Never was a kinder hearted feller, I reckon. Fine-lookin', too, be was, but he had some mighty peculiar ways. He called me a bloody idiot one morain'. I didn't know exactly why he should have called me bloody, unless it was because he had seed me killin' hogs that ??.

"Was that the reason you drove him away ?" "Oh, no, he staid quite a while after that. He helped me clear up that corner piece of new ground and as Zeb was sick at the time and couldn't help me, I don't know how I could have got along without the Englishman. He was peculiar, though, as I said fust now. One day he sorter fell out with my wife, and called her a bloomin' bore. That wasn' right, for she ain' much of a bore except when she gets to askin' me questions that I don't want to answer, and as to bein' b?.oomin' she ain't no sich of a thing. I thought she was right bloomin' when I married her, and so she was, but that was a long long time ago," "And after he called your wife a blooming bore, yon drove him off, eh ?" "No, not right then. I thought he was peculiar, and I think so yet, but we got along together pretty well, notwithstandin'. And, just about the time I thought I had him down fine, him and Zeb got into a row and he bruised Zeb'mightily." > "And I suppose Zeb was then determined that you should drive him off." "No, Zeb didn't say anything about that. He and Zeb had been good friends, you know, although Zeb thought he was peculiar, and I reckon he thinks so yet, for I know I do. Him and Zeb bought a colt in partnershin and afterward sold it to old man Dare. I saw that he was.makin' love to Sail, and I spoke to my wife about it, and wife 'lowed that we'd better let 'em go. Said that she liked the feller fUst rate although she thought he was a little peculiar, and I reckon she thinks so yet, fori know I do. One day he end Sail got into a sort of a row. Sail bad come out to the field where he was at work and had said something to him, I don't know what, and the ftist thing I knowed he snatched up a bush and thrashed Sail a right smart. Yes, whaled her till she run home." "And then you drove him away, I suppose." "Well, not exactly then. He and Sail made it np that evenin' and then they seemed to be more lovin' than ever. Shortly after this, though, our real trouble come on. Me and him was down in the cellar, and whne we was standin' there, he put his hand on a barrel of sorgum molasses and says, says he, 'About how much per gallon does it cost you to make this treacle ?'" " 'This what ?' I exclaimed." " 'Treacle,' sayfehe." "Are you in earnest?" I asks. "Of course." ''Look here," says I, "this here is sorgum and I worked day and night a makin' it, and now you come along here and call it treacle, and that too after we have all been so kind to you, and Sail has promised to be your wife, and Zeb went into partnership with you and bought a colt that you and him sold to old man Dare?I say after all that you come along here and call this here sorgum treacle?yes, sir, and that too after I had told yoh to help yourself when them six hogs was a hangin' on, the pole. Now you never mind tellin' Sail good bye, but git right now, and if I ketch you in this community again, I will fill your hide so fall of _X_ holes that it wouldn't hold carpet rags ; and then without sayin' a word he turned around and mosied and we hain't hearn of him since." Hbpvvuu to the Last.?-A certain maiden lady was twice in her life engaged to be married, and each time some unforeseen event interposed to destroy her hopes of matrimonial bliss. Her's was a sad case. Time began to wrinkle her fair brow, and no new suitors appeared. To add to her distress she became sick nigh unto death. The assistant clergyman of the parish?a bashful youth? was sent for. The sick room was well filled with sympathizing neighbors when the young divine made his appearance, and after some remarks proceeded to read a portion of the Scriptures. He fell upon the chapter in which the woman of Samaria is introduced. When he read these words, "Go, call thy husband," the sick woman groaned a little; but when he uttered the words, "The woman answered and said, I have no husband," the old lady rose upright in her bed, and, with flashing eyes, squeaked out," I'm no gaun to of mm' o?r?

Couldn't you have ' -bawled a little bit, Israel ?"

A Clever Retort.?There are some people who delight in turning serious discussion into channels of superficiality and general flippancy by inopportune questions, to which, to their dull comprehension, there is no answer. A case of this sort brought out an unusually witty retort at one of New York's dinner tables last winter, when American humor wasthe subject under discussion. A follower of the profession of jesting, having taken occasion to speak of the vein of humor, was asked by his flippant vis-a-vis : "Ir what part of the body does the vein of humor lie?" Without a moment's hesitation, he replied, "It starts from the funny-bone, skirts the humerus, and discharges in the jest." I#" Mr. George lies tells a story of the three graces that a Canadian parson pronounced at his table last holiday time. Some one had given him a turkey with all the "fixings," and over the first dinner the grace began with the words, "Most bountiful Jehovah." The next day there was very little turkey left, and the parson said, "For what we are about to enjoy, we thank Thee," etc. On the third day the turkey's remains j looked like the keel and ribs of a ship just begun. Over that the purson said, "O Lord, we endeavor always to be grateful; Johnny, pass the potatoes." |ST Fond Parent?Johnny, when you get to be a man, what do you think you would like to do for a living?

'LIGHT FKUM KEI) CLOUD. . A correspondent of The New York World, writing from Pine Ridge Agency, under date of January 10/ says: "I had an interview with Red Cloud, chief of the Sioux nation, to-day. He is not v#ry strong and still suffers from the trouble !he experienced while endeavoring to quiet the crazy young warriors among the Brules. He is probably th^ ablest man the Sioux ever had in their councils, and is to-day regarded with deep reverence by the older heads on account of many deeds of bravery on the battlefield. His generalship has been proved on many afield. "On December 30th, Col. Forsythe had a taste of Red Cloud's skill which he will jiever forget. The Seventh Cavalry was sent to the relief of a wagon train and skirmished with the Indians in a light way for some time, when suddenly the troops found . themselves surrounded. The Indians were handled in masterly style, and but for the eaily arrival of Col. Henry's Ninth Cavalry, there would have been a repetition of the Custer massacre. The hand of Red Cloud was so appurent that with one accord the old Indian fighters spoke ofit. One of the friendly sub-chiefs afterwards explained it by saying that the old fellow, being forced into the camp of the hostiles, and, seeing that his people were determided to fight, directed their movements so that they would not be annihilated, as they were at Wounded Knee. " T have.been a friend to white men for thirteen yearsii' said the old thief,l4ahd daring all that time I have .never broken a contract made with them. My people have not been treated right. Many papers have tried to get justice for us, but failed. Our young men who have been educated in the East say The World will put our case before your people and see if there can be a change.' " 'I do not know who started this trouble,' continued the old chief, with great deliberation, 'but punishment should be given them. Bad men got among us and they stirred up a feeling that caused many to become dissatisfied. And then the poor people are so simple ; it is not hard to blind their eyes. They follow you if they think you are a friend. Plenty had suffered from hunger and were half crazy, "tea, some were so bad that they wanted to kill and get killed. This was when Big Foot's baud came to Wounded Knee. If he had come in as he should have done all would be well. He is the cause of all thut followed. Medicine men made him believe that the soldiers could not shoot them '* ' ?* ?j tnrougn meir gnosi mnri?, mm mr^v smui ?i the soldiers. Then the Indian blood was aroused. More who wanted food were crazy for the white man's blood. He could not stop them. ".'I was, taken prisoner and forcpd away. My cattle und horses weife driven froiii my place and distributed among them. My house was robbed. Although I did my l)est to get away every day, I could not come before, because I was kept prisoner.' "Have your people been well fed ami clothed, as claimed at Washington?"'! inquired. "'No. We have been promised many things, hut get few. Our food is poor, our clothing bad, and very little has been done to help us form. For several years the number who haw suffered from want has gradually increased. Year after year our rations have been cut down. One year ago Gen. Crook made a treaty, and after he died the rations were again reduced. Can we be blamed if fault is found at such treatment ? The Sioux are not warlike if they are given half what they are rightfully entitled to. They want to learn the ways of white men. But that can not be done in a day or a year. "One thing more. It is said that we are helped to farm. It sounds good, but here are some facts. I have a large family and last season they gave me enough seed to put in four acres and that was bud. Many did not get that much. Our wagons and other tools are made of the poorest material. To me it is not plain why such things should be done. There has not been much rain to help us raise corn and wheat, but if the department gave us plenty of seed to put in the ground I believe that the Indian would jget along pretty well. Things would be better any way. There would be less starvation. Our children would have food to keep them from the grave. We can go hungry, but we must have something to keep them alive." LL A ?.,v CSAIIV /lo/tmuiciiur 9*' AIC tUC ujuua uvvtvu*7ii*^ "Yes, ten years ago we were very strong; now we are few. There is no reason for such a state of affairs. If the treaties were kept our people would be easily handled. They have never broken out unless pushed to it by bad treatment, and then the advice of villains would cause them to rise up. " 'I am sorry for this trouble,? concluded the old warrior. 4I want my people to do right, but I am also opposed to the methods pursued in bundling them. A little aid in fanning, education, food when we really need it; and the Sioux will be always peaceable. The men who killed Casey must be punished, and I will ussist the government all I can. There are some white men who are just as bad as the Indians, and I wunt them punished also.'" DRUNK CALVIN'S HEALTH. At Yorktown, Va., on the occasion of the centennial celebration of the surrender of Cornwallis, the orator of the day was holding forth at overpowering length, and a good many people slipped out and sought other pastimes. An interesting group in a big marquee was composed of Governor Jarvis, of North Carolina, and Governor Hoyt, of Pennsylvania, with their respective stall's, "renewing the assurances" &c., after the traditional manner of the governors of the two Carolinas. The Penusylvanians had called to pay their respects, and North Carolina hospitality took the form of lilierul rations ot'old Bourbon. The governors and Senator Vance, in plain clothes, and a score of stall' officers, in plain clothes, stood with glasses charged ready to drink, when Governor Vance said something about bis being a dyed-in-the-wool Presbyterian. "Hold," said Governor Hoyt, "do you mean to say that you arc a Presbyterian?" "Just that, governor; if you don't believe me, try me." "So I will," replied Hoyt, "and that before we go any further. How many questions are there in the Shorter Catechism "One hundred and seven," was the prompt answer. "Right. And 'What is the chief end of man ??" "Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever." "Good enough," said Hoyt. "I give you a certificate of good standing." The bystanders, whose lips had not yet been moistened, were about to have the deferred drink, when Vance said: "Hold a minute, gentlemen. Since Gov. Hoyt has catechised me, it is my time to have a shot at him. How do I know that he is qualified to give a certificate?" "Go ahead, senator," rejoined Hoyt, evidently ready for the test. The bystanders sighed, and ngnm ncm incir glasses m hucj unce. "Tell me. Gov. Hoyt, what is sin ?" "Sin is any want of conformity unto, or transgression of, the law of God." "Good hoy." said Vanee, "you will do," and then turning to the impatient crowd, "Well, gentlemen, let us drink to tin? memory of John Calvin." The glasses were drained. I .oubt whether the Shorter Catechism was ever given such an outing, and whether the prosecutor of old Serverus ever had his immortality toasted under more peculiar conditions.?N. V. Tribune. Start Wki.i,.?Much depends upon a cheerful start for the day. The man who leaves his home with a scowl on his brow, and a snap at his children, and a tart speech to his wife, instead of a kiss, is not likely to be pleasant company for anybody during the lay: he will probably come home with the temper of a porcupine. Wise plans should be laid for every day, so that it he not an idle saunter, or an aimless bustling to and fro. Yet to make good speed on the right track we must not start overloaded ; not so many things to be undertaken, lest they prove hasty botch work. The journey is not made in a cushioned car, but on foot, and the most gulling load is vexatious and worrying care. One step at a time is all that the most busy Christian can take, and steady walking ought not to tire any healthy body or soul. It is the overstrained rush, whether in business or study, that breaks people down: especially the insane greed for wealth or the mud ambition, goading brain and nerves to a fury. The shattered nerves and sudden deaths in all our great business centers tell a sad story. A good rule is to take short views, i Sufficient to the day is the toil thereof; no mini is strong enough to benr to-day's load with to-morrow piled on the fop of it. The only long look far ahead that you and I should take should he the look toward the judgment-seat and the offered crown at the end of the race. That is the way to get a ( taste of heaven in advance.?Rev. T. L. Cuyler. The Term "John Bull."?Everybody knows that a "Johnny Bull" is an Englishman, but how few of us know how the term ! first came to be applied to subjects of the British sovereigns. According to the rttory of its origin, Dr. John Bull was the first Gresham professor of music, besides being organist and composer to her majesty, Queen Elizabeth. John, like all true Englishmen, traveled for improvement, and having heard of a famous musician at St. Omers, France, resolved to place himself under him as a novice. But circumstances soon convinced the mnatnr thnf his talents were inferior to those of his scholar; who, by the way had not let the Frenchman know his name. Finally one day the musician thought to give John a genuine surprise by rendering a piece in forty parts, taking good care to let the pupil know that he defied all the world to add another part to his composition. Bull requested to he left alone for a few minutes with the additional indulgence of a pen and ink. In a very short time he had added forty parts more to the song. The master went into ecstacies when he saw what his pupil had done, declaring that the musicul world had had more added to it that day than it ever had before in the history of the world, winding up by informing the scholar that he must be one of two personages, either the devil or John Bull, the Englishman; a remark, which has ever since been proverbial in Britain.

Wre propose to award one of these Carts to the club maker who shall secure and pay for the lunrest number of NEW SUBSCRIBERS be tween November 1,1890, and the FIRST AlOA DAY IN FEBRUARY, 1891, up to 1 o'clock p. in., and we would call tho attention of all who desire to compete for this premium, to what is said in reference to it in our prospectus, which appear* in this issue. Read it carefully. The Cart Is Worth *22.50. The following is a description of the ('art, as furnished us by the manufacturers: "The shafts, cross bar, slngfe-tree and circle are made of select second growth hickory?free from knots und wind shakes. The axle is one inch case-hardened steel. Tires are i x ? round edge steel. .Shafts are so attached to axle that it is impossible for them to slip, which will not be found in most Cart*. Tho tires are bolted on and rims of wheels! have screws on each side of every spoke (horizontally) to prevent rim from splitting. Has cushioned scut. The shafts have silver this on ends, and are trimmed with dash leather. In the painting four coats of puint are used. The spring is long and easy riding, and <*rries one or two passengers easier than any (.'art we ever rode in. The ('art may be seen in the manufacturers' show room at Rock Hill. The following voluntary testhnonlulsnre printed for the information of all interested. Dozens of others just as strong might bo produced, but it is not deemed necessary, as those we publish cover the whole ground: THE CORI Is the Best Farming In NO OTHER IMPLEMENT WILL DO , Right Now Is Tft THERE iH no doubt of the fact that no funning implement hus ever been ottered to the farm- ! ing world that hus given such universal satisfac- j tion as the COR BIX DISK HARROW. It is1 used In every State and Territory and is heartily i and enthusiastically endorsed by every farmer who has ever used it, and they are numbered by thousands. Practical farmers everywhere agree I that it is, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, the most! profitable implement for cultivating the soil und : putting in grain yet invented. It increases the I crops, saves time and saves labor. The Harrow is made of first-class material i throughout, and with proper care will do good work for fifteen or twenty years, and will pay I for itselfu dozen times over. The wheels or disks i are made of the very best of steel, and will neither | break, bend or crumble. The disks are not affected to any appreciable extent by rocks, and | the Harrow will do good work on all kinds of land. The following are some of the points of stipe-1 rioritv possessed by the Corbin Harrow : 1. It is the only Disk Harrow that is perfectly flexible (i. e. one that will adapt itself to uneven I surfaces). 2. It is the only Harrow in which the gangs are ! independent of each other?either can fit or fol-! low an inequality without disturbing the other. I 3. It is the only Harrow having chilled lioxes and anti-friction balls. 4. It is the only Harrow that lias a successful; Seeder Attachment. ft. It is the only combined Harrow and .Seeder, that covers every kernel of grain in rows like a j drill. 0. The Corbin is unequaled for lightness of draft and power as a pulverizer. .

Every Corbin Harrow, whatever the size, isarranged ho that a Seeder can be attached to it. The Seed Box and its inaehinery are of the most simple and compact character. All its metal parts are of malleable or refined wrought iron. Its weight is (of the nize to fit the No. 7, 12-disk Harrow) about eighty pounds. The Seeder Attachment is i*emovablo at pleasure. It looks itself firmly to the Harrow frame by simply putting it into pdsition. Neither bar, liolt, wedge, key, screw or pin, is used to fasten it. Therefore, no hammer, wrench or other tool is required to attach or detach it. Half a minute of time will remove and one minute replace it. The Harrow and Seeder combined cost al>out half as much as a Drill, and is a better tool. It will sow grain as evenly as any drill, cover it better, anil place it at any depth in the ground. It is two complete implements in one. It prepares the field ill the best possible inauner for seeding and then sows the crop. It sows RED RUST PROOF OATS capitally. The St. Lawrence M't 'g Co., who are the manufacturers of the Corbin Harrow, recommend tiie No. 7 Harrow as being best adapted to general farm work. It is made in two sizes, viz.: 12 disks, Hi inches in diameter, and 6-foot cut, and the other size has 10 16-inch disks and 6-foot cut.
