The Advantages of Cash Over Credit. "Pay as you go," is an old saw, but a wise one. It is the cheapest way and the safest. To run in debt is an Ameri? can habit, and there is no other nation in the world where credits are so popular J as with us. We borrow with the great? est facility. The thought of pay-day rarely troubles the intending borrower; and the borrower and debtor through purchase stated precisely in the same position; thoy are both borrowers in facts. It is only rarelv that we come across a man who has the reputation of | being a "solid" man, without any bub? bles of credit in his business, and buy? ing only for cash. The practice is so ? genera) that business is built up on that basis; scales are made in anticipation of | a year's credit or more, and public scales are never, or hardly ever, announced un? less with the heading "credit sale" pre? ceding them. At a cash sale one gives thcactual value of what he buys, and many who are tempted to buy at credit sales will avoid a cash sale from habit if not from necessity. The difference in the coat price of articles so purchased is an enormous tax on industry, self-imposed, it is true, but none the less onerous for that. This is poor management. "The destruction of the poor is their poverty." If we consider this ancient, but true proverb, in its narrowest sense, we shall miss its most valuable lesson. There are poor men financially considered; but for one of these who become so by unavoid? able necessity, there are a hundred who make themselves poor. There are poor managers of their affairs; poor bus? iness men; poor readers; -poor thinkers, and those with poor memories upon which the results of mistakes sit but lightly or rest not at all ,* and these are each and all worse off than the man who is poor as regards money alone. A man with brains and capacity to use tbera, who can foresee chances of profit, and who can seize them as they come; who J is shrewd, prompt in action and enter prising, is a rich man as compared with one who possesses none of these advan? tages, but who has only money at com? mand. There are rich poor men and poor rich men, and these soon change places. "I have entered into a partner? ship," said one; "ny partner finds the money and I find the experience." After a time this one said, "I have dissolved part? nership ; I have now the money ana my partner has the experience." It will al? ways be thus; the poverty of the man who is I poor in business ways destroys him. There are some maxims in business which a man, and especially a farmer, should write on the first page of his memoran? dum book or diary, and read over every J day. Some of these are: "Owe no small debts." "It is better to borrow money | on a note, or a mortgage, and pay a num? ber of small debts out." "Buy for cash." "Sell for cash." "Do not buy a thing you do not want." "Do not want a thing becuse it ia cheap." "Avoid auc? tion sales." "Never endorse a note." "If you wish to oblige a friend, and have the money, loan it to him; but put your name on no man's paper." "An endors? ed note comes due always at an inconven? ient time." "Never count your money until it is in your pocket." Many oth? ers might be added, but here are enough. If you want good authority for these we may refer you to Solomon first, in whose ancient writings all these, and many more of similar import may be found. Since his day these maxims have been iterated and reiterated until they are trite enough, but yet the great majority of men ignore them. A man becomes prosperous by attention to small details. "Small leaks sink a ship." A habit of | looking after small matters causes a man to carefully regard larger affairs;-while on the contrary, looseness in the former respect produces carelessness in regard to the latter. A business man who re? gards economy and safety, will never fail or become embarrassed, and there is nothing else in the way of business that is so economical or safe as dealing for cash. There may be men who consider that a debt; is a debt that there are no degrees or differences in this respect. But there are debts, and some are exces? sively more costly and burdensome than others.?Rural New Ybrker. An Elopement Frustrated.?An English girl near Manchester tied a string to her toe and let it?the string, not the toe?bang out the window for a gentleman friend to pull in order that she might not miss her music lesson. The rector of the church, it is further | stated, hearing of the arrangement, re? fused the couple the sacrament. And this reminds us of a little stoty. Once upon a time a young lady who desired to get up with the lark in order to go on an eloping tour, adopted the English firl's plan, and the lover was to be on and at day-break to give the signal. The string used for the pedal was a stout cord, and one end was dropped out of a third-story window into the back yard, and the other end attached to the dam? sel's great toe. And the legend runs that a healthy goat of the William per? suasion arose early the next morning to look for the early warm, as it were, and wandered into the yard; after eating up all the tomato cans, barrel staves, and broken crockery ware, he found the string and took that in as desert. As soon as the string was drawn taut the goat stood upon his hind legs and gave the string an impulsive jerk. The girl awoke. The goat gave another sudden pull, and the maiden jumped out of the bed with a smothered cry of pain. Then she stooped down to detach thecordjust as the ridiculous beast gave another vio? lent jerk, and she lost her equilibrium? and her toe, too, almost?the cord cutting into the tender flesh. She sprang to the window and called in a hoarse whisper, "stop pulling, Charles, I'll be down in a minute." Then she made another effort to untie the cord, but that diabolical goat gave his head several angry bobs, and each time the girl gave a cry of pain. Again she softly called out in the dark? ness: "Charlie, if you don't stop jerking that way I'll not come down at all." She was answered by another savage pull, and the cry of anguish that escaped from her lips brought her mother in with a look of affright and a lighted lamp. The young lady fainted, the elopement was nipped in the bud, and the disappointed maiden's big toe was sore for two weeks. The goat escaped.

Of course every one knows it conveys all the fences standing on the farm, but all might not think it also included the fencing stuff, posts, rails, etc., which had once been used in the fence but had been taken down and piled up for future use again in the same place (2 Hill. 142.) But new fencing material just bought and never attached to the soil would not pas? (16 111. 480.) So piles of hop poles, stored away, if once used no the land have been considered a part of it (1 Ker nan, 123;) but loose boards of scaffold poles laid loosely across the beams of the barn and never fastened to it would not be, and the seller of the farm might take them away (1 Lans. 319.) Standing trees, of course also pass as part of the land; so do trees blown down or cut down and still left in the woods where they fell (54 Me. 309,) but not if cut and corded up for sale; the wood has then become personal property. If there be any manure in the barn? yard, or in a compost heap on the field, ready for immediate use, the buyer ordi? narily takes that also a> belonging to the farm; though it might not be so, if the owner had previously sold it to some other party and had collected it together in a heap by itself (43 VL 95.) Growing crops also pass by the deed of a farm, un? less they aro expressly reserved, and when it is not intended to convey those, it should be so stated in the deed itself; a mere oral agreement to that effect would not be vaild in law (19 Pick. 315.) Another mode is to stipulate that posses? sion is not to be given uutil some future day, in which case the crops or manure may be removed before that time. As to the buildings on the. farm, though generally mentioned in the deed, it is not absolutely necessary they should be. A deed of land ordinarily carries all the buildings on it belonging to the grantor, whetber mentioned or not; and this rule includes the lumber and timber of any old building which has been taken down or blown down, nnd been packed away for future use on the farm (41 N. H., 503, 30 Penn. St. 185.) But if there be any buildings on the farm built by some third person, with the fannec's leave, the deed would not con? vey these, since such buildings are per? sonal property and do not belong to the land owner to convey. The real owner thereof might move them off, although the purchaser of the farm supposed he was buying and paying for all the build? ings on it. His only remedy in such case would be against the party selling the premises. As part of the buildings conveyed, of couse the window blinds are incladed,even if they be at the time ta? ken off and carried to a painter's shop to be painted. It would be otherwise if they bad been newly purchased and brought into the house, but not vet at? tached or fitted to it (40 Vt" 233.) Lightning rods also go with the bouse. A furnace in the cellar, brick or porta? ble (89 Conn. 362,) is considered a part of the house, but au ordinary stove with a loose pipe running into the chimney is not (24 Wend. 191.) while a range set in brickwork is (7 Mass. 432.) Mantel? pieces so attached to the chimney as not to be moved without marring the plas? tering go with the house, but if merely resting on brackets they may be taken by the former owner without legal lia? bility (102 Mass. 517.) The pumps, sinks, etc., fastened to the building are a part of it in law (99 Mass. 457,1 and so are the water pipes connected therewith bringing water from a distant spring (97 Mass. 133.) If the farmer has iron ket? tles set in brickwork near his barn for cooking food for bis stock, or other simi? lar uses, the deed of his farm covers them also (19 Pick, 314,) as likewise a bell attached to his barn to call his men to dinner (102 Mass, 513.) If he indul? ges in ornamental statues, vases, etc., resting on the ground by *heir cwn weight merely, and sells his estate with? out reservation, these things go with 1 the land (12 N. Y., 170.)?Judge Bennett, j A Brave Little Lady. A correspondent from the upper Indi? an county sends us the following item of interest: A young boy, 18 years of age, a member of the Eighteenth Infan? try band, and a son of the leader of that band, became enamored of a young lady early last Winter, while the band was posted at Atlanta, Georgia. The young lady was sweet sixteen, and it was a case of love at first sight. After a brief engagment they were married. Soon after the regiment was ordered to Fort Assinniboiue, Montana. The soldiers got ready to depart, and the young lady also prepared to accompany them and not until the last moment did the young married couple learn that no provision had been made for taking the young lady along. She had to remain behind, in spite of protestations and tears, and to the infinite disgust of the boy busbaud. It was then arranged that he should send for her just as soon as he got fairly settled in his new quarters. But the littte lady had other inten? tions. She didu't propose to rest on downy cushions in Georgia while her new found husband was blowing a horn way out in the wilds of Montana. Not any. So as soon as the regiment de? parted she procured a pass to Cincinnati. There she succeeded in getting one to Chicago. At Chicago she presented her? self to Gen. ?. Ingalls, Quartermaster General, and stated her case to him aud at once aroused his sympathies. He gave her letters to railroad officials by which she got to St. Paul. There she interviewed the officials of the Northern Pacific and captured a pass to Bismark. At Bis mark she paid her respects to the mana? gers of the Coulson line and secured passage to Coal Banks and from thence to Fort Assinniboine, and without warn? ing or notification, dropped down upon her boy husband at the fort. Wasn't it a nice meeting? Well, now you can well imagine that it was better than strawberries and ice cream. And wasn't she a jewel of a baby wife for pluck, en? durance determination and love. She is described as being a very pretty lady of medium size, with dark hair and eyes, a good talker, but withal a modest, well behaved little lady, who made the trip of 4,000 miles without danger, although not without fear.?Stoux City Journal. What Makes Bow-Legs.?Bow-legs and knock-knees are among the common? est deformities of humanity, and a Man? chester (England) physician, Dr. Corop ton, attributes the first mentioned distor? tion to a habit some youngsters delight in, of rubbing the sole of one foot against that of the other; some will go to sleep with the soles together. They appear to enjoy the contact only when the feet are naked; they don't attempt to make it when tbey are socked or slippered. So the remedy is obvious; keep the baby's soles covered. Knock-knees the doctor as? cribes to a different childish habit, that of sleeping on the side, with one knee tucked under the hollow behind the other. He has found that where one leg has been bowed inward more than the other, the patient has always slept on one side, and the uppermost member has been the most deformed. Here the preventive is to pad the inside of the knees, so as to keep them apart and let the limbs grow freely their own way. All of which is commended to mothers who desire the physical uprightness of their progeny. Fast Sltecsedtxg.?The Uuique Perfumes of Dr. Prico are fast supersed? ing all others.

A Truthful Man Tells the Truth About Texas. The following is an exact copy of a private letter from an intelligent gentle? man of Leo County, Mississippi, now pros? pecting in Texas. Though not intended for publication, it contains much that would interest our renders. It ex? plains itself. The letter was written to a niece of Prof. Deupree, of Starkville, Miss., and we tako the letter from the Stock Journal in which it was first pub? lished : Oxiox Creek, Elus Co., Texas, June 22,1879. My Dear Child:?As I have leisure this evening, I will write to you and send it to P. O. first chance. You have no idea bow difficult it is in many parts of Texas to find time and material and opportunity for writing and mailing let? ters. I don't know what to say about Texas. It is a hard country to form an opinion about. Though I have been in the State about a month, and have tra? versed all the northern, central and wes? tern parts of the State, I have yet found no modern paradise. The land is rich, cheap aud boundless, butsubject to visita? tions of grasshoppers and drouth. It is very dry here now. The ground has cracked everywhere two to six iuchea wide and several feet deep. Crops, of course, are suffering greatly. People haul their water from creeks nnd rivers and ponds for miles. A good drink of water is a rare thing here, and in most parts of Texas. Timber is very scarce and con? sequently houses are small and incon? venient. Outhouses, fences, &c, are very poor. These inconveniences would be but temporary, provided grasshop? pers and tho drouth did not prevent the production of good crops; for two or three good crops in succession would make good houses and improvements, since building and fencing, notwithstand? ing the scarcity of timber, is compartive ly as cheap in Texas as in Mississippi. Stock raising, to any extent, requires capital, and to be successful, must be carried on in the frontier counties, away from society and in a wild country. But what troubles me more in making up my mind to move you all to Texas, is the people. Tex.is is full of poor folks, and most of them have remarkable poor ways. A heterogeneous admixture of people from all States and countries, nothing that we could call good, or even tolera? ble society ; no churches and no schools worth the name; all these things would be hard to endure. Yet every one hero is not only satisfied, but delighted with its condition. A tanned, lank, slab-sided Texan, with slouched hat and dirty shirt will sit on a rock, wall his eyes, aud ex? patiate for hours upon the grandeur and beauty of this country, its pleasures and its wealth, though at the same time he lives in a dirty hut infested with fleas, bed-bugs and lizards, and his only furni? ture a few raw-hide chairs, a greasy table, and a bedstead made by boring holes in the logs of his hut, and inserting poles, the ends of which are supported by forked Bticks, and two black, sleek bed quilts. His horse lot and stable is a long rope, his crib, tho prairie, his only stock, a sore back pony. His wife and children live on fat bacon and corn-bread; dress, if at all, in rags and dirt, and do all the work that is done. This you may think an extreme case, but there are many like it here. Women become as trifling as the men. I have met some whom I knew in Mississippi as good housekeep? ers, aud fond of dress and society, but out here they have fallen into the slo? venly habits characteristic of the na? tives. There must be something in Tex? as atmosphere that makes the men lazy and the women ugly. I have not seen a pretty woman in the State. As to the men raised in Texas, I have yet to meet one worth a nickel so far as industry, moral character, etc., are concerned. Their conversation is exclusively about breaking ponies, and rubbing hair off the cows to find the brand, killing men and running races. I have had several illusions dispelled since coming here. The wild Texan horse, which I imagined to be so admirable is but a lean pony, mean and contrary. I wouldn't give a dollar for a pasture full of them. The cow-boy, that gay and rollicking youth you have read so much about, is the most contemptible specimen of humanity in the world. I have seen many of them, and notwithstanding my predilections in their favor, I now have more respect for their steers than themselves. This is all a rough hard country, and if we come here, you must make up your mind to a hard life for many years. I cannot, in a letter, describe all the privations to which you would be subjected here. If people in Mississippi would live as hard as they do here they would get rich in a few years. Judging from the others, when we all get to be like them, we would like Texas and the ways of her people The West Uxequaled ix Story Tellixg.?It is no use for an Eastern man to try to tell a big story when there is a Western man about. Causeur has tried it and got beaten, beaten clean out of sight. He thought he could spin a yarn that would test any one's credulity, but he always found that a Western man could go him one better. "When I was a young man," said Col. B., "we lived in Illinois. The farm had been well wood? ed, and tho stumps were pretty thick. But wo put the corn in among them, and managed to raise a fair crop. The next season I did my Fhare of the plowing. We had a 'sulky' plow, and I sat in the seat and managed the horses, four as handsome bays as ever a man drew rein over. One day I found a stump right in my way. I hated to back out, so I just said a word to the team, and, if you'll believe it, they just walked that plow right through that stump as though it had been cheese." Not a soul expressed surprise. But Major S., who had been a quiet listener, remarked quietly. "It's curious, but I had similar experience my? self once. My mother always made our clothes in those days, as well as the cloth they were made of. The old lady was awful proud of her homespun?said it was the strongest cloth in the State. One day I had just plowed through a white-oak stump in the way you speak of, colonel. But it was a little too quick for me. It came together before I was out of the way. and nipped the seat of my trousers. I felt mean, I can tell you but I put the string on the ponies, and if you'll believe it, they just snaked that stump out roots and all. Something had to give, you know."?Iloston Trans? cript. ^^^^^ How Deeply Does the Earth Qake.?The recent earthquake at Vir? ginia City was not noticed at all in the mining depths, but only by the people on the surface. Their famous earthquake of some lime ago, which shook down chimneys and fire-walls, cracked brick buildings and did other damngc, was merely noticed by some of the miners working in the upper levels, but did no damage, not eveu shaking down loose stones and earth. The station-men in the various shafts felt it the strongest, and the deepest point where it was noticed was by the stntion-tenderat the 000-foot level of Imperial-Empire shaft?900 feet below the surface. He said it felt like a sudden faint throb or pulsation of the air, as though a blast had been let off at a distance abore, below, or in some in? definite direction. In some of the mines the shock was not noticed at all, even by station men. Commenting on this pe? culiar fact at tho time, the Gold Ilill News remarked that the earthquake seemed to be an electrical distcrbance, proceeding from the atmosphere and not from the depths of the earth.?Sacramen? to, Cal., Union._ It makes a person feel sad to hear a crying baby, suffering probably from some slight pain, which could be easily relieved by the use of Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup, which is for sale at all drug stores. The Zulu King. John Mullins, Jr., a trader who had a store at Unlundi, where the last great battle was in Zulu land, and who has been Cetewayo's friend in this war and was thrown into prison on a trumped-up charge of selling guns to the savages, has arrived at London, and gives this ac? count of the Zulu king: In administer? ing justice he judges sternly and impar? tially, passing sentence on his own brothers with the same severity and fearlessness that would be exercised on the meanest subject; approachable at all times and always pleased to see stran? gers whom he treats with unvarying hos? pitality. In private the King leads a life of wonderful abstemiousness and regularity. His wife lives in the royal inclosure, each one having a hut of her own and a bevy of Zulu damsels, who act as maids of honor. He has fewer wives than repute has palmed off on him. Cetewayo has several residences?one at each of the military kraals. Each of these houses is built in the European style, but tarnished after native custom ?that is, they have little or no furniture. The principal article in each royal resi? dence is a state chair, in which he sits while dispensing justice or transacting State business. This chair is hewn out of the solid trunk of a tree, and is carved and fashioned in the highest style of Zulu art. Presents of beautiful eception chairs have been made to Cetewayo by John Dunn and others, but he casts them aside iu favor of home manufacture. When not seated he reclines on a mat after the fashion of the race. At all times he is attended by a body-guard, and when sitting in state the great coun? cillors, consisting of the chief indunos or head men of the nation, are grouped around him. Sometimes such councils are held in the open air, when a large umbrella is held over him or a lawn tent is pitched. He may be seen thus when reviewing his army or speaking to his regiment. The kind's favorite pastime is hunting. He possesses rifles and dou? ble-barrelled breech-loaders, by the best makers, and is a fair shot. Six o'clock every morning finds him afoot, attended by his body-guard, ou his constitutional hunting expedition. During this he walks from ten to fifteen miles, return? ing to the palace at ten, when he is imme? diately rubbed with soapstone and bathed by attendants. After this the business routine of the day commences. Kaffer beer?a light beverage, about as intoxi? cating as larger beer?is Cetewayo's favorite drink?in fact, it is the only one the people had until white traders brought rum into the country, the sale of which is prohibited by the king. Drunkenness among his subjects is steruly frowned upon by him. The mo? ment a subject is reported to have committed a crime the king says of the culprit: "He does not belong to my peo? ple," and, after hearing the case, passes sentence in a just manner. It is a prece? dent laid down by bim "that a Zulu can? not commit a crime." This accounts for the thousands of refugees who are in Natal and dare not return to Zululand. He has pleasant powers of conversation, and often indulges in witty small talk, but is noted, at the same time, for his cute and logical sayings. Of course, he only knows the one language?the Zulu Kaffer dialect. The Zulu King, like all of his subjects, has an inherent distrust and dislike to the Dutch Boers; on the other hand, he has always looked upon the English in the most friendly and confiding manner. "The English have beaten all the white nations and the Zulus all the black ones," observes Cete? wayo, "and why should not two such great powers be the best of friends?" This is how matters stood until the British troop3 were sent across the Tu gela so rashly last January. Mr. Muilins believes in speaking of a man as he finds him, and the above is bow he has always found Cetewayo, the Zulu King; or, as hypocritical governors and mercenary colonists call bim, "the blood-thirsty wretch."

McLANE'S celebrated LIVER PILLS, for the cure of Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, nvsrcrsiA and sick headaciiii. 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 fect 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. Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. The genuine arc never sugar coated. Every box has a red wax seal on the lid, with the impression Dr. McLane's Liver Tills. The genuine McLank's Liver Pills bear the signatures of C. McLaxe and Fleming Bros, on the wrappers. Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, prepared by Flem? ing liros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being full of imitations of the name JUcLanef ipellcd differently but same pronunciation. YELLOW FEVER?BLACK VOMIT.

REMARKABLE CURE OF SCROFULA, &c Case of Col. J, C. Branson. Kingston, Ga., September IS, 1871. Gests?For sixteen years I have been a great sufferer from Scrofula in its most distressing forms. I have been confined to my room and bed for fif? teen years with scrofulous ulccrations. The most approved remedies for such cases had been used, and the most eminent physicians consulted, with? out any decided benefit. Thus prostrated, dis? tressed, desponding, I was advised by Dr. Aver, of Flovd County, Ga., to commence the use of your Compound Extract Sillllugia. Language Is as ln sitiliclent to describe the relief I ohtMncd from the use of the Slillingia as it is to convey an adequate idea of the iitleusityof my suffering before using your medicine; sutllclcnt to say, I abandoned all other remedies and continued the use of your Ex? tract of Stillingla, until I can eav truly, "I am cured of all pain," of all disease, with nothing to obstruct the active pursuit of mj profession. More than eight months have elapsed since this re? markable cure, without any return of the disease. For the truth of the above statement, I refer to any gentleman in llartow County, (ia., and to the members of the bar of Cherokee Circuit, who are acquainted with me. I shall ever remain, with the deepest gratitude, your obedient servant. J. C. BRANSON, Att'y at Law. A MIRACLE. West Poist, Ga., Sept. 16,1870. Gents?My daughter was taken on the 2?i\i day of June, 18G3, with what was supposed to bo Acute Rheumatism, and wx-; treated for the same with no success. In March, following, pieces of bone be? gan to work out of tho right arm, and continued to appear till all the bone from the elbow to the shoulder joint came out. Many pieces of bone came out of the right foot and leg. Tbo ease was then pronounced one of White Swelling. After having been confined about six vears to her bed, and the case considered hopeless, 1 was induced to try Dr. Pemborton's Compound Extract of Slillin? gia, and was bo well satisfied with its effects that I have continued the use of It until the present. My daughter was confined to her bed aliout six years before she sat up or even turned over with? out help. She now sits up all day, and sews most of her time?has walked across the room. Her general health Is now good, and I believe she will, as her limbs gain strength, walk well. I attribute her recovery, with the blessing of God, to the use of your invaluable medicine.
