There is a jolly Saxon proverh That is pretty much like this : That a man is half in Heaven When he has a woman's kiss. But there's danger ip delaying. And (he sweetness may forsake it; So I (ell you hashfnVtover, If you war.t a kiss, why (akc it. Never let anotberTcflow Steal a march on you in this : Never let adanghing maiden See you spoiling tor a kiss. % There's a royal way of kissing. And the jolly ones who make it Have a motto thAt is wiuning; If you want a k'ss, why take it. j Any fool may face a cannon? Anybody wear a crown? But a man must win a woman. If bod have her for his own. Would you have a golden apple, You must find the tree and shake it; If a thing is worth the having. And you want a kiss, why take it. Would you burn upon a desert, With a forest running bv ? Would you give this sunny summer For a bleak and wintry sky ? Oh ! I tell you there is magic, And you cannot, cannot break it; For the sweetest part of loving Is to want a kiss?and take it. FLASHES The retired list?People abed. Shades of night?Window curtains.

Taking things as thpy come, isn't very difficult; it's parting with them as they go that's hard. Pools are now sold for about every uncertainty except the number of red noses at the police court. An exchange is trying to coax everybody to wear a smile Xo use talking ; they won't do it unless fashion says so. Tn selecting a husband at seventeen, a woman desires good looks; at twtnty-a five, good habits; and at thirty, the man. Parson Ja^ptr is right. The sun "do move."

"You are as pretty as n picture," is no longer the correct compliment to pay a lady. Simply say, "you remind ine of a ?hrotno.

But wo are always "pleased to njply that the Grange is neither nor dying, nor will its demise he announced as long' as there are farmers enough in any one com muiiv to keep up the organisation. True, there is not that enthusiasm there once was in the matter, nor are the subordinate organizations ? \ being as rapidly increased as when the Order was spreading over the land. But there is a steady increase in the numberof subordinate granges, and those that, are now forming are exceedingly creditable to the Order. In January the Secretary of the National Grange issued there dispensations, in February six, in March eight, in April ten, and up to ilie lAth May three had been issued. In gome State* of the Tuion the order is upon a permanent and well settled basis, and wherever the Order has boen most successfully utiliized by the farmer, just there is active, prosperous and progressive. In Ohio this is most notably the case'1 he State has over 1,200 living flourishing granges, and on Saturday, the 2ath of May, we were invited to attend a meeting of a subordinate I grange there that initiated forty members in tlie fourth degree. Those Grangers are all square on the books of the State Secretary, arid jfeo State Grange Treasurer is square with the Treasurer of the National Grange. Is this not an example worthy of imitation ? Patrons of South Carolina, arc you lethargic, despondent arid lifeless ? Never give up the ship.

I). )Vyatt Aiken in Charleston Netcs and Courier. We Drive to Excess. By driving to excess wo mean that horses are pulled and hauled, jerked and twitched too much with J the reins. There is too much i guiding with the lines. Concern| ing this subject the Prairie Farj rncr says (in truth) that the "most ; vicious ar.d inexcusable stylo of , driving is the manner which so many j drivers adopt, to wit, of wrapping ; the lines around their hands and i pulling the horse back with all their | might and main, so that the horse j in point of fact, feels the weight back of him with his mouth, and not with his breast and shoulders. This j they do under the impression that such a dead null is needed in order to "steady" the horse. The fact is, with rare exceptions, i there should never be any pull upon I the horse at alt. A steady pressure is allowable, probably advisable, but ! anything beyond this has no justification in nature or reason. For nature suggests the utmost freedom of the action of the head, body and limbs, so tljat the animal may attain the highest possible pate of speed. In speeding a horso the lino* need seldom be grasped in both hands when the road is straight and free from obstructions. The true way to drive himself, the driver doing little but directing him and giving him that confidence which a horse gets in himself only when he feels that a guide and friend is back of him. Remedy for the C'urenlio. As soon us the plums arc of the size of a hazel nut (or just before the curculio commences its attack), procure several gallons of coal or gas tar; put about a quart into a iong*-handled stew pan, and with a match and shavings you will soon have a good blaze; the largest blaze, the denser the smoke. Carry undei (ho trco3 so as to completely ijmokc every part of the tree-top. Repeat three or four times a week i until the plums begin to ripen, or until all danger of damage by curculio is over, Tho smoke is very offensive to breathe, and the *11 : e ? i 1 I reuiiuiiH joi' wL'vcrai nays in the foliage, or until washed off by, ra^/when the smoking must be repeated. Some may ask how long dose it take to smoke a tree each time? Not longer than to get the smoke into all parts of the tree. It usually takes about naif an hour to smoke forty trees. New Wiiy to Churn. We have a story from Middletown, Conn., that eclipses the marvels of olrrrr.nrgnrinc. The people of that place have accidentally discovered how to utilize hull-frogs by converting them into churncrs of butter. Tt .1'. - .1 ? i lit* uiscovery was tnus reached : A fanner in the neighborhood, having placed a pail of uiilk in a spring; of water to cool over night, went there the next morning, and found, it is solemnly asserted, instead of the pail of milk, a large hull-frog sitting' in a contemplative mood upon a; roll of fresh batter. The sole explanation is that the fro? had jumped from the water inio tho pail, i and, in trying to extricate himself, had, hv diligent and continuous strokes of his long lege, churned the u<iik intv Vutvtfr. ? HBnMMMMMHMMMBUaaHMHnMHM mm*mm ? ~ r^ ??^i i^A German paper gives the follow** J ing as a test for purity of milk.

The remedy is a vigorous growth of the trees. A tree entirely . healthy and vigorous is not liable to i he attacked by a fungus: decline and decay arc the conditions favoring growths of that character. ? The swamp or slush pine of 1 Berfie county. N. C., is a close | rival in elevated grandeur to tlie I gigantic trees of California. One specimen of these immense trees was sold, some vcars ago, in York, to an agent of tlie Dutch Government, for six hundred dollars. which squared thirty-six inches I at the base, and thirty inches at a i height of eighty feet. A gallon of warm water poured on a pailful of walnut leaves will , make a safe wash for horses and cattle and save them the annoyance of flies.
