UNDER THE SNOW.
BY JOHN H. BONER.
This beautiful poem originally appeared
in the Salem (N. C.) Press. It is" one of the
, most beautiful genis that we have encoun?
tered in many days:
The brown old earth lies quiet and still
Under the snow;
The furrows are hid on the broken hill
Under the snow;
Every twig is fringed with mossy pearl,
The drooping cedars bend to the ground,
The rose bush is drifted into the mound,
And still from the silent sky to the
ground
The white Hakes noiselessly whirl.
The roads and fields are burieji deep
Under the snow;
The hedges lie in a tangled heap
Under the snow;
And the little gray rabbits under them
creep,
While the twittering sparrows cunningly
peep, ?
From the sheltering briers and cozily sleep,
Under the snow.
The rough old bam and sheds near by,
The mounded straws of the wheat and rye,
Are covered with snow ;
The straggling fences are softened with
down,
Every part is white, with a beautiful crown
Of drifted snow.
And I think, as I sit in the gloaming here,
Watching the objects disappear.
How many things are folded low
Under the drift of the falling snow!
There are hearts that once were full of love
Under the snow;
There are eyes that glowed with the soul of
love
Under the snow;
There are faded tresses of golden hair
And locks that were bleached with the frost
of care
There are lips that once were like the tose, j
There are bosoms that were stung with
? woes,
There are breasts that once were true and
strong,
There are forms that once were praised in
song,
0, there's a strange and mighty throng
Under the snow!
Another mound will once lie deep
Under the snow!
And I will With the pale ones sleep
Under the snow.
0, God, transform my soul with grace
That in the lovelight of thy face
I may stand pare when death shall place,
My pulseless heart and body low
Under the snow.
IN THY GOOD TIME.
In Thy good time, dear Lord, In Thy good
time,
I shall find rest,
Far from the strife and tumult of the world,
In regions blest.
After the heat and turmoil of the day,
The quiet night,
With fragrant breeze, while silver stars look
down
With softened light.
After the heat and burden of life's day,
The quiet grave,
Rest for the weary frame and aching head,
Where sweet flowers wave.
After the storm upon the billowy deep,
The gentle calm
Fierce winds are hushed and soothing gales
steal down
Like healing balm.
After the storm upon life's billowy deep,
I shall find peace?
That blessed peace, in realms of holy joy,
Where sorrows cease.
In patience, Lord, I wait for Thy good
time,
When Thou wilt come
To take me to Thy everlasting rest,
My heavenly home.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C, April 6, 1876.
A BITTER PILL FOB THE REPUBLICANS
was the Connecticut election on the 3d
inst. They are whistling very loud to
keep their courage up.. The Washington
King Organ announces "Large Republi?
can gains in Connecticut," in a head line,
and underneath, they give the returns
from that State, which show that the
Democrats have 18 in the Senate, to 3
Republicans, a gain of four over last
year; and 159 Democrats, to 85 Repub?
licans and 2 Independents, in the lower
House, a gain of 22 over last year. This
gives a Democratic majority of 87 on
joint ballot. Ingersoll, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, has a majority of
7,514 over the Republican candidate, a
gain of 966 over his majority of last year.
There were a "Greenback" and a Prohi?
bition candidate who polled each about
1,900 votes, so that one offset the other,
which leaves the regular Dremocratic
gain as above stated. These returns will
have reached your readers by telegraph
before they see this; but experience
proves that the Associated Press reports
are frequently manipulated in the Re?
publican interest; and I have thought it
worth while to state the precise facts.
One immediate result of the Democrat?
ic gains ia Connecticut will be to in?
crease the chances of Senator Conkling
for the Republican nomination for the
Presidency! He has two elements of
strength. He is "in" with the Grant
Bing, and he is supposed to have great
strength in New York; and nothing is
more certain than that it will be necessa?
ry to carry that State, to win. We may
expect, therefore, to see the Administra?
tion use every means possible to secure
New York in the coming election. It
will not do for the Democratic party to
underestimate the immense power
Grant wields through the New York
Custom House, and other Federal pat?
ronage to counteract this power must be
done. There is a very generally express?
ed opinion, among leading Democrats
here, that we may expect a bitter fight
for the possession of New York State,
and that we must arrange our plans for the
campaign with that fact in view.
THE P05T-TBADEBSHIP INVESTIGATION
has involved another of Grant's special
friends, Simon Wolf, a prominent Isreal
ite of this city, who secured Presidential
favor by naming a child "Ulysses S.
Grant Wolf," and got, shortly after, the
office of Recorder of Deeds of the District
of Columbia, which is estimated to be
worth fully $15,000 per year. Wolf is
well known in Washington as one of the
few men on terms of intimacy with Grant,
from whom he has secured numerous
marks of favor in the shape of appoint?
ments for his friends. His influence was
sufficiently strong to secure the appoint?
ment of a Chicago Isrealite named Solo?
mons, as Governor of one of the Western
territories, a few years ago; a position
from which he was forced to retire, soon 1
after, under suspicious circumstances.?
It now appears that Wolf was connected
with the sale of a certain post-tradersbip, {
and received $250 for his influence with
the President and Secretary Belknap.
Wolf denied this at first; but when re?
called to the stand, on Tuesday, he made
a more feeble denial, saying that he did
not remember that he had received $250
I from any person except, possibly, in a
"professional" way. Other witnesses will
be put on the stand to revive Mr. Wolfs
memory, after which it is Mr. Clymer's
intention to have him indicted for perju?
ry. Oertainly, when the lightning strikes
so near "the old man"?when it caroms
on his warmest friends, and even on his
own brother?the public is justified in
believing it quite possible that the pend?
ing investigations will ultimately incul?
pate even the Chief Executive, himself.
If it does not, the world will surely cease
to credit the assertion that "a man is
known by the company he keeps."
a point in the republican game,
in both Houses, is to provoke, by taunts
and jeers, the members who were identi?
fied* with the late Confederate States Gov?
ernment, especially those who served in
in the Southern army, into unguarded
utterances. In the Senate, their target,
for some time, has been Geueral Gordon,
of Georgia, than whom a more courteous
gentleman in debate does not occupy a
seat in the Senate. Senator Gordon, as
is generally known laid down his arms
with Lee, at Appomattox, and has never
violated his parole. And yet, Morton
and his brother Radicals have hurled
their envenomed shafts at him repeated?
ly, hoping to provoke him into an angry
and unguarded reply. "The devil on two
sticks," as the witty Don Piatt styles the
senior Senator from Indiana, recently
called Gordon "a living monument of the
magnanimity of the Republican party,"
fondly hoping that the Georgia Senator,
in reply, would say something which he,
Morton, and his followers, could quote
from the political stump, to prove that
the Southern people are still unrepentant
and unreconstructed. The Georgia Sen?
ator was wise enough to treat Morton's
gibe as it deserved to be treated?with
dignified silence.
hon. b. a. willis,
[of New York, who introduced the "com?
promise" financial bill which has attract?
ed such general attention, is one of the
most energetic and efficient members of
the House. Few men succeed, during
their first term in Congress, in attaining
so prominent a position as Mr. Willis
has already achieved. Whatever may be
the final action npon his bill, which is
one of the most important before Con?
gress, there can be no questions as to the
ability and thought displayed in its
preparation; and, should it be adopted
as a means of compromise on the money
question, by both parties, as Mr. Willis
expects, it will confer an honorable fame
upon its author.
"they fall as the leaves fall."
The telegraph will have informed you
of the indictment, and arrest, of U. S.
Senator S. B. Conover, of Florida, for the
embezzlement of $40,000. This is truly
a hard year for Republican office-holders.
Spencer is expecting a coat of whitewash,
and he will probably get it, as much of
the most important evidence against him
has been excluded by the committee.?
He will commence to offer evidence for
the defense to-day. Whatever may be
the report of the committee, the people
are not to be deceived. Two other Rad?
ical Senators are understood to be on
"the ragged edge," awaiting disclosures
of frauds in which they are implicated.
Political graves are being dug for a large
number of gentlemen high in the Repub?
lican party, and on their tombs will be
inscribed, "Eicjacet?Gone to meet Bel
knap." No wonder the National Repub?
lican think that "these Congressional in?
vestigations are doing more harm than
good."
Something of Interest to Plan?
ters.?If the following described ma?
chine will do what is claimed for it, it is
bound to work a revolution in the cotton
growing region, which will add im?
mensely to the profits of producers of the
staple. The Augusta Chronicle and Sen?
tinel says that Mr. William H. Howard,
of Augusta, has received a letter from
Mr. V. M. Barnes, of Clay Hill, Lin?
coln county, which asks his support of a
new enterprise. The enterprise of which
he writes is the "Clements attachment"
?a machine by means of which seed
cotton, as it comes from the field, can be
converted into yarn better than any ex?
cept hand-made. The machine is at?
tached to a common card stand, and
gently frees the cotton lint from seed,
dirt and motes, and delivers it in a roll to
the spindle. It has a capacity of one
hundred and fifty bales a year, and costs,
with royalty included, only two hundred
and fifty dollars. The inventor claims
that it will make a thread thirty-three
and one-third per cent, better in strength
and evenness than any yarn that can be
made from ginned cotton. He says that
its use saves the costly and dangerous
f>icker rooms, saves lapping and double
apping, five-sixths of the carding and
other machinery, besides the cost of gin?
ning, bagging, ties, compressing, etc.
There is a mill containing four of these
machines in operation in Corinth, Mis?
sissippi, and the owner writes that he re?
cently manufactured yarn from a very in?
ferior lot of cotton, costing from 1J "to 2
cents per pound in the seed, which sold
25 cents per pound; some of it was
ginned ana the yarn from this sold for
only five cents per pound. Mr. Barnes
is confident that yarn from middling cot?
ton made by this machine will bring 25
cents, when middling in the bale sells
for 10 cents. Mr. Barnes wishes to start
an establishment with these machines at
Raysville, with 1,800 spindles, giving a
capacity of six hundred bales of cotton
per annum, which can be readily ob?
tained in the neighborhood. He is con?
fident that such a mill will pay a very
large profit, andhe is anxious to get a few
gentleman of Augusta to take stock in
the enterprise.?EufauJa Times.
"Must Tink Roschiles Am Playin'
Dis Game."?Some darkies, it is said,
started a faro bank somewhere in town
a short time since, on a small scale.?
Their funds were limited, and no one
was allowed to bet over ten cents at a
time. A man from Allen County was in
tbe city seeing what be could see, and in
his rambles came upon the darkey faro
bank. He pulled out a five dollar bill,
bought its worth in chips and put them
on the jack. The dealer was busy, and
at first did not see tbe big pile of chips,
and commenced dealing. He all at once
looked up, saw Allen County's pile, and
inquired: "Who's dat got dat pecamid
ondatjack?" Allen County, not know?
ing the rules of the game, very sternly
remarked, "That's mine." The dealer
gazed at him for a moment and replied :
"Pull her down from dar; you must tink
Roschiles am playin' dis game." Allen
County "pulled her down from dar," but
we do not know whether he thought he
was in "Roschiles" presence or not.?
Bowling Green [Ky-) Democrat.
? Statistics show that the world is in
debt several billions of dollars. The
young man who says it owes him a living,
would do well to look after his claim, or
he may lose it.
The Sun as a Curative Agency.?
Dr. Ponza, director of the Lunatic Asy?
lum at Alessandria (Piedmont), having
conceived the idea that the solar rays
might have some curative power in dis?
eases of the brain, communicated his
views to Father Secchi, of Rome, who
replied: "The idea of studying the dis?
turbed state of lunatics in connection
With magnetic perturbations, and with the
colored, especially violet light of the sun,
is of remarkable importance." Such
light is easily obtained by filter?
ing the solar rays through a glass of
that color. "Violet," adds Father Secchi,
"has somethiug melancholy and depress?
ive about it, which, physiologically, cau?
ses low spirits; heuce, no doubt, poets
have draped melancholy in violet gar?
ments. Perhaps violet light may calm
the nervous excitement of unfortunate
maniacs." He then, in the letter, ad?
vises Dr. Ponza to perform his experi?
ments in rooms the walls of which are
painted of the same color as the glass
panes in the windows, which should be
as numerous as possible, in order to favor
the action of solar light, so that it may
be admissible at any hour of the day.
The patients should pass the night in
rooms oriented to the east and south,
and painted and glazed as above.
Dr. Ponza, following the instructions of
the learned Jesuit, prepared several
rooms in the manner described, and
kept several patients there under ob?
servation. One of them, affected with
morbid taciturnity, became gay and affa?
ble after three hours' stay in a red cham?
ber; another, a maniac who refused all
food, asked for some breakfast after hav?
ing stayed twenty-four hours in the
. same red chamber. In a blue one, a
highly excited madman with a strait
waistcoat on was kept all day; an hour
after he appeared much calmer. The
action of blue light is very intense on
the optic nerve, and seems to cause a
6ort of oppression. A patient was made
to pass the night in a violet chamber; on
the following day he begged Dr. Ponza
to send him home, because he felt him?
self cured; and indeed he has been well
ever since. Dr. Ponza's conclusions
from his experiments are these: "The
violet rays are, of all others, those that
possess the most intense electro-chemical
power; the red light is also very rich in
calorific rays; blue light, on the contra?
ry, is quite devoid of them as well as of
chemical and electric ones. It? benefi?
cent influence is hard to explain ; as it
is absolute negation of all excitement, it
succeeds admirably in calming the fu?
rious excitement of maniacs."
Causes of Failure?A prize was
once offered in a large college to the one
who should give the best answer to this
question: "What was the secret of suc?
cess?" The student who bore off the
palm merely wrote one word: "Determi?
nation." This was the whole thing in a
nutshell. The lack of determination will
as surely lead to failure as determination
will insure success. We often know
what is right, and feel a desire to do it,
and still fail in the resolution to begin
work. We sometimes begin the work,
and then drop it for the want of deter?
mination and perseverance. Then we
have a failure to chronicle. Not only a
failure, but a fearful inroad has been
made into a perfect, strong character.
The world is teeming with full grown
men and women who Tack firmness, de?
termination, executive power, and will.
No moral culture is complete that does
not give this kind of strength to charac?
ter. The world is teeming with full
grown men and women who lack firm?
ness, determination, executive power, and
will. No moral culture is complete that
does not give this kind of strength to
character. Parents should see that their
children are.net forming the habit of
beginning things, and then laying them
aside before they are completed. Set
th'em an example of courage and deter?
mination to begin a work and go through
it resolutely. Measure their capacity,
and induce them to work up to it. Spare
no time or pains to incalculate. habits of
Eerseverance?no pains to teach them to
ave confidence in their own powers. A
child has a great service done him when
he is induced to read the biography of a
good and great man. Such biographies
should be numerous in every family.?
Children will rise from the reading of
them with more admiration for noble
deeds, and a greater desire to do them.
Parents often grieve over a child who
has a strong will, but they should be
thankful for it. 'Tis true a strong will in
a child may put parents and teachers
who do not know now to control it to
some inconvenience; but it is a nobler
gift than the gift of genius. We live in a
wonderfully progressive age. Such would
not be the case were it not for men and
women of strong will?of determination.
Success and the highest virtues are unat?
tainable without it.
Too Much Cotton.?Bishop Pierce,
in a letter to the Southern Christian Ad?
vocate, offers the following rational advice
to his countrymen:
Verily King Cotton, like other kings,
is consuming the substance of the peo?
ple. Prosperity in this article of produc?
tion, it seems "tendoth to poverty." A
very heavy crop has been made, and yet
the people are on the "ragged edge" of
insolvency. The more we talk the poorer
we grow. And yet the desperate bet is
laid on another crop, in the face of ten
years' unbroken uniformity of the results.
The heathen adage, "Whom the gods
mean to destroy they first make mad,"
is being actualized. No soil, no fertili?
zer, no seasons, will save the country on
the line of its present agricultural policy.
The result is just as disastrous on the
virgin soil of Texas as on the wasted
lands of Georgia. The man who loses
money in making ten bags of cotton, will
lose yet more in the production of a hun?
dred. This is the fact in experience, in
spite of theory and figuring. Forgive
this episode, for I am really distressed at
the prospects of tho country, financially.
Bad government may destroy us and our
property, but no legislation can lift us
out of the present "slough of despond,"
without home supplies. Bread and meat
must be made, not bought. The great
burden of expense lies right there. The
stomach costs more than the back. Make
bread, raise meat, live at home, be self
supporting. Neither inflation, uor con?
traction, nor the financial plank in the
coming platform, will save us. Help
must come out of the ground, in bread
stuffs. You may go to Texas?all cottou
will swamp you ; you may stay in Geor?
gia and grow fat and rich on peas, pota?
toes, wheat and corn. Let us fill our gar?
ners with all manner of store; then our
oxen will be strong to labor, our sheep
will bring forth thousands; then there
will "be no breaking in nor going out"
in quest of food?plenty and peace will
hush "complaining in our streets," and
we shall be a happier and better people.
Filling Teeth by Electricity.?A
dentist of Philadelphia has invented a
little machine lor putting the filling into
teeth, which is thus described: A simple
cylinder holds a small plunger, which is
fastened to a spiral spring inside, so that
it can move up and down within the cyl?
inder. At one end of the cylinder is a
piece of insulated iron, which is turned
into a magnet by an electrical current,
the attractive force of which is opposed
to the spring. A simple automatic at?
tachment to the plunger breaks the cur?
rent and releases the magnet. The result
is that the plunger, as soon as the cur?
rent is applied, begins to move back and
forth with as great rapidity as the con?
nection of the magnet and battery can
be made and broken. This depends
somewhat on the distance through which
the plunger passes. As in this instru?
ment that distance is very small, tho ma?
chine will deliver several hundred blows
a minute; indeed, so fast as almost to
produce the impression of a continuous
pressure. A small I atfc sry works it at a
cost of about twenty cents a day.
More Capital to the Acre.?It is
obvious to all who give the subject any
consideration that in order to make a
farm profitable, it must be run to its full
capacity. To do this requires a definite
amount of capital to the acre, just as
much as the space within the factory
walls needs to be fully occupied with the
most improved machinery. Capital on
Western farms is found to be the most
productive, as a general rule, when in?
vested in stock. Exceptional cases are
common where surrounding circumstan?
ces show that grain raising is the most
profitable. In some localities butter
making has been found to pay beat. In
these, it will justify the farmer to either
sell off a portion of his land to increase
his working capital or hire capital and
keep more cows. In another locality,
remote from market, a flock of Merino
sheep may prove a better investment
than cash invested in a large area of land.
At all events, whether the farmer's capi?
tal be in the land or stock, he should
make full use of it. As a rule, stock
farms, especially dairy farms, are better
adapted to the constant employment of
every day in the year than are grain
farms. To make farming successful, ei?
ther on grain or on stock farms or on
both combined, the plans for conduct?
ing them should be so well arranged that
no one about the place?either employer
or the hired laborers?should at any time
be without something to do that will be
profitable during the entire year. The
speculative tendency should be checked;
the holding of large areas of land with
view to making a large profit in its in?
creased value in the future. This is too
common. Taxes and interest on bor?
rowed money are more than a match for
constant labor. Better to sell a portion
of the land to raise money to properly
stock the remainder. All land that is
not used is an incubus on the farmer's
prosperity, and some kind of a returu,
either in the farm of grain, stock or other
products, should be exacted from each
acre of land owned. To make the farm
pay, sufficient capital to the acre must
be used to work the farm up to its full
capacity of productiveness.?Rural
World.
Tell Your Wife.?If you are in
trouble or a quandary, tell your wife?
that is, if you have one?all about it at
once. Ten to one her invention will
Bolve your difficulty sooner than all your
logic. The wit of woman has been
praised, but her instinct is keener than
her reason. Counsel with your wife or
mother, or sister and be assured light will
flash upou your darkness.
Women are too commonly adjudged as
verdant in all but purely womanish af?
fairs. No philosophical student of the
sex thus judges them. Their intuitions,
or instincts, are the most subtle, and if
they cannot see a cat in the meal, there
is no cat there. In counseling a man to
tell his trouble to his wife, we would go
farther, and advise him to keep none of
his affairs secret from her. Many a home
has been happily saved, and many a for?
tune retrieved by man's full confidence
in his better half. Woman is far more a ?
seer and prophet than a man, if she be a
fair choice. As a general rule, wives
confide tbe minutest of their plans and
thoughts to their husbands, having no
involvements to screen from them. Why
not reciprocate, if but for the pleasure of
meeting confidence with confidence ?
We are certain that no man succeeds so
well in tbe world, as he who, taking a
partner for life, makes her the partner of
all his purposes and hopes. What is
wrong of his impulses or judgment, she
will check and set right with her almost
?universally right instincts. "Help meet"
was no insificant title as applied to man's
companion. She is a meet help to him
in every darkness, difficulty, and sorrow
of life. And what she most craves and
most deserves, is confidence?without
which love is never free from shadow.
Watering Horses After Feeding.
?Probably one-half of our farmers prac?
tice watering their teams immediately
after eating. There is nothing about the
stable economy worse than this, except,
perhaps, allowing the animal to go al?
together uncleaned from day to day. A
large portion of water drank by horses
especially when large quantities are
given, goes directly to the intestines, and
if given immediately after eating carries
a considerable portion of undigested food
with it, to be voided whole or nearly so.
Thus the contents of the stomach are
washed out of it before digestion takes
place, and the food is entirely lost.
Some years ago experiments were made
in Edingburgh, with the following re?
sults : Old horses were fed with split
peas and then supplied with water imme?
diately before being killed. It was found
that the water had carried the peas from
fifty to sixty feet into the intestines,
where no digestion took place at all.
Therefore the animal should be offer?
ed water before eating, and in no case
should they be given it immediately after
eating, except enough to just moisten the
food swallowed. \Ve have for years
practiced the plan of never allowing a
horse to drink more than a bucket of
water at a time. In nine cases in ten,
the animal will refuse more if offered
after the lapse of 6 or 10 miuutes. The
jule will apply to other stock, especially
to fattening stock. They should have
sufficient fluid only to answer the pur?
pose of digestion.
A Very Good Reason.?Judge Pit?
man came down /stairs the other day in
response to a call from his servant girl,
ana found standing at the front door a
man with a carpet-bag. The man said:
"Is your piano out of tune ?"
"No, I don't think it is," said the
Judge.
"Ain't you sure about it?"
"No; I never tried it to see."
"How long since it has been tuned?"
"It has never been."
"Then, of course, it ougl ' to be tuned
at once. You'll ruin it if you don't have
it attended to."
"I don't believe I will."
"Oh, yes, you will though. Nothing's
worse for a piano than standing un?
tuned."
"Do you think you can tune it?"
"Certainly I can."
"I don't believe you can," said the
Judge. ^
"I'd like to know why not. I never
saw a piano yet that I couldn't tackle."
"There's one mighty good reason why
you can't in this case."
'Td like to know what it is."
"You want me to tell you, do you ?"
"Yes."
"Well, it's because I havn't got any
piano."
Then the man put his carpet-bag un?
der his arm, rubbed his nose thought?
fully, and left.
? The latest discovery in the vegeta?
ble world is an incombustible tree found on
an island of New Caledonia, and called
by the natives the niaouli. If this trop?
ical tree exist in sufficient quantities, or
will propagate in our Southern States, it
is likely to prove an invaluable addition
to our present building materials. Chica?
go and Boston have proved to their sorrow
that iron, stone and bricks are no proof
against great fires; iron columns bend
with heat, marble cracks, and bricks
crumble. A wood that really is incom?
bustible, such as is promised from the
newly-found tree, would seem to meet
the case.
? A North Carolina negro thought he
could outrun a locomotive the other day
on the Air Line Road, and when he
picked himself up, after being thrown
twenty feet and landing on his head, he
said: "Yer don't ketch dis yer chile
doin' dat agin. It's a right Bmart won?
der I didn't tear dese britches clean
off."
? Why is a mad bull an animal of a
convivial disposition? Because he offers
a horn to every one he meets.

are the best and cheapest low priced machine made,
and have a national reputation for utility and du?
rability."?<The El ect ro-typor. Chicago.)
"The ANSON HARDY PAPER CUTTER Is by
far the best machine which can be obtained for a
less price than one hundred "dollars. It is of great
strength.
"These machines have always taken the highest
stand. If is the onjv -machine to which Is applied
the patent Movable Cutting Board. This device has
a reputation of itself; by it, the cutting board can
be instantly and accurately moved,so that a perfect
cut is insured. This is a very important point in
this machine, and one that Is possessed by no other.
It greatly .reduces the labor of preparation in work
ing thopaber backward and forward. We cansml
too sfrangly recommend the advantages of this par?
ent movable board. It is worth the price of this,
machine, and purchasers should ,fully undenttsndl
how highly it Is to be valued."?(Rowell's <fc Co.'n
