THE WIDOW'S GRIEF.
She was a handsome and wealthy young
widow and had just lost her husband. Full
of grief over the loss of her beloved one, she
sought a dealer in monuments, a friend of
the dear departed.
Seeing the sympathetic face of her husband's
friend, the tears burst afresh from
her eyes as she greeted him, sobbing?
"You have heard it then? George is gone."
Yes, he had heard it.
"And now," said she, "I want to get a
monument, the tinest and most imposing
monument that you can make. I don't care
for the expense. You have them costing as
much as ten thousand dollars, don't you ?

ment for that. He would prepare a design
and submit it to her.
"You will have it ready soon, will you
not ?" she pleaded. "This evening ?"
"No; not this evening," he replied ; but
he would hurry it up, and bring it to her
residence. So it was settled, and she went
away to wait anxiously for the design.
Then the monument man got out an old
design, had it transferred to a clean piece of
paper, and in fifteen minutes was ready for
the widow. In a week or so he submitted
his work. He found her more reconciled to
her loss and inclined to be critical, but on
the whole she was pleased with the design.
"But," she said, "I have been talking over
the matter with my sister, and she thinks
five thousand dollars ought to buy a very
nice monument. Couldn't you make one
like that for five thousand ?"
"No," responded he; "but I can build a
handsome monument for five thousand.
Shall I make a design for one of that figure?"
. "Yes, I wish you would, please, and I
will call at your office in a week or two and
examine it."
"I can make some alterations in this
plan and have it ready very soon," he urged.
"1 could bring it around to-morrow
just as well as not."
"Oh no; I won't trouble you to do so.
There is no particular hurry about it, and I
will call upon you; it's my turn, you
know." And she smiled graciously upon

Well, what was a poor monument man to
do ? He could only wait, and he did wait,
busying himself meanwhile, in getting up
elaborate and really beautiful designs. One
day he met the lady on the street, dressed
in the merest apology for half mourning.
He bowed obsequiously, and informed her
that the design was finished, and he thought
it would not fail to be perfectly satisfactory.
"Oh," she said, "I have been so busy,
don't you know, with one thing and another,
that I had forgotten all about it. Let
me see, how much was that to cost ?"
"Five thousand dollars."
"Oh, dear, I really can't afford to pay that
much. Now couldn't you?" this very bewitchingly,
"make a real nice monument
for about five hundred dollars? 1 know
you can, and I will come around and see you
about it real soon ; good-by."
Then the monument man went to his
office and told his grief to a three-legged
lamb and a stone angel.
Some time after this the charming widow
with a male friend, whom she called "Charley,"
dropped in again.
"Do you know," she said, "I feel so
ashamed to think that I never came around
to look at your pretty designs. Charley
and I have concluded that those great,
costly ornaments are so foolish, after one's
dead, you know. We think it's wicked,
don't we, Charley?"
Charley allowed that it was.
"But," she contined, "those little white
boards, such as they put at soldiers' graves,
Charley and I think they are very nice. So
neat and unpretentious. Couldn't you make
one of them for me, and put George's monogram
011 it? His initials make such a
pretty monogram."
Then the monument man's cup was full,
and he spilled it over on them. He told
her that Charley could get an old shingle
and tack one of George's business cards
on it.
Then she called him "a horrid beast,"
and Charley said he would "lick the J
stuftin' out of him for half a cent," and
they sailed out.
The Cashiek Ahead.?A new bank
which had been established in a town in
Indiana had engaged the service of a
watchman who came well recommended, I
but who did not seem over experienced.
The President therefore sent for him to post
him up a bit, and begnn:
"James, this is your first job of the kind,
isn't it?"
"Yes, sir."
"Your first duty must lie to exercise
vigilance."
"Yes, sir."
"He careful how strangers approach you."
"I will, sir."
"No stranger must be permitted to enter
the bank under nnv pretext whatever."
"No, sir."
"And ourcashier?he is a good niaiij honest,
reliable and trustworthy, but it will beyour
duty to keep an eye on him."
"But it will be hard to watch two men and
the bank at the same time, sir."
"Two men?how ?"
"Why, sir, it was only yesterday that the
cashier called me in for a talk, and he said
you were the squarest man in Indiana; but
that it would be just as well to keep both

Wanted to Suffer.?A gentleman, who
was riding along a lonely road in Arkansas,
heard some one groaning, and turning aside
he saw a man standing near a tree.
"What's the matter, my friend?"
"Oh, Lord, caught in a bear trap! (to on
away from here!"
"Let me assist in getting you out."
"Oh, Lord! Go on away, I tell you."
"Don't you want to get out?"
"I reckon I do."
"Then why won't you let me help you?"
"Because I s^t this trap here the other
day, and a man that ain't got no more sense
than to get caught in his own trap ought to
suffer. I've been trappin' for thirty years,
and this is the first time that I've acted the
fool. Go on, stranger, for I'm going to worry
along with this thing till I learn somethin'.
A man that's as big a fool as I am, is dangerous

Paintixg House Walls.?rf a plastered
wall be new, and has not been whitewashed,
it will do to size it with glue water;
but if it has been calciinined or whitewashed,
which is often the case, no glue sizing
should ever touch it. Any preparation of
that kind is liable, sooner or later, to peel
off and spoil the surface for any future
finish. A safer way is to take oil and coat
the whole surface before painting, which
makes a fast union of any wash to the wall.
On such a base oil paints will adhere perfectly.
But the principle trouble in painting
walls is found in the defective character
of the plastering. If one is building a
house, he can place the studding twelve
inches from center to center, so that strong
laths will not spring and break up the.mortar
at every pressure. The laths, too,
should be spread one-fourth of an inch
apart, and the mortar have twelve pounds
of hair to the barrel of lime. This will
make a wall that will stand like the walls
of the houses plastered a hupjlred years ago.
The reason why the plastering falls off from
1 ka/mnon flin lo+lic 01?a
our luuueni uuusca IS uuuunt nib iuui.7 U>\.
laid so close that the immediate swelling
cuts off the clinch, and the mortar is usually
too sandy, and has but six pounds of
hair. On sucn a surface are laid three coats,
| when the clinch will fail to hold one. Professional
lathers or masons themselves ought
to lay the laths and be sure of a large
spread; then if the mortar is strong or rich,
with plenty of hair, there can be no falling
off. I have seen many houses so poorly
plastered that the entire surface had to be
cleaned off and replastered after a few
years. A person coming into possession of
such dwelling, no sooner gets the walls well
Eainted to his taste than they begin to
reak up and disfigure the whole work. If
you are sure the work is well done, the
ceiling as well as the side walls may be
painted to advantage. "When any portion
becomes soiled or smoked, it will tnen be
an easy matter to wash it off. Rooms once
thoroughly prepared in that way last for a
life-time and always look substantial and
neat. In case of cracks, make putty of the
same color as the paint and fill up.
Leached Wood Ashes.?Ashes from the
stove or furnace contain all the mineral constituents
necessary for plant growth, and are
therefore very valuable as a fertilizer to a
worn out, naturally poor soil. A large part
of the potash i.s removed from ashes in leaching,
and as this constituent is a leading one,
leached ashes are of less value as plant food
than when fresh. The owner should save,
in a secure place, all the ashes made and apply
them to the land in the spring. A topdressing
of twenty bushels per acre to an
old pasture or meadow will give good returns
for several years. The leached ashes
should be disposed of in the same manner,
only they may be applied at the rate of one
hundred bushels per acre. Leached ashes
have been bought and used for many years
by farmers and gardeners 011 Long Island
and near the shore towns in Connecticut.
These ashes are brought mainly from Canada.
Ashes are especially good for tobacco
land, and onion raisers find them profitable.
It has been observed that where this fertilizer
has been introduced, it retains its hold
upon the confidence of those who use it.
Fruit growers are glad to get leached ashes
for their small fruit gardens, and even orchards
of large trees are much benefited by
them. Save all the ashes, leached or unleached,
and if there is a good opportunity
buy and apply them.?American Agricufturitif.
Preserving Power of Soil.?It is well
known that in soil where lime abounds,
dead bodies are fossilized in a few years, or
even in a few months, after burriel. In soil
where there is no lime, there are sometimes
other elements which often preserve the
features of a buried body unchafiged for
many years. The philosophic Hamlet,
musing by an old grave over the fact that
man turns into dust, and dust into earth,
exclaims:
Imperial Ciesar, dead and turned to clay
Might stop a hole to keep the wind awav!
But what wouiu nave ueen ms musings
if lie had stood beside the disinterred body
of his father and form appearing as natural
as when he gave the world assurance of a
man? Yet this might have been, for there
are numerous cases on record where bodies
disinterred for removal, and after years of
interment, have been found to be as well
preserved as if they had been only a few
days dead. General Washington's features
were quite perfect when his body was taken
up to be put in the sarcophagus, where it
now reposes. The same was true of General
Wayne, when his body was removed
forty years after death ; and of Robert Burns,
twenty one years after burial. But it seems
almost incredible that the body of John
Hampden, who was disinterred 2(H) years
after death, should have been in a similar
state of preservation. But Lord Xugent records
the fact. His word is not to be questioned.
Possibly the most remarkable fact
of all these cases is that the bodies crumbled
to dust soon after exposure.
The Good of Fallowing.?Nearly all
the good of fallowing is obtained by a green
crop that is either plowed under, or fed to
live stock, and the manure returned to the
land. A soil gains in its stock of available
plant food bv growing crops, if none of the
soil elements are removed. Pasturage is
one of the best methods of recruiting land.
Potash and phosphoric acid are brought up
from the lower soil by the roots, and finally
deposited either on the surface or in the
turf. In like manner, the nitric acid that
| might have escaped in the drainage water,
[ is captured by the roots, and changed into a
fixeu form in organic compounds. A quicker
method of renewing the strength of a feeble
soil is to grow some scavenger plant, like
buckwheat, and plow under the whole crop,
I thus adding organic matter rapidly to the
surface soil. This may be followed by clo,
ver, a plant that has a special renovating
1 power, and by growing throughout the
whole season is one of the best means of
gathering and holding fertility. The fallow
is valuable, but in most cases a growing
crop does a larger and more lasting work of
restoration.?Dr. B. I). Jlafstedin American
Agrieutturht for Jane.
How to Make Tea.?The proper method
of making tea ought always to be
observed, yet although so simple, few seem
to know how. People will spoil it by boiling,
or they will make a weak decoction of
the almost tasteless Oolong or Hyson and
adding a few drops of milk, will swallow |
cup after cup of the insipid stuff and im- |
agine that tney are taking tea. Tea to be
go<xl must never be boiled, as boiling kills
the tine flavor and the aroma. There is !
hut one way to make tea, which is to allow .
one spoonful for each person, you expect to j
supply; pour on boiling water (be sure the
water boils,) let the infusion stand on the !
table (never over the tire) and in from three !
to five minutes, it is ready for use. A cup i
of rosy-flavored English breakfast two- i
thirds "tea and one-third milk makes a bev-j
erage fit for an epicure, a philosopher or a ;
king.
Millet.?A farmer who luts long grown |
the ordinary millet, and having a dairy of!
over 00 cows, says it is the best fodder of all I
he has tried (sorghum, amber cane, or sweet- i
corn, etc.), for making milk, whether cut!
green for soiling or when first coming into !
bloom for hay. He gets two to three tons j
per acre, and will sow twenty acres this ,
year. I have tried it repeatedly on my poor
soil here, but never got a good crop?proba- i
bly because not matured enough. Millet is
cultivated like Hungarian grass. June is j
early enough to sow the millet, as it ma- i
tures in six to eight weeks. In latitude of
40deg. sow early in May, and again every ;
two weeks through June, and thus get a sue- i
cession of crops from July 1st through August.
Bad ox America.?Nine tenths of the j
people of the United States suffer with Dyspepsia
and what are its many causes. Hot j
food, hasty eating, intemperance, bad air, i
lack of exercise, excessive use of tea, coffee
or tobacco and anything that prevents the i
regular action of the stomach will produce
it. Its symptoms are headache, flatulency,;
loss of energy, fetid breath, melancholy.

REV. ROBERT LATHAN.
CHRIST.--AS SEEN BYTHE EVANGELISTS.
BY REV. J. W. LOGUE.
The life of Christ, after the few sketches
of unearthly grandeur that marked its opening
pages, had been allowed to pass under
a veil of obscurity so deep as to hide it almost
entirely from human view. But this
obscurity was not to last always. It was a
part of that humiliation through which he
was to pass in accomplishing that work that
had been given him to do. But now, this
part being passed, this veil that had covered
so many years is suddenly lifted, and his
life begins again to pass in panoramic viewbefore
the eyes of men. But how does it
now appear with what seemed to be the
promise of its earlier years? Is there any
falling off, in the marks of the supernatural,
as then exhibited?
The opening act in this new era is his baptism.
Here, again, the supernatural and extraordinary
begin to assert themselves as at
the beginning. Great numbers had flocked
to John's baptism from every part of the
land. But this one was distinguished from
them all. To say nothing of the hesitancy
with which John approached its administration
: "I have need to be baptized of thee,
and comest thou tome," there was a marked
honor put upon it, by its extraordinary accompaniments.
For "Jesus when he was
baptized went up straightway out of the
water, and, lo, the heavens were opened
unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending
like a dove and lighting upon him.
And, lo, a voice from heaven, saving this is
my beloved son in whom I am well pleased."
There have been many baptisms in the
world?both before ana since. Many, too,
to which the heavens have given a very
high attestation. But never since the world
began has there been a baptism to which
the heavens have given such a high, open,
unmistakable attestation as they have given
to this one. And now, that the veil has
been lifted, miracle after miracle follow each
other in quick succession?all attesting in
strongest terms the supernatural character
of their author ; sight to the blind, hearing
to the deaf, completeness of members to the
maimed, and life to the dead. These miracles,
too, he performed as none other had
ever done?in his own name and by his own
authority: "Arise, take up thy bed and
walk." "I will, be thou clean." "Lazarus,
come forth." These were the self-reliant
terms in which he always spoke, in every
instance.
But the supernatural character of Christ is
especially manifest in the clear, open, unequivocal
intercourse he maintained with
Heaven during all the days of his personal
ministry on earth. We have it in his baptism,
wnen "a voice from heaven said this
is my beloved son in whom I am well
pleased." We have it on the Mount of
Transfiguration, when a voice from that excellent
glory said, "this is my beloved son
in whom I am well pleased, hear ye him."
We have it again, wnen a dafk cloud, indicative
of his approaching end, having flitted
over his mind, he cried out, "Father, glorify
thy name." and a voice from heaven responded,
"I have glorified it, and will glorify
it again." Could anything be plainer
than that his intercourse with Heaven was
full, free, and uninterrupted, whenever occasion
requires it. As he looked up through
the "opened heavens" into his Father's face
and held converse with him, as a loving and
obedient son, so his Father looked down
upon him with unutterable satisfaction as
"his servant, whom he had chosen, his elect
in whom his soul delighted."
But if the evidence of his supernatural
character and intercourse was conspicuous
all through his public life, it become doubly
so as this life drew near its close. Amid his
great agony in the garden, or immediately
preparatory to it, "there appeared an angel
unto him from heaven strengthening him."
But on the cross, not only did the Heavens
show their sympathy by casting over the
scene a veil of thick darkness, but Nature
by the general commotion that prevailed
gave evidence that she, too, was in sympathy
with the great sufferer. "The earth
quaked, the rocks rent, and the graves were
opened." Death has been at work in our
world from Adam until uow, but was there
ever such a scene occurred in connection
with any other death as this one? Was
there ever any approach to it in the accompanying
marks of the extraordinary and
supernatural?
But equally marked were the scenes which,
as described by the Evangelist, followed in
quick succession this memorable death.
The resurrection of the body on the third
day, as attested by the most undeniable evidence;
his appearance to his disciples for
fArt.ir flnrintr whieh lie snoke to them
iv" "J .7 v.- n .. .. ?I
of "the things pertaining to the kingdom of
God." His ascension to heaven, while they
beheld, until a cloud received him from
their sight.
If all this does not prove Christ to have
been an extraordinary, supernatural character?one
such as never before walked the
earth, breathed the air, or looked out upon
the light of day?it would be hard to say
what would prove it. Yes, we have in the
life of Christ, from first to last illuminated
as it is through and through with the concentrated
sunlight of heaven, a character
which for outward marks of greatness and
grandeur no natural born son of Adam ever
had or ever could have had. Then as we
look over his character?sinless from beginning
to end?we receive an answer that
ought to satisfy the most incredulous : That
this is he who should come, and in vain do
we look for another. That Jesus of Nazereth
is the promised Messiah, and that having
done his work on earth, He has gone
up into heaven to appear in the presence of
God for us, from whence he will come the
second time to receive us unto himself, that
where he is there we may be also.
What the Bijjle Does Not Say.?The
Bible is a book with a single purpose ; and
that purpose is to reveal the sinfulness of
the human family, and a method of salvation
from that sinfulness. And, of course, a
book that has only one end in view must
necessarily be silent with reference to a
thousand other subjects. Two years ago, a
man wasgalloping on horseback, as if he had
seen a spectre, down at the bank of a New
England river in the dead of night. His
mission was to inform the sleeping dwellers
in a number of manufacturing towns farther
down the stream that the great dam farther
up the river was about to burst its barriers.
The horseman, as he. sped along, trampled
myriads of flowers under foot, but he had
nothing to say of botany. He rushed by
hundreds of projecting rocks, rich in stories
of prehistoric ages, but he had nothing to
-r /
say on uie suuject ?>i . */>?.-! m.->
head the starry hosts were marshalled as
they had been since the foundation of the
world, but he had nothing to say on the subject
of astronomy. He had just one mission?to
inform the sleeping toilers of their
danger, and how they might escape it, and
he had no time to devote to the consideration
of any other subject, however important,
or however fascinating to other minds.
So it is with God's word. Its single object
is to tell us of sin and its cure. On this subject
it is full and explicit and infallible.
8aTln avoiding idle words, our Saviour
does not mean that we shall always talk
about religion, but that our motive in all
we say shall be to use the wonderous faculty
of Vocal expression which he has given
us for his glory. He did not mean that we
should be gloomy, reserved, uncommunicative.
afraid to open our lips lest we should
say something wrong, but that the intention
of our lives should be by our words to please
him and advance his kingdom.
There is no greater mistake than to
suppose that Christians can impress the
world by agreeing with it. No; it is not
conformity that we want; it is not being
able to beat the world in its own way; but
it is to stand apart and above it, and produce
the impressions of a holy and separate
life. This only can give us a true Christian
power.
B&F The best receipt for going through life
in an exquisite way, with beautiful manner,
is to feel that everybody, no matter how
rich orhow poor, need all the kindness they
can get from others in fhe world.

waste, destitute of everything that might
tend to make it even a grazing land. But

manufacturing country. 1 c

It certainly is one of the prettiest cities in
the South. Its historical points of interest j
are that Confederate money was manufae-1

completely destroyed by fire just at the close
of the war. J ts situation is very picturesque ,
and many of the views in expressibly beau- !
tiful and romantic. Its State House, de- j
signed to be one of the handsomest struct- j
ures in the country, was begun just before j
the war. It never was finished. The walls
only were built; and to-day on the green F
sward around the building are immense
granite blocks lying exactly where they
were dropped by the workmen twentythree
years ago. * ()n the east side of the
building, near one of the second story windows
is the rusty mark of a three-inch
solid shot, fired by Sherman's troops before
they entered the city in April, 1865.
One corner of an immense column was carried
away by another bolt, and the fluting
of a Corinthian column was badly battered
by a third shot. These marks to day only ! '

ian contempt and bring to his tongue only v
sarcasm.
The city is the great cotton center of the ?
State. Here it Is that this profitable product
is brought to be shipped over the South
Carolina Railroad to Charleston, and over
the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta ltailroad
and the Richmond and Danville to the
North and East. The greater part of this
cotton is brought in over the Columbia and
Greenville Railroad. From the counties of
Newberry, Laurens, Union, Spartanburg,
Anderson, Greenville and Abbeville over
103,000 bales were brought lrom September
1, 1882, to April 1, 1883, yielding to those
counties over $8,000,000 in cash. Last year
in the same period only 117,000 bales were
moved, and many of the farmers in these
counties were forced to import their own
wheat and corn. This year they have been r
enabled to export wheat and other cereals.
New factories and mills are in process of 1
erection all over the State. In this city a
movement is on foot to develop the water (
power with a view of having it surpass
Augusta's. There is no reason why the experiment
cannot be made thouroughly successful.
And the improved facilities will be (
equal to at least 30,000 horse power. >
Large and new cotton factories have been ?
built at Piedmont, Newberry and Spartan- c
burg on the line of the Columbia and Green- x
ville Railroad. While the smaller class at
the small towns are simply legion. The
factory at Piedmont started in with abor- c
rowed capital of $250,000. The concern hung
by its finger nails for many months. At the
end of two years the company returned
the $250,000. To-day its capital is $500,000,
and it pays 12 per cent, dividends. This is
but one instance of the many recent successful
business ventures made in the State.?

This cylinder revolves on an upright axis in
another large cylindrical vessel. Whirled
then with an enormous number of revolutions
a minute, the liquid is thrown out,
leaving the sugar crystals dry, and doing in
a few minutes, and far more effectively, the
work of weeks by the muscovado method.
The crystals left behind vary in size from a
mere speck to a small pea. This crude sugar
has a burnt brown tint, and tastes much ?
like the rock candy of the confectioner. The
scum that rises during the various boilings,
the refuse juice and fermented molasses is
treated by distillation to make rum.
The Teachers that Teach in Illinois.?It
is by some persons considered an
open question whether education educates, j
There is 110 question that educational machinery,
properly lubricated with cash,
moves smoothly, taking in at one end of its 1
curriculum thousands of bright-eyed ur- A
chins, and turning them out duly at the other
after five or six years with more or less 1
of knowledge. But the machine seems to
be out of gear in Illinois, and the urchins
will have a poor show, as the following answers
given at an examination by several
teachers in Adams county, Illinois, holding
first grade certificates, would indicate:
One named as three living American poets?Shakspeare,
Byron and Longfellow.
One teacher thought Shakspeare was dead;
thought he died in Indiana about twenty
years ago.
Another said "Pilgrim's Progress" was
written by Longfellow.
Another said "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was
written, by Byron.
Another thought a bicycle was a musical
instrument.
Another did not know what a telephone
was.
Another did not know that Congress was
in seasion the past Winter.
Another thought that Frelinghuysen was
a machine.
Several had not heard of the Vienna or
United States floods, or of the star route
trial. Most of them are men teachers, and
these are only part of the answers.

History of the Associate Reformed Synod
of the South.
TN the above Work, I endeavored to give a concise
and accurate history of the causes which
led to the secession of 1733, under the Erskines,
together with a full and detailed account of the
organization of the old Associate Reformed Synod,
the General Synod, and the parties entering
into the organizations. The history of the Associate
Reformed Church in the South is traced
from its beginning through the Presbytery of the
f Carolines and Georgia, the Synod of "the Caroli*
nas and the Synod of the South, down to the
present time. In addition tc this, a brief history
is given of the Reformed Presbyterian and
ij'nited Presbyterian Churches.
The Work is printed on good clear type, on
good heavy paper, is bound in cloth, and contains
four hundred and eighteen pages. It'will be sold
at ?2.23, either at mv office, or delivered by mail.
