Dis nigger am a gwine lo vote Do straight-out democrat, Wo, Master, 1 will gib my noto To make you sure on dat I'll toll no lies about it, sir, I say do truth right down, I voto for Radicals las' yoar, But now, I s comin' roun. For when I got back home dat night, I found au empty platter, I fumbled round, and thought I might? l'ahaw ! I couldn't find a 'later ; But hungry nigger don't gib up, 1 tinks jest what I'd do, I takes my plate and ray tin cup, And goes right to Miss Sue. And so, I axod her for somo milk, And little piece of bread, To euro dc cronic rurantix, And mis'ry in iny head, Sl.. tnnk mv nlnte and tin. WW ???? ? 9 And went into do house ; While I sit on de doo' nteppin ; Thinking of cake and souse. Itut when slio 'pcared agin, 0 law! Die nigger could not find Enough of words to tank her, for De victuals suit me prime. Now, dar's none of de's poor-buckra Dat would hah dene dc like : Do's folks dnt's alwars saying how, Do niggers not treat right. M. E. VT. Heidvillc, S. ('., 187H. AN EDITOR S ADVICE. He pointed, bo brief; First, sure of your thought, Then clothe it in words rich with meaning. He legible, clear ; Put your capitals where No mistake can be made from thoir "leaning." Abbreviate words, Proper names aud all dates ? As you value your writings, oh, novcr ! For it only will tend Toward the sorrowful end Of leaving them all out forever. For best use of these hints, Just lay out of sight Your poem, or essay, or letter,? For a few weeks or more,? And you will then have the power To erase what at first seemed the better. RECIPES. Sapce For Hoast Beep. Grate horse-radish on a grater into a basin, add two lablcspooufuls of cream, with a little mustard and nalt, mix well together, add four tablespoonfuls of the best vinegar, aud mix the whole thoroughly. The vinegar and creaui arc both to be cold. Cai.k's Foot .Telly.?Take two calves' feet; add to them one gallon of water ; boil them down to one quart; strain, aud when cold remove all fat; then add the whites of six |or eight eggs (well beaten) half a pound of sugar and the juice of four lemons ; mix well, lioil for a minute, constantly stirring ; them strain through a flannel bag. Cocoanut Pudding.?Soak three tablespooufuls tapioca in cold water over night; boil one quart of milk; add tapioca and boil live minutes; then add yelks of four eggs, three tablespoonfuls desicatcd cocoanut ; boil teu minutes ; turn into a dish to cool, beat the whites and two tablespoonfuls of sugar to a foam; spread on the top and scatter over with cocoanut; sot in the ovon to brown a little. Lemon Pies.?Tho juice and grated rind of one lemon, ono cup of sugar, yolks of two eggs, two tablespoonfuls of flour, milk to fill pic-plate. If milk is not convenint, water with a small lump of butter, is a good substitute. Line a medium-sized plate with nice pastry, pour in the custard; bake until done. Peat the two whites of eggs to a stiff froth, sweeten with four tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, spread smoothly over the pie when baked, and brown lightly in the oven. Frying Haw Potatoes.?We supposed we know how to fry raw potatoes, but found we were mistaken when a lady friend, who came to stop with us a few days, convinced us that she had a better way. And such a little difforenc there was in the cooking of them, too?to make them so much nicer. The secret was in keeping them covered closely as they were cooking. The potatoes were washed pared and sliced thin, put to 'sus' y ?e4._&?d .butiug; salted to taste, too, and to think that Just keeping them covered should make so much difference and improvement?iu the way of cooking them. They would couie <to the tahlo so crispy and crusted, with scarcely a sliee broken ; owing to the care of handling, when being turned over. Greasy Sii.k Ribbon.?Rub magnesia or Freuch chalk ou greasy silk ribbon, hold near fire, and brush off grease. Stains in Lioiit Goods.?Chlroforni is very useful iu removing great stains from light silk and poplin. French chalk is also very good. To Clean Hlack Casiimere?Wash in hot suds with a little borax iu the water rinse iu bueiug water?very blue?and iron while damp. It will look equal to new. To Restore Colors, eto.? Hartshorn will restore the color of woolen garments without injury. Turpentine removes grease or paint from cloth?apply till paint can be scraped off. Tn I'l u a v Itf km.- f.irii.' ?.?<*?

Hiking Farm Lador.?iis tlm is the period of the year at which the farmer makes his yearly coutracts for labor, the follow- , ing, practical suggestion from tho Southern | Cultivator aro valuable and will provo of special interest. Sinco tho panic of 1873, a general shrinkago of values has been going on.? j If under such circumstances all values I shrink proportionally, no ouo out of debt suffers specially. If tho farmer for iustunco ( gets uow only half as much for his cotton , as he did iu 1873, it would make no differ- j cficc to him, provided he could buy what ( lie needed at half tho prico he had to pay | that year- Cau he do this? With some | tilings ho cau, with others ho cannot.? , Tho prices of what aro usually termed the ( it *_>> P l.'P. 1. __ _l .1 ' necessaries ui uiu, sucu as ciounug, (domestic,) provisions, iron, &c., have probably decreased quite as much as that of cottou. Hut the prico of labor?that which tho farmer uses most of all to make cottou?what about that? Ah, thero's tho rub! Labor has not declined iu valuo proportionately to that which labor produces ?nor to thoso things which the laborer must buy, to wit: clothing and food.? Aud this, it scorns to us, is the great underlaying uuivcrsal cause of business stagnation every where. The merchant lacks confidence iu the farmer, becauso he sees he has little or no mouey left after paying the expeuses of the crop. The capitalist hesitates to iuvest iu industiial enterprises, because lie sees that expenses eat up all tho profits and a portion of the capital invested. Those who have already iuvestcd, as manufacturers, railroad managers, miners, ttc., have attempted to relieve themselves by roduciug wages, bul success has been very partial. Laborers liavo resisted it, "strikes" have followed, and a general unsettling of business ensued. Now tho farmer can attempt reduction of wages only through tho contracts he makes at the beginning of the year?his crops once planted, he is at the mercy of tho laborer. It then becomes a question of losing the whole, or paying oue-halt or three-fourths of its valuo, to secure the remainder. Tho labor arraugcuieut for the year, then, is the paramount question of tho day.? Heretofore wo have advised hiring for money or standing wages?and still think this the best arrangement when labor cau be hired at reasonable rates. Hut mnder. existing circumstances, when labor io-high small cloth bag, hang it round his nock with a tape, so it would come at the bottom of the sternum or breast bone, and securing it i tbcro with another tape round the body, to i keep it in place. This, lie said, would ail I evaporate in a week or ten days, when he i must get another and use it in the same way. Two ounces thus used, costing 20 cents, would cure, he declared, the worst ? care of ague so it would never come back , The Kansas utan declared that he had tried ' this remedy in hundreds of cases, and had 1 never known it to fail. .Since obtaining 1 this information I have tried it many times, with tlie same results. So simple and harmless a remedy ought to he in general \ use.? I'ruirif: Farmer. 1 lliches have wings, but they seldom fly i toward a man. i compare with the products of labor, it is better to pay in part of the crop, and thus , compel the laborer to share with the land- t lord the loss from low prices, bad seasons, , &c. The chief point to be guarded is, , that the landlord shall retain control in | the matter of rotating the crops?runniug bill-sido ditches, laying off rows on a | level?restraining the pasturing of stock? ; in others words preventing injury to the i laud. ? Chicken Cholera appears often to be spread by other chickens eating the intestinal contents of those which have been killed for the table There would be nothing violent in the assumption that disease might be produced in a healthy fowl from lecdiug upon the intestinal and excremcntitious matter of another fowl, itself in health.? This probability develops into a certaiuty if the intestines arc from the body of a fowl in which the disease existed in the undeveloped form of the incubative period, which may exist for several days before the bird becomes sick. Any fowls bought from strangers uro legitimate subjects of suspicion. There is a plain piece of common sense which may ho put into practice here, and that is, to rjquiro the cook to burn the intestines of every fowl cleaned. Facts are not wanting in our personal experience which go to show that the excremcnta of an animal arc more or less dangerous to all other animals, and especially so to other nililll.lU nf lie ntrn L-iiul Animnl linri?nn i -- ? j?j is an important branch of agricultural science, which has been little thought about or written about, except in rather a loose way." In nothing have the practices of modern civilization been less sensible and more disgusting and dangerous than iu our modes of dealing with human and animal excrcmcnta and other impurities, from which arise, all over the earth, multifarious forms of sickness and death to man and beast.?Southern Planter and Parmer. .# - A Ckutain Click for ('mills and Kkvkk.?Several years ago I was traveling In the course of a conversation he remarked than in the early settlement of that State he hail suffered much, as all early settlers always do in the West, from this disease.? He had used the ordinary remedies, largely composed of quinine, with the usual results ?curing, for the time being, to return again in a week or two. lleing among some of the Indians south ! of that Stato. he came across a Frenchman '> who called himself a doctor. This man i advised him to get an ounce of camphor, 1 all in ouc piece, if possible, sew it up in a WHAT A PAINTER LEASHED OF THE FATE OF MEM WHO DON'T FAY UP. A printer sat in hia office cbair, his boots were patched and his'coat threadbare, nud his face looked weary and worn with care. While coldly thinking of business debt, old Morpheus slowly rouud him crept, and be* fore ho knew it ho soundly slept, and sleeping ate d that he was dead from trouble auu toil; his spirit had fled, and that not even a cow bell tolled, for the peaceable rest of tho cowhide sole. As ho wandered among the shades that suiokc and scorch in lower hades, he shortly observed an iron Joor, that creakingly swang ou hinges ajar, but tho cntrauce was closed with red hot bar, and Satan himself stood peeping out, waiting for travelers there about, and thus to the passing printer spoke : "Come in uiy dear; it shall cost you nothing, and never fear. This is the place where I cook the ones who never pay their subscription sums ; for though in life they escape, they will find wheu they aro dead it is too late; I will show you the place where I melt them thin with rcdhot chains Lhcir and scraps of tin; and also where 1 comb heads with brokeu glass and melted lead, mid of refreshments they only think, there's hoiliug water for them todriuk, there's the red liu^riudstone to griud his nose, and and Tru^red hot ring to wear on his toes, and if they mention they don't like fire, I'll sew up their mouths with red hot wire; mid then, dear sir, you should see thorn quirni, while I roll theui over; and cool to turn." With the last words the printer awoke mid thought it was a practical joke ; butstill at tiircs so real did it seem, that_ lie caunot believe it was a dream ; aud often he thinks with a chuck and grin of the fate 3f those who save their tin aud never pay the printer. Tim MKitciKt.'Tj Man?Tim Mfrcilkss Mule.?The llnloigh (N. C.) Observer thus pleasantly alludes to the merciful man whose care for a borrowed borse well nigh lost South Carolina a Governor : 41 A merciful mau is merciful to his beast, 2nd it is a sorry fellow that will ride % borrowed horse to death, and that is the reason why Governor Hampton rode a mule instead of a horse in a deer hunt, which proved such a costly diversion for him.? He is a hard rider, aud the day before had l . n . 19 i -I'll i i i i useu .1 menu s norsc wnicn no nau wisneu to ?pare on the second day. This is all very well, but knowing the changes and chances of mortal life on a mule, even with the best of riders, aud knowing that Governor Ilampton knew them, we have never |uitc forgiven hiui, iu our heart of hearts, for putting his State in such jeopardy.? When a mule huuips his back, nothing liuuiau can stay on it, and every mule is liable to hump his back at the most unexpected tnotneut. There arc many mules, but there is only one Ilampton, Ex^acmikuation.?The habit of exaggeration is one which rapidly grows into uutruth, if encouraged. Never "color" a story for tho sake of a foolish jest, or to excite the laughter of a few companions at the expense of a trioud. lie anxious when you relate anything to tell it just as it occurred. Never vary iu the least degree.? The reason why our cars are so often saluted by false reports is because people in telling real things add a little to thcui, and as they pass through a dozen mouths the original stories are turned iuto something entirely different. So wheu you attempt to tell an}thing that you have seen with your own eyes relate it correctly in every particular, and as you grow older you will reap the advautages of this course. There lives in Franklin County, N. C-, a man -19 years old, who never heard a sermon preached, never read a chapter in the lliblc, never fired a gun and never saw a white man married.?iYcio York lhrnH. There is a man in Hillsdale County, Mich, who never saw a horse, never heard a comic song, never read a newspaper paragraph, never saw a boat and never spoke to a woman. He.is deaf, dumb and blind, poor man.?Free 1'rcss. ? . . ? For Ciioi.kkaInkantum.?The whites of two eggs well beaten ; then mix with pure water (we incited ice,) add one tablospoonful of orange flower water and a little sugar, (too muck sugar is apt to make the bowels worse,) give a tablcspoonful every hour.? It will euro the worst cases of cholera infantum, the egg coating the bowels and healing them. . m An old bachelor, who particularly iiuica literary women, asked an authoress if she could throw any light on kissing. '*1 could," said she, looking archly at him ; "but I think it's better in the dark." "I'd like you to help me a little," said a vagrant, poking bis head into a country store. "Why don't you help yourself?" asked the proprietor. "Thank you, I will," said the tramp, picking up a bottle of pickles and two loaves of bread, and then vanishing. Thare ii lots ov people in this world who ire like a guideboard at the forks ov the road ; they can point out the right way lor others to pcrsow, but they don't follow t thcmsclfs.?Hi Hini/ii. ? - - ?
