"do you know that next week will be the twentieth anniversary of our wedding?" "Is that so ? By George ! how the time flies! Why, I had no idea of it." Yes, we have been married almost twenty long years," she continued with something of n sigh. "You have been a good husband to me, darling." "And you have heen a blessed little wife to me, Susan. Come here till I kiss you. There!" "I was thinking today?I was thinking of?of " "Of that sickly-faced baboon who used to go home with you from prayer-meeting before I knew you?" he interrupted. "Who do you mean ?" "Why, that Brace fellow, of course." "Why, George, he wasn't such a bad fellow." "Wasn't eh? Well, I'd like to know a worse one. He didn't know enough to chew putty, and there you were as good as engaged to him." "Yes, George; but you know you were \ keeping company at the same time with that Helen Perkins." . ' That Helen Perkins! Wasn't Miss Per- ? kins one of the loveliest and prettiest young ladies in Liverpool ?" "No she wasn't! She had teeth like a ] horse!" "She did, eh? How about that stoopshouldered, white-headed Brace ?" ' "And such big feet as she had! Why ( George, she was the laughing-stock of the town." < "Not much she wasn't! She was a young s lady who would have made a model wife." "Then why didn't you marry her and all 5 her moles and warts and mushroon eyes." < Don't talk that way to me ! Her eyes were as nice as yours." { "They wasn't!" ? "They were! I believe you are sorry because you didn't marry Brace." ? "And I know you are sorry because you j didn't marry that beautiful and accomplished Miss Perkins!" "I am, eh ! I thought you said I had been a good husband to you ?" "And didn't you call me your blessed little wife ?"

The latter took a coupling pin with < him as he left the room, and I strolled out to < see what was up. "Look-a-heah, Abraham!" said the first, ( as the two came together, "I has cum down i heah prepar'd to hurt yo' mighty hard !" t "Better look out fur me, sah !" replied the second, as he waved the iron pin. j "Yes. I has come down prepar'd to hurt , yo', but Ize gwine to give yo' a chnnce. Ize s gwine ter be a gera'len, I is." "What sort o'chance?" j "Ize gwine to let let yo' 'pologize fur say- j in'.I was a no-account nigger." "I'll nebber do it!" "Look out, Abraham!" "Doan' you jump on me!" The man with the coupling pin was the 1 smaller of the two, and but for being armed 1 with that weapon would have been assaulted at once. The bigger man didn't quite like ^ the looks of things, but he felt bound to re- ' tire honorably, and after walking around and ( finding the other constantly on guard, he said: 1 "I reckon yo' was mighty busy to-day ?" 1 "Tolerably busy." < "Hain't got much time to study up ?" i "No, not much." "An' if you was broke all to pieces yo' j fam'ly would feel powerful bad ?" i "Who's gwine to broke me?"

' What Denomination.?Jay Cooke, in 1 1866, told the writer the following: "One ( day when I was putting government bonds ( upon the market, I was greatly annoyed by 1 the clerks telling me that there was an old man in the office who would do no business > with them and must see me. To get rid of 1 him, I went out. He said : " 'Mr. Cooke, I have got three thousand 1 dollars in gold in this bag. I can't do anything with it in the town where I live ; they 1 are circulating grocers' checks and every- s thing else for money, and I am frightened 1 lvnAanAA T tUlnl- T will Kti olinotn/1 If T rliunncA i uctauou x lunm x hui w vuvwwm ? i of it. Will you tell me on your word of) honor if these bonds are sound and right?' 11 "I replied: 'If they are not right, nothing 11 is right. I am putting all I have in the; t world into them.' < "After further conversation the man con-1 eluded to take them. ] "'What denomination will you have them j ^ in?' I asked. ( "This was too much for the man. He had !, never heard that word used in connection h with business. He scratched his head, and said: | j " 'You may give me five hundred in Old School Presbyterian, to please the old wo- ( man ; but I will take the heft of it in Pap-1 tist.'" i. The Cheapest Wives.?They were spin- j. ning yarns. One old man sat apart from the i others and looked sad and forlorn, as if he j' never thought of levity in all his life. "My wife has been one of the cheapest j' luxuries a man ever enjoyed,'' sum one. i "We have been married eighteen years, and i she has cost me less than a thousand dollars! all told." 11 "Pooh!" said another. "I have been i married nine years, and my wife's total ex-!' penses have been scarcely #300." The sad man drew a sigh and said : "Well, well! I was married forty years j( ago, boys, and from that day to this my wife i has cost me only #110, and she has had j! everything she needed, too." I < "How in the world did you get through ; so cheap ?" "The poor gal died the second week after j; I married her." |; The crowd spared his life because he was j sad. He Was With the Minority.?'The'< Pittsburg Dispatch heard a rather good story j on General Sherman the other day. Itoe-'i curred away back in 1S4(> while he was on ' the Pacific coast with the title of captain. |: For some reason or other his men took a vio-1 lent dislike to him, and after standing it as ' | long as they thought they could, they pre- < pared a petition requesting him to resign. J i The paper contained the signatures of all , but five of his company, and was handed to , him by a committee of three. When it was j presented Captain Sherman glanced over it,1. and said : "Has every man signed this?" "All but five," replied the spokesman. "All but five?" "Yes, sir." "Then will you kindly convey my thanks j! to the.se five, and say that I have decided to!1 remain with them." Lots of Beafx.?She was young, she \ was green, she was very new in Washington, j At a recent swell affair she had gone with !' the crowd into the refreshment room. I'res- j ' ently an elegant looking waiter, for all the r world like a foreign ambassador, bowed po-!( litely before her and murmured : "Is there :' anyone waiting on you, miss ?" "Sir? sir?" j( she stammered, in startled embarrassment. 1 "l'ardonnez moi. Is there any one waiting ' on you?" "Oh?" she said, blushing brightly. "No, sir, not in Washington.

Notwithstanding philanthropists and Inlian worshippers are continually assorting that all the Indian needs to make him a good citizen, is u fair chance, experience so far Iocs not show that as an industrious member of society he is a shining success, asserts a writer in the Boston Commercial Bulletin. There is no doubt that, as long as the young.'l ones are kept apart from their various tribes, and the influence of their example, they do get a sort of whitewashing that looks like civilization ; but the moment they jet back to the family tepee, and sec the rain dance, the war dance, or the scalp lance, they forget all they learned at school, ind are Indians the same as before. The recent uprising of the savages in New Mexico is conclusive evidence that they arc not to.be trusted under any circumstances; for the Navajocs have all they could ask for, in the way of land and opportunity, and iiave had nothing to complain of; all of which goes to prove that an Indian can 110 more change his nature than a leopard can change his spots, except that when he gets tired of one spot, he can go to another, which he generally does. He has been fed ind clothed and talked to and preached to, ind there has been the civilizing influence of Tankee schoolmarms thrown around him, until he ought to be an augel. About the only tangible result is, that the schoolmarm lias married some buck Indian, and instead of making him an angel, lie has made her a squaw. It is more than useless to refer to the nobility of Bed Jacket, Logan, Pontine, or (Back Hawk. If their nobility was not the mienation of-some morbid imagination, it certainly does not show up to any great decree in the Indian of today, for he is pure md simple a thief, a beggar, a loaicr, aim a worthless vagabond; physically, he is a miserable little bow-legged, round-should;d caricature of a man. There is not a single trace of nobility, manhood, or even ;leanliness# to be detected in him with the most pow'crful miscroscopc. When the iverage Indian dresses himself up in an old pair of army trousers, a dirty blanket, aud in old hat with a buzzard's feather in it, you ?ee him in all his esthetic splendor. There s one thing that will always be an insuperible obstacle in the way of the Indian becoming civilized, and that is the necessity of washing himself, for if there is any one thing that he hates worse than another, it s to come in contact with clean water. He will die first. The next greatest obstacle is the necessity of working ; for nobody ever saw an Indiin that would work. When the announcement was made, "by the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat thy bread," the Indian must be the exception that proves the rule. This lias heen demonstrated by the Indians in Kansas, namely thcKiekapoosnnd Powtawatamics, who had a tract of the best land in the State, numbering thousands of acres, given to them in severalty, (icneral Morgan, one sf the best Indian commissioners that the country has ever had, did his best to get hem to settle down on these lands and earn i living like other people, but they did not lake kindly to the plan, for it meant work. Occasionally you will find a half breed that will cultivate his farm and make quite i respectable stagger toward earning a hying; but this was never known of a fullblooded Indian. He is not of a social nature ; but, on the contrary, is morose and stolid. Nobody ever saw or heard an Indian laugh, it least I never did, and I have seen a good many of them. Once in a while a sort of grin will he noticeable on his dirty face, but that is all. One would naturally infer that the noble red man docs not care for money. He does not if he has to work for it; but as long as the government disburses it to him, he is sure to be present on pay day. Nobody has ever been able to convince the Indian that it is wrong to steal, and the man who makes i A- i- - 1...1 i my Headway 111 getting nun to uiku ijoiu ui the ten commandments, must eliminate the dug that says "thou shall not steal." The Indians do not appreciate the efforts af the government to educate the rising generation of the sons of the forest; this is shown by the fact that they think they aught to he paid for allowing their children to learn the white man's way of living. The Indian, while lie is quick to learn anything that requires observation, is slow in acquiring knowledge that requires any mental effort. No Indian ever learned mathematics. He has not a mathematical mind. It will take the average Indian boy a month to learn the multiplication table; but let liim get off in the bushes with another hoy and a deck of cards, and he will learn the relative value of a pair, or a flush, or three af a kind, with admirable celerity. One of the most difficult habits to break an Indian of is that of walking single file. No matter how wide the walk or road is, he insists on trotting along single file; the buck in front, and his squaw following some distance behind. If he is traveling along a road skirted with timber, he will invariably prefer to dodge along through the bushes at the side of the road rather than walk in the road itself. The average Indian has nothing like emotion in his nature. He regards as it an evidence of weakness, and not without some cause, to show any sign of wonder or surprise or astonishment at any sight or revelation, however strange. Take an Indian from the depths of the forest and drop him down in Broadway, New York, and he will evince no more surprise or wonder at the sights around him than if he had been to the mailer born. 1 IlflU l?> il liJili ivuu uiii\:iviivi; ha uiv tiluro aiul looks of the bucks : but the squaws all look alike. 1 never could tell one from the other. There arc a good many half-breeds in some of the tribes, especially anion}? the I'otawatomics. These have their homes scattered along the banks of the streams. Their homes vary according as the Indian or white man's nature prevails. If he is more like the former, lie will probably be contented with a wigwam : if the white man has the accendeney, he may aspire to a respectable house, lathed and plastered, and possibly painted. As an early riser he is not a success; and after he is up he loafs most of the time. He is in 110 sense industrious; this is particularly true of the full-blooded Indian, lie not only hates to work because he is lazy, but because the white man works, for he hates the white man and all of his ways. I believe the Indian will disappear before he can ever be made in any degree self-sustaining. Habits of industry are so foreign to Jus nature that it is like changing the nature of a lion into that of a horse to make him act like the race he has been taught for generations to hate. Washington and tick Spy.?It is painful to find that the father of his country practiced deceit down in Jersey. Klias Hou...I .... (11111)1, WI1U.M* r? ?n I'liiiivu, Itveals this side of Washington's character. He actually played a trick on Sir William Howe, and made him believe he had 12,000 men in his army about Morristown, when he had but 3,000. It seems that Howe had sent one of his innumerable spies, wiio were tories in New York and patriots in Philadelphia, to see what was going on about Morristown. The adjutant general found out the rogue and asked (Jencral Washington if he wouldn't have him arrested. No, said the crafty Virginian- and here 1 ipiote from ltoudinot? "hut ordered him to go home and immediately to draw returns from every brigadier in the army of the number of their brigades, making the army to consist of about 12,000 effective men, ete.; to place these in the pigeon holes of his desk, and then get introduced to the spy and invite him to lodge with him?to endeavor to get to sup with him alone.

Now that field work is about over, we j should give the tools which have hoen in use all summer some attention. Remember that the sun and rain will soon ruin any tool, no matter whether made of wood or iron, if exposed to their action any length of time. So stow away all the tools in a good dry shed, and as soon as possible go over them all and repair all breaks and repaint when I it is needed. This will not cost much, and it will save a great deal of worry and time I next spring. The mould boards of the plows should all have a good coat of coal tar, to prevent them from rusting. The cultivators should he cleaned, and all the working parts well oiled, so they will work freely and not rust during the. winter. Remember that if you put your tools away covered with mud and in need of repair, you will find them in this same condition next spring when you commence work again, and then you will have no time to repair them. It is in this way that so many tools are ruined. As soon as a part of a tool breaks, have it fixed whether it be a hoe or the sulky plow. v/ne, wry Ullfli, in jmssmg imuiigii wiv country, sees the plows where they were used lust, and the harrow at the end of the last field harrowed with it. This not only look? bad, hut it is a costly and shiftless method ol farming, and we are sorry to say it is practiced by a majority of our farmers. Do not think of buying new and improved tools until you learn to take care of the ones you have already. [Original.] THE SO J A BEAN. After two years' careful attention to the growth and feeding value of the soja bean, we have come to the conclusion that it will ! prove a great acquisition to the Southern j farmer. In addition to our personal experience, we have the testimony of Prof. Massey, of the North Carolina Experiment station, than whom there is no better authority on such subjects in the South. I have fed an average of twelve head of cattle and six horses upon soja beans from the 15th of July up to the present time and maintained them in good condition. The stalks, with their j half grown pods, being run through a fodder cutter. It has several advantages over any othei of the legumes, including the cowpea, for the South, subject as this section is to great heat and prolonged droughts. In the first place, it will stand a drought better than any plant I have ever seen. In fact, a drought that will destroy a corn and cowpea crop, /Inna nnt. in flip lpnst nnnear to check its lux MWV" "vv * " "*? 11 - ? uriunt growth or the setting of its root. In : the second place, the weight of the crop per ! acre is at least sixty per cent, greater than cowpeas. In the third place, the cost ol harvesting, when raised for the grain, is ali most nothing as compared with the cowpea j which we all know costs one-half their value to gather. In comparing this plant with the cowpea, we must remember that the sojn bean also belongs to the legume family, and is as good a renovator of the soil. It will grow as well upon poor land as any of the pea family ; and on ordinarily good soils, 01 on poor land with a little phosphate, will I produce more and richer green food than | any plant I know of. I have, for the two past seasons, seen il j cut up and put into the silo with corn, and it turns out a most excellent quality of en [silage. Professor (Jeorgeson, of the Kansas j Experiment station, who has been testing il j for several years, says the grain, when ground,'is the richest vegetable food known being n richer food even than cotton seed meal, and when first beginning to feed stock with it, too much should not be given. The soja bean may be planted any time from the 1st of May to the loth of June ! either between the hills of corn, drop I ping five or six beans in the hill, or what is J better, alone, as the soja bean is a gross j feeder, and in case of a drought, will take ! away much of the moisture of the soil fron j the corn. ! If planted alone, the rows may be tbrec i feet apart and five or six beans dropped ir I the drill, fifteen to eighteen inches apart The plants stand erect liked cotton ant ; grows to a height of from three to five feet Being of a bushy growth, and having no vine i it does not interfere with the cultivation o ; the corn as cowpcas do. If raised for hay j it should be cut when the blooms first bogii to make their appearance, and cured as yoi ; would clover hay, and in this case should l>< | sown more thickly than stated above, saj ! one bean every two inches in the drill. Ii ! may be used as green food for horses, catth i and hogs, which eat it greedily at any time from the first appearance of the flowers until frost. When raised for the grain, it should be al : lowed to stand until the leaves all drop j which they will do at frost, and the pod: [ become perfectly dry. The stalks shouh then be cut near the ground, and this is bet i ter done on a cloudy day, so that none maj be lost from shattering.

M. (IRIST. Food for Thought. You May Not Realize It, Hut there is not a shadow of doubt of t ho t fact that it is the duty of every man to make the best provision in his power for the 1'RO-: TKCTION of those dependent on him in case j he should be taken away by death, and no plan lias yet been devised that equals life insurance. In order to pet men to buy their insurance, some hiph-priced, level premium companies of late years have been sellinp insurance on the strength of a promise to j pay the insured a sum of money during his j lifetime, provided lie paid the company a stipulated sum annually for a certain number of years, or a certain sum to his family in case of death. The proposition, as made j by the smooth tongned solicitor, Sounds All Right, If not tested by the simplest rules of arithmetic. [Did you ever have an agent for a level premium company ask you to "tigger | out" how much YOU would make by carry- ; ing a policy in his company for a specified J number of years? Did you? Now honest.] i The hope of getting something out of an in- [ surance company himself, often misleads the ordinarily prudent man. Right here we de sire to say that nine times out of ten that if j the insured does not die in less than five years from the time one of these "pay-yon- j hack-during-your-life-tiine-policies" is written, every dollar is lost except the pittance given him as "paid up" insurance, as Official Statistics Prove j That nine men out often who buy this high priced insurance drop it in from three to I eight years because they are brought to realize that the burden is too great to carry. The companies know that their prices are double what they should lie, but they argue j that as long as they can catch "suckers" there j is no necessity for a reduction. You know j their expenses tire heavy, and, therefore, | large premiums must be collected from the i policyholders to meet them. Here are a i few salaries paid by one of the leading old line companies: President, $100,000 a year; two vice presidents, ?10,000 each, per annum ; and its treasurer, secretary, acI tuary, comptroller and auditor each receive I ?>0,000 per annum, or ?470,000 for the otliccrs named, without taking into account the princely sums paid minor olliecrs, agents, j "" ? " -? I..* etc. The rentier may noi icci any huchm in tliis matter, hut we desire right here to imI press one weighty truth, and that is that every farthing that is annually wasted by ) this and other like companies, comes out ol i the policyholders, and we ask, is it good! I business sense to be insured in a concern so i extravagant with the peoples' money? Now we insist I That- No Sensible Man, be he young or old, will buy any other kind I of insurance than that winch agrees to pay a J stipulated amount in cash to beneficiaries I named in policy at death of insured, whether the policy lias been in force one day or fifty years. Insurance of this kind should be I cheap. It should not cost a man forty-live years old over $is per SI,(KM) insurance. Statistics carefully gathered for the past fifty years prove that $IS will give iron clad protection, and leave a liberal sum over each year. The level premium stock company charges S'fT.l'T per$1,000 for the ago named above, or more than twice as much as experience proves is necessary. Now, dear reader, we desire to say that it appears to us that Common Business Sense should cause every man who has dependents, to insure his life for their protection, and ho ! should make it a point to gel iron clad protection at the lowest cost consistent with absolute safety, and to all who want this kind of insurance, we will say that we repre- i sent the STRONtiKST natural premium | insurance company in the world ; that it has a j larger surplus as compared to liabilities than any company of any kind, and that we can I furnish you with insurance at about half the j price charged by old line companies, and of a quality that is not surpassed in the world.: You are at liberty to decide this matter in <?? ! 11-iv but U'n !in> vlll'C licit if voll will investigate The Mutual Reserve FI ND I,IFF ASSOCIATION'S pnljeies, terms, standing, cte., yen will lie sure to: insure in it.

This principle induced Mr. Clioate to huy a Corhin Disk Harrow, and the following testimonial from him will show whether not he was disappointed after testing it: N kwpout, S. C\, Septemher 1<5,18ffl. Sam M. (Srist, Yorkville, S. C.: Dear Sir: I am highly pleased with my Corhin Disk Harrow, and can and do endorse what other practical farmers have said in reference to it. I tliink it a great lahor saving implement, and consequently a money saver. The first work I did with it was sowing wheat and oats last fall when the ground was extremely hard. By going over it two or three times, I had it iu tine condition, doing the work princiiiallv myself, and much quicker and easier than hy the old method of plowing in the grain. The next work was preparing for planting corn last spring hy running the Disk Harrow over land which had hcen broken with a two horse plow last fall. It put the land iu fine condition for planting. r Later on I used it for sowing peas on stuhhlc , land, without the assistance of a plow, and it did the work satisfactorily. I n addition to the above, there are a great many things for which it might be used with great advantage to the farmer. Now I desire to say a word to any who may ho thinking of purchasing a Corhin Disk Harrow and are afraid it will not prove satisfactory: I think all that is necessary to convince any one is to give it a fair trial. They will find it to he the very thing they need. If you wish to do so, you are at liberty to publish the above with my signature. Yours Truly, \Vm. Ciioatk. We have a few of the latest improved Corhin Disk Harrows in stock and you need one with which to put in your wheat and oats. Come and get it today. You will lose live times more by not buying one than we will hy not selling it to yon. I ll Vs < t i -i .\ u i ? rwnui i v uM State Agents, Yorkville, S (\ THE KING OF BIKES IS THE MONARCH.

You can propel yourself with <>NK-TlllKI> less exertion on a Monarch than any other machine, and this is because of the superiority of the Monarch hearings, which are controlled by the Monarch Cycle Company and used KXCH'SI YKI.Y on their machines. There is a dill'erence ofopinion as to which is the best tire made and also as to saddles, but you can get any saddle or tire you want on a Monarch, of course there are other good wheels on the market, but always bear in mind that the Monarch is King of Hicycles.
