The Child-Wife.
The child-wife iB the most interesting,
as she is too often the most pathetic,
character which we have to study in the'
drama of everyday life that is being en
.-acted-'around usif We find her most ac?
curately protrayed, perhaps, in the per?
son of Dora, the fond and foolish bride
of .David Copperfield', and the utter un
fitnessof thiB silly creature for the place
in which she was installed in her hus?
band's heart and home, is shown-by the
great master with a touch that is as
strong as it is tender, and with a fidelity
of description that spares neither our
contempt nor our tears. It is not in the
nature of things ? that children should
marry each other, and it is no whit better
for either of the ill-mated, unmatched
pair when a woman takes to herself a
boy-husband, or a man seeks support and
counsel and comfort in the society of a
child-wife.
They say that love is blind, aud the
argument is used by the Optimists, hold?
ing that all things are ordered for the
best, to maintain that "what is done is
past recalling," and that the special
providence of the blind god watches
over his tender but misguided votaries.
The apologists?for they can be nothing
else?for marriage in practical childhood
are very fond of quoting the instance of
somebody in France, who became a bride
at thirteen and lived "happily forever
afterwards." But the argument is open
to the fata] objection that it proves noth?
ing: for philosophers do not usually
imild very strong, arguments on special
instances.
There are, of course, two high con?
tracting parties to early marriages, and
unfortunately the greater share of the
burden of consequent unhappiness falls
with dulling force on the school-girl
bride. Why this should be so is appa?
rent at the first blush. That the world
is full of misfits needs no proof. The
ill-matched are numerous in the land,
and in many cases the wrecked life or
lives are easily traceable to that haste to
marry which leaves so much time for the
traditional repentance at leisure. It is a
"liard thing to. say,"but it should be0 said,
that the want of common nenso in mak
; ing matches always carries with it a la?
tent measure of retributive justice.
A very young wife may become through
years of culinary discipline a most ex?
cellent housekeeper, but she sadly inis-.
judges the :.object :of married life when
she loses sight of the fact that a clever
housekeeper is not necessarily the life
?long compaion whom a husband seeks.
The child-wife enters upon the blessed
state of marriage fresh from school,
with an indifferent share of the most
elementary knowledge, and a thorough?
going belief inthe romance of life; and
there her education, ceases.. She has no
time for improvement, and before many
years roll round she finds that an almost
impassable gulf divides and continues to
?divide her and her h6ro. The' pretty
little Juliet, who was once the equal of
Romeo, and met every requirement of his
taste, has fallen sadly into the background
and although, which is doubtful, he may
j.C?rfh'hne to cherish her, he can't help
i instituting comparisons bet (veen her. and
other womeD who have not rushed in
where , even angels fear to tread. She
cannot fail to understand the difference
between herself and the ideal wife, and
?then and there the sad story begins to be
told, the last chapter- of which ends
only with the grave. Such women as
'these forget that men do not stop learn?
ing worldly wisdom on their marriage
day. They "are abroad in the world's
'great school, rising higher and. higher,
day by day, over the romantic recluse at
home who sits idly down, unconsciously
:weavinglhe web in which Ehe is eventu?
ally cnsnared'and made wretched.
It is the law of nature that gay youth
sball love gay youth, and the gayer they
are the more loving will'thuy be, but it is
time enough, to marry whsn a girl has
reached the age and measure of discre?
tion when she can look beneath the ro?
mantic exterior of Prince Charming"and
estimate him by his practical -merits.
There may be happy marriages as the
result of young love's dreamS, but it
should always be taken into consideration
that in the lottery of love the; chances
are against it, and that those who take
the chances must take the consequences.
It is a hard matter to draw the line at
any particular place and say, here you
shall marry ana here yon shall not, for
the all-sufficient reason that such advice
unfortunately; is seldom taken. Too
much advice often lands tie advisee in
the forties, and she spends in vain the
rest-of her solitary existence trying to
prove to the shy cavaliers that there is a
good deal of truth in the'Japanese phil?
osophy that, "a maiden's all the better
when she's tough." ?
It may be urged, however, with all due
regard for the hasty or dilatory in mat?
ters matrimonial, that it is best to "bide
a-wee"?always so long, and longer if
possible. Make haste slowly, and do not
forget that the "holiday," whenever yon
agree to have it, soon draws to a close.
Honeymoons are not spent at home, and
home is the place where the lesson of
life is to be learned. If the prospects of
happiness could be summed up in a few
words they would, to our mind, rest on
the philosophical consideration that "pa?
tience, forbearance, faith, and the sort of
love that will make one happy in making
concessions to the other," are necessary
to that "true union of souls, without
which there can be no complete marriage
?no marriage that can withstand the
blight of winter days."
The Boys that are Wanted.
"Distance leads enchantment," and
the city looks well from the farm.. Per?
haps yon dp not see the thorns and this
i ties, but they crow in the city. Home
discipline may be hard to bear, but in it
are the germs of all successes. Parents
midway in the temple of life, certainly
must know more than those standing
upon the threshold. It is always safe to
listen to the voices of wisdom and affec?
tion. Ton may not be permitted to con?
trol, all things at home, but please re?
member before seeking the larger liberty
of the city, that you control nothing
here. You may wear store clothes, but
you must be the servant of all. Liberty
and ease are the fruits of toil.
The boy who knows more than his
parents and teachers, goes to the wall in
tirs-city. Success depends upon indus?
try, obedience, economy, and purity,
brown hands clean tongues and pure
hearts are in great demand in the city.
A country loafer becomes a city loafer,
and neither city nor country crowns loaf?
ers. The earthquake never breaks the
ground so as to leave the gold, at their
Feet. Boys whose noble and manly lives
are the guiding impulse of the pastor's
hand when writing letters of condemna?
tion received the most cordial welcome
from merchants here.
There is a famine of boys who feel that
God is watching them, and who are true
to their employers because of the loyalty
to their heavenly Master. The demand
for scch is always greater than the sup?
ply. In the clay you must begin way
down, but smilingly submit to the inevi?
table, and make each day tell how much,
and not how little good work you can do,
and you will be in the line olf promotion.
Never desire to coin a dollar except
around the golden rule. You may not
accumulate as rapidly and still love your
neighbor as yourself, but the smile of
Gou will be upon every dollar. If you
are a country boy you will not have so
many" temptations, perhaps, but every
one of "ourboys'' will find honesty to be
the best policy at all times and in all
places.? Chr?tifinat,' Work.

Evaporated Fruits.
We are indebted, says the Columbia
i-Regisler, to Mr. W. Orland Smith for a
notice of the proceedings of the Fruit and
Vegetable Growers' Association, held at
Columbus, Ohio, June*the 17th.
We quote from the slip forwarded the
Register, the following information touch?
ing, a matter of much moment to South?
ern farmers and Southern people generally.
We allude to the saving of fruit and
vegetables by the new process of evapo?
ration :
"The most interesting discussions were
ou the value and use of fruits and the best
methods of preparing fruit for market
and preserving it for family use. .The
opinion seemed prevalent that evaporated
fruit was bound to obtain and hold the
highest position in public favor. Not
only is evaporated fruit superior in ap?
pearance, in flavor, in healthfuiness and
in keeping properties, but it commands
a much higher price; ordinary dried ap?
ples are worth from two to two and a half
cents per pound, evaporated apples from
eight to ten cents. Common dried
peaches are worth from three to five cents,
evaporated from eighteen to twenty-two1
cents. Ezra Arnold, the Illinois fruit
grower, presented drawings and specifica?
tions of a cheap evaporator made and
used by himself with which he has had
better success than with the more expen?
sive dry houses and evaporators. He
evaporated apples in two hours, straw?
berries in three hours, peaches in two
hours, eben: es in two hours, corn in two
hours, and all kinds of fruits proportion?
ately quick. The evaporator is a marvel
of simplicity and excellence, and can be
made by any one at a very trifling cost.
By its use millions of dollars can be saved
the producer and consumer each year.
There are thousands of families that dry
large qnantities of fruit annually in the
oldfashioned, slow way, and sell it at the
oldfasbioned, low price, when they could
with but little expense make an evapora?
tor and evaporate five times as much fruit I
and sell it for five times as much per :
pound.. There are thousands of families
in the cities that can at times, when the |
market is glutted, buy fruit for less than j
the cost of production, and with ah evap?
orator can prepare in a few days suffi?
cient fruit for a year's consumption, and
at one-tenth the usual expenditure. Mr.
Arnold said he did not intend to make or
sell evaporators and would consign to the
Association his right and title to his
evaporators, provided the Association
would, procure cuts to illustrate the dif?
ferent parts and distribute gratuitously,
among the farmers, fruit raisers and con?
sumers of the United States complete
illustrated directions for making aha us?
ing this evaporator."
Mr. Arnold's proposition was accepted
by the association, and the Secretary was
instructed -to inform the people of each
State through the press that the illustrat?
ed directions for making and using Ar?
nold's fruit evaporator will be furnished
by addressing the Secretary, W. Orlando
Smith, Alliance, Ohio, Box 104, and
enclosing a stamp for return postage.
r . Where so much fruit and vegetables
rot for want of ready home market or
transportation, as is largely tbo case all
over the.South, it will readily appear of
what value to Southern farmers this
cheap process of Mr. Arnold's will prove.
If five times the amount can be saved by
evaporation and sold for five times the
Srice now obtained, what ought it not to
o for the Southern farmer if it can be
put to such account with us ?
What would it not do for our sweet
potato crop ? The Cotton States made in
1880 27,800,603 bushels of sweet potatoes
out of 33,378,693 for the whole country..
The same States made in 1860 35,976,422
out of a total of 42,095,026. It is thus
seen that these States wont back in 1880
in sweet potato ..production over eight
millions of bushels a year on the produc?
tion of I860, although they had gained
over eleven million bushels annual pro?
duction on that of 1870. If we should
make the same rate of increase in 1890
that we did from '70 to '80 it would show
a sweet potato crop in 1890 of 50,000,000
bushels. It will be seen these States were
making some 4$ bushels to the inhabitant
in 1860 and less than 2} bushels in 1880.
Now, with an increase no greater than
that from '60 to '80 the cotton States
would have a population of 14,500,000 in
1890. calling for a sweet potato crop of
nearly sixty-nine bushels at old ra'e of
I860.
There can be little doubt of the capaci?
ty of the South to make this crop and
thrice the same without any material
change in its agricultural industries.
Now, it 1b known that at least one-fourth
if this crop is lost from rottage, and not
only this, that a vast consumption for the
palatable esculent, a favorite everywhere
in our own country and abroad, is l?st
because the crop will not bear transport?
ation to any distance, nor will it keep
when transported.
If we can inaugurate this cheap evap?
oration process our sweet potato crop
would for the first time become a crop
that could go to all the markets of the
world freely. In such an event there
would be no limit to production, which,
should it yield an average of thirty cents
a bushel ou the farm with a steady mar?
ket before it, would soon give the South
another new and great industry. We
could feed the starving millions of the
world besides clothing them.
We hope, then, our South Carolina
farmers will not fail to take advantage of
the liberal offer of the Fruit and Vegeta?
ble Association, and send for the direc?
tions of the new Arnold method.
True Business Principles.
It is as easy to be a rich man as a poor
one. Half the energy displayed in keep?
ing ahead that is required to catch up
when behind would save credit, give
more time to attend to business, and add
to the profit and reputation of those who
work for gain. Honor your engage?
ments. If you promise to meet a man or
to do a certain thing a certain moment,
he ready at the appointed time. If you
go on business, attend promptly to mat?
ters on hand, then as promptly go about
your own business.
Do not stop to tell stories in business
hours.
If you have a place of business be
j found there when wanted. No man can
get rich by sitting around stores. Never
fool on business matters. Have order,
system, regularity, liberality, promptness.
Do not meddle with business you know
nothing of. Never buy an article you
do not need, simply because it is cheap
and the mau who sells it will take it out
in trade. Trade is money. Strive to
avoid harsh words and personalities. Do
not kick every stone in the path ; more
miles can be made in a day by going
steadily on than by stopping to kick.
Pay as you go. A man ot honor respects
his word as he does his bond. Aid, but
never beg. Help others when you can,
but never give what you cannot afford to,
simply because it is fashionable. Learn
to say "no." No necessity for snapping
it out in dog-fashion, but say it firmly
and respectfully. Have but few confid?
ants, and the fewer the better. Use your
own brains rather than those of others.
Learn to think and act for yourself. Be
vigilant. Keep ahead rather than behind
time.
Young man, cut this out if there be
folly in the argument, let us know.
How a boy led a Charge.
In an interesting sketch of a campaign
in the West in 1863, a writer in a Mem?
phis paper says: Officers und men vied
with each other in deeds of daring. One
especial case deserves mention. Accom?
panying Gen. Forrest was a little boy,
scarcely 12 years old, who was serving as
a courier. This little boy had, a day or
two before, dropped iuto a Tennessee
battalion commanded by a major. Short?
ly after the light began the major wus
killed and the command retreated in con?
fusion. But this little boy rallied the
battalion, and led them three times to
the charge upon the enemy's lines, but
without dislodging them. Heroic boy!
I shall never forget the scene of a little
midgit, scarcely large enough to guido a
horse, leading a battalion of bravo and
dauntless men right up to the enemy's
ranks I He came out unscathed.
? He that swells in prosperity will
shrink in adversity.
I How It Feels to be Hanged.
Theodore Baker, of Santa Fe, New
J Mexico, has been through an almost un?
precedented experience. He killed a
man named Unrow, and was in jail for
the crime. One night recently masked
men hanged him ana, after fifteen min?
utes had elapsed, left him as dead. In
several hours he was restored to life.
He says:
"I went with them, and at tbe jail
door I began to curse them, when one of
them put the muzzle of his pistol to my
ear and said: 'Keep still, or I'll put a
bullet through you.' I knew him by bis
voice, and knew he would do it, and I
kept still. A little further on we came
toja telegraph pole. From the crossbar
Bwung a new ropo. On the end was a
big slipnoose. They led me under the
rope. I tried to stoop down and pull my
boots off, as I had promised my folks not
to die with my boots on, but before I
could do it the noose was thrown over
my head and I was jerked off my feet.
My senses left me a moment, and then
I waked up in what seemed to be another
world. As I recollect now, tbe sensation
- was that everything about mo had been
multiplied a great many times. It
seemed that my five executioners had
grown in number until there were thou?
sands of them. I saw what seemed to
be a multitude of animals of all Bhapes
: and sizes. Then things changed and I
was in great pain. I became conscious
that I was hanging by the neck, and that
the knot of the rope bad slipped around
under my chin. My hands were loosely
tied, and I jerked them loose and tried
to catch the rope above me. Somebody
caught me by tbe feet just then and gave
me a jerk. It seemed like a bright flash
of lightning passed in front of my eyes.
It was the brightest thing I ever saw. It
was followed by a terrible pain up and
down and across ray back, and I could
feel my legs jerk and draw up. Then
there was a blank, and I koew nothing
more nntil 11 o'clock the next day.
'* * * My first recollection was being
in the court room and Baying: ' vVho cut
me down ?' There was a terrific ringing
in my ears like tbe beating of gongs. I
recognized no one. The pain in my
back continued. Moments of uncon?
sciousness followed during several days,
and I have very little recollection of tbe
journey here. Even after I bad been
locked up in this prision for safe keeping,
for a long time I saw double. Dr. Sym?
ington, the prison physician, looked like
two persons. I was still troubled with
spells of total forgetfulness. Sometimes
it seemed I didn't know who I was."
Every Time,
.Every time I decline to defend a prin?
ciple that I believe in, I prove myself an
office-hunter and a coward.
? Every time I speak positively on any
subject I must expect to offend some
one.
Every moment of time I lose is a rob?
bery of myself.
Every time I fear death I prove I am
not fit to live.
Every time that I doubt by ability to
perform, I lose a portion of my power to
accomplish.
Every time I speak a kind word, I
am adding a brick in my temple of man?
hood.
" Every time I tell the truth I add to
my strengt'a of character.
Every time I refuse a glass of liquor I
am improving my manhood.
Every time I speak cross and impet?
uously I'm weakening my nerve power
and aiding to the misery of some one.
Every time I paj a debt, I am doing
right, and helping to put money in
circulation.
Every time I refuse to do a favor when
I can as well as not, I prove that I am
growing meau.
. Every time I refain speaking in defense
of a friend, I prove thatl am not a friend.
Every time I give to distant charities
to tho neglect of those at home, I am
guilty of giving only for vain glory.
Every time I borrow a newspaper I do
a very small act.
Every time I oppress a servant, I am
guilty of a sin against Ood.
Every time I inflict pain upon a dumb
animal, I lower myself below tho victim
of my anger.
Great Hen Persecuted.
There is a discouraging list to the
honest pursuer of truth and right. Fame
is more easily won than maintained.
But the fame of those whose name com?
poses time. If you are willing to accept
the l?t/struggle on brave fellow and per?
haps some day your name will bo associ?
ated with those that follow:

Ben Butler And Father Ryan.
The late poet-priest of the South fre-1
quently told the following-anecdote of
his stay in New Orleans: It was during
the war when Gen. Butler was in charge
of the city. A Catholic soldier in the
Union forces there died, and because
some one blundered no religious rites j
were observed at the funeral. It was re
ported to Butler that Father Ryan had i
refused to read tbe burial service. In a
towering rage Butler sent for the priest
and in tbe most peremptory and offensive
way demanded why he was not given all
the honors of the church to the deceased.
Father Eyan quietly explained the mat- '
ter, showing that be was not to blame;
that the fault was due to the comrades of
the dead Boldier, and added; "It is,
therefore, not true that I refused to bury
him. It is also uot true I have publicly
and repeatedly refused to officiate at the
funeral of any Federal soldier or officer.
On the contrary, it is the reverse of the
truth, for, general, it would give me great
pleasure to bury tho whole lot of you!"
Butler's stern face relaxed into a grim
smile, and from that day he and Father
Ryan had no further trouble in common.
Great Physicians.
As tho celebrated French physician,
Desmoulins, lay on his death bed, he was
visited and almost constantly surrounded
by the most distinguished medical men
of Paris, as well as the prominent citi?
zens of the French metropolis. Great
were the lamentations of all at the loss
about to be sustained by the profession
in the death of one they regarded as its
brightest ornament; but Desmoulins
spoke cheerfully to his fellow practition?
ers, assuring them that he would leave
behind three physicians much greater
than himself. Each of the doctors, hop?
ing that his own name would be called,
inquired anxiously who was sufficiently
illustrious to surpass the immortal Des?
moulins. With great distinctness tho
dying man answered: "They are Water,
Exercise and Diet. Call in the services
of the first freely, of the second regularly,
and of the third moderately. Follow this
advice and you may dispense with my aid.
Living, I could do nothing without them,
and dying I shall not be missed if you
-make friends with Iheao my faithful
coadjutors."
? "In weakness there is strength," re-1
marked the boarder as he put a chunk of
Samson butter in his coffee.
The Tolne of Snowing: How*
While Judge Tracy was on the circuit,
going from court, his trace broke. The
judge spent over a half hour trying to
fix it, but to no purpose. His patience
was exhausted, and he expressed his vex?
ation in words. A negro came along,
and the judge told him of his difficulty.
The negro let out the trace, cut a hole in
it, and the job was done.
"Why," said the judge, could I not
have thought of that ?"
"Well, marster," said the negro,
don't you know that some folks is jest
smarter than some other folks ?"
"That's so," Baid the judge. "What
shall I pay you for fixing my trace ?"
"Well, marster, fifty cents will do,"
replied the negro.
"Fifty cents I" said the judge. "You
were not five minutes at it!"
"I do not charge you fifty cents for
doing it," said the negro. "I charge you
twenty-five cents for doing it, and twenty
five cents for knowing how to do it."
Sublime Self-Sacrifice.
At the siege of Turin, in 1706, the
French bad obtained possession of one of
the subterraneous galleries which com?
municated with the citadel. Hoping by
this means to make themselves masters
of the citadel they had secretly posted in
the gallery a party of 200 grenadiers. A
Piedmontese peasant named Micha, who
had been forced to serve as a pioneer, and
who had been made a corporal, was at
work on a mine near the spot with twenty
men. Hearing the French overhead, and
convinced that if they remained a mo?
ment longer masters of the gallery the
fortress would bo lost, he determined to
sacrifice his own life to save the place.
He immediately sent away his comrades,
desiring them to let him know by the
discharge of a musket when they were
out of reach of danger. As soon as he
heard the signal he put the match to the
mine and blew himself up along with 200
grenadiers. The king of Sardinia re?
warded bis wife and children, whom at
the moment of bis death, Micha had
recommended to his care, and he likewise
settled a pension on the whole of his
family.
Learning a Horse to Pace.
To teach a horse to pace, take 9 or 10
pounds of lead, divide in four parts,
equal to 3} inches by 41 in size; make
two boles in each end of these leads,
fasten two of them together and have
them padded. Then fasten them on the
horse's legs, one on each hind leg, just
above the ankle joint. Eide your horse
briskly with those weights upon his
ankles, at the same time pulling each
rein of tho bridle alternately. By this
means you immediately throw him into a
pace. After you have in this way trained
him to some extent, change your leaden
weights to something lighter; leather
paddings or something equal to it will
answer the purpose. Let him wear the
light weights until be is perfectly trained.
By adopting.this plan you will speedily
make a smooth and easy pacer of any
horse.
The Soft Chains of Hymen.
People who have called upon President
Cleveland since his wedding remark with
pleasure the change which that event has
created in him. Instead of the rough
and somewhat uncouth man that he was
three weeks ago, he has developed into a
very agreeable and companionable per?
son. The stern appearance with which
he formerly greeted visitors has given
way to a smile which is as hearty as it is
pleasing. The refining influences of the
wedding ring are beginning to make
themselves manifest in the Buffalo man,
and there is rejoicing in consequence.?

Forty Years a, Sufferer from

WONDERFUL TO RELATE!
"FOR forty years I have bocn a victim to CA?
TARRH?three-fourths of the ?iuo a sufferer from
excruciating pains across my forehead and my
nostrils. The discharges were so offensive that I
hesitate to mention it, except for the good it may.
do some other sufferer. I have spent a young for?
tune from my earnings during my forty years of
suffering to obtain relief from tho doctors. I bavo
tried patent medicines?every one I could learn
of?from the four corners oldho earth, with no
relief. And at last (57 years or age) have met with
a remedy that has cured me entirely?made me a
new man. I weighed 128 pounds and now weigh
113. I used thirteen bottlis of tho medicine, and
tho only regret I have is that being in the humble
walks of lifo I may not have influence to prevail
on all Catarrh suflerors to use what has cured me,

Tho country is flooded with bogus med?
icine men, and in a few cases a heavy
capital is all they have to sustain their
prestige. Numerous chverly concocted
certificates are forced upon the unsus?
pecting, purporting to have "snatched
from the grave" some poor victim of
blood poison or other disease, when to
our knowledge the identical persons lay
groaning in agony while the public were,
reading of their remarkable recovery.
Another serious offense is the publica?
tion of erroneous statements concerning
various drugs, such as are daily pre?
scribed by our best physicians, declaring
them to be deadly poisons. Iodide of
potash, which seems t3 receive their
greatest condemnation, when prescribed
by physicians and in the proper combina?
tion with certain compounds, is not only
harmless, but forms one of the most pow?
erful antagonists to blood poison known
to the medical world. II. B. B. (Botanic
Blood Balm) contains iodide of potash.
This company hold hundreds "of genuine
certificates from persons who have been
cured of various diseases arising from an
impure state of the blood by tho use of
B. B. B. The question now is, if iodide
of potash is such a terrible enemy to
health, why is it that th;j Blood Balm Co.
have made within two years the most
gigantic sales and cures ever before made
on American soil ? Whe rever introduced

there could not cure me. For some time
I have been using B. B. B., and the
effects astonish every one, and I enclose
several pieces of bones which it has
