He says that about eight years ago, while be was living at Rosehill, Sumter County, his wife while engaged in sew ing, broke a needle and thoughtlessly threw the head part on the floor, where his two year old daughter, Tillie, was playing; a few minutes later she thought of her little child, and fearing she might get hold of the broken nee die, began to look for it-but in vain. A few days afterwards the little child was seized with griping pain in the stomach, but :mpposing she had col icf- usual remedies for such were applied; she got better and no more was thought of the matter. About ten days ago. Tillie, now about ten years old, complained of a pain in her arm, and upon it being bared, the up per part of a broken needle, partly rusty, was found projecting from the flesh. Remembering the occurrence of eight years ago, he at once account ed for the needle being in her arm. Little Tillie must have swallowed the needle and after a period of eight years it has just worked itself out.. PATENTS (RANTED).

D.] When softly shall breathe o'er the bones of the just That morning's bles't air they shall gather and come, Stand upa vast army, re-ived from the dust At the trump of the Lord, who has riven the tomb. In that day, when the just from their graves shall wake, New heaven and new earth shall in bright ness appear; The children of men shall their reckoning make. And bride chamber children rejoicing be there. As stars in his kingdom forever shall- shine; United with angels, the perfect on bigh, Their songs with his trumpet in triumph combine At deaths overthrow-for death's self shall die. The rising of just ones now full manifest, Evil men an deceivers come forth to their doom The scorned of their loftiness live with the blest Their port'on fires torment; night endless their home. To Paradise's portals the righteous draw near: Self-tarning, wide open its golden gate S'wflD", The Chernb who guards, bends low to them there: With har) of sweet voice their glad wel come he sings. The Bridegroom to meet them appeareth re vealed Forth coming from orient cha'mber with joy; He gives to them wings-from his wings they are hei ed, They fly through the air on his blessed employ. "Come. enter my kingdom, ye children of light! So Jesus will cry to His loved in that hour: "Receive the reward, and the crown of your right, Ye heirs everhtsting of glory and power!" Both just and unjust shall pass through the tlame Their tnal and proof in that terrible day: The righteous endure, for the fire shall be tame; Bnt the wicked it burneth and snatcheth away. Solitary is Hlades -a desolate land ! Its graves are unclosed and its prisons are bare. The children of Adam are 'scaped from death's hand; Where the Lord is-his ran3omed forever are there ! L. D. B. rUBLIC SCHOOLS. From a letter published in the Ab beville Press~ and Banner, written by Mr Geo. C. Hodges, School Commis sioner of that County we clip the fol lowing, which will be interesting to our School Trustees and all others having an interest in the prosperity of the free common schools. The law requires the trustees to meet as early as practicable in the year, in order to locate the schools and elect teachers. This ought to be ~done before the 1st of February of each year, so that by that time all the schools of the uistrict shall have been established and all the teachers em ployed. No school ought to be open ed after the first week in February unless under peculiar circumstances. The apportionment of the school fund to the several school districts is made on the 1st of February, or as soon thereafter as practicable. Unless the trustees fix some limit to the time dur ng which they will contract with teachers of public schools, they cannot know the number of teachers nor their grade in time to ascertain, with the accuracy that the subject demands the length of the school term for their district. The trustees, therefore, are. urged to ascertain as soon as the ap portionment is made the length of the term for their district and report the same to all ther~'eachers and to the SchooCommikbner. The school~ term of eatch school of the same dis trict, for the time it is operated as a public free school, should be the same. IThere has been a great defect in the administration of the school law in respect to the location of schools are located too near each other. This distribution of the forces and efforts of a community, as well as the distri bution of the pt'blic fund has had the effect of shortening the- school term, ad deriving' such unfortnatate comn munties of the influeuees and advan taes of one good, well paid, well equipped and well sustained school I recommend to the trustees the sen timent of a distinguished commander, who, when asked the secret of his success, promply replied, "I concentrate In sonic places, on the other hand, the schools are too far apart. The effect has been, probably, more dis astrous than in cases where the schools ae toonear each other. It has1 sened, alarmingly, the attendance in the county schools, and, doubtless, smothered the spark of genious in many a worthy youth. This part of the school law is difficult of adminis tration as it is important. While the law requires the trustees to pay due regard to any school house already built or sites procured, it also requires them to have regard to "other circun stances proper to be considered so as best to promote the educatioral in terest of the district." I am disposed to believe that there are schools in the county that ought to be removed from their present location, and estab lished in places accessible to a larger number of children who are not now within a convenient distance of any school. No two public free schools for the same race ought to be within less than five miles of each other. Two and a half miles is not too great a distance from a good school. A very few only will be required to go even this distance, and they can, surely, well afford to do so, if by having fewer schools we increase the length cf the term and the eficiency of those that we hare. It is a lamentable fact, known even to the casual observer, that in some sections of the county there is an in creasing disposition on the part of parents, to shift the responsibility of their children's education from them selves, where it properly belongs, to the public, where it belongs only in cases of extreme poverty and misfor tune, or wilful neglect. They demand that the public, which exacts from them a few dimes for school tax, shall in return educate their children, build and repair their school houses, and even py the incidental expences of the school. This disposition ought to be checked at every point, and espec ially in the matter of building and repairing school houses. It is a manifest injustice to the teachers to take any part of their already too small salary and appropriate it to building and repairing school houses. The school house is a local matter, and the community ought to build it at their own expense. The circum tances ought to be very exceptional indeed which would induce the trus tes to appropriate any part of the public fund to building and repairing school houses. I feel sure that my views on this subjest will not be well received, but I believe them to be right, and that is a sufficient reason for me to recommend them tc the earnest consideration of the trustees. The trustees will please see to it that the teacher's monthly reports are properly filled out, as the School Com missioner's annual report is ' based upon these monthly reports. Any letter conveying suggestions and recommendations to trustees is essentially defective, that does not ask their hearty support in the proper administration of the school law, in raising the standard of teacher's cer tificates, in increasing the efficientcy f the schools, in arousing an interest in the all-important subject of properly rearing and educating our children, td in making during the short peri ad of our office, unmistakable advan es all along our lines in the grand march of educatIon. Items of News. A gentleman from Atlanta, recently traveling on a coast line boat from San Fransisco via Vancouver's Island to Portland, Ore., on his arrival at Victoria called at a drug store to pur ehase something for a disordered stomach, felt himself at home, he said, when he saw several boxes of S. S. S.. on the counter of the drug store. The proprietors told him that Swift's Spe eeific was one of the staple articles in is trade. "I have found the wonder of the ninteenth century," remarked a man from Ohio a few days ago to one of our druggists, "and it is a proprietor of a patent medicine who told me that is remedy was not suitable to my case, and advised me not to take it. Icalled at the laboratory of the Swift Specific Co., and consulted their phiy sician with the above result. I was conviuced so thoroughly that their Specific is a good medicine that I have bought a case and sent it to my cous in, who has the scrofula. They told me it would cure scrofula, and I be lieve it to be true." S. S. S. is a harmless remedy. It is a reliable remedy for all disorders of the blood, and clenses the system by forcing the impurities out through the pores of the skin. It is now sold in dry form, and can be prepared at home. Price 50 cents per package. We advise those who have been worn down with mercury and potash, nos trums to use the dry form. Treatise on blood and skin diseases mailed free. THE SW SPEemec Co..
