Two Examples of Pluck.
Where there is a will there is a way ?
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."?

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.

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.?

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"?

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 !"

A Jealons Dog.
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. It is venomous?showing a boy's
heart to be a nest of vipers; and every
time he swears, one of them sticks out his
head.
9. It is contemptible?forfeiting the
respect of all the wise and good.
10. It is wicked?violating the Divine
law, and provoking the displeasure of
Him who will not hold him guiltless who
takes his name in vain.
Making It Binding.
"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."

? 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.

? 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.

rushed through tho Btrects of San Fran?

informed tho populace that the world

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. "Three
bottles of this medicine," sho writes,
" cured mo."
