' ' Julius Poppe, Anderson. J. A. Grigsby, Bidgway. E. A- Scott, NowberTy. H. W. Lawson, Abbeville. Among a savage elan ' * Of cannibahsh people, A missionary^mon , Set up his modest steeple. t, 1 And there each day he would '. Purouo his noble labors; Ho told them to be good, And bade them love their neighbors. The cannibals, with grins, Gave ear to themes he treated; They crossed their tawny shins, And on their hams,were seated. And yet they were not lost, That missionary's labors; He taught them to his cost :. Tlio.v/ay to love their neighbors; For one day when for prayers Those cannibals they met him, They caught him unawares? . They lulled him and they ate him! They said they found him good-? ; He'dpracticed what he taught them? And now they understood , The goodness ho had brought them. And when they tilled each maw, They said,-while they deplored him, "They'd loved him alive and raw, But roasted they adored him!" :. -O- 9 ? A" Brazil pap er -is responsible for a story 'that one Manual Jose Al? fonso has just died in San Jose de Leoni?sa at tho age of 150, and that he leaves a widow and Bons from a inai riage consumm a ted when ho was almost 100 years old. To the day. of his death he saw and walked well, and retained his facul? ties' unimpaired. Another man re? cently, died in the same vicinity, aged 120, leaving : a progeny of about 300. The Parisians deVour 100,000,000 apples every winter. An eminent French physician thinks that the decrease of dtspepsia and bilious affections in Paris is owing to yi creased consumption of this fruit, which he mantains, is an admirable prophylactic and tonic, as well as a vory nourishing and easily digest? ed article of food. If there is one thing that makes home uncomfortable, it is the con? tinued consciousness that one is living beyond one's means, that a reckoning day is sure tq,come. Yet the calls for expenditure are incessant, and each keeps on buy? ing; with no caculation bow mat? ters are coming out, until the final crash settles the matter. A Brooklyn lady, whoso hus? band has an unpleasant habit of railing at her, has hit upon the plan of calling in hor servant when he begins to let out his temper, and then turning to him and saying sweetly: "Now, ray dear, please go on with your roinarks." He doesn't go on, at least not as ho began. Can crookod things be made straight? Yes; a new process has just been discovered. .Recently a paper announced that Miss M. Krucked was married to Mr. W. Strait. That certainly is straight? ening crooked things. The average gorilla of Central Africa now points to Stanley and his band of explorers and patheti? cally reminds bis grand-children that "it is what they may one day expect to como to." Says an exchange: "A "Wiscon? sin cow came homo the other night with a bag of gold on her horn. And now, how did that cow come byihat gold?" Why, she hooked it, of course. A Chicago mAU thinks that the worst spoiler ought to get tho Dic tuuuiiiy, onu tho ' winner uhould ha?e a 'w^nth> of sorrel," or Bomo other ' garden s sass, like them Greokn. rejg The Providence' Press says it never heard its funeral orations or sermon, and seldom in private con? versation, tho oumiop,/eroresBed that a man with $10,000 income had gone to hell. A HtUe man Observe^ tilat he had two negative qualities; he never lay long in bed and lie never wanted;b great coat. The door step is often the first step taken by a little waif. How true, au Dr. Johnson say a, that "oYery man endeavors with his utmost care to hido his poverty from others and his idleness from himself." git is easier to bear up under our misfortunes than to survive the comments of our friends on them. Charity begins at home. Yes. and with some it never gets beyond the front door. ? A tfroy bigamist ran out of a back door while his two wives were fighting over-the-"question as to which should have hiiia, and has not since been seen. The farmer's surest speculation will be in live stock and plough? shares. Questions of the day?one 1 or two? z, s or c? able or ible? u in or uout? IN EXCHANGE GUANO FOR COTTON.
