LEARNING HM VALUE. "Just what I havo been expecting for about eovcn ^ yearst" ?aid Misa Pauline Worthington^ looking from an open let ter in her baud with a frowning brow. "I* i.ot your letter from Herbert, Linn f ' .pjp?tinned Mrs. Worthington, a tiny, ri?.'or-haircd old lady with a gentle expression. "Yea, mother. Essie Is very ill with low, nervous Ibver, and they want mc to conic und stay until sho is better.- Thc carriage will be sent at three o'clock, mother," and Mis? Pauline's eyes snapp ed. "I think it 1B about time Bert's tyranny over that little martyr was end ed. He's killing her." "Lina! He is your brother." "I can see II?B faults if he.is." "I never heard Essie complain." "She never would. Hut look nt her. Niuo years ago, when she was married, nhe was a lively sunbeam, so bright and !netty. Now, pale, quiet and reserved, 1er voice is seldom henrd. her smile Hei dorn scon. A wintry shadow of ber for mer rummer brightness ! Now ?ht? lins broker, down. You have seen her at home, but surely when ?he is here you ?co the chnnge." "Yes, dca', she ha? changed ; but fam ily cares-" "Han Louie changed so? She lias been twelve year? married." Mrs. 'iVorthington was silent. Louie was her oldest child, und presided over the homo in which her mother had boen a crippled prisoner for fifteen year?. She took all the household care, and had five children, and yet Louie had gained in beauty, and certainly in cheerful happi ness, nineo her marringe, eveu if the sport of girlhood was gone. "Henry appreciates Louie," said Lina ; "there lie? tue difference between her happiness and Essie's dejection. If there is any domestic trouble Henry and Louie ?hare it, while Herbert ?hifte it all ?in E sie. Ho is an habitual fault finder." "Perhaps, dear, Essie is not as good R housekeeper as Louie. Herbert may have cause to find fault." "Once in ten times ho may. I never saw a faultless house or housekeeper; but Iv'-u'e and her IIOIIHC nre thu nearest approach to perfection I ever did see." "You never spoke so before, Lina." "Because Louie and I thought it best not to worry vou with n trouble beyond your help. But firmly believing, as I do now, that Herbert in actually worrying' his wife into the grave, I intend to give him a leason; that ix, if you eau spare nie lo go ?" "You must go, dear. I can get along nicely." So when Herbert Worthington sent his carriage. Linn was quite ready for thc fourteen mile? drlvu to her brother'* house. It waa a holme wherein no evil spirit of repining und fault-finding should have fourni an ubode. Spneiou?, hand? noinely luruisbed, with well trained ser vants, and all the comfort? wealth could furnish, it seemed n perfect paradise to visitors. But a very demon lurkod thoro to poison all, nnd this demon Linn had como to exercise. For tho first fortnight Essie too!: all her timo and care, the gentle spirit hov ering very near ?bo portal of thu eternal home. Thcro was u buhu. too. ?ix months old, and it- wanta filled all tho ?pare momenta. Herbert snarled and f retted over domestic shortcomings, but Linn peremptorily forbade ."ll mention of ihe*o in the sick-room, having the doctor's authority for saying that tho patient's very life depended upon quiet. But when convalescence commcuccd. Lina sent Essie and tho baby to visit ola Mrs. Worthington, and took control of 1'eibcri, tho older children, and thc household, fully determined to show her brother how fur ho carried bia absurd habit of fault finding. Tho first dinnor saw tho beginning of tho lesson Lina meant to teach, by prac tically illustrating some of Herbert's ab surdities. Herbert entered tho dining room, his ?iun?somo facu disfigured by a frown. "Soup," said Herbert, lifting tho tu reen cover; -''perfeetdish water. "Susan," said Lina aharply, bofore Herbert could lift the ladle, "taie that tureen to tho kitchen and tell Jane thc soup is not fit to cat." 3usan promptly obeyed. Herbart looked rather ruefully at tho vanishing dish. He was especially fond of soup, and tho savory fumes of tho delicious dish were tantalizing. Essie wt. aid have had some gent?o OXCUBO for it-eho never . whipped off in thr.t way. All dinner time Lina kept up a ding-dong at Susan about that abominable soup, till Herbert heartily wished ho had said nothing about it. Bat his imagination had de tected a burnt flavor in tho pudding, and before ho cduld remonstrate, that dish had followed tho soup. "PU get thia house in Borne sort of order bofore I leave it," said Lina em phatically. "Before you leave it," said Herbert, . sharply. "Do you ?uppoao you are a bet ter houso-keep?r than Essie? Why, I have not a friend who does not envy me the exquisito order of my house and my dainty table." "Herbert, you surprise nie. Only yes terday I heard you say_ you did wish thoro wo? ever anything nt to cat on thc table." "One don't expect every word to he taken literally," said Herbert rather sulkily. But nu hour later, finding a streak of dust in tho sitting room, ho de clared emphatically "it rms not fit fore pig to live in." Corr?cg into it tho next morning, ho found the curtains torn down, the carpets taken un, the floor littered with pails, eoap, ana brushes, and Lina in a dismal dress, her hair tied up in ? towel, direct ing two women, scrubbing vigorously. r'Good gracious, what are you doing V "Cleaniug this room." "Why, Essie had the whole house cleaned, nntil it shone, in tho fall, and didn't make half the muss," he added, contemptuously. "Weft," said Lina, slowly, "I thought this room a marvel of neatness myaelf, but when you Bald it wa? rot fit. for tho nies. I supposed you wanted it cleaned." "The room was well enor?h,i' was the catt reply. "For mercy's sat*don't Urn any more of tho house upside down." At breakfast a'liny tear In Louie's apron caught her father's eye, and by hia own angry statement flbo never had a do cent stitch of clothes, and he did wish "somebody would see to ber." Two days (aler a formidable dry good? bill was presented at the store, and Lina explained it to him in this wise : " You said, Herbert, that Louie hadn't a decent etitcb, and you wished some body would BOO to her, ea I bought her a complote outfit. I could not see any la'ii't ??ijSc?t, ?>ii? O? ?????n? x jjvv ??O?c ?i pensive articles, as yon did not like those already provided. I am glad you called my attention to tho poor, neglected ' child.? . "Poor, na-lcctcd child?" echoed torushed Herbert. "Why. Lin?, Essie faii ly slaves herself out orur thone chil dren. I am sure I never nee any better dressed or ?eater." , Linn meraly shrugged hov^sbA,'fiers.

In short, with apparently an energetic attempt to correct all short-comings and -, . 1 - i_i_.._" _ __r_. |IUt> UJU uvum^iu upvu >. uasis, Lina iu ouc month nearly doubled her brother's expenses, and drovo him to the verge of distraction, keeping actual account of every complaint. But Essie, well and strong again, was coming home. On tho day of her ex pectcu nrrivul, Lina, with a solemn fuee, invited ber brother ;iito thc sittiiig-'oom for a few moments of private conversa tion. "Herbert," ?he said, very gravely : "I have a proposition to make to you. You are my only brother, and I need not tell you I love you very dearly. It has really grieved me to thc heart to see how much there is to find fault with iu your bcauti ful home.*' Herbert twisted himself uneasily in his chair, hut Lina continued : "You know thai motlier is very depen dent on me, i/ouic having the house and ( 'dren to care for, but I think she v. /uld sacrifice her own com lort lor yours. Ho, if you wish, Herbert, I will come here permanently, to keep tilings in order for you." "You arc very kind," be faltered, tbo instincts of a gentleman battling with the strong desire to te" Lina she would certainly drive him to n lunatic asylum hy six months or more of her model housekeeping. "Not at ali. A man who hos made au unfortunate marriage certainly need? all tho aid and sympathy his family can give him." The hist straw was laid upon thc cam el's buck. Herbert ?poke hotly : "You arc entirely mistaken, Linn ! I have liol made au unfortunate marriage. If ever a mau waa blessed in a wife, I um that niau." "You amaze me, Herbert," Lina cried In a wcll-fcigncd astonishment. "I do nut sec why you should bc sur prised.- Essie is gentle, loving, orderly, a model house-keeper, and n perfect home angel-dod bless her." "Herbert, is that true?" "Certainly it is true." "I cannot believe it," was the slow response. "Cauuot believe it ! Why ?" "Because"-and Lina dwelt impress, ivcly upon every word-"during thc nine ' years of your married life, though visit ing here frequently, I never heard you speak one word of encouragement or praise to Essie. I never saw one look of approbation or appreciation of any effort she made for your comfoit upon your face. Continual fault finding, constant blame, have changed lu r from a happy, winsome girl to a pale, care-worn woman. Even her lust illness was but tho un broken despair of a heart crushed under e load of daily censuro and constant striving for thc approbation never given. And you tell me now she has never failed in ber duty to you. There is a grave error somewhere. The sadly earnest tone, the face of thoughtful gravity, sent every word homo tr Herbart Worthington's heart. Hu spoke no word in self-defence us Lina left the room. In tho profound silonce that followed, conscience leviewed the post, and ho knew that his sister had only spoken thu truth. Thc habit id fault finding, meeting no resistance in Kssie:s gentleness, had gained iu force till all monstrosity stood revealed in thc exp?rience, of tho lust month. In tho days when lissie lay danger ously ill there had been un self-reproach like this in her husband's sorrow. He bad given his wile n fair home, an ampio income, frequent socinl pleasure, many costly gifts, and loved . her faithfully, while poisoning her wholo life. "God help nie," he whispered, "to conquer this fault. Essie shall hear no more fault lindi tig, and if I seo her droop ing ? *"ill send lier to mother and have Lina bvjk again." Never had wife and mother warmer welcome than greeted Essie. The chil dren wero unchecked in their loudest demount ration of delight. But Lina had to rush into the ball to hid', her merry eyes when Herbert, kissing Essie, s-dd : "Wc mnat let mother have Lina, now. dear ; sho has been very kind, and worked hard for my comfort; hut-thcro is no homo fairy like my Essie." Tho quick, glad look in his wife's soft eyes told Herbert that one step hud boen taken in the right direction. Aa the days, glided by, and Essie found appre ciation meeting every cflbrt to nuu to homo comfort, a word of praise for every little triumph of cookery or needle-work, her pale face grew bright with untold happiness. Gradually tho care-worn expression was obliterated by one of ?weet content, and Herbert found his own heart lighted by tho cheerful voico, tho sunny annie, tho bright eyes of the Essie he bad wooed years before And Lina, making a visit aiz months after, told her mother, on her return : ' "Herbert hos learned his lesson hy heart, mother. He appreciates Essio now at her value, and ho lets her know lt.-Home Companion. (J liberna tor lal Correspondence.

Rat Hunting Snakes. Boone months ego a gentlemen from Humphries paid a visit to a friend of his in the township of Beverly, Canada-a Mr. Henry-and renmined with him for several day.. During his visit tho Dum nh rica gentleman complained that hin lion.M' was literally infested with ra Lt and mice. He had tried every device to get rid of them", und all had failed. Mr. Henry, who in as itigcnioun un he in fond of ?port, declared that he could hattie [ thc rats out of h'm friend's cellar in no time, to une hin own expression. Next day the two drove to tho gentleman's houne in Humphries. Mr. ll.airy took with him a common quarter gronn match box, pierced with a few bole*, which he carefully placed under the neat of the huggy. The Humphries gentleman, feel ing that bin friend wan going lo give him a surprise, probably with nome improve ment on tho ferret, asked no questions, the better to enjoy the surprise when it dill come. Arriving at the house they had dinner, and after thc ladies had re tired Mr. Henry placed the box on the table and removed tho lid. In an in stant from thc box leaped a full-grown garter nuake, meantning ili/ec feet and a half in length. Thc reptile, which wan highly excited with thc beat, reared it eelf iltnonl On thc extremity of ita tail ami glided nbout the table with remark able rapidity, licking ?tn ghastly jawn with its forked and nimble tongue. The Humphries gentleman shrank hack into the comer almost petrified with horror. Mr. Henry showed now nilly ttl in was by taking tho nuake upon hin arin and hand ling it much liku a hack driver would handle bin whip-lash. Finally hin fenm were overcome, and when he had com poned himself he lcd bin friend into tho cellar where thc Htiakc wnnnet at liberty. The reptile immediately departed for thc wall, and the next moment discovered a hole, into which it glided with thc gr?ai ent eano. An interesting terrier stood at their heels, and both gentlemen held clubs, which ?vere trumps just about them. Thc minke had not disappear over a minute before half a dozer, rat? hounded out of the hole and met a terri ble fate at thc bunds of their enemies outside. But thc nuake wan uol satisfied ; it discovered every rat bolo in thc cellar, and glided in and out among ibo rocks where even a rat could not have gone. It wan finally taken up and placed in H box after twenty rain and almost un many mico bad been killed. The nuake b? louga to a black garter family, which arc in reality thu beat friend thc farmer han. They live exclusively on thu field mice, i worm?, Hie? and other vermin, and if thoy occasionally glide across the path nf a human being their liven should hu pre server!, an their good qualities counter balance these defects. The, one possessed by Mr. Henry wan caught by him la.st summer in a pea-field, and since be han had it no rum are to be neen or heard in thc neighborhood of bin boti.se. A young friend of ours, on leaving Baltimore recently, where ho had been attending college, received from a ;..dy friend the following admirable advice, which, though intended only for bis own perusal; we take the liberty of presenting to our young read ern : "It in ranier to bo n good business man than a poor ono. Half the er . . <y dis played in keeping ahead that is required to catch up when behind, will nave cred it, givo more lime to business, and add to tho profit and reputation of your work. Honor your engagements. If you promise to meet a man or do a cer tain tiling at a eorii?u momcUt, ba ready at the appointed time. If you go out on business, attend promptly to the matter in hand, and then as promptly go about your own business. Do not stop to tell ?torie? in business hour?. If you hat > a pince of business, bo found there when wanted. No man can get rich by sitting around stores and saloons. If you have to labor for a living, remember that one hour in tho morning is belter than two at night. If you employ others, bo on band lo see that they attend to their un tie;, nnd to direct with regularity, promptness and liberality. Donut med dle with any bunine .-.a you know nothing of. Never buy n thing ?imply because thc mau that sell? will take it out in trade. Trade is money. Time is money.

Do not bui'd until you have arranged and laid a good foun dation. Do not-a? you hope to work sucoena-spend time in idleness.

DUNCAN.-An unfortunate difficul ty occurred at Barnwell village, on Sat urday, between Dr. G. R. C. Todd, Dr. J. A. Duncan and George Duncan, the Bon of Dr. Duncan, a youth about 16 years old. The accounts of tho affair are conflicting. As tho story goes, tho two older men (Todd and Duncan) met at Pcacbman's bar-room, and became in volved in some disputo about profession al mattera, in which harsh words and in sinuations were freely indulged in. Dr. Todd went hurriedly across to Easter ling's store, and, according to ono ac count, requested Mr. Robert Easterling to '.end him a p::tel. White in ?he ?tom Dr. Duncan entered, accompanied by his mm, and demanded a retraction of tho languogo used in the bar-room. This boiug refused, Dr. Todd was attacked by Dr. Duncan, and a general acuflle in sued. George Duncan drew his pistol, and Dr. Todd seized it and attempted to wrest it away, while Dr. Duncan struck him several blows with a stick and a counter weight. During the struggle Gcorgo Duncan fired, striking Dr. Todd in the breast, about an inch to the left of And jual below the left nibble. Dr. Todd then caught young Duncan by tho throat with both hands, and was only prevented from strangling him by the efforts of {arsons who had by this timo interferred. t was found that tho ball had struck on a rib, glanced around and lodged in the muscles under tho left shoulder-blade beneath tho akin, inflicting a serious but not necessarily dangerous wound. Tho injured man was conveyed to his house, whore bia wounds were dressed and thc ball extracted, and last night ito was doing very well. No warrants have been issued ano no aircsts made.

INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES.-There is serious danger to the D?mocratie party in such divisions and dissensions as aro seen in Newberry and Fairfield. Tho remedy is with the peoplo ; hut the Con ventions who nominate candidates can do much in the way of avoiding the occa sions of splits and bolts. It should be made the invariable rule to allow no ?ierson to be balloted for as a candidate br a nomination, until, in person or by his representatives, ho ahall have bound himself to abide by the action of tho Convention and to support its nominees. The Conventions also should be extreme ly careful to nominate strong men. In our judgment a boro majority should not be anfliciout for a choice. A candidate who cannot Bocuro a two-thirds vote ia aufhcicntly unpopular to be unsafe in theso times. Again, if Conventiona can not nominate acceptable candidates, the choico can be devolved directly upon tho people in primary elections, lt ia an open fight. The candidate who receives tho lushest number of votes at the pri maries thon becomes '.nc regular candi date of tho party. No independent candidates ! must be the cry everywhere, if the Democrats do siro to retain and consolidate their pow er.-Ar?r? and Courier.

He felt indignant that she should have no more respect than that for hi? de ceased wife, and said : "You dink I ride out mit another vornan so soon after thc death of mine frou." - An old writer says: "I have seen women so delicate that they were afraid to ride, for fear of the horse running away ; afraid to sail, for fear the boat might be upset; afraid to walk, for fear they might fall ; but I have never seen one afraid to bc married, which is far more riskful than nil the others put to gether." , - A little three-year-old girl, whose father did not uso a razor, was recently, wbilo visiting at a neighbor's, greatly in terested in the operation of shaving, which tho hend of the house was perform ing. After watching intently for a Tew minutes, she said, "Mr. A., what do you do that for? My papa don't wash AM face with a little broom and wipe it with a knife." - Senator David Davis, of Illinois, lato of tho Supreme Court, is seriously ill ; and his reported disease is cancer in thc stomach, threatening, at least, thc speedy end of his personal activity and public usefulness. His recent access to the Senate was an occasion for national congratulation ; tho limitation of his ac tive service there, either in time or qual ity, will be a great public misfortune. - A physician recently took a couple of girls to ride with him. They visited ono of thc cometones, and while looking at the various monuments thc doctor re liiarkcd that bc knew one person buried in tho lot very well, he having been one of bis patients. One of the tittie giris, looking around, waved her hand toward the other-monuments and innocently in quired, "And were all those your pa tients, too?" - Two young Indies were singing a duet in a concert room. A stranger, who had heard better performance, turned to his neighbor, saying: "Does not the lady in white sing wretchedly ?" "Ex cuse me, air," replied he, "I scarcely feel at liberty tu express my sentiments ; she is my sister." "I beg your pardon, sir," answered ho in much confusion, "I meant the lady in blue." "You are perfectly right there," replied the neighbor ; "I have often told fier so myself ; she is my wife." - One of tho most distressing evi dences of hurd time?- is to be found in the fact that the industrious and frugal cork ing classes of the larger cities are contin ually drawing on the little amounts thoy have gradually accumulated and depos ited in thc savings bankB. It appears that the experience of these banks is very much the same over tho country. The deserving depositors have almost stopped with their credits, being forced to d*aw out nut only tho interest, but frequently the. principal of their earuioga. - The engineers of the United States army, than whom ibero ?nu DO more cota sse tent judges of matters connected) with their vocation, expressed moro disfavor of Capt. Eada* plan, when it waa first dis cussed, of a jetty ayatem for opening; a channel through the South Pass of the Mississippi than any other class of peo Silo in the country. It is therefore grnti ying to learn that having inspected the work they havo filed a report io which they frankly admit the auccess of tho projector. Originally opposed to the acuerne, they have nude up their verdict with great deliberation, and their concln 8ion under auch circumstances in ita favor enhances the value of their en dorsement. The importance of the trade and commerce of the whole coun try of thia enterprise cannot be overesti mated. Woura OF A DRINK OF WATF.R.-In one of the terrible battles in Virginia, a Union officer fell wounded in front of the Confederate breastworks, and while cry ing for water, James Moore, of Burke county, N. C., a Confederate soldier, leaped over tho fortifications, and crawl ing up to the poor fellow, gave bim a drink. The wounded man too): out bia gold watch and offered it to h! ? benefac tor, but it was refused. He then asked for the Confederate eoldi?r'c name, and the two mon parted. Moore subsequent ly lest ? ?s?h i" nattle, and roturned a cripple to bia home. Tho Raleigh AV.-.-1 now naya that a few daya ago Moore re ceived from this Union soldier a lotter announcing that the aum of ten thouaand dollars would be paid to bim in four an nual instalments. BORROWING BOOKS.-Nobody would think of going into your parlor mid pick ing up n mantel ornament or 0 tidy, and ikying, "Gae I take this for a f>.w dava? I will bring it back again." But they frequently do BO wiih your books. Now, books are as much tue furniture of a room os any thing, else, particularly when they are in the parlor. They are put there to be looked over and promote con versation, and if they aro carried off their purpose is defeated. Besides, bor rower! feel much less obligation to roUirn ?books than anything eise. Very few people keep more than ten or fifteen vol umes on a parlor table, nod though ono might not be - missed -for a time, yet if everybody who came in would appro* priate one, the owner would soon be des titute. -;- I? - WANTED RAIN.-The cohred peoplo hold a meeting, sa;?a the Lenoir (N. C.) Topic a fow days ago, in Caldwell county, to pray for rain. One brother was called lon, who prayed after this manner: "O, Lord Ooo 1 us poor niggers is. pcrishin' dis year, an' ef you don't gib us n rain, wo will perish next year too. 80, good Lord, gib vi rain. Don't gib ua one ob dese Mippy-slappies, but do, gib us one ob dem gully-wash?rs and trash-movers." Fae* for the People.
