i Harried Daughters. The Wonder* of American marriage would, if they could be truly described, interest European people more than the rude and boisterous Hfe described by Bret Harte. It would astonish a French? man for example, to know that American fathers rear their daughters in luxury, smile ou their marriages with penniless | clerks, and make absolutely no provision of a steadfast kind for the future of these daughters. The Frenchman might ask . in amazement, not why a poor husband is accepted, but how the daughter of I . luxury is to be provided Tor, and on what [ resources her children are to lean ? He 1 would probably be told that the father's mission ended with the daughter's mar? riage ; 3x9 would see a complacent smile ; on the father's face as his friends con? gratulated him, and would slowly gather in that this complacency had two fators: "I have done my duty by her, and it is over at last" For our part, we have ceased to pity poor girls growing up in scanty homes and marrying penniless young men. These girls are trained for the Hfe that: awaits them. They must be- content i with little aU tbeir lives; but all their .youth has been a'-preparation for such - content. But a daughter bred in lux? urious idleness, taught none of the econ? omies . that belong to humble life, and then married without dower, deserves j more pity than men usually bestow upon her. And her husband, full of enter? prise and capacity, takes up a burden whose weight love'may lighten but can? not carry. Business failures, broken homes, miseries, and crimes, lie behind this curtain. Common sense is our boasted Ameri? can virtue'; hut there is one subject to which we'rately apply it If we did, we ;- should see in strong light this simple law ? of duty: it is a father's solemn duty to secure to bis daughter, as far as lies in bis power, that state in life to which he has bred her. If he is poor, he has no right to give her the 'luxuries of wealth ?ho right as between her and him. If he is rich, his wealth ought to be taxed, and his forethought more seriously taxed, to provide for her a permanent income, which will procure for her that degree of luxury to which she has been accus-| tomed. - The doctrine, that the father's duty ends when the husband's begins, is a j fearful delusion, full of the miseries J which sometimes reveal themselves in divorce Courts. This husband taay be more than a father in watchful solid- j tude; but experience warns us from every page of life, that he may utterly j fail in his duty. Nature gave the daugh-1 ter a lather, and has appointed no hour when his duties cease. It is a fearful | misreading of Scripture waich finds-such a limit in God's word. There is no satire so keen, if We had eyes to see and ears to hear, as that which is enacted when a fond father gives the penniless youth, to whom he also gives his daughter, a sum of monev ' to be invested in business. As though any of us could overlook for a moment the perils of business?the fact that, judged by experience, failure is the rule . ana success the exception. In few years the business will break down, and the.] younf wife, with children at her knees, will realize a little what it is to be poor; and the husband, whose business has broken under the strain of living ex? penses, will realize a little what it is to marry a portionless child of luxury. ? For she was realty portionless. The European system of dower would have invested her fortune in the most secure J way, would have kept it religiously se? cured to her and her children, so that] whatever vicissitudes attend the business of her husband, her living would have been secure. A better and kinder way than the usual one would be to rear these girls.in kitchen and shop; to keep from them the sight of fine clothes and costly dinners?to train them for the hard work | of life. We have recently looked in | upon sue of these tragedies of our Amer? ican life?the waste of a wife's fortune by j her husband. We saw no shame in the J msn-s face. "Her father trusted me with it," he said, when questioned; but there was absolutely no sign that he felt one j twinge of dishonor, and yet he had done the one meanest thing a man can do. There is no excuse for those who devour | widows' houses, unless it be that the men unblushingly commit the greater crime J of putting the fortunes of their wives in peril. Women have many just causes of com Slaint; -but the cries some of them utter I o.not touch their proper woes. If those ] of them who know the real evil should speak, they would say: "Our fathers rear us tenderly; but they marry us without giving us practical advice, or means of independence, or security for the manner of life into which we were born. Our husbands take our portion of goods, and treat it in all respects as their own. Neither fathers nor husbands ex? ercise any sufficient forethought for our helplessness and that of our children." We are speaking of the rule; there are many honorable exceptions, and as we advance in real civilization, there will be more of these exceptions..?Methodist. How It Is Done.?Scene in a library ?gentleman busy writing?child enters. "Father, give me a penny?" "Haven't got anv now, don't bother j me." "But father, I wan't it. Something particular." "I' tell you I haven't got one about me." "Imnat hare one; you promised me one." "I did no such thing?I won't give you any more pennies; you spend too many. If s all wrong?I won't give it to you, so j go away." Child begins to whimper. "I think 1 yon might give me one; it's really mean." ^'No?go away?I won't do it, so there's an end of it" Child cries, teases, coaxes?father gets out of patience, puts his hand in his pocket, takes out a penny, and throws it J at the child. "There, take it, and don't come back again to-day.'' Child smiles, looks shy, goes out con? queror?determined to renew the strug? gle in the afternoon, with the certainty of like results. * * ? * * * ? * Scene in the street?two boys playing ?mother opens the door, calls to one of] them?her own son. "Joe, come into the house instantly." Joe pays no attention. "Joe, do you hear me ? If you don't | come I'll give you a good beating." Joe Smiles and continues bis play; bis companion is alarmed for him, and ad? vises him to obey. "You'll catch it if] you don't go, Joe." "Oh no, I won't; she always says so, but never does. I ain't afraid." Mother goes back into the house, put I out, thinking herself a martyr to bad children. That's the way, parents; show yourj children by your example that you are weak, undecided, untruthful, and they learn aptly enough to despise your au? thority and regard your word as nothing. They soon graduate liars and mockers, and the reaping of your own sowing will not fail. ? The increase in the export of live stock from the United States to England in the year ending June 30, was 30,800 cattle, aud 4,000 head of sheep. The actual numbers exported were 80,040 cattle and 183,905 sheep. In addition thereto, 64,000,000 pounds of beef went over, and increase of 5,000,000 pounds. ?

It is a common subject of marvel that criminals, in presence of immediate exe? cution are usually self-possessed, and often exhibit singular composure. The doomed creature sleeps through the night before bis violent death, and rises com? posed to pass through the ordeal. The exceptions to vhis rule are few, and there is no reason to suppose that the in? dividuals win display greater emotion, or who are prostrated by the agonizing prospect of death, feel their position more acutely than those who preserve control of their demeanor. It is a preva? lent but groundless error to suppose the state of mind in which most capital of? fenders meet their doom is one of scare or paralysing amazement. They retain every faculty, taste, consideration, and even fancy. They frequently give tokens of especial thoughtfulness, and are punc? tilious in the observance of rules and the adoption of measures to diminish their own pain and the trouble and sympa? thetic suffering of those by whom they are surrounded, or who will be left bur? dened with their memories. Mentally and physically the criminal, during the last few hours of bis life, in the imme? diate presence of a cruel death, is self possessed and tranquil. His pulse is less disturbed than those of the officials who are compelled to take part iu his execu? tion. Why is Shis? The answer will be obvious on reflection. The mind has reached what may be designated a "dead point" in its tension. The excitement is over, the agony of anticipation, the trem? bling doubt between hope aud fear of escape, has exhausted the irritability of the mind, and there is, as it were, a pause, an interval of passive endurance between the end of the struggle for life and the bitterness of romance and agony of dis? appointment which may begiu at death. In this interval the mind is released from tension of its effort from self-preserva? tion, and almost rebounds with a sense of relief that comes with certainty, even though the assurance be that of impend? ing death. In the pause there is time and opportunity for the recognition of surrounding circumstances, which have been, as it were, overlooked in the yearn? ing for life. The clearness of mental vision, the recognizance of detail dis? played at auch a moment, are remark? able, not only on account of the strange circumstances under which they occur, but in degree. Men and women who have for some time previously exhibited no trace of delicacy or refinement, ex hibit characteristic traits of thoughtful ness. They are, so to say, lifted out of themselves, and placed in the new con? ditions calculated to awaken feelings of curiosity, which seldom fail to respond. The mental state of a criminal during the hours preceding execution present features of intense interest to the psychol? ogist, and, rightly comprehended, it is to be feared they would throw new light on the supposed preparation these unfortu? nate persons evince for a fate which, be? ing inevitable, they at the final moment are able to meet with a composure in which hypocricy or self-deception finds the amplest scop?.?London Lancet. Seeing Himself Drunk.?A friend gave me lately tbs experience of a skill? ful professional man, in about the follow? ing words: "My >jarly practice," said the doctor, "was successful, and I soon at? tained an enviable position. I married a lovely girl; two children were born to us, and my domestic happiness was com? plete. But I was invited often to social parties where wina was freely circulated, and soon became a slave to its power. Before 1 was awate of it, I was a drunk? ard. My noble wife never forsook me, never taunted mo with a bitter word, never ceased to pray for my reformation. We became wretchedly poor, so that my family were pinched for daily bread. "One beautiful Sabbath my wife went to church, and left me lying on a lounge, sleeping off my previous night's debauch. I was aroused by hearing something fall heavily upon the floor. I opened my eyes and saw my little boy of six years old tumbling on the carpet. His older brother said to him: 'Now get op and fall again. That's the way papa does; let's play we are drank P I watched the child as he personated my beastly move? ments in a way that would have done credit to an actor! I arose and left the house, groaning in my agouy and re? morse. I walked off miles into the country, thinking over my abominable sin and the example I was setting before my children. I solemnly resolved that with God's help I would quit my cups, and I did. No lecture I ever heard from Mr. Gough moved ny soul like the spec-1 tacle of my own sweet boys 'playing drc as papa does.' I never pass a day without thanking my God for giving me a praying wife, tmd bestowing grace sufficient to conquer my detestable sin of the bottle. Madam ! if you have a son, keep him, if you can, from ever touching a glass of wine."?Da. Cuyler, in Evangelist. Vance and Merrimon.?A promi? nent Republican politician from North Carolina says that the Senatorial strug fle in that State is becoming lively. Mr. lerrimon's friends now claim forty-eight Democratic members in the Legislature, and are trying to ^ain the favor of the Republicans and Independents, in order to secure a vote sufficient for the Sena? tor's re-election. The latter are not dis? posed to accept any of the professions of Mr. Merrimon or his supporters, as on his first election he stood pledged to them for his success and f died signally to re? deem his promises, r.nd by his subsequent coarse he lost his opportunity to become a leader of a new combination in North Carolina politics. The supporters of Mr. Merrimon are anxious to have his name come up for a direct vote in the Legisla? ture, without the preliminary formality of a caucus. Mr. Vance's friends appear to be somewhat alarmed at this last movement, and are not disposed to con? sent to the programme. They claim that in the caucus Mr. Vance would get at least seventy votes, and afterward in the Legislature a strong vote from the Re? publicans. All thin rs considered, Mr. i Vance is believed to jave the best pros? pects of success.?Neio York Tribune. An Item for Gkeenbackers and Inflationists.?The South Carolina Railroad bills, which have been mixed up with the currency of this State for years past, and which have heretofore been received at par with greenbacks and national bank notes, are no longer re? ceivable even at the ticket or freight offices of this road as money. The road refuses them, and of course the banks will not receive them on deposit, as they do sound currency. The present genera? tion ought to know enough of an inflated currency from their Confederate experi? ence, and if they den't, the refusal of this oldest .railroad corporation in the United States to honor its own "shin plaster money" should teach them a wholesome lesson. Hard money, solid Democracy and home rule is what the people of South Carolina want, and they are not likely to be led from the path of right by such blatherskites as Beast But? ler or the ignorant demagogue, or the foolish mob who are following in the wake of, and throwing up their hats for, these infamous creatures. The refusal to receive this money (?) is the consequence of the road being in the hands of a re? ceiver.?Columbia Reg'uter. ? The best hand for a man to take in the game of matrimony, is the hand of a good woman. ? The Paris Exhibilion receipts, up to the 4th of September amounted to $1,349,023.

Owing to the suspension of many of the lines of transportation in the Missis? sippi valley, due to the prevalence of yellow fover, the cotton year has opened ianguidly at New Orleans and Mobile, and cannot be called active in the At? lantic ports, although the season is about a week earlier than usual. But the re? ports of the cotton year just completed, running from September 1,1877, to Sep? tember 1, 1878, are now fully made up, and are very instructive. They show that the crop of cotton for the year just ended is the largest that has been gather? ed since the war, and, with one excep? tion, the largest ever harvested in the South. It retched the enormous total of 4,811,265 bales, worth in money in round numbers about two hundred mil? lions of dollars. This largely exceeds the value of the great staple in the palmiest days of slave labor; for not only is the number of bales far beyond the average crop of ante-bellum days, but the price per pound is considerably higher. This crop, though the largest picked since the war, is by no means be? yond what may fairly be expected from the coming crop, nor does it very greatly exceed that of the preceding year. The yield of 1876-77 was 4,338,421 bales, against 4,811,265 bales of the year'77-78. The crop of '75-70 was also a very large Tme. These facts show that the average yield of cotton is higher than ever in our history, and that more is produced under free than under slave labor. It also is seen that for the past five or six years the South has exported each year from one hundred millions to two hundred millions of dollars worth of cotton alone, and ought to have received somewhere near that sum in money or 6ome other form of wealth. In addition to this the South? ern grain crops and meat crops are large and increasing, and will soon become articles of export beyond the needs of home consumption. At several points in the Southern States cotton factories are springing into prosperous existence, sup? plied with the most improved machinery, and the manufacturing interests are de? veloping. In the face of these facts it is idle to speak of the "poverty" of the South. Such complaints emanate chiefly from those who were rich before the war and are poor now, the descendants of the wealthy planters. But though these do not own the property it is none the less there in other hands. Men who were the overseers before the war, are in many in? stances the proprietors now, and these do not complain. Properly has changed hands to a great extent, and very much of it was destroyed during the war or swept out of existence afterward, but there is more true wealth in the South to-day than at any other period of its history, and it grows with great rapidity. Baltimore Gazette. The Largest Workshop in the World.?We have received the annual report of the establishment of Krupp, of Essen, Germany, just published, and translated an extract respecting this famous workshop. The manufacture of cast steel and refined steel alone employs 298 steam engines, seventy-seven large sterm hammers, and 8,500 men. It turns out daily ten miles of rails, with a cor? responding amount of wheels, springs, axles, and all the complete steel work for railroad carriages. This is Krupp's main contribution to the arts of peace; what he does, for the art of war is shown by the fact that be completes 300 large can? non every month, and since 1847 he has turned out over 15,000 cannons. The establishment is lighted up every night with 21,000 gas burners; its different parts are connected with thirty-seven miles of railway, employing twenty-four locomotives and 700 cars, while the vari? ous ofnees are connected by forty-four telegraph stations. In the mineral works and coal mines outside belonging to the firm, they cm ploy 5,300 workmen; for the forges, 700 workmen ; they have built 3,277 dwelling houses, which are occupied by the work? men and their families, which'number 16,200 persons, and form a small tow/i, with twenty-two stores for groceries, similar daily needs. Messrs. Krupp have provided for the education of the children of their workmen by four pri? mary schools, divided into twenty-one classes, an industrial school for girls, and a school for adult women, all attended by thousands of learners, and provided with the best kind of teachers, who, according to the German system, teach the things to be known and understood, and not merely lessons from books. Food for Horses.?It has become 3uii e common of late to hear of the sud en death of valuable horses, and the wonder is that they should die so sud? denly, when it was supposed that the best care was given in regard to their food, exercise, etc. The fact is that very few owners of horses seem to be aware of the great danger of feeding fine meal to horses. Many an excellent animal is taken suddenly ill, and iu spite of every effort for its relief, dies in a short time, the only thing out of the way in its case having been the feeding of fine meal. The trouble is, that frequently the meal hardens, literally bakes, on the wall of the stomach, forming an indigestible mass that cannot be removed, and from the suffering it causes, there is no relief but death. The livery men in towns and cities have discovered this fact, and for meal are substituting cracked corn, which is wholesome, nourishing and never at? tended with danger. It is time horse owners generally were made acquainted with these facts. How James was "Let Off."?"'I say Jedge," said a gaunt woman, hailing the Court from where she stood, with elevated voicp and a wave of her long arm, "ye hi got Jim Carpenter locked up in yer, ha ^e?" "Is there Such a man here?" asked His Honor of the Clerk. "He's here," said the Court. "Well, I've come arter him," said the gaunt woman. "He's the sole support uv his family over in Jersey. An' he's ray busband' an' I waut 'in." James was brought out, and proved to be a small, meek, inoffensive person. Mrs. Carpenter brought her hand down upon his shoulder with a bang, and clutched his collar. "Ken I hev him Jcdgo?" "Yes, take him." James gave one appealing look to His Honor, cast a regretful glance in the di? rection of his prison cell, and was led rapidly out of court. ? The entire amount of gold in the world at present is estimated at nearly seven billions, (7,000,000,000) of value in United States coinage. A billion is such a big number that the average mind scarcely takes it in. A thousand million is more readily comprehended; conse? quently seven thousand millions mean more, verbally and financially, than seven billions. How much solid gold would that make? Pure gold is more than nineteen times as heavy as water, and a cubic foot of water weighs one thousand ounces avoirdupois. A cubic foot of gold would weigh, therefore, over nineteen thousand ounces avoirdupois, and each of such ounces of fibre gold is worth, as we reckon, rather more than $18; so that a cubic foot of the precious metal would have a value of about 9838,333. A cubic yard of gold being twenty-seven times as much, would be worth over $9,000,000, and seven hun? dred yards would contain considerably more than the whole sum of gold on the globe. ?

Afghanistan is now the sore point in British policy. Whether by Russian in? stigation, or out of his own "pure cussed ness," the Ahmeer of Cabul has stirred up an immense sensation in England. Afghanistan is the neutral ground be? tween Russia's empiro in Central Asia and British India. So long as it pre? serves that status, the British have noth? ing to fear. Of course, so important a strip of territory, lying temptingly in the way of tue Bull and the Bear, aud of the last importance to their interests, could not .-email) intact. Russian intrigue and British bullying have been going on for some time, ana it would seem, at last, that the diplomacy of Gortschakoff had proven stronger with Shere Ali than tho threats of Beaconsfield. The rejection of the English mission is an affront that ueither the people of England nor the present rulers will submit to. Apologies may be made and a square back down on the part of the Ahmeer accorded, so that war,ike difficulties shall be prevented. But, if not, an English expeditionary force is likely to teach the Barbarian manners, according to the British esti? mate of the same, aud when this force shall move, it will be with a mighty power to back it up at home. It is not likely in such au event, that Russia will help the Afghanese. She is in no condi? tion to do so, iu a military or monetary sense. It will suffice fur her to hold her rival engaged in a most costly and bloody conllict with a very fierce people, who will fight like demons before they can be subjugated; and the wily Muscovite Chancellor will then have the satisfac? tion of witnessing Austria squandering men and money to subdue Bosnia, while England wrestles mournfully iu the hills and defiles of Afghanistan. England's protectorate for Asiatic Turkey is full of the germs of a new war in India. The Berlin treaty has not been followed by complete peace, and if Russia should accept the challenge of her rival in the East, the question everybody hoped was settled will be further from quietude than ever.?

McLANE'S celebrated LIVER PILLS, for the cure of Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DvsrzrriA. and sick headache. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres? sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe? tite and sickness; the bowels in gen? eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem? ory, accompanied with a painful sen? sation of having left undone some? thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry .cough is sometimes an attendant The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa? tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer? cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex? isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged AGUE AND FEVER.
