llloMAom Time. Spring came with tiny lances thrusting, And earth was clad in peeping green; In russet berk, the twigs encrust ing, Tenderest blossom points were seen; I A robin courier proclaimed good cheer: ' Summer will soon arrive for 1 am here. And now from cherry houghs in Mower The languid hree/.e arousing shakes With every honied breath a shower Of feather snow in driftIng Makes; And apple trees in bloom like ricks of I white, Arc veiled with Smokv, amethvstiin light. Ah, little soul, on thy tlrst Spring. Unclosing merry, puz/.led eves, Would that a father's t bought could bring Prophetic counsel more t han wise To guide thee as a father's love would yearn, Thou hast so much to suffer and to learn! I cannot live thy life for thee, My precepts would he dull and t rite, Barren as last year's love to me Beneath the apple blossoms white; But in thy new horizon's vaster ranee Our hearts close knit shall feel no chilling change.

The dead man is Clarence Outhhouse, JH years old, of Pecksklll. His companion, who is under arrest, refuses to give his name. IjIvo too Well. "American workmen eat two much, especially too much meat. They dress too well. There are too many lace curtains about their houses. They spend too much money and save too little. This is the opinion announced by Judge Simon E. Baldwin, professor of constitutional law at Yale, in a speed) at New Haven, Conn. No doubt H&nna and other leading Republicans agree with him. TALMAGES SEItMON. j 1 >r.

Talmage takes a t<'M and illustrates how all offenders may he emancipated: j text, Hebrews viii. 12, "Their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more." The national Mower of the Kgyptlans is the hellot rope, of the Assyrians Is the water lily, of the Hindoos is the marigold, of the Chinese is the chrysanthemum. We have no national Mower, but there Is hardly any Mower more suggestive to many of us than the forget meant. We all like to he remembered, and one of our misfortunes is (hat there arc ko many things we cannot, remember. Mnemonics, or the art of assisting memory, is an important art. It was tirst suggested l>y Simonides of Coos f>0() years before Christ. Persons who had but little power to recall events or put facts and names and dates in processions have through this a it had their memory re-enforced to an almost incredible extent. A good memory is an invaluable possession. Ity all meanseult.ivat.o it. I had an aged friend who, detained all night at a miserable depot in wailing for a rail train fast in tlie snowbanks, entertained a group of some ten or fifteen clergymen, likewise detained on j their way home from a meeting of prebytery. by lirsk with a piece of chalk drawing out on ihe black and sooty wads of the depot t he ehaiaett rs of Walter Scott's "Marmion" and then reciting from memory the whole of that poem of some eighty pages in tine print. My old friend, through great age, lost ids memory, and when; 1 asked him If this story of the railroad depot was t rue lie said, "I do not remember, now, hut it was Just like me. "Let me see," said he to me. "Have I -ever seen yon lie fore?" "Yes," I said; "you were my guest last night, and i was will) you an hour ago." What an awful contrast in that man between the greatest memory I ever knew and no memory at all! Hut right along withlhisart of recollection, which 1 cannot too highly eulogize, is one quite as important, and yet I never, heard it annlauded. I mean t he art of forget t ing. There is a splendid faculty in that direction that, we all need to cultivate. We might through that process he ten times happier and more useful than we now are. We have been told that forget fulness is a weakness and ought to he avoided by all possible means. So far from a weakness, my text, ascribes it tot 2nd. II is t he very top of omnipotence that (Jod is able to obliterate a part of his own memory. If we repent of sin and rightly seek the divine forgiveness, the record of the misbehavior is not only crossed oil the book, but (Jod actually lets il pass out of memory. "Their sins and their inii.... ...mi 1 . 1 ?" 11 ii 11 !<.-<>> 111 i i en it.; 1111H* r in> inure. 1 o remember no more is to forget,, ;iimI you cannot make anvt liing else out of it. God's power of forgetting is so great that if two men appeal to him and the one man, after a lift' ail right, gets the sins of his heart pardoned and t lie ot her man, after a life of abomination, gets pardoned (2nd remembers no more against one than against the other. The entire past of both the moralist, with Ids imperfections, and the prolligate, with his debaueht ries, is as much obliterated in I he one case as in tile other, forgot ten forever and forever. "Their sins and their iniquities will 1 remember no more." imitate the Lord in my text and forget, actually forget, sublimely forget.. There is 110 happiness for you in any other plan or procedure. You see all around you in the church and out of the church dispositions acerb, malign, cynical, pessimistic. Do you know how these men and women got that disposition? It was by the embalmment of things panlhcrinc and viperous. They have spent much of their time in calling the roll of all the rats that have nibbled at their reputation. Their soul is a cage of vultures. Everything in them is sour orimbittered. The milk of human kindness lias been curdled. They do not believe in anylxxly or anything. If they see two people whispering, they think it is about themselves. If they see two people laughing, they think it is about themselves. Where there is one sweet pippin in their orchard there are tifty crabapples. They have never been a hie to forget. They do not want to forget.. They never will forget. Their wretchedness is supreme for no one can be happy if lie carries perpetually in mind the mean things t 1 . . I l.n !,??.. -I I- I ... nun iiiiii; men iKilir llllll. I Ml IMC Other hand, you can Hnd here and there a man or woman (for there are not many of them) whose disposition is genial and summery. Why? Have they always Ijcen t reated well? Oh, no. Hard tiling have been said against them. They have been charged with otllclousness, and their generosities have been set down to a desire for (lis play, and t hey have many a t ime been the subject of tittle tittatle. and they have had enough striaII assaults like gnats and enough great attacks ljke lions to have made them perpetually miserable if they would have consented to be miserable. lUit they have had enough divine philosophy to cast oil' the annoyances, and they have kept themselves in the sunlight of God's favor and have realized that these oppositions and hindrances are a part of a mighty discipline by which t hey are to be prepared for usefulness and heaven. The secret of It all is they have, by Hie belt) of the Eternal God, learned how to for get. Not only forget your pardoned transgression, but allow others to forget them. The chief stock on hand of some people is to recount in prayemeoting and pulpits what big scoundrels they once were. They not only will not forget their forgiven deficits, but they seem to lie determined that the church and the world shall not forget them. If you want to declare that you have been the chief of sinners and extol the grace that could save such a wretch as you were, do so, but do not go into particulars. Do not tell how many times you got drunk or to what bad places you went or how many free rides you had in the prison van before you were converted. Lump it, brother; give it to us in bulk, if you have any scars got in honorable warfare, show thorn, butlf vou have soars jrot in Igiu hie warfare <io not display thorn. I1 know you will quote tin* Bible reference to t ho horrible pit from wlil?*lt' yon were difjtrcd. Yes, bo thankful fort lint rsooue, but do not make displnys of the mud of that horrible pit or splash it over othfcr people. Sometimes 1 have felt in Christian meetings discomfited and unlit for Christian set viee because I had done none of those t hlntfs wliieh seemed to be, in t lie estimation of many, necessary for Christian usefulness, for I never swore a word or ever trot drunk or went to compromising places or was guilty of assault and battery or ever uttered a slanderous word or ever did any one a hurt, although I knew my heart was sinful enough, and I said to myself, "There Is 110 use of my t rying to do any trood, for I never went through those depraved expcrinccK." Hut afterward I saw consolation in the 1 bought l hat no one trained anv ordina lion !>y tin* laying on of the hand of dissoluteness and infamy. And though an ordinary moral life, ending in a Christian life, may not he asdramalica story to tcllal>out, let us he grateful to Cod rather than worry aUiut it if we have never plunged into outward ahominations. It may bcappropriate hi a meeting of reformed drunkards or reformed debauchees to tpiote for those not reformed how desperate and nasi v you once were, hut do not drlvt a scavenger's cart Into ass'unbla'gi s of people the most of whom have always been decent and respectable. lint I have hcen sometimes in great evangelical meetings when- people went into particulars about the sins that they once committed, so much so that I felt like putting my hand on my pocketbook or calling for the police lest these reformed men might fall from grace and go at their old business of theft or drunkenness or eutthroatery. If your sins have been forgiven .and your life purified, forget tlie waywardness of the past, ind allow others to forget it. Itnt what I most want in the light, of this text to impress is that we have a sin forgetting Cod. Suppose that on the last day called t he last, day hecause the sun will never again rise upon our earth, the earth itself bring ilung into tiers demolition supposing that on that last day a group of infernal spirits should somehow get near enough the gate of heaven and challenge our entrance and "say: ''How canst thou, the just Lord, lot those souls Into the realm of supernal glad nessV Why, they said a great many ! things they never ought to have said, j and (hey did a great many tilings Llicy ; ought never to have done. Sinners! are I hey sinners all." And suppose CJoil should deign to answer, lie might say: "Yes, but did not my only Son die for (heir ransom? I >id lie not pay the price? Not one drop of blood was retained In his arteries; not one nerve of his that was not wrung in t lie tort ore. I lo took in his own body and soul all t he suffering I hat those sinners deserve. They pleaded that sacritiee; they to >k the lull pardon that I promised to all who, through my Son, earnestly applied for it. and it [lassed out of my mind that they wore olVenders. I forgot all about it. Yes, I forgot all about it. 'Their.sins and their iniquities do I remember 110 more.'" A sin forgetting Clod! That is clear beyond and far above a sin pardoning (rod, How often we bear it said, "I can forg've. tail 1 cannot forget." That is equal iw ,viyin;;, i veroaiiy aumiL II 1* all ripht. but I will keep the old prudpc pood.'' There is somcthinp iu the demeanor thai seems to say; "I would not do you harm. Indeed I wish you well, but thai unfortunate alVair can never pass out of my mind." There may no hard words pass between t hem, hut until deat h breaks in the same coolness remain. Hut God lets our pardoned olVenses po into oblivion, lie never throws them up tons apain. lie feels as kindly toward us as though we had been spotless and positively angelic all alonp. Many years apo a family consist ing of the husband and wife and little pirl of two years lived far out in a cabin on a western prairie. The husband took a few cattle to market, llefore he started bis little child asked him to buy for her a doll, and he promised. He could after the sale of the cattle purchase household neccessities and certainly would not for pet the doll be had promised. In the village to which he went he sold the cattle and obtained the groceries for his household and t he doll for his lit tle darlinp. He st art ed home alonp the dismal road at nipht fall. As be went alonp on horseback a thunderstorm broke, and in the most lonely part of 1 be road and in the heaviest part of the storm he heard a child's cry. Hoblxns had been known to do some bad work alonp that road, and it was known that this herdsman had money with him, t he price of the cat tie sold. The herdsman firstthoupht it was a stratagem to have him halt and be despoiled of bis treasures, but the child's cry became more keen and rendinp, and so lie dismounted and felt around in Hie darkness and all in vain until he thought of a hollow t hat lie remembered near the road where (lie child might be, and lor t hat he started and, sure enough, found a little one fagged out and drenched of l lie storm and almost, dead, lie wrapped it up as well as he could and mounted his horse and resumed his journey homo. Com- j ing in sight of his cabin, he saw it all i lighted up and supposed his wife had kindled all these lights so as to guide her husband through the darknass. Hut no. The house was full of excitement. and the neighbors were gathered and stood around the wife of the house, who was insensible as from some great calamity, On inquiry the returned husband found that the little child of that cabin was gone. She had wandered out to meet her father and got the present he had promised, and the child was lost. Then the father unrolled from the blanket t lie child he had found in the fields, and, lo, It was Jus own child and the lost one of t he prairie home, and the cabin <]naked with the shout over the lost one found! Mow suggestive of the fact that once wo were lost In the open lields or among the mountain crags, God's wandering children, and he found us, flying in the tempest and wrapped us in the mantle of his love and fetched us home, gladness and congratulation bidding us welcome. The fact is that the world docs not ! I i..>; . . n J i ? know God or they would all lloek to lilin. So 1 set open the wide gate of my text. inviting you all to come into the mercy and pardon of (owl yea, still further, into the ruins of the place where once was kept the knowledge of your iniquities. The place lias been torn down and the records destroyed, and you will tind the ruins more dila pidated and broken and prostrate than the ruins of Melroseor Kenilworth, for from these last ruins you can pick up some fragment of a sculptured stone or you can see the curve of some broken arch, but after your repentance and your forgiveness you cannot find in all the memory of God a fragment of your pardoned sins so largo as a iiiriiR" s poim..

The neighing of the warhorses for some of the soldiers were in the saddle was one sound, the bang of the hammers was a second sound, the jeer of malignants was a third sound, the weeping of friends and followers was a fourth sound, the plash of blood on the rocks wasa llt'lli sound, and the groan of the expiring Lord was a sixth sound. And they all commingled into one sadness.

(Jen. Longstreet was badly wounded by the volley that killed Jenkins, which was lircd through mistake at tlie Twelfth Virginia Uogiment by their comrades of Mahone's brigade. The t roops wore moving down the l'lankroadat a critical moment of the battle, Jenkins' brigade by the road and Kershaw's division alongside. (Jen. Longsl reet rode at the head of the column, ae i<mii[minr<i dv .mmikins aii'I Kershaw, andafter discussing I lie proposed dispotion of their troops for reopening battle, Jenkins rode closer to Longstrcet. and said: " I am happy: I have felt despair of the cause for some months, Imt am now relieved, and feel assnrred that we will put the enemy hack across the liapidan h:.forc night." These were tlie last words he ever spoke. The Twelfth Virginia had hoen in advance, and was returning to its Place across the plank road when the other regiments of the brigade opened lire, believing it was an advance of tlie enemy. The Virginians threw themselves to the ground in order to let the lire pass over t hem, when the group of otlicers rode Into the line of tire, and Jenkins fell mortally wounded. Longstrcet was struck with a minie ball, which passed through his throat and right shoulder. Capt. Alfred Dohy, of*Kershaw's statT, and an orderly named Howen were killed instantly. These facts are stated because so many errors have been published recently in regard to Gen. Jenkings, growing Out of the nrominonen <rl vron I fS . ?

Jenkins held the rank of brlgadiergeneral, which he received for gallant and meritorious conduct at Seven Pines, (Jaines' Mill and I'ra/.ler's Farm in IX<i2.

Yours t ruly, C. FITZSIMONS, (Icneral Manager the Southern Cot ton (>il < oinpany. Coluinhia, S. C. To the Kditor of The News and Courier: Fanners from various sections of t lie State have been writing 'asking about the advisability of feeding horses and mules on cotton seed meal and hulls, and also asking for ;i cheaper rat on t lian corn. TIlO following prices are given ill d letter from Seranton, S. Corn, $-0 i per ton: oats, $4;*? per ton; wheat bran 925 iier ton; cottonseed meal. $26 pel ton; rice meal. $20 per ton. (if course, | corn and oats are out of the question I as a food for horses and mules at th< above prices so something cheapci must be looked for. The analysis shows that rice meal j has about the same composition as corn meal, and we have found that it is jusl as good for feeding pigs. \\\ have fed it to horses with good results. I think we are safe in saying that it may he used in place of corn, pound for pound. It no hay or fodder is used in the ration and hulls are resorted to us roughness, some nitrogenous food, such as loan or cotton seed meal, must he used to supply protein. Hulls may bo fed without any fear of injury to t lie aniipal. Should they refuse to eat t lie luilIs a little corn meal or bran sprinkled over t he surface will help to break t hem to it. A good rat Ion may be made up as follows: Cents. Six pounds of rice meal, costing O.t Four pounds of wheat bran, costing 6.( Two pounds of cotton seed meal, costing 2.C Ton pounds of cotton seed hulls, costing 3.C Total cost of rat ion per day 17.1 The above is for a horse or mule ol 1,000 pounds live weight. It is evident that a ration made up of corn and fodder and containing the same amount of digestible matter as t lie above rat ion would cost much more t ban t lie above. The Nort li Carolina Experiment Station has fed cotton seed meal and hulls to horses with good results, but the experiments along this line have not been extensive enough to say that cotton seed meal can tie fed in unlimited quant it ies for any lengt li of t ime wit houl injury to t lie animal.
