In a wagon made of willow Wheeled I once a little maiden. Ringlets shining on the pillow, Rolling hor.eward treasure-laden, Like a boat upon the billow. Ten years fled. Ah, how I missed her When we left the village school! But she said shed be my sister As we lingered by the pool, And I passionately kissed her. Teii imord fleeting years renew it. Little wagons wade of willow; Loving eyes are bent to view it: Loving hands adjust the pillow, And we've fitted rockers to it. V5sjullatt ton. NEWBERRY'S INDUSTRIAL LIFE. From the News and Courier.

This im provement, however, is not percep tible in the corporations. 4. The supply of colored labor as compared with the demand, and with the supply and demand last year and five years ago?

T trolled or directed by whites, and si worked by white and colored labor, h is fourteen-twentieths of all the C farms in the county. t The number of farms owned con- n trolled and worked by whites exclu- c sively, is one-twentieth of farms in i the county. C The farms worked exclusively c by colored labor, under the control and direction of whites, succeed I moderately well only, because, in ii the absence of white managers, the o negroes fail, either from ignorance e or wilfully, to carry ont their in- f1 structions. t4 The farms worked by white and o colored succeed better than those t; worked exclusively by colored labor, a becaU3e the whites are more inclin- p ed to carry out the directions of the ti manager, and, from their superior b education and general good sense, they have a better knowledge of how the farm work should be done in the absence of the manager, to gether with their willingness to do better and more work than the ordi nary colored laborer. r Farms worked by whites exclusive ly? One-twenty of all farms; suc ceed better, and make more money than other farms of any description.

Their condition is good, and in most cases they own shall tracts of land. ~ 18. Operation of the Stock law? I The Stock law is operating well in this country. Its effect in reducing expenses is felt by all, and it isa a great saving of both money and I labor, whilst its effect in improving stock has also been great. One of, the hast farmera in this out3t, i xpressing his opinion of this law, ays: "It is the best law ever giv n us since Moses handed down the .en Commandments." 19. The Lien law and ts effect n the white and colored people, armers and merchants? The effect n the white man is generally good ut in some instances tends to iake him indolent. The effect on bc colored man is that it makes im more indolent than ever and eally does him harm. The effect on the merchant, if he prudent and careful, is good, but rith the majority it is bad, must of .em losing money by it. 20. The Prohibition law-its work. ig, good )r bad effect, and its gen. ral observance and enforcement ? 'be Prohibition law, outside of in rporated towns, is fully ob arved. The' Town of Prosperity, autheast of Newberry, has also dopted the Prohibition law, and ie consequent effect upon that >w.is very good, its morals being nproved a hundred per cent.

'he maximum outturn is; For team gin, 10 bales per day; for orse gins, 3 bales per day to gin. otton is hauled, on an average, wo miles to gin. Charge for gin. ing, 5 per cent. There are two leaners used, but their good effect not sufficient to encourage their ontinued use, though they do in rease the "life" of the gin. 23. Remarks, suggestions, &c.: n agriculture the greatest need felt ; a source from which farmers can btain money at a reasonable inter. st for a number of years-say, rom three to five-enabling them 3 make permanent improvements n their farms. Socially, the coun V'needs larger- and- more general ppropriations for educational pur ose; with these two wants supplied, lie progress of the county would e more rapid and more permanent. PROPOSED IN A STREET * CAR. From the Philadelphia Record. The bleak and uninviting inte. ior of a street car, with the ther. iometer twenty degrees below reezing point, was the scene of a roposal of marraige. The hour ras half-past nine; the car one of ie amber hued chariots of the Thir eenth and Fifteenth streets line, hiladelphia, and the interested arties a pretty girl of about 19 ummers, with dark eyes and rosy heeks, and a young man of two or bree and twenty. "Are you cold, Amelia?" came in entle tones across the car. "Yes, Charley,' was the half. rhispered reply. And Charley nuggled up close and took Ame. a's hand in his. He then glanced at her in a loving ray, looked across at the reporter, rho was apparently asleep, noticed bat the conductor was entirely oc upied in keeping Jhis feet warm, nd, after giving one or two coughs, aid, with a smile : "Do you recollect what I told you Le first time I met you, Amelia?'' "No, Charley. What?" "Why, that I had never been in >ve, and that it would be a cold .ay when I'd ask a girl to marry "Oh, yes, but why do you ask?" "Well, this is a very cold day, Lmelia, isn't it?" "Yes, Charley: but why?" and he blushed as she glanced up at im, and as his face drew nearer er. "Well, will you?'' There was a silence for a moment it for the jingle jingle of the bells nd the shuffling of the conductor's eet upon the icy platform. Then he slipped her hand into his, blush. d even rosier than before, and rhispered, "Yes." "Bless you, my children," ex* laimed the delighted reporter; and s the lovers half sta.rted up abashed t the unexpected discovery of their ecret the scribe shot out of the loorway and hurried away. It takes about six mnonths tc rain a canary so that it will fly tround a church and alight on the ride's shoulder at the right mo nent. Its everything in giving a ride the right send-off. Chinese proverb: Only correci rorself on the same principle thai ro correct others; and excuse oth. is on the same principle on whici ro excuse yourself. Sir Charles Wheatstone hs ,hown that a flash of lightning lasti ess than a millionth part of a se FROM THE DEPTHS. BY W. B. FOX. A thorough, moral and religious training in youth, is the true foun dation stone of every human life. It matters not how humble that; life may be, or in what land it has its existence, if the pure and holy influence of the religion of Christ comes into it, ameliorating and lif ting it up from the debased plane of existence to which the animal proclivities tend, it will be a shin ing light to guide the weary faint ing souls around it, and as a rock planted in the midst of the sea. Upon such a foundation you may build and the structure will stand firm and invincible, no matter how fiercely the waves of worldy strife and adversity dash around it. And yet, when we look round as we are pained to note how few young per sons there are who are building upon this foundation. How many are turning awry from the path of virtue and true man and womanhood, to barter the wealth of their souls away for. the paltry enjoyment which the world and its evanescent pleasure afford them. How many to stifle the voice of conscience and satiate depraved appetites and passions, and seeking the compan ionship of those whose corrupt na tures and influence can not fail to contaminate and blight all the pure and noble aspirations of their lives, and pave the pathway -to eternal dissolution. And how many par ents, by encouraging and allowing such associations; are opening the flood-gates of ruin upon their chil dren. Mammon is steadily strength ening his outposts and the damning degradations are sweeping wider and wider over our land. Parents are asking themselves-perhaps in vain-how they may shield the the sacred precincts of their family circles from the sacrilegious pres ence and ruining influence of that dead enemy to society-The Human Wolf. The man who has no other vocation in life than to prey upon and defame his own species, who uses the, talent and ability which God has given him, to seduce and entrap the unwary, leaving them scorned and loathed and cast as wrecks on life's tempest tossed ocean; and who, if need be, will not hesitate to drape about him the holy mantle of Christ, to accomplish his fiendish aims, and think it is no sacrilege. Take up any current newspaper of the day, that you will, and its bolumns teem with details of the inroads and encoachments that last and crime are making upon society every day. Each hour, almost, is rife with the fall of some high offi cial in the affairs of the state or clergy, and the lost and ruined is borne upon every wind.. 0, thoughtless man! Do these waiting cries of heart-broken an gnish find no echo in your heart? Will you, still unmindful of them, continue in the banquet hall of Pleasure, offering your own, and the souls of those poor young beings, whom you have dragged from the path of virtue, a willing sacrifice at the reeking shrine of debauchery and ruin? Beware ! you are tread ing the path that many have trod, but all have fallen. Think not the cleansing sword of justice will be stayed, or, that He who marks the sparrow's fall will suffer the blood of those poor young souls, made in His own likeness and image, to cry out in vain. A COLORED PREAChER DE FENDS WiFE-BEATING. "Dere is anudder matter we is noted for, beating our wives. Now dar de scriptur cams in again. De good book says: 'Husbands, keep your wives in submission.' And how is gwine to do dat thing? Why, beat 'em, to be sure, 'case dey needs it.
