We have among our farmers in LaurenB County, S. C, living exemplications of this adage, but I will call attention to 1 two at this time, to show to the youog men of the present day, who are afraid to marry for fear that they will fail to make a support for their wives, what has been done on small farms by pluck, brains, energy and economy. One of these is Gideon Yeargio, now over 75 years old; the other is Piuckney Blake* ley, yet in the prime of life, but haviog lost a leg during the war, be has to walk on a wooden leg. Mr. Yeargin married when 31 years of age ; owned a $40 pony. At his father's death he bought a portion of the old homestead, which he and his wife paid for by their own work. He bought at the start eleven pounds of bacon. Since then he has bought neither meat, corn or flour for his own use, but rarely fails to have corn for sale. He has raised thirteen children, all but two daughters. All were learned to work, but their edu? cation was not neglected; all received fair educations. Some of the daughters are teachers, being able to teach the dead languages. The father did most of the ploughing, and yet can plough all day. It is a remarkably pious family, every member belonging to a church, including sons and daughters-1n-law, and one is a preacher. All are Methu ?" but one, and he is a Presbyterian, lue children have all married and left the old people, where they began, and, I think, are all prospering. A grand? daughter, Miss Mary Yeargin, took the first honor in a very large and talented class at the Methodist Female College in Columbia, and is now an honored teacher in that college. This shows that she inherits much of the family pluck and push, without which no one succeeds in anything that is commendable or profita? ble. While looking cn at our county fair two years ago, a friend remarked: "Yon? der is the best farmer in Laurene." I asked who; he said, Pinck Blakely, who makes an abundant support on thirty nine acres of land, and haB the best of fruits, grapes, poultry and so forth, and does nearly all the work himself on a wooden leg; and yet he has money to attend world fairs, State fairs and en? campments. He takes and reads agri? cultural papers, and is altogether a progressive farmer. About two weeks ago 1 had the good fortune to spend a part of a day and night at his. home, and found the allega? tion true. He told me that his father gave him this little farm about eighteen years ago. A great portion was then covered with flint rocks, all of which he has hauled ont on the lower side of his farm, which is smartly rolling land, and uses them to wall np the lower portions so as to prevent the land washing away into another's field. One of these walls, or terraces, is about fifty yards long, and the land above it is about equal to the best bottom land, being the soil that escaped from the higher land. By judi? cious management, proper ploughing, mannring, cropping, ditching, terracing, &c., he has brought his laud into such fine tilth that he makes abundant crops of all kinds. He diversifies his crops and manures all liberally, and his returns reward him liberally for his toil; but it is very pain that he has eaten but little idle bread. He has also, with his own hands, built him a comfortable and com? modious barn to shelter his stock and provender. He did not have the advan? tage of an education, but the same will that makes the farmer has given him in? telligence. He reads seven or eight pa? pers and keeps well informed on current events. I have seen no such oats, wheat, clover and grass as he has. I say all honor to such men, who demonstrate in their lives and work what maybe done on small farms. The trouble with most young men is, when they go to buy land, they buy too much. Better start with a little and add to it, than more and have to sell it to pay for it. A good living may be made on ten acres, with brain, muscle, energy and economy, for a small family. The motto should be, "Live within your income."? J, Washington Watts in' Weekly News and Courier. . The Earth's Support. In the early gropings of the human mind probably no problem was more perplexing than that of the earth's foun? dations. One of the roost primitive ideas represented the earth us a vast flat island, surrounded by an interminable ocean; and this view was subsequently modified by giving the ocean a circular boundary, with endless mots stretching downward beneath the whole. The priest of Yerda asserted that the earth was supported on twelve columns, between which the sun passed. Anazimander regarded the earth as a cylinder floating in compressed air. The idea that the earth floated long pre? vailed, even the early Hindoos, who supposed the hemispherical earth to rest on the heads of four elephants standing on the back of a tortoise, maintaining that the tortoise rested on the universal ocean. Aristotle and Strabo conceived the sphericity of the earth, but what supported it as the motionless centre of their universe "puzzled them. Cos mas, A. D., 535, propounded the system of a square earth, resting on nothing, and supporting the heavens on solid walls. The veneMtble Bede, who lived in the eighth century regarded the earth as a floating egg, and this notion lasted many centuries. These erode theories have come down to a surprisingly recent period ?so much a thing of to day is our modern science. _^ Independent Journalism.

For Bale By Simpson, Reid & Co., A Proper Pardon, At the March term of Court for Pick cub County in 1879, E. C. Denton, a white man, was convicted of mule stealing and sentenced by Judge Frazer to two years' imprisonment in the penitentiary and a fine of twenty dollars. The foregoing simple statement of facts gives no glimpse of the curious circumstances surrounding the case, which are presented below, being taken from the petition for pardon sent in: The petition Bets forth that about the year 1878 a lad by the name of E. C. Denton was induced by a contractor to leave his widowed mother in Sullivan County, Tennessee, and go to Spartan* burg, this State, where employment was promised him; that soon after his arrival his pretended friend abandoned the lad and left him alone among strangers. Without money or without friends, and while endeavoring to reach home, he ob? tained employment in a livery stable, whose proprietor, at the expiration of the month, refused him wages. Under these circumstances, and in an unguarded hour, the boy took a mule from the stable and started home, bnt afterwards, abandoned the mule on the way and con? tinued on foot, but was overtaken, tried and convicted, but his tender years, together with the circumstances of his case, softened the heart of the Judge, and a sentence of only two years was imposed. After about one-half of the time had expired, an opportunity arising, the boy escaped* and started home. He reached Bristol, Tenh., his home, and has remained a citizen of that State openly, without changing his name or seeking to conceal himself, ever since. He is a brick mason by trade, an in? dustrious, honest and sober man, and has by his upright conduct commended himself to all of his friends in East Ten nessee, and fully restored himself to their good opinion and good graces, so much so that not long ago he married a lady from Virginia with whom he has lived very happily. Denton was arrested at the instance of a man whose malice he had- incurred on account of his manly defence of an un? protected woman. This petition is sign? ed by numbers of the city officers of Bris? tol, Tenn., and other woithy citieens. The Governor of Tennessee writes a very long and urgent letter in Denton's behalf and the Solicitor recommends his pardon. "in consideration of the foregoing cir? cumstances, the very evident reform of the prisoner, the recommendation of the Solicitor, the strong endorsement of his fellow citizens of Tennessee, cte., the Governor has granted a full pardon.? Columbia Register. Lore in the Spirit. In a sermon preached by Dr. Doug* lass, of Montreal, he speaks of the power of kindness, united with the power of the Holy Ghost in the reformation of a mnrderess: "In one of the Western States there was an aged woman of seventy, a murder? ess who for twenty-seven years was the terror of the penitentiary. As the law bad failed it was determined to try the effects of Christianity npon her. Chained at her wrists and ankles to a chair, she was carried by some armed men and Bet down in the vestibule of a Christian Reformatory. When the. matron, a Quaker lady, full of the blessed Spirit, came to receive her, though the glare of a fiend was in the felon's eye, she demanded her instant release. The guards remonstrated, but she insisted. Immediately on her release the matron stepped up, and placing her hand on her shoulder, kissed her cheek. Instantly the eyes, long unused to weep were suf? fused with tears. Instantly falling at the feet of her benefactress, she kissed the hem of her garment, baptizing her feet with her tears. In a brief space she was converted, in three months she became the saint of the place, and in three years she became the angel of that reformatory. What did it? The Holy Ghost fell npon her, and she stood forth like the King's daughter, all glorious within. Oh, for faith in the all con* quering energy of the Holy Ghost I"? Christian Witness. Marry Some Other Girl. "Yes, darling, he said, in tones of deep tenderness, I would do anything to show my love for yon." "Ah 1 sighed the gentle maiden, that's what all men say when they are striving to win a woman's heart." "Put me to the proof, he exclaimed, in wild, passionate tones,, put me to tbe proof, test me and see if I fail. Set me at any task within tbe bounds of possi? bility, and it shall be performed." "Ahl she murmured, if I could only believe you 1" "Put me to tbe teat. Say to me do this or that, and it shall be done." "Then I will put you to the test." "Ah 1. he exclaimed exultiogly, yon shall behold the height and tbe deptb, the length, the breadth, tbe circumfer? ence of my loye! What is the test ?" The maiden dropped her snowy lids until the silken lashes rested on tbe peach bloom of her cheek, a Blight smile dimpled the corners of her mouth, and bending over the youth, who knelt at her feet, she whispered: "Marry some other girl 1" If ever a young man was justified in committing suicide, that young man was, for all his sweetness had been wasted. Be a Good Man Papa. Leaving home this morning for tbe office, we kissed our little four-year old good bye, saying to him, "Be a good boy, to day." He somewhat surprised us by replying, "I will; be a good man, papa." Sure enough, we thought. We need this exhortation more than he needs it. And who could give it more effectually than this guileless prattle ? The words of tbe little preacher have been ringing in our ears all day, and, whether we wrote let? ters or editorial, pacified an irate corres? pondence whose effusion we could not publish, or, pruned down a too lengtby report, we seemed to hear tbe sweet child voice saying, "Be a good man papa." If the exhortation had been giving by Paul or Peter, would it have had more force than coming from this little apostle of innocence? We think not, at least, to our heart. Ob, bow many little children, if not in words, yet by tbe helplessness of their lives and tbe truthfulneKB of their !ittle hearts, are pleadine most eloquent y, "Papa, be a good man !"

Jealously is not a distinctively human feeling, but is shared by animals in gen? eral. A parrot will often manifest the most extreme discomfort, and even work itself into a downright passion, at seeing its mistress playing with a canary, while the sensitiveness of dogs upon this point is proverbial. A lady travelling in Siberia relates a ludicrous instance: "We had five dogs. Mine. Jatier was the favorite and was allowed to sleep in a corner of the court, or enter it at pleasure; she was fed first; in one word, she held a distinguished position. One day Mr. Atkinson was away on a hunting excursion and the task of feeding the dogs fell to me. I bad soup made and when it was brought I gave it to them one at a time. First I called Jatier, according to cus? tom, but as she did not answer the call I gave a portion to Appoleck. Before he had finished Mme. Jatier appeared and started to drive him away. This I would not permit and we had a grand scuffle. When Appoleck bad dined, he walked away in an orderly manner and I filled the dish for Jatier, but she was sulky and would not eat. I called another dog, and there was another battle, but I was firm. So matters went on till all had dined except Jatier. Even then the jealous creature refused to touch the soup until I offered it to her in a clean plate. Then she relented. Not long afterwards, as I was seated on the carpet with my sewing, Jatier entered the coutt; but as she did not come and lie at my feet, as usual, I fan? cied that one of the other dogs had dared to enter and turned to order it out. There stood Jatier, certainly, but scarcely recognizable. She was literally one mass of mud. Of her glossy black coat not a speck was visible. There she stood, wagging her tail, and looking ss impertinent as possible. I was angry, and seizing my whip, said : "You dirty creature, how dare you come here I" But before I could reach her she was off like a shot, and by the time I was outside of the tent she was far over the steppe. Not many minutes afterwards she returned, looking as clean and glossy as ever; and now she came without a word and took her accustomed place. I maintain that she was fully aware of my horror of dirt, and rolled in the mud on purpose to annoy me because I had not waited for her to dine first. I bad never before seen a speck of dirt on her coat, and she must have gone some dis? tance after it, as there was no mud any? where near.? Youth1 a Companion. Never Swear. 1. It is mean. A boy of high moral standing would almost ss soon steal sheep as swear. 2. It is vulgar?altogether too low for decent boyB. 3. It is cowardly?implying a fear of not being either believed or obeyed. 4. It is ungentlemauly. A gentleman according to Webster, is a genteel man? well-bred, refined. Such a one will no more swear than go into the streets to throw mud with a chimney-sweep. 5. It is indecent?offensive to delicacy, and extremely unfit for hnman ears. 6. It is foolish. "Want of decency is want of sense." 7. It is abusive?to the mind which conceives the oath, to the tongue which utters it and to the person at whom it is aimed. 8.

"I'm a lawyer's daughter, you know, George dear," she said, after George had proposed and had been accepted, and you wouldn't think it strange if I were to ask yo to sign a little paper to the effect that we are engaged, would you ?" George was too happy to think any? thing strange just then, and he signed the paper with a trembling hand and a bursting heart. Then she laid her ear against his mid? dle vest button and they were very happy. "Tell me, darling," said George, after a long, delicious silence, "why did you want me to sign that paper? Do you not repose implicit confidence in my love for you ?" "Ah, yes," she sighed with infinite con tent, "indeed I do; but George, dear, I have been fooled so many times." ? A Philadelphia doctor says; "If you want your wife to be healthy, make ber cry about once a fortnight." ? In 1881 Mr. T. L. Johnston bought four sheep for six dollars. He now has twenty sheep valued at forty dollars, and has sold one hundred and forty four dol? lars worth of wool and mutton. This does not include the sales' for this year. Mr. Johnston estimates that his sheep have cost him nothing, the fertilizers cost obtained from them equaling the cost of tbeir maintenance. This beats ootton. ? Winmboro News and Herald. ? The monument committee of the Pickett Association of Eichmond, Ya., have submitted a plan for the proposed monument to the late Gen. George E. T ickett in that city. The hexagonal design is recommended. The entire height of the shaft will be about eighteen feet, with six rustic columns and six bronze plates for inscriptions?one for Gen. Pickett, one for the artillery. The cost of the monument will be about $1,100, and sufficient money has been subscribed to justify the Association in contracting for the erection of the monu? ment. ? In the United States there are four different species of rattlesnake?the ground or black rattlesnake, the Florida Bpecies, the mountain serpent and that of the Staked Plains. The rattlesnake found east of the Mississippi and the wooded districts just west of tbflt river, is essentially the K?me as tbe Florida species, although sometimes classed as a separate variety. Of all these the Staked Plains rattlesnake is the largest, most active aod most dangerous. Six feet is not an unusual length, while seven feet snakes have on several occa sions been killed. These serpents meas? ure sometimes ten inches round the body, and recoveries from their venom are very rare. The Florida ra'tlesnake comes next in size, while th ? short, stumpy ground snake, scarce'y ever more than three feet long, is i he least venomous. Besides the rattlesnake there are three other venomous serperts found in this country?the copperhead, the moccasin, the land aod water, and a small and very rare snake found in Ari? zona, which is considered the most deadly of all. This snake lies in the dust, and strikes like a flash of lightning at every? thing that approaches. A peculiar fact about tbiB Bnake is that it is nearly com? pletely blind, and has the keenest hearing of any snake known. These reptiles are very rare, and but half a dozen specimens are found in any of our museums. A Queer Freak of Fate, A gentleman named Hudson, from the lower section of tbe State near Augusta, appeared at the City Hall yesterday and told a somewhat novel story. Mr. Hudson said that he was in search of a negro to whom the courts in Georgia had recently awarded ?10,000 damages from a railroad company for his foot having been cut half off in a railroad accident. He did not give the name of the negro or of the road or of the place where it happened, but he exhibited letters and credentials to Chief of Police Kennedy that left no doudt in that official's mind that be was all right and his mission a genuine one. Mr. Hudson said the negro had disappeared several months ago, and he had tracked him from Augusta here. The claim for damages had been, according to Mr. Hudson's story, turned over to the lawyers who, after a bard fight, won the award of $10,000, half of which was to be their's. Then the case went to the Supreme Court, and in the long litigation th-i negro became discour? aged and left the: neighborhood, going no one knew where. When several months ago the Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the lower c-mrt, it became to the interest of the lawyers to find the plaintiff, as until he signed the papers they could not get the money. Mr, Hudson says he was employed to find the negro. He traced him from Au? gusta to Greenwood where he had been put off the train. From Greenwood Mr. Hudson left the train and walked through tbe country, bearing of the negro with the lame foot all along till he came to Pelzer, where he found his man had worked for several weeks in a mill. Here he came into possession of a letter the negro had written to bis mother. From Pelzer, Mr. Hudson followed the trail to within three or four miles of Greenville where he found the wandering darkey had spent tbe night. This, he said yesterday, was his last positive trace of the man he was after, though he bad been told that a man answering tbe discription bad worked at the cotton seed oil mill here for some time recently. Mr. Hudson proposes to explore Green? ville until he finds either that his man is here or has gone elsewhere. If he can be found, he will come into the posses? sion of ?5,000, and the lawyers may obtain their share, the other $5,000. The story of the poor, wounded negro wander? ing from place to place while earning a bare subsistence, unconscious of tbe for? tune, a princely fortune for him, posi? tively seeking after him, is romantic in the extreme.?Greenville News, May, 29. Wonders of 3f8w Mexico. El Paso, Texas, May 23.?The surveys at present being made for the Kansas City, El Paso and Mexican Bail road, which will be built in a diagonal direction through Mexico, from Northeast to Southwest, promises to bring to the light of modern exploration some regions of remarkable interest in New Mexico Territory which have heretofore been closed to the scientist on account of their inaccessibility. During their progress the surveyors came upon the ruins of Gran Guivera, known to the early Spanish explorers under Coronado, but which have been visited by white men less often even than the mysterious ruins of Palenque in Central America. Very few people have been at Gran Guivera, because it is at present forty miles from water. The surveyors found tbe ruins to be of gigantic stone buildings made in the most substantial manner and of grand proportions. One of them was four acres in extent. All indications around tbe ruins point to the existence at one time of a dense population. No legend of any kind exists as to how this great city was destroyed, or when it was aban? doned. One of the engineers attached to the surveying expedition advances tbe theory that Gran Guivera was in existence and undoubtedly supplied with water at the time the terrific volcano eruption took place which formed the lava flow called Molpais, that the heat generated destroy? ed the whole surrounding country and permanently dried up its water supply, and that thus the inhabitants were forced to abandon it and the country generally. Tbe few Mexicans scattered through this country with their small goat herds still have a tradition that untold treasures are secreted under these ruins, and a few years ago an expedition of adventurers left Socorro for tbe purpose of dragging forth this treasure. They stayed at Gran Guivera and hunted until their water gave out and then returned unsuccessful and disheartened. Preaching Prohibition. New Yoek, May 25.?The MethodiBt General Conference to day passed the following resolution, which was ordered placed in the Discipline of 1888: We are unalterably opposed to the enactment of laws that propose by license, taxing, or otherwise, to regulate the drink traffic, because they provide for its continuance and afford no protection against its ravages. We hold that the proper attitude of Christians towards this traffic is one of uncompromising opposi? tion, and while we do not presume to dictate to our people as to their political affiliation, we do express the opinion that they should not permit themselves to be controlled by party organizations that are managed in the interest of the liquor traffic. We advise members of our church to aid in the enforcement of Buch laws as do not legalize or endorse the manufacture and sale of intoxicants to bo used as beverages, and to this end we favor tbe organizations of law and order leagues wherever practicable. We proclaim as our motto voluntary total abstinence from all intoxicants as tbe true ground of personal temperance, complete legal prohibition of the traffic in intoxicating drinks as tbe duty of civil governments.

Elias James, a religious enthusiast, rushed through tho Btrects of San Fran? cisco recently carrying a banner which informed tho populace that the world would come to an end in 1892.

It is Absurd For people to expect a euro for Indiges? tion, unless they refrain from eating what is unwholesome; but if anything will sharpen tho appetite and give tono to tho digestive organs, it is Ayor's Sar saparllla. Thousands all over tho land testify to tho merits of this medicine. Mr9. Sarah Burroughs, of 248 Eighth street, South Boston, writes: "My hus? band has taken Aycr's Sarsaparilla, for Dyspepsia and torpid liver, and has been greatly benefited." A Confirmed Dyspeptic. C. Canterbury, of 141 Franklin stn Boston, Mass., writes, that, suffering for years from Indigestion, ho was at last induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla and, by its use, was entirely cured. Mrs. Joseph Aubin, of High street, DTolyokc, Mass., suffered for over a year from Dyspepsia, so that sho could not eat substantial food, became very weak, and was unablo to care for her family. Neither tho medicines prescribed by physicians, nor any of tho remedies advertised for tho euro of Dyspepsia, helped her, until sho commenced tho use of Aycr's Sarsaparilla.
