A little drop of dow had stood Upon my casement long; The snn came out and kissed the dew, And when I turned again to view The dew-drop, if was gone. A tiny blossom, pale and sweet, I'd nursed e'er since its birth; When rast-? BOflght 'tyas all in rain, For oh! the hitter, winds and rain Had crashed it to the earth. A Jbod'fifjr^^tjpyooise grew within my garden wall; I ?a::cd.upon it, soil and fair, An3. hoped 'twould yield a flower rare Ere autumn leaves might "all. The autnmn came?I socght the bud Expanding to a flower; When lo t a hideous worm had crept And nipped its petals as they slept, And left it dying there. A beauteous form, of infant grace * th.6b.ght to" call hoy own; One tender breath upon my cheek, One sigh of parting love to speak? My heavenly gilt had flown. Then, as I faint and pow'rless grew To quaff Life's bitter cup, Ah angel form; just overhead, And bending down, in pity said, "Look up from earth?look up I" A Hew Way to Pay for tt* Kniffe. A loog^itr&ago when, frvas a boy, I found it next to impossible to keep a pocket-knife. Somehow a knife would get awa^frpni ine. I tped.eyer 80. bard to keip-o?ihiWd^e^tSaX w my possession, and I reajly. coveted,every knife '.hat hlfl-riosfogca) lost, as it seemed to me there were lucky and unlucky knives. Mine were all of the.unlucky kind. When I lost a knife I would try for days together to remember where I 1 asl bad my knife. I would fall to sleep at.night trying to call up this last place. I could call up ewry other place where I bad used my knife for a week back ex? cept the l??t place?that would not come op. I v 03Id: walk about, start, stop, look vacant and'run. my baud , into my pocket every few minutes thinking sure? ty it is in there. I'd turn all my pockets wrong side out hoping the treasure would fall out of some corner; but all in vain. I'd whistle and try to sing but there was no tune to any thing. I had to choke down my meals, and my appetite was gone. I wanted to telrrny loss to my mother, but ^vas ashamed of my misfor? tune. Just as certain as I lost my knife some one, and always the wrong one, wasnrre to ask~me for it Then the sad truth bad to come; but I always felt better after telling my sorrow, and par? ticularly so if I got a word of sympathy. My heart was lighter and my boyish whistle then bad some tune to it. If at last I found my knife, and always just where I never,thought of looking for it, I was jfsaabottt as nappy as a boy ever gets to be in this world ; and it seemed to me everybody else was glad - toor I'd put tbe knife deep down in my pock? et, and every half hour or so. run my band down, to" make, sure.it was, there. My blessed mother was a.poor widow and not able to buy me' a knife oftener than once a year, generally at Christmas or New Year. TBeyfi'ad theT^ristmaseV mighty far apart when I'wis'a boy?they are getting them too close together now. When. I was about twelve years old, my brotbJ*/^y|)r8a;Jttoee .yeara ^younger, and myself were out la the woods at play. Brother bad a large white-handle knife, which, as I thought, be.bad kept so long, because tbe handle was white. I -bad oieetroffcred -him all my stock in trade for it: but he would not sell. His uowilliugaess to part from that knife only Incxtased my* desire for it. At the time spoken of, brother bad'just cut from an old stomp, a long, keen, beauti? ful dog-wood switch, and be said, "See what.i nice switch I have." Instantly; ajrWfy^t/ibK of inspiration, I said : "Brother, you may bit me a hundred lashes witb that switch, if you will give me your knife." My joy was about full when brother promptly said, "I'll do it." We arranged the terms. I was to pull off.mjf'?CM.:*; jeans rouj?Ua:-about, nei? ther of us to get mad,.and! was to loan brother my knife, as he had loaned it to me, while it wasrliisV'"!'was'perfectly happy at the prospect, of that knife at so small a price,.and I pulled off my coat quick, for fear brother would back out. He was a slow, still, patient sort of a boy, 'und commenced laying on in tbe most uninteresting way imaginable. He did not hurt a bit . I laughed at him, told him it was really pleasant. When be got up to twenty-five, my back began to get warm, and sting, and smart I stopped laughing ?and began to count more carefully. - At^filfty, I was as bot as popper, and said, "Come, brother, stop, I want to rest." We rested for some time. My courage was fast cooling down. I began to reason witb myself: "Have taken fifty lashes," there are only fi&jf more, and that nine year old boy can't bit any harder." Witb some effort Pgaid, "Well, brother, commence and", ba guIce." tBut: be .was in-JB0;J3trrty^3 tolo y ra he was a slow bey> and be seem-' 3^uncommonly slow just then. I count seventy-five-with emphasis, and said^ "field on RS I took the krttfeand looked aCft It was not such a 'knife as I had tbjrbght it was. Indeed, t begun tu feel like the price was too'much for. any kriife. I made several proposition* for compromise, but it was no go. Brother stock to the original contract with pro? voking tenacity, and I could act weil afford to lose what I hsd'aiready paid. I .was balf-a-miini to get mad and com plgln of fotp play, but myi word of honor Was at stake:' Brother thought tbe whole thing a good joke, but for thVlife of"mc, I could not see any fun in it. I did-not cry but I was sorry enough to do so. My"mTnd^mean(Twent so fast, I could not get it made up to any line of action. Finally this thought settled me: "What afool/1[am3to take eeventy-fiye lashes, and now hesitate at the remaining twen? ty-five It* rSoTgritting-*ny teeth, I said, "Lay on, McDaff." I-didn't know who McDuff was, but had caught tbe expres? sion from some one and used it. He did lay on'fifteen lashes, when all ?n a sud? den my mind underwent a complete rev? olution, and I told brother "to stop and keep bis old knife, .it never had been food metal." The fact is, I would not ave taken the remaining ten lashes for forty knives ; my courage bad collapsed. Results: First, never after that aid I offer to buy anything at that price. Sec? ond, I never lost a knife from that day to this. When my mother learned this story, which she did when I changed my clothes the last of that week, she bough t me a knife and I kept it until it was worn ovLt^Wedeyan Christian Advocate.

The boow.fall in Watauga County, tf. 0., last-week,- reached an average 3epth of three feet Personal Courage of Alexander H. Stepbens. Those who have seen Hon. A. H. Stephens and marveled at the atom he is, would not be likely to think of him as a combatant, since he appears, as a poor man, to need more than the little strength he has to fight against death, ever threatening him. Nevertheless, be is and always has been testy and pug? nacious when his motives have been im? pugned or his honor questioned, and it is no fault of his that he bad not repeat? edly taken part in several duels. He I bas challenged Herschel V. Johnson, I Ben H. Hill and other politicians, but they declined to accept bis challenge, though avowedly adherents to the code, thinking it preposterous, no doubt, tc go out with the little invalid. One might as well shoot at the edge of a razor as at the attenuated figure of the distin? guished Georgian. During a heated cam? paign in his native State, in 1848, he bad an altercation with Judge Cone, a Southern politician, and nearly lost bis life.. The Judge, meeting him at a hotel in Atlanta, called him a traitor, and Ste? phens, who was unarmed, struck his in sulter across the face with a small cane? Cone, in a rage, drew a dirk knife, and attempted to stab him to the heart. Al? though large and muscular, his puny op? ponent prevented the deadly thrust, but received eighteen or twenty wounds on different parts of his body. Fiually, Cone 4rew~ the plucky little fellow down, and forcing his head back on the floor with ?his left band, as though- he had been a child, h"6"iield the knife before his eyes, crying,- "Apologize, or I'll cut your throat I"- The laconic reply was, "Never. .Cut.away.',L The blade was descending, when common friends interfered, and so parted them. Stephens' wounds, fortu? nately,-were dressed at once. Had there been any delay be would have bled to death from the cutting of an artery. This is a good example of his indomitable courage. His suffering, shrunken and .wasted form contains a big soul. Ste Ehens refused to appear against him on is trial, and their amicable relations were intimately restored, the Judge hav? ing, after the Southern fashion, bitterly regretted the painful occurrence.?New York Times, Purchasing Horses. Few persons who purchase and use horses are able to make a selection of an animal with a sufficient knowledge of what they are buyiug. It is rarely that a horse is bought, except upon' faith in the declarations of the seller, and a hap? hazard sort cf dependence upon luck. The consequence is that a man is very frequently "stuck" in his bargain, and when be suspects or discovers it, he thinks it no barm to put off the beast upon some Dtt er purchaser in the same way that it was palmed off on him. "Is he all right?'' asks the would-be pur? chaser. "Well, I bought him so, and so far as I know he is all right," replies the seller, trying to make believe to his own conscience that he really knows very little, -although be may think a great deal. - Now, it is very easy for any person of i judgment to learn to know when he is buying a horse whether, the animal is sound or not. Blemishes speak of them? selves, but unsoundness requires a close inspection and some, knowledge for its detection. The feet are the most usual seat of uhsoundness in work horses. -From the general careless habit of caring for horses and the reckless manner in using them, there is a large proportion of them unsound in the feet. But dis? ease of the feet is easily detected, al? though there may be no apparent lame? ness. An intending purchaser should have the horse brought out before him, and watch the animal as he stands at rest. If the owner is continually starting the horse into motion and urging him to "show off," something may be suspected; because it is when the horse is at perfect rest that his weak points are divulged. If the horse is sound, he. will, stand squarely on bis limbs, without moving any of them, the. feet being placed flat upon the ground, and all the legs plumb and naturally posed. If one foot is thrown forward with the toe pointing to ground and the heal raised, or if the foot is lifted from the ground and the weight taken from it, disease of the navicular bone may be suspected, or at least ten? derness, which is a precursor of disease. If the foot is thrown out, the toe raised and the heel brought down, the horse has suffered from damitis?founder?or the back sinews have been sprained, and he is of little future value. When the feet j are all drawn together beneath the horse, j if there has been no disease, there is a misplacement of the limbs at least, and a weak disposition of the muscles. If the horse stands with his feet spread apart, or straddles with the hind legs, there is weakness of the loins, and the kidneys are disordered. When the knees are bent and the legs totter and tremble, the beast has been ruined by pulling, and will never be right-again, whatever rest aud treatment be mayhave. Contracted or ill-formed hoofs speak for themselves. If the eyes are of a bluish or milky zcast,.they constitutionally tend to opthal ^mia,- and thore will be certain trouble j'ifiere.^. If the- ears are thrown back? wards, the temper is bad ; if they are thrown forward and the horse starts nervously at every movement or sound, he will probably be a shier; and unsafe to drive. If the hjnd legs are scarred, he has been n kickerT- If the knees are blemished, he is apt to stumble. If the skin is rough ana harsh, and does not move' easily and smoothly to the touch, the horse a a heavy eater and has poor digestion. . When these peculiarities are absent, and there is nothing to cause sus? picion in any other way, the horse may petakeh to be all right so far as sound? ness-of foot, limb and digestive organs are concerned.. Disease or imperfection of the respiratory organs may be discov? ered by pinching or holding the throat, by observing the behavior of the horse when be is speeded, or by placing the ear at the side of the chest, wheu any sound heard other than a clear, resonant one, is indicative of trouble.?Rural New Yorker. Russian Bed TxriSM.?Another feature of the-Russian service was il? lustrated by the Prince in the following pretty little anecdote: "One day I was walking with the Emperor of Russia in the Summer Gar? den of St. Petersburg, when, coming upon a sentinel in the centre of a lawn, I took the liberty of inquiring why the man was placed there. The Emperor did not know. The Adjutant did not know. The sentinel did not know, ex? cept that he had been ordered there. The Adjutant was then dispatched to ask the officer of the watch, whose reply tallied with the sentinel's?"Ordered." Curiosity awakened, military records were searched, without yielding any sat? isfactory solution. At last an old serv? ing man was routed out, who remember? ed hearing his father relate that the Empress Catherine II., one hundred years ago, had found a snow drop on that particular spot, and given orders to protect it from being plucked. No other device could be thought of than guard? ing it by a sentinel. The order once is? sued was left in force for a century." ? "Never kiss a young girl if she doesn't want you to," says an article on the art of kissing. But pretty often, when a girl says she doesn't want you to kiss her, is the very time she does want you to, and you'd better take the benefit of the doubt. ? A Kentucky paper remarks that the look of intelligence assumed by the young lawyer as he sits in court should bo put a stop to. It is calculated to cause the presiding judge to lose confi? dence in himself, and to make him be? lieve that he doesn't know anything. How to Make Children- Mixd.? "How is it your children mind so well ?" asked one lady of another. "I suppose you don't spare the rod, but neither do L Seems to me I'm forever scolding and flogging my boys and girls, and they are still as disobedient and headstrong as ever. Now, you don't seem to have any bother with yours. It must be all in the child's disposition. Some children have more spirit than others, and are harder to break in." "I don't think mine have any lack of spirit," the lady answered with a quiet smile. "They inherit a restless, active temperament, but I have always be^n firm with them?firm, not harsh. I aim to impress on my children that disobedience is sure to get them into trouble. I say, 'Don't do such a thing,' and when they do it the punishment (not necessarily a heavy one) follows promptly and inevita? bly. The two things, disobedience and punishment, are so absolutely connected together that the child inevitably thinks ot the one every time it meditates the other. Why don't a child put its fingers into the fire ? Because it knows that if it does it will get burned. And in the same experimental manner my children know that if they disobey tbey will get punished; and they avoid disobedieuce accordingly." "Ah! this is all very fine. Your chil? dren may mind while they're under your eye. But how does your syfitem work in your absence? Do your children mind when you're not looking at tbem ?" "My dear madam, all beings that are guided by experience, rather than by precept, are essentially creatures of habit, and cnildren especially so. Habits are, indeed, nothing more or less than accu? mulated experiences. Drive sheep into a certain pen every night for a month, and thereafter they will go there without any driving. Have yourself called every morning at five for a few weeks, and you'll find you will wake without calling. And in iust the same way, by teaching your children to obey implicitly when you are present, you will get them in such a habit of obedience that they will seldom think of disobeying in your ab? sence. Experience will form the habit, and the habit will remain long after the experience has been forgotten or is, at best, remembered in a dim and misty fashion^; "At least, such has been mv experi? ence with my own children; and if your method of discipline has resulted in chil? dren that won't mind, suppose you try my system for a while. Put yourself in your child's place, and try so to shape its experiences that from each one of them it may learn only a lesson of the advan? tages of obedience and good behavior." Rust Wheat.?The examination of diseased wheat straw, by the aid of a good compound microscope, demonstrates most conclusively that the. rust consists entirely of minute fungi,resembling small mushrooms or toadstools.and propagating their species by properseeds. Itisshown by the microscope that the fungi begins to grow inside of the straw, and immedi? ately on its bursting or splitting it pro? trudes outside. The quantity of seed they contain is very great. It is this that forms the fine red dust which floats in the air like vapor, in badly rusted^ fields of wheat. It resembles the smoke, or more properly, the seeds of that well known fungus, the puff ball, and may be carried by the wina from one farm to an? other. These seeds are so exceedingly small that tbey can pass into the plant through the stomato or air vessels of the leaves, and are carried with the descend? ing sap into the stem. I ?"Papa," said the five year-old daugh , ter of a West-side minister, "is the devil ! an author!" "Well," replied the amused clergyman, "I should say he was?the au? thor of a good deal of mischief, any? way." "Not that, I don't mean," pur? sued the little one, "but docs he write books?" "Not that I ever heard of; at least, not personally," was the reply; "but why do you ask?" "O, nothing; only I heard you say something to mam ma about the u'orks of the devil." : ? He came from the country, seven years ago,-and is now a well-to-do mer? chant. Last week he wrote to the' old folks, telling them he had married a lady with a very fine voice?mezzo soprano of very extraordinary compass. He received an answer from the maternal side of the house informing him that his lamented aunt was afflicted with some? thing like that, and had found relief in placing a mustard plaster on the sole of each foot'and drinking a pint of dan? delion tea. ? In Chicago the case of Mrs. J. An? derson, who has been on a trial before a jury of the Trinity Methodist Church for conduct unbecoming a Christian and a Methodist, and for renting ground to he used as a beer garden, was concluded Thursday evening, and a verdict was rendered of guilty of both charges with a recommendation of forbearance on the part of the church. ? A man of thirty dressed in sheep skins trimmed with red flannel and bearing an enormous blackboard in scribed "I am the prophet Elias," recent? ly appeared in the streets of Rye, Eng? land, declaring that he was one of the tribe of Levi and must journey from town to town fulfilling his mission and saving the human race. ? "Why is it," asked a young upstnrt of a gentle maiden of thirty-five, "why is it that elderly maidens have a pen? chant for cats?" "Oh! that is easily auswered," responded the maiden ; "not having a man to caress, they naturally bestow their affectiens on the next grade of animals in the scale of deceitfulness." Smarty collapsed. ? At a wedding recently, when the officiating priest put to the lady the ques? tion, "Wilt thou have this man to be thy wedded husband ?" she dropped the prettiest courtesy, and with a modesty which lent her beauty an additional grace, replied, "If you please." ? A class was being examined recent? ly in a town in Texas. The subject un? der discussion was the flood. Among the first questions put was, "How did Noah understand that there was going to be a flood?" "'Cause," shouted an urchin, "he looked at his almanac !" ? The small boy of to-day doesn't look up to George Washington and Benjamin Franklin ad examples. No; he thinks his big brother, who lights a cigar in the house, goes out any time, and returns when he feels like it, is a good enough example for him. ? A doctor went out for a day's hunt? ing, and orj coming home complained that he hadn't killed anything. "That's because you didn't attend to your legiti? mate business," said his wife. ? No matter how good-natured a man may be, he will invariably get mad when he discovers that there is no towel in the room, and he is compelled to dry his face on the bed-quilt. ?

"Lie still, my dear," said the mother, "until your sister comes home from church ; she has got the comforter in her bustle." ? I don't like to talk much with people who always agree with mc.

It is regarded in Washington r.s settled that no movement to repeal ti e resumption act will be made, nud if made will not be successful. ? The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says: "It will be found that the President has been taken in- by lying reports brought to him by defeated Republican candidates from different parts of the South, and that, while undoubtedly there were frauds in a few places?notably in the black dis? tricts in South Carolina?he has been deceived by numerous talcs which had no foundation in fact. ? Considerable excitement exists in Johnston county, N.

In 186? a voting man of Bastrop, Texas, enlisted in the Union army, leav? ing behind him his sweetheart, a beauti? ful girl of sixteen.

Dear Doctor?You did a good turn for me once: you saved my life. To be sure you left me minus a leg in doing it ?but life is sweet even with but one foot to hobble through the world with. It was down at-; it was a bloody day but a glorious one! You remember how ?but I beg pardon, I always forget my? self when I get to talking about these old times. This is what I want to tell you : One morning last week I awoke feeling very strange. For a long time my liver had been rebellion!*, but I had anticipated no trouble. But that morn? ing I discovered that my stomach had joined in the revolt, and a lively skirmish was beiug carried on, that threatened to end in a hard buttle. The suddenness, of the revolt put the Aearf-qunrters in confusion, and all seemed hopeless till, suddenly, like one of those flashing or? ders of Grant, carne the command?"Get Dr. Pierce's .Golden Medical- Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets;" arid a courier was immediately dispatched for them. Now, what 1 want to say is this, I feel like a volunteer, who has just re? ceived his commi-sion-or better still, as GFafitdid when be held Lee's swortL^And1 I want to advise all who suffer from a rebellious liver and stomache to "fight it out on this line," and they will surely be victorious.

Its purpose and method will belli? same as in tho pa.it: To present all the news In a readable shapo, and to tell the truth though the hcaTcns fali. The Sun has been, U, and will continue to be In? dependent of everybody, and everything save the Truth and its own convictions of duty. That is the only policy which an honest newspaper need have. That is the policy which has won for this newspaper the confidence and friendship of a wider constituency than was ever enjoyed by any other American journal. The Sex is the newspaper of the people. It is not for the rich man against the poor man, or for the poar man against the rich man, but It seeks to do equal Justice to all interests in the community. It is not the organ of any person, class, sect, 01 party. There need bo no mystery about its lorts and nates. It is for the honest man against the rogues every time. It is for the honest Democrat as against the dishonest Republican, nun for the honest Republican Vs against the dishonest Dem? ocrat.* It does not talce iu cue from tbc utterances of-any politician or political oryanlr.ition. It gives-its support unreservedly' when- men - or measures are in agreement with the Constitution and with the principles upon which this republic was founded for the people. Whenever the Con? stitution and constitutional principles are violated ?as in the outrageous conspiracy of 1876, by which a man not elected was placed in the President's office, where he still remains?it speaks out for the right. That is The Sun's idea of independence. In this respect thcro will bo no change in its pro? gramme for 1879, The Sun has fairly earned the hearty hatred of rascals, frauds, and humbugs of all sorts and sizes. It hopes to deserve that hatred not less in the year 1879 than in 1878, 187T, or any year gone by. The LSai is printed for.lhu.meii ana women of to-day, whoso cuncern Js chiefly with the affairs of to-day. -It-has both the disposition and the ability to afford its readers the promptest, fullest and most accurate intelligence of whatever in the wide world is worth attention. To this end tho resources belonging to well-established prosperity will be liberally em? ployed. The present disjointed condition of parties in this country, and tho uncertainty of the future, lend an extrootdinary significance to the events of the coming year. To present with accuracy and clearness the exact situation in each of Its varying phases, and to expound, according to its well-known methods, the principles that should guide us through the labyrinth, will be an important part of the The .Sun;?' work; for 1879. We have' the means of making The Sun, as a political, a liTorary, and ti general newspaper, more entertaining and more useful than ever before; and we mean to apply tbcra freely. Our rates of subscription remain unchanged. For the Daily Sun, a four-page sheet of twenty eight columns, the price by mail, postpaid, is 05 cents a month, or 8G.C0 a year; or including the Sunday paper, an eight-page sheet of fifty-six columns, the price is 05 cents a month, or 87.70 a year, postage paid. The Sunday edition of TheSun Is also furnished separately at SI.20 a year, postage paid. Tho Sunday Sun, in addition to the current news, pre? sents a roost entertaining and instructive body of literary and miscellaneous matter, In bulk twice as great and in value not inferior to that of the best monthly magazines of the day, at one-tenth of tin i r cost. The Wkkly Sun Is especially adapted for those who do not take a New York daily paper. The news of the week is fully presented, its market re? ports are furnished to the latest moment, and its agricultural department, edited with great care and ability, is unsurpassed. The Weekly Sun is probably read to-day by more farmers than any other paper publlahud. A choice story, with other carefully prepared miscellany, appears In caca Issue. Tho Weekly protects its readers by barring its advertising columns against frauds and hum? bugs, and furnishes more good matter for less money than can be obtained from any other source. The price of the Wekly Sun, eight pages, flfty slx columns is 81 a year, postage paid. Kor clubs of ten sending 810 w* will send an extra copy free. Address L W. ENGLAND.

Case, from bis favorite prescription, which in an'extensive practice of over twenty-seven years he has found most effective In ail cases of disordered liver or impure blood. It Is ANTI-BILIOUS. It acts directly upon the liver, restoring- It when diseased to Its normal condition; and In regulating the activity of this great gland every other organ of tho system is benefited. In Blood Diseases it has no equal as a purifier. It im? proves digestion, and assists nature to clirainato ail imparities from the system; and while it is the cheapest medicine In the market, it is also superior to ell known remedies. Whilo it Is more effectual than Blue Mass, It is mild and perfectly safe, containing nothing that can In tho slightest degree injure the system. It does not sicken or give pain; neither does it weaken tho patient, nor leave tho system constipated, as do most other medicines.
