SEEDS SEEDS SEEDS SEEDS SEEDS SEEDS SEEDS SEEDS SEEDS SEEDS SEEDS SEEDS SEEDS Pearl Spring- Church and School House. Correspondent Qreenville Enterprise and Mountaineer. About one hundred yards from the Piedmont Manufacturing Company's land, on the Anderson side of the Salu da River, may be seen several heaps of moss-grown bricks and stones in close proximity to each other. A thick growth of bushes and saplings hide these heaps from the unobservant eye. Some fifty yards away, oozing out of the slime and undergrowth of a filled-up gully, may also be seen the limpid waters of a living spring. A very unattractive place, would be the first thought of the careless passer by; and yet memories most tender and sacred cluster about this spot. Here many of the old men and women in this vicinity caught their first glimpse into the storehouse of knowledge. Here many began to walk in the peaceful ways of religion. Here the youth and maid plighted their troth at the alter of God and began life's journey as husband and wife. And here the last sad scenes that loving hearts can enact in behalf of the cherished dead were performed. For yonder heaps of stone and brick were once a part of those temples of religion and learning known to our gray-haired citisens of this vicinity as the Pearl Spring Church and school house; and yonder spring, now grass overgrown and almost obliterated by the mud and sticks washed over it by many summers' and winters' rain, was the famous "Pearl Spring," from which cooling and refresh? ing beverage was drawn to slake the thirst of the crowds who were gathered about it in "auld lang syne." THE SCHOOL HOUSE was erected during or about the year 1837. It was built of logs with a chim? ney at one end. The first teacher was a gentleman by the name of Robert Moore, who, as far an we have been able to learn, gave good satisfaction. Other teachers of some note were Spencer Moore, Rich? ard Murphy and Charles Murphy. If you wish to s ee the eye of old veterans, who attended this school, light up with .fun and animation, ask them about the old days and see what the result will be. It used to be the custom here as well as at other plao?s, when the term closed to turn out the teacher. There were at least two events of this character that occurred at Pearl Spring School House which are worthy of being reproduced on paper. The first one was under the ad? ministration of Mr. Spencer Moore, and was told to us by one of the actors, (Mr. ? Asbury Spearman.) It seems that an agreement had been entered into by Mr. Moore and the scholars to this effect: If, on the next and closing day, the scholars would succeed in keeping the teacher out of the school, he promised to give tbem a treat, but on the other hand if be, the teacher, succeeded in gaining en? trance the scholars were to treat him. To this all gave consent. Early before daylight the urchins, some of whom were not very small, gathered at the building and found it. unoccupied. Thus far they held the victory in their own hands?the prob'em before them was bow to hold it. They formed a "cordon guard" about the school house a hundred yards away, so near to each other that it was impos? sible for any one to get by without being observed, thus every point was covered ?with enough idling about to rally at the first call for help to repel the inva? der. Of course there were plenty of outsiders who came to look on ard see how the fun would turn out, Several hours passed away and no schoolmaster appeared; he was suspected to be lurk? ing about somewhere, but just where no one knew. While all were waiting pa? tiently, an incident occurred to divert their attention somewhat. Squire W. A. Williams, from "White Plains," drove up in his carriage, accompanied by a gentleman and two young ladies. They alighted and went into the school house. Of course the young men would natural? ly wish to sue who the young ladies were, so those who were not on guard crowded in. After a while one of the young ladies arose, struck an attitude, and in tones most decidedly unfeminine, cried out: "Why didn't you keep the school? master from coming in ?" The boys were thunderstruck, for lo, and behold! the being before them clad in woman's attire was the master himself. Of course they felt crestfallen at being completely out? witted. The pedagogue soothed their ruffled feelings, however, by producing a jug from tbe carriage and circulating its contents among the crowd. That the said contents were not the crystal liquid gushing forth from Pearl Spring, but rather of the nature of something spelled "purl," wa3 evident from the fact that some of tha boys soon grew quite happy and were in a condition that made tbem care very -little whether school kept or not. The second turning out was during tbe administration of Mr. Richard Murphy ?this happened some years afterwards. Among the actors were several persons who are now well known planters in this vicinity. The boys were determined to be on hand this time. Instead of wait? ing until morning several of them went to the school house and stayed through the night. One who had been out hunt? ing that afternoon brought his rifle along with him. They built a good fire in the fire place and whiled away the hou*., of night as best they could. Mr. Murphy, tbe schoolmaster, also determined to be on hand; uo with a friend he made his appearance an hour or two before sun? rise. He saw at once that the boys had taken possession of the citadel, and now the problem was how to oust them. It was still dark and the two conspiritors conceived of a plan which they proceed? ed to put into operation. They first pro? cured a pumpkin, scooped out the inside, then cut into it a most hideous face, put a candle inside, then one of them cover? ing himself up as best he could, placed the frightful looking object on his head and marched toward the school house under the impression that the boys would take the thing for a "haunt" and thereby take to their heels, thus leaving the way clear for the invaders to take possession. The boys saw the would-be haunt ap? proaching and did feel somo tremors of fear coming over them. They bad no idea of retreating, however, without making some effort to ho' 1 their own, so he who had the rifle drew bead on the "haunt," fired, and sending a bullet through it immediately put a stop lo all further approach from that direction. Every effort of the teacher to get in was frustrated. At last the friend who was with him put on the teacher's hat and coat, got upon his horse and made as if ho were riding away. The boys think? ing he had given up the contest ran out. Mr. Murphy seized the opportunity, "lyly, came up behind the building, raised one of the windows, and in a moment was inside, and, of course, master of the situ? ation. The boys were again outwitted, but took the defeat philosophically. One of the neighbors furnished peach brandy and honey and the master got his "treat." It seems strange in these days that liquor should take so prominent a part in the closing of a school; but we must remem? ber that temperance sentiment had not reached the point in those times that it has at the present. There is scarcely a locality in which the public opinion of to-day would not condemn in the most emphatic terms the use of liquor in or anywhere about a public school. PEARL SPRING CHURCH. It was built of logs in the year 1841, and stood several rods away from tbe school bouse above mentioned. (The two buildings were on the land now owned by"Mr. Jas. F. Simpson, about one-fourth of a mile northwest of Mr. Simpson's present residence.) It was built for the denomination called the Protestant Methodists. Its first pastor was Rev. Hendrix Arnold, a man who evidently accomplished some good. The second pastor was the Rev. Thos. Hutch ings, who had formerly been connected with the South Carolina Conference of the M. E. Church before it had affixed the word "South" to its ecclesiastical name, but for some reason had become disconnected with it. Under this latter pastorate the Church continued its work until 1846 when it ceased to exist as an organization. At this time a society of Christian Baptists, or what are more commonly known as Campbellites, was organized under the pastorate of Rev. Wm. Rob? erts, who served his parish until 1852, when he died. He seems to have been a successful minister of the gospel. Tra? dition' has handed down many interest? ing accounts of meetings and services held by him. According to these same traditions, there was somewhat of primi tiveness connected with everything that took place. No strenuous insistence in forms was required of those who desired to become, members; for instance, one might choose his own mode of baptism, tbe preacher being willing to administer that rite in tbe form that suited the con? science of the candidate. As was the general custom in the ante-bellum days both white and colored persons were ad? mitted into the fellowship of the church. The following story is told of old "Uncle Charlie Moore," a black man, who had been converted and wanted to join tbe church and be baptised. When asked how he preferred to have the rite of bap? tism administered, hescratched his woolly head thoughtfully fot a moment, and said : "If it does not make any differ? ence, I believe I'll take 'Old Saluda.'" After tbe death of Mr. Roberts, the church secured the services .of the Rev. James Lenderman, who served them for several years. Prior to 1859 a general hssitude came upon the church, and gradually the interest in religious work and meetings died out entirely. The building was then converted into a recep? tacle for old wagons, farming tools, &c, and having served this purpose for sever? al years, was at last torn down and de? stroyed. Its material part is a thing of the past, save the heaps of mouldering stones now hidden under the vines and bushes. We may Bafely say, however, that the influent" of its association are not and never c&u be dead or destroyed. A pure thought and a good deed outlasts the wrecks of time. The seeds of tbe gospel, however great or humble tbe sower may be, will spring up and blossom and bloom into perennial flowers whose beauty and fragrance are retained forever in the better world than this. You re truly, Old Coins. Crab Grass Hay. There is waste enough on many farms to treble or quadruple tbe income from United States bonds of like investment. Still the cry is "hard times." How much hay goes to waste every year on the aver? age farm ? Every farm should guard againBt this. It will pay to get a mower, though the farmer may not have any meadows: there is every year crab grass enough in the wheat fields, on ordinary farms, to justify the outlay for a mower. When the crop is sown, the fields should be smoothed with a harrow that the mower may run over it without any trou? ble. At the proper time, wheu the grass is fully in head, start the mower. If there ar many ragweeds in the field, start the mower just before they are in full bloom and they make very good winter forage for sheep, cattle and mules. Where there are small farms and farmers who cannot conveniently operate a ma? chine or afford to buy one, let them get mowing scythes with stocks adjusted al? ready for work, costing each about $1.35. With one of these any ordinary field hand, working two hours in a patch of good crab grass, can cut hay enough to pay for it. There is a great variety of weeds and grasses which grow spontan? eously on every farm, and generally in great luxurance, which would, if har? vested in time, make nutritious forage much relished by almost all kinds of farm stock. Is it not strange that so much of this goes to waste every year'? A good hand, without a machine, can save from three to five dollars' worth in a day: yet the farmer gathers up his hands and before his fodder is fully ripe, wading through fine grass up to his knees, com? mences stripping blades, taking care lo leave no green fodder in the field. He saves per hand about 100 bundles a day worth $1.25, while he injures the corn, from which it is pulled, from forty to sixty pounds. Thus he toils in sight, it may be, of a huge pile of decaying wheat and oat straw and chaff, which, if prop? erly cared for, would have furnished his stock an excellent forage crop. In order to make hay-saving easy, a good piece of low ground should be selected to sow in oats. Let the land thus selected be well fertilized and the oats sown in the fall, if it.is not subject to overflow.- After the oats are cut the crab grass will grow rap? idly and soon be ready to harvest. If ragweeds are likely to choke the grass they may be effectually checked by a little work with a cradle or mowing blade ; in this way I have known two good crops of crab grass saved from the same land in one year. Care should be taken riot to allow the grass to get wet after it once becomes dry. In a hot sun it will cure very scon after cutting, and when dry it will lose more than half its value in a single shower of rain. The best hay is saved by cutting in the morning and housing in the even? ing of the same day. When dried in this way it is bright aud retains all its nutri? tion : if is greedily oaf en ami easily di? gested by a'l kinds of Meet. If the fur mer is scarce of house room, the hay may be nicely saved in stacks in the field around poles; only protect the bottom from dampness and sharpen the top to turn the water. THOUGHTS ON MARRIAGE. Bill Nyo Bewails tho Woos of His Sex. Marriage is to a man, at once the hap? piest and saddest event of his life. He quits all the companions and associa? tions of his youth, and becomes the chief attraction of a new home. Every former tie is loosened, the spring of every hope and action is to be changed, aud yet he flees with joy to the untrodden paths before him. Then woe to the woman who can blight such joyful anticipations, and wreck the bright hopes of the trusting, faithful, fragrant masculine blossom, and bang his head up against the sink, and throw him under the cooking range, aud kick him into a three-cornered mass and then sit down on him. Little do wotaen realize that all a man needs under the broad cerulean dome of heaven is love?and board and clothes. Love is his life. If some woman or other don't love him, and love him like a hired man, he pines away and eventually climbs the golden stair. Man is born with strong yearnings for the unyearna ble, and he does not care so much for wealth as he does for some one who will love him under all circumstances and in all conditions. j If women would spend their evenings at home with their husbands, they would see a marked change in the brightness of their homes. Too many sad-eyed men are wearing away their lives at home alone. Would that I had a pen of fire to write in letters of living light the igno? miny and contumely and?some more things like that, the names of which have escaped my memory?that are to day be? ing visited upon my sexr Remember that your husband has the most delicate sensibilities, and keenly feels your coldness and neglect. The former may be remedied by toasting the feet over a brisk fire before going to bed, but the latter can only be remedied by a total reform on your part. Think what you promised his parents when you sued for his hand. Think how his friends, and several girls to whom he had at different times been engaged, came to you with tears in their eyes and besought you not to be unkind to him. Do these things ever occur to you as you throw him over the card table and mop the floor with his remains ? Do you ever feel the twinges of remorse after you have put an octago? nal head on him for not wiping the dish? es drier? Think what a luxurious home you took him from, and how his mother used to polish his boots and take care of him, and then consider what drudgery you subject him to now. Think what pain it must cause him when you growl and swear at him. Perhaps when you went away to your work you did not leave him wood and coal and water; does he ever murmur or repine at your neg? lect? Ah, if wives kuew the wealth of warm and true affection locked up in the bosoms of their husbands, aud would draw it out, instead of allowing the hired girl to get all the benefit, what a change there would be in this world of ours. But never do until the companion of their joys and sorrows has winged his way to the evergreen shore and takes charge of the heaventy orchestra, and then for about two weeks you will see a violently red proboscis glimmering and sparkling under a costly black veil, after which the good qualities of the deceased will be preserved in alcohol, to be thrown up to No. 2 in the bright days to come. Then, in conclusion, wives in Israel and other railroad towns, love your hus? bands while it is yet day. Give him your confidence. If your active corn manifests a wish to leave the reservation go to your husband with it. Lean on him. He will be solid muldon. He will get an old wood rasp and make that corn look sick. He is only waiting for your confi? dence and your trust. Tell him your business affairs and he will help you out. He will no doubt, offer to go without help in the house in order to economize, and be will think of numberless other little ways to save money. Do as we have told you and you will never regret it. Your lives will then be one great combination of rare and beautiful dis? solving views. You will journey down the pathway of your earthly existence with the easy poetical glide of tho fat man who steps on the treacherous orange peel. Your la3t days will be surrounded with a halo of love, and as your eyes get dim with age and one by one yjur teeth drop out, you can say with pride that you have never, never gone back on your solid pard. The Opium and Chloral Habit. It is quite common to read in the papers of the day small advertisements headed ? "The Opium Habit Cured". To persons who have never used opium aud who know very little about it, these little no? tices furnish very little interest. They eithe suppose that the opium habit is something like the habit of UBing tobacco, or suppose nothing at all about it. Be? fore we enter further into this subject we will give some idea of the opium habit and what these so-called cures are capa? ble of doing. Some years ago a young man of this city became a victim of the opium habit. He was warned by his physician that it would kill him, and he made several efforts to give it up. The unfortunate victim had become a slave of the drug and so completely in its power that he could not discontinue its uso without artificial aid. He purchased a bottle of "opium cure" and after taking some oi it called on his physician and said: "I am all right now ; I have a new medicine which answers my purpose ex? actly." The physician, noticing the dilated condition of the pupils of his eyes, warned him that the new medicine con taiucd belladonna, a drug as dangerous as opium. A few weeks passed, when on one Sunday morning the man rushed into the physician's office with his eyes almost bursting from their sockets and his parched and swollen tongut protruding from his mouth and fell on the sofa. It took two physicians several hours to save his life. So much for the opium cures. It is difficult for persona who have never used these drugs to understand why peo? ple will commence or continue anything that endangers life. They produce a steady, agreeable and permanent glow of physical and intellectual pleasure which lasts for nearly fifteen hours. Unlike | spirituous liquors, if taken in proper quantities they do not disorder the men? tal faculties, hut introduce order, harmo? ny and pleasurable serenity among them. The person under the influence of them is for *he time being in an enchanted land; pain is alleviated, the furrows of care are no longer seen upon the brow, and even death is robbed of its terrows. The pleasures are indescribable, but, ah ! the misery which follows! The victim then is in such a state that he will do anything to put himself back under the influence of the drug. He cannot stand the mental and physical sufferings, and hence the reason of the opium eater is seldom reformed. Another drug equally as fascinating and dangerous is now much used. It is commonly known as chloral. We were informed some time since that it is sold in Northern cities in cocktails. If this be true, then death and insanity are being dealt out rapidly. The num? ber of persons who use this drug through? out the world is astonishing, and the number in this country is increasing every year. Our city contains some victims. God pity them all, for the means torture worse than the rack.? Columbia Record. Affected by Surprise. A very large man, a desperate fellow who had often boasted that he could not be whipped, became involved in a quar? rel with a small man. Well, after the fight was over a friend of the desperate man said: "Why, Abe, he tore you all to pieces." "Yas." "Mopped Up the township with you." "That's whut." "Bit off one of your ears." "That's whut he done." "Ruined your clothes." "Yas." j "Pulled one of your eyes out." "B'l'eve he did." "Knocked out a couple of teeth." j "Reckon you're right." "He don't weigh 100 pounds, either." "Don't b'l'eve he does." "I suppose you hate to be whipped?'' "Oh, no, Billy, I dou't mind beins whipped, ken stand to lose my ears an' teeth, but thar's one thing about the affair that makes me mad." "What's that, Abe?" "Why the surprise o' the thing. I reckon I hate 'stonishinent wus than any man in the world. Why I thought I could whale that feller with one hand, but I was never more astonished in my life. Why, the way that fool feller fit shocked me?'stonished me, I tell you. Oh, no, I doG't mind the whippin,' but Billy, why didn't he do it gracefully so I wouldn't uv been so s'prised ? I don't like that feller."?Arkansas Traveller. Advice to Stoop-Shouldered People. A stooping figure is not only a familiar expression of weakness or old age, but it is, when caused by careless habits, a di? rect cause of contracted chest and defec? tive breathing. Unless you rid yourself of this crook while at school you will probably go bent to your grave. There is one good way to cure it. Shoulder braces will not help. One needs not au artificial substitute, some means to devel? op the muscles whose duty it is to hold the head and shoulders erect. I know of but oue bull's-eye shot. It is to carry a weight on the head. A sheepskiu or other strong bag filled with twenty or thirty pounds of sand is a good weight. When engaged in your morning studies, either before or after breakfast, put the bag sand on your head, hold your head erect, draw your chin close to your nock, and walk slowly about the room, coming back, if you please, every minute or two to your book, or carrying the book as you walk. The muscles whose duty it is to hold the bead and shoulder erect are hit, not with scattering shot, but with a rifle ball. The bones of the spine and the intervertebral substance wi'l soon accommodate themselves to the new atti? tude. One year of daily practice with the bag, half an hour morning and even? ing, will give you a noble carriage, with? out interfering a moment with your studies.?Hall's Journal of Health. Don't be too Fine, Dr. Thad Davidson, in his new book for young men, "Forewarned, Forearm? ed," hits out at the "fine young man" in this style: "He admires a scarf or a breast-pin, and, as he must have it, he purchases on credit, and, ten to one, before he has money to pay, the one is threadbare or the other is lost; and so be grudges payment, and is tempted to evade it. Thus the mischief grows. Don't seek to be too fine. Be manly enough to appear just as you are. Be content to begin life at the beginning, and to wait, as others have done before you, till your income warrants this or that unnecessary indulgence. It is an awkward-looking arrangement when a youth begins with the large end of the horn, and comes out at the small end." Buckleu's Arnaca Salve.

Atlanta pipers are giving the public some curious and wonderful cases that are quite interesting. It seems a young lady of Atlanta had been reported as dead, but it came to the ears of a Consti? tution reporter that she was still alive, and being on the alert for news, called at her residence to learn all the facts. Miss Dunaway, who had been pronounced dead,said: "For four years, rheumatism and neu? ralgia have resisted physicians aud all other treatment. My muscles seemed to dry up, my flesh shrank away, my joints were swolle.3, painful and large, lost ray appetite, was reduced to GO pounds in weight, and for months was expected to die.

It gave me an appetite?give me streugth, relieved all my pains a ad aches, added flesh to my bones, and when five bottles had been used, I had gained 50 pounds of flesh, and am to-day sound and well." Mr. J. P. Davis, of West End. What Mr. J. P. Davis, of West End, said : "I have only a few words to say, which are to state that I have been con? fined to my bed for two months with what was called Nervous Rheumatism, or Sciatica. I was only enabled to hobble about occas ionally by the use of crutches, and in this condition I commenced the use of B. B. B., four bottles of which enabled me to discard the use of my crutches and attend to business. I had previously used all well recommended medicines without relief. It has been over oue year since using B. B. B., and I consider myself permanently cured." Mr. R. P. Dodge, Yardmastcr Ga. R. R. makes a statement: "My wife has been a great sufftrer from catarrh. Several physicians and various patent medicines were resorted to, yet the disease contin? ued unabai:ed, nothing appearing to make any impression upon it. Her constitu? tion finally became implicated, the poi? son being in her blood. I secured a bottle of B. B. B. and placed her upon its use, and to our surprise the improvement began at once, and her recovery was rapid and complete. No other prepara? tion ever produced such a wonderful change, and for all forms of Blood Dis? ease I cheerfully recommend B. B. B. as a superior Blood Purifier." Mr. James L. Bosworth Buttonholed. "Yes," said Mr. James L. Bosworth, an old Atlantian, "it was twelve years ago when I contracted a terrible case of blood poisoniDg. I had no appetite, did not sleep well at night, my digestion was im? paired, my throat was cauterized five times, and in fact I was a total wreck. I had been under the treatment of several of the leading physicians of Atlanta; tried near.y every blood remedy adver? tised ; went to Hot Springs, where I re? mained several months, receiving no ben? efit whatever. A truly wonderful blood remedy wns recommended, known as B. B. B. I t:sed it, and, sir, 5 bottles cured me, and I really believe it to be the grandest and quickest blood remedy ever known."
