after all,' he remarked to his daughter" b as the door closed after his guest. It's in him, if it only can be brought out. We shall see, weu shall see.' u 'A good deal for father t.o say,' SI was Mary's in ward commerit, w ho thought her cousin the most l of agreeable young man she had i ever met. Three years later Mr. Stone and his (daughter paused in front of a small but neat pleasant look- ai inr shnn, on th@ ninta glass door da which were the words: 'Ed srd Stone, Stationery and Book )re.' It being too early in the day r customers, they found the pro ietor alone, whose face flushed ,h pride and pleasure as he eeted them. 'I got your card, nephew,' said e old man, with a cordial grasp t the band, 'and called around to e how you were getting on. I ought it was about time I gave 'u that little lift you asked of 3 three years ago. You don't )k much as if you needed it ough.' Not at present, thank you, un 5,' was the cheerful response. uriously enough it is the same siness that I wanted to buy en. The man who took it had borrow money to purchase it tb, getting so much involved at be had to sell at a sacrifice.' Just what you wanted to do,' Edward smiled at the point ide by hio uncle. 'It isn't what I've done though. ,e saved four dollars a week m my salary for the last three ars; and so was not only able pay the money down but had t ty dollars besides.' r 'Bravo! my boy,' cried the de hted old man,with .another grasp t the hand that made our hero t nee. 'I'm proud of you! You're E und to succeed, I see, and with- a t anybody's help. I told yoar s uin Polly that when she was t bteen I'd buy her a house in t e city ; that she should furnish d to suit herself, and have all the rvants she wanted, and I've a pt my word. Come around d see us whenever you can. c )u'll always find the latch string t. Edward did not fail to accept f e invitation so frankly extended n a very pleasant intimacy grow- a up between the three during d e twelve months that followed. ir ero's business grow and pros red until he began to think of moving to a larger place. His I ce had given him several li-b a.l orders, as well as-sent him a muber of customers, but said ting more about assisting him any other way until Christmast e. Entering the room where e Iward and his daughter were ,ting, be said:t 'I mustn't delay any longer the te lift I promised you, nephew, d which you have well earned.' Edward glanced from the five I ousand dollar chock to the love face at his side, and then to at of the speaker. 'You are very kind, uncle-far oder than I deserve-but-'( 'But whbat, lad ? Speak out ! uld you prefer it in some other Ed ward's fingers closed tender- I and strongly over the hand he t d taken in his. 'Yes, uncle-in this.' The old man looked keenly ] >[f one to the other.t 'You are asking a grood deal, phew. Polly, have you been< couraging this youog man in 1 s presump)tionl?'t 'I'm afraid 1 have, father,' was e smiling response. I 'Then go, my daughter. I givei >u into worthy keeping ; and if I > make your husband's heart happy as your mother did< ine during the few short years I at she tarried by my side, he il ill be blest indeed.' 'In the fourth place,' said the -eacher to his drowsy audience, ose of you who are awake will tice'-etc. There was a ilause, sudden straightening up of al ost everybody in the congrega >n, and a general appearance on tarly every face, as if to say, 'by don't you fellows keep awake ~tter ?' 'Oils and pomade are no longer ed on the hair.' This is a sen ble edict of fashion. Hereafter young man can help a young dy to say nothing in particular iSunday evening without hay g his vest soiled.

Mrs. 5 , on Athens street, is s sweet a little bit of a wee wife s there is in th.is, or any other own, and is as full of fun and rolic as a kitten. Her husband s a good enough man in his way iut be is not funny. He is one of hese sober, solemn aockdologers, shose mouth seems always ready >uckered to say Amen, and be roes slouching through the world ith his hands in his pockets, and fa good square joke was to get nto him, it would blow him up ike a can of nitro glycerine. His >atient, sweet-tempered little wife nanages, however, to work more >r less harmless mischief into him, Lnd he loves her so well, that he ubmits with a sort of dogged race to whatever she does, and nce-or twice, 16 the neighbors ay, he bas managed to break the rain on the leather of his face, Ld smile a sort of consumptive ;rin, and then twitch his ears as bough trying to punish them for iot keeping guard over his risibles. Last Tuesday while he was up own at the sherif's sale trying o buy a three wheeled wagon for ixty cents, his wife concluded he would give him a bit of a baking up when he came home hat night. Sher fixed an old pis ol which she found in the bureau rawer to one of the columns of he back porch, wrapped an old ,rmy overcoat around it and hav ng put a string to the trigger, arried it in at the window and ,waited his coming. After sup er as they were sitting by the re speaking of tramps, and tbe aany robberies and all that sort f thing, Mrs. S stopped sud lenly. 'What is that ?' said she. 'Sh-sh !' said he. 'Did you hear a noise on the ack porch ?' 'Yes, I tbink I did.' 'Do go and see what it is.' Hush ;], will,' and picking up a eavy stick, he crept cautiously o the back door, unfastened it ~nd peered out. There stood a muffled figure on be outeredge of the porch. 'Who's that ?' sharply. No answer. 'Whbo's that, I say ?' more sharp Still no answer. 'Well, if you can't talk, I'll see f I can't make you,' said he Lourishing his stick, and strode ut into his porch. Bang ! 'A men,' said 5-. as he struck e floor, 'Oh, Lord, Millie! Po ice ! Fire ! Murder ! Turn loose he dog. I'm a dead man. Good ye, darling.' 'Oh, mercy upon us !' screamed Irs. S-, 'n hat is the mat er?' 'Oh, my darling, I'm foully mur ered. Kiss me before I go, raise be children the best you can and By this time SIrs. S- could old in no longer. She sat down n a chair, held her sides and aughed till the tears came. 5 ,ought at first that she had gone irazy, but by this time Jones, who ives next door, arrived with a ight,, and Mrs. S- tried to ex lain as best she could betw~ een 1er paroxysms of mirth how it iad all come about. Before she got through, S lad got back into the room and aid himself out in an easy chair. or three solid hours he did not iay a word, an d poor little Mrs. i-, mute as a moase, was wait ng his august pleasure. At last he looked over at her Lnd said: 'I say, Millie, if you can keep ones' folks from saying anything about this thing, you can go up to DuPree's to.morrow and buy the andsomnest black silk in his store. 3me and kiss me anyhow, you nischievous rogue.' He who with health, has a true wife, a dutiful child, and a true 'rind may laugh adversity to s.m.n and defy the world. OUR MADIED SOLDIERS. An Invitation to Send in Their Application for Artificial Limbs---The Law Bearing on the Subject. The Board authorized to contract for artificial limbs for maimed Con federate soldiers, under the Act re cently passed by the Legislature, met last week in Columbia. The follow ing preamble and resolution were adopted: Whereas, By its terms the money to carry into effect the Act to provide artificial. limbs for soldiers of the State, approved December 24, 1879, cannot be paid out from the treasury until all the other appropriations of that session have been met by in coming taxes; yet the Board deem it proper at once to take the preliminary steps necessary to its execution. Resolved, That a circular be issued notifying parties claiming to be enti tled to the benefit of the Act to send their names and postoffico address to the secretary at Columbia on or be fore July 1st, 1880, to the end that estimates may be made by the com mission and suitable blanks sent to applicants. County treasurers will be furnished with copies of the circular, and they ire requested to post the same in each township of the State at the places of collection of taxes during the month of May next. The address is signed by Governor Simpson, chairman, Gen. Hagood, and Dr. Baruch, chairman of the State Board of Health. The following is the full text of the Act under which the Board pro :eed : SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives >f the State of South Carolina, now met and sitting in General Assembly, and by the authority of the same, rhat the Governor, Comptroller Gen eral and the Chairman of the State Board of Health be, and are hereby, %oustituted a Board to contract for and furnish to every citizen of this State who lost a leg or arm in the late war an artificial leg or arm to supply the place of that so lost : Provided, That the applicant shall furnish a ertificate from the Clerk of the Court of his County and the sw6rn state ment of three competent and disia terested persons personally acquainted with the applicant for the two years Last past before his application, show ig that he is a citizen of this State, and in the service of the State of South Carolina, one of the Confed rate States at time of the loss of said imb : And Provided further, T hat he has not received an artificial leg or arm from this or any other State, or from the United States: Provided, further, That he may elect to receive in money the price of said artificial imb. SEC. 2. That the sum of twenty thousand dollars, if so much be ne essay, is hereby appropriated to de fray the charges and expenses attend ing the execution of the provisions of the foregoing Section, said amount to be paid by the Treasurer, as the same may be required, upon the warrant of the Comptroller General, counter signed by the Chairman of the above constituted Board, out of any moneys not otherwise appopriated SEC. 3. That the said Board is al lowed two hundred dollars to defray all necessary expenses of carrying said Act into efiect. SEC. 4. That this Act shall take effect on January 1st, 1.880. How BOB BURDETTE WRITEs Burdette does the most of his writing on cars, and his manuscript is some thing between the Choctaw language and the hieroglyphics on the Egyptian obelisks. He says of it: "When I first got at it the printers would draw cuts for my copy, and those who got a slice of it would go around trying to hire a boy to kick them down stairs and break their necks. However, there was one old fellow who thirstcd after it, and when he got a piece of it he immediately put on a 'sub,' and went on a drunk. Under any other circumstances he would have been discharged. I do better now. 1 had to, because it had almost broken up the printers' temperance union. The patrons of the cause in Burlington traced the thing back to me, and I had to improve my copy. It didn't hurt mue much, but it was a terrible blow to the printers." [ Oi Citu, Derrick-. POLITENESS TO CHILDREN. Scores of times in a day, a child is told, in a short, authoritative way, to do or not to do such little things as we ask at the hands of elder peo ple, as f'avors, graciously, and with -deference to their choice. 'Would you be so kind as to close that window ?' 'May I trouble you for that cricket?' 'If -you may .be as comfortable in this chair as in that, I would like to change places. with you.' 'Oh, excuse rue, but your head is be tween me and the light.; could you see as well if you moved a little ?' 'Would it hinder- you to. long if you stopped at the store for me ? I would be much obliged to you if you would.' 'Pray do not let me crowd you,' etc. In most people's speech, we find as synonyms for these polite phrases: 'Shut that window. down, this min ute.' 'Bring me that cricket.' 'I wan t that chair-get up; you can sit in this.' 'Don't you see that you are right i.n my light.? Move along. 'I want you to leave off playing and go right down to the store for. me.' 'Don't crowd so. Can't you see; that there is not room enough for two people to sit on here ?' and so on. On the other hand, let a child ask for. anything without saying 'please,' receive anything without" saying 'thank ycu,' sit still in the most comfortable seat without of fering to give it up, or press its own preference for a particular book, chair or apple, to the in convenience of an elder, and what an outcry we have: 'Such rude ness!' -Such an ill-maunered child !' 'His parents must have neglected him strangely.' Not at all; they have been telling him a great many times every day not to do these precise things which you dislike. But they themselvees have been all the while doing these very things to him. I31PORTANT TO REAL ES TATE OWNERS. In accordance with the Act de fining his duties, Col. A. P. Butler, the comnmisssoner of agriculture, is making strenuous efforts to secure a complete register of all the lands of fered for sale in the State,. together with information concerning their lo cation, quality, resources and price. It is desired that all persons who have real estate which th~ey are de sirous of selling, will take the earliest opportunity of reporting the same to 'the agricultural department, as num erous inquiries are being daily re ceived from every section of the Union concerning the lands for sale in the State, Th the same particular it would be to the interest of the man ufacturers of the State to 'forward to the commissioner the nature and qualities of the wares manufactured by them, as it is desired that all in formation of' this kind should be em braced in the report. THE COTTON MILL PAMPFLET. Col. Butler assures me that there has been an unusual demand for the article .published in The .Yews and Courier relative to the cotton mills and manufacture of cotton in the State. 'He has distributed them gen erally upon request in every section of the United States and the Canadas, and has a supply prepared for ship ment to England, France and Ger many. It is his purpose shortly to visit every county in the State for the purpose of more thoroughly in forming himself as to the various re sources of the State, and also to organize agricultural clubs, from which he can procure,.statistics of the products of the State. [News and Courier. Speak the truth ; yield not to anger; give when asked, of the little thou hast; by these three steps thou shall go near the gods. A royal order has been issued fixing the legal rate of interest in Cuba at eight per cent. The trustees of Columbia Col lege have decided not to allow the ad mission of young women. The miser is the man who lives like a beggar because he is afraid ot dying like one.
