The following is a prize essay, written by a well-known Southern woman for Household: I used to aing a great many songs. I was no prima donna, but my singing waB appreciated by my audience, which con? sisted only of those who loved mo. After my marriage, which was planned at a time when the evening star shone with a greater brilliancy than the almighty dollar, it was quite clear that many suns most rise and set before we wonld be rich enough to own a piano; and this thought caused me much regret. One day, after our home had been an absolute monarchy for about Bix weeks? (everybody knows the story of the king who prayed the good fairy to make him an absolute monarch, and who found himself simply changed to a bahy)?a beautiful woman paid me a visit: beau? tiful after Walt Whitman's standard of beauty?she was an old woman?bat one whose candles around the altars of poesy and romance never grew dim, and whose intellect seemed to shine with a clearer radiance as the BhadowB of old age gath? ered abont her. She was a woman whose husband gave her at seventy the same fond admiring love that she inspired in her day of youth and beauty. I had expressed my regret at being de? prived of what had once constituted my chief pleasure. "My dear child," she said, "the lack of a piano is very small matter; you have something in your arms of greater use to you than a piano could possibly be, as an encouragement to sing." i looked ruefully at the tiny, helpless thing, with its wondering eyes. "What lullabies do you Bing to the baby when rocking him to sleep ?" "Oh," I said, "nothing especial?any nursery tune that comes into my head." "There you make a mistake. Do not neglect this opportunity to develop your voice, and to retain in your memory both the words and the air of all the songs you have ever known. The hour of rocking the baby to sleep is a time usually passed by mothers in a dreamy way, sometimes impatiently, humming over and over again some tiresome lullaby. Their thoughts are scarcely for a moment diverted from the routine which must begin again when this task is completed. The mind receives no perfect rest in this, the loveliest, most ideal part of the day. When performed as a mere tank, the mother passes it willingly on another, and thus misses the very crown of moth? erhood. This should be an enchanted hour, for angels are hovering near, whis? pering to the smiling babe?the mother can hear them, too, if she will listen? and they will carry her back to the time when the universe was contained in one violet, and a century in one moonlight hour. I pity the woman who relegates her task to an unappreciative servant, or who, from a mistaken sense of duty, lets the little one cry itself to sleep in the cradle. Oh, do you think 'Backward,. Turn Backward,' would ever have been written, if mothers had always stifled this sweet impulse? My husband used to chide me for rocking my 'big babies,' but my rule was to rock them, if possible, until they were old enough to remember it when grown. Give yourself time for this duty. You will find it restful and soothing to your nerves if you Bing delib? erately and with care, through your repertory of songs ; but never chant in? consequent ly the same tune over and over again; this, on the other hand, is very fatigueing and trying to the nerves. Always sing BofUy and with expression on the high notes, ae it is excellent prac? tice for the voice; Bing tenderly on the low notes?pronounce the words with sweet, clear enunciation, and think of what you are singing. Leave out of your repertoire ail commonplace songs. Keep your Btandard high. Have a col? lection of hymns among your list? 'Come Ye Disconsolate,' 'Jerusalem the Golden,' and such ones of undying beauty. By this method you will enter? tain yourself and elevate the tone of domestic life, introducing a bit of sweet? ness into the sometimes dull routine. As your family increases, the older children will enjoy your singing, and slef p more refreshingly for the soothing serenade. Your husband will join in on your cho? ruses, and his voice, mingling with yours, will sometimes astonish you with its sweetness; for the knowledge that you are not trifling, bot are earnestly endeav? oring to make harmony, will inspire him to do the same. In time your children? the saucy little eyes?will know all your songs, and Bing them better than you do; and you will thus have raised a musical family, with the aid of no other instru? ment than your voice; and should you ever happily become possessed of a piano, how gracefully it will take its place in your home!" This was eight years ago. I have fol? lowed her advice, and can only say that the result has been exactly as she fore? told, in everything, whispering angels, renewing of youth, babies getting ahead, and all; and I would earnestly advise all mothers to cease the habit of inconse? quential "humming," and take up a sys? tematic course of singing in this idle, ideal hour. The advent of a beautiful new piano just the other day, and the full comple? tion of my plan, has inspired this article. Anniston, Ala, K. H. R. ?Two men of Palmersville, Tenn., re? cently cut down a tree. On the trunk, about eight feet from the stump, wan a gnarl which covered a little hollow. On cutting into the hollow, which had been completely overgrown, they found inside a frog which was lifeless, but well pre? served. By counting the grains it was estimated that the tree was at least thirty years old. The frog had been preserved for years in his air-tight home.

An Unusual Still in a Care, Eaiding Deputy Ensor, with Deputy Marshals King and Boark, destroyed a still, cap and worm and a complete "moonshine" o ut?t on Friday night on a branch in Pickens County, near Pickens court house. The still and cap were of galvanized iron and the worm was of tin. Dr. Ensor has never seen or heard of a still of the same material before and will send it to General Sewell at Washington, to show what devices the moonshiners resort to to make whiskey. The still was in a cave on the side of a creek bank, and the entrance to it was just large enough for a man to crawl in. The hole was shielded by a pine tree, and was so cleverly protected that the officers had hard work to find it. There was no water in the cave except what was taken in from the branch. The smoke from the still went out a little hole in the hill side. The officers arrested a man named Banks, whose home is in a short distance of the cave, and who is believed to have been the owner of the unusual outfit. Monday night Doctor Ensor, accompa? nied by Deputy Marshals A. A. Phillips and J. B. Phillips, made a raid on the waters of Booth Pacolet, in Spartanburg County. They destroyed a large still and worm and 600 or 700 gallons of beer and mash.?Greenville News. Dakota Cow Pcetry. A Dakota stock paper breaks out as follows,, just after the end of a long drouth on the stock range: "A short time since the cow was sad; she scarce could raise ber head, begad. Her hoofs were sore, her tail was limp; her mane and bangs had lost their crimp, and miles she trudged from grass to drink, with scarcely strength enough to wink. The owner, too, looked blue and grum, and cursed tbe cattle business some. But since the rains the grass is tall?the cow can raise her head and bawl; her hide is slick, no bones protrude, she prances like a Bismark dude. Her tail is slick, her eyes are bright, she snorts and dares the crowd to fight. Her owner, too, digs up the chink, and asks the boys to take a drink. God bless the rain, the gentle rain; it makes a man feel young again. He feels like tossing up his hat and howling like a Democrat.' ? A Milwaukee man had a horse that no blacksmith could shoe on tbe hind feet. At length the bright idea was hit of chloroforming the horse and putting on the shoes. This was done. When the beast came to himself he nearly kicked his hind quarters off in the attempt to get rid of the shoes; but it was no go. Science was too much for brute force. ? Four members of tbe family of Adam H. Sconce, living about fifteen miles from Salem, Oregon, were buried side by side one day last week, all having died of la grippe. A young daughter died at 12 o'clock on Friday night, at 1.20 her mother followed. The next night at 12 o'clock the father died, and at 1.20 o'clock his mother passed away. ? Dr. J. B. Hinkle, of Americus, Ga., has nndoubtedly the oldest piece of chinaware in the State, or, perhaps in the South. It is in the shape of a pitcher, which is known to be 728 years old. It was made in the year 1109, which date is plainly stamped upon tbe bottom. It has descended from one generation to another, and can easily be traced back threce or four generations by the present owner. It is a small pitcher, and with the exception of a broken handle is still in a good state of preserve* tion. State Novrs. ? The Orangeburg Times and Democrat truly says, there are more demagogues roaring around South Carolina to-day than has ever been known before. ? Bishop John O. Granbery will preside over the South Carolina Conference of the M. B. Church South, which will meet at Darlington on December 2nd. ? Mrs. Henry M. Assman was struck and instantly killed by lightning a few days ago in Lexington County. A child was standing by her aide, but sustained no injury. ? As some children near Richburg were playing a few evenings ago, one of them pushed a wagon standing on the crest of a hill. The wagon was set in motion, and, as it was rushing: down the hill, an 8-year old son of Mr. R. X. Blank was caught between the tongue of the wagon and a tree, and was crushed to death. ? William Wilson, colored, struck his brother, Allen Wilson, in the head with a hoe last Saturday at Abbeville, breaking his skull. Allen only lived a few hours. William has been lodged in jail. ? Young's Island, in Colleton County, has been daring the month, and is still a busy place. The Charleston and Savannah Bailway has already handled over 500 cars of vegetables. ? A colored woman has been found in Columbia who is about 115 years old, and has lived there all her life, seeing Colum? bia build up. Her name is Plora Fountain, and she seems to be possessed of tbe foun? tain of youth. ? Mr. S. W, Gardner lives ten milefl below Edgefield. He is eighty-three years old.
