That Dird's liberty was iust as sweet to it as yours is to you. God bestowed just as much care upon the creation of that bird as He did upon the creation of you. How would you like it if some great beast should catch you and shut you up just to hear your cries ? I don't see that going to Sunday-school has done you any good. I had hoped, so fondly, too, that in the matter of kindness of heart you would takeafter your mother and me, but you do not. Now don't you feel ashamed of yourself?" Henry (much downcast)?"Yes, sir." Father?"I should think that you would. I had intended to let you go out into the country with me, but I can not allow such a cruel boy to accompany me." TTfinrv?"Please let me cro." Father?"Oh, no." Henry?"Why?" Father?"Because you might bring back a lot of birds and shut them up in a cage." , Henry?"No, I wouldn't." Father?"I can't trust you. I never thought that a child of mine would commit such an outrage. Why it makes me shudder to think of it. What possessed you to imprison that bird ?" Henry?"Mr. Patterson told me that if I'd catch it and put it in a cage for him he'd give me two dollars." Father?"Ah, and did you get the mon-' ey?" | Henry?"Yes, sir." Father?"Oh, well, then, it's all right. I didn't know but what you shut it up ; merely for your own amusement. Let me have the two dollars." Far from the Maddening Crowd.? J I had been staying at an Indiana farm-! house all night, and next morning the | former said he would give me a lift into | town. When he was ready to go he called : to his oldest boy: "Bill is that shotgun loaded with salt for tramps?" "Yes." I "Got the gates shut so that no mad dogs can git in ?" "Yes." "Well, keep a lookout fbr windmill, lightning rod, organ and sewing machine, agents. Don't have any truck with peddlers, or poultry buyers. Don't let in any - patent gate or wire fence men. Keep clear o' patent hay-forks and don't waste no time on churns, force pumps or icecream freezers, bag holders, patent barrels, fruit trees, wagon jacks, nor owl traps." "And say, Bill." called the old man after we had driven forty or fifty rods, "don't buy no cure for the heaves, no fireproof paint, no patent gate hinges, pitchforks nor cyclopaedias.'' We haa driven about three miles when he suddenly pulled up with an exclamation of disgust. "Whatis it?" "Hang my hide if I didn't clean forget to warn Bill against Bohemian oats, New Zealand clover and them pesky insurance agents! Well, it's too late now, but I guess I kin git home before the mob overpowers him." She Preferred the Burglars.? "The fact is," said old Mrs. Jinks, who was in Austin, Texas, on a visit, "the fact is, my dear Mrs. Binks, I-had the narrowest escape from being ruined the other day you ever heard of." "How was it?" asked Mrs. Blinks, growing interested. "Well, you know I sold our house and lot last month and had the money ready to deposit in the savings bank the next morning, which was the very day of its failure." "Yes, I read about it." "I slept with my money under my pillow," continued Mrs. Jinks, "and the next morning when I got ready to start for the bank the money was gone." "Where had it gone to ?" "Some burglars had taken it during the night?an hour after the bank burst up. Did you ever hear of such a remarkable piece of good luck ?" "I don't see where the luck comes in. You lost your cash all the same." "Yes; but they caught the burglars, and on condition of my not prosecuting, they returned me fifty cents on the dollar. The bank only panned out fifteen. There's no use talking, Hanner, between savings banks and burglars. I'll take my chances with burglars every time." She Always Went.?A Washington lady, in writing from New Hampshire, speaks of the lack of progress which prevails in many of the farming districts of the State. She is stopping at a farm house in a very quiet and lonely neighborhood, where a few summer boarders occasionally go. The owners of the farm, Mr. and Mrs. , are in moderate circumstances, but in many respects they are sadly behind the fimes. j "I asked these people," writes the Wash^ ^ngton lady, "if it did not become exceedtagly monotonous living where they saw yao few people, for their nearest neighbors were nearly a mile away. Mrs. replied that sometimes they were a little lonesome. I suggested that as they were so near Boston, they, of course, went to that city occasionally, where they could see more of what was going on in the world." "4 0 yes," said Mrs. , 4I always accompany my husband whenever he goes to Boston.' 44 4In that case, I suppose, you have gone there three or four times this year, at least.' 44 4Land, no,' she replied; 4it is exactly thirty years this summer since Silas and I were last there.' 4 4And yet she always went to Boston whenever her husband did." His Half Son.?An old negro was scolding his son when a man who happened to be passing along said: "You don't seem to be pleased with the boy." "No, sah; I ain't pleased wid him er tall. Dar'sa good many pints about him dat I ain't got no use far. He ain't right bright in his jedgment, an' he's about the laziest human pusson I ever seed in my borned life. But I couldn't 'spect much better of him, caze he's only my ha'f son, no how. "Your half son !" the man exclaimed. "Yas, sah, dat's ail he is?jes my ha'f son." "Why, how do you make that out?" "Easy ernuff, caze I dun been maird twice." "That don't make any difference." "But I reckon it do. De chillun dat wuz borned endurin' my fust wife's lifetime is dat boy's ha'f brudder an' sisters, an' ez da is my chillun, I 'lowed dat I was his ha'f daddy. It 'peer ter me dat it take a mighty long time ter get er p'int through er white pusson's head, nohow." Wanted to Die Happy.?Moses Rabenstein had gone to Europe on business, and, of course, held a return trip ticket. When in London he was taken dangerously ill, and for awhile it looked as if Moses was going to meet his namesake. "I don't vand to die here," he moaned. "I vant to go pack home." "Do you want to die there?" asked the heartless nurse. "No, I don't vant to die dare neider; Eud eef I haf ter tie I vant to die ad j ome," groaned the careful Moses. "What difference does it make? This! country is good enough, I think." "Mine frent, ven I dells you dot eef I tie in England, I lose vot I paid vor dot re-! durn teeget, you vill understhant vy I I would tie so mooch happier in ter poosom oof my family." A Vain Search.?Yellow?"Why, Brownly, how b%d you look this morning. Did you sleep any last night ?" Brownly?"Not a wink." "Anybody sick?" "I am." "What's the matter ?" "Well you see my wife has been in the ! habit of going through my pockets at j night, and I thought what was good for the gander was good for the goose, so after she fell asleep last night I arose and set out to go through her pocket." "Get anjdhing?" "No. Searched the dress over and over, spent the whole night at it, but couldn't! find the pocket."?[Boston Courier. The miserable prisoner was on trial for embezzlement. He leaned over to his lawyer and whispered, "As the evidence is so strong, I don't mind confessing that L I took two hundred and fifty dollars of the |h stolen money." The lawyer shook his A head.

You can't get than eighteen months." m and ^iwsidc. CURING PEA VINES. A correspondent of The Cultivator asks for my method of curing pea vines for hay. If the condition always remained the same, it would be quite an easy matter to establish a fixed plan for doing farm work. I ndeed, if the conditions were always the same, a few years' experience would soon establish a farm policy that every farmer would recognize and adopt. What your correspondent then really wants to know is, not how to save pea vines when everything is favorable, but when the weather, the labor, the teams and everything else is out of joint. And yet the way to answer the enquiry is to tell how to save them when all tnings are favorable, and then vary the plan to suit the changed conditions. I find it best to cut pea vines just about the time the young peas begin to form. Cilt later they are not so good for food, and it is more difficult to save the leaves. If barn-room is abundant I would prefer to cure them in the shade, after they had slightly wilted. If the leaves are allowed " 1 10 CriSD in ine sua mey nrc niiuuai buic w fall off. It is hardly possible to furnish sufficient barn-room to cure any amount of vines, as they require to be spread in order to prevent heating. As a substitute for this, many have suggested rail pens with rail floors, distant two or three feet up to the top. This plan I abandoned some years ago, as it requires about one rail to every pea vine, and then I found the vines spoiled. When, therefore, all things are favoraable. I rely largely upon outdoor curing. I allow the vines to lie as cut until the leaves are pre^y well wilted. I then rake them up with a horse rake and leave them in rows across the field. After remaining a day or such a matter in this condition, I put them into small conical cocks, as I do clover, about five feet high and about five or six feet in diameter at the base. They stay about another day in this way, and I then put two or three of these cocks together ana let them stay for several days, depending altogether upon their condition. This I do when the weather is decidedly favorable. If it is not, after remaining a day as raked up across the field, I draw them to the barn and put three or four loads in a place, and after a few days I have them lorked over and aired and moved just enough distance to say they are moved. This plan of taking to the barn at once I much prefer, if the vines are short, as they are then secure against possible bad weather. If the vines are long, it is no easy matter to move them, as any farmer will soon find who tries it. They become quite tangled, and, in addition to the great expenditure of strength, they are much damaged in loss of leaves. Altogether, I practice this plan most frequently : After lying just as long as I am willing to risk them exposed to tne weather, I take them to the barn and fork them over as necessity may demand. It makes troublesome forage, but I find peavine hay most excellent food, and when the farmer gets in the habit of curing them the job does not seem so formidable. If at home when the work is being done, I can ftlwavs savfi them successfully: when trusted to others i sometimes lose them. I always put my stubble fields in pea vines to be saved for hay. Farmers who five much time to cotton, of course cannot o this without a good deal of extra help. W. J. Northen. THE COVERING OF'SMALL GRAIN. The impression is quite common among farmers that grains, like oats, that are liable to be winter killed, should be covered deep to enable them to withstand cold. Hence, the common practice of putting in oats with a turn-plow. Such opinions, however, are often based on theory ana not on observation and experience. One says that a seed covered several inches deep is better protected from cold than one at or near the surface, and so is the lower part of the plant that springs from the seed. This seems plausible, and he at once proceeds to act upon it, and covers all his grain deep. He does not cover some deep, and some shallow, and note the difference in results the same winter. He may have covered some deep one year and some shallow another year, and compared the two, with the advantage on the side of the deep covering. But this would not be conclusive, because other conditions besides the depth of covering might have been different in the two years. One winter might have been dryer than the other, the changes from warm to cold may have been more sudden in one than the other. The spell of cold may have been longer in one than the other, and so with many other points. It is an exceedingly difficult thing to get conditions exactly alike in two experiments made side by side the same year. Still more difficult when made in different years. We have made some observations on oats plowed in, and volunteer oats from seed scattered on the surface, the same winter, and one which was very destructive to oats. No difference in the amount killed would be observed. Winter killing is sometimes caused by grain which has rooted directly on the surface, being so heaved up by the frost that the roots are lifted off the ground, lose their contact with the soil and dry up. Of course, in such case the plant perishes. Grain on or verv near the surface is. of course, liable to this accident; hence, 'we conclude that some covering is desirable. But whether the covering should be, therefore, very deep, is entirely a different matter. A A covering of one inch would be insufficient to obviate this difficulty. Is anything gained by covering deeper than that? All know that grain is not toprooted. that they send out numerous roots from the stem just as soon as it emerges from the grain, but, if a grain is planted deep, another whirl of roots will soon form around the stem higher up, and nearer the surface of the ground, and those first formed perish. In other words, you cannot force small grain to be deep rooted, by planting them deep. They will have their roots near the surface in spite of all you can do. Not only is this true, but it is also true that when grain is planted very deep it has to struggle so long in getting up to the surface that it becomes quite exhausted and makes a weak plant. Moreover, direct experiments in planting grain at different depths, show that from one to three inches constitutes the limits and that the strongest plants and best yields come from seed planted within those limits.? [W. L. J., in Atlanta Constitution. Leaks ox the Farm.?1The leaks in the roofs of the farm buildings are not all that many farmers have to contend with. We see many farmers buying high-priced imfdements, and when through with them eaving them where last used, either in furrow or in the stubblefield, until wanted the next spring, and then losing valuable time in going to the shop for repairs, or, what is worse, going to the store for new ones. Have a place or shelter for every machine, and when the hired help or owner himself is through using, put in the place assigned for it. Some will say that takes time. To be sure it does: but is it not better to have tools that are nt to use at any time than it is to step the team when busy to go to town to get them fixed and thereby cause a leak in the pocket-book ? Again, many will keep scrub stock and breea from year after year because the owners of blooded stock ask too high a price for the services of their stock. Then you may see, on riding through the country, dilapidated buildings, and the owner will say he is not able to repair them, out on inquiry you will find that he will spend enough money for whisky and tobacco to keep them in repair. Another leak is the hiring of cheap help, mere eye servants, and leaving them to the work, while the proprietor is in town talking politics or sitting on the fence discussing neighborhood gossip with some one as shiftless as himself. These are but a few of the leaks that might be mentioned, for pages might be filled in enumerating the things, both small and great, that keep the farmer plodding along, always in debt and eternally growling about hard times.~[Western Plowman. Common Salt for Neuralgia.?It is not generally known that common salt is an admirable remedy for neuralgia. 1 )r.

So, that in that hour of extremest anguish, when the hand of death has been laid upon the head of the family, you cannot alleviate the suffering of the wife and of the children; but you can avert the awful agony of despair as to the future, when you come to that widowed wife and that desolate hearthstone with the contributions from the policy of life insurance, which at least enables that widowed wife to know that for the few years of the future, by that contribution, she can keep under her own watchful and motherly, eye the little children God has given to her, until they grow up to years when they can go out into the arena of life and fight life's battles for themselves. The shrewdest business men are stnong the warmest advocates of pure life insurance, while those who rail against it are generally persons who are physically unable to obtain insurance, or too selfish to pay for what they themselves cannot enjoy ; or as they frequently express it, "are adverse to play in a game where they have to die to win." The Legion of Honor is as solid as rock, and furnishes insurance at actual cost. It meets its obligations with promptness. Since its organization in 1878 it has paid about $17,250,000 to the widows and orphans of deceased membets. Think of the vast amount of good that has been accomplished by this large sum of money.

Now that ' there was no possibility of escape, More land seemed to become resigned, and rose sullenly off the floor. / Watch for the Announc Chapt Don't on Any Account Fail 1 CHARLESTON, CIMMTI & CHICAGO Si 1 Schedule la effect March 31, IS'JO. fioixe, soi'Tir. | No. 52* | No.38f |j Leave Rutlierfordton 1 'J 55 am Leave Shelby j 11 15 am Leave BlaekshurK .12 45 am 8 50 am L Leave Hickory drove 1 15pm 0 40 am I, Leave Sharon I 30 pml 10 10 am L Leave Yorkville 1 45 pm110 55 am L Leave Tirzah 1 50pm II 15am L Leave Newport 2 02 pm 11 00 am L Leave Old l'oint 2 08 pm 11 50 am L Leave Itoek Hill 2 20 pm 12 40 pm L -"Leave Lewlie 2 28 pm 100 pm L Leave Koddey's 2 32 pm! 1 15 pm L Leave Catawba Junction 2 3tlpm 2 50pm I, Leave Idineaster 3 12 pm 4 30 pm A Leave Camden 4 31pm 7 30 pm L Leave Kingvillc (120 pm Iv Arrive Columbia 7 05 pm L innxii XoltTII. | No. 53* | No. 39t ^ Leave Columbia J '.too am A Leave Kinjfville [ 9 50 am A Leave C'nuulen 1110 am it 00 am Lenve Iaincuster I 09 pm 1 15 pm Ia'ftve Catawba Junction I 1-lspm - 50 pin L< Leave Roddcy'a ; 1 52 pm 3 00 pm ?

Practical farmers every- i : where agree that it is, WITHOUT EXCEP- : i TION, the most profitable implement for oulti- i vating the soil and putting in grain yet in- j I ; vented. It increases the crops, saves time, and a , saves labor. j ~ | The Harrow is made 01 nrsi-ciass material , throughout, and with proper care will do good f work for fifteen or twentv years, and will pay j i for itself a dozen times over. The wheels or . i disks are made of the very best of steel, and | will neither break, bend or crumble. The j disks are not alFeeted to any appreciable extent . by rocks and the Harrow will do good work I . 011 all kinds of land. < The following are some of tho points of superiority possessed by the Corbin Harrow : 1. It is theouly Disk Harrow that is perfect- \ ly flexible (i. c. one that will adapt itself to nu- c even surfaces). F 2. It is the only Harrow in which the gangs i are independent of each other?either can tit or i follow an inequality without disturbing the j other. i j 3. It is the only Harrow having chilled t boxes and anti-friction balls. . 4. It is the only Harrrow that has a success- ( fill Seeder Attachment. t 5. It is theonly combined Harrow and Seed- j er that covers every kernel of grain in rows like a drill. C. The Corbin is unequaled for lightness of i draft and power as a pulverizer. j The Harrow With Seeder Attachment. ? i Every Corbin Harrow, whatever the size, is t arranged so that a Seeder can be attached to it. The Seed Box and its machinery are of the most simple and compact character. All its . metal parts are of malleable or refined wrought ] iron. Its weight is (of the size to lit the No. 7 , 12-disk Harrow) about eighty pounds. ? The Seeder Attachment is removable at ] pleasure. It locks itself firmly to tho Harrow < frame by simply putting it into position. 1 Neither bar, bolt,* wedge, key, screw or pin, is used to fasten it. Therefore, no hammer, wrench or other tool is required to attach or j detach it. Half a minute of time will remove and one minute replace it. The Harrow and Seeder combined cost about 1 half as much as a Drill, and is a better tool. ' It will sow grain as evenly as any drill, cover 1 it better, and place it at any depth in the ground. It is two complete implements in one. It prepares the fiela in the best possible , manner for seeding and then sows the crop. < It sows RED RUST-PROOF OATS capitally.

I havo a Corbin Disk Harrow which I have ieen using for several years, and consider it he most valuable farming implement of which ' havo any knowledge. As a time and money aver, aside from the superior quality of work t does, its value can hardly be estimated at be season at which the small grain is sown. -[R. 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. rhere is no implement of which I have any knowledge that will do so many different kinds jf work or do the work as well.?[Dr. Wra. M, Walker, Yorkville, 8. C. The Corbin Harrow is a complete success, and avery 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, 8. 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 my purpose to sow my small grain with It next fall, and for two reasons; Brst, I can sow it belter, and, therefore get better results; and second, I can do it at about one-iifth the expense and in one-fifth the time as compared to the ordinary way of so wing 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 my friends any further Information they may desire.?[R. H. Glenn, Yorkville, 8. 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.
