1 A?H-W J. G. CLINKSCALES, Editor. How is Miss Sallie Scott's school? She promised us an occasional line. Her school numbered over fifty when we were there in February. We trust she still has as many as she can manage well. Hers fs a ten-month school. ? -We are informed that no work haB been done as yet on the Calboun Acade? my. Well, the weather is pleasant now and the children can get along very nice? ly until Fall. - During the Summer, after the crops are "laid by," the patrons will make it. a neat, comfortable house. There may be another Joe Brown coming up in that community. Take care of him, the country will need him'. Will every teacher in-the County hop? ing "to attend the State Normal School in August do us the kindness to drop us a card stating his purpose ? We are fear? ful that not many can attend; if, how? ever, any considerable, number can go, the necessity for a County Normal will in a"measure be relieved. This is why we ask for the information. We- hope the teachers will give the matter due at? tention. . . The season for Commencements, school exhibitions and public examinations is now about beginning. The Colleges have, their Commencements^ the public schools and country schools generally, ' their exhibitions. These annual festal occasions do good when properly guard? ed and skillfully managed. Many a b?y has been quickened into new life, and lifted upon a higher plain of action by the success of his first-attempt before the public.

Ned came in from the office with the . evening mail, shaking the water, from his coat and hat as a great Newfoundland ? dog would shake his shaggy coat on com? ing out of the water. "'Why I-does it rain?" asked Lou, 'looking up from the book whicB had ab? sorbed her thoughts for the last half hour. > "Indeed it does; it is a nasty evening. The creek is rising too, we shall soon - have a raging torrent at the foot of the hill I" v s'TffeHi there's no army waiting to ' cross;" returned Lou, in a truly quizzical 0 manner. "What do you mean?" asked Ned, ; handing the letters to his father and toss? ing a package toward Lou. ? ?? - "Oh, I. was only thinking of the time ; when a rain saved an arm^." "More history! All right! this is a : good time for it. What part of the world are you dipping into now, and ' what's the time of day ?" - "It is the evening of the twenty-eighth of January, ! believe. That is certainly what the calendar up there says. Now ' just substitute 1781 for 1885 and you have - it - I don't suppose that a hundred years orsojrom now it will be known or be o?4 - interest tfiat it rains to-night. But the fact that it rained on that twenty-eighth ... of January, 1781, is one oj! the things ,set down in history as important;" "Just tell a fellow about it," said Ned. . "Ned, I am afraid you are a lazy fel? low," said his father. " You, seem to make Lou do a great deal of reading for your benefit." , } "0, no, father! Lou does.it for her Own benefit and it is really pure benevo* lence on my part to let her talk." "Well, you remember that after Gen - eral Gate3 had won a reputation by the . capture of Borgoyne and the surrender of the British army at Saratoga, he was given the command of the Southern' de? partment; but only to suffer defeats and misfortunes. He was superseded by General Greene, who speedily rallied and reorganized the army which be found greatly reduced in numbers. One divis? ion of his army defeated the British at Cowpens, but finding that he had so few men. in comparison with the army of Cornwallis he decided to retreat to Vir? ginia, to save the remnant, and seek re? inforcements. On the twenty-eighth of January he reached and crossed' the Ca tawba, getting safely over with all his baggage. Cornwallis was only two hours later in arriving at the ford, but as it was now nightfall fie concluded to wait and cross by daylight, having no doubt of being able to capture Greene's army. But during the night a perfect torrent of rain fell, so that in the morning the dis comfitted General looked out upon a river swollen and unfordable. And it was a fortnight before he could cross with his array. Then the roads having become only partly settled, the two armies began a race of sixty miles for the Yadkin. Again Greene came out ahead and again Cornwallis was delayed by a rain which came up just as be was about to cross. However, by leading his army up the river about twenty-five miles to a shallow place, he succeeded in crossing, and the third race began. The two armies were on parallel roads only twenty-five miles apart, but Greene came out ahead and reached Virginia, where he was reinforced." "Was not Greene the fellow of whom it has been said thai nil his defeats bad the effect of victories?" interrupted Ned. "Yes, and I believe he never gained a decided victory. At Guilford Court House the raw recruits broke line aud fled at the first fire and this caused grent confueion. The Americans were forced to retreat after some hard fighting; but Cornwallis was so badly cut up that he also retreated. Toe battle of Eutaw Springs is called the hardest fought bat? tle of tho war, and there as before Greene failed of a decisive and complete victory only by the folly of some of his soldiers; but the enemy were so crippled that :hey retreated." "This was during tho last year of the war?" "It was almost tbe end. This engage? ment closed the Southern campaign." For a few moments Ned busied himself ^Jn tracing out the plan of the campaign on a small map. Presently Lou said : "I have read two or three amusing anecdotes connected with this Southern campaign. At Cowpens Morgan was at? tacked by (lie British- under Tarloton. The attack was fieice, but the Americans ptopd. well, and at a crisis of tbe battle the cavalry under Colonel William Washington made a furious onset and routed tbo British Dragoons. During the assault Tarleton and Colonel Wash? ington had a personal encounter, in which Tarleton was wounded. Long after, the British officer remarked to a lady that he bad understood that Colonel Washington was very iliterate, that he could not even write his name. To this the lady replied, 'Weli, Colonel, you bear evidence that he can at least make his mark I' "And another time Tarleton said he would like to see Colonel Washington; and the same lady remarked, 'If you had looked behind you at Cowpens you might have done bo.' " "She was witty I" said Ned, laughing; "do you . know whether this Colonel Washington was of George Washington's family ?" "He was, . I think, a distant relative. But the funniest thing is the story of an American soldier at Eutaw Springs, who was rushing headlong in the flying pur? suit of the retreating British. He sud? denly found himself ahead of his com? rades and surrounded by the British. Of course he expected to' be killed or taken prisoner,, at lenst he would have thought so if he had taken time to tbin But he seized a British officer-by the col Jar and;wrested his sword from him, then keeping the officer between himself and the enemy, he backed off. The enemy would not fire upon their .own officer and so he was pretty; sure of escaping. The British officer stormed, nod began to get Off a string of titles saying, I am Sir this and that, giving his rank in the army and his title at home. The American said, 'Exactly I you are just the mao was looking for.'"? "But," 'said "Ned with a puzzled ex pression; "I don't see how it was; thought it was sometime in the latter part of the Summer that Cornwallis got shut up in York-town; I don't understand how he came to be there. Eutaw Springs is away down in South Carolina." "Oh, Coru wallis did not command at Eutaw Springs! Stuart was the British commander there. From Guilfoid Court House Cornwallis retreated to Wilmicg ton, and from thence' went to Petersburg and took Arnold's place, ravaging the country about until there' was nothing left to destroy, then he took himself into Yorktown and fortified it. At first he .intended to fortify Portsmouth, but Clin ton ordered otherwise." - "And then the end came." "Yes, October 19, 1781,"? The Pansy To-Morrow, To-morrow! "that fatal mistress of the young and lazy," what hopes of pleasure .and reform does the word conjure up to the mind of the saoguine; what re mem brances of past procrastinations, and broken resolutions, to the self-scrutiuiz ing soul. Like the rainbow, at the end of which children expect to find a bag of gold or like the mirage which, in the thirsty desert, offers a tempting vision of herbage and water; so to our mental view, eager to evade the duties of to day, appears that mystical To-morrow, a sort of mil j lenuium, when we shall carry out our long-talked-of plan of turning over a new leaf, and shall feel no repugnance to perform those unpleasant duties which we ore so unwilling to begin today But alas! "To-morrow never yet On human being rose or set." The-rainbow fades as the child stretches out its hands for the bag of gold, the mirage recedes as we approach it, aud mocks our hopes by appearing again on the far horizon; and we hope to awake in the morning, and find that this To? morrow, the Utopia of our dreams, has come, find that it is still To-day, with the old spirit dragging its weary resolves. There is a saying that "none are so blind as those who will not see;" cer? tainly none are so credulous as those who will not think. Does anybody really believe that it will require less effort to pay that un? pleasant call to-morrow with the addi tional disagreeableness of having to fiud excuses for neglecting it to-day ? Or will that pile of unanswered letters be any less alarming when increased by the morning's mail ? Or will that kind action "be any more acceptable for being postponed till your own warm impulses bos cooled, and the urgent need for help 13 past? "Bis dat, gui cito dat," says the Latin proverb. You may spend the whole of to-day in lazily making good resolutions about the beef tea you will take that sick woman to-morrow, but when the morning comes the woman may be dead, and the opportunity for useful? ness gone; and you will.waste another day in idle remorse. Physicians tell us that the constant use of sedatives slowly but surely deadens the energies, and saps the vital force. Good resolutions for to morrow are a pleasant soothing syrup for our con? science to day; but there is a danger lest its activity be injured, and its power of remonstrance destroyed ; we want mental tonics, not sedatives. It is those dream? ers who talk most of the wonderful things they are going to do in the future, who end by never doing anything at all. "What you can do, or think you can, be? gin it, Boldness has genius, power, aud magic in it. To-morrow ? 'Twill be the same story To-morrow; and the next more dilatory ; For indecision brings its own delays, And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days." ' Action of Alcohol on the Heart. Dr. N. B. Richardson, of London, says he was recently able to convey a considerable amount of conviction to an intelligent scholar by a simple experi? ment. The scholar was singing the praises of the "ruddy4 bumper," ayd saying be would hot get through the day without it wheu Mr. Richardson said to him: "Will you be gocd enough to feel my pulse as I stand here?" He ? did so. I said, "Count it carefully; what does it say V- "Your pulse says 74." I then sat down in a chair and asked him. to count it again. He did so and said, "Your pulse has gone down to 70." I then laid down on the lounge, and said, "Will you take it again ?" He replied, Why, it's only 64; what an extraordinary thing." I theu said, "When you lie down at night that is the way nature gives your heart rest. You know nothing about it, but that beating organ is resting to that extent; and if you reckon it up a great deal of rest, because in lying down the heart is doing ten strokes tess a minute. Multiply that by sixty ana it is six hun? dred ; multiply it by eight hours, and within a fraction it is five thousand strokes different; aud as the heart is throwing six ounces of blood at every stroke, it makes a difference of thirty thousand ounces of lifting during the night. When I lie down at night without any alcohol, that is the rest my heart gets. But when you take your wine or grog, you do not allow that rest, for the influence of alcohol is to increase the number of strokes, and instead of getting this re3t, you put on something like fif? teen thousand extra strokes, and the re suit is, you rise up very seedy aud unfit for the next day's work till you have taken a little inoreof the "ruddy bumper," which you say is the soul of man below." ?;, ?

C, the people are driving out the emigration agents, Will Never Hare Iho Tremens. "Did you ever* have tbe tremens V was the laconic inquiry made yesterday by one Detroiter of another. "The what?" "The trenieus, snakes, shakes, triangles, jimjams, side jumps, or whatever you chjoose to call them." "Oh, I see; you mean the jerks. No, I never had them and I never will. I went through an experience once that convinced me I had no use for any nervous disturbance of that character. I was rooming with a capital young fellow at a hotel. He was a southerner ; came from Texas, and bad all that gen? erous, impulsive nature that is attributed to tbe best class of Souiherners. But that fellow would get on the most hila? rious batters of tbe mo3t pronounced type. He'd get blind, howling drunk, aud keep it up until nature would bring in her bills aud send him to bed because he couldn't meet Them. He'd spend all ^the mouey he had, all he could borrow, and then run his credit to the very limit. He was ready to be anybody's friend, and the fact was taken advantage of while he could work the bars. He was quick to anger, and when bis money disappeared he was liable to be treated to a pair of black eyes or a sore jaw. He would come out of a spree determined never to have another one, and while his resolu? tion prevailed he was gentlemanly, tidy as a fashion plate and the best of com? pany. He was a :Democrat and Cleve? land's election took the young man clear off bis feet. He was on the war path for two weeks. He was drunker than a lord and made Borne hoWl for keeps. He finally had to give up and went to bed at the hotel. He slept twenty-four hours and then wanted whisky. The doctor said to give a reasonable amount, but the debilitated politician wanted a quart. He was quieted for a time, and I threw myself on the bed for a nap. A voice awakened me. I heard the young fellow praying and saw him kneeling by the bedside. His petition was that the Lord, bis mother, and all other interested par ties might forgive him for what he was about to do. He felt it as his duty to murder me then and there, because, in bis distorted judgment, I was fit to cum? ber the earth no longer. I was almost petrified with mingled astonishment and fear. I saw that he had 'em. He was an athlete, six feet tall, and out of his head. In the corner of the room were two Indian clubs and a baseball bat. He rose-from prayer, started for the corner, and I aaw that I must do something or be pounded into a jelly, rl made one spring before he knew I was awake, pin? ioned his arms behind him, and let out two or three terrific yells. In a few seconds the porter, with a half dozen other men, were helping put the Cleve? land man to bed. He got around all right, and vows he's done drinking, but I wouldn't sleep with him after another democratic victory for half of Michigan. I'm cured, and I'll never bave the rattles."?Detroit Post.

Mo Poetry iu a Maiden's Lore. It was divinely announced in the early history of the world that "it was not good for man to be alone," and the an? nouncement has received the almost uni? versal endorsement of our race, especially the male portion of the race. It may be that some are discouraged by frequent failures?that is, those who failed to marry those they wished. To thermale sex this would seem to apply, as it is supposed that the men only do tbe court? ing. But a close observer will sometimes admit that the ladies take part in it. I once heard of a party who asked a lady of over three-score years how old a lady would become before she would relin? quish the idea of marriage, and the an? swer was: "My son, go ask some one older than I." People will marry. It is necessary that they should. But they should-love first. Those who write of love generally treat the subject With too much levity, and associate it with soft glances, moonlight walks and poetry. Lovo and poetry go hand in hand some? times, but poetry is generally left?left away in the background. The young man, when he first gets in love, is a poet in his own conceit. The girl does not get that way. She has a practical idea of love, and whether or not she recipro? cates the passion of the young fellow who is letting out his soul to her, she will knock all the poetry out of him on the first round.?A Lecture by Pastor Hammond. Because She ttak i\ Drunkard's Daugh? ter. Suicides aru of sueh frequent occur? rence that they fail to make much of an impression upon the publi<~ mind. And yet some of them are unutterably sad. Take the recent caso of Jennie Yarnell, a modest and pretty girl of nineteen, in Shenandoub; Pa. Jennie was well edu? cated, a church member, and a girl of some refinement and ambition. Her great sorrow iu life was the drunkenness of her father. Frequently when she re? turned from church or Sunday-school, where she was teacher, she was mortified to find her father in an intoxicated con? dition. This weighed so heavily upon her mind that she finally told the old man of her intention to kill herself if ho did not reform. Last .Sunday when Jen? nie returned from church she found her father drunk. Bursting into tears she remonstrared with him and was harshly answered. Going upstairs the poor girl seized a pistol und shot herself through the heart. She could no longer eodure the shame of being a drunkard's daugh? ter. Stern moralists will condemn the act and sav that it. was the girl's duly to live and suffer ami aid her father in his strug? gle with the drink demon. No doubt it was her du y. But it should also be recollected that her agony of mind ap? proached madness, and it was in the frenzy of despair that she committed self murder. ? Senator Stanford attributes the improvement in Gen. Grant's cancerous affliction to the use of clover tea, which was .suggest! d by a large number of letter-writers. ? Mrs. W. J. B. Cooper, of KingHtre^, had thirteen sheep killed by the fojling :if r trefr durliitj the freer!', storm. A Woman's Work, She must always have the masculine buttons of the family sewed on so they will never come off while in use, and she must keep the family hosiery so that nobody would ever mistrust that there were toes in the stockings while they were on. She must hold herself in con? stant readiness to find everything her husband has lost?and a man never knows where to find anything. He will put his boots carefully away on the parlor sofa, and when he has hunted for them h?lf an hour he will suddenly appeal to his wife with a. countenance like an avenging aDgel and demand "What in Ihunder she has done with his boots?" She must shut all.the doors after her lord and master, and . likewise the bureau drawers, for a married man was never known to shut a? draper. It would be as unnatural for a ben to go in swimming for recreation. * She must go to bed first in cold weath? er, so as to get the bed warm. Her bus* band, if he be a wise man, never asks her to do this". Ob, no; but he sits to "juBt finish this piece in the paper," and waits till she has got the sheets to a com? fortable temperature." Ah, there are a great many tricks in the trade of living together. A woman is expected to take care of the baby, even after the first infantile wonder has multiplied into a round half dozen. And if he doubles up with tho colic or trials of cutting teeth or the necessary evils of mumps and measles and whooping cough and scarlet fever and rash and throat distem? per and short sleeves and bare leg* and pins sticking into him and too much candy and a bad temper, her husband tells her that be "does wish she would try and quiet her baby," and he says it, too, as if be thought she alone was re? sponsible for its being in existence, auxl as if she was considerably to blame, too. And when she has the headache no? body thinks of minding it?a woman's always having the headache. And if she is "nervous enough to fly," nobody shuts the door any quieter, and nobody tucks her on the lounge with a shawl over her, or coddles her to death as man has to be coddled under such circumstan? ces. We might-go on infinitely with the troubles of being a woman, and if there is a man who thinks a woman has an easy time of it, why, just let him pin on a pound of false hair and get inside a pair of corsets, nad on a pull-back over skirt, and be a woman himself, and see how he likes it. The Language of Love. "Mister Johnsing, I want tcr confide a great secret to yer.' "What is it, Pete ?" "I'se got a notion ter ask Swayback Lucy ter marry me." "JDo you think she reciprocates your affection ?" "What did yer say she did V" "Do you think she loves you as much as you do her ?" "Dat's what I 'spicions." "Did Bhe tell you so?" "No, but she mout jess as well habftold me so. When she was goin' tru de yard I punched her witha pitch fork, and she said : 'G'way yer black nigger, I doan want ter bab yer about me.' I tell yer, Mister Johnsing, dat when a woman tells yer to go 'way she wants yer to stay right dar. Dev am de contrars'est critters in the world." "So you think that is a symptom of love, do you ?" "1 does, sah, for a fac'." Shortly afterward another negro wo? man heard Swayback Lucy singing away for dear life in the yard as happy a bird. "What's de matter wid you?" "I tell yer, Aunt Sukey, I believe Pete Jackson wants ter marry me." "'[as be done tole you so?" * Jo, but he mout jess well bab tole me so. He punched me wid der pitch fork.
