Music.
[Miss] Biile Leo Nelson.
When griping grief tbe heart doth
wound, and doleful dumps the mind op
press, then (finale; with her stiver sound,
with speedy help doth lend redress.
Oh! the charms of music. What
wonderful power over humanltt. It
vauses the most sternest, most wicked
man to some tinteii stop, and thirik. It
win tyrannlxe over the soul. Will Muse
H to bow down; sad worship It, and
compel tlte heart to yield Its treasure*
Of love,
Music causes the uncouth man 10 re
alize in his soul that there is a power
that does exist some where—above, be
yond! Music elevates, empowers; And
strengthens them all.
As lifts beautifully been said i “The
human soulAa a uiiglityjiarp, and all
its strings vibrate to the guxhofniu-
xic.” It cau es a gush of the pfiultent
tears—ftome heart); cannot he touched
ftUly by £he soft notes of ifiusici Who
does not 1 know the power of music,
more especially the music of the Ikluian
jtoicef It come! to us like Gift soft
^soothing angel—whlsperlifg* of kind
and loving words In the hoiir! of
trouble. Who knows anger wheh the
voice of love speaks in song?
The old and young man, the child all
delight in singing. Work i! made
lighter by song, grief is dispelled, caus
es light t.t shine In.darkness.
When the end of time comes, and
God shall sav, “Well done thou good
and faithfifl servaut; dntCr thou Into the
joys of the Lord.”
ThaT Will be "music tollrdmrvHr
soul, sweeter than human voice can
give. It is reasonable to suppose that
its swelling numbers have foiled and
made heaven vocal with its drains of
praise since creation dawned. We
should have more singing around tho
fire place, at the lamily altar, in the so
cial circle. The human voice is the
most perfect Instrument,, as it was made
by the skillful Maker. ~Mutfie is Realtlf-
ful. No medicine is better forbad hu
mor, nor low spiri’s. Music i! to the
intellect what cream and strawberries
are to the taste. There are no words
that will cause man to *h d tears Sootier
than “Home Sweet Home,” wtlen far
from home and loved ones. Go to the
city and you will see a crowd of people
gathered—you may ask what doe! this
mean ?’ Tis only a poor beggaf singing.
Nevertheless, even by one so base, doos
not keep music from having dharniv.
It melts the heart of the rich and poor,
cause! them to drop a |>e.nny for the
poof tfi.-in. O! tell us where music is
not. We now hear it. in the pensive
sonnds of the autumnal winds, we hear
it in the sparkling flow of the bright,
laughing streamlet as on and <>11 it. goes
to join the brimmingTlver; we hear it,
as it were, in -The morning star, and
when gathered around the <'hnstmas
fires the cfackling sparks make music,
the flame has a cheerful hum of it! own.
The air is always whispering melody.
The Almighty has made mall to sing
songs throughout all eternity. *
Sacred music leads the soul to com
mune with God, A few sweet notes
brings with them hours of true pleas
ure to the weary and world fursakfiu.

^ Tim Curse of Office Holding.
Somebody must hold office, but the
man who d ies submits to a sacrifice
that Is appalling. Office holding, a* a
rule, is S blighting curse to tlie office
holder. Ouch he tastes the “sweets” of
office he is as much under the coutrol
of tfie office holding passion as the
drunkard i* under the control of his aff-
pet'ti Nothing satisfies him bnt a
pei nianfiut position at the public crib v
though very often the man .eowld earn
ten times tfidre outside of poHtTcatliau
in. Think of a business mau or pr'o-
ft-ssioua) man straluihg every nerve
and spending lot* of money no go to the
Legislature at $5 p«? iffiy. *T4ut bun
dreds dq 1$, and regard defeat, which
sensible men would regard as a bless-,
ing, as a serious and almost irrepar
able misfortune. If jl 'fa an appointive
office and tlie man unfortunately suc
ceed* In holding it for a series of years
but at last is discharged, he i! a! help
less as a babej for He is utterly unfit for
other occupations. This Is especially
trus of old men who lose ih<*ir positions
at Washington. It i! said that one of
this class recently cried like a child
over bis misfortune. Better rcnffiin on
tlie farm or in tlie workshop or in any
private business than to embark on tlie
troubled sea of politics. There i! not
much'h< « >r in it, and there is still less
money than honor, if the fingers do not
have wax on them;-and ills better, far
better, to be an hohett pa<i|>er than a
dishonest official. If a mail maintains

The Cow Fen.
It is-hard to find a more palatable
and nutritious food for humanity at so
low a co*t a* our Southern cow |>ea.
All varielie* eat well, some, of cour.-e,
preferred to others. We understand
that cow peas, rice, and a piece of fat
meat, is a favorite dish with tho Geor
gia •‘cracker.” Tho writer, Re don’t
mind saying, has befen blessed with five
iobu*t, healthy children, and there I*
no dish that ever come! 20 duf table
that is better ichshed hy them all than
cow peas It is a very nitrogenous
food (as are all beana, and thi* i* in
.facla.bean and not a (tea,) and such a
food as childrenTiecd to develop hone,
tisane, muscle, etc. It is a very healthy
diet in every respect, but think, the pea*
oughtto be well mashed before eaten,
as they are likely to be masticated and
digested better. This food is - so easily
and cheaply raised that it is surprising
that most of our farmer* do not iuclpde
them on their table at least once a day;
every Jay in the year. Some of the
coarser and darker varieties are In fact
more palatable than white varieties;
but the latter arc mainly preferred by
house wives,4% t hey are more presenta
ble In appearance when cooking and
reatt-r for 'service. If the iiirm of
NortHfifn pdople whn^are so.-, fond of
navy-and dther varieties of bejins grown
in that climate, only knew the palata-
bility and hiitritiousness and cheap
ness of our Southern cow pefts we
Southern farmers would Sooti have a
Northern market for all tlie surplus
cow peas we could raise, especially the
while and light colored varieties.—Ed
itor Montgomery, Southern Live Stock
Journal.
Curing Hams.—I am assured upon
good authority that finely powdered
borax, sprinkled upon hams and Shoul
ders, and rubbed in when taken out of
bulk to be hung up to smoae and cure,
will etlectually prevent !klppers. I
wn* pleased With the result last year,
and 1 will further make the trial of
this Simple remedy this year. Borax
is cheap and a sure preventive of the
dreaded skipper. Thousands upon
thousands of dollars’ worth of the best
part of the nog win heTavetf, and, hr-
stead of mortification and loss to the
discoipfitted housekeeper a beam of joy
will sit upon the countenance of the
good housewife as she brings forth her
nicelv baked ham, and know s that it is
without suspicion, as she places it upon
the festive board,—Thomas J.-Carden.
^ Corn Silk as a Remedy.—Who would
have thought that tht silk of an ear of
grem corn was a" powerful and ef
ficient remedy for dropsy, for bladder
troubles, and for the diseases of the
kidneys? In the Louisville Medical
News we find an account of the medical
properties of ehrn silk and the cures
"that have been effected by its use. "Tfie
w ay to use it is to take two double
handfuls of fre-h corn silk and boil in
two gallon! . f water until but a gallon
remains. Add sugtif to make a svrup.
Drink ft tumblerful of this thriee dally,
and it will relieve dropsy by increasing
tlie flow of the urine enormously.
Other disease! of the Madder atrd kid
neys are benefitted by the remedy
which is prompt, efficient and grateful
to the stomach. The treatment can be
continued for months without danger
of inconvenience. • \ •

A Glass of Water in the Morning.—A
glass of water should be taken the first
thing fir tho morning. It exercises a
twofold advantage. First of afl, when
sipped slowly, it aefa as a stimulator to
tbe excretory organ!: Secondly, du
ring sleep a great deal of rnucohs is se-
creteff by ihb membrane lining tbe
mouth and other organs of the alimen
tary canal, and this morning drink re
moves it. Many a morning headache
will be curftd if this habit is carefully

Four year! ago 1 stopped advertising.
I plainly saw tnat t?e were entering a
period of financial depression uflcl*
ampled in the laterTrusiness history of
the United Slates; and concluded that
it would be better for the to take In tail
and go slowly until the skies became
bright again.
Events hare proven that I waaright.
The long lane that has hedged us In has
turned and by patient endurance, wise
economy and untiring effort the South
is overcoming hard times and getting
on the right high road to better inde
pendence than her people have ever be
fore possessed.
STRONG, SOLID AND RESTED
resume the use of Printer’s ink, and
send cordial greetings of the season to
the many good friends in Barnwell, Ai
ken and Orangeburg Counties Who
have so long extended their generous
patronage to
BROWN’S CORNER,
as best headquarters for purehssoof all
Merchandise, and sale of all country
produce. To Niem and to tbe general
pnbiie I beg to express my siheere be
lief tluu better, days than we have
known since the outbreak of the war
between the States are just daw iiingon
us. The husiue .s experifenee of thirty-
five active years has taught me to look
ahead and I am sure that 1 am not mis
taken id making this prophecy.
So strong U my confidence that I
have during my recent long visit to the
leailihg Northern cities secured tlie
Grandest Stock of General Merchandise
that I have ever handled or thift any
merchant has ever brought to South
Carolina. I’erhsps i may have over
bought, but 1 think not, for I found that
the Panic had held Northern manufac
turers ami wholesalers hy tlie throat
more cruelly than it had laid hands on
tlie farmeis of our State. '1 hey had to
sell. I bought. And the proof* that !
was fortunate crowd my store rooms
and ware houses and ihvitc by their va
riety, excellence and cheapnhs! the pat
ronage of all who wisely want all that
they tan get for their money, cotton or
other produce. Out of tliis vanishing
panic-have come these sdund new re
quirements of business that producers
and consumers must get neater togeth
er and that tlie day of high prices is
gone forever. Acting on those princi
ples 1 have bought from first hands in
ail lines and taken advantage of every
fair opportunity that my preseace and
cash down put within my reach. 1 »n-
derstand this recdirithirtlnh of our
business methods and accept it, and ex
pect and intend by increasinglhe range
and quantity of sales in 4II lines of mer
chandise to take modest care of myself
and to put good heart and hope into
Dispeople by giving them more goods
and better goods for their money than
tilt y ever dreamed of getting.
Without attempting to catalogue the
attraction! that I have secured I beg,
by way of suggestion, to ask the atten
tion of the Ladies to the opportunity
offered them of buyihg in comfortable
leisure at home all that they need to
make them happy in heart and hand
some in tlie eyes of men at
PIN MONEY PRICES.
Dfe!a Goods in latest and loveliest
Fabric!. Ready Made Jackets; Cloaks.
Skirts, Underwear, Dainty ftnd Sub
stantial Shoes and Slippers, Trim
mings of all kinds, and. In short,every
thing that they desire and deserve, anil
Hfe Is (txr short to enumerate all.
SUPERB CLOTHING.
My stock of-clothing ]g so wide
nged that the largest man and
small boy can be fitted as well as with
tailor made garments, only the best
goods and workmanship were used in
their manufacture, and prices are too
cheap to be told in print. For men and
boys 1 have an ample stock of dress
and business shoes. 1 have gathered
tbe best from the leading manufactu
rers of the Eastern and Western States
and can !uit every (aste ami give the
fullest satisfaction. Special attention
is asked to the goods of the Bay State
Shoe and Leather Company, life most
durable made, and so cheaply priori!
that they will almost go off without
words. —t—■"*—

winter winds and summer heats, bat*,

of all goods, bought in wholesale quan
tities and to be sold as they were pur

hearty welcome jind the same fair deal
ing that has always marked my bus-
ineftalife. I would prefer for them to
come Shopping in the morning, as It
wiU take them ail a busy day to see

better bargains here than the best de-
toctives could discover ia Augusta,
