You are about 20 when you begin looking over the jewelers' advertisements and find yourself wondering if she will be pleased with -what you save and pinch to get. At length you have bought it. Then comes the eventful evening; you stroll down the street feeling your importance at every step; with thumping heart you pass into your love's sweet presence ; there she sits expectant; before you know anything about it her hand is in yours. Over her taper fingers the jeweled band is slipped, but what follows you remember so well it need not be recalled. Hank Halliard was born and reared away down in the Ozark region of Christian county, Mo., almost within gun shot of the famous Bald Knobbers of South Missouri. He had never been out of the oounty, much less out of the State, and his ideas of engagement rings were limited. When pretty Sallie Diggs?pretty in spite of her length, shambling walk and freck les?insisted upon a ring before she would consider the engagement binding, Hank was nonplussed. He expostulated without avail, scratched his head, thought a long while, and finally went away. He came the next afternoon, his face wreathed in smiles. "I've got her," he exclaimed, and reaching in his pocket he drew out a great ring of brass. Salliesiniled and reached out her hand. Hank slipped the ring over the girls largest finger, ana leaning near the simple maiden whispered: "Now, Sal, are ye satisfied that weuns is ingaged ?" "Yes, Hank," Sal, whispered, shaking the ring round on her finger; "but say Hank, whar did ye git it?" "Ye won't tell?" "Nope." "Hones' ?" ^"Hones', Hank." ~"Ef ye must know, I cut it outen dad's Sunday galluses." Sal slipped over into Hank's arms, and , as their freckled, sunburned cheeks touched, the girl whispered: "Say, Hank, ain't ye 'fraid yer dad'll lick ye when he finds his galluses busted?" He Wanted a Monopoly of Grief. The colored people in a small town in Georgia had gathered at their church to rh61d funeral services over the remains of a woman who had died a couple of days before, and the ceremonies were about to begin, when the bereaved husband, who ..was a large, corpulent man, beckoned to one of the men standing in the vestibule to follow him to the horse shed in the rear of the church. When they arrived there the bereaved turned on him with: - "See heah, Moses, I wants an understandin' wid yo' befo' dis funeral goes any fhrder." "What is it, Julius?" asked the other. "Las' week, when we buried Henry Carter's wife, yo' was right at hand. Yo' crowded yo'self right up to de front. When de weepin' begun yo' set yo'self to work an' moaned an' took on until Henry hadn't no show 'tall. Some of de white folks reckoned yo' was de bereaved yo'self." "I dun couldn't help it, Julius." " Yo' couldn't r wen, now, let me give yo' a pinter. Lucinda was my wife and nobody else's. She libed wid me an' died .wid me, an' I'ze got to foot all de 'spenses. Now, den, when ae sadness begins I'ze No. 1 from start to finish. I'ze de bereaved, while yo' is only an outsider who feels sad 'cause I'ze left all alone in de world. If Jo' go to takin' on like yo' did last week, 'ze gwine terforgit my great loss jist long 'nuff to turn 'round an' gin yo' such a lift under the ear dat you'll reckon yo' is the subject of the funeral. Do yo' h'ar me, Moses ?" "I does." "Den cum along, an' recommember what I'ze been saying. Better take a seat in de back row an' hole yo'self down, for at the werry fust whoop of sorrow I'ze gwine ter light on yo' wid a fo'ce of fo'teen hoss t>ower."?[Chattanooga Times. Wasted Pity.?A traveler in a backwoods community, attracted by a noise in a cabin not far from the roadsiae, stopped, and, addressing a boy that sat on the fence, said: '.'You live about here, I suppose ?" "Yep, jest about." "Well, can you tell me what makes that peculiar noise up yonder in that cabin ?" "Yep, it's pap an' mam." "What are they doing?beating a carpet?" "Nop, beatin' one 'nuther." "You don't say so!" "Who said I didn't ?" "I mean is it possible ?" "That's whut it is." "What are they beating each other for ?" " 'Cause they are fightm'." "19 it possible that you sit here so complacently and see your father beat your mother ?" "I don't see him a-beatin' her." "Y?9, but you know that he is." "I know he's tryin' to. If you're here to pity mam, mister, you'd better ride on. Mam's the boss up thar, I'll tell you that. Hoi' on, did you hear that thuipp! Wall, that wuz dad a-comin' down on the {mnchin' flo'.

How the Horse Got His Drink.?A great many men who get their conveyances from the livery-stables become very good drivers without ever learning how to get the harness on or off a horse. A young man of this sort from the East, was driving out one day with the young lady to whom he was engaged, whose home was on an Illinois prairie, and who could on an emergency harness a horse as well as the most expert stable boy. In the course of the drive they came to a watering trough by the roadside, and the younglaay, with true humanity, the afternoon being warm, suggested that the horse have a drink, where1 upon her escort reined up to the trough accordingly. But the horse, being checked up, could not reach the water, and the lady again suggested that her companion get out and let tne animals head down, which he proceeded to do. He made a careful survey of the harness, considered the various straps that ran along the animal's back from his head to his tail, and after due thought reached a philosophical and ultimate conclusion, and proceeded to unbuckle the crupper. The horse got his drink, but the country girl, who sat in the phseton and watched the operation, was so nearly convulsed with ill-concealed merriment as to be wholly unfit for ordinary conversation for the next-half hour. A Bashful Youth.?"You think you need a wife, young man, do you ?" said Mr. Kajones, as he looked at the agitated youth who was sitting on the edge of a chair and nervously twirling a hat, "and my daughter would fill the bill, would sner" "She would indeed, sir," replied the young man, with a ghastly attempt to appear at ease. "As the young men who start newspapers sometimes say in their prospectuses, she would fill a long went fault?I mean of course, a weng long felt? or rather, a long lent wait?no, a wrong font welt?indml she would, Mr. Kajones," persisted the bewildered youth, "though I should have said, of course, a feng?" "George," interposed Mr. Kajones, coming to his relief, "have you said anything to Laura yet ?" "No, sir; I thought I ought to speak to . you first." 3'Well, George," said the young lady's father, kindly, "take my advice?if you don't get that prospectus untangled before you see her again, you'd better send a more experienced canvasser." Bobtail Kept His Seat.?There lived in the Connecticut Valley half a century ago, a good and earnest, but very eccentric old Baptist preacher, who frequently surprised and scandalized his staid congregation by his unexpected sayings and doings. He was greatly annoyed one Sunday by some one rising and going out during the service, which was regarded as a great breach of good manners in those days. Presently a second offender walked out. Then Father M. grunted out a little "Humph !" and followed it up by saying, "Well, Rag has gone out, and Tag has gone out, and I reckon Bobtail will be the next!" It is hardly necessary to add that no one left thfe church until the services were ended. A Good Little Boy.?"Pa, you wouldn't care if I gave a cripple part of the dollar you sent me out to change ?"

I am pleased to be so highly complimented, for political politics well followed is tilled with reefs, disappointment and ruin. Not so with manure. The more we talk of it the more we think of it; and the more we think of it the mor( interest we take in it; and the more inter est we take in it the more we will try t( accumulate and save; and the more we have the better crops we raise; and the easier and better times we have. Many farmers run wild over politics and neglect their farms; the heading of this article never enters their minds, their farms are failing, and almost yearly the judgment is ! passed on some poor field, "depart ye unprofitable servant." One of the main reasons why farming does not pay is the neglect of making, saving and applying manure. The first thing the farmer wants after rising in the morning is something to eat,and he would do but little through the day without food. Just so with your soil, it must be fed before it should be expected to perform its labors of supporting a crop. The farmer forces his land to grow crops year aner year i without food, and- then complains that it i does not produce enough to pay for the I cultivation. The farmer must remember that for continuous successful farming the manure crop is the most important that the farmer produces, and should have the | most care and prompt attention. But instead, none is no needlessly neglected and wasted. In fact the great majority ol farmers do not consider the manure pile as a crop. It is only the incidental by product left from the result of farm operations, and they are entitled to great credit if they make profitable use of it. But it is a crop susceptible of being worked and will grow both in bulk and quality, according to the degree of labor and care bestowed upon it. In a general way farmers understand that a considerable part of the value of what they feed to stock goes to the manure heap, but neither the importance of judiciousfeeding or good bedding, nor their means, are appreciated as they should be. It requires study to learn how to make a valuable manure profitable. High feeding will not always do it, neither will keeping a large amount of stock do it. In making manure profitable, keep no more stock on the farm than is- neeaed to work it, and young stock that yearly increases in value. These can be fed such food as will supply all their need and return to the soil a manure richer in plant food than the crop just taken off. ' Bedding of this stock is more essential in making rich manure, as well as increasing the bulk, than many might suppose, for the liquid is the most valuable. Not only is it richer in plant food but the plant food is most available for crops. But notwithstanding this, very few provide any bedding at all, while still fewer use the best. Breitenlohnaer found that 1,000 of bedding absorbed the following weight of liquidl: Good straw, 3,000 pounds; sawdust 3,571; leaf-rakings, 4,330; and peat, 4,483. From this it seems that leaves are next to the most valuable material that can be had for bedding. Not only do leaves make a better biding but have a great manurial value in themselves. Nearly every man has some woodland attached, and in that woodland annually goes to waste forest leaves that could and should be utilized as fertilizing matter and for bedding. The off days and part of days when there is not much else to do can be profitably employed in gathering up the leaves and hauling them to the bam where they can be used as bedding for the horses, cattle and pigs, as well as spread thickly in the barnyard to absorb tne liquid portions of the manure which would otherwise be wasted by evaporation and drainage. This bedding should be removed to a good place and formed into a compost, and other fresh clean bedding put in its place. This should be done at least twice through the winter, when cattle lie out on the yard.?[Thos. D. Baird in Southern Cultivator. ? To Restore the Freshness of Worn Clothing.?The mystery to many people how the scourers of old clothes can make them almost as good as new is explained in The American Analyst as follows: "Take, for instance, a shiny old coat, vest, or pair of pants of broadcloth, cassimere, <lio?Anol TIiq ooAni-or inolfou a olrnnor VI UlO^ViiUI* XIIV OWUlVI uiunw ? warm soapsuds, and plunges the garment into it, souses it up and down, rubs the dirty places, if necessary, puts it through a second suds, then rinses it through several waters and hangs it to dry on the line. When nearly dry, he takes it in, rolls it up for an hour or two and then presses it. An old cotton cloth is laid on the outside of the coat, and the iron passed over that until the wrinkles are out; but the iron is removed before the steam ceases to rise from the goods, else they would be shiny. Wrinkles that axe obstinate are removed by laying a wet cloth over them and passing the iron over that. If any shiny places are seen they are treated as the wrinkles are; the iron is lifted while the full cloud of steam rises and brings the nap up with it. Cloth should always have a suds made especially for it, as, if that which has been used for white cotton or woolen clothes, lint will be left in the water and cling to the cloth. In this manner we have known the same coat and pantaloons to be renewed time and again, and have all the look and feel of new garments. Good broadcloth and its fellow cloths will bear many washings and look better every time because of it.?[Scientific American. Feeding Places.?It is always necessary to save waste as much as possible, and in feeding stock one important item in doing this is to provide feeaing places where the waste will be as small as possible. This applies not only to grain, but to hay, straw or fodder. Good mangers, with feeding boxes for grain, should always be provided in the stables or sheds, and if stock are to be fed more or less outside, as is sometimes done, troughs should be provided. It is waste to feed stock of any kind on the ground. For fodder or hay, good racks or mangers should be provided in a lot large enough to give the stock plenty of room, and if there are a number of ani mals it will be better to divide them and have two or more lota. Mangers can be built up along the fence, if desired, where the stock are numerous. But with a smaller number one of the best plans is to build the rack in the middle of tne yard so that all the stock can get at it, and from all sides. This lessens the risk of their hurting one another, as they sometimes do when they can crowd into a corner.?[St. Louis Republic. ? ? ? The Gakket.?The garret should be overhauled. A defective hue and easilycombustible stutf in the garret are responsible for many a conflagration. The garret is such a convenient receptacle for articles for which there may be possible use in the future, but which must be stored out of sight, that every year it will be filled with stuff that ought to be burned, but not with the house. Now, when the season of winter fire is near at hand, clean out all articles in the garret not clearly needed. In case of doubt, give the garret the benefit ol it, and remove the article. Set easilyignited things as far from the flues as possible, and when this is done, examine the flues and remedy all defects. By beginning at once to handle colts properly they will soon learn to regard the approach of man no more than that ol another horse or colt. Colts resemble children in the respect that they are fond ol being petted, and are very susceptible to kind treatment. Even the most timid ol them will soon lose their fear if treated in the proper way. Many promising young colts have been ruined by being teased' As a result of teasing he becomes vicious and treacherous at times. It depends altogether on the kind of treatment a coll gets whether it will make a kind and gentle or a vicious and treacherous horse. tST As to the wounds made on trees al the time of pruning or at any other time grafting-wax, hot tar, rosin, shellac varnish, are all efficacious, but no more so thai common paint?which is far more convenient and much cheajier.

Ruin to a Rig Industry.?-The cora?ound InrU bill now pending before the Juited States senate will practically wipe the cottou seed oil industry of the South out of existence. At the present time the bill has wrought almost irreparable injury, and if it becomes a law the worst results may be looked for. The Conger bill places the manufacture and sale of compound lard under the espionage of the revenue department and imposes a tax on the product. Cotton seed oil enters largely into the manufacture of compound lard, and the tax imposed will in reality be a tax of five ceutson every gallon of oil. This a. ? l i i .i i r puis cumpounu laru uuuer a imn 01 bus- i picioD, and it goes to the public as a branded article subject to all that that implies. This action has virtually deprived the cotton seed oil men of the'lard made, and has cut off three-fourths of the consumption of oil. They are accordingly driven to the export and soap markets to dispose of their product, and in these markets the oil is only taken in competition with other greases. In the Memphis Merchants' Exchange a few days ago cotton seed was quoted at from $4 to $7 per ton. Before the bill passed the house prices ranged from $4 to $6 per ton higher. On the present basi3 the planters in the Memphis cotton district alone will receive $1,000,000 less for this year's product than they did for that of last year, with the prospects of a much heavier loss if the lard bill becomes a law. Owiug to this pending legislation, there is actually no market to-day for cotton seed oil. There are about 134,000 barrels in store from last year's crop, sufficient for the world's consumption for seventy days, and there it will have to stay until it is sold for grease or some market shows itself. This deprives the planter of a remunerative market for his product. Kansas Politics.?The Democratic and Resubmissionist parties of Kansas were in session at Wichita last week. The Resubmissionists compose a faction of the Republican party which opposes prohibition, favors high license, and is striving to obtain through the legislature a resubmission of the prohibitory amendment to a vote of the people. To attain these ends they formed a separate party, and fused with the Democrats. The two conveutions met at the same hour at different halls and adopted different platforms calling for the resubmission of the prohibition amendment, but adhering to party lines on other topics. The convention then proceeded to nominate a ticket. There were two candidates for governor?ex-Governor Charles Robinson, a resubmissionist, and ex-Governor Glick, a straighout Democrat, and theonly Democratic governor ever elected in the State. When the determination to fuse with the resubmissionists became evident Mr. Glick withdrew and Robinson was nominated by acclamation. The nominee was the first governor elected after the admission of Kansas. He was then elected as a Republican. In 1882 he ran for governor on the Greenback ticket, and recently was one of the leaders in the formation of the resubmission Republican party.

"Yes, sir, I will take a seat, as I am very tired, I feel as weak as a kitten. You don't seem to rocognizo me." "Why no, my friend, I do not." "Don't you remember talking to me one day last spring on the subject of life insurance, and how you urged mo to join the American Legion of Ilonpr ?" "Is this Joe ? ?" "Yes, sir. It is what is left of him." "Very well put. You do not look like the same man. What is the matter with you, Joe?" "I have been sick, vory sick. .1 am just recovering from a very severe attack of typhoid pneumonia. This is the lirst time I have been to Yorkville in three months, audi am thankful to be able to be here to-day." "I had not heard of your sickness. If you have lived through a siege of typhoid pneumonia you are to bo congratulated. Did you take out a policy in the Legion of Honor last spring?" "Yes, sir, and that is why I am hero to-day. I came to thank you for your kind advice, and counsol in urging me to join, for had I not joined men i wouiu not uh uiiignuu nuw, no tlie doctor explains that my lungs are affected and that I need not hope ever to bo strong again. Again, in behalf of my wifo and children, I thank you." "O, you need not worry about that. I am glad, however, that you joined, and am also glad that you have been able to pull through such a severe attack of illness. Tell me all about it. It seemed Htrange to be talking insurance to you at that time. You wore the picture of health and strength, and little did I think that you would need this pecuniary shield so soon." "Nor I. It is impossible to foresee these things. After I left you that day I concluded that I would look further into" the plan on which the Legion of Honor does business, and tho more I investigated the better I was pleased, and I concluded to apply for a $fi,000 policy. I stood the medical examination all right and was received ; the medical examiner said my certificate was as good, if not better, than that of any other member of our lodge. One Wednesday afternoon, about the middle of June, I came in from the field, suffering from a slight cold, and I thought I had more or less fever. I lay about the house awhile, when I concluded if I would stir about I would feel better. I had tho horse hitched to the buggy, drove to the postofllce and called for the mail. The postmaster brought out The Yorkvili.e Enquirer and a large, well-sealed envelope, which proved to be my benefit certificate in the American Legion of Honor. I drove home, meeting only one neighbor on the road, and after tho usual greetings, and expressing ourselves on the political situation, separated. I was feeling so bad that I did not care whether South Carolina had a governor or not. I got home all right though. I did not know what was the matter, and my wife sent for the doctor. He came and examined me and said that , he thought I had fever, but did not consider it , serious. He left some powders for me to take and said be would call again the next day, which ho did. The next day found me worse, and the fourth day the doctor told my wife that I had typhoid pneumonia. As soon as he left Mary told me what the doctor said. I tell you that it broke me all up, as my crop was needing my attention and I felt that I clid not have time to be sick, aud the more I thought about the matter the worse I got. I grow steadily worse, and finally the doctor began to look very anxious. I fretted about my crop for a ( while, and the neighbors learning that that was worrying ma, clubbed together and worked it out for me. After that was taken off my mind, I began to think about dying and leaving my family without a means of support. I was worried more about that than about my crop. Part of the time I was delirious, and . when I would become conscious I could see that tho doctor, my wife and the neighbors, were very uneasy about me. One day while brooding over the possibilty of dying and leav ing my family without support, I suddenly 1 thought of my ?5,0(X) policy in the Legion of Honor. I had not thought of it before. Idon't know why, but I hadn't. I tell you that was one of the happiest thoughts of my life. You can't imagine just how a fellow feels under the circumstances if you have never been there. A great burden was suddenly lifted. I thought of vou. and how earnestly you had talked when you urged me to take'out the policy. I told my wife all about it and asked her to come and sec you in case I did not get well, and thank you for urging and advising me to join the Legion of Honor. On the twenty-tirst day . I began to improve, and in due time I was able to get up, and I made up mind to come and see you and thank you for your kindness to me, for if it had not been for that insurance policy, which quieted my terrible anxiety about my wife and babies, I am sure I would have never gotten well." : "Joe, you had a closo call, and there are many others all over the country, I dare say, who have had just a similar experience. Relate your experience to your friends, and : keep it before them. Tell them that if the Legion of Honor is a humbug, it is only half price, and that no man or set of men more thoroughly appreciate it than the Kalamazoo company. You toll every one who you think < ought to have tirst-class life insurance to see Mr. A. VV. Ingold, Secretary of the American Legion of Honor, at Yorkvillo, S. C."

Right Now In tli< r|lIIKItK is no doubt of tbo fact that no farm- | JL ing implnment has ever been olTered to the 'arming world that has given such universal I satisfaction as the COKBIN DISK HAKKOVV. j it is used in every State and Territory and is heartily and enthusiastically endorsed by every farmer who has ever used it, and thoyaro nuni- ' bered by thousands. Practical farmers everv- I where agree that it is, WITHOUT KXCEt1- ) riON, the most profitable implement for cultivating the soil and putting in grain yet in- I vented. It increases the crops, saves time, and j laves labor. The Harrow is made of first-class material I hroughout, and with proper care will do good I work for fifteen or twentv years, and will pay for itself a dozen times over. The wheols or I lisks are made of the very best of steel, and j will neither break, bend or crumble. The lisks are not alfecled to any appreciable extent >y rocks and Lhe Harrow will do good work m all kinds of land. The following are some of the points of sunerioritv nossessed bv the Corbin Harrow: 1. It in thoonly Disk Harrow that is perfecty Hexihie (?. c. 0110 that will adapt itself to nn3ven surfaces). 2. It is the only Harrow in which the gangs ire independent of each other?either can tit or follow an inequality without disturbing the itlier. 3. Tt is the only Harrow having chilled boxes and anti-friction halls. 4. J t is ilie only Ilarrrow that has a success fill Seeder Attachment. 5. It is thoonly combined Harrow and Seed>r that covers every kernel of grain in rows like a drill. ti. The Corbin is nnequaled for lightness of Iraft and power as a pulverizer. rhe Harrow With Seeder Attachment. Every Corbin Harrow, whatever the size, is irranged so that a Seeder can bo attached to it. l'he Seed IIox and its machinery are of the most simple and compact character. All its metal parts are of malleable or retined wrought Iron. Its weight is (of the size to tit the No. 7 12-disk Harrow) about eighty pounds. The Seeder Attachment is removable at pleasure. It locks itself firmly to the Harrow frame by simply putting it into position. Neither bar, bolt, wedge, key, screw or pin, is used to fasten it. Therefore, no hammer, i wrench or other tool is required to attach or detach it. Haifa minute of time will remove and one minute replace it. The Harrow and Seeder combined cost about half as much as a Drill, and is a better tool. It will sow grain as evenly as any drill, cover it better, and place it at any depth in the ground. It is two complete implements in one. It prepares the fieln in the best possible manner for seeding and then sows the crop. It sows RED RUST-PROOF OATS capitally. WORDS OF PRAISES.

The only objection I have to the Corbin Harrow is that I have not owned one for tlio last twenty-live years. If I had owned one miring the time mentioned, I would have saved lots ^ of hard work and made better crops. Now that I have one I am delighted with it.?[K. N. Davidson, Lominack, York county, S. C. I have a Corbin Disk Harrow which I have been using for several years, and consider it the most valuable farming implement of which I have any knowledge. As a timo and money saver, aside from the superior quality of work it does, its value can hardly be estimated at the season at which the small grain is sown. ?[It. E. Guthrie, Guthriesville, 8. C. I consider myself incompent to do the implement justice. I consider the Corbin Disk Harrow is the most valuable farming implement I have ever used, or ever expect to use. There is no implement of which I have any knowledge that will do so mauydifferent kinifs of work or do the work as well.?[I)r. Wm. M. Walker, Yorkville, S. C. The Corbin Harrow is a complete success, and every farmer should have one, and the longer the matter of buying is put off, the greater the loss to the farmer, as it can be used to great advantage in winter, spring, summer and fall. I consider myself incompetent to do the implement justice from an economical standpoint. ?[Wm. S. Wilkerson, Hickory Grove, S. C. I find a wonderful difference in working land that has been harrowed and that which has not. The more I use my Harrow the better I like it. It is mv purpose to sow rnv small arrain with it next fall, and for two reasons; first, I can sow it better, and, therefore get better results; and second, I can do it at about one-fifth the expense and in one-fifth the time as compared to the ordinary way of sowing grain. No farmer can afford to be without the Corbin Harrow, and the sooner the farmers find this out the better. I would not take five times the cost of my Harrow for it and be without it. I shall be pleased to give mv friends any further information they may desire.?[R. H. Glenn, Yorkville, S. C. The above testimonials, from practical farmers should be sufficient to convince the most skeptical that the Corbin Disk Harrow is a complete success. No farming implement has ever received such universal praise in this section. The St. Lawrence M'fg Co., who are the manufacturers of the Corbin Harrow, recommend the No. 7 Harrow as being best adapted to general farm work. It is made in two sizes, viz.: 12 disks, 1(J inches in diameter, and 6-foot cut, and the other size has 10 16-inch disks and 5-foot cut. I keep a few No. 7 12-disk harrows on hand and can fill orders promptly. I also have SEEDER ATTACHMENTS on hand. I am sole agent for the St. Lawrence M'fg Co. for York, Chester, Fairfield and Lancaster counties, S. C., and Mecklenburg county, N. C. I am prepared to quote unusually low prices and liberal terms.
