Riehfe smart sprinkle of 'em has dug 'em holes to run in when, they hear them harry-c&nes ? comin'.

He lowed she was a prayin'loud as she could holler and a fessin' up her sins in a hurry. '?'Oh, Lord, jist let me' live to git my. foot once't more on dry ground and I lay I'll sarye you all myl?ef.aad llaj^nerefcsaryes. the devil no more, and I never sells no more settin' aigs while I live, and I lay I'll.alters bereatter gin good meas?re-on ever pintof saff soap and sorghum 'lasses I sells, and.

Friday is as lucky as airy other day. Miss Freabours stept in and looked skeered. "Laws, Betsy,",] says she, "ef you haint a startin' a piece, of work and this a Friday. It's tumble bad luck, it's a sign you'll die'fore it's wore out. I alters ? begins mine of a Thursday if it haint but a stitch or two." I was, tickled to death kase everybody knows old Miss Fresh ours don't kill; her self startin' work no day. She is as idle some and do-less one day as tother, and raily does more a Sunday th an airy day in the week. "Yes," says I, "I. knowed it was a Friday but.it reads in the book some'rs 'Six days, was made to work and Suhday to'resfc)* and I ^orrf keep no day cept Sunday, and don't git mach rest then," for I thought about hew she alters come and fetched a gang ei chillun to " sayu she, "I've come ana ieicnea a gan spend the day. "Well,?: '?alters beam 'em say it was a onlucky day, and I has enough bad luck, th'out startin' work on Friday, and I know in reason I'd have a po^er more if it wasn't for my horse^shoe over my door, and my rabbit's .foot, in my pocket; and when I sees a rabbit run across the road I alters turns my pocket inside out'ards, and he alters turns his hat upside down'ards; and shore as I fergUs and has to go back atter - anything, I makes a cross mark and spits in it; and I-fcnow- monstrous we11 these here blood beads has kep my nose from bleedin^'a&d*; tbda here wass ring-; op my middle fioger has kep down the rheuma tiz. I know some folks don't believe in signs, but I've tuck, notice, and.when-1 ever I dreams of losin' a tooth some of j my folks dies." Thinks I to. myself, a sight of 'em must er died, for thar haint but one or two old snaggie teeth left in her month. "And I've tuck notice," says she, "that , I. altera j drjeams; ofvja ( weddin' afore J anybody dies." And I never wondered at her dreamin' of a weddin', kase she's eternaliy a medlin' about somebody a marryin'. She's got a dream and a sign ready for evertfiing. "r Ole Miss-Strong and ole Miss Green was both here that evenin', and Maw she was mighty besot about the hawks ketchin' her chickens. ."They've tuck all bat two of old 'Buntyty and old 'DominickV and all. but ;me of old ?FfizzWs,' afld haint left old Top'Knot' naij^?," says Maw.

"The best thiog ever I tried," says old Miss Strong, crammin' another quid of terbacker in her mouth, "is to take the forariiest lookin' chicken of the fust litter that's hatched out in the spring and make you a biresn-pile, and lay it on top and set it a fire and burn the chicken bodaciously up, fethers, gizzard and i . and J?ayifyou do that a hawk wont l^mea nigfi .'"jtfiss Freshburs taken off| her shoe and knocked the dirtoul'u it, and^ Jowedj^'My foot eaches, and it's a sign Pin a gwine to walk en strange land."

A friend furnishes us this recipe from the New York Journale/ Commerce'. Port Harrelson, 3. C., April, 22, 1884.?Editor of the Journal of Com? merce : We are informed that the Gov? ernment uses- a very, superior kind of wash for whitewashing' light-houses and other public buildiogg of this character. Will you kindly inform us of what.in? gredients this whitewash is composed, mode of mixing together, how applied,' &c? Subscribers. Reply.?Take two quarts of unslacked lime,'five gallons of warm or hot water, some glue and fine salt. Put tie lime in a vessel and add oue gallon of warm water, and wheh this, water is nearly absorbed, if for4 inside work, throw in the boiling lime a piece of glue about U inches square, and continue to add water so as to keep the lime boiling, but do not let it get dry and lumpy, neither let it get so drowned with water as to stop boiling it. When the lime has been broken to pieces by boiling do-not stir it, but perforate it by a stick so that the! water will get under the bottom of it. When it has ceased boiling, which will be signald by its refusing^o^moke.^hrowj in a handful of salt, and pour in -ffie-rtp mainder of the.water slowly, and.be sure to stir it in at the same time. If for wood-work and the first coat (outside) it should have a little more glue and be put oh thick, but the second coat will readily bear the addition of another gallon of water... Brick or stone work requires the first application to be made thinner, or with six gallons of water, so that it will take hold of porous substances. The subsequent application should be of a thicker substance. Apply the above with .an ordinary whitewash brush, the hairs of. which have been thoroughly:. wetted (in order to swell them and prevent their drying) before they are Introduced in the limewash. The above is our recipe, and if Uncle Samuel has anything better we areV?t aware of it. Ah Inevitable Anecdotq. p ) Dcring his,recent able speech in the Senate on the school bill, Senator Vance, of North Carolina, indulged in much pleasantry, some of which was very gc?d. None can relate an anecdote like, he, and be could not resist the temptation'to per* petrate a couple of his inimitable jokes, even in the presence of dignified and sedate Senatois. Illustrating the point that the North, especially New England, .and more particularly Masachusetts, was : origiually responsible for slavery, Sena? tor Vance said: ? "If I may be permitted to disturb the dignified solemnity of this body for one ?moment, ?I.will state of what it reminds me. I heard once of an old maid who got religion at a camp meetiug. -Imme? diately after she experienced the chauge she commenced exhorting the younger and prettier women in regard to wearing jewelry and.geyi'-gaws, and warned them against" the peraicious" consequences "to piety, of such, vanities. 'Oh, girls!' she skidr'I tell you,*I used to wear earrings and finger-rings, ?od laces and furbelows like you do, bofrf found .-they were drag? ging my immortal sou! down to he'!, aud I stripped them every one off, aud sold :them to> my ydnnger sister Sally.'

J3pide,rs...bave.^ften been celebrated, both in history and folk lore, and many a pmoner has beguiled the weary hours of-hia.-captivity by making a pet of a spider; The Mahommedans ^venerate the spider on account-of: the legend that one of them saved their prophet by spin? ning a web in front of the- cave -where lie lay concealed from his enemies. Accord ingto a rabbinical tradition-, a spider did a like service to KingD?vI3, wh'enTifdfiig from the pursuit of Saul, by spinning her web across the mouth of the.cave in which he was biding, and Saul, thinking no one could be within, passed on. ' A similar fact is related in the Acta Sancto? rum, of St. Felix, during the Decian persecution, who, having passed a band pf^his .persecutors withou^_their recog? nizing bim, aod having even been asked by ^them if he could tell them where Felix then was (a question he did not deem, it necessary to answer), turned aside and crept through a bole in a ruined old wall across which a friendly spider lost no time in s'pinniDg a lovely web ; which entirely covered the opening. Quickly discovering their mistake, his persecutors retraced their steps in search of him, but their pursuit was fruitless, as tbey passed his hiding place, not deeming it possible that any one could have pene? trated an aperture so closely covered by a spider's web.?Month. This_js the Best I Can Do. i ^George Langdon Kilmery.of Abraham Lincoln Post, Grand Army of the Re? public, of New York, performed a noble act recently, one which will be appre? ciated: "by every ex-C?pfederatej?fie went up to the Secretary of a trieeting w hich was being held in the interest of the proposed Confederate Home and laid a check on theiJesk.- "This is my pen? sion check," said he. "I have just re? ceived^ it and cheerfully turn it over to the Confederate Home. I wish I could contribute more, but I am a poor man, and this is the best I can do." General Gordon, who was present at the meeting,' said : "My friend,- do yon know-what you have done?" "What have I done?" asked Kilmer. "You have made the grandest contribution to the Confederate Home that has been made at all." Kil? mer is actuated by the principle that "it is more blessed to give than receive." He.has set a beautiful example, and he will long be remembered. I I A Horrible Story From Edgefleld. j The Edgefield Advertiser of the 14th , insjant contains the followiug: On r Wednesday J^J? whTle'Messrs. H. T! -Jenni?g8,-E; G^Morgan ah3 J; P. Reese were out fishing in the Savannah River, a short distance above McDaniel's ferry, they discovered something in the water which they took to be a dead goose, but on approaching it they found to their horror that it waa-a white child?a newly born infant. It had to all appearance lain in the water for several days, the body being terribly mutilated. Near it in the water was a very small batteau, turned over on its side. It was well made and thoroughly pitched inside. The supposition is, that the unfortunate waif was placed in the batteau alive aud started down the river on its lonely and dangerous voyage and that the boat was upset in the ledge just above where it I was found and the child'drowned. ?

This is not meant for cruelty, but it is cruelty, all the same. A person who has a crooked foot, or a wounded hand, or a sightless eye, calls forth sympathy by the exhibition of the defective member. If the dyspeptics sufferer's stomach could be placed on exhibition, the cause of his distress would be apparent. ?".-..?.-" >? The man witfl a troublesome stomach often suffers quite as much as the man with a broken leg, but is far less likely to receive sympathy. Sympathy is good for sufferers, as far as it goes. But Brmvn's Iron Bitters is better, for it strikes at the root of these troubles, and cures dis? ease. ' Disappointed dyspeptics, weary of having tried many experiments in seeking cure, will do well to make one lair trial of BrexinHs Iron Bitters, and report the result. That this well-tried family medicine will thus dimin? ish the quantity of human suffering is an established fact. 10 SPECIAL NOTICE.

The following iH Mr. John Pearson's Statement; In the Spring of 1SS2 I was attacked with a very bad cough, which continued to grow worse until fall, when I got so weak that I could not get about. I tried a great many kiuds of medicine but continued to grow worse. I was notified that I had consumption and would probably die. Dfi Holloway Anally told mc to try Brewer's Lung Re* storer. They sent to Ward's Store and got a bottle and I commenced taking it right away. After tak Ing two or three doses, I began to improve, and by the time I had used up one bottle I was able to get on my feet again. I am now in excellent health. I am confident that the Lung Restorer saved ray life and my neighbors are of the same opinion. It is the best Lung Remedy ever made In my opin ion. Dr. II. promised me that he would write to the manfactiircrs and tell them of the wonderful cure it made In my case. Statement of Mr, Benj. H. Hearndon: Early in November, 1881,< while sewing on tho machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain in. her side, which was soon followed by hemorrhages from her lungs and a severe cough. Fever com? menced, she could neither eat or sleep, and in a few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton. The attending physician told mo that he thought one of her lungs was entirely gone. She could not retain the most delicate nourishment on her atom* ach. I then agreed with Dr. Sullivan, my family physician, to cull Dr. Holloway in consultation, They made a final examination of the patient and pronounced the case hopel?ss. Dr. Holloway then suggested the Brewer's Lung Restorer as a last tesort. I sent for a bottle and gave her a dose. I found that the could retain it oil her stomach, and after about the third dose, I began to notice some improvement in her condition. I continued the medicine regularly, and by the time she had taken two bottles, she was able to walk about the house. She is now in better health than she has enjoyed for several years. I believe the Lung Restorer saved her life. We have a family of six children, some of them giowu." Mr. Hearndou's Postoflice is Yatesville, Upson County, Ga.

March 13, lSS4-35-eow poison oak' Seems to yield every time to treatment with Swift's Specific. Spartanburg, S. C, March 13,1884. Your most valuable medicine (Swift's Specific) has done mc so much good that I feel lilce saying this for the benefit of those who surfer like I did. I was poisoned by poison oak, and saw not a well day for six years, until I used Swift's Specific. In the six years I used almost every kind of medi? cine, but none had the desired effect. After using six bottles of Swift's Specific I am restored to'pcrfect health?with not a sign of that awful lxrison left.' Yours truly, DAVID NESBITT. POISON OAK I had for thirty-eight years suffered every spring and summer with Poison Oak. which I contracted in bathing when a boy. I tried everything for it, including many physicians, but without any benefit. I took six bottles of Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) four years ago, and it cured me sound and well. Three summers have passed, and I have had no return of it. Josewi Beasley, Columbus, Ga. Remarkable Results. I have had remarkable success with Swift's Specific; have cured several cases permanently in a very short time. One case which I am now treating was given up to die, and after using three bottles is so far recovered that I think one more bottle will cure her. The most remarkable case of all was a lady with medulary cancer of tbe womb, for whom I had no hope whatever. After using one bottle I am satisfied she will soon be cured. J. WYLIE QUILLIAN, M.
