Mtumorous ffrpAttmrat. UNMARRY1NG MOSES GREEN. I was talking with a justice of the peace in front of his office when he suddenly beckoned to a colored man across the street and shouted: "Yo', thar, Moses Green, come over yere!" "Yes, sah?mawnin to yo', Mars Johnson," replied the man as he approached with his hat in his hand. "Look yere, Moses, I reckon you know what's on my mind." "Reckon I does, sah." "It's about that dollar." "Yes, sah." "mat (lonar yo nave uweu uie iui uvt-i three years. Mose, yo' haven't used me right. No, doggone it, you haven't been plumb! Yo' wanted to get married and hadn't a shilling in cash to yo'r name. I thought yo' was a squar' nigger, and I married yo' for a dollar, and on tick at that. Yo' agreed to pay the next week, but yo' dodged me, and yo' have bin dodgin' me ever since. Moses, I don't like it, dad rot my buttons if I do!" "Sorry, sah, but I hain't got dat dollah yit, Mars Johnson," said Moses as he hung down his head. "Of co'se not?of co'se. I didn't reckon yo' had. Look here, boy, do yo' know what I'm goin to do?" "No, sah." "I married yo' for a dollar. Yo' haven't paid it. I'm goin' to unmarry yo'. Moses Green, yo' can now consider yo'rself a single man!" "Yes, sah. Yah! Yah! Yah! Stremely obleeged to yo', Mars Johnson!" "What's the matter now?" "Why, sah, I'ze got mighty tired of de old woman yo' married me to fur dat dollah, and now dat yo' has unmarried me I'll go home and made her skip and come back to be married to Evangeline Jackson! Yo' know her, squar'. Young gal and mighty peart. Bin wishin' fur eber so long I could dun marry her. We'll be along yere 'bout fo' o'clock dis arternoon, an I'll pay yo' cash down dis time, jest like white folks. Mawnin', Mars Johnson ; shan't nebber forgit dis kindness if I lib to be a thousand y'ars old!" John Dennis and General Floyd.? Early in the late civil war, John Dennis, a full blooded negro, believing himself fired with r?otrintir? ?pfll and nhle to serve his ...... r~v. , -- > country, besought his master, a Georgian, and got permission to accompany a regiment from that State which was soon placed under the command of General Floyd. The history of that campaign is well-known. On the retreat John became homesick, and was allowed to depart. He had become wellknown to General Floyd and all his command. On his departure he went to take leave of the general, when the following dialogue was had : General Floyd?Well, John, you are going to leave us, eh ? John?Yes, Mars Floyd; it'pears like I could do more good at home dan bein' here ; so I thought I'd go home and courage up our people to hold on." General F.?That's right, John. But are you going tell 'em that you left us when running from the Yankee? Johu?No, sir; no Mars Floyd, dat I ain't. You may 'pend on my not tellin' nothin' to 'moralize dem people." General F.?But how will you get around telling them, John ? John?Easy enough, Mars Floyd. It won't do to 'moralize dem people. I'm goin' tell 'em dis?dat when I left de army it was in first rate sperrits, and dat, owiu' to de situation of de country and de way de land lay, we was advancin' backards, and de Yankees was retreatin' on to us. Theological Pleasantry.?F. K. Van Tassel, a local missionary iu Ulster, contributes to the Kingston Freeman an article from which we take the following story: "As I passed through Hasbrouck I saw a church in an unfinished condition, and inquired what church it was. I learned that it was Mr. Hamilton's. This leads me to speak of this second Robert Collyer, a blacksmith and a preacher. One day a minister of the Methodist Episcopal denomination came to have his horse shod by Mr. Hamilton. Knowing his Baptist proclivities, he thought to joke him. Said he, "Is this a Baptist shop?" "It is, sir," said Mr. Hamilton. "Well. I. want Methodist shoes put on my horse." "All right, sir." The sturdy blacksmith, with a smile, went to work, turned, calked and fitted the shoes, then laid them down and waited, saying, "Will take them sometime to cool, sir ; you will have to wait a little." "Why don't you dip them into the tub?" said the Methodist man. "Oh, that would make them Baptist shoes, sir!" said Mr. Hamilton. The joke had gone far enough by this time, and the Methodist brother replied, "Oh, well, dip them anyway ; I am in a hurry." So the Methodist horse wore Baptist shoes one time, and was no worse for it. Redeeming a Note.?The Okoloma (Miss.) News tells the following story : "Old P. is well-known in some parts as one who never pays a debt if it can be avoided ; has plenty of money, and is a jolly rollicking old chap; gets pretty drunk occasionally, when, of course, some friend takes care of him. A few days since he fell into the hands of a friend who held his note for a sum of money, and, as it was the last chance, the friend dived into old P's wallet, took out the amouut of his note, and. put the note where the money had been. When he awoke to consciousness, as was his wont, he took out his wallet to count how much money he was out. Finding his purse almost depicted, he thundered : "How in the deuce did I spend so much money ?" "You paid off that note I held," answered the friend. "Well," muttered old P., quietly stowing away his wallet, "I must have been very uruiiK. As the Years Go By.?A young man and a young woman lean over the front gate. They are lovers. It is moonlight. He is loth to leave, as the parting is the last. He is about to go away. She is reluctant to see him depart. They swing on the gate. "I'll never forget you," he says, "and if death should claim me, my last thought will be of you." "I'll be true to you," she sobs. "I'll never see or love anybody else as long as I live." They part. Six years later he returns. His sweetheart of former years has married. They met at a party. She has changed greatly. Between the dances the recognition takes place. "Let me see," she muses, with her fan beating a tattoo on her pretty hand, "was it you or your brother who was my old sweetheart ?" "Really I don't know," he says. "Probably my father." 66?" "Your school report for the month shows that you have been idling again, Harry," said his father, in a tone of grave re u\ ?i,? prooi. "IU11 UUll t ncciu iu "l'i'1 i 11v advantages you enjoy. At your age, my son," he continued, "I would have been only too glad to have the splendid schools, the capable teachers, the costly upparatus, and the other helps in acquiring an education that boys have in this age of the world. I had to struggle along the best I could without them." "Then you must have been mistaken the other day," said Harry, rattling his marbles. "You told me that if you'd only known the value of an education when you were a boy, you would have applied yourself and tried to learn instead of fooling all your time playing two cornered cat and bull pen?" "Harry," interposed his father sterulv. "run out to the barn and throw down some hay for the horses." An Jxsi'raxck Story.?An insurance agent called into an establishment on Main street the other day with u large account book under his arm. and walking up to the proprietor in a business sort of way, inquired : "How's business?how's stock?" "Oh, business is very dull," replied the tradesman. " 'Pon my word, sir, I haven't got $900 in the house! Terrible dull!" and the man looked very sad and sighed. "Then, sir." said the insurance man, with a good deal of warmth, "how does it come that your stock is insured inoureompanv for $4,500 ?" "Oh! ah! heg your pardon," exclaimed the dealer in great confusion ; thought you was the tax-man. I was sure you were the tax gatherer, or, upon my soul, I would not have said that, when, in fact, my stock is worth fully $8,000. Look for yourself, sir!" Itfagsiidc timberings.

SALT AM) ASHES FOR AMMALS. This subject has been frequently discussed i hitherto, especially the use of salt for farm | stock. That all domestic animals do better) where they are constantly supplied with salt,! I am perfectly satisfied, from experience and long observation. The only case where it seems to do injury is where cattle have been long without it, and then giving them all they are inclined to consume. I am willing to own that it is temporarily injurious, not because the article itself its bad, but because ofj taking too much at one time. The proper way to feed salt is to place it I where the stock can get at it as they please, and take what they are inclined to eat. Neverf mix it with their food, so tluft they are compelled to eat .it whether they want it or not. More and better butter can be made from the milk of the cow when she has a full supply of salt, than one entirely deprived of it, and j having an irregular supply, anil it also takes less time to cliupn^he cream. Nature requires salt as an aid in preserving health. It assists in digestion, as well as in many other ways, which I need not here mention. For cattle at pasture lumps may he laid in any convenient place where a board cai be fixed to shelter from rain, and still allow the stock free access. At the barn the lumps can be placed under the shed or some other convenient and dry spot. But oft entimes stock seem to require an alkali as well, and that is most conveniently supplied with wood ashes, which horses, cattle sheep and swine will greedily devour, when they have an opportunity. These should also be supplied where the stock can have access to them if desired. The ashes should be from good sound wood and kept dry. When desirable to keep cattle at pasture, and there is no shed to shelter the ashes and salt, a convenient trough may be fasteued between two posts, on top of which are fastened two planks or boards as a roof to shelter from raiu. The posts should be long enough so that the trough may be eighteen or twenty inches above the ground, and there must be room above, between it and the roof, to allow free access to the salt and ashes. This answers for all stock except sheep and swine, which can have the troughs lower. I believe that if a constant supply of salt and ashes is provided where all kinds of stock can have access to them, very much less disease would be known among farm stock. I have never known hots, colic or worms in horses where ashes and salt were thus furnished. Kind Treatment of Horses.?It has been observed by experienced horse trainers that naturally vicious horses are rare, and that among those that are properly trained and kindly treated when colts, they are the exception. It is superlluous to say that a gentle and docile horse is always the more valuable, other qualities being equal, and it is almost obvious that gentle treatment tends to develop this admirable quality in the horse as well as in the human species, while harsh treatment has the contrary tendency. Horses have been trained so as to be governed entirely by the words of the driver, and they will obey and perform their simple but important duties with as much alacrity as the child obeys the direction of the parent. It is true that all horses are not equally intelligent and tractable, but it is probable that there is less difference among them in this regard than there is among his human masters, since there are many incitements and ambitions among men that do not affect animals. The horse learns to know and have confidence in a gentle driver, and soon discovers how to secure for himself that which he desires, and to understand his surroundings and his duties. The tone, volume and inflection of his master's voice indicate much, perhaps more than the words that are spoken. Soothing tones rather than words calm him if excited by fear or anger, and angry and excited tones tend to excite him. In short, bad masters make bad horses. To Measure an Acre.?Few farmers know the actual size of their fields or how many acres they contain. A field of the writer's, before it came into his possession, hart been plowed and reaped ny comraci for fifteen acres. On measuring it, it was found to have but twelve acres. It is desirable, in fact, indispensible for good work, that a farmer should know how many acres each field contains, for otherwise he cannot apportion seed or manure for it, nor can he tell how much time it should require to he plowed. A measuring cord should be part of the furniture on every farm. To make one, procure sixty-seven feet of strong rope, one inch around; make a loop or fasten a ring or a bar at each end, and make these precisely sixty-six feet apart. This is four rods. Then tie a piece of red rag in the centre. One acre of ground will be a piece four of these cords (chains) long and two and one half wide, equal to sixteen by ten rods, making 100 square rods to one acre. The advantages of the ring or loop is that one person can measure alone by driving a stake in the ground to hold the rope while he stretches it out. The rope should be soaked l in tar and dried, which will prevent it from ! shrinking when wet. Amount of Seed Per Acre.?The following list shows the amount of seed usually planted on an acre: Parley, broadcast 2 to .1 bush. Beans, dwarf, in bills J bush. Beans, pole, in hills 10 to 12 qts. Beet, in drills 4 to (1 Ins. Broom corn, in hills 8 to 10 qts. Buckwheat, broadcast 1 bush. Carrot, in drills '{ to 4 lbs. Corn, in hills 8 qts. Corn, for soiling ' i bush. Clover, alsike 5 lbs.

It should he given to them every < few days; or, what is better yet, he kept in the pens where they can help themselves to it. When pigs are fed a large amount of hearty food their stomachs become disorder- j ed and they need sulphur and charcoal to j neutralize the acidity and to correct the con dition of their stomachs. When it is given ; ito them plentifully they will eat better, digest more, and are freer from bowel disor-j ! tiers. These correctives help to keep the j blood pure and the skin free from affections. | When hogs have these correctives their flesh 1 j must be healthier. We have had hundreds J i of hogs and never a case of cholera, which i | we attribute to the healthful effects of plenty j of charcoal and sulphur together with the ! succulent feed. A long-continued corn diet j will invariably produce fever and more or less inflammation of thestomach and bowels. Convexi knck.?The successful farmer is j he who provides conveniences for the care of i his property and the performing of his work ; | : he counts time as an important item in the yearly calculat ion and care of all his various1 effects as a factor in the annual returns.! When lie puts the horse in the stable there is | a place for the harness, where it will be safe ! from weather or any other damage; his wag- j ons and tools are provided with coverings to j preserve them ; about his premises will be found a little shop or room where he keeps i saws, hammers, vises, augurs and various] tools that are needed to mend and put in 1 order the dill'erent maehines he uses. These simple articles prevent days and weeks j of delay, besides adding to the length of the | time the implements will last. It pays to j have conveniences, and also to get what you do buy of good quality. ? TO IXCKKASK THK VlKLD <?K MlI.K.?A I farmer writes to an exchange: If you desire to get a large yield of rich milk give your j cow every day water slightly warm and slightly salted in which bran has been stirred at the rate of one quart to two gallons of water. You will lind, if you have not tried this daily practice, that your cow will give i twenty-live per cent, more milk immediately under the effects of it, and she will become j so attached to the diet as to refuse to drink clear water unless very thirsty. Hut this) mess she will drink almost any time, and ask for more. The amount of this drink i necessary is an ordinary water-pail at a time i ?morning, noon ami mgiii. i jfUiscrUaucous |lratlitiji Dkkams and Theik Conditions.?Dreum are night-thoughts, unchecked by the judg ment and uncontrolled by the will. It is no true that we do not reason in dreams, tha the exercise of the judgment is wholly sus pendcd, and that the will is entirely power less and ceased to act. These faculties ar< not altogether in abeyance, but they dozi while the subordinate powers of the mind? those which play the part of picture carrier and record finders?ransack the treasure! of memory and mingle together in dires confusion, old things and new. Imagina tion is not active, but it remains just enougl awake to supply the connecting links whicl seeming continuity to those parts of tin phantasmagora which we chance to rcmem ber on recovering perfect self-consciousness and which, being remembered, we cal "dreams." No one remembers more thar one dream, unless he has roused from sleej more than once. This experience has led t( the infcreuce that dreams only occur at tin moment or in the act of awaking. Then are dreams which take place in the process o returning to consciousness?for example those instantaneous scenes and spectacles 1 T_ i.~J i... 4Ua ~~..?,1 ? wnicn i'.re suggcsicu vy me auuuu ui iccimj. that rouses the dreamer; but, in result of i long and close study of the subject with r view tc discover the nature of dreams, anc the laws of dreaming, for medical purposes in connection with the treatment of sleep lessness, I am persuaded that dreams occui in the course of sleep and are wholly for gotten. That they do not and cannot take place ir deep sleep is probable, because deep sleep is general sleep, and when this state prevails the subordinate fuculties are sleeping, and the pictures and records, which compose dreams are not disturbed. To understand dreams we must understand sleep, and it is because the two phenomena have not hitherto beer studied together, that so little isgenerallj known about either. Mistaken Kindness.?Every one has read the story of that down-east woman who when entertaining her pastor at tea, pourec so much molasses into his cup (she coulc not afford the luxury of sugar) that he re monstrated, whereupon she assured him thai if it were "all molassess it would not be t bit too good for him." Through the verj kindness of her heart she erred. Now then are a great many people like this worth} woman. They will not allow their guests to cry "enough." Their habit of "heap ing" food, and giving a little and considera hie more than is asked for has uothing to b< said in its favor, and a great deal against it Unless one has a strong, firm appetite tha only an earthquake or tempest could affect a large quantity of food is appalling. It ii much pleasanter to send one's plate to hav< it repienisnea, man to ue oongeu 10 ieuvt food upon the plate. In order to clear thi plate one is prone to overeat, from the idei of saving the food. Economy does not sig nify a lack of plentifulress or stinginess. I means enough for each and all, and nothing is wasted, and when food is served in over abundance, waste must be the result, unless indeed, the surplus is gathered togethe again?the simple idea of which is disgust ing. Moreover, it is a comfort to get jus what one usks for?if "half a cup of tea,' that much and no more. ? Memorizing the Books of the Bible Recently quite a task has been undertake! by the pupils of the Sunday-school of tin First Presbyterian church. This is to mem orize and recite in public the books of thi Bible in regular order. Many of the chil dren have successfully accomplished it, fo which their kind superintendent has givei them Bibles. There is, however, one parti cular case which is worthy of special men tion, that of the little daughter of Mr. W. J Woodward and granddaughter of Mr. B. G Worth, who on last Sunday afternoon, in tin presence of the school, distinctly and correct ly performed this task. The Bible presentee this little one bears on the fly leaf the fol lowing inscription : "Given to Elizabetl Woodward, April 30th, 1893, by the Firs Presbyterian Bible school. This is to certi fy that this little girl, only four and a hal years old, recited correctly in public, tin names of the sixty-six books of the Bihle W. M. Cumming, superintendent." Proba bly no one so young, in any of our Sunday schools, has made the effort to retain an< recollect so many difficult names. Mis; Elizabeth is to be congratulated, and w< doubt not but many older may gain en couragement from what she has done am persevere until they succeed.?Wilmingtoi Messenger. An Injurious Practice.?The practici of keeping children after school hours as i punishment, has nothing to recommend it Pretty nearly every school house in the lam is thus turned into a penitentiary, in whicl children are immured every day, some o them for imperfect recitations, for faults o deportment. This method of punishmen might, if the teachers were all judicious, bi resorted to occasionally with good ell'ect but teachers are not all judicious, and thou sands of children arc thus detained ever; day, to whom the detention is serious injury and a grave injustice. For some triflinj breach of order, like turning in the scat o dropping a pencil, for some small failure ii a recitation, or a similar trifle which cai scarcely be called a fault at all, the childrei are shut up in the school houses, sometime during the intermission, often after the clos of school. Thousands of children in health to whom the regular school hours are to< long, are permanently injured by this sys tern of confinement. A Compromise.?An English justice sen tenced a couple to matrimony under circum stances which seem legally just, nlthougl legally curious. A young man and youiij woman were contesting possession of a piec of property, the one claiming it under ai old lease, the other under an old willr "I strikes me," said the justice, "that there is i pleasant and easy way to terminate the oh lawsuit. The plaintiff appears to be a re spcctnble young man, ami this a very nic young woman. They can both get marriei and live happily on the farm. If they gooi with law proceedings it will be fritterei away among lawyers who, I am sure, ar * --- - II * 1. 1 iL.. ? : uoi uuguiiaiu enougu 10 \\ ine marriagi not to come oil."

Read what the editors of the New York Re ) corder, one of the leading papers of New York s and The Insurance Agent, a leading insurants " I journal, of New Orleans, have to say about it. j [From the New York Recorder.] ! Edward R. Harper, president of the Mutur " I Reserve Fund Life Association, was on c of tl r i proudest and happiest men in New York yester l day, and not without good reason. For twelv< . I years Mr. Harper lists been making annual re ) ports to this Association. "When he was lira " | elected its president the association was at besl | but a struggling concern. . | The idea upon which it was founded was sound a I but the great insuring public had not learned tf " I have confidence in it. As soon as Mr. Harpei " took hold of the presidency there was a market 1 change in all this. He introduced new ideas . | and slowly but surely broadened the policy o j this now great company. I The growth was not of the mushroom order 1 I but was gradual and firm. Each vear M r. Harp - er saw his endeavors to widen the scope of hi! fj company bear rich fruit, until today it stand: j alongside of the greatest and wealthiest insu e ranee companies of the age. This happy state of affairs is due to Mr. Harp . er's untiring energy and the absolute confi dcnce the public has in his capacity as a man " ager. His report to the officers, directors ant 1 members of the Association, made yesterday s gives occasion to all to renew their congratula B tions to Mr. Harper. He has simply, by hi: able management, broken all previous record: and surpasses even the most sanguine expecta i tions of the members of the Association, i Every one expected to see an increase of busi ness; but it is safe to say that no one expected t< see the phenomenal results stated by Mr. Harpe; achieved. e The showing is simply unprecedented in tin annals of life insurance companies, and Mr Harper may be pardoned for feeling proud o ' his great work. ^ [From The Insurance Agent, New Orleans, La.] I The agents of this progressive life insuranci f company are writing up a large percentage o f i the new business acquired in the South. Sine: II our last issue,policies in the Mutual Reserve havi ^ | been issued for 81(H),000 on six brothers, tin c j .Messrs. Mitnert, luniDcr men at riaqueiuiuc ; La. This was a notable achcivenient, as eompe . tition for these applications was active, anil tin Mutual Reserve's plans coin in ended themselvei ' to tiie applicants as the best otl'ered. The pro , Rress of this company is gratifying to its host o r j friends. It issues a policy with no restrietioi p ! upon travel, change of residence or occupation incontestible alter three years, and a cash sur I render value after fifteen ye -rs. Official exam i illations of the books and accounts of the M utua a Reserve Fund Life Association by the conunis I sioners of nearly all the States of the Union hnv j ing insurance departments, confirm the truthful e ; ness of the accounts as presented by the officer , of the company in their annual statements, am Q show that every dollar of tlie income was prop erly applied and every honest deatli clain " promptly paid in full. It can truthfully be said that whenever there is delay in payment of i I claim, it is in some such instance as that referrei _ | to our last issue, where a policy was obtained b; " | a gross misstatement of the facts warranting th -1 company in resisting the demand until th li ! merits of the case could be passed upon by tin ?; highest tribunal. It is often said that there i " nothing so successful as success. .Judged by thi e standard, the Mutual Reserve is beyond crit n I icism. II The Association is pushing for new busines | with a success which must be very gratifying t< . President Harper. We commend the company 1 j unoualiliedly, to all who wish the protection at !- j lorded by a liberal policy in a strong, conserva e j live and aggressive association. 1 | ii The Mutual Reserve furnishes absolute protec 1 tion at about HALF the rat cm charged by tin I old line companies.

We have for a number of years been in the habit of using Buggies as premiums, and experience has taught us that such a premium meets with gen- _ eral approval. At first we offered Cin . cinnati Buggies, worth about $55, but | found that while they were all that | was claimed for them, they were not of a grade that fully met the require- 55 ments of this section, and our two last Er * offers in Buggies have been the product *=? of our own "Carolina Buggy Company," which is acknowledged to be a ? I leader in the manufacture of high grade! fi vehicles. These buggies met with the j * endorsement of our friends. They j knew that the winner of the buggy! 5 would get something of which any j ^ man might well be proud. Fully re- j ? alizing the standing and reputation ofj 5 the "Carolina," we have arranged to! ^ offer one of the Company's best I ^ $90.00 Open Buggies j ^ as a premium to the club maker who j ? 1 returns and pays for the largest 1111111-; ^ t ber of subscribers between the dates) r l named above. ^ ) East year we offered one premium and for the summer campaign, but this ) year we propose to give everybody a r chance.

HAVE been handling agricultural Machinery and Implements for the past four years, and never since I have been in tbe business, have I sold any implement or machinery of anykind nybody that did not give perfect satisfaction, and which the purchasers do not say are time money-savers. No farmer will say that I have induced him to buy something that did not hie him to plant, sow, cultivate or gather his crops at less expense as to time and labor than r before, and that there is 110 comparison as to the character of work done. I am proud of this >rd, and perhaps some of my friends would like to know how it lias been made. their information I will say that it has been accomplished by NOT SELLING EXPERIINTS. I have made it a rule never to handle any machine or implement unless it was recogsd as a complete success and was entirely adapted to the needs of this section. The following is it of my specialties: HE BUCKEYE BANNER BINDER vithout doubt one of t lie greatest achievements of the nineteeth century. It does its work perly and can he handled with case bv TWO medium sized horses or mules. It Ls specially adapto the needs of this section. It will cut and hind TWENTY acres in a day.

They would save and make our people thousands of dollars every year. ;y would revolutionize our system of farming. I don't think there is a farmer in the county' j owns one that would be willing to sell out unless he was absolutely certain that he could get ther. The outlook is that I shall have to advance the price within GO days. You should buy liout a moment's delay. They are not likely to get cheaper. The signs point the other way. ' you need a smoothing harrow, and you do if you havent already got one, you should buy an ^ " ANS STEEL FRAME LEVER HARROW. They are the best tooth Harrows on the market. >y give satisfaction every time. If you want a cultivating and smoothing harrow the EVANS ISTERN TRIPPLE HARROW is the one to buy It has round teeth. Its most valuable ures and striking points are fully covered by letters of patent, and are used exclusively by its mfacturers. It will pay you to have one to run over your cotton and corn. You will tina the rrow to be a money maker. Send for illustrated circulars. SAM M. GRIST, Yorkville, S C.
