- ftumorims cparttiwttl He Heard Too Much.?Lewis Gay lord Clark, the editor of the Knickerbocker Magazine, used to tell the following story with great delight: Some two miles np the river from St. | Johnsbury, Vermont, is a primitive sort of a little village called "The Centre." Here, not 1 long since, the rustic youth of the vicinity congregated to dance, "and dance they did," said our iuformant, "with an unction unknown 1 to your city belles and beaux." One interesting man, having imbibed too freely, became "fatigued" in the course of the evening, and wisely concluded to retire for a short rest. 4 A door ajar near the dancing hall reveaiea , invitingly a glimpse of a comfortable bed, of which he took possession, with the prospect of an undisturbed "snooze." It happened howbeit, that this was the "ladies' withdrawing room," and no sooner bad he closed his eyes than a pair of blooming damsels came in and began adjusting their disordered ringlets, the dim light of the tallow candle not disclosing the tenant of the bed. The girls had tongues (like most of their "sex" which ran this wise: "What a nice dance we're having! Have you heard anybody say anything about me, Jane ?" "Law, yes, Sally. Jim Brown says he never saw you look so handsome as you do to-night. Have you heard anybody say anything about me?" "About you ! Why, sartin. I heard Joe Flint tell Sam Jones that you were the pret tiest dressed girl in the room." Whereupon the dear things chuckled and "fixed up" a little more, and made off toward the ball-room. They had hardly reached the door, when our half conscious friend raised himself on his elbow, and quite intelligibly, though slowly inquired : "Have you heard anybody say anything about me, gals ?" Home Again.?A son of Maine who went vv est 111 eany youtn, ana nas mere aiutmea wealth and an honorable position, returned last summer to visit his old home. At the village store he saw an old man whom he had known in his younger days. He accosted him, but was not recognized. "So you don't remember me," he said: "I am John R." " You I" exclaimed the old man ; "you don't mean to tell me that you are John R. ?" "I certainly am," said the visitor, shaking him by the hand, "and I'm very glad to see you again." "Well," persisted the old man, "I never did. To think that this is you. They tell me you've grown awful rich, John." John admitted that he had "saved something." "And they say you're the president of a railroad, and get a big salary." Again John had to admit that rumor spoke truth. "I'm glad on it, John! I'm glad on it, my boy!. It beats all what earcumstancee and cheek will do for a man." A Court Convulsed.?We have seldom heard of an instance of more beautiful simplicity than was evinced by a matter-of-fact witness on a recent riot trial case. "What were the mob doing when you first saw them ?" was one of the questions asked bv the district attorney. oi*1' " rnnliorl + Vi A irifnOfiQ X lltj TTOO a OlUglU I &V|/14VV? VUV If ?vuww? "Singing!" exclaimed the public prosecutor; "what were they singing about ?" "I don't know, I'm sure; but they were singin', anyhow." "Well, what'was it? What were they singing? What did they seem to be talking about ?" "Wal, as far as I re collect," replied the witness, "they was singin' about a man o' the name o' Tucker, whose refused to come to his tea!" Mind-Reading.?Before she could utter the "Where have you been till this hour of the morning, anyhow ?" which was trembling on her lips, be says, "Bin t'ther roind-readin'; bet you seven dollars I can read your mind this very minnit." "Well, you old fool, what am I thinking of now ?" she said, in a tone of sadness. "Thinkin' of! Why, I can read yer mind like ther open pages of 'er book ; yer thinkin' I'm drunken 'r a biled v owl, but yer never was worse fooled in yer life." She only said that there must be something in mind-reading, after all, for he had hit the nail square on the head. A Mineral Flavor.?The other day a Newark man who went to his well to draw . a pail of water found that it had a strong mineral flavor. A chemist analyzed it, and iounu 11 to contain excellent, uieuiciuai pi uperties. The neighbors came in, drank some, and smacked their lips with a gusto. It was a big thing, and no mistake, said the proprietor. Alas! a day or two later it was discovered that one of the vats in a patent leather factory was leaking, and the fellows who had been taking a dozen glasses every morning for their health are now talking of bringing suits for damages against the well-man. * ? * Within One.?On a certain occasion, before the poet Saxe had emigrated from Vermont, a gentleman was quoting an opinion of the Governor of that State on some political question, as if it were conclusive. "Pshaw ! who cares for the Governor?" said the tall poet._ "A Governor is no great affair; I once came within one of being a Governor J1 myself." "What!" exclaimed the other, who ^ knew that Saxe was defeated by an immense majority. "What do you mean by one?" "The candidate of the other party," was the answer. A Distinguished Man.?One of the secretaries of a missionary society, a distinguished man, was about to preach to a colored congregation, when he was introduced by the regular minister of the church, a black man, in these words: "Now den, brudden, I'se heah to info'm you dat bruddah Blank is . .1 TT 1 gwine to preacn to you to aay. ne is ae secretary of de missionary society, a distinguished an' a eloquent man?in fact, my bruddun, he is a soundin' brass an' a tinklin' cynrbal." Faith and Work.?"The Lord will provide" is an excellent motto, but "The Lord helps those who help themselves" is equally good. The patriot who sits all day in the sun on a dry-goods box before the village store, whittling, and talking 'bout last 'lection, though he have all the faith in the world, mustn't expect to go home to supper and find quail and buttered toast waiting for him when he gets there. Sorry.?A man broke a chair over his wife's head. When he got to jail and the chaplain undertook to talk to him he displayed a good deal of penitence. He said he was very sorry he had permitted his anger to obtain the mastery over him, and to suffer j him to do such an act, because it was a good chair, one of those good old-fashioned Windsor chairs which was an heirloom in his family, and he ki^ew he never could replace it. A Good Reason.?Two lawyers in Lowell j returning from court, the other day, one said to the other, "I've a notion to join Rev. Mr. 's church ; been debating the matter for i some time. What do you think of it?"} "Wouldn't do it," said the other. "Well, why ?" "Because it could do you no possible good, while it would be a great injury to i the church." Indian Wit.?Here is a specimen of| Indian wit, from the diary of elder Adams, i A landlord asked an Indian a copper more for rum in the spring t:han the fall before. The Indian inquired the reason. "It costs me as much to keep a hogshead of rum over j winter as a horse." Indian?"He won't eat as much hay. Maybe he drink as much water." A lazy fellow once declared that he | couldn't find bread for his family. "Nor I," I replied an industrious mechanic, "I am obliged to work for it." j HJiscenatteousi Reading. GREENYILLE FEDERAL COURT. The following is the presentment of the grand jury for the August term of the United States Court for the Western District of South Carolina, the Hon. George S. Bryan, District Judge, presiding: The grand jury, after discharging the various duties which have devolved upon them during the present term of the court, beg leave to submit: We congratulate your Honor and the country upon the great reduction in the number and degree of offences against the laws of the United States, now committed within the jurisdiction of this Court, and of which it has cognizance, which can eventuate in an increase of peace and prosperity to the citizens and a timely reduction of the expenses of this deDartment of the General Government. We would record our approbation of the recent act of Congress, the beneficent operation of which has been witnessed for the first time in this Court during the present terra, viz: of the defendants being allowed to testify in their own behalf, thus affording juries all the light which can be attained upon every case while allowing them discretion to attach such weight as they deem proper to the evidence. In this connection we deem it our duty to give expression of approval to the liberal spirit of influencing the govern-raent in granting amnesty to violators of the revenue laws within the borders of this State, and are happy to add, so far as this grand jury has information, that it has been met in a spirit of good faith and appreciation by those of our fellow-citizens to whom its beneficient provisions were extended, as evidenced in this class of our population, no longer cumbering the dockets of United States Courts .with repetition of former infractions of the law, and acting on the dictates of a broad humanity, of which this act of the government is felt to be the embodiment. This grand jury indulges the hope that the wisdom and patriotism of the National Congress may succeed in devising such modifications of existing revenue laws as will subserve the best interests of the government, without working undue hardships to any class of our fellow-citizens ; and the United States commis sioners shall be especially careful, while vigilant to uphold'the supremacy of law without aP fKn Alfivon nnf. in I LI J UIJ tU bftlC ligiibo vi biiv vtvifivu) ww vw withdraw from the productive industries of the country or subject to the inconvenience of constant" attendance, and at times protracted and expensive litigation before United States Courts, those of our fellow-citizens, only trenching in matters trivial on the letter, not the spirit, of the statute, especially where ignorant of the provisions of the revenue laws of the country. We are deeply impressed with the conviction that the peace and prosperity of this sec tion of our common country would be greatly promoted, violations of the law less frequent, the revenue of the government increased and the expenses of this courftry greatly reduced, were the laws for the collection of taxes on spirits and tobacco siraplihed. In our opinion the present system is both complicated and expensive, requiring as it does a large detective force, which can never accomplish results commensurate with the great outlay imposed upon the government. A simplelaw, imposing a license tax in proportion to its capacity on every still used in manufacturing spirits, would, we believe, bring a larger revenue to the government and greatly reduce the cost of collection. The present law, preventing the smallest farmers from selling their tobacco to any one except a tobacco manufacturer, imposes a hardship upon them, of whifch we think they -rtllAWAyl ktv o nnrnnrlo to Iflfviol Q linn 3I1UU1U UC igiicvcu UJ ap^ivpuuw ivgiuiuxvu. In view of the fact that this Court, representing as it does more conspicuously than any other agency in our midst the National government, has no building at its command in which to hold its sessions; in view also of the growing importance of the city of Greenville, and the whole section of country com prising the jurisdiction of this Court, and the obvious need of a suitable building at this point, not only for a courthouse, but for a post-office and other government offices, for which are now paid heavy rents, with insufficient accommodations, as the present juries have severely experienced, we earnestly renew and repeat the recommendations of former grand juries, that our senators and representatives in Congress be requested to urge the importance of an appropriation for that purpose upon the General Government at the earliest nracticable period. This grand jury cannot close without returning their thanks to the presiding Judge for his able and instructive charge and exposition of the relative duties of citizen and government at the opening of the present session of Court. Our thanks are also due to the other officers of the Court for uniform official courtesies extended this grand jury in the discharge of duties imposed on them by law. All of which is respectfully submitted. C. T. Hammond, Foreman. August 30,1879. OUR PHOSPHATES. It will not be pleasant news to the State at large to learn that, while prospects are brightening for most of the other branches of our trade and industry, the mining of Phosphates, which had grown to be so important and valuable an interest in South Carolina, has suddenly and almost completely ceased. All the phosphate companies in the neighborhood of Beaufort and Port Royal, with a single exception, have suspended operations and discharged their employees. Of the five companies engaged in mining phosphates in Charleston county, three have likewise suspended work; a fourth, it is said, is on the point of doing so ; while the fifth is kept at work completing an unexpired contract, but will also suspend as soon as existing engagements shall nave been fulfilled. We are told that more than two thousand laborers, here and in Beaufort county, are thus thrown out of employment. The cause of this serious industrial calamity is a cessation of the foreign demand for phosphate rock. Most of the companies now have large quantities of rock on hand for which there is no inquiry. The consequent tumble in prices has been such as to compel the companies to suspend work in order to avoid further loss. The stagnation of trade in Great Britain, and more especially the blue prospect for the agricultural interest, is of course the root of the trouble. A large phosphate dealer in Bristol, England, writes to a prominent house in this city : "The season has been an exceptionally bad one for the manure trade on this side. Not only have manufacturers curtailed their purchases of' raw material, but they are left with large i stocks of their manufactured manures un-1 sold." There is as little demand at home as ; abroad for the crude rock. The manufactur- J ers of fertilizers here have a sufficient stock j .... UonJ onrl ?V>q "WnrtliDrn mnnnfflptlirprs i vu uauuj nuu i/uv vuv?u ? have already contracted for all they care to buy. The miners find that they cannot make money on phosphates at 85 per ton, and even that price cannot now be realized. Some of i the dealers express the opinion that the large exports of wheat from this country to Europe j has had something to do with the cessation of the demand for phosphate rock on the other side of the water. They say that if Ameri- j can wheat can be sold cheaper than the na- j tive article, the latter will not be grown there, and consequently fertilizers will not be needed. The shipments of the rock from Charleston last year amounted to but 55,000 toDS, and at this time one company alone is known to have 75,000 tons on hand. Altogether, the outlook for our Phosphate interest at this time is anything but cheering.?News and Courier.

Opinions differ among men on the improvement of stock just as widely as on any other question of importance. Some contend that it is best to buy in the outset the most improved breeds, in order to reach the speediest and-happiest results. This will do for those who have plenty of the ready cash. But as this is not the case with farmers generally, we , must look for some other method by which the end desired may be reached and all benefitted. The trouble with the South generally is that there is not enough attention paid to stock. Most every farmer has more or less; but they are, as a rule, of that character to warrant no considerable amount of attention and excite no considerable degree of pride, and no man who feels no pride in his stock, will ever prosper in handling it. It is better to move slowly than not to move at all. Particularly is this the case with those who are not entirely prepared to care properly for their cattle, and who know little about managing them. It would, in our opinion, be better for a number of our farmers to club together and buy one or more improved animals for their own use. Cross these animals with our common stock, and the result would be most gratifying. It is true, they would only be grade stock, the improvement would be not only very perceptible, but would add very largely to the value of the stock. Our observation has led us to tliis conclusion, and we may say here,,we have had a good deal of experience in breeding stock?that for very many purposes on the farm, grade stock equal those wliicl\ draw their form from the purest strains. Pure stock, like everything else, is to be desired above that which bears the taint of common blood. We prefer thoroughbred all the time. But the thoroughbred cow will give no more milk, nor yield any more butter, nor in the end make better beef, than the grades. A great many men who handle stock know very well, but not all of them will confess, that there is as much humbuggery about stock raising as about anything else. We speak advisedly when we assert that the great secret at last in possessing fine stock is in glorious pastures and full corn cribs. It makes no difference what breed of stock a man may possess, if he does not feed liberally and carefully attend to them, they will soon become common enough. The great difficulty in any enterprise is to start it. If it gets on its legs once, and it can stand, it will be apt to walk, and take care of itself. Now, if some of our enterprising farmers in every neighborhood would, {is we have suggested, club together and buy,a thoroughbred Bull, or Horse, or Boar, or Buck, the cost would not amount to mucn to each, and the result would be more than satisfactory. With good grades carefully attended and fed from the moment of weaning, the process towards pure stock may be rapidly made. By continually crossing pure males with grades we may, in a few years, with a little cost, produce stock $ pure, which is nearly as complete as is attained by most breeders. Give a stock breeder an animal $ pure, and he will swear that that animal is thoroughbred and no mistake. Our people are beginning to learn one important lesson, viz.: that Georgia is to be re-invigorated by the introduction of stock?that the day has arrived for this work, and that with its arrival enterprising men are preparing for the harvest by importing and breeding pare stock.

The following interesting figures we copy from the Scientific Press of San Francisco : The first eight metals of the table are extremely rare, and are only sold in minute quantities, but at rates which would make the value of a pound as stated. It will be seen that the expression "worth its weight in gold," is by no means superlative. VALUE PER POUND AVOIRDUPOIS.

It is a matter that I have tested thoroughly in practice, and I have learned that animals that are treated kindly are not apt to be vicious or ugly. Treat them kindly always, young or old; let them know that you will not hurt them ; and more, teach them that you are their best friend. It is very easy, and also a very pleasant thing to do, and if you do it the chances are that your cows will be kind and gentle, your steers and oxen, and your colts and horses will be, also. If it be found that animals cannot be made useful by kind treatment, it is best to get rid of them. Treated kindly from the start they yield to it easily. Professor Miles, when going round with me to see my sheep, said: ""What is the matter with your sheep ? They do not run when they see you ?" "I could only say, in reply, that they knew me, and had come to regard me as their best friend. I should feel that something was wrong with me if my domestic animals did not welcome me and appear pleased at my approach." Curing Clover IIay.?My plan is to start the mower at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, after all water has evaporated, and the heat of the day is passed. Rain or dew will make clover hay black if it is cured before it (the rain or dew) falls upon it. ?5y cutting in the after part of the day the clover does not cure enough to damage, and as the dew is only on the top of the hay, it soon dries off. Clover don't want much sun; if it gets too much the leaves rattles off, and you have stems. By ten o'clock start the rake, and by two or three o'clock set the men to putting it up into cocks. Don't let it stand two or three days, but turn it out the next day if the weather is good, and haul it in. It only wants to remain in the cock long enough to get hot, and when it is opened and aired it is ready to be housed. Apply a little salt while unloading, say sow, as you would grain, about twice over the stack or mow, while the load is being taken off. I)o not get worried if it heats some after being put away; it will come out bright and sweet in the spring. Stock prefers well cured clover hay to the best gilt-edged timothy, and it ought to be the best judge in such matters. Poor clover is the wrorst of feed. The great secret in making good clover hay is to keep it free from moisture except its own?mold don't damage it much.?Cor. Rural Sun. Stacking Clover.?In stacking clover, at least six quarts of salt should be scattered through every ton as it is laid up. It is important that the centre of the stack bottom, where the rails or poles are laid, should be raised twelve or fourteen inches higher than the outer edge. There is nothing in hay making that pays better than to make a good stack foundation, especially for clover hay. In building the stack keep the centre solid and high, and the outside comparatively loose, and rake down well. If one desires to ventilate use a sack, say eighteen inches in diameter and four or five feet long: fill it with chaff or some light material, place it upright in the centre on the foundation of the stack and build around it. As the stack rises, the sack must be drawn up, leaving a hole in the centre from bottom to top, which should be properly capped over to prevent the rain from getting in. In conclusion, the writer is prepared to admit that hay made of grass after the seeds and the stalks are fully matured, will last longer than that made as suggested above. Old straw or brush will last still longer?perhaps longer than the cattle.?Or. Farm and Fireside. that jesus loveu sinners, ueuausc nc men iu? them. 1st John, 3 :16. We know that we love God if we are willing and anxious to make sacrifices in behalf of his; cause and people. If we love the ordinances of God's house, it is an evidence of conversion. "One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life." Ps. 27:4. It is a hard matter to keep an unconverted man in the church, but it is a much harder thing to keep a converted man out of the church. To the former the church is a wearisomeness. To the latter the church and heaven are inseparably associated in his mind. The last evidence which we give of conversion, is submission to God's word and providences. The whole of Christian duty is expressed by one word, and that word is obey. On the other hand, disobedience embraces all sin. The unconverted man disobeys, as it were, by instinct, while a spirit of obedience is the characteristic of the converted man. We are not to expect perfect obedience.

The word Regeneration occurs only twice in the Bible. This can be no reasonable" ok jection to its use, provided the thing that is expressed by it is taught in the Scriptures. No one will deny that the Scriptures constantly teach that, by nature, we are dead in trespasses and sins, and that before we can enter into communion with (Sod, we must be quickened into life?must be born again?born? rather begotteh?from heaven ; born of God, created anew, made new creatures, new hearts and new spirits roust be put within us. To be quickened into life and to be regenerated, mean, or are designed to mean, the same thing. ITnw ihpn mov on in/litrirtnol Wnnw that he has been regenerated and quickened into life ? Many persons are troubled because they are unable to specify a particular period when this event took place. It would be a very strange thing were it otherwise. God has so arranged the whole remedial scheme that all the redeemed must live, while in the flesh, by faith and not by sejuse. Of the countless millions of the human family who populate the globe, no one of them remembers when he was born into the world. We will not presume to say that of those who have been made new creatures, none know the precise time at which that event took place; but we will venture to affirm that such cases are so few, as only to prove exceptions to the general rule. No doubt there are some persona who are persuaded, in their own minds, that they know the very hour that they passed from death unto life. These persons, we honestly think, are mistaken. As well might they say that they know whence the wind came and whither it goes. Those persons who claim to be able to fix a date to their regeneration, are most probably mistaken. This is one of the many things which God never designed we should know. Again, others distress themselves because they are unable to note any particular period when a great and marked change took place within them. They saw no strange sights and felt no strange eraotiors. They were not prostrated upon the ground and made speechless by a wonderful exhibition of Almighty power. Some persons?how many we do not Bay?think all are horn into the kingdom ot grace as was Paul. He saw, at mid-day, a light from heaven above the brightness of the sun; he heard a voice saying unto him: "Why persecutest thou me?" Some think that they must see the same things and hear the same things that Paul saw and heard. Not only bo, but some go so far as to say that they have had the same experience which Paul had. Such conclusions are not warranted from the general tenor of the Scriptures, and that individual, in this age of the world, who says, at the time of his being born from heaven he saw wonderful sights and heard wonderful voices, is, in this instance, not worthy of credence. He is either crazy or a monstrous hypocrite. The age of miracles is past. Under the Old Testamen^dispensation, miracles were wrought for the purpose of proving that, according to the promise of God, the gospel dispensation was approaching. In the early age of the gospel dispensation, miracles were wrought t<f prove that the gospel dispensation, which had been promised, had already come. God always will interpose bin power in behalf of his people, but there is no evidence that since the Apostolic age, any miracles have ever been wrought. Farther, there is no evidence that regeneration ever was attended with such supernatural events as to enable the regenerated individual to mark, with certainty, the day or hour of his new birth. To this, Paul's case is not an exception. Regeneration is the work of the Holy Spirit. Hence, the Scriptures say that it is being born of the Spirit. No one knows how the Spirit acts upon the soul dead in trespasses and sins, and causes it to live, farther than is revealed in the Bible. In regeneration the Holy Spirit gives the power and inclination to turn from sin. The question is, hovr can we know that this power has been given to us ? It may be well to remark in this place, that we never can know the fact, with that absolute certainty which will do away with the necessity of faith and hope. A well grounded hope is all that we need expect It may be farther remarked that the evidences cf regeneration are spiritually discerned. In other words, they are not discernible by the natural senses. If we will examine the process through which the sinner goes in passing from death to life, from a state of moral pollution to a state of glory, we will be able to discover some of the J -?~ +1 'PKa nfflrn'nnf nnucn eviueiicea U1 rc^ciiciatiuu, Jiiiocmuiuiiu tauoc of regeneration is the Holy Spirit?the instrumental cause is the word of God. We are not at liberty to say that any one is regenerated by the Spirit without the use of the instrumental cause. In other words, where there is no knowledge, or no proper use made of the Scriptures, there can be no regeneration of those who have passed beyond the infantile state. Do we study God's word ? If so, we are in the right road. If we do not, we have reason to fear that we are still dead in our sins. Regeneration is followed by conversion. The difference between regeneration and conversion, seems to be this. In regeneration, a spiritual change is produced in the inner man. ^In conversion, the changed soul begins new movements, which may be called spiritual motions. In regeneration, life is infused into the dead bones ; in conversion, the bones, once dry and dead, begin to move. Wherever there is no regeneration, there can be no conversion. Where there is no life, there is no motion, no turning. Now the evidences of conversion are many. One is love of God. The language of the converted soul is, "Whom have I in heaven but thee ? and there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee." Ps. 73:25. Another evidence of conversion is love for God's people. The whole law is comprehended in love to God and love to man. It would be a strange thing if a converted man did not love all other converted men. The evidences of love are capable of being discerned 'by the senses. We know - ' ' i poor evidence in the case of another. Where much is given, much is required; and, on the contrary, where little is given, little is required. THE GENUINE DR. C. MeLANE'S Celebrated American WORM SPECIFIC OR VERMIFUGE. SYMPTOMS OF WORMS.

With the . unconverted, the very reverse is true. God is in none of their thoughts, to render unto him obedience. The stupid ass and the dull ox know and obey their master, but unconverted sinners say, in their hearts, as Pharaoh said to Moses and Aaron, "Who is the Lord that I should obey his voice ?" Now, since conversion always follows regeneration, and there can be no conversion- where there is no regeneration, we may conclude that wherever we find Scriptural signs of conversion, there are also signs of regeneration. It may not be amiss to remark that the signs of conversion are not equally apparent in all Christians, nor in the same individual at all times. What would be to one individual good evidence of a change of heart, would be but SERGEANT & GREEN8B0 MANUFACTURERS 0] "TROPIC" coo: r \ IB BMiMp8** B ^ ^hUB wr.%18 ^ HH^R T. M.
