I wish to tell you how I know it, that you may tell it when I am gone." He was a man of sterling integrity, pure Christian character, and a physician of long experience and great useful j ness. I will try and give you his story, as nearly as possible in his own words: i "In the early part of this century I was a child of about seven years, one of six children of a widowed moth? er, living in what was then the fron? tier of the State of Ohio. My mother was struggling to keep us children (all small) clothed and fed. It was the Fall of the year. We lived in a small house which was inclosed with a low rail fence. One morning while my mother was getting our breakfast ready I noticed an unusual shadow upon her face, as if she was in trou? ble. She moved about silently, and once I thought I saw her brush a tear from her face. "When the scanty meal was placed upon the table she bade us 'come and eat,' and putting on her bonnet she left the house. My child heart was too much taken up with my mother's .trouble to enjoy the meal. I could not eat. So I quietly withdrew from the table and followed to see where mother had gone. Crossing over the little yard fence, she went down into iusmall field near by, and under a tree which stood near she kneeled down and began to talk with God. I crept near and listened. She talked to God as she would have talked to a friend, and told Him in outright sim? plicity what was her trouble. She told she had just cooked the last of her provisions, and that her children would soon be hungry ; that she had neither .meat nor meal; that the Win? ter was nigh and her children were without shoes. She told him all right out of her heart. Having done this she returned to the house and seemed a bit more cheerful as if a burden had been lifted from her heart. "My childish curiosity was excited. I was anxious i-o see what God would do. I believed ho would help my mother, but I wondered how ? I lin? gered about and did not go out with the other children to play. The morning wore on, and toward noon a neighbor drove up in a wagon (the nearest neighbor was four miles away) and coming in, he inquired after the family, and then said, 'Sister L" ? , I havo just been to mill (a distance of twenty miles), and felt afraid you were not supplied with meal, and so I have brought you a sack;' and bringing it in on his shoul? ders he untied the great sack and poured its contents into the empty meal-barrel. I thought, 'well there is the meal, but what about the meat and shoes?" The kind neighborwent his way and the day passed until the middle of the afternoon; mean? time I was thinking and won? dering if the meat and shoes would come. "About this time another neighbor came. He had not been long seated before he said to my mother, 'Sister L-, I have just killed my hogs, and I have brought you some meat.' And with this he went out and brought in half a hog. And as he laid it down I said to myself, 'There is the meal and there is the meat, but what of the shoes?' "He sat and chatted for a time, but before leaving he said, 'Sister L-, how are the children off for Winter shoes?' Of course she had to tell him the truth. Then said he 'I am glad I asked, for I have a nioe lot of hides in tan which will soon be finished. I will take the measures and have them some shoes made.' Whereupon each of us was made to stand and place a foot out in front, and press it firmly on the puncheon floor, while he marked at heel and toe to get the precise length of the foot. These measures were taken on as many little slips of paper, and when all were measured, placing the slips in his pocket, he said, 'I will have their shoes ready before the severe cold weather comes on.' "Here I saw the meal, the meat and the shoes, all that mother had asked of. God that morning, all pro? vided and arranged for, and still the sun was not yet gone down." Then said the old man as the glad tears brightened and moistened his eyes, "I have gone for seventy years in the strength of that meal and that J meat; and those shoes have not waxed old on the feet of my faith during all the long journey of my life. Brothor, tell it when I am gone, God Answers Prayer. Men Neatly Classified, One of the ladies who addressed the committee Of the legislature on the subject of women's suffrage made the following classification of the human kind. I divide mankind into four classes : First?Those who do not know and do not know that they do not know; these are fools?leave them. Second?Those who do not know and know they do not know ; these are children?teach them. Third?Those who know and do not know they know; these are asleep? arouse them. Fourth?Those who know and know they know ; these are wise men?fol? low them.

From the Spartanburg Spar tin. There is a question that should en? gage the attention of every one one, who have the interests of prospering at heart. Our State is on the decline, swift and sure ; and even now if we could turn, it would be many years before our country will be what it was some years ago. We will not see tho woes of it, but it will fall with terri? ble consequences on the nest genera? tion, and if we could realize now what it will be, we would be willing to con? sider it more circumspectly than we now do. We need not be a Gladstone or a Gradv to understand this ques? tion. Everyone, from the learned D. D. to the thinking ploughboy, if he has given it a moment's considera? tion, sees it, and knows that unless some remedy is applied soon, the consequences will be fearful. But selfishness and not altogether igno? rance is causing all the classes to blind their eyes to the true condition of af? fairs. Our meaning is that the country is being depopulated to build up the towns and cities; and although it may be a seeming benefit to the latter at the onset, yet when reaction sets in, J the depressing effect upon both will be mutual. There is a restless desire I in our country for a new life and new surroundings and it is not healthy for even the government or the domestic circle. The farm, houses, that were the pride of and an honor to our fore? fathers, arc now a wreck to what they once were. The yards that once could boast of magnolias and flowers of ev? ery shade and hue are unkempt and unpaled. The lands that they ter? raced so carefully, with such honest pride and good husbandry, are now unproductive and no more are abun? dant crops harvested from them. Some of the nicest houses in Spartan i burg and Union aie almost without a roof and look as if they never knew paint. It used to be the pride of the father to give his children each a little farm and settle them around him in his old age. He would meet with his neigh? bors often and discuss farming and stock while his wife would entertain her visitors with receipts for wines and jellies. But now the father teaches his boy that to succeed he must up and away to the already crowded town and secure a clerkship at no matter what price. The fault is not altogether with the men, for not long ago the wife of a man who start? ed on nothing and who now is in com? fortable surroundings was heard to re* mark that if they had gone to town in their young days that they now would have been wealthy. The spirit dis? played by this wife is prevalent to a greater extent than one would suppose. People in the country seem to think that because one or two men became independent in town, that all may do the same. They don't seem to think if the energy displayed by these men were displayed by them on the farm, that they too would be independent now, instead of paying high house .rent in town all for the sake of being city folks. "They pay dear for their whistles." He lives hard and all his hard earnings go to enrich his older neighbors, the city butchers and the grocerymen, while his little farm is be? ing rented for a little more than is ne? cessary to pay taxes. All the men who own farms are leaving them for the town, and where they are willing to accept almost any price for their services to help eke out their incolfle. Is this right minded competition? The fanner's inheritance, which he should hold as a sacred trust, the tal? ent that he should cherish and increase is growing up in gullies and being overspread with briars and brambles. But is this all? Suppose he manages j to hold his farm and returns to it after 10 or 12 years. What has he to give them 100 acres of land, washed away and broken, houseless and barnless ? Can his sons farm? No. They know nothing about it, if they were so in? clined. They are willing, they say, to go to town and live hard; but ask them if they were ever willing to subscribe I $100 for the education of their own j and their neighbors' children. Veri? ly the poor are becoming poorer and the rich are becoming richer. They ! want teachers for two or three hun ered a year. In nearly every section of the country there is material and money enough for a fine country j school. Some schools that s^me years ago paid teachers $600, are now running the public school three months on $67.80, irrespective of grade or quali? fications. The people who remain on the farms will be the worst class of white ten ants and negroes who have no stamina of manhood or patriotism about them. J They will control the ballot boxes and j lawlessness will be everywhere. All cannot live without the farm. It must go on. A great many of the farms are now owned by city residents and it is an established fact in Ro? man and Grecian history that as soon as all the wealth became centered in cities, that their decline was rapid. Idleness is the devil's workshop and what can we all do? A State is to be pitied when competition becomes too strong among its bread winners and the streets of all her cities are filled with idle and disappointed men. I know young men to-day who would livj! in town on half rations rather than stay in the country and have plenty. This the condition we see to-day. What is the cause and what the remedy? The Jicama Boot. City of Mexico. Feb. 22.?Qen. Aure laino Rivera, who discovered the famous "Jicama" root for the cure of typhus and has been distributing it gratuitouslj to the poor has made the further discovery that the same root will cure Braall-pox. Tt e discovery was made accidentally, the preparation having been given to a patient who, from the symptoms at the earlier stage of the disease, it was supposed had typhus, but it proved to be small-pox. The root worked like a charm, however, in rapidly curing the man. Gen. Rivera believes now that it will cure yellow fever and bas sent a package of it to Vera Cruz for trial there by physicians at the next ap? pearance of the epidemic, A New Way with Colds. A new and startling theory about "taking cold" is making some way and accumulating some evidence in its favor. One of the chief exponents of this doctrine at present is a Ger? man physician, who has based his practice for more than ten years, and his results arc so striking and of such very great importance that an account of a recent visit to him will be of general interest. The great impor? tance of his theory lies in the fact that it is an inference from it that the usual means of cure for colds, and still more the usual means of preven? tion, are diametrically the opposite of what they should be, and so arc not only ineffective, but produce the very opposite of the desired result. Ac? cording to our doctor, what we usually do to avoid colds are the very things which cause colds. In a word, the theory is that colds are infectious diseases, and not the mere results of draughts or cold air, which, it is maintained, arc in them? selves harmless, or at all events very nearly so. The time-honored idea that colds arc caused by draughts, wet, cold, chills, and so on, is declared to be nothing but a superstition. Of course, people will say they know they catch colds from draughts because they have colds after they have felt a draught. But, we must be on our guard against the old fallacy of post hoc proper hoc. Because wc have a cold after feeling a draught it does not necessarily follow that the draught caused it, and our doctor has a mass of facts to show that it was not. His patients sit in draughts, habitually, and do not take cold. Whenever wc find ourselves with a cold it is at least always possible that we have caught it from somebody else, far colds are so common that we are certain to have been lately in the company of someone with a cold. ?There is, therefore, always, at least, the possibility of another cause than the draught. But the draughted the cold do often seem very strongly to be the cause and effect, and, on the other hand, we do not notice any connection between meeting a person with a cold and taking cold ourselves. Why is this? Our doctor's explanation is very simple: 1. He thinks he has discovered that an ordinary cold takes about ten days or a fortnight to develop from the time of infestion. Hence, of course, the second part of the mystery. Nat? urally, when we perceive we have a cold, wc do not think of connecting it with an event Which happened a fort? night ago, which was too com? mon to make any mental impression, and which we have, therefore, quite forgotten. 2. We are told that the symptoms of the cold having reached a certain stage of development is a feeling of chill, and our doctor will have it that the chill wc are sensible of is this in? ternal chill, and not a chill from the draught, or that wc only felt a chill from the draught because we had al? ready a cold which had arrived at this stage. Hence the seeming obvious? ness of the connection between the draught and the cold. 3. A third reason, which no doubt helps to convince us that the draught was the active cause, is the pre-con viction or established orthodox belief which we all hold that the cause of colds is' draughts. Holding this be? lief, when we find ourselves with a. cold we naturally search our memory for recollection of any draught, and if we have been in one recently are at once sure that is the cause, merely be? cause of this orthadox belief. Do we ever similarly inquire what people with colds we have been in contact with? So much for the theory. Now for the practical evidence or facts as to its trial. In the first place we must put up the doctor'8 own patients. He practiced for several years in Frank? fort, and within the last four years he has built up quite a considerable es? tablishment at some distance from there, for the reception of patients with serious diseases. All the win? dows are open winter and summer. All patients not actually confined to their bed go out in all weathers, rain or shine, and without wrapping up more than just as they please for mere comfort, and usually without hats or bonnets. Even those confined to their bed have the windows wide open day and night. The patients and visitors sit all through their meals with windows open on two opposite sides of the room, so that there is generally a strong through draught. They sleep in the same way, with large windows open at the widest, and the wind often blowing right on to their beds. There are several chil? dren there?not patients, but the children of the doctor and of patients, and they live in the same way. In fact they are all regardless of the us? ual precautions about taking cold. But they do not take cold. That strong people can stand draughts is perhaps generally admit? ted, but here we have at least forty delicate people proving that even for them draughts and cold air do not give cold. It is also maintained that they not only do not give cold, but that they prevent cold and this pre? vention, it is maintained, is not due to any hardening, but solely to the MENSTRUATION with a woman of vigorous health passes off in due time without pain or dis? comfort ; but when she approaches this crisis MONTHLY with a frail constitu? tion and feeble health she endangers both her physical and mental powers.

Sold by all Drvgal'ts, Bradfield's Female Regulator for sale by Wilhite & Wilhite, fact that the very thorough ventila? tion prevents infection, and one doc? tor maintains that you cannot prevent or limit infection without such thor? ough ventilation as necessitates a thorough draught. Therefore, when colds are about it is necessary to defy draughts. A thorough draught is the true prevention of cold. It will, of course, be uuderstood that it is not asserted that such thorough ventilation as this is essential to health where no illness or infection exists. But it is quite worth while to adopt it for a while, because one can hardly realize otherwise how far it can be carried with very little or no discomfort. The most important prac? tical point is that it is at all events harmless. It is true that it is also asserted that it is in all cases health? ful, but if it is only harmless that alone suffices to brand the accepted ideas about draughts and cold air as super? stitious. And if the accepted ideas are superstitious, what an immense relief to get rid of them! To know that we never need be afraid of cold air or wet for ourselves or for any members of our families, however delicate they may be. It is only fear of draughts that makes us submit to the close air of theatres, churches, railway carriages, and often more or less of our own houses. Prove that fear to bo groundless, and mere com? fort will make us admit very much more fresh air than we do without any di? rect hygeinic intention. And this at least may be regarded as certain, that the more fresh air we admit the less risk wc shall run, not j only of infection by common colds, but of infection by any of the numer? ous and still more deadly diseas? es which are known to be spread by infection. How to Kill Nut Grass. I have seen several inquiries lately for a method of killing nut grass. I used to think the only way to get rid of it was to move off and leave it, but I have found a better method of treat? ing it. I had about one acre of very rich garden land thoroughly seeded down with it. I could raise a winter or early spring crop, but it would choke out any corn or cotton crop I could plant. Five years ago I raised a crop of Irish potatoes on it, then planted it in corn. Before it was large enough to hoe, it was a mass of green nut grass, and to get it out of the hill pulled up nearly all the corn. It was very dry at the time, and by the time I was through, my corn was nearly all dead, but the grass was doing finely. Icon eluded to try heroic treatment on it. So I took a Planet (Jr.) cultivator and tore up every blade of corn and grass in the field, using a hoe around the fences. In about four days a new crop came up. Then I cultivated it the other way, always in the hot sun. The fourth time I plowed it deep, and I got another pretty good crop of grass started, which I cultivated as before. In one month, I think, I had sprouted and killed every vestige of it, as not a stalk has appeared since, and it has been planted to corn or sweet potatoes every year since. You can take this for what it is worth, but the only way to get rid of it is to keep it from seeding, either top or root, and cultivate and germi? nate all dormant seed aud kill them by cultivation in the dry hot weather of May and June.?John Axtell. Gen. Gordon's BulM Marks, The reporter inquired about tho deep wound which shows like the entrance to a cavern in Gen. Gordon's check. Then the General told about how he had received this wound at Antiecam. It was the last of five wounds that he had received at that battle. First a bullet had entered his right leg, and then another had pene? trated almost the same place. After that a ball had shattered his right arm and a minnie ball crashed into his left shoulder-blade. He was let alone for a while and then a bullet buried itself in his left cheek just under the eye. eye*. He bled so much that ho couldn't see, and after that he grew unconscious. "How could you continue in tho field so long with all these wounds ?" "I had to," replied the old soldier simply. "I was certain the men would break if I left the field. But they carried me off after the cheek wound. I couldn't see then." Gen. Gordon smiled reminiscently as he recalled the difficulty which the Federals had experienced in hitting him. "I was shot thirteen times once through the clothes without being hurt," said he, "and after that the boys said I bore a charmed life and couldn't be hit. I began to half be? lieve it myself when I awoke to a sad realization of my error at Sharpsburg. My good wife nursed me through that, though atone time my face was en? tirely black and I couldn't sec out of my left eye. They propped the right one open so that I could look at things. I tell you those were weary months when I was laid up." Once, Gen. Gordon said, a bomb ex? ploded in front of him and a piece of it grazed the side of his coat and rush? ed on past. He thought his whole side was being torn away, but found out with some delight afterward that it hadn't been touched at all. He never felt his wounds, he said, till he had been carried off the field. But tl.en they made up for lost time.? Interview in the New Orleans Times Democrat. ? While workmen were once engag? ed in sinking a well on the farm of David Dunning, in Washington Town? ship, Ringgold County, Io., they had some queer experience. At a depth of 14 feet they found between a peck and a half bushel of white walnuts, or "butternuts," and at a depth of 26 feet a fine pair of deer's horns and a large log of wood. The horns wero very soft when first taken out, but soon hardened on exposure to the air. The peculiar part of the whole affair is the fact that there is not a single butternut tree known to be growing in that portion of the Stnte. A Young Philosopher. "Papa," said a small boy, as he was eating his Ash "Wednesday dinner, "don't fishes have legs ?" "They do not," answered papa. "Why don't they, papa?" "Because fishes swim and don't have to have legs." The small boy was silent for a few minutes and papa forgot about his questions. Then he asked : "Papa, ducks have legs, don't they ?" "Why, yes ; ducks have legs." "Well, ducks swim, don't they ?" "Yes." "Then why don't fishes have legs if ducks do, or why don't ducks not have any legs if fishes don't?" Papa gave it up.?Buffalo Express. The Harikarl of the ProIiis. The Prohibition party of South Caro? lina need not be taken into any serious calculation by anybody. The man who looks to thorn for good politics will be disappointed. They held four aces and got beat. If ever a party proved its inca? pacity, it was the Prohibitionists of Soutli Carolina. They demanded the separate box to determine the sentiment of the people on the subject of liquor. They put a lot of men in office and in the Sen? ate and House, and had a good working majority in favor of prohibition. But they did not give their constituents pro? hibition. On the contrary, they made the dry towps wet, and the wet towns as much wettoras possible. They merely transformed the ownership of saloons from those who, of their own volition, chose rum selling for a livolibood, to those who do not approve- of the traffic. Their sole object seems to be to make the saloon and tho saloon business as respec? table as possible. It is well enough to keep in mind the fact that for the present state of affairs in this State we must thank the Prohibitionists and them only. Spartanburg Herald. ?
