The farmer came ia from the field ouc day : His languid step and hie weary way, ItiH headed brow, his sinewy hand, All showed liis work for the good of llio land ; For ho sows, And he lioca, And ho mows, All for the good of the land..'.'. By the kitchen fire stood his patient wife, Light of his home and joy of his life, With face all aglow and busy hand, Preparing the meal for her husband's band ; V For she mast boil, - ' n... And she must broil, And she must (oil, All for the good of the home. ? The bright sun shines when the farmer goos out, The birds sing sweet songs, lambs frisk about; The brook babbles softly iu the glen, While he works so bravely for the good of men; For he sows, And lie mows, And he hoes, All for the good of the land. II uW UriSKiy ll.e WilC uuuki. i. HI...., Tlic dishes to wash, the Uiitk to skim ; Ths fire goes out, tlics buzz about? For the dear ones at home her heart is kept stout; There are pies to make, 'l'herc is bread to bake, And si cps to tnkc, All Tor the sukc of home. When the day is o'er, and the evening is come, The creatures arc fed, the milking done, lie takes his rest 'ncalh the old shade tree, From the labor of the land his thoughts are free; Though he sows, And lie hoes, And he mows, He rests troin the work of the land. Hut the faithful wife, from sun to sun, Takes her burden up that's never done ; Thorc is no rest, there is no play ; For tlie good of the house she must work away; For to mend the frock, And to knit the sock, And the cradle to rock, All for the good of the home. When autumn is here, with its chilling blast, The farmer gathers his crop at last; His barn's are"ful1, Mil fields are baret*^-* * For the good of tlie land lie ne'er hath care, While it blows, And it snows, Till winter goes, lie rests from the work of the land. Rut the willing wife, till life's closing day, Is the children's guide, till husband's stay ; From day to day she lias dene her best, Until death alone can givo her rest; For after the test Uonics the rest, With the blest, In the farmer's heavenly home. ! [ Christian Union. THE HABIT OF BEADING. - "I have no time to read," is the common complaint, and especially of women, whose occupations arc such as to prcvctft continuous book perusal. Jfhey cannot devote as mnclT Looks as they are compelled to jicvotc to their avocations, that they cannot read anything. Hut this is a great mistake. It isn't the books we finish sit a sitting, which always do us tho most good. Those we devour iu odd moments, half a dozen pages at a time, ofteu give us more satisfaction and are more thoroug hly digested than those wo make a particular effort to read. The men who have made tlmir ninrlr in (ho wnrld linvo trpnorollv been the men who have in boyhood formed the habit of reading at every available moment, whether for five minutes or five hour*. It is the habit cf rending, ratUnr than the lime at our command, that helps us.on the road to learning. Many of the most cultivated persons, whose names havo been famous as students, have givcu only two or three hours to their books. If wo make use of spare minutes in the midst of our work, and read a little, if but a pago or a paragraph, we shall find our brains quickened, and our toil lightened by just so much increased satisfaction as the book gives us. Nothing helps along the monotous daily rouuds so uiucli as fresh and striking tnoughto, to be considered while our hands arc busy. A new idea from a new volume is like oil, which reduces tho friction of the machinery of life. What we remember of brief glimpcs into books, often serves as : stimulant to action, and becomes one of the inost precious deposits in tho treasury of our recollection. All knowledge is made up of small parts, which would seem insigiiiflcant in themselves, but which taken together, are valuable weapons for the mind, undtmbstantiul armor for the soul. The odd minutes which we are inclined to waste, if carefully husbanded for instruction, will, in the long run, make golden hours and golden days, that we shall be ever thankful or.?Delta, Journal ami Farmer. Sumter Not Behind.?One of our subscribers?a practical and energetic planter, as well as a successful horticulturist? alter roading the paragraph copied by us lust week, ur regard to the growing of tea and cork in'Georgia, concluded that ho would let the public kno v that Sumter County is entitled to as much distinction as our Georgia neighbors. He, therefore, on Inst Saturday, brought us somo tea leaves and some pieces of cork, grown on his place a few miles from town. Tho tea was, of course, in its green state, but that it is successfully grown here is the only poiut that wo ire interested in at present; that it can bo perfectly cured in this country has been fully demonstrated. Tho cork tree has been growing on his place for a number of years, and was raised from the seed* several of tbo acorns having been sent to him from Washington. The cork oak is a native of Spain and Portugal. Tito bark, which is thick and spongy, is the part used. The dirst growth, which is coarse and senuicd, is stripped off, ntter which, in iive or six' years, a new and flnc bark is formed, from which tho best stoppers are made.? True Southron v CONFISCATED NORTH CAROLINA RECORD8. The. fatter Boohs of the Executive Office Held in Washington?Correspondence Between Governor Vance and Secretary j Me Crary. The following correspondence has been recently made public. The (.Joveruor of North Caroliua gets away with the representative of "the best government the world ever saw," and shows up that official in his truu colors as making a captious refugaijAt ??r>M3aall61o reiflSbst: ' Executive department, IIai.eiuh, N. 0., September 10,1877. To the Honorable the Secretary of Iftir, Washington^ D. C. : Slit: It is made my duty by a joint resolution of the (jeneiul Assembly of this State, passed at its recent session, a correctcopy of which is inclosed for your information, to apply to you lor either the return of the origiual letter books of the Eexecutivc Department or for permission to take authenticated copies thereof for the use of the archives of the State. Permit me to express the hope that the government of the United States may sec proper to accede to tins reasonable application. The letters oontaincd in these books can ouly be of value to the Federal Government us constituting a part of the history of (he late war, for which purpose copies would answer just as well; whilst to the people of North Carolina they arc not only of more value for the sauie reason but tlicy are ol'teu desired iu aid of justice in our courts and for other urgent causes. Copies even for these purposes have again and agaiu been refused, aud under sucli circumstances as indicated an unmixed intcutiou to disoblige and irritate. Surely the time has passed away wl.cn such motives, if they ever existed, for the withholding of these records should animate the public officials of the country ; Relieving that this bettor era has come, I am encouraged to present to you the action of the General Assembly in this behalf, and to earnestly request a compliance therewith. The expense of transcribing either for your rctcntiou or for transmission to this. Slate, as you shall decide, will be borne by this departuicnt. Of course we would greatly prefer the originals. 1 am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient seryaut, Z. 11. Vance. reply op t1ie secretary of war. waii'd e pa bt m knt, Wasuinoton, 1). C., November G, 1877. Sir: 1 have examined the question of returning the books of the Executive Department of North Carolina ae presented by resolution of the General Assembly of that State, and in reply have respectfully to inform you that I do not feel authorized, even if disposed, to deliver the originals of these paaaiuIq nf t)in s\P i I1 vwiviw v* imv UVIIVU VI xy\Jk v u wuiUlllia. X Hud thorn ia possession of the United States as property captured in war, and T can maliff o disposition of thciu unti]^?uthoiizod by1 an act of Congress/ The Legislature of your State, doubtless anticipating the difficulty, request that iu case originals cannot be recovered, copies of the same may be procured at the expense of the State. I aln disposed to comply with this request as far as I may consistently with the interests of the United States. It is probable that upon examination it may be found that some of these records are of such a character as to be of great importance to the Uuitcd States, as evidence iu resisting claims upon the treasury. In several cases hcratoforo, by resort to similar documents, the government has beou enabled to defeat very targe claims. I must therefore reserve the right to uSO my diicretiou in determining whether any, and if any, what records should be excepted, on the ground that they should not be made public. With this limitation, I aui prepared to say that if the State will defray the cxpeuscs I will order copies to bo made, iinrlor *1! ronl !ah a/ *Iia A I UKX4V1 UMVUVIUU VI IUO zxujuvailli VJCUClttl of the army, for delivery to you.

Sir: I am in receipt of your letter of the Gtli instant, ir reply to mine requesting the return of ibj official letter books of the Executive Department of this State, or permission to mako a copy thereof for de-? posit in the public archives, and transmit-J ting a copy of a resolution of the hegisla-4, tuic of North Carolina in relation thereto.' As little as I expected, 1 must say that T was surprised at your refusal to comply with the very reasonable request of the Legislo* turc. and Still more SO at the reason ron. dered for your action. IIow copies beiug made could render the originals less effective as evidence 'in resisting claims against the treasury' seems to me strange indeed, and how the placing of these copies in tho archives of North Carolina could give the j letters you refer to more publicity than the printing of them in book form by tho government, copies of which I have seen, is, if possible, yet more strange. Hut perhaps the strangest part of it all is that you should suppose?if, indeed, you did so supposo?that I should go to the trouble and expense of procuring mutilated records, to bo placed in the archives of tho State for historical purposes, in obedicuce to an order of the General Assembly. If the books were possessed of money value, or if they were important as trophies captured in war, I could see somo reason for tbc retention of the originals, if not for tho refusal of copies. Hut as they can be viewed in neither light, and as the granting of the Legislature's request could in no way and by no possibility injure the United States, and it is well known tbat those letters which uro.deemed best kept in secret have already been published, whilst mutilated Odpies of others have notoriously, from titnc U> time, been used for partisan purposes, I leave tho propriety of your refusal to be jodged by all impartial men. Very rcsl^llMy, 2T. B. Vance. ^ WpiTK Home.?Thoro can be no excuse for any jroung man who. never writes houic, or whoso letters to the old folks there? whoso drones are cvor ot their son?are few and far bctwocu and not worth much when obtained. It is sad to think> that there arc youcg men who let weeks and months pass away without a letter to their parents, or their brothers and sisters, and who when they do write, only send a line or two, with some lame excuse for not doing more ; a Hue or two saying nothing, just containing some stereotyped statement of vague utterance, which gives no information Why, the value of a letter to a young man to a far off town or village houic, cousists of the- details ; its affectionate gossip ; its account of any circumstance or incident that may have promise in ir of advantage, its story of hopeful struggle, of dawning success, or in references to newly formed friendships ; to books rend, churches and lectures attended with a thousand things besides, which may be small within themselves, but which show an interest in the homo circle, ami manifest the beating of the child's heart within the uinu. Young men arc not aware what paiu they may inflict by appnrcut neglect; how letters brief and infrequent may give rise to fear and donbt, and occasion anxious days and wakeful uights. Now don't neglect home ; don't seem indifferent to your own family, as if all your interests were transferred to strangers. Keep the chain of communication . bright by use, and write freely and fully with unrestrained confidence that it liny be felt that there is neither blight on the affection nor error in the life, which is too oftoi^, tho cause of that lnpso in filial or Tfttoruul correspondence which, though the fSt'ilt also, at timos, of mcrs thoughtleuc. s, Is always uukiud and sometimes cruel. S.vilks.?Did you ever notice an infaut as it lay peacefully sleeping in tho crib? see a smile come over its features like gentle riplcts moved by a lazy wind ? I'octs say it is then "whispering to the nngols far away," but watching the nervous twitching of its mouth, wo arc led to believe that other causes than this produce the litillaticu. There arc smiles of various degrees, kinds and sorts. For instance, the hotel clerks have a smile, blaud aud inviting for the coming guests, cherubic for the paying ones, a heavenly one for the ladies, and ouo us fierce as a buzz saw for the beat. The minister smiles sweetly when ho sees the bnx 'come back laden wiib- contributions, lie ' smiles grimily when he sees it empty. The theatrical inauagcr smiles delightfully wheu his house is full of paying visitors A lady will smile unon her lover even when lie trends upon the trail of bcr dress. The editor smiles when greenbacks pour in, and the politician when he meet* n constituent. Then there is a smile that is the smilingest smile of nil the smiles; that is when the hummer is invited to drink. What a smile. Moonlight on a shovel is no comparison.? It commences at tho corner of his mouth, and ds he grasps the accnuter it spreads, gets wider aud wider, deeper, until the draught jvatlaircd, and^tera the face, and as n glow Mfryof ; the body it increases until even' tne earwags in joy, and tho hair stands on end in excessive delight.
