Bringing Him to Taw.?Two men were
standing at the gate of a country farm yard
whittling sticks and giving each other dots
about managing women. "Talk sassy to
'em," the man on the outside of the fence
said, "an' ye'll see how they'll be foch
down."
Just then the cabin door opened, and a
redheaded, long necked woman yelled:
"Say, Zeke, ther flour's out!"
"Out whar?" he yelled back.
"Outen the bar'l," she answered.
"Wall, put it back an' cover it up tight,"
he replied, while the outside man grinned.
"Don't you see how she's hacked a'
ready?" he laughed, when the fiery top
knot disappeared.
"I does," spoke the elated victor. Presently
the same shrill voice cried:
"Zeke, I's guine over to mar's, an' ef ye

"Melindy," he gasped, looking in vain for
some place to dodge.
"Zeke," she continued, ther flour's out."
"All rite I'm off ter the mill at once," he
answered shiveringly.
"Zeke, I'm guine over to mar's fer a spell,

"No, Melindy, seed pap ter day, an' he

Six Times an Orphan.?"You see," said
the boy between his sobs, "we were all Mormons
livingdown in Southern Utah, where
dad was a Bishop, and of course had five
wives. Well, each one of them had a boy
baby about the same age, and they were all
named Brigham"?
"Isn't it strange to name them all alike?"
"They always name the first one Brigham,
if it is a boy, and," said he, "when
we were about four years old dad used to
drive the little flock jof Brighamsdown to
the farm and make lis weed cpifots. The
farm was two mil? from J^wn, and one
day when we werepll aloae* band of Indians

us away down ifcto^rizona. The other
boys got sick anfl an died, but they kept
me with them wsfyears before I could escape,
which IVmally did, and got back
home. Well, when I got back I didn't
know my mother or even her number and
she didn't know me, and they all claimed
me as their little lost Brigham. So they
had to draw cuts to see which one would
have me; and I was her's till she died?
then the next, and so on. My first mother
died a year after I got home; then I became
the son of mother number two. She apostatized,
and ran away and married a Gentile,
and got killed in a railroad collision.
I lived with this mother a year and a half.

A Mistake was Made?A young lady
gave "her young man" a beautifully worked
pair of slippers, and he acknowledged
the present by sending her his picture, encased
in a handsome frame. He wrote a
note to send with it, and at the same time
replied angrily to an of-repeated dun for an
unpaid suit of clothes. He gave a boy ten
cents to deliver the package and notes, giving
explicit directions as to the destination
of each. _y?

It never amounted to much, anyway.

And the tailor was struck utterly dumb
when he opened a parcel and discovered
the picture of his delinquent customer, and
a note that said :
"When you gaze upon the features, think

A Very Sensitive Business Man.?
During the cloth-house and wholesale clothing
house failure of September, a retail
dealer in Cleveland shut up shop and announced
his failure, with an offer to pay
ten cents on the dollar.
"See here, Jake," said an acquaintance,
"there are some ugly reports about your
failure."
"Ish dot bossible?"
"Did any of those New York houses owe
you?"
"Oh. no!"
"Dia you owe any of them?"
"Not a cent."
"Well, why should their misfortune affect
you? You don't fail every time an Eastern
house goes under do you?"
"Mr. Smichdt, you doan' understand der

CARP CULTURE.
Editor of the Enquirer: For the benefit
of those engaged in the cultivation of
carp, I will give my experience with these
fish. I have been engaged in the cultivation
of fish for six years, beginning with
the perch, when my attention was drawn
to the carp. I procured twenty and placed
them in a pona, in January, 1880. These
young fish averaged about three inches in
length.' On the 9th of July following, I
drained my pond, taking from it the fish,
which had grown to a length of from ten to
sixteen inches. In March, 1883, they commenced
spawning, once a week for three
weeks. Again in September I drained my
Eond and found about six hundred young
sh from three to nine inches in length.
These I placed in a pond of the dimensions
of one acre. The fish are now from nine to
fourteen inches in length.
The only trouble I nave in raising these
fish successfully, is that of keeping other
species of fish out of my ponds, which is
one of the most important essentials in the
enppAscfiii hrpprline-of cam. and everv means
should be provided, by screening, or otherwise,
to prevent other varieties from entering
into ponds.
Carp will spawn at two years of age. In
large ponds, where there is plenty of natural
food, feeding will not be necessary. It
is claimed that six hundred carp will stock
one acre, and thrive without artificial feeding.
If more than this number are in a
one-acre pond they should be fed. A pond
of smaller size than one acre I consider
worthless. A one-acre pond properly cared
for will furnish one family of ordinary size
with all the fish they will require for food,
but to do this, of course the pond must contain
more than they would consume.
My fish commenced to spawn on the 20th
of last month. The eggs hatched in eight
days after they were deposited. I now have
thousands of young fish. The young fish
begin to take food in from four to five days
after they are hatched. The necessity,
therefore, of an abundance of aquatic plants,
especially in the hatching ponds, will be
apparent, since they serve the double purpose
of supplying food for the fish, and a
natural place of deposit for the eggs.
Small ponds will not serve for growing
'^ fioK o??A it fo/1 orfifi.
l?Up, t:veil 11 tue 11SI1 ate icguianj' ivuiuuu
cially. Too many fish in the pond will
keep the water constantly muddy, which
will render the fish unfit for food, especially
in the summer months. The carp is a
large-growing fish, and requires plenty of
water and food. John F. Hinson.
Guthriesville, S. C.
Nutriment in Grain and Hay.?Corn
is a fat-producing food. Its fat-giving elements
predominate so largely that it is not
fitted for constant feeding, except to lay on
fat at the cost of suffering loss to the general
animal system. It is hardly worth while
to take it into consideration as a nutritious
food, and it is wholly unfit to feed exclusively
or in any great quantity to colts. It is
in no sense what the developing system of a
young animal needs. The value of a food
for this class of animals, and for animals
that are heavily worked, is in the proteine
they contain, and common corn contains
only from 8 to 14 per cent, of that. In a
thousand pounds, therefore, corn may be
fairly considered as possessing a hundred
pounds of nutriment. Of course we cannot
wholly throw away the other elements
as being useless, but they are so subordinate
to the one named in point of nutrition
that, in noticing a subject like the one under
consideration, it is not worth while to attempt
to determine their value. Oats will
average larger in proteine than corn will,
and are a pre-eminently nutritious food, as
every one of experience knows. They
vary much in the proportions of the elements,
but an average lot of oats is worth
double for feed of horses and colts what
corn is, and that is stating it quite mildly.
Timothy averages about 6 percent, of proteine,
but is valuable also as furnishing
bulk, the value of which cannot be accurately
estimated.? Western Rural.
Pulverization of the Soil.?The following
experiment made by the editor of
the Live Stock Journal shows the great importance
of the thorough pulverization of
the soil: "We once experimented by hauling
twenty-four large loads of the best manure
upon two acres of clay-loam laud, had
it well cultivated into the soil, which had
been worked in the ordinary way, but was
somewhat lumpy. This and the adjoining
two acres were to be sown in corn for fodder.
Upon the other two acres no manure
was put, but it was plowed and cultivated
till the soil, four inches deep, was as fine as
a garden bed. One and a half bushels of
corn were drilled per acre upon each place,
drills ifi inches aoart. When the corn was
in blossom and ready to cut, the unmanured
two acres stood eighteen inches higher
than the manured piece. On selecting two
sample rods in different places upon each
place, cutting the green corn and carefully
weighing it, the manured piece gave but
275 pounds per rod, and the unmanured
but finely pulverized, gave 350 pounds per
rod?the manured giving twenty-two tons
per acre and the other twenty-eight tons per
acre. Could there be any doubt that the
extra labor was well paid for? It must be
evident to every thoughtful farmer that the
first thing to be done in furnishing food for
crops is to work more thoroughly and give
finer pulverization, and when this is accomplished
then an application of some
fertilizer."
Lights in the Barn.?It is estimated
that nine-tenths of all fires are caused by
carelessness. Now is the season when the
lantern is frequently used in the barn, and
we give a word of caution. Never light a
lamp or lantern of any kind in the Darn.
Smokers may include their pipes and cigars
in the above. The lantern should be lighted
in the house or some out building where
no combustibles are stored. A lantern
which does not burn well, should never be
put in order in the hay mow. There is a
great temptation to strike a match and relight
an extinguished lantern, wherever it
may be. It is best to even feel one's way
out to a saie place, man 10 run uuy uskh.
If the light is not kept in the hand, it
should be hung up. Provide hooks in the
various rooms where the lights are used.
A wire running the whole length of the
horse stable, at the rear of the stalls, and
furnished with a sliding hook, is very convenient
for night work with the horses.
Some farmers are so careless, as to keep the
lamp oil in the barn, and fill the lantern
there while the wick is burning. Such risks
are too great, even if the buildings are insured.?American
Agriculturist.
SS?* The symptons of colic, one of the most
fatal diseases to a horse, are readily detected.
The horse invariably scrapes with his fore
feet, kicks at the stomach and shifts about,
turns around, smells the floor, lies down,
rolls, remaining for a time on his back and
breathing heavily throughout. At a recent
meeting of the London Parmer's Club, a relief
and cure was presented by a gentleman
who had been all his life among horses.
When the horse shows symptoms of an attack
of colic, apply at once a horse cloth or
woolen rug, wrung out of boiling water, to
the stomach and to the sides, and cover
with another couple of cloths to retain the
heat. As they cool, renew the cloths as often
as needed. A large bran poultice, as hot
no r?nn hp hnrne. is eauallv effective and re
tains the heat longer.
Such is Life.?Farmer Piatt says: "If
for 60 years a man will work from before
daylight until after night; work in all seasons
like a mule, making himself, in addition,
a hard task-maker to his family, eating
what he can't sell, and wearing next to
nothing, he will, before he dies, be able to
build a barn at a cost of say, $800, and a
frame house at twice that amount."
iSF Gov. Hagood, speaking of his experience
in raising grasses and cattle on his
farm on the Saluda River, thinks that Bermuda
Grass combined with Red clover is
the best for hay, making from two to two
and one-half tons of merchantable hay to the
acre. He has been very successful in that
as well as raising fine cattle and sheep.
Hickory and cherry require a growth
of thirty years before they are valuable for
timber, maple twenty years, and beeches
fifteen years. Black walnut will produce a
trunk fourteen inches in diameter in as
many years from the seed.

FAITH.
Great importance is, in the Scriptures, attached
to faith. This every Bible reader
will readily admit. Such expressions as
"without faith it is impossible to please
God," and "the just shall live by faith," are
of very frequent occurrence in the Scriptures.
In fact, the conclusion to which we
are forced to come is that the Bible teaches
that those who have faith are safe, and those
who have not faith are in a state of condemnation,
which must end in hopeless
ruin, unless they in some way obtain it.
Such being the case, it is incumbent on every
human being to meditate frequently and
seriously on this subject. We should ask
ourselves the questions, What is faith, and
have we it ? In attempting to answer these
questions the Bible should be our guide.
We should search it for a definition of faith,
and for a description of those persons who
nave iaun.
The word faith is derived from the Latin
word fdo, that is derived from the Greek
word peitho. The primitive meaning of the
Greek word peitho is to persuade. In the
passive and middle voices it means to obey.
This seems to be the leading idea which is
attached to it in the Scriptures. Faith and
obedience are not the same thing, but they
are inseparably connected. Where faith is
there is also obedience and there can b > no
obedience without faith. Faith and belief
have nearly the,same meaning, but faith is
more comprehensive, including some things
which are not contained in belief. The following
is a very comprehensive and strictly
Scriptural definition, (so far as a definition
is possible) of faith. "Faith in JesusChrist
is a saving grace, whereby we receive and
rest upon him alone for salvation, as he is
offered to us in the gospel." The definition
of faith given in this quotation is that "It is
a saving grace." This, however, does not
distinguish it iroin repentance unto me.
Repentance unto life is a saving grace, but
it differs from faith in that in repentance
the sinner turns from his sins unto God, and
in faith the sinner receives Christ and rests
upon him and upon him alone for salvation,
and in accordance with the plan revealed in
the Scriptures.
In faith, according to the accepted use of
the word, two things are included. The
grace itself bestowed by God and the exercise
of the grace by those upon whom it is
bestowed. The word grace, literally, means
a gift. In its wide and unlimited sense, it
includes everything of every kind and character,
which God gives us. In its restricted
sense, it denotes those spiritual gifts which
God, in Christ Jesus bestows. There are a
variety of graces but God is the author of
them all. From him cometh down every
good and perfect gift. That particular gift
of God, wnich is called faith, is the power
to believe God, and the power to believe in
Jesus Christ for salvation, as he offers it to
us in the gospel.
By the fall man lost confidence in God,
and sin blotted out from the mind a correct
knowledge of God. When God bestows the
grace of faith he reveals himself by his
word and spirit, to those upon whom he bestows
the gift. It would be Scriptural to
say that the power to believe is a pari; of
what is produced in the soul at the new
birth or in regeneration. The soul dead in
tresspasses and sins cannot believe. It is incapable
of exercising faith. The capability
to believe God and receive and rest upon
Jesus Christ for salvation as he is offered in
the gospel is a part of the change produced
in the soul by the Holy Spirit in regeneration.
So far as faith is regarded as a grace, i t is
wholly of God. No one denies that regeneration
is absolutely a work of the Holy
Spirit. If the whole be the work of the
Holy Spirit, all the parts which make up the
whole must be the work of the Holy Spirit.
By his spirit God creates us anew in Christ
Jesus.
So far as the exercise of faith isconcerned,
or so far as the actual receivingand resting
upon Jesus Christ for salvation is concerned,
it is a work of the individual. God bestows
upon us eyes and ears, or he gives us the capability
to see and to hear, but the act of s?emg
and hearing belongs to the individual
who possesses the eyes and ears.
Faith, like some other graces, grows and
develops. The principle of faith like the
principle of life, undergoes no change but
that of development. It must be remembered
that faitn, like everything else, has its
laws of development. Under some circumstances
it grows, but under other circumstances
it does not grow. Exercise is absolutely
necessary to physical development. The
muscles of the right arm of the blacksmith
grow and become strong, to a degree that is
not attained by the muscles of tne arms of
those who are notsimilarly situated with the
blacksmith. So it is with faith. The more
constant1-" it is used the stronger it becomes.
Theg. jwth of faith is dependent mainly
upon the increase of knowledge. Faith
cometh, we are told, by hearing, and hearing
by the word of God. We cannot come to
God, that is we cannot believe in him or trust
on him unless we know that he is and what
he is. These facts we cannot learn but from
the Bible and the enlightening influences of
the Holy Spirit.
Even in the producing of faith in the soul
God uses means. It is not done by miracle.
Where there is no vision the people peris.n,
and wherever there is vision some people
are saved.
The fact that we use the means of divine
appointment for the development of faith is
good and satisfactory evidence that we have
faith. On the contrary, if we despise the
means which God has appointed for the
growth of faith, we may safely conclude
that we have no faith.
BSrThe influence of the gospel upon society
is rarely taken into consideration when
the blessings of the religion of the Bible
are enumerated. Few persons seem to be
aware of the fact that where there is no
preached gospel there is no society that is
congenial to a decent man. The greatest
of the heathen philosophers were grossly
bestial.
fiST Whenever the manners and customs of
a community sanction the reducing of woman
to that of an ordinary field nand, it
may be safely concluded that there is little
refinement and far less religion in that community.
The gospel of Jesus Christ never
yet failed to free woman from the yoke of
bondage.

only a few individuals of the great multitude,
who are, in some sense, anxious to be
wise, learn the first lesson. They skip thi s,
and turn over to the middle of the book,
and live as David said Abner died?fools.
S&- Those individuals who live only for
themselves, have a hard time in this world,
and their prospects for the world to come are
far from being bright. They enjoy none of
the luxuries which this earth produces, and
but few of its comforts. They spend their

are their griefs and fears; they cannot utter

CANCER.
The development of the treatment of Cancer
with Swift's Specific seem so wonderful, that all
so afflicted should write us.
CAYCER for 14 YEARS.
Spartanburg, S. C., March 14, 1884.
I have for 14 years been a sufferer from a running
sore on my face that everybody called a
Cancer. I have used over $.100 worth of medicine
and found no relief. About four months
ago I bought one bottle of Swift's Specific from
Dr. H. E. Heinitsh, and since have bought five
others, have taken it, and they have cured me
sound and well 1 My lace is as tree from a sore as
anybody's, and my health is perfectly restored.
I feel like forty vears had been lifted oft' my head.
Yours thankfully, ELIZA TINSLEY.
Mr. B. F. Burns, Hope, Ark., says, under date
of Jan. 22, 1884: "I have taken five bottles ot
Swift's Specific for a sore on my temple?said to
be a cancel*. I have been wonderfully benefitted
ind will soon be a well man."
Mr. W. R. Robison, Davisboro, Ga., writes,
under date of Jan. 3,1884: "I am getting on finely,
the ulcer is gradually healing. I feel that
Swift's Specific will cure the horrible cancer
which has been feeding on me for over 20 years."
Mr. W. H. Gilbert, Albany, Ga., says:
"A gentleman named Moore, near this city, had
in eating cancer on his tace, which had eaten
iway his nose and his under lip, and had extend- ^
ed up until it had nearly reached his eve. The
cancer was eating his guins and bad rendered his
teeth so loose that he thought they might at any
time drop out. He has been taking Swift's Spkcific
about three months, and its effect has been
wonderful. It has driven the poison from his
system, the cancer has healed greatly, his teeth
have become strong again, and ne thinks he has
been rescued from an awful death. lie is the
most enthusiastic man I ever saw."
